[edit] Checkin comment...

"sure, this image isn't as good as the promo one, but its Free, and isn't that more important?"

No. Free crap is still crap. The replaced image is free use, so there's no reason not not use it. There's a reason we have free use, and this is a perfect example.

Ha! I didn't say, or even imply, that the image in question is crap. If you have a more cogent argument to use this image other than "its free", I'm all ears. Maury 19:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:IPhone-docked-WP.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:IPhone-docked-WP.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Sony Ericsson S710

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sony Ericsson S710, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sony Ericsson S710 is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sony Ericsson S710, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot 15:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boeing 767

I don't get your edit here. The main link is not a redirect, and links directly to an article that has been there for a while now. Perhaps you ment to delete another "main" tag, but tha tweren't it! The sections before and after this one are direct links too, so I can't figure out what link you may have menat was a redirect. Please be more careful next time. You've been around just a few more days than I have, so I am assuming good faith here on your part. Btw, unless the main link was a circular redirect back to the article itself, it's best just to link to the direct artcle, and not delete the whole "main" tag. - BillCJ (talk) 21:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] OSx86 spammer

FYI - It appears the OSx86 spammer has moved on to vandalize your Golden Bear edits.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.5.126.130 (talk) 14:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afd

I do it because:

  1. I love to spit on other editors' contributions (ptui! ptui!), or
  2. It's a requirement to advance to the next level of the WP:CABAL (but you didn't hear that from me), or
  3. I want Wikipedia to be the best it can be.

I'll let you figure out which one's my true motivation. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia has criteria, otherwise we'd have articles like List of objects or List of things (I don't remember the exact title, but one of those two was Afd'd not too long ago). Yours evidently didn't satisfy them, in the opinion of others, not just myself. Sometimes more is more, but sometimes it's less. That's my philosophy, more or less.
