[edit] Hillaryland

The claim you made that the Hillaryland stub was unverified and unsourced is blatantly inaccurate. I sourced the original stub with a link to the Washington Post, the preeminent political news organization in the US. If that is unsourced, then tell me what is. Your labelling struck me as arbitrary and spurious. --TallulahBelle 17:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, please remember to assume good faith on the part of other editors - your enquiry is unnecessarily hostile in tone. I don't think that you mean this but words on a page can be interpreted in more than one way. Hmmm, I see the problem. You have supplied an external link but not placed it within the framework for inline references, so it doesn't display in the prescribed manner. Have you seen Wikipedia:Footnotes at all? This demonstrates the correct manner for applying <reference> tags. Wikipedia:Citing sources is also useful. I will either make the necessary changes to the article when I return at 2100 UTC or look and see what you have done in the interim. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Who died and made you Emily Post?--TallulahBelle 18:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I imagine that this is an American pop culture reference that is lost on me. I'll sort the article out now, if it hasn't already been done. (aeropagitica) 21:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

The reference is now correctly cited. (aeropagitica) 21:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

My irritation towards you is founded on two factors: One, your double standard which verges on the hypocritical, and two, your tone and manner, which is portentous to the point of pompous.
Regarding the first issue: You present yourself as a stickler for detail and correct usage. Yet your failure to note a perfectly legitimate and clear reference to the Washington Post in the stub leads me to believe that you are only trying to give the appearance of thorough conscientiousness. Were you actually conscientious and detail-oriented, you would have easily noted the reference. If you had been unsatisfied with its form, you could have corrected it in your first edit. Yet in your first edit to the stub, you chose to place spurious labels on it, labels that serve no other purpose that to disqualify its veracity, rather than correcting what you claim was erroneous referencing.
Hence I don't believe you are actually conscientious or concerned about the veracity of Wikipedia articles. From your actions, I infer that you're interested in merely seeming to be so.
Second, your tone and manner: Admittedly, a pompous and portentous prose style isn't something that can be changed as easily as, say, a bad hair style. It's a reflection of your personality, after all. 'Nuff said.
Finally, the Emily Post reference isn't exactly pop culture—it's general culture. Again, it's something which a lack of genuine conscientiousness would prevent someone from finding out.

[edit] Expatica

Why do we have to keep unsourced spam on the strength of a 2/1 vote? I deleted this on sight, but restored when I read the talk page. Jimfbleak 06:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing to prevent you from relisting this article on the AfD pages. If you have a business case for its deletion then please state it there. Regards, (aeropagitica) 16:07, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
OK, thanks. I've got to go to Hull tomorrow, but I'll think whether it's worth it when I get back, Jimfbleak 16:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baltimore City College WikiProject

Hello I wanted to know if you could help me with a severe article problem with Baltimore City College. The members of their wikiproject keep reverting edits and monopolizing the entire article, including whats said in the article. there are a lot of POV statements that can't be changed because no administrators have intervened yet. If you look at the backlog, only two or three editor have made the last couple hundred edits, and they keep shutting other editors, like me, out. Your help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.Thx2005 14:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Circus metal (again)

Hello. I am messaging you about the recreation (I believe for the fifth time) of the article Circus metal. I have seen you have participated in a previous AfD procedure for the article, and I would think you would be interested to give your opinion in the most recent one. Thanks in advance.

[edit] Question regarding linkspam

In a case where a user has added similar linkspam to a great many articles (e.g., [1]), is there a way to remove them all, without going through each article and simply hitting undo? I have gone through roughly half the articles on his contributions list, and have already left him a warning, but this is growing tedious. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have. Cheers! ---TheoldanarchistComhrá 17:32, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know of an autotool that would assist with this task, unfortunately. When I have dealt with similar cases I have had to keep the vandal's contributions page open in one tab and open each instance of offending linkspam in other tabs for rollback purposes. A little time-consuming to be sure. Perhaps someone else knows of such a tool? If you discover one then please do tell me! I have a feeling that its use may be reserved because of the possibilities of mass vandalism if it fell in to the wrong hands. Regards, (aeropagitica) 20:33, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Ok, makes sense. I am wrapped up in something else at the moment, but I will get back to deleting all that rubbish later. Thanks for your response. ---TheoldanarchistComhrá 20:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Marijuana Logues Script

I wanted to know if it was OK for me to add to the content of Wikipedia's current Marijuana Logues page by adding the script. I don't know if there are copy write policies in place... So basically I didn't want to figure out if I could and I just wanted a yes or no from someone with an informed opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.32.32.211 (talk • contribs)

All contributions to Wikipedia projects are governed by the GFDL licence. This means that every edit you make is given to the Wikimedia foundation and is no longer your property. If you want to post the creative work of other people then you need their express written permission that they acknowledge that the work now belongs to Wikipedia. Most people won't want to do this, so I would advise against cutting-and-pasting the work of others against their wishes. Read the help pages for more details.

