[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Oil Kings.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Oil Kings.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] Sage of Ice
Sage of Ice and I worked out our differences eleven days ago by staying cool and trying to find common ground. I'm sorry if I caused you stress in the past, but let's let bygones be bygones. I actually planned on apologizing to you, but I respected your wishes for me to not edit your user talk page. (If you still want a full apology, let me know - I had one all typed up and ready to go.) Maybe just try reading what I write in a happy voice. Really, I think I'm a pretty nice person, and I think we just got off on the wrong foot. I know I'm not perfect, but please don't go around trying to damage my reputation. My reputation on Wikipedia isn't worth all that much trouble, and I'm sure we'd both prefer if you could spend your time improving articles, instead of making comments about other editors. As I said to Sage of Ice, carry on with the good edits, and have a nice day. --Muéro(talk/c) 05:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Was it really only eleven days ago? Time has crawled far slower than I imagined.
As Muéro said though, Strokes, we came to terms with one another, so don't worry about it. It was never really much of an argument to begin with. I mean, neither of us had really done anything to the other, so it was just casual discourse between editors. I try to keep myself as neutral as possible when dealing with others here on Wikipedia. I do appreciate the fact that you were just trying to help me out, however, so thanks for the thought.
I'm no longer relevant, though, so now it's up to you and Muéro to get things sorted out amongst yourselves so no one has to clash in the future. Best of luck to both of you.
One thing perplexes me though... how were you, Strokes, brought to my talk page so randomly and... how did you, Muéro, become aware of Strokes's message so quickly without anyone mentioning it? Are you guys on each other's watchlists or am I the one under vigilance here? Either way, carry on... Sage of Ice 07:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Age in infoboxes
I just happened to see a hockey player page with the birth date and age formatting, and I thought it would be helpful to have the age listed. But, if infoboxes are for critical information only, you're absolutely right, it shouldn't be included. I really don't care if it's there or not, it was just the way I preferred it. Could you give me a link to where you found that infoboxes shouldn't include age, or are for critical information only? I won't bother arguing since it's not a big deal, but I would rather see the rationale so I can learn something new and become a better editor. Also, thanks for letting me know I should stop before I did any more. --Muéro(talk/c) 04:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I too would like to know where this is stated. Of course infoboxes can't contain just about anything, but I still don't see why age can't be included. After all, the height and weight of an athlete is usually given both according to the metric system and in US customary units and that's hardly critical either, since it's fairly easy to convert. Equally non-critical and redundant is the practise of having the nationality accompanied by a flagicon. --x-Flare-x{Talk) 03:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- The Date and age template is used in a lot of infoboxes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Birth_date_and_age. I believe it was probably for that the template was created. --claes 06:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What?
What are you talking about. Where do you come in? I see, I did make a mistake, but are you the IP or just a different user. I was going through and messed up. RedSkunktalk 19:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry... so here!
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:NewCrest.png
Thanks for uploading Image:NewCrest.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Longhair\talk 07:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
