[edit] Image:Anna Friel.jpg

Hi, thanks for uploading Image:Anna Friel.jpg but unfortunately it's not a free image so it has been deleted. The image was licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommericial-Sharealike" license. Attribution means if the image is re-used the author must be credited, "Sharealike" means that if it's re-used it must be under the same license (so others can keep using it). Those 2 are fine, but the non-commercial is the hitch. Although Wikipedia is not a commercial website, it aims to be re-usable for any purpose, even if that's commercial so we don't accept images under that license.

Also (but only in the case of this image) it appears to be a screenshot of a tv show, Pushing Daisies. This means that it is copyrighted to the producers of the show and that person on flickr is not allowed to release it under a Creative Commons license.

• On flickr, the only images that can be used for Wikipedia are those showing these (or just one of them) .
• The images that can't be used are copyrighted or show either or both of these

Thanks for taking the time to upload photos, Wikipedia needs more images, it's just a shame that more people don't freely license their work. :) James086^{Talk | Email} 13:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:MaryHarney.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MaryHarney.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 12:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning users

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may 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. Thank you. MSGJ (talk) 18:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ethanol

Hi there

Just dropping a note to say that I have responded at my talk page. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 11:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cocaine revert

Medos, thanks for paying attention. However, it seems to me that lidocaine and procaine are in fact distinct from cocaine in terms of their chemical structure and thus their naming and the class of molecules to which they belong (outlined in Template:Local anesthetics), but I'll bow to your wisdom as a pharmacy student. The explanatory link you gave me to emedicine is dead, but I believe I found the same article via google, which explains the similarity based on the amine and aromatic ends nicely. I still think some mention could be made of their chemical difference, especially for lidocaine which has different metabolism, solubility, and allergic potential. My intention with that edit was just to give an example to the lay person, and I think that has merit. Thanks again, this is a stimulating discussion.- Draeco (talk) 19:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chlordiazepoxide revert

You reverted deletion of mouse sperm toxicity at doses of 80mg/kg. This is not agreed as relevant toxicity of the substance. See talk page: Clutter. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 21:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clonazepam revert

You have reincluded a claimed relation to quinazolines, which is irrelevant to the pharmacology of the substance. It is a spurious association from being investigated together with quinazolines in the ref. You are vandalizing the article. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV pushing, heavy POV pushing

You have accused me of POV pushing, because I removed vandalism, namely inclusion of false and irrelevant citations. What would be my point of view? One citation says really something else, the other on is a rat experiment, but no agreed fact, and should not be included in an encyclopedia. 70.137.178.160 (talk) 20:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anon user

Medos, I think that you have been following the problems with the anon user from the residential unit. They started criticising my edits again and the argument has started up again. When is this person going to get banned??? You seem to know administrators. What can be done? Check out the temazepam talk page. I am cracking up with frustration.--Literaturegeek (talk) 10:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Medos, see: we resolved the dispute. I like the Chlordiazepoxide page now. Why so complicated? (The crazy anon) 70.137.138.242 (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

That's really good. I hope you don't get too bothered over the reverts I did earlier. It wasn't meant to be too personal. It's just that I wanted things to be gone over properly. Hopefully no hard feelings. How do you mean complicated? I don't quite follow. Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

complicated, because in the course I became the crazy, raving lunatic, pro-drug, psychotic, drug-impaired Anon-Stalker, suffering from sedative hypnotic abuse, causing impaired judgment. So I would have to be banned, reported, forbidden. (Lynched?) I noticed that the whole discussion is highly polarized around abuse issues. I think I had valid points to make. 70.137.163.38 (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok I hope that you're not trying to quote me in this. I've barely participated in the exchange and I've definitely not accused you of anything other than being somewhat unreasonable during it. I've never used the terms "banned, reported, forbidden lynched" in the context of this discussion. Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

No, this was a reply to Literature, above, selling me as lunatic troll. I think I had valid points to make, and I have now made them. Thank you for your contributions. 70.137.190.187 (talk) 19:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop ASAP

Pls stop installing scrollboxes on refs; they are specifically disallowed as they don't mirror or print. I'm looking for that guideline now, but please stop and reverse all of them in the meantime. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok will do. Sorry Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I think they look very cool as well, but as per Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Scrolling_lists, we can't use them. Sorry. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the dashed message, Medos; back now with more time (wanted to get them all before they spread like wildfire :-)). I think we got them all? Yes, Tim likes them, too, but they cause problems, so shouldn't be used in refs. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I haven't yet. I did quite a lot. But I'm undoing them. Won't take too long. Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Just noticed reverting from the other end. Yeah all done now. Sorry for causing chaos. Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

No chaos, and I'm sorry my message sounded alarming; I just saw how fast you were moving, and wanted to save us all the effort, so I dashed off a fast message to you before I had time to find the guideline :-)) Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

No worries. Cheers for letting me know. I can only progress if I learn from these mistakes. Medos ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
