I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 12:40, Apr 9, 2004 (UTC)

Hello! Nice work on Valerian and on the rather obscure character Allan Kämpe. I have wikified (formatted and added links to) the entries on Munin (satellite) and Swedish National Space Board, which you initiated. Welcome to Wikipedia. -- Mic 21:43, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)

Hello! I saw that you fixed and formatted some of my contributions, it's great to see that people actually read them, heh. :) Anyway, thanks for the welcome. -- Maver1ck 18:00, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Translation!?

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

The communist government allocated substantial resources to the development of agriculture. Large-scale programs of land reclamation, soil improvement, and irrigation, as well as increased use of fertilizers, all contributed to a significant expansion of agricultural production. Yet, despite impressive gains, agricultural production continues to be hindered by the persistence of traditional farming methods, low mechanization, and a lack of material incentives to encourage farmers to produce. This lasting legacy of the forced collectivization of agriculture and the abolition of private property has made it necessary to return land to the peasants and allow them to raise crops and livestock for private profit. The expansion of private agriculture is intended to pave the way for the introduction of new farming techniques and mechanization.

[edit] Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Maver1ck! I suggest you re-read over the WP:3RR and slow down with the reverting.

Remember to assume good faith, even from anons. It's a little bit rude to remove something like a mergeto tag without so much as an explanation, I think.

Please feel free to make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Buffy#Faith (character) v Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Once we reach consensus, we can do whatever we've decided and not have a WP:LAME edit war. What do you say? :) If you want, you can reply on my Talk page.

Maver1ck, now you've given your opinion, stop reverting changes like these (mergeto/mergefrom). It won't lead anywhere productive. Let it be, even if you think it's on the "wrong" version. As I said, let's build Wikipedia:Consensus first, ok? And please read over Wikipedia:Etiquette and Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot. pfctdayelise 22:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Katie Holmes

Greetings! You have edited the Katie Holmes page in the past. I've completely reworked the article and have posted it on WP:PR in the hopes of advancing it to WP:FAC. I would be grateful for your comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Katie Holmes. PedanticallySpeaking 18:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Rachael Leigh Cook in AntiTrust.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rachael Leigh Cook in AntiTrust.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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 fair use 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. Abu Badali 22:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Vibeke.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] Image:Yoshinobu Launch Complex.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Yoshinobu Launch Complex.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. Chowbok ☠ 20:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe it's a tagging issue. The problem is that it's a fair-use image, and it seems to me that somebody could go down and take a new picture of the complex and release it under a free license, so therefore we shouldn't be keeping this one. —Chowbok ☠ 15:52, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
For us to be able to use it, they need to license it under terms that allow for anybody to copy it for any purpose, without permission. —Chowbok ☠ 18:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
