[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:B00004UD9C.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:B00004UD9C.jpg. 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. 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. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 15:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the help

Thanks for cleaning up after several of my sloppy linkless tags with no date on them. I'm a little dim sometimes. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 03:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Re: Amy Sillman

Hi Thaurisil, Thanks for your kind comments re: the Amy Sillman page. I am the original author of the text, which does appear elsewhere online. I do hold the copyright to the material, but don't own the website on which it appears. Is it possible for this eternal website to verify copyright clearance to Wiki? Is there an email, or online verification page that they can submit to? If you could please let me know would be very helpful. Thanks again for your assistance. --Infoart 12:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thaurisil,

You're awesome! Thanks so much for the help. Will sort out some kind of validation with Wiki via the links you posted. Best, --Infoart 18:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Manchester United F.C. players

Hello Thaurisil, you have done a great job on the List of Manchester United F.C. players. I believe it belongs among Wikipedia's featured lists. You should nominate it today. Regards, Crzycheetah 21:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

According to stretford.co.uk, Graeme Hogg had 107(2 subs) appearances. Since you've changed the number of appearances to 108(2), I am just curious where you got that number from and which source is more reliable. Thanks, Crzycheetah 18:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Jim Brown (soccer) or James Brown (American footballer)

Hi. I noticed that you've moved the article Jim Brown (soccer) to James Brown (American footballer). While the second title is also correct, I've moved it back to its original title. There are three reasons. 1. Soccer, instead of football, is the term used in USA, and the player is famous for his playing days in USA. 2. The term "American footballer" can be quite easily confused with "American football". 3. Despite his official name being "James", it is quite common for Scots (and of course many other people) to be called "Jim". For example, this article from the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame [1], even with the title being "James Brown", refers to him as "Jim" in the whole article. That's why I named the article as such when I created the page as I think this is a better title. I hope you're okay with it. Chanheigeorge 06:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] List of Manchester United players

I see that you have been adding as many players as possible to List of Manchester United F.C. players. I found a website that has information on all but one player [2] that does not have an article on the talk page. The missing player is Alfred Steward. But, is Alfred Steward the same as Alf Steward?. Both are GK, both played about the same time. For the website from above, some players named "Jim" or "Jack" could be under "James" or "John", respectively. Let me know if you need any help!

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Manchester United F.C. players

Shh! People will think I make a habit of editing United articles... After making that edit I had to create Graham Baker just to make up for it ;-) Seriously though, good job on the list. Oldelpaso 21:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Camp Cuddly Pines: Power Tool Massacre

Please stop removing the orphan tag and giving no reason for it. The article is not linked from any articles. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 05:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The reason why I didn't put it on the article itself is because IMO there are too many tags on articles these days, and some like this would likely baffle readers. Thanks, CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 12:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