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:STByAnyOtherName.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:STByAnyOtherName.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect.

On a personal note, I very much appreciate your early and strong support! - Philippe | Talk 18:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

I would like to know how to change the color in my signature. I went to the signature page on Wikipedia but it did not do a good job of giving step by step instructions. I was wondering if you knew. Also, it said you need to be registered. Are being a user and being registered the same thing? Thank you, Libertyville 14:46, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Being a user and being registered are not the same thing, as the English Wikipedia currently accepts contributions from anonymous IP editors. You are registered as you have set up an account with a username to which your contributions are attributed. Changing your signature is not a difficult thing to do. Before I say anything else, I would encourage you to keep the code down to the bare minimum required, as often people create pretty signatures that take up three or more lines of code. This is very awkward to read through when contributing to a Talk page or a Policy page discussion.
The code for my signature looks like this: [[User talk:(aeropagitica)|(aeropagitica)]] - very simple indeed. If I want to change the colour of said signature, I would add a hex value to the signature like this: [[User:(aeropagitica)|<span style="color:#080080">(aeropagitica)</span>]] which looks like this: (aeropagitica). The list of web colors is available at Web colors and you can experiment using the 'Show preview' button to minimise the number of edits you make. You can also create a user sub-page to do this. Please remember to keep the code string down to the bare minimum for the comfort and convenience of other editors! Regards, (aeropagitica) 07:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. - Libertyville | Talk 01:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Deletion? wtf?

I made a page for both Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso. i dont understand why they were deleted. They are huge and they are in a band called Metro Station for whom I also created a page for. They have a cd out in September and their own myspace and purevolume pages. This all seems so stupid. And Trace is Miley Cyrus' brother. And Mason is Mitchell Musso's brother. It seems everyone on here is out of the loop so I'll clue you in. They are on Disney Channel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LMSKICKS (talk • contribs)

Your explanation means nothing to me, sorry. If you have a request for a deleted page to be ressurected then please take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review along with your business case. I'd recommend explaining yourself in the clearest possible terms, as referring to one musician of which I know nothing in defence of a deleted article on another musician of which I know nothing is not a sound basis for argument. Where possible, articles should be sourced and those sources should be cited according to the guidelines. If you have an idea for an article but haven't gathered your sources together then it is best to place your ideas in a personal sandbox for revision before publication in the main article space. Lastly, please don't forget to sign your Talk page comments with four tildes, ~~~~, as this makes it far easier to contact you when you leave comments.

[edit] About the Copyrights

i want to ask that can i upload an image of a sportsman taken from TV?--Adeelbutt88 talk 16:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I would take a look at Wikipedia:Image use policy and also ask your question at the Village Pump where someone better qualified than me in dealing with images will be able to assist. My impression is that the broadcaster of the image that you have captured would own the copyright and unless they have given you express permission to upload it to Wikipedia or Commons then its use on this project would not be advisable. Someone else will be able to give you a more thorough explanation of image usage, though. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted deletion debate

Hi. How's everything? A while back you deleted Talk:Pro-American sentiment under G8 after closing the afd. The talk page, however, was an archived deletion debate of an earlier "votes for deletion" (VfD) debate. See Wikipedia:Archived delete debates/May to Jun 2004, where this page is listed, now red-linked. This comes up as a result of this post at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Always a glutton for tedious research, I am going through the many red-linked pages and notifying the deleting admins. Can you restore the page? Thanks.--Fuhghettaboutit 02:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing there to say that anything on the Talk page has been preserved as a result of an earlier debate and should be retained rather than deleted. Can you adjust that omission once I recreate the Talk page, please. It seems strange to see a Talk page with no associated article; it leaves open the possibility that another admin will delete it as a G8 case too. Regards, (aeropagitica) 09:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shared IP's

