User talk:Phi*n!x

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have no talk, so here's some I guess. About your userboxes, the grammar ones; I use the serial comma, like they taught in Oxford years ago (and second grade, ironically). Singular they is substandard, but its the only representation we have of a person of unknown gender. It would be considered rude, as would he (which is used for this purpose in other languages, right?).

Oh, and Radical Pi is greater than Phi. Especially when it's 'nixxed.--Radical Pi 21:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I didn't get a chance to tell you today... I ported the song "So long and Thanks for all the Fish" to my 84+S. Want a copy?--Radical Pi 19:55, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:DurmstrangClothes.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:DurmstrangClothes.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Template for image deletion notification

Per your question on my talk page, I do not believe that there is a specific list of templates waiting to be used (I could be wrong, but I ain't found it yet!).

There are four basic reasons (at least that I use) for deleting an image:

1. as per the orphaned fair use criteria used on your Harry Potter image, see Image:DurmstrangClothes.png and in the red box is a cut and paste subst notice to be placed on the uploaders talk page
2. lacking a source of the image (ie who shot the picture, what website, what specific magazine cover)
3. lacking a copyright licence (ie is it fair use, public domain etc), see Image:Death6hp.png and in the red box is another similar cut and paste notice
4. normal nomination, Image for Deletion (IfD) of an image (similar to article for deletion (AfD) and category for deletion (CfD)). I usually am just nominating this way public domain images that are orphan; see Image:Crystal kthememgr reversed.png and click on the small "show" tag in the red box. You will see the various cut and paste messages.

To see the messages left on the respective talk pages of the uploader, click on the talk page link of the uploader and look for the notice left there. The notices are all similar, but are slightly different. If there is anything else, please feel free to drop me a note.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 01:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
