[edit] Your edits to the Wikicalendar pages

Hi Benjamin, thanks for your contributions. However, I've had to revert a bunch of your changes to the Wikicalendar. For all those pages, a person's description is their nationality and their occupation - for example, "American actor." This description should be as short as possible - ideally, two words. If someone is a singer, actress, model, and writer, pick the one occupation she is most known for, and list that. For actors, please don't make their description the role they are most famous for playing. If people are interested in that information, they can visit that person's Wikipedia article. Please feel free to edit, but stick to that protocol. Thanks. Fabricationary 02:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Presidents of Indonesia

Sorry, but I've removed your addition of templates. This was an issue only a few weeks - it's funny, in that the template you've created was essentially the same as the one rejected. See here: [1]. Happy to discuss if need be. regards Merbabu 01:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Rob and Amber

Template:Rob and Amber has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. --Tinlinkin 00:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Terrancehoward.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Terrancehoward.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. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. 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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Amazing Race 11 Route map

I notice how you update the map of The Amazing Race 11, you are not using "upload new version for this file" that find out in the bottom of image page to update but you upload into new name, new file. Try to use that to uploading a new version of map, and refresh the cache, it will refresh to new version, and please speedy deletion for old map. Thank you. --Aleenf1 04:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manual of Style

Hi, I've reverted your edit to Dan Castellaneta because by the manual of style, we don't put links in headers. --Wafulz 02:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

This is vandalism, kay? :) Don't remove content and then put it up on AfD for being uninformative. 86.137.121.170 19:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Andrew Airlie. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. You removed content from this article then nominated it for deletion based on content that was missing--specifically the same content that you deleted).[2] This is vandalism, and I post this official vandalism notice because the one above was posted by an anon IP.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SpyKids2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SpyKids2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. The Sunshine Man is now Qst 17:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