I noticed that you had blocked 63.3.1.129 from editing wikipedia on May 20, 2007. If you are interested in whether the shared IP makes a difference as far as vandalism goes, you might look at the edits that were made with the other IP numbers this person uses. 63.3.69.136 - 63.3.69.133 - 63.3.69.6 - 63.3.1.1 You will see that he/she edits Linda Ronstadt frequently from each IP address, and has made numerous vandalizing edits from each of the IP addresses listed. I don't know if this makes a difference, but hopefully it will shed a bit of light on this problem. I'm not trying to start any trouble... Just merely pointing out the obvious. Let me know what you think... --Candy156sweet 03:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bluejam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bluejam.jpg. 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}} 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 {{non-free fair use in|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 09:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference link

How do we make it so that the text we wrote can link to the reference spot witht he little number on top?--Rws killer2 16:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC) Also, how do we import an image?--Rws killer2 17:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

First question; you need to read Wikipedia:References to understand the different styles of referencing that are permitted on this Wikipedia.
Second question; you need to read Wikipedia:Uploading images. When you have read this, click on 'Upload file' on the bottom of the menu on the left-hand side of the page and follow the instructions. I would also consider uploading images to Commons in order that they can be shared amongst the other Wikimedia projects with the same GFDL licence rather than uploading the same image to each database separately. (aeropagitica) 20:47, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sinai 48

I just placed a coi tag on Sinai 48 since it seems to have been created by one of the band members. However looking at the history (it's been here several months) I'm wondering if the tag was unnecessary. Should it be there or no? -WarthogDemon 23:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I would be tempted to mark it {{db-band}} from looking at the sentence; "Sinai 48 first formed in 2006 and have recorded one album to date that is expected to be released in the Spring of 2007." If not that then maybe an AfD. There would also be a conflict of interest if the band members were writing about the band. If they are notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia then there will be contributors to said article other than themselves. (aeropagitica) 23:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Consider it afdified. -WarthogDemon 23:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

There might be an issue in that the band has notable members such as Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac but their lack of album releases makes this an equivocal matter for me, so the AfD will clear up the consensus viewpoint. (aeropagitica) 23:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Should I add them too? I already added Tom Moncrieff unless I should take him off. -WarthogDemon 23:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't put either Buckingham or Fleetwood Mac up for AfD as they are both notable entities under WP:Music and WP:BIO. Buckingham's band is equivocal as he is notable but the band hasn't released anything of note. Buckingham himself in unequivocal in my opinion, referring to the above criteria.

[edit] A present for you

Hello Aeropagitica, I have made a little something for you to display your barnstars on your userpage. (The code is really long, so I won't post it here.) If you want to use it, please tell me, and I can make a subpage for you or whatever. If you don't, that's fine. Anyways, happy editing! Neranei (talk) 22:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

No one hands out barnstars to me, so the gift is redundant. Cheers anyway. (aeropagitica) 23:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I beg to differ. I went and dug through your archives, and found 5 barnstars. If you still want it, here's what it'll look like.

<code redacted>

Anyways, you don't have to use it, but I thought you'd like to know you've had barnstars. :) Cheers, Neranei (talk) 23:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for your kind attentions. Who would have thought that vandal-whackers would be so appreciated? I will consider using it! Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page move question

As the subject tag indicates, I have a question about a page move. This article Rider ericsson was just created within the last 10 minutes or so, but it has been titled incorrectly. The name of the company is Rider-Ericsson, with the hyphen and a capital e on Ericsson. I was going to move the page to Rider-Ericsson and be done with it, but wondered if Rider-Ericsson Engine Company might not be more appropriate. Any thoughts? What is the standard on Wikipedia, 'cause I simply do not know. Thanks for your time. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 04:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

The guideline for redirecting in the article space is located at Wikipedia:Redirect. I would suggest using the correct name for the article proper and popular-but-incorrect names for the redirect articles, including poor case usage and lack of hyphenation. Regards, (aeropagitica) 04:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice. No need for any further redirects, as the only pages that link are your talk page and mine. Thanks again. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 04:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Star500

