[edit] WP:UW

Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 08:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Getting you an admin coach (2)

Hi Bigtop. I'm messaging you again because I think my previous message may have been lost in your archiving. Please see here. If you don't want an admin coach just let me know and I'll remove your name from the list. Thank you. --Fang Aili talk 15:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editted my userpage

You reverted my changes to my user page here. Is it because they contained the word "fuck"? As such, are you going to have to revert this page before you can respond to my inquiry? How will I get your response? Buttboy666 22:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Paul J. Gelegotis Memorial Bridge

The article Paul J. Gelegotis Memorial Bridge has been substantially rewritten with multiple nontrivial sources, after your vote for deletion. Would you please reconsider your position.

[edit] AFD

I would like you to re-consider your vote on AFD for Ill.Skillz. There actually IS a claim of notability. If you check the article you will find multiple non-trivial published works of which Ill.Skillz is the subject of. Please consider changing your vote to keep. --OriginalJunglist 14:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your AFD activities

I have noticed that for the January 4 AFD, it seems you just went down the line and voted "per nom". Please don't just copy and paste and vote down the page with the same vote for each one. This hurts Wikipedia as a whole, as articles that could be improved are instead thrown out due to your vote counting. Please, instead of voting in such a way, instead improve articles if you can.

[edit] AfD Nomination: A Best 2

An editor has nominated the article A Best 2 for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Best 2. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article A Best 2 during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] Re: Image:Secretpromo4.PNG

Well, it can be used in the album's article for sure, but not sure about the Ayumi Hamasaki article. The problem is that it is being currently used to represent Ayumi Hamasaki's being, which fails our fair use criteria. Personally, unless we can find something to say about it (in example, the jewels used were the same ones someone else used for another promo, that the tattoo was temporal or permanent and especially made for the album promotion, or something about the image itself and not Hamasaki), I am not sure it can stay. No luck with the Flickr users, apparently they are inactive or dismissed my mails. I will try to find an image somewhere else. -- ReyBrujo 06:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I think you may have been replying to the wrong person. (I've also commented on the image's talk page.) ShadowHalo 06:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Airbus_logo_B.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Airbus_logo_B.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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. — Rebelguys2 talk 05:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:UW future?

Hi, Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace template issue. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.
