[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:XOF.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:XOF.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 00:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Guardium

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Guardium, by DarkAudit, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Guardium is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Guardium, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Guardium itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oil pages

Just wanted to let you know that I'm having some connectivity issues this week, and dig in again on the oil page changes that you're interested in when I surface again. Waitak 13:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

-->OK, I'll hold off on uploading the changes unto the main wikipedia articles untill you get back.

--> I'm sorry but due to the long delay (almost 3/4 of a month have already passed), I already altered the oil pages. I'm sorry if I'm unpatient but I can no longer let those that may benefit from this (Penan) wait any longer. Perhaps silly because my post wont make that much difference but still, even if it accounts for just something i can no longer hold off.

[edit] Talk:Bash

Hello. I just want to verify that this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABash&diff=156686174&oldid=138015246 by 81.246.161.84, signed KVDP, is by you? --82.182.37.3 (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC) -->indeed it is.

[edit] Ecovillages, Eco municipalities, Sustainable neighbourhoods...

Hey KVDP, I appreciate your initiative in getting some discussion going about these various terms. However, I was dismayed to see that you had already begun to make some of the moves:" Eco municipalities" and "Ecovillage" --> "Sustainable neighbourhood." I note the following:

  • The terms "Ecovillage" and "Eco-municipality" are both very well-defined terms, whereas "Sustainable neighbourhood" is not.
  • There are ecovillages now on all continents and a Global Ecovillage Network[1].
  • "Ecovillage" gets 287,000 Google hits; sustainable neighbourhood only 9,500.

Thus, I've restored the "Ecovillage" article and have undone your redirect of "Eco municipalities." The discussion at Talk:Sustainable city is an interesting one, and clearly we need to rationalize what we are going to do with "Eco municipalities," "Eco-town," "Ecopolis" and "Eco-city." Let's not forget that editorial decisions are made by consensus. Sunray (talk) 01:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Longevity Diet

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Longevity Diet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of The Longevity Diet. Gwernol 09:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

As noted, you have 5 days to improve the article. This should be enough time to provide independent, published sources and to rewrite the text to avoid it sounding like an advert for this particular diet. Best, Gwernol 09:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
