[edit] Please be careful not to tease antimergists and "angry" people

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, like with Barret Wallace. Putting the link to the merge discussion in the edit summary would be a good thing to prevent angry people from de-merging and reverting your edits. Thank you. Kariteh 21:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] English/Scottish/etc.

You may be interested to know that Wikipedia:Manual of Style (United Kingdom-related articles) has now been created and there is a discussion taking place on the talk page. Readro 21:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name of the UK

Actually, 'United Kingdom' is the OFFICIAL short name of the nation. Unlike 'Great Britain', 'United Kingdom' is an officially acceptable name for the country. Cynical 12:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

It's got nothing to do with me being pro-independence (could you please explain why using 'United Kingdom' rather than 'Great Britain' is somehow a pro-independence bias?) - it is simply the fact that Gordon Brown was Chancellor of the whole UK, including Northern Ireland. 'Great Britain', by definition, excludes Northern Ireland and is therefore inaccurate in this case. 'Britain' is acceptably interchangeable with 'United Kingdom', but 'Great Britain' is not (because 'Great Britain' is the landmass). Cynical 14:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Illuminati

I responded on the talkpage. I can probably provide cites for much of what you tagged, but long story short I've become something of a lending library with Illuminati books and before I go calling on my tin-foil hat friends to get my books back I want to make sure that the sources are acceptable and won't just be the focal point of a reliable source fight. I've got some decent sources that if used narrowly just to source the < 1790 stuff. The "Cultural effect" section needs a rewrite as well; some of that is easy to source, but some if it is just weasel wording that needs to be adjusted.--Isotope23 talk 15:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Adam West

Thank you for you contributions. Would you be interested in joining the Family Guy WikiProject? It's still getting started, and needs a few more sensible editors. / edg ☺ ★ 17:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:O'brein and murphey.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:O'brein and murphey.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:GERibbentrop.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:GERibbentrop.jpg. I noticed that 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 13:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 13:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Roman Catholic" Church in England and Wales

If you do not object, I would like to revert your page name change to the original "Catholic Church in England and Wales". This is because the official Church website states that the name is the "Catholic Church in England and Wales" WITHOUT the word "Roman". Please see [www.catholic-ew.org.uk]. I understand that you may want to make the article's title 'in line' with other England and Wales Catholic articles, but to my knowledge most articles about Catholicism in England and Wales just have 'Catholic' in their page title. Please let me know if I am wrong. Looking to hearing from you soon, 195.195.166.31 19:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. However, the signs on churches are issued by individual PARISH churches and NOT by the official Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales (note the absence of 'Roman' in front of Catholic in the official title). It would seem superfluous to add 'Roman' to the title of the article given that the Catholic Church in England and Wales OFFICIALLY addresses herself in this way (see their website, www.catholic-ew.org.uk).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mordor.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mordor.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 02:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Shendu2018.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shendu2018.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) 19:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Immaculate Conception (Star Wars)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Immaculate Conception (Star Wars), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Immaculate Conception (Star Wars).
