[edit] Russia art

Hi Elvarg. I just wanted to say that I thought your solution to redirect "Russia art" to Russian culture was a excellent way to deal with nonsense. (I may steal your idea from time to time...:)Cheers. --Bookandcoffee 20:32, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

I'm not good at logo making, no. But I think a sign that implies that people should stop on a freely editable page is not the right one. Generally, I don't really see a lot of need to add to the clutter at the top of very many articles with images. They don't actually convey any more information than is already in the text. Someone else added images recently to a number of popular tags; I don't think they lasted the day. That's just my personal opinion, though. With unobtrusive logos that are well designed, you may be able to make them stick. -Splash^talk 22:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I'd be happy to help you create a few, should you desire it. My main gripe is the text is quite pixelated. Replacing it with a higher quality image would probably be better, or as Splash said, leave the templates to be as uncluttered as possible. I find the boilerplate messages ugly as-is, and don't think that adding more to them will help anything, though I wouldn't be opposed to a nicely designed image or something similar. -Mysekurity^{(have you seen this?)} 03:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox warning

Hello, Elvarg, welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've been editing in the sandbox. That's great - the sandbox is an excellent area to practice your editing skills, but the heading at the top must not be removed.

The sandbox has a special header at the top {{Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)}}, which is an important notice to new users. Please do not remove this line. Do feel free to edit and type anything below the header on the page, though!

Also, although the sandbox is a practice area, edits in the sandbox must still conform to the good behavior rules that apply to the rest of Wikipedia. That means no behavior which is offensive or irritating to the majority of Wikipedia users. No insulting comments should ever be placed in the sandbox.

By the way, this is your user talk page where any other Wikipedia user can leave you messages. Happy editing! Thanks, Georgia guy 02:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Response to what you wrote on my talk page: just do the same thing; only don't eliminate the sandbox header. Georgia guy 02:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Violation

I noticed that you had uploaded Image:Wiki5.png as GFDL. It appears to be from a LGPL source however. I have remarked it as LGPL, as it also appears unaltered. Linuxerist E/L/T 18:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vote on sidebar

I started a vote on the sidebar to come to a conclusion. Electionworld Talk? 06:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kwantlen Pong

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:KwantlenEagles.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:KwantlenEagles.gif. 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. BetacommandBot 01:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pyst

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Pyst, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] AfD nomination of Pyst

An editor has nominated Pyst, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pyst and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
