[edit] ABBA categorisation

Hi Eric

I removed the ABBA article from Category:Eurovision contestants, as this is the parent category of Category:Eurovision winners, the category you created today. Please note that if an article is placed within a category, it shouldn't also be in the parent category of that subcategory. Regards, CLW 15:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Draumur um Nínu

Hi, I think we shouldn't add song lyrics to wp articles, there might be problems with the associated intellectual properties. Peter S. 14:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision

Hello, mate, I see that you are interested in Eurovision. Would you like to be involved in connecting with more eurovision wikipedians to do up the eurovision pages in a more coherent manner? I have come across the Eurovision wikiproject page, which seems to have been dormant for over two years. It may be an idea to have a look there and see how we could improve the eurovision coverage. I have done up the Congratulations (Eurovision) page so far and put notes about it on the pages of those who performed there. Best regards from Australia, Blnguyen 23:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

Hi Eric, you should probably put something on your userpage (just some bits about what you contribute to wikipedia, etc)so that it isn't redlinked because otherwise other users will immediately suspect you of either being an unreliable newbie or a vandal. Regards and keep up the good work, Blnguyen 03:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 12% for major edits and 1% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 15:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello how are you

Hello Eric, you haven't edited for a while, are you ok?? Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No personal attacks

Please explain the "You are not clever in your head. Definitely!" on my talk page and read WP:NPA. Esteffect 10:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your edits of articles about Eurovision Song Contest related artists

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors. You may also be interested in reading The five pillars of Wikipedia, our Help pages, the Tutorial, the policy on citing sources, and our Manual of Style.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] WikiProject Cocktails

Hello. As a professional bartender (at least according to the userbox you added) you might be interested in the WikiProject Cocktails. It is a group of people at Wikipedia working together to improve the quality of information related to mixed drinks. Having more people participate who really know the topic from a professional point of view would be terrific. Please consider becoming an active Participant. Also, if you are interested, a name change is being considered for the WikiProject from Cocktails to Mixed Drinks, and you can add your opinions to the discussion and vote. I hope to see you around. --Willscrlt (Talk|Cntrb) 04:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello.

First, of all, thanks for contacting me on my talk page. Second of all, checking my contributions, I do note a revert on a Grand Prix article, but I didn't notice your username anywhere. Second, I don't appreciate your language on my talk page. You don't have to be an a$$, you can talk to me in at least a fair tone. Kids read Wikipedia, and while it's not censored, language like that is NOT needed to show your point. Please read up on WP:CIVIL. Finally, whatever your problem is, please be a little clearer on my talk page as to what it is that you mean. Cheers! Alex43223 Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C 14:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I also recommend reading up on the English Language.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:TrineRein&Sturla.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TrineRein&Sturla.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] Image:Nannepressphoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nannepressphoto.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —Angr 21:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian republicanism

Hello Eric,

I see that you are Norwegian and oppose monarchy. I edit Res Publica, an international anti-monarchy Web directory and wonder whether I've missed any republican resources for Norway.

Would you please have a look and share your thoughts?

Thank you.
