[edit]Architecture photos
[edit]Thanks for your photos of brutalist architecture! I'm glad to see other Wikipedians interested in architecture. I've been working on Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board/Articles needing images which may interest you. Interesting buildings needing a photo include the Isokon building and 2 Willow Road.

Venus Pages
[edit]Hi, yes this is Don P Mitchell. Not sure if this is where I reply to your question, I just sort of grok how to edit Wikipedia pages. I'm writing a book now on the Soviet Exploration of Venus.
- hehe, I got an irate note yesterday from someone who deleted the page you created. Evidently they thought I had created it as a vanity page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DonPMitchell). The only problem with this is that all the photo credits and other links to my work now point to a blank page. I guess it is a complex question about pages on living people.

Pan Am Flight 103
[edit]Thanks for your suggestion to merge the "Investigation" article with the main article Pan Am Flight 103. On the latter's talk page, there's a lot of heat about the length of the article. It was agreed to split the main article into three subarticles: "Trial", "Alternative theories" and "Investigation". The first two subarticles have been (more or less) completed. The third is in the process of being completed. I'm sure, on the strength of my foregoing explanation, you do not really want to re-merge the "Investigation" subarticle with the main article! So, I've taken the liberty of removing the template from the sub. Hope that's OK with youPhase1 23:29, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Dunno how you managed to move the text of the "mother" article to the "Investigation" article, but bloody well done! If I knew how to award you a Barnstar (or similar), I'd do it. You've saved me a lot of transcribing, and your precis isn't bad either!Phase1 18:35, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks... just a lot of cuttin'-and-pastin' :D Keithlard 18:38, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Another SPATRA
[edit]Keep in mind that we now have CSD A8, which is speedy for copyvios. All of these articles are copyvios and could have been tagged as such. Please don't hesitate to add a copyvio and speedy tag for articles that are in violation, it's much easier and faster than full AfD. Even if something is already on AfD, we can get rid of it that much faster if you go ahead and speedy it. Thanks for the vigilance, keep up the good work.

Yet another SPATRA
[edit]Image galleries
[edit]You have in the past commented on Image Galleries nominated for deletion. Most galleries are nominated because the nominators feels that galleries violate WP:NOT. The William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery has been nominated for deletion (here). A proposal to modify WP:NOT is here. Please join either or both conversations and comment as you see fit.

Cromwell, Lauderdale and Shakespeare towers
[edit]Hi, Just to let you know, I've merged these into the overall Barbican Estate article, this had already been suggested (without reply) by an other user, over a year ago. There is little substantive information on the towers that is not in the estate article. I hope this is not contentious. Kbthompson 17:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
London Meetup - January 12, 2008

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London
[edit]
Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008
Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map
More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12
Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,
James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!
Fair use rationale for File:PA103_graphic_1.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PA103_graphic_1.gif. 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 ensure 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 20:44, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:PA103 graphic 2.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:PA103 graphic 2.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 17:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Poplarbridge.jpg
[edit]File:Poplarbridge.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Poplarbridge.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Poplarbridge.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 17:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
London Wikimedia Fundraiser
[edit]Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.
Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
