User talk:Technion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The redirect/official-name thing has been under discussion on VT's Talk page since shortly after the shootings unleashed chaos upon Wikipedia's VT-related pages. It looks like someone decided to be overly-bold and make an end-run around the consensus issue. Feel free to say your piece on the Talk page, and thanks for helping hold the line until consensus is reached. --Dynaflow 01:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, one more thing. Make sure not to run afoul of WP:3RR. I did accidentally when I was helping fight off the orgy of vandalism a couple of days ago on the VT-related pages, and I had to write an apologia the size of a small legal brief to argue for my editing privileges back. --Dynaflow 01:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again for helping keep the page where it belongs. I think it would be better, though to keep the "main article" template in place. The big reason it's there in a jump-out-at-you kind of way is to show editors who are just itching to make some sort of contribution to the VT massacre issue that there's a whole article on the massacre, and they don't need to make it any more prominent on VT's main page than it already is. It's a temporary solution, of course. Once emotions simmer down, I'd like to take the massacre down to one sentence, with an in-sentence link to the massacre article, à la École Polytechnique de Montréal. --Dynaflow 03:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pansy Division 2003 Promo.jpg

Hello Technion, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Pansy Division 2003 Promo.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Technion. 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 readd 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 04:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted images on userboxes

A non-free image was recently removed from one or more of your userboxes. Please be advised that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Wikipedia policy does not allow templates (which includes userboxes) or user pages to contain any copyrighted content not under free license; so, for example, "fair use" images are explicitly forbidden. This clause is to be interpreted strictly and without exception, for legal reasons. You can research Wikipedia's fair use policy guidelines for more details.

I hope this does not discourage you from creating more userboxes, your contributions to Wikipedia are greatly appreciated. For images and other media that are freely available for use in userpages and userboxes, check out Wikimedia Commons. Thank you. ShadowHalo 09:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mac OS X Tiger.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mac OS X Tiger.png. 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 14:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
