License tagging for Image:David Cauldron.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:David Cauldron.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Global Network for Forecasting Earthquakes

Hi IS,

If you have time, could you take a look at the Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes article. I've raised concerns about notability and conflict of interest on the talk page and even took it to AfD, where the vote was to keep. Maybe it's just me, I'd appreciate a second opinion. Cheers, Mikenorton (talk) 15:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. First I'd heard of this group. Probably similar in scientific acceptability to the VAN method (also linked under Earthquake_prediction), which is often heavily self-publicised. ( I note though that the VAN method wiki page is balanced and I believe reflects the consensus view ). Stephen (talk) 21:52, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Stephen, if the GNFE article was similar to the VAN method page, I wouldn't see a problem. Cheers, Mikenorton (talk) 23:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
