[edit] Welcome

Hi Windsok. Thanks for your comments and advice on screenshots. I'm afraid I'm the "so long as it works" school-of-thought when it comes to the more complex nature of software (and, I suppose, technology at large). Anyways, noticing that your new to the 'Pedia, I thought I'd give you a welcome and let you know about the Australian community here. You should be sure to check out Australian resources, like The Australia Wikiportal, Australian Wikipedians' Notice Board, Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight, New Australian Articles and Australian stub articles. By the way, I've added you to the Wikipedians in New South Wales category (a sub-category of Australian Wikipedians). I hope you don't mind. Again, welcome and happy editing.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 12:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Myth Units Section Poll

Hello! I noticed that you have contributed to discussion on the talk page for Myth (computer game). A poll for paring down the Units section has started, and I thought you might want to vote. Please accept my apologies if this does not interest you. Thank you! Argyrios 15:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tennis pictures

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your great pictures. I uploaded them in Commons ([1]). That's exactly the same licence and rights for you and it allows wikis in other languages to use these pictures. I hope that's fine for you. Best. Poppypetty 20:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem :) I have a whole heap of other tennis images that I have been meaning to upload, I guess I should upload them directly to commons, rather than to en.wikpedia? --Windsok 07:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that would be really great. Commons is pretty easy. You just have to create an account (it's as easy as in the wiki en) and to make sure that you own that you put a free licence on them (you can only upload your own works/pictures). Thanks again. Poppypetty 15:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I saw that you had given 216.214.100.185 a final warning against vandalism, but this user has gone on to "edit" several more times. I just thought I'd let you know that I caught it AGAIN today. I don't know if there's anything you can do about it, but I saw that warning and thought that perhaps you had some authority...?? Davi 15:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)AlmightyDavi, 10:34 AM CDT, 2 October 2006

Hi. Any user, admin or not can warn a user against vandalism. See Wikipedia:Vandalism for details on wikipedia's vandalism policy. Once a user has been warned enough times, you can place them on the Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism page, and they will be dealt with by an administrator. --Windsok 15:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tennis again

Just wanted to give you some more props for awesome tennis photos. :) What a shame you're not down in Melbourne now! cheers, pfctdayelise (talk) 11:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually I went to the Sydney tennis again this year, and the photos are much better than last years, jsut got to get around to processing them and uploading them. Cheers :) --Windsok 00:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Cool! Can't wait to see them. Hope you plan to upload them to commons:? --pfctdayelise (talk) 05:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I will get around to it eventually, I added one today: Li Na --Windsok 09:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice! Wow, she has some seriously killer muscles!! :o --pfctdayelise (talk) 10:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Noticed the new picture on Li Na's pages was your work, and checked out your pictures of Henin and others. Wow, those pictures are amazing! We need pictures of every player courtesy of you. Keep up the good work. Captain Courageous 03:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Fairuz_Fauzy.jpg listed for deletion

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Nelson_Angelo_Piquet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nelson_Angelo_Piquet.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 22:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lp record album.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lp record album.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wollongong FC

Please do not do what you did to Wollongong Wolves, i.e. redirecting to a new article. If an article needs renaming, you can move it using the move tab at the top of the page. Cut and paste moves mean that a complicated page history merge needs to be done. Thanks, пﮟოьεԻ 57 20:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought there must be a function like that, but i could not find it, silly me. --Windsok (talk) 06:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