I didn't mean to bother you, but can you monitor or block indef this user that has been inactive since 2006? Thanks! $my money$ 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I need to bring up User:InventDa behavior. I've posted a query on both his talk page, but received no reply. I've posted to ANI [2], and was told not to worry. He posted a message on the talk page for User Talk:Star500 asking that the user respond by October 18, and within five minutes, decided that he waited long enough [3]. I'm not sure what the precedent for demanding that inactive accounts be closed, but I find User:InventDa to be heavy-handed and bordering on uncivil in their actions Yngvarr (t) (c) 18:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I should totally think this user (InventDa) has to be blocked for vandalizm to Wikipedia? Do you think so? @Wikipedian@ 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Inactive accounts are not deleted. Admins don't have the power to do this anyway. There is no requirement or precedent for indef-blocking someone who hasn't breached the vandal guidelines or been active for more than a year. Uncivil comments are not in themselves a reason for blocking editing rights to Wikipedia. They may be grounds for a warning about behaving properly and respectfully towards other editors and admins, however. Each case is judged on its own merits. (aeropagitica) 21:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
No, i'm talking about InventDa being blocked, not the inactive user. @Wikipedian@ 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Actually, InventDa's signature is a little misleading, as it's not his name . He's the original poster in this thread. When I saw his edits, and then saw him posting here, I figured I'd try to talk to you, so I posted about InventDa directly below. His actions makes me raise an eyebrow. I'm not necessarily talking about blocking, but someone should speak with this user. I've tried, but he (?) basically ignored my message, and doesn't seem interested in dialogue. ((and there's some spacing issues on this thread, too, which I'll deal with, for clarity, as I don't think that is considered bad form) Yngvarr (t) (c) 23:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm, this is a little confusing but from the looks of the diffs provided then this InventDa editor could do with some user education. Perhaps a mentor or to allow himself to be adopted. That won't be more, more's the pity, as I currently have an ongoing off-wikipedia project that takes too much of my screen time away from this project. (aeropagitica) 22:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St Mungo's Primary School

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article St Mungo's Primary School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. B.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fall to pieces single.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fall to pieces single.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, on 15:18, 13 May 2007 a user (I think it was User:Boy on her bike) created a page entitled Richard W. Halsey. I was wondering if you could copy the deleted page and paste it into a subpage of my username, so that I could view it. Thank you! --Ye Olde Luke (talk) 03:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, you should unlock the page, redirect it to Syriac (disambiguation) and protect it again. This User:VegardNorman is POV-pushing an agenda and none of his sources are reliable, academic, or anything else. — EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 00:34, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shuttlepod One

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Shuttlepod One, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Shuttlepod One.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Clarence dvd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Clarence dvd.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching Re-confirmation

Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you.

[edit] IP address

Sorry to bother you, but I have a problem. I work in it.wiki daily, and sometimes I use to edit some pages (usually manga/anime related) without problems. Anyway, when I saw my edit page for the first time I notice that there were edits I didn't make. I know it's a common problem, but I got warned for things I didn't do. Now, here is my question: if I create an account will I solve this problem? I don't know a lot about IP address and technical stuff like this. I don't want to create an account if people using the same IP address as me will keep editing pages, because people will probably think that's me working offline. Thank you for your time and sorry (again) to bother you. --85.18.136.105 (talk) 20:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, creating an account will save you from receiving warnings left at a common logon IP address that were left for other anonymous users. It is worth creating an account for auditing purposes and for recognition of your contributions to the project. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

Hello, I am a good faith contributor to Wikipedia and recently I ran across a familiar face. User:Iznican was a bad faith user on two Wikia Wikis I contribute to, and he was a vandal and has since been banned indefinitely on both. Recently he came across Wikipedia and he has already started vandalizing pages by adding fan fiction to lists on Wikipedia and by making a personal attack directed at me; see this for proof, where he calls me a beaner since I was the administrator who banned him. Therefore I am just letting you know that he is bad news and is not a good user, and he should not make personal attacks, although he already has made (a racist one) towards me. Thank you for your time. --Squishy Vic discussion contributions 23:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please help me!

Hello! I added a toolbar to my userpage. It was working very good in all browsers. But, some days ago, something strange happened and now, when I view my userpage in Firefox, the toolbar's images are 500 pixels big! But, it's not all! I also use this toolbar on my talk page, and it is working very good! And here is a question: can you help me saying what I need to do, to do the toolbar work? Regards, Kubek15 (Sign!)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The_magnificent_evans_dvd.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The_magnificent_evans_dvd.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you closed the relevant AfD in December as delete. Recent events make him more notable. Can you userfy the article to my userspace so I can work on a draft that better establishes his notability? JoshuaZ (talk) 19:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi, fellow Firefox user...

...I need Firefox-related help on the Turkish Wikipedia. I wrote an article called tr:Tacik alfabesi, and the last sentence in the first paragraph looks all jumbled up when looked at using Mozilla Firefox. When using Internet Explorer, however, it looks totally fine. Is there any way that you could fix this problem, please? Thanks in advance. Runningfridgesrule (talk) 14:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
