[edit] Copyrights

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Storefront, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from web sites. For more information, take a look at our policy library. Happy editing! --Xcali 03:09, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Companies of Canada

Just to let you know, Wikipedia has certain rules around the application of categories to articles. Namely, you shouldn't file an article such as Sam the Record Man in "Companies of Canada" if it's already in "Retail companies of Canada", because "Retail companies of Canada" is already a subcategory of "Companies of Canada". The rule is that an article is only filed in the narrowest appropriate categories; the category is then subcategorized in wider categories. Bearcat 05:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 6% for major edits and 7% for minor edits. (Based on the last 132 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear inpolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:26, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice addition

Enjoyed the addition of the picture to the Ernie Coombs article. Thanks. -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 08:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Please do NOT remove AfD tagging. eLNuko 10:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

This is nothing personal. In my opinion this article (Conklin_Shows) does represents company which is not notable and I express this opinion by nominating this article for AfD. Now let Wikipedia community deside its fate. eLNuko 10:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

I note that you have added a number of articles to the Toronto category. Before you do so, you should check to make sure that the article is not already in a subcategory of the main Toronto category -- I notice that a number of your recent edits have resulted in just that. Articles should not be included in both the main category and a subcategory. Thanks. Skeezix1000 19:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terry Fox Run

Hi, just pointing out that the correct spelling is indeed endeavor. Cheers, Netsnipe 08:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Shoppers Drug Mart Old 1990s Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Shoppers Drug Mart Old 1990s Logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gardiner Expressway

Do you have any basis for this new change? If so, you should provide a reference. Atrian 13:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] See also

Hi, there. As you may know, the "See also" section provides an additional list of internal links as a navigational aid, and it should ideally not repeat links already present in the article (see Wikipedia:Guide to layout). For that reason, there is no need to list Expo 67 as a "see also" link in the Canadian Centennial article, given that it is already linked in the body of the short article. Skeezix1000 11:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Bank Plaza

When you add new information to an article, you should try to avoid marking the edit as being minor. According to Help:Minor edit, minor edits generally imply "trivial changes only, such as typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes and rearranging of text without changing any content." Hope that helps. Skeezix1000 11:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be low:

Edit summary usage for Themepark: 33% for major edits and 9% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 16:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of political flops

Please reread 1993 Chretien face ad before asserting in articles that the ad used a slogan it didn't use: no ad in that election campaign used "Would you trust someone who only speaks out of one side of his mouth?" as a slogan. Whether that was the semiotic subtext of the ad or not, which is a bit of a POV dispute, it wasn't the slogan. Bearcat 06:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Efteling logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Efteling logo.gif. 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. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 14:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flyerman

Hi, just a friendly note to say that I think you may have a difficult time justifying the inclusion of Flyerman in Wikipedia since there is a very weak assertion of notability. The person himself is essentially just an average but quirky Joe; there's nothing notable about him except that he's had a documentary made about him. That makes the documentary more notable than the individual and not every individual who appears in a documentary should have an article in Wikipedia. Maybe an article about the documentary itself would be less likely to be deleted, if, for example, the documentary has received significant critical acclaim, etc. Or maybe it's time to write an article about the director(s), including the information you've placed in the Flyerman article there. Hope this helps. BFD1 22:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Flyerman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —P ilotguy (ptt) 02:31, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
