Replaceable fair use Image:Behringer Truth 3031A.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Behringer Truth 3031A.png. 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. Polly (Parrot) 19:58, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Behringer Truth 3031A.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Behringer Truth 3031A.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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 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. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exemption

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Fred Talk 02:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Loud speaker manufacturer

In all cases where I changed the country, it was based on what either their website or Wikipedia article said they were. I can't remember which is which now, but one article started "XXX is a UK speaker manufacturer" (or words to that effect) so I changed the list to match. If I was wrong with any of them, feel free to revert as I have no knowledge about the subject - I just saw a huge number of links to dab pages and wrong articles (e.g. Oxford linked to the article about the English city.

File:Behringer Truth 3031A.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Behringer Truth 3031A.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Bare URLs

Thank you for adding sources to Sonic Core. When citing on-line sources, please give the fullest description possible of the source including the name of the author, name of the page, work in which it is included, etc. if they are available, as well as the URL. Pages on the World Wide Web may move or cease to appear. By including as much information as possible, the reference may remain valuable even if the page is moved. For more information see Wikipedia:Linkrot and Wikipedia:Citing sources#Preventing and repairing dead links. Thanks again for your edits, Cnilep (talk) 15:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, do not think I will bother cleaning this up, feel free to do it yourself. This, and most of what I have done on Wikipedia seems to be a complete waste of time, there are more deletes and "clarifications" than there are additions, the notability bullshit has gone out of hand and I blame people like you for that, BLPs are written by the persons themselves and when politics are starting to enter every edit made, even with such ridiculously non-political subjects as studio monitors and tape recorders this is beginning to be hopeless and the value of the site is starting to transcend from positive into the negative. Best keep this paragraph the last thing I do on this site and leave the updating to monolingual idiots that neither understand the subjects at hand nor have any interest in keeping things balanced. reiknir (talk) 16:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Behringer Truth series

An editor has nominated Behringer Truth series, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL B1520 PRO and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you.

OsFree

Hi,

I just found OsFree on the dutch wikipedia and I wanted to have some interwiki's. I've googled and I found this: User:Reiknir/OsFree When will you publish it?

Kind regards,

Never, a large bulk of my contributions to Wikipedia have been deleted for "notability" reasons, both using this handle and an older one that I used until I lost the password (hah!), there is no point in contributing to a site where even programming languages and musical gear gets treated as political material. At the same time I have managed to find articles that are entirely made up, almost completely factually incorrect and pure (often incoherent) PR written by people about themselves but have not managed to get even one of these removed, funny really ............ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.73.72 (talk) 07:55, 5 September 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.
