Well...here's my talk page. If anyone has questions about an edit I did, please put it here. --Silver seren 14:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Silver seren. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 23:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had a question, if you don't mind clarifying. Why do you believe that editing at 16 was against the rules in 2006? That's also the age I started editing (in 2018). As far as I'm aware, there's never been any prohibitions on who can edit. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From what I remember, Clovermoss, there did used to be a requirement that you were 18 or older when you made an account. That was way back in 2006 though and I know they loosened such requirements since, though I don't know exactly when. Silverseren^C 15:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked a few people who were editing in the early 2000s and they said that being a certain age was never a requirement to create an account. One editor even pointed me towards Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/WhisperToMe – a 2003 RfA where the candidate was 16. Is it possible that maybe you're thinking of a different website that required account creators be adults? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I honestly don't remember. I only remember my age being a concern at the time. It may not have been specifically about having an account, but for other reasons. Silverseren^C 22:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading free images to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider uploading public domain or freely licensed images there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can more easily use them, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow visitors to search for, view and use media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view your previous uploads here). Note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, and uploads of non-U.S. works are normally allowed only if the work is either in the public domain or covered by a valid free license in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work. Thanks, and please continue uploading! Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 04:37, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've refused to upload images to Commons for quite a few years now, Animalparty. After multiple instances of free images of mine being deleted on Commons on a technicality, without there even being an attempt to notify me about the issue or relevant discussions so I could localize them first, I decided Commons wasn't worth it. The culture over there, from multiple negative interactions over two decades, is not one I want to be a part of. If you want to move images I upload locally over there, feel free. But I won't be doing it. Silverseren^C 04:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that's been your experience. I've uploaded thousands of public domain and freely-licensed images with no trouble at all, aside from the occasional crop or upload of an image later found to have originally been uploaded under a false rationale (people lie or are unaware of copyright rules on Commons about as much as anywhere on the Internet). Let me know if you have any questions about the copyright status of a particular image, or feel free to start a discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright. All the best. --Animalparty!

On 14 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shirley Warde, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Shirley Warde not only starred in theater and movie productions, but also wrote playscripts and short stories for magazines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shirley Warde. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Shirley Warde), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Very interesting and well written entry. Thanks so much for all your work on it! FloridaArmy (talk) 01:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This actress starred in serials, married an actor and seems interesting.
