Unspecified source for Image:Secret-scouts.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Secret-scouts.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 04:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added source information to all the images I uploaded recently for the Dinosaucers article. Please let me know if any further action is required. Cheers. GreyWyvern 13:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:PlanetWerks2-Promotional-Screenshot.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Screenshot2.jpg. The copy called Image:Screenshot2.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account.

Yup, no problem to delete it. Just forgot to change the target filename box this time around. GreyWyvern (talk) 15:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IE8 Acid2 - Pass/Fail?

Hi Rtd, my edit in the section for IE8 has nothing to do with the controversy surrounding whether or not IE8 will display sites in standards mode by default, which is what Acid2 requires. The simple fact is, even in standards mode, the IE8 example videos show that IE8's development UI still displays a scroll bar which means it fails the test regardless.

So to clarify, IE8 currently fails Acid2 in both situations. Thus it is wrong for the article to state that "an internal debug build of IE8 passes the Acid2 test in IE8 standards mode" since it clearly does not. See the screencap at [1]. Hope you understand and revert to my previous version. GreyWyvern (talk) 19:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took another look at http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/acid/ and saw:

Note, however, that their video evidence shows a scrollbar, which means it actually fails the test. However, that seems to be a development environment UI, not the normal IE UI. As a result it may show a fail while the main IE 8 UI will pass. It is not possible to say without seeing a real IE 8 UI.

So, it's really just speculation at this point. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 20:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then if it is all just speculation, why does it say explicitly that IE8 passes? It should really say that the developers claim it passes, because there are reliable sources (the video) which cast doubt on the assertion that it passes. Is there a third party, non-MS source which says IE8 passes? GreyWyvern (talk) 20:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:Rick-green.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Rick-green.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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 [[ Talk:Image:Rick-green.jpg|the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Gary King (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Air To Water Generator vandalime

Grey, you are abusing and distorting wikipedia rules. The rule you refer to (Wikipedia:RSUE) only states that "English-language sources are preferable to sources in other languages so that readers can easily verify the content of the article. However, sources in other languages are acceptable where an English equivalent is not available.". You have no ground to remove this edit, and each time you try yet another trick. I'm escalating this now fo formal dispute resolution.--Luttinger (talk) 15:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)--Luttinger (talk) 15:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Link to escalation:[2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luttinger (talk • contribs) 19:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please take another look at this. Thank you!

Please take another look at this. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Politics, Religion and Her (song). Politics, Religion and Her (song) was a significant "single" for this artist's career (Sammy Kershaw), not just a charted song. It seems extremely restrictive of wiki content to allow TenPoundHammer's nom of the article's deletion to happen. There is sufficient reason also to make the distinction here between single and album anyway. The album was titled after the hit single. Please take another look. I think my reasons are valid. Thank you very much!Wikibones (talk) 17:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
