[edit] Rail History

Not a fait accompli and now reversed. I can see a case either way.--Grahamec 08:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Heh, I made a series of rapid fire edits and didn't even notice. Grant65 | Talk 07:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] April 2007

Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you made to Fairy tale}}. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, Funpika 23:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Railpage and DOTARS

Federal and State government departments have used Railpage as a source before. Most notably, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau has used some accident images from the gallery taken by railfans who were on the scene long before accident investigators. It has also been used as a secondary source by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Dbromage 02:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, David. I had a suspicion in the back of mind that this was the case, but wasn't completely sure. In any case, I think the Gheringhap loop report is definitely significant enough to be noted in the article. Johnmc 02:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

I'll reduce it to semi and see what happens. Gnangarra 11:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:1982 Commonwealth Games logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:1982 Commonwealth Games 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.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

[edit] Thank You

Dear John Mc Thank you so much for adding the rationalé for the Image:Mortyrgame.jpg Much appreciated. --Cyril Thomas (talk) 00:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
