[edit] Lars Ulrich

Here's your proof [1] Bencey 21:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've updated Lars Ulrich using that citation. In future, and if you don't know how to, you can cite sources yourself. For intructions, see WP:CITE. --Mark ^{(Talk | Contribs | Email)} 18:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment at PUI

Hi Mark. You asked here to be corrected if you were wrong, and you sort of were. Images that are not in the public domain or available under a free license must comply with our fair use policy. That image of Lars Ulrich does not appear to meet criterion #1 of the policy (also see counterexample #8). You may want to revisit the other images that you have tagged with {{promotional}} and make sure they have a detailed fair use rationale explaining, among other things, the reasons that it is not possible to create a free image of their subjects. If they do not comply with our policy, please list them for deletion so that they do not hurt our chances of acquiring free images that will be able to stay with the articles permanently. Regards ×Meegs 13:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, many thanks for bringing it up, I'm a bit rusty (to say the least) with fair usage policies. I've refreshed myself with that right now, and yes, your justification to delete that image is perfectly fair and correct. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. Regards, Mark ^{(Talk | Contribs | Email)} 20:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Your unintended vandalism of Fuck (disambiguation)

Okay, here's a new one. You inadvertently reverted the cleanup edit that had just reverted some blatant vandalism -- in other words, you (actually your vandalbot, WP:VPRF) restored the blatant vandalism. Aye, aye, aye. Well, if it was gonna happen anywhere, I guess this was a good page for it!. :) Cgingold 07:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops. Never mind! 07:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Well thanks for pointing out my error - I've started using VP only recently and as such am learning how it works - my edit was just a mistake. Also, I think calling my revert vandalism is a bit strong, especially as I reverted my erroneous revert immediately. No hard feelings. Regards, Mark ^{(Talk | Contribs | Email)} 17:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi, Mark. Since you've replied, I've gone ahead and removed the "invisible text" tags, so my original note(s) will now appear on your talk page. I wasn't sure if you'd even see my note(s), unless you went looking. No sooner had I left that first note, than I discovered that you had already spotted and reverted your own mistake (ergo, "oops. Never mind!"), so I figured the whole thing was moot -- no need to "rub it in". :) I can see how a page like that might trip up a bot. Anyway, I hope it was obvious that I actually found the whole thing rather amusing! Regards, Cgingold 21:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Andyburrows.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Andyburrows.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 15:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Andyburrows.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Andyburrows.jpg. 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.

[edit] Countries Visited

You should not have England in the list as you already live in England and not visting it, also Wales don't count as you live in the UK. Saintrotter 14 March 2007

I suppose so. Not sure what you mean about Wales, but I'll mark England as residence. Thanks! --Mark ^(Talk) 20:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Edits to The Used-related articles

they didnt need to be on every page just put it on the main page..it gets redicolous to have them everywhere —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xotheusedguyox (talk • contribs).

I see your reasoning, but as you can see by looking at Category:Band_templates, there are thousands of these templates for bands, and they are used on all the band's pages for albums etc. I'm going to revert all your edits that removed this template. Thanks, Mark ^(Talk) 21:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for adding them back yourself, much appreciated. Cheers, Mark ^(Talk) 23:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

i updated them a bit too..added the singles and edit some titles it looks fine and informative now —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xotheusedguyox (talk • contribs).
