getting an image on a page

Hi bob,

Try reuploading the file as Properties_box.jpg (lower case .jpg, not upper case .JPG). Then use something like

[[Image:Properties_box.jpg|left|Sample Properties box]]

to display the image. I hope it works!

Thanks Chuck but that doesn't seem to work. Have a look at the page: Admin:Uploading-New-Files Bobnotts 09:09, 10 January 2007 (PST)

Hi Bob, thank you for the message on my discussion page. Indeed, I've been editing my first page way too many times; I wasn't aware one could simply preview a page before committing it, but I will be aware of it in the future. Thanks again! --Arthur

Nowowiejski & Grzegorz Miskiewicz

Hi again, Bob; I just saw you requested deletion for Nowowiejski, which seems only right; however, on the other hand, I think this is a submission by a Polish composer who might need some help here on CPDL. Indeed, the page has been created by Grzegorz_Miskiewicz, whose Composer page could use much tidying up, as you can see. But still, the files linked to from his page are very much real, and the page for which you requested deletion is nothing else but an (admittedly buggy) reference to what seems to be a Polish version of “Stille Nacht”, the all-time favourite Christmas carol: check http://www.grzegorzmiskiewicz.republika.pl/cichanoc.pdf which obviously is the link the contributor meant to put on that page, and not the silly URL http://www.cichanoc.pdf/ (still, that is rather funny, I think, because it looks like a real URL from far away). By the way, from my very weak knowledge of Polish, “Cicha noc” indeed means “Quiet night”, so »Stille Nacht« in the original German.

Anyway, that particular page must still be deleted, and the (correct) reference has to be added on Stille Nacht (Franz Xaver Gruber); but, more importantly, I feel we have to contact the contributor and help him out with the process of submitting scores on CPDL, because he seems to have very much good will in contributing here. -- Arthur 2007-02-23 06:24 CET (05:24 UTC)
