Cafasso image
Despite your reply in the talk of Joseph Cafasso that user:Evrik has anyway used some of the images, uploaiding on Commons as a generic {{PD}}. He is also starting somewhat an edit war with Ian Spackman who is deleting that image, and has given no argumentation for the use of the doubtful (and also bad quality) image. Maybe you can intervene and discourage Evrik from his aggressivity. Bye and good work. --Attilios 14:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Association of Members' Advocates
Hi, you are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as an active member of WP:AMA. If you aren't currently accepting inquiries for AMA, or if you have resigned, please de-list yourself from Wikipedia:AMA Members. If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on Category:AMA Requests for Assistance. We're going to put AMA on wheels. :) Sorry for the template spamming - we're just trying to update our records, after we had a huge backlog earlier in the week (if you've been taking cases, then sorry, and please ignore this :)). Again, sorry, and thanks! Martinp23 20:54, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW
Hi Computerjoe,
I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 09:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Today's featured article
Just wanted to let you know a featured article you worked on, 0.999..., was featured today on the Main Page. Tobacman 00:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
editorial opinion?
Can you take a look at the article Front side bus and give me some feedback? I chopped out a bunch of material. Please let me know what you think. (And does that box at the top right look useful to you?) RJFJR 11:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Turnovsky-Martin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Turnovsky-Martin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok â 22:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Hewitt.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Hewitt.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. WJBscribe 19:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I added a new version of that photo of Patricia Hewitt so it would be good enough quality for the Infoboxpolitician template (but still lower quality than the original so I think fair use is satisfied) as such I think the old one is redundant. What do you think? Thanks. WJBscribe 03:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I saw LOL. This can be deleted. Computerjoe's talk 16:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Please reconsider your vote re SE Wikiquote
Please reconsider your vote re Simple English Wikiquote. Your comment with your vote suggests you don't understand what SE Wikiquote is for. It is not about collecting quotes in Simple English. See my user page, for example, for a discussion of the aim of SE Wikiquote. The vote is at meta:Proposals for closing projects Thanks. --Coppertwig 03:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Cleanup Taskforce
Can you take a look at Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/CVSS and comment on the state of CVSS. I did a rewrite to clear CV. Now it needs wikilinks and I need some feedback on what further work it needs. Thank you. RJFJR 02:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting
Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 19:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

