J.K. Rowling

So you're not going to respond to my comment at all, but just delete it? That's a little worrisome to me. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 14:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, okay, I was a bit busy. The "Officials of the British Empire" category is just plain vandalism. I think you should delete that. The same with the "Living people" category. All the other categories - you can keep them.Ka34 14:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you not reading what I'm saying? First of all, it's Officers of the British Empire, and second, she is an OBE, so it's not vandalism for her to be in that category. Second, Category:Living people is in use to keep track of all biographical articles about living people. It's a valid category, so it's also absolutely not vandalism. I'm suprised you consider yourself too busy to address comments on your Talk page, Comments to my Talk page are one of the first things I address when I sign on. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um...I still don't get the "Officers of the British Empire" bit. Was J.K. Rowling really an Officer of the British Empire? Or is that just plain nonsense? Ka34 09:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason you refuse to believe me? I spent three weeks working on citing that article and formatting the citations for it. I double checked every bloody fact in there. Go read the article. Find the sentence that says she has an OBE. Click on the little number. Then Click on the site referenced. Officer of the British Empire is an honororary rank in the Order of the British Empire, presented by the British Monarch. Yes, she really is one. Swear to God. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 13:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I believe you. But I'm a bit unsure why the category said "Officer" of the British Empire, rather than "Order" of the British Empire Ka34 14:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Officer is the Title, Order is the organization. An Officer is one of the titles, higher ones being things like Knight and such. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 14:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HipHopDX.com

The article HipHopDX.com has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo 003.gif. 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jk23.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jk23.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. Shell ^babelfish 04:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Exodia.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Exodia.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.

Image source problem with Image:Exodia.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Exodia.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 10:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WhiteSmoke software

A tag has been placed on WhiteSmoke, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of WhiteSmoke and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Category:Lop rabbits

For every category you create, you should specify parent categories to which it belongs. You do this by listing the parents near the bottom of the page, each enclosed in double brackets like so:

[[Category:Rabbit breeds]]
[[Category:Parent2]]

Contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 01:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. Cheers, -Stepheng3 (talk) 07:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pardosa amentata, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spring and Saltmarsh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File permission problem with File:Pmb.GIF

Thanks for uploading File:Pmb.GIF, which you've attributed to http://english.pobediteli.ru/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:35, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
