[edit] New Featured Picture Process

Hello, I notice that you recently voted on a few featured picture candidates. Please read the top of the featured pictures page; the process has recently changed. Now there is a 2 day commenting period before voting starts, so that there can be feedback on the image and it can be cleaned up if necessary.

Also, please do not remove the comments people leave on your discussion page. See Wikipedia:Talk_page#Etiquette and Wikipedia:Refactoring_talk_pages. ••MDD4696 ( talk - contribs ) 16:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Cu aerial.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cu aerial.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 15:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Medal images

High you removed my new images. I think they look more professional and fit in better. In what way do you think they are unclear, I could modify them a little, but they are just shrunken images of real gold, silver and bronze? Cheers, —Ruud 21:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

This is caused by a bug in Internet Explorer 6, I have asked if the MediaWiki developers can create a workaround or else I can convert the images to GIF files, in either case they will then be displayed on a white/light gray background just like they would be if you where using Firefox. Cheers, —Ruud 23:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I've have used GIF images this time, so it should work with IE6. COuld you tell me if you like the result? Cheers, —Ruud 00:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:PhoneAreaCodes orphaning

See Template:PhoneAreaCodes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

You participated in this template's TfD and indicated a willingness to help orphan. I don't doubt you've been hard at work but I see there are still quite a few articles left on the inlink list. I'd appreciate it if you would help us finish this off. Thank you. John Reid 07:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Varied interests

I was just browsing the World Cup 2006 article that you had done some edits on, then I took a look at your recents edits. Wow! You have varied interests. It's good to see editors with a wide spread of interests - all too often editors get bogged down in their own subject area and become too petty. Nice one. SilkTork 01:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footballbox

No problem, I noticed that there were 64 matches in the World Cup, and of course many World Cups in the future, not to mention other football competitions... seemed like the perfect time to make a template for it :) – ugen64 23:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Just a quick note to say congratulations on your arial picture of Downtown Chicago. It's Fantastic!! Skyscraper297 09:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Cup

Hehe, we made it! I never trusted the goalkeeper, but today I promised to never insult him again, hehe. And we'll meet France, what a surprise, I didn't expected. Brazil looked like just any other team today. Anyway, I don't like them. Afonso Silva 21:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mukhtar Mai - Accused Rapists.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mukhtar Mai - Accused Rapists.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation 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.

[edit] Awesome gif

Nice job uploading that gif of Zidane - and so quickly too. It shows it much better than words could. --Loudsox 21:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

You had it looped, but then made it not loop. I think you should make it loop at least three times (a compromise), that way you don't have to reload the whole page to see it again. You need to see it a couple times to get the full effect. Check the talk page of that image. good work either though man. --Jaysscholar 15:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm so curious as to what the Italian player actually said! But it also might've just been like the straw the broke the camels back. Definately disappointing to go out like that... --Loudsox 21:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

I did not remove anything. Did you mistouk me for somebody else? What edits are you talking about? Chaldean 20:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh man, I apologize for that. I was just trying to add the flags of Israel, Hezbollah, and Lebanon's. Sorry again. Chaldean 21:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey no problem. If it was inadvertent, then its ok. Just be careful next time. Happy editing! sikander 21:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Lebanon harat hreik neighbourhood.jpg

Hi. The author claims copyright on this. He didn't release it into CC-BY-2.0 or CC-BY-SA-2.0... the two licenses flickr allows that are compatible with Wikipedia. I have messaged the man to see if he will allow it to be under a free license but until then I've put it on the unfree images list. gren グレン 10:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] revert dispute International reactions to the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict

Hi, There is an dispute in International reactions to the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. The dispute is over inclusion of the AIPAC reaction to a US House of Representatives Resolution expressing support for Israel. Various accusations are being thrown around by Comrade438 eg. im being accused of trying to paint a "zionist conspiracy".

Comrade438 has made few silly edits, and comments, along with what might be a threat. It degenerated to Comrade438 blocking the page without consulting WP:RPP, then reverting last changes. I am trying to alert other users who have edited the article to this dispute as I believe the detail should be included. Is it possible you can look and see if you agree that AIPAC's reaction should be included in the article? I dont believe its a content issue and is possible trolling. I previously highlighted the problems on wikipedian noticeboard [1] 82.29.227.171 21:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:University Of Ottawa.gif)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:University Of Ottawa.gif. 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. Durin 18:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Short articles

Please don't keep creating "clones" of the Deal or No Deal models. They're almost totally lacking content and are creating a lot of cleanup for other editors. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 03:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
