Copying-pasting from Wikimedia
Hello. I have copyed-pasted an article from Wikipedia to wikicities and then changed it slightly (I may do further changes in the future). I have added at the bottom ==source== with a link to the original site and a link to the history. Is it ok ? An example, is at http://mexique.wikicities.com/index.php/Presse#Source --youssef 04:06, 29 déc 2004 (PST)


 * In a strict interpretation of the GFDL, it isn't perfect, but it's better than a lot of sites do. I think the date of the last revision at the time it was copied over would be useful. Angela 15:01, 10 Jan 2005 (PST)

Community portal
Should this page have a list of the WikiCities (with links to them and descriptions? Or is it more of a "social" page like the entrance to a building?  Or???  I'm just trying to get a sense of the intent before I make any changes. --CocoaZen 16:28, 8 Dec 2004 (PST)


 * For now, I've redirected it to List of Wikicities. Perhaps when there is more to discuss, it could be something else. Angela 20:15, 9 Dec 2004 (PST)


 * I think this could be made a more useful page now that the main page is more aimed at new visitors than at the existing community. Angela 20:21, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Banning IPs
How do you ban wiki vandals? I'm referring to this page, which got locked as the result of vandalism: http://peace.wikicities.com/wiki/Shamanism

 * If you log in as an administrator and use the "Special pages" link in the toolbox to go to Special:Specialpages, you should have a link (near the bottom of the page) to this page: Special:Blockip . JWSchmidt 20:44, 8 Apr 2005 (EDT)


 * There is also a [block] link next to each user on Recent Changes. Angela 19:44, 9 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Setting up a wiki logo
I'm probably just doing something wrong, but I cannot get the logo to display correctly at Religion. The logo's image description page is at. I've got the feeling that it's just too big, but I can't seem to be able to resize it. Does anyone have any helpful hints on this? --Gareth Hughes 11:30, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The image that had been uploaded to be the logo had a strange screen resolution; the horizontal and vertical resolutions were not equal. I changed it to 72 dpi. JWSchmidt 16:09, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. I was getting quite frustrated with it: I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what! Thanks for sorting that out. --Gareth Hughes 17:28, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
