[edit] 195.92.109.20

Whether he is a vandal or not, editing once every week is not a cause for blocking, and it very well may be a dynamic (changing) IP. —Mets501 (talk) 00:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real estate broker versus Estate agent

I've posted rationale for NOT merging these articles. Please take a look. Vivaverdi 15:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jill Dando

I saw the article history and read the discussion and decided to put the small piece in as the intro to the programme went over the ground that was in the article. Also, before advising people to do things it may be a good idea to see if they have a history on here before talking down to them. (Pally01 20:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC))

  • Whilst I agree that it is better not to edit articles etc. I felt that there not being any mention at all of the programme in the article as lacking a fundamental update to the Jill Dando murder, especially as more people would watch this programme than read the Independent on Sunday. I would have put something in the discussion page but obviously your typing skills are better than mine. As for the compromise, I agree but there needs to be something that doesn't make it sound, how can I put it, tabloidesque? (Pally01 21:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC))
  • Thanks for your note. I don't know of any wiki source on the English versus British identity question. I suspect there isn't one as it's too detailed. Things seemed to have calmed down a bit now. Nunquam Dormio 18:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Julian Brazier

I know you didn't intend to do this, but when you reverted Julian Brazier on 3 January, you also removed some edits which placed him in correct categories which had been renamed, and also those placing him in the categories of MPs by Parliament. These categories are used so that we can make sure we have articles on every MP. Sam Blacketer 19:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandals

I appreciate your annoyance with vandals, but please refrain from making personal insults on their talk page. It is better to add more standard warnings, for example {{Subst:Bv}} -- ~~~~ puts Template:Bv on a user's page. For particularly bad repeat cases, you can alert an admin if a vandal needs to be blocked. See Wikipedia:Vandalism for more tips on dealing with problem users.

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Jill dando.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] Commercial use of Image:British people.JPG

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:British people.JPG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:British people.JPG is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:British people.JPG itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blair

good catch on the him always being Rt. Hon. Whenever something like this happens, some Wikipedians are too quick to jump the gun. Have you heard anything about when he will officially take the Hundreds? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 17:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for your hard work on such a busy day. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 23:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

After reading your comment on the talk page of Serbia, here is a map that shows Serbia with Kosovo but with a different lighter color Image:Serbia with Kosovo version3.png. Hobartimus (talk) 16:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Pristina has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

[edit] Questions on Kosovo

I'm a journalist considering doing a story on Wikipedians who keep an eye on contentious pages. I saw that you were pretty involved in the page on Kosovo during the declaration of independence on Feb. 17. I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk to me a little bit about some of the challenges of working on such pages. Thanks very much! --Matt 15:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I guess. How would you like to do this? Abc30 (talk) 16:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
