[edit] Response to Erielhonan

Note:the same answer is on Nadirali's talk page.

In which case I will provide a link and remove the bulk response from my talk page, since I specifically asked him to post his reply on his own page. Erielhonan 06:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination being used in a personal dispute

Whew, it's even worse than that. The nominator used a slander/libel word in the nomination that implies the subject of the article is a criminal. I wrote a group apology, but the nominator needs to delete and apologize. Or failing that, the admins need to delete and recant for him. Milo 15:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why I've been included in this discussion aside from possibly canvassing for votes. I have no knowledge or particular interest in this topic, so please don't expect me to participate. Thanks. Erielhonan 00:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Pardon, I assumed the previously unsigned comment was yours. Milo 15:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cult

I'm sure you meant well on copyvio patrol, but I've reverted your deletion of the M-W.com definition of cult. This kind of studious, comparative discussion of definitions is thoroughly protected under the fair use provisions of copyright law. However, the revert gave me the serepiditious opportunity to add the COED British definitions that had been missing until now. Milo 11:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see you clean it up. As it was, it was also presented in a way that made it appear non-factual. I'll encourage you to provide bibliographical information and/or links for the Random House Unabridged Dictionary definitions as well. Erielhonan 00:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject San Francisco

You have been invited to join the San Francisco WikiProject, a collaborative effort to build a more detailed guide on Wikipedia's coverage of San Francisco, California. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks or add some of your own.

[edit] Help with a Wiki

Hello, I'm Brain40, I noticed your contributions and I figured you are likely to know about history. With me being an administrator on the Gun Wiki, (second to Jocke pirat) and it needing help with contributers, I figured you may want to help with it, the gun wiki is basically a Wiki all about guns, their history, people that have made an impact on gun history, the technical aspects of guns, and so on. So, would you be willing to help? Brain40 16:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Article Improvment page for WP:VIRGINIA

Seeing as our old Collaborations page at WP:VIRGINIA had no activity in the past year it was decided to replace it with a new Article Improvement/Request Help page that would allow members to list articles in need of attention. Its also a place to request help for an article taht you are working on to see if any other members would like to volunteer and help out. Thanks. T Rex | talk 01:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Minesweeper.widget.mac.osx.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Minesweeper.widget.mac.osx.png. 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) 20:50, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Khomeini.10000.rial.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Khomeini.10000.rial.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) 14:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:19-2Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:19-2Cover.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) 15:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
