Heads up

Just don't want you to miss this proposal. Cheers, Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 23:50, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Ads misfiring?

Hiya. I've traditionally used {{Wikipedia ad exists|2|collapsed=no}} to give your add for Edit Summaries.

Now, however, it seems to produce a random ad:

Wikipedia ads	file info – #2

I don't understand how these things work. Could you shed any light? Thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 10:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) This should be working again now. I have asked Mabdul to fix the edits they made, as they were causing this brokenness; in the meantime I have reverted them. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:43, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing my horrendous typo! What is it with me and my keyboard today? Hekerui (talk) 00:35, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Please avoid watermarked pictures

File:RoseMcGowan2011.jpg

Well I wouldn't know how to remove that watermark but I know that you can do it using external software, perhaps you could help me or know other user that could do it??? I would really appreciate it RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

There are tools called "inpainting" that can be used to remove watermarks. _→AzaToth 22:28, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes I've heard about inpainting before, but the thing is I don't know how to use it. Don't you know anyone that could help me?? in commons perhaps??--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps maybe even cropping the image???--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 22:32, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

If the file gets used, it's possible someone else will come around and do it. It's not an emergecy, I just tagged it and notify you (sometimes the uploader might want and is able to do it) _→AzaToth 22:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh then I guess there won't be a problem if i upload it to the Rose McGowan article then?--RiskayTheDramaQueen (talk) 23:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. It was only a friendly notification. nothing that makes it unusable (the watermark is rather small so it doesn't disrupt the image too much) _→AzaToth 23:03, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:100px black.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

AFD notices again

I noticed (1 and 2) that these still weren't working for 2nd nominations. I've copied exactly the same markup parameters that are in the standard {{AfD-notice}}, and hoping it works. If not, I don't know what to do. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 01:11, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
