Userboxes
What do you do to have the userboxes on the right?--TheFry 14:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Discovered it. Also, I created my signature14:18, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

To protect pages
I can move pages and, can I protect pages such as my user page? 01:32, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, protecting pages can only be done by admins, and protection works by preventing users of certain groups from accessing a page. Protection of pages is something we usually only do when it has become a target of vandals. For now, there's no need. - Quolnok 10:35, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Uploading images
First, sorry for all my questions. I want to know if I can upload images this ways: Again, sorry for all my questions. 01:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I copy an image from Internet, regardless of waht site it came from, to a carpet of my computer. Then I upload it to the site. E.g.: I copy this image (it is just an example) and upload it here. What about copyright? Is it important?
 * I scan a picture made by me. You don't accept fan art, but I want to use it only in my user page. Do you allow it?


 * So, can I upload files those ways or I'll wait until next year for the answer? 21:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me answer them in your order:
 * Generally, we are not too worried, however, most people will be fine if you just mention in its description where you got it from, so unless a deliberate licence is attached to it, you should be fine.
 * You can upload pretty much what you want for your user page, within the limits of common sense, of course.
 * --Sviptalk 22:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, so there are no problems if I upload the image above (I won't do it, just an example). Also, my apologizes for the phrase above ("can I upload files those ways or I'll wait next year for the answer?") if it's too angry. 22:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem, but generally, questions on user talk pages can easily get ignored, because they are commonly user related, rather than technical difficult related. Since this question regarded image policy, I would have recommended the conference table. --Sviptalk 22:44, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
