Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Thanks so much

You were absolutely right (Thank God!). I did click the link on the warning templates, which leads me to the a dialogue box. However, I don't understand what you mean by "Type or paste the name of the image into the Subject: line". Could you please elborate on that. Now we're going somewhere. Thanks a million!!!

Facts

I respectfully request you strikeout the error contained in your post. I have never insinuated having viewed it, you will not find any evidence to support that claim, not even the link you posted makes that claim. I also never stated that I did not recognize the harm that results in most cases in the commission of it. I've more good faith in your attitude than your source's, so in good faith I am assuming you misinterpreted it via jumping to conclusions. I thought I had made this clear last year, but apparently I did not: I researched the symptoms, I don't fit them. As I consider some of the required symptoms for the diagnosis (none of which fit) to be negative personality qualities, I do not advocate on behalf of it. Quite the opposite. I do not understand concepts like acceptance or excuse-making so I do not discuss matters like that. I have never obfuscated this, nor do I intend to, and I do not think it is okay as described. It would need to be thoroughly redefined by some other authority until it had a definition I would consider neutral or positive. You only get that by taking the greek roots literally ("boy + friend") but I do not believe it has been used in that manner for two thousand years, people's efforts to reutilize it in such a manner are confusing and disruptive and I want no part of it.
