Thanks for uploading Image:Farrellbrothers image.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cooplogored1.jpeg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cooplogored1.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ottawa Panhandlers Union

Did you know that you don't exist? The Panhandlers Union article has been deleted by Wikipedia administorator Blnguyen with the comment, "The result was Delete. socks ignored." Apparently you and the others who argued for keeping the article either don't exist or can be safely ignored. Welcome to Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SmashTheState (talk • contribs) 02:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still boggling over how I was mocked by a WikiGod for only having 84 edits under my belt. It was as if he were saying, "Clearly someone with only 84 edits deserves no respect!" I live in Ottawa, and have first hand experience with the union and the media attention it has received. Instead of taking my word for it when it comes to notability, they decide to kill it. Are these people insane? Is Wikipedia a cult?

I have a feeling the article will reappear soon enough, in some other form. Still, it's all very irritating. I feel like four overweight geeks with pocket protectors and taped glasses just roughed me up for my lunch money. --Nik 15:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tourist Union

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Tourist Union, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.hobo.com/tourist_union_63.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.

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.

Anarchism in Canada

Hey, did you mean to add a header to this article without any text underneath it? Cheers! Murderbike (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great. However, it would be a good idea to leave the header out until there's some info to go along with it. Otherwise some stranger comes along and says, "Ooh, anarchism in Winnipeg! But wheres the info?". If you want, you can create a page in your userspace, something along the lines of User:Transcona Slim/Sandbox, where you can get info together, start articles, without them being in the article space without being up to Wikipedia standards. Feel free to ask if you've got any questions! Murderbike (talk) 00:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Workers' Initiative

A tag has been placed on Workers' Initiative requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Emma Goldman

Please note that the quotation you ascribe to Emma Goldman was not said by her; it is written (in full) on the north block of the Secretariat Building in New Delhi, built by Herbert Baker in 1912.

"Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed."

It appears (in part) on Goldman's gravestone as an epitaph, but that does not imply that the quotation is hers. Just thought you'd like to know. 80.254.147.52 (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
