[edit] Re:Dead end pages: clearing redlinks

I will take it on my user page. (Cocoaguy ここがいい contribstalk) 21:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Outstanding! Thank you! Salad Days 21:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ANI discussion

Your swift response to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Something strange for you to consider is required, with an explanation of what is going on. Daniel 11:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I created that account and had it blocked to create mischief. Salad Days 14:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
You've been blocked indefinitely. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh Salad Days, you're such a good contributor! I wish you hadn't done that. Hopefully you will appeal in order to lighten your block. The Evil Spartan 14:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, that does seem a little severe. Salad Days 14:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you should have thought about the consequences before you did this. Sean William 14:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
The consequences apparently have no sliding scale? It's either "you're blocked," or you're not? Salad Days 14:53, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. Stupid thing to do? Yes. Indef block? No. Too far. We don't indef block valuable regulars who lose their cool once. We don't even indefblock regular vandals who do that. This is hardly a preventative block. This user probably could have become an admin if he/she had wished. The Evil Spartan 14:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree with The Evil Spartan that an indef block for a first offense is a bit unfair. Jayden54 17:30, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support. Good luck! Salad Days 19:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
The block isn't punishment, it's to protect the project. This wasn't a silly prank or a 3RR, it was a premeditated disruption of high order. He registered a username and committed deliberate vandalism with it to get it blocked. This user will probably not become an admin, not with this misstep in judgment as an indicator. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Not the first time, either... [1]. Endorse indef block. Daniel 23:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing image Image:Bulwer'sPheasant.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Bulwer'sPheasant.jpg, by Strangerer (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Bulwer'sPheasant.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Bulwer'sPheasant.jpg, 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Planning another dead-end page update?

It's been a while since the last one - "my" T section is just about empty. But more editors seem to have become active on the other pages after the N-way split, so I understand it if you want to wait a while still... --Alvestrand 08:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cool Beef

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Cool Beef, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. 172.129.222.212 12:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Battling green eye shades, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Battling green eye shades, 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.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Icehelmet.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Icehelmet.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:AnrLogo.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:AnrLogo.svg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 21:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ata island.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ata island.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 10:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
