Orphaned non-free media (File:Someone_Somewhere_In_Summertime.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Someone_Somewhere_In_Summertime.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:51, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Someone Somewhere In Summertime, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Single and Peter Walsh (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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Journal for Plague Lovers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mojo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Just so you know, when you expand an article fivefold in word count of prose, you can nominate it at Template talk:Did you know. I have done it for Sparkle in the Rain. These are cycled through the main page. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:36, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good Articles

[edit]

One thing worth noting is that Good articles and Featured Articles serve as de facto stable revisions and are good as they can be compared with current versions of articles if they have eroded over time through vandalism or poor edits. When you've added everything you can think of to an article, you can check if it might fulfil Good Article criteria and then nominate it at Wikipedia:Good article nominations, where someone will review it and pass or fail it. I figured Sparkle in the Rain looks pretty comprehensive. Though a fan of Simple Minds, I have no books so would be hard pressed to change the article if asked to on a review.

Thanks for your kind comments. I'll complete the recording section soon hopefully, maybe clear up that 1st section too. If you're interested, the book I got off Amazon for about seven pounds (£7) by Adam Sweeting goes from their Life in a Day era to having completed Once Upon a Time. Don't know if there are any publications that extend past that. Laydsb (talk) 02:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Aah ok, well I'll keep an eye on it - once done I'll show you how the GA process works....Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.
