[edit] Thoughtless Edits by anon

Don't worry, I don't think you're a jerk, I read the history even before I left those notices. I was just applying the kind of naivety that I think ought to be used when dealing with new users. We don't want to scare anyone away, even if their first edits are dodgy. Same principle as why we give vandals that "test" template. Keep up the good work --Mike C | talk 20:01, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: 1896 Olympics Page

Nah, it's just the normal todays featured article vandalism going on. Happens all the time. If someone is vandalising it alot you can report them on Wikipedia:vandalism in progress, but usually they're just newbies testing things out, and just reverting it is enough. Thanks.

[edit] Geoffrey Ayers Scandal

I decided that that article was a Wikipedia:Candidate for speedy deletion. However, you actually used the wrong process to vfd it- you added the argument on the deletion page for the previously listed article Liejournal, when you should have created a new page. Please see Wikipedia:Deletion policy for further information. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:24, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Whatup

Well, no secret handshake, but I'll do the Antler dance in your general direction.  :-) -- Jhortman 19:12, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Berryman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Berryman.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 08:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Just saying hello from a fellow Iowa Citian. --- Dralwik|Have a Chat My "Great Project"

[edit] WikiProject Iowa

Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in Iowa. Therefore, I was wondering if you would be interested in joining (proposed) WikiProject Iowa? If so, please add your name to "Interested Wikipedians" at Proposed WikiProject Iowa --Tim4christ17 03:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gmgilbert.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. Rettetast 12:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
