User talk:NickMartin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I noticed that you gave a final warning to User talk:71.229.177.35, although this IP only made one vandalous edit today. Final warnings are only normally given after repeat violations and disregarding prior warnings. There's also a first and only warning that is usually issued for single particularly egregious instances of vandalism. --BrokenSphereMsg me 20:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I think you're doing a great job. If the vandalism is severe enough, a final warning should be issued post haste and summarily dealt with. No need to fret over details not even the vandals care about. (jarbarf) (talk) 21:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
By the way, which monitoring tools do you use these days? I'm seeing a lot of new things on my watchlist and think its probably time to upgrade. (jarbarf) (talk) 21:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AIV reports

As a reminder, use the {{IPVandal}} and not the {{VandalIP}} template when reporting IP vandals to WP:AIV. There is a huge difference in how the templates display; the former is the one approrpiate for AIV reports. —C.Fred (talk) 07:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Please read the above...;) Dreadstar † 07:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Bathroomtvmirror.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bathroomtvmirror.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. J Milburn (talk) 17:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Laptoptvmirror.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 20:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
