Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum
Prsonally I prefer no gap between the dash and the timing (which is how it's presented on many CDs). It's not worth edit-warring over, though I'd point out that the version without the gap is pretty common in Wikipedia articles). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A revised version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom9111:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent edit to Friedrich Nietzsche was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot216:32, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there. Sorry about getting dinged by the bot. I've fixed the behavior in question, and made an edit to the page which may serve as a clue as to why the bot dinged you in the first place. If you have any other troubles, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention via tawkerbot2's talk page. Thanks for your understanding about this! joshbuddytalk17:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've restored this article per your request. I've also downgraded the speedy deletion nomination to a WP:PROD deletion nomination, generally a week long process. Please don't remove this without adding to the article and being sure that it meets the terms of WP:BAND. — xaosfluxTalk03:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You added/changed a footnote in Carmen which references "Note 3 above". This is fragile because the numbering of footnotes, particuarly in a long article, can be disturbed by adding other footnotes. In your case, before some additions I made, there was no "Note 3 above" (there is now but probably isn't what you meant). The new <ref></ref> system allows named footnotes, and they can be referenced in mutiple places beyond their initial by that name, but a suitable number, perhaps out of order, will be displayed to the reader. Modus Vivendi05:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Further to the above comment, the same footnote text can be referred to in more than 1 place in an article by giving it a name, as follows:
Initial creation
Georges Bizet wrote many operas<ref name="Carmen">His most famous is Carmen, which Bizet did not live to see become the wonderful success it is today.</ref>
Other text
Another use
The President of France awarded Bizet the Legion of Honor for his actions during the [[Franco-Prussian War]] on the same day as the premiere of his final opera<ref name="Carmen"/>
This means that in each of the two places the same footnote number will appear, even if the "Other text" creates other footnotes. There is no mechanism provided to refer to another footnote by its number, but a footnote can be referenced in more than one, place, that may accomplish most of that purpose with some adjustment of the notes themselves.
During further repair of the Carmen page, I merged Notes 3 and 6 (which were identical except for the spelling of "Georges") into one Note using the setup described above. But mostly I discovered why I was confused: there are "References" (books) and Notes (footnotes). Some of the Notes refer to the References by number, but the References also have numbers. So the footnote you repaired referred to "Note 3" but meant Reference 3 Modus Vivendi08:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any way to redirect a page to a category? There is no need to delete, i think, since a bold redirect would be useful, due to people possibly searching for the list of grime artists. If possible, it should be redirected to your proposed category? Or otherwise to the Grime article itself. Jdcooper13:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to build a consensus for a Wikiproject Peer review process. I've opened a discussion page here. Would you like to comment? Would you be prepared to take part in the peer review process? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag12:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I posted the IG Farben Building on the FAC on the 17th July. It currently has a support consensus, but only from 4 people. I'd be more comfortable with a stronger consensus and was wondering if you might be prepared to comment on the article? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag12:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
Articles related to architecture over the past two weeks are listed automatically by AlexNewArtBot.
This list was generated from these rules. Questions and feedback are always welcome! The search is being run daily with the most recent ~14 days of results. Note: Some articles may not be relevant to this project.
I am not sure what the licensing details are on such a case. I think you've done the right thing by trying it and making the post in the discussion page. Happy WP'ing! --Anthony542916:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:Skream! (album).jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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.
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SJDKNaturally.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. 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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot09:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated Pirates Records, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirates Records and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 01:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thank you for uploading Image:Merzbow-1930.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

Image copyright problem with Image:Cremaster4Satyr.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cremaster4Satyr.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
