Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cheetahgirls1.PNG)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheetahgirls1.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 19:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

An image that you uploaded, Image:Alexavega1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Hi, Alex43223. Is that really true that you took this picture and WiredImage used it without your concent? Do you plan any legal action? Best regards, --Abu Badali 13:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Christina-ricci-1.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 21:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Problem

Your continued uploading of images with false information, particularly false licenses, after numerous warnings has been brought up on the admin noticeboard. Wikipedia takes image copyright and fair-use violations very seriously and we are concerned that you seem to be placing deliberately false licenses on the images you upload. Now, I'm not saying you are doing so maliciously and we certainly hope you aren't. But please be much more careful in the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. --Yamla 21:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Matt-lawrence.jpg

If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Fair use rationale for Image:072406111853 vcsboxart.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:072406111853 vcsboxart.jpg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

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 fair use images 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. Yamla 14:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:FullHouse dylan&blake-Tuomy-Wilhoit1.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:FullHouse dylan&blake-Tuomy-Wilhoit1.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

May I ask why you deleted my contribution to will montgomery's page? Everything I included in my contribution came straight from the horse's mouth. Now, I am assuming you do not know Mr. Montgomery, so why do you take it upon yourself to correct such information?

Your warning to User:71.149.129.56

Hi! I just wanted to say, your warning to User:71.149.129.56 was, in my opinion, a bit severe. Please remember not to bite the newbies. For an anon IP with only one edit, to Cascading Style Sheets, which simply looked like a test, a {{subst:test0}} would have been suffice. Please respond on my talk page. Cheers! Yuser31415 04:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I recieved your message. Thank you for responding! As the message does not warn about being blocked, it is OK. Cheers! Yuser31415 02:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Alex, I would like to thank you very much for awarding me my first barnster. I look forward to displaying it on my userpage. I hope sometime I may give you one. TeckWizTalkContribs@ 12:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for voting

I appreciate the feedback that I received during the RfA process. Unfortunately, I withdrew my candidacy. However, your participation is appreciated. I have made my New Years Resolution (effective immediately) to attempt to vote on at least 50 WP:XFD/week (on at least 5 different days), to spend 5 hours/week on WP:NPP, to be active in WikiProjects and to change the emphasis of my watchlist from editorial oversight to vandalism prevention. I have replaced several links that I had on my list to some that I think are more highly vandalized (Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, my congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., my senator Barrack Obama and Jesse Jackson). My first day under my newly turned leaf was about what I hope a typical day to be. I quickly found a vandal, made a few editorial changes to Donald Trump, voted at WP:CFD and WP:AFD, continued attempted revitalization of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago and proposed a new stub type as a result of WP:NPP patrol. I hope this will broaden my wikipedia experience in a way that makes me a better administrator candidate. I hope to feel more ready to be an admin in another 3000 or so edits.

Thank you so much, Alex43223, for your gracious support in my RfA (48/1/0)! I am very happy that you trust me with this great honor and privilege.

Yao's RfA

Hi. I'm rather annoyed by what I consider Wikibuttinskyism on your part, but if you're willing to remove your comment to me, I'm willing to pare back my oppose rationale to simply:

The bot thing disturbs me, especially when the bot incident constitutes 40-some% of Yao's edits. Additionally, I'm not entirely comfortable with the answers to Q#6-8.

Regards, Tomertalk 00:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I've completely excised the rest of my comments, as they have little bearing specifically on Yao's RfA. Simply striking your comments out would leave them still visible, but devoid of context, so removing them entirely seems me the more reasonable choice. The decision is ultimately up to you, however. Cheers, Tomertalk 00:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Ya, you too, and a good new year. Ciao and Cheers, Tomertalk 00:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support

Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 20:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Assistance with edits

I am very new to Wikipedia, and while I may be able to help with some content changes I may completely mess up formatting. Would it be possible to somehow add pages I edit to a list of pages to be checked for formatting? SanitySolipsism 05:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Your vandalproof application

Hey I'm sure you've noticed the recent bout of server problems. I approved your application to use VP but the server errors may have interfered with the registration of your username. Give it a try and let me know if I need to approve you again. --frothT C 05:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Emma Watson

The wording in the disambiguation statement at the top of the page was written in such a way to dispel concerns stemming from IMDb's listing of several different people named Emma Watson, including another actress. [1] Similarly, a comment also exists near the first line of the page stating: "<!-- EDITORS: DO NOT add "II", it is a common Internet mistake. -->," which references the IMDb's own naming convention for the Harry Potter actress, Emma Watson. --Kevin Walter 03:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship

Thanks for contributing to my RfA! Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. With any luck my knowledge of the wider goals of Wikimedia and my experience on Commons will make me stronger as an admin here. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a user looking to Adopt with the Adopt-a-User program, there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention, as well as request help with the backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

You should know that the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Once adoption is complete please use the templates found here on the Adoptee's and your user page.

Also numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Furthermore a new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you have and if you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

So I hope you get adopting soon - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 15:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption!

Can you please adopt me? I'm not completely new, I have made minor changes to articles before. Btw, i'm generally on in sporadic bursts between 7AM and 12PM AEDT.

Getting started

I'd love to get started! Probably should start on my userpage first.

Cleverdan204 21:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, first of all, how do i get a link to say one thing, but go to another? Like in some articles it says America but links to the United States, and how do i line up userboxes?

How do I indent on talkpages, like you did on mine ... with the dotpoints? Cleverdan204 22:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

As you set out for Ithaka, hope the voyage is long
Knowledge is your destiny, but don't ever hurry the journey
May there be many summer mornings when
With what pleasure and joy, you come into harbors seen for the first time

Don't expect Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey
And, if I, one of your fellow-travellers, can offer something
To make this journey of yours even more fascinating and enjoyable
This is my assistance with anything I can help.
