[edit] Category:Self-contradictory articles

Hello, Daniel Pritchard. I was wondering if you would modify your user page so that it does not appear in Category:Self-contradictory articles. To do this and keep the template, replace {{Contradict}} with the following code (don't use the nowikis that you can see when editing this page, they are there so you can see the code).

<div class="messagebox disputed metadata" style="background: beige; text-align: center;"> {| width=100% style="background: transparent;" | width=33px | [[Image:Circle-contradict.png|33px]] |This article appears to '''[[Contradiction|contradict]]''' itself.<br>Please improve the article or discuss the issue on the [[:{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]]. |}</div> <noinclude>

Thanks, Kjkolb 21:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

  1. Done. I thought Subst-ing it in would do that, but I forgot to remove the "Category:..." link afterward. - Daniel Pritchard 03:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St. Hilda's

Hi Dan - I've attempted to tidy up the confusion at the St. Hilda's page by creating two disambiguation pages - one at St. Hilda's and the other at St. Hilda's College, with the second being essentially a subset of the first. This way people typing something can get a maximum amount of choice without having to see entries that definitely don't correspond to what they typed. Let me know if you disagree with this change. — SteveRwanda 17:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:American football band lp cover.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:American football band lp cover.png. 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] Striking your vote

Hello Daniel Pritchard,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:American_football_band_promo_photo_polyvinyl_records.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:American_football_band_promo_photo_polyvinyl_records.png. 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 (talk) 22:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
