[edit] Somebody noticed & they cared

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		For all of your tireless and exceptional work rescuing articles and related thankless tasks of inspiring the Rescue Squad. Benjiboi 22:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

		The Surreal Barnstar
		For you efforts in enhancing the notability of four respectable editors[1] Gnan garra 11:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Recovery
		Awarded for your work on Sound Unlimited, the article at the start of its AfD had practically no sources and little information. Now it has 15 references, and a full discography section from your efforts. -Jahnx (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Exercise Robin Sage listing at ARS

Hello Fosnez. The listing at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Examples is becoming more useful as further examples are added. The only item whose entry I think could be improved is the one for Exercise Robin Sage. I know nothing about this article, but observe that Prime Example of an article that should never have been put through an AfD is not a neutral comment. (There is no rule calling for neutrality; this one just stands out from the rest, since everything else on that page is neutral). Is it possible that the Robin Sage comment could be replaced with a line that is merely informative? EdJohnston (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I think the entry looks better now. Regarding the table as a whole, I see that some items are included there which never had the {{rescue}} template put on them, for example the first two in the list: Action Medical Research and Aldermaston Soke. Was that your intention? EdJohnston (talk) 14:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC).

To clarify, this is not a complaint! I just wondered if guidance might be given as to the sorts of new issues that qualify for adding to the list. I rescue a few things here and there that seem headed for a bad end but don't usually make a list. What types of case should people be watching out for, for future list additions? EdJohnston (talk) 14:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

So that we can make this discussion more public and involve other people if they would like to join in, I have replied on the project sub talkpage.Fosnez (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstars

		The Original Barnstar
		For your hard work on the changes to Local Government articles due to the March 15, 2008 amalgamations, I hereby award you this barnstar. Bruceanthro (talk) 03:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Council naming

The old shire should be Shire of Mulgrave as that is its legal title under the Local Government Act 1993... Redcliffe, Gold Coast, Redland and Logan are the only entities in Queensland with their status as a suffix (i.e. Logan City). The Regions I'm not sure about - the naming section of the Local Government Act 1993 was simply amended by the legislation last year to add "and Region", but any references I've seen to them have also been suffixed - hence Moreton Bay Region, governed by the Moreton Bay Regional Council as one example. Hopefully gazettals will clear that up.

Re the 1995 amalgamations - ABS Queensland Year Book 1996 writeup on the amalgamations seems to regard the "new" Cities of Cairns, Mackay and Ipswich as simply being expanded old ones holding extraordinary byelections on 11 March 1995 to elect their new councils (out of step with the rest of Queensland), with the new councils coming into effect on 22 March 1995 - still not sure how that one works as it means the elections were held for an entity that didn't yet legally exist! - while other sources I've read suggested they were both abolished and a new entity created (much as has now happened with Townsville in 2008). I will be hitting the Queensland Government Gazettes at UWA next week and will see what I can figure out from them.

Apologies for any confusion, it probably reflects the state of my research at present. Naming is a matter no text dwells on, and the issues that arise when councils amalgamate and the amalgamated entity adopts the name of one of the old ones is always confusing. Orderinchaos 11:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh and my research has turned up the census population figures for every LGA in Queensland going back to 1954, with some going back to 1933, as well as UCL statistics from 1971 onwards. Obviously in some cases they need to be used with caution as the entities have changed quite a bit over time, but yeah - if you need any for any work you're doing, feel free to drop a line.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Lotus_Glen.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lotus_Glen.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

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

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 12:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SubudSymbol.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SubudSymbol.svg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. J Milburn (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Amarr logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Amarr logo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Beep industries.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Beep industries.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 00:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cairns Christian College Logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cairns Christian College Logo.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. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
