RE:Ashbya gossypii Layout

Hi Spitfire, I'd like to help you out, but I cant until you more specifically indicate which part of the formatting you want fixed. When you tell me that, I should be able to help. Oh, and by the way -- sorry for the slow reply. Yours, -- Anonymous Dissident ^Talk -- (dated 09:43, 19 June 2007 UTC)

Take a look at the article now. I think I have fixed your main concern, but I would be ahppy to fix the general layout more if you would like me to. Regards, -- Anonymous Dissident ^Talk -- (dated 12:13, 19 June 2007 UTC)

Thank you so much for the award - it is much appreciated! -- Anonymous Dissident ^Talk -- (dated 06:13, 22 June 2007 UTC)

Synchronize It!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Synchronize It!, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.grigsoft.com/wndsync.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Synchronize It!

A tag has been placed on Synchronize It!, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Septins

Hi Spitfire, I see you re-added a image that was deleted on this article. I have put it in hidden text as there was no file available and it shows up as a red link. The acceptance of images on here is quite high and it is important to have the correct licensing to avoid any copyright issues. If it is your own image you might like to upload it again and add a license to it. I did not see it before it was deleted and can not see it now so can't be much help to you in describing what went wrong. I will try to help if you wish to upload it again, but I do struggle with this myself. However, I know some editors who specialise, or at least know a lot more, about this and most are willing to help. Cheers AIRcorn (talk) 21:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC) [reply]

File permission problem with File:S cerevisiae septins.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:S cerevisiae septins.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Masur (talk) 08:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BTW - I informed the file uploader on Commons about this file and deleted it when I hadn't got any reply. Uploader is responsible to clearly describe his files according to Commons rules. Masur (talk) 08:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am not sure where to add my approval or what to add. On Commons, it specifies me as author in the summary box, and it also says that I released it into public domain. I would also add may approval to Danielclands comment box, but I can't edit that one. But anyway, thanks for restoring it! Best regards, Spitfire ch (talk) 19:22, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:S cerevisiae septins.jpg ownership

Hi. Concerning the rights to the above, I think the confusion is that Danielcland is listed as the uploader while you are listed as the creator (see this link for more details). This may because Spitfire ch and Danielcland are the same user or Danielcland moved an image uploaded by you from en.wikipedia to Commons. In either case, please clarify the origin of the file on the graphic on the File:S cerevisiae septins.jpg page. This will prevent the graphic from being deleted. Thanks. Boghog (talk) 11:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you very much, all of you, for looking into it and restoring the file. To shed some light on this incident: I originally created the picture and uploaded it to en.Wikipedia.org. Someone, I guess Danielcland (who is not the same person as I) then copied it to Commons (which is fine with me). Afterwards it was deleted from Wikipedia and the link in the septins article redirected to Commons. This chain of events apparently lead to some confusion and, ultimately, to the deletion of the file. Spitfire ch (talk) 19:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the clarification. The problem was that when the file was transferred to Commons, the {{PD-self}} tag was included. This is appropriate if the person that transferred the file is the same one who created it. However when the transferrer and creator are not the same, then the {{PD-user-w}} template that specifies the creator should be used instead. I have gone ahead and fixed the template in this edit. This should end the confusion and the graphics should no longer be in danger of deletion. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thank you very much for explaining and fixing this, Boghog! Spitfire ch (talk) 22:21, 27 February 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.
