[edit] Welcome!

Hello Ric man, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some good places to get you started!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

If you have any questions, or are worried/confused about anything at all, please either visit the help desk, or leave a new message on my talk page at any time. Happy editing, good luck, and remember: Be Bold!

Hehe, sorry about that. We should really welcome everyone - so a belated welcome it is :P FireFox  T C E 13:11, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] meta-references

Don't take it as a wrist slap... there are tons of policies/guidelines, nobody can read them all before starting to edit, and nobody can guess at the right thing to do in every situation (and heck, some of the policies could be wrong and need to be changed).

I think, in this case, that the policy is largely correct... Encyclopedia pages should only directly reference things that are notable, and a handful of wikipedia editors who happen to own subarus aren't really notable. (for what it's worth, I own a WRX, so I'm not anti-subaru-owners in any way)

If you did want to keep the link around in some form, it would probably be appropriate to have it on the talk page, for what it's worth. Would that be an okay outcome? --Interiot 23:24, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm happy to help out, the cat is deleted now. For what it's worth, don't worry about asking for pages to be deleted. In the future, use {{db-author}} or {{db-owner}} as appropriate, and an admin should be along shortly to delete it. (there are a TON of things deleted every day, and especially if you're the only contributor to a page, they won't think twice about deleting it). --Interiot 01:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message

Funnily enough I actually took the tag off before reading your message; as you probably know there's so many articles started each day, and so many of them are business effectively wanting free advertising, that it does mean that unless we can see a reasonable acknowledgment of notability of the subject its usually tagged; as more articles are being created every second. But, in saying that, that's exactly what the {{hangon}} tag is for, then nothing is done until we've consulted with you. In case the speedy tag is added again (by someone else) - that's your best option. If you would like a hand in the creation, or if I can assist in any other way just say the word. Thanks for helping us build Wikipedia! - GIen 13:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe the above cryptic message relates to Callaway Cars Incorporated. I have prodded it because the article makes absolutely no assertion of notability - for all we know the company consists of one guy working under a railway arch in Bermondsey (you don't even say where the company operates). -- RHaworth 19:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia. I just noticed that you started the De La Salle College Malvern article. I am a student in year 12 there at the moment. What connection do you have with the college? Goiter McWilliostein, P. I. You can't control me! I'm a P. I.! Save Stargate SG-1! 12:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Ahhh... you must be apart of the generation of needing to be spoon-fed. Go to my user page and follow the link to my personal space. You'll find under my education section that I went to the college you mentioned. Apologies for the tone of this message... shit day at work!

[edit] Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg

Hello Ric man, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Ric man/Images gallery. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 22:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 21:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
