[edit] SeaMonkey

Comparison_of_web_browsers: I suggest we remove SeaMonkey as nothing has been released yet. We should not be adding proposed projects to this site.

I believe SeaMonkey is almost certain to be released, so I decided to add it to the list. But, since there is opposition to this, I will stop adding it further. I will wait to see how the idea is accepted. --Megara 11:58, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

SeaMonkey 1.0 is now officially released. By the way, one reason people may get the mistaken idea that you're female is the fact that one of the wives of Hercules in Greek legend is named Megara, and she is the romantic interest in the Disney animated film (with a storyline greatly distorted and "Disneyfied" from the original legend). *Dan T.* 15:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes... It's actually a nickname a friend af mine at school invented... And I decided to use it in the Internet. It's actually a joke on my family name 'Mavrov' (in Bulgarian). And that about Hercules' girlfriend, well, I realised this a long time ago (and I guess i am kind of a Disney fan), so I decided to put this note on my User page. As for SeaMonkey, I like the idea of the old Mozilla application suite, because it's very useful. I downloaded version 1.0 and it was great - you get Firefox's good page rendering and a cupple of very nice tools. Let's hope they keep it like that. --Megara 10:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Nestke.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Nestke.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ue_outercase-large.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ue_outercase-large.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. MECU≈talk 22:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Swyw.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Swyw.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigrTex 18:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Netscape 7.2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Netscape 7.2.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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Littleorphanairedale3.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Littleorphanairedale3.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 14:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Hollywood Steps Out do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

[edit] Striking your vote

Hello Megara,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Turner logo 06.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Turner logo 06.jpg.