You are officially still a councilor. I am considering boosting the organization back up again, so could you please let me know if you would be active and prepared to assume this role. Thanks! Ian¹³/t 22:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Concordia Newsletter
NEWSLETTER
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
Help out now!
- Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
- Give people the Civility Barnstar.
- Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
- Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
- Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
Decision Making
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
- Ian¹³/t 20:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC). Kindly delivered by MiszaBot.
This AMA Case
I'm just letting you know that I have closed this case, as the advocee hasn't been on Wikipedia since Nov. 7. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 00:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
WP:UW
Hi,
You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 08:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Opinion?
What do you think of List of Fibre Channel switch vendors ( which links to List of Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters)? My first reaction is to prod it. But the second article looks a little more reasonable. What do you think, please? RJFJR 17:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- I would suggest you PROD them both as listcruft. Computerjoe's talk 19:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Inconsistencies
Hi computerjoe, can I ask why you called for an afd over Inconsistencies in the Star Trek canon? many thanks! Magic Pickle 20:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey. I specified my reasons in the AfD. Computerjoe's talk 20:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
If a subject is notable, then a detailed analysis of it is also. Magic Pickle 20:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC) We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. What constitutes 'indiscrimate information' is surely a matter of POV. Magic Pickle 21:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Being in the minority doesn't mean you are wrong. Magic Pickle 21:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Concordia
Since you are in favor of complete abolition of Concordia[1], I think your efforts are a conflict of interest to reviving/developing Concordia. I really think you should recuse yourself. You talk about expelling members, but when I suggest a criteria for such expulsion, you say it's too beaurocratic. --ElectricEye (talk) 02:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I take that back Computerjoe, that was uncivil of me to say so. I'm sorry for not assuming good faith. --ElectricEye (talk) 14:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
More inconsistency pages
Hi Cj, just found Inconsistencies in Gilmore Girls, would you support me in calling for AFD? thanks. Magic Pickle 19:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that, CJ. You may also like to take a look at List of continuity errors and anachronisms in M*A*S*H and consider deletion. Thanks. Magic Pickle 23:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
OK: next one for possible delete: - UNIT dating controversy. Thanks. Magic Pickle 01:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Your request for a case
Hi - based on your request here, I'm going to try to allocate you a case :) there were only two to choose from, so by blind tab clicking (and other factors :P) can I suggest Wikipedia:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/January 2007/Sethie? It seems like quite a deep running dispute, and is heading towards mediation (formal), from advocacy of the other party. It might be good to try to avert mediation if you can, but in any case it should help to be able to talk with Geo.plrd (the other advocate) about the case, who I'm sure will be eager to bring it to an amicable resolution. Let me know if this is OK - Martinp23 17:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- I of course am interested in an amicable resolution. Please contact me with any questions or comments. Geo. 20:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not upload still images in the GIF format
Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you've uploaded Image:RedcarClevelandLogo.gif in the GIF format. In the future, please save still GIF images in the PNG format before uploading (see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload). PNG images almost always have a smaller file size, which decreases the amount of time they take to load. There are a bunch of other advantages to the PNG format such as lossless compression that you can read about on its Wikipedia article. —Remember the dot (t) 22:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
AMA Case
Hi - I have no idea about the background to the dispute, so I wouldn't be able to take it over completely, but by all means I'll be happy to co-advocate with you. What's the current status of the dispute, and your reason for seeking help? This should help me to get a sense of the debate :) Thanks, Martinp23 11:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and..
I very, very, very much appreciate your attempts to negotiate something between me and TG in terms of where to take this conflict. For that I thank yo much.
And, I no longer feel the pull for your counsel. I am disapointed that you would look at my response and only see uncivility after TimidGuy slipped in such zingers as: "I don't see how we can ever deal with the disputed sources in the article if Sethie intends to change the focus of every RfC into a personal issue."
Would you be willing to read that again? "I don't see how we can ever deal with the disputed sources in the article if Sethie intends to change the focus of every RfC into a personal issue." It's ridiculous!
And "But I just don't see the pont, since Sethie would likely turn it into a personal issue."
Here is a guy, talking about me 3rd person, on my AMA page, making accusations about my future behavior, and innacurate descriptions of my current behavior (my RfC comments on the TM page).
Your response to this was to rebuke me for incivility for calling him on exagerations, ignore his incivility/innacuracy and then on my AMA page, give me a slap on the wrist for my userpage?
That's not what I was hoping for in an advocate!
As for my userpage, we can talk about that on my talk page.Sethie 19:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Even if a user is uncivil to you you must not be uncivil to them. Also, as for your userpage I thought it was my responsibility as a Wikipedian to remove them. If you took the names out from the comments, it would be fine. Computerjoe's talk 19:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for trying
HI, Computerjoe. Thanks so much for your efforts to deal with the dispute between Sethie and me. I can't quite understand why volunteers like yourself would be motivated to get involved in such messes, and I appreciate the generosity of you and others. : ) I'm sorry for my waffling regarding your suggestions on how to proceed and regarding an informal solution. Each time things settled down in the dispute, I thought maybe it would be OK.
I'm sorry to see that your advocee complained and that it's led to opening an investigation. Let me know if you need my support in any way. I value your sincere attempt, and I want to state again that just initiating the process and broaching an open discussion on the Advocate pages has seemed to help the situation. I'm confident that whatever further steps are taken will also help. As I understand, Sethie still has the assistance of Gary and Martin. TimidGuy 18:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

AMA investigation
Hi Computerjoe, I'm Wikiwoohoo, one of the deputy co-ordinators.
It has been brought to my attention that there have been problems and accusations of improper conduct that have arisen within the case of Sethie and TimidGuy.
What I'd like to do is find out all the facts behind this case and solve this problem as soon as possible. Would it be possible for you to provide me with a full statement of your version of events and once I have gathered the same from the two other users in question, I will be able to investigate fully.
I appreciate you may be busy outside Wikipedia so any reply in your own time will be very much appreciated, either on my talk page or if you prefer, my email address: shown on my user page. Many thanks for your time; I hope to be able to solve this problem as soon as I can. Wikiwoohoo 19:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I voluteeered to co-advocate this case, and almost immediately concerns were raised over whether I was acting as mediator or advocate. I said I was acting as an advocate trying to find a mutually beneficial solution.
- While I was acting as advocate, everything seemed to calm down. However, my advocee was uncivil on multiple occasions - which I warned him about - and I also removed something I saw as a personal attack from his user page. [2].
- Sethie complained I was only seeing his incivility, not the other party's.
- I referred it to investigation as I felt I might have acted inappropiately as an advocate. Thanks, Computerjoe's talk 19:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing me with your statement on this matter. I have now received other statements from the two other users involved and will provide my report within the next few days. I will provide you with a link to it once it is active. Wikiwoohoo 16:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
-
- Many thanks for your co-operation in my investigation. My report into the matter can now be found here: Wikipedia:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/January 2007/Sethie#Investigation.
I hope this concludes the dispute that had been ongoing. Wikiwoohoo 16:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

