[edit] Chris Burns (Musician)

Hiya. Don't forget to use the maintenance text as notification for the original author on their talk page. It's only fair! ;-) - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

S'okay. In case you didn't see it, the text for notifying the user is now right at the bottom of the template after you post it. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adria Circuit.svg

Hey ya SE55, did you create the image Adria_Circuit.svg from the Adria_Circuit.png one I did? If so, what did you use to convert it? Cheers  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 02:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've loaded up more than a couple of these, so I'll head back and convert them, unless you get there first. Cheers and have a great weekend.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 19:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] School shooting

Hi there, I left a message to say I was going to major edit the article. Why did you consider this as vandalism? I mean the it was one of the reasons it failed GA. LOTRrules (talk) 01:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Well I don't want to cause an edit war but it is irrelavent. I mean I did make the article - check my stats 300 approx edits to it - I wan the article to get featured status and the according to the rules lists are not allowed extensively in one article unless in specific circumstances. Please don't label my edits as vandalistic in the future - thanks. LOTRrules (talk) 01:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to remove it. Is that okay with you? LOTRrules (talk) 01:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. It's fine - just a minute mistake. Happy editing. LOTRrules (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Teddy Holland

Clearly, this requires an admin's attention ... I've started a thread at ANI. Blueboy96 19:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kosovo War

My attempts at fixing the Kosovo War article, which is over 90KB long and which is breaking encylopedic style rules and NPOV have been reverted by you. I would like you to undo the reversion so that a proper and much needed editing process on this page can continue. 87.198.21.73 (talk) 01:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I would like to stress that I am not vandalising the Kosovo War page. It is already the end result of a long bought of vandalism, POV and poor editing. I have already posted my intention to make a major edit on the Talk page. I would like to be directed to any wikipedia guide or policy pages that exist for dealing with such a page.87.198.21.73 (talk) 01:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Image:AnonymousDemotivator.jpg

{{helpme}} I would like to know about image policy, especially in relation to Image:AnonymousDemotivator.jpg. I made a comment to it's IfD page about making an SVG version of it in Inkscape, and if I would be able to release it as a free-use alternative. In fact, I'm unsure of it's current copyright notice because it's from an unknown source, and it's origin is questionable. --SyntaxError55 talk 23:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Speak to Pagrashtak (talk · contribs), who specialises in images. Thanks, PeterSymonds | talk 23:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
User:Pagrashtak hasn't made any contributions since 10 February, but I've left a note on his talk page regardless. :/ --SyntaxError55 talk 23:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
In that case, try Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, and leave a note on the talk page. If that doesn't work, we can approach the know-all Wikimedia Commons :) Best, PeterSymonds | talk 23:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
That project's talk page states "Please do not post queries on individual images here. This talk page is to discuss future WikiProject Fair use policy ONLY." I don't think anyone is really sure about how to proceed, but I'm going to try #wikipedia and #wikimedia-commons. Thanks, --SyntaxError55 talk 23:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I received help there, tnulling the helpme template. I can't do it. D: --SyntaxError55 talk 23:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Irish phonology images

Hi, thanks for converting the PNG images to SVGs. Could you make one change, though? In Image:2C cluster nonmut.svg, could you change ɕ to ʃ? The article originally used ɕ, but I later switched to ʃ, and when I did, the image stayed the same. Thanks! —Angr If you've written a quality article... 06:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Post on my talk page

Sorry I kept doing that. I am using huggle, and the warnings I gave those two people were to try to slow them down so that I could start at the beginning of their contribs and work through them and revert. You must have beat me to some of the reverts. In the future, I will revert and then warn. I did not anticipate something like this happening, and I apologize for the confusion. J.delanoygabsadds 19:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't, unless, like me, you come up with literally hundreds of brilliant-yet-stupid ideas every day... J.delanoygabsadds 19:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ВикиЗнание.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ВикиЗнание.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 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. Melesse (talk) 11:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
