Iron John

Good job cleaning up and reworking the Iron John page. My original text was somewhat of a mess. - Lifefeed 19:27, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

grammasites?

So, chasing for grammasites, are we? In your opinion, what BOOK version does apply to the wikipedia? ;-) Lectonar 07:10, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mike Oldfield

Your work on the Mike Oldfield albums is fantastic. Thanks very much. Geoff/Gsl 03:58, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bob Knight

Hate to disagree with you regarding Mr. Knight. He has a lot to do with education. I was skeptical about him coaching at Tech (of which I am an alumnus). The man does have his flaws, but he is a big supporter of education. He expects his players to be students first, and athletes second. He loves to read and has spent his own money and time to support the Tech library. H2O 00:27, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Red link recovery project

Howdy, Topbanana here, back after an extended absence. I've decided to round up a few of my more useful reports into a project with the goal of converting as many "red links" (links to non-existant articles) into "blue links" (links to real articles). As you've been active in fixing similar things in the past, I thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in joining up. If not, I won't be offended - we've all got lots todo here :) - TB 11:37, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mike oldfield incantations album cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mike oldfield incantations album cover.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 '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 01:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mike oldfield tsode album cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mike oldfield tsode album cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Airborn album cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Airborn album cover.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 10:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: Image:Sneed hall corner view.jpg

Image:Sneed hall corner view.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:Sneed Hall.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all MediaWiki wiki's. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Sneed Hall.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Inky! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 5 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Fair use rationale for File:Continuum rpg cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Continuum rpg cover.jpg. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 16:11, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Mike oldfield platinum album cover.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:Mike oldfield platinum album cover.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:10, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