WinLIKE
You nominated the article WinLIKE for deletion and the AfD consensus was to delete. However, an appeal has been made at deletion review to restore the article. The main argument is that sources which assert notability have now been provided. You may wish to comment here: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 February 12#WinLIKE.

Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 00:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?
Hi, Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace template issue. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

Image:1915 Dance by Rodchenko.jpg
Hello, Computerjoe. An automated process has found and removed a fair use image used in your userspace. The image (Image:1915 Dance by Rodchenko.jpg) was found at the following location: User talk:Computerjoe/Archive 4. This image was removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image was replaced with Image:Example.jpg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image to replace it with. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 22:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:British 1tenth ECU.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:British 1tenth ECU.png. 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 16:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Techcrunch.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Techcrunch.gif. 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 insure 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.BetacommandBot 04:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Cleveland
Please stop redirecting Cleveland to Cleveland (disambiguation). It's not an appropriate target, and your edits have been reverted multiple times by multiple editors. The discussion at the Village Pump (which has been temporarily archived) did not reach a consensus for changing the target of the redirect. If you look at the articles linking to the page, you'll see that nearly all of them refer to Cleveland, Ohio, a clear indication that the primary topic rule applies in this instance. That, combined with the earlier discussion means that the page should redirect to Cleveland, Ohio and not Cleveland (disambiguation). Unless there's been a major change in the last two and half years that suddenly made Cleveland, England more notable, there's no need to open a poll on the issue. Please remember that polling is not a substitute for consensus. - EurekaLott 18:12, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's fair enough. How about we provide a link to the English ex-county in the dablink area as to prevent people wishing to find the other Cleveland having to go through another page? Computerjoe's talk 21:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

- I noticed that you changed the disambiguation link at the top of the Cleveland, Ohio article to include a link to Cleveland, England. An anonymous contributor changed it back, however. I don't think it's really a big deal either way, since you've done a good job of making the link to Cleveland, England very prominent on the disambiguation page. Incidentally, the Cleveland, Ohio article does include a link to the Cleveland, England article in the sister cities section near the bottom. - EurekaLott 03:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you! Delivered on behalf of xaosflux 16:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Civility Award
The code for the "Civility Award" Is missing from the Other Awards page and so it cannot be awarded. Can you put the code on the page or leave me the code for me to do? Thank you. --Simpsons fan 66 03:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ok I figured out how to do it and will do it when i get around to it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simpsons fan 66 (talk • contribs).
- Ok the code is up and running, as is the code for all the other awards that had missing templates. --Simpsons fan 66 02:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:9rules.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:9rules.png. 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 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.BetacommandBot 16:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
 Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 |
|
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OiNK
Can you reopen this? Quite a lot of the keep arguments are weak and I'd hate to go through the rigmarole of DRV. Will (talk) 21:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- I second this - it's probably not a great idea for non-admins to early close within six hours. Stifle (talk) 11:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
DRV Notice
An editor has asked for a deletion review of OiNK. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review.--- Jreferee t/c 15:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD
Just wanna metion that, your AfD vote, isn't really true. Read WP:MUSIC and then see if the band meet any of those criteria. ThundermasterTRUC 15:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC) 09:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Another comment on your AfD. WP:Music states music chart, which they have not made yet as in the UK it's the Top 40 chart and not the Top 50. ThundermasterTRUC 15:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC) 08:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Another comment: I came to Wikipedia for information about the band, in order to make a comment to a posting at Beatking.com. The article should stay - the band is growing in popularity outside its UK roots.
I'm not sure who made the criteria that a band must be in the Top 40 or Top 50 to be taken seriously at Wikipedia, but... In my mind, most music in the Top 40 or Top 50 these days is NOT to be taken seriously. Case in point, independent rock is just as popular as commercial rock, despite not relying on Top 40 or Top 50 lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dudeasincool (talk • contribs) 00:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)<!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Maquis raider.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Maquis raider.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 (talk) 20:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
