Hello. Do you know that in your articles about games you're creating lots of links that don't work because they have incorrectly capitlized letters? (Take a look at the ones I've edited.) Michael Hardy 00:11, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

So you know, if you happen upon an article that is nonsense (ie random characters or only horizontal lines, like the Compression ice machine article you recently edited and has since been deleted) you can add a {{delete}} tag to it, to alert admins that it should be speedily deleted. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 03:26, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No problem, also, when adding a comment on a talk page, add it at the bottom (click on the + button next to the "edit this page" button). I almost didn't see your message, cuz it was at the top! [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 04:01, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Halo contributions

I emailed you a little ways back but you didn't respond, so I'll try posting here. I'm just here to inform you that I'm spearheading a crusade to revamp and reorganize WikiPedia's pages on the Halo universe. I'd appreciate it if you'd check out my user page and my /Halo page. Click here and Enlist. I would be much obliged. That is, if you're interested in making more contributions and being a part of an organized group. LockeShocke 02:16, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Winter Hill Gang, Whitey Bulger & the Crime Stub

Thanks for changing the stub on those two articles. I was certain that the perfect stub was out there, but I kept drawing a blank. I hoped that someone would come along and add the correct one. You answered my prayers. Thanks again. --AStanhope 23:26, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

World Citizen userbox, {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}}

Hi, I noticed the message saying you're a World Citizen, I would like to invite you to add {{User:1ne/Userboxes/User world}} to your user page if you wish to proclaim it in a more effective way, and this template will also add you automatically to the Wikipedians with World Citizenship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion

Hey, I noticed you tagged an article with {{delete}}. That works to tag it for admins, but they usually need something that tells then why it's a Speedy Deletion candidate. Check WP:CSD for the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, it'll help you out a lot. The most common ones are non-notable bios (speedy delete template {{nn-bio}}), patent nonsense (speedy template {{nonsense}}) or just generally a Delete Because tag with an explanation (template {{db|give your reason here}}. Thanks for helping out on new page patrol!! RasputinAXP _talk _contribs 04:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Zoids... mobilise!

Amerika, I'm giving the green light to the Zoids wikiproject. You expressed interest in supporting this wikiproject, either at the temporary project page set up in my userspace, or at the entry in the "List of proposed Wikiprojects".

I am now informing you that the project page has been moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Zoids, and would like you to have a look at it sometime in the next few days. While you're there, please make a note on the talk page of the kind of work you feel you would be best at performing.

Thanks in advance for your effort! -- Saberwyn 22:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto to what Saberwyn said. Any help is good help so uber props go out to you.Thanks-Giant89 21:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF)

Thanks for uploading Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:BostonFrenzy.GIF. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Hi

Hi, I'm Dimitri from the Dutch language Wikipedia. I'm currently looking for people of about 14 to 18 years interested in politics, economy, education, business, culture or management. In March 2007 we started up a Dutch language site where we build a whole country, called Libertas. The site is named Wikistad, which means Wikicity in English. You can take a look by clicking here. Now, we're working on an English version after starting up a Romanian too. If you're interested, just come down here, you'll like it. You can become everything you want: from Prime Minister over businessman to taxi driver. Our country is named Lovia of the Kingdom of Lovia and is open to everybody. This is the URL: http://nation.wikia.com/ I'm looking forward to see you later, Dimitri. -DimiTalen 11:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ChicagoSkyliners.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ChicagoSkyliners.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. Project FMF (talk) 21:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File:Marijuana_Party_of_Canada.gif

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.
