[edit] Teensy Eensy Images

Why did I restrict my images to "non-commercial use"? Because Creative Commons normally give the author that option (and I am allowed to create my own license terms).

As a compromise, I will make the images very tiny for Wikipedia use to comply with the public domain policy.

Cheers

[edit] Userbox Migration

Hello! I noticed your script was migrating a very large number of userboxes lately. I wanted to suggest not trying to move every userbox, especially if they do not seem to be causing any sort of controversy. If someone migrated an uncontrovercial box and did not bypass its redirects, you might want to just move the userbox back to its original location instead of finishing their migration, which saves time and reduces headaches. It's my opinon that migrating userboxes which are not causing problems runs contrary to the purpose of WP:UM, which is to reduce conflicts and avoid starting new arguments. Thanks! —AySz88\^-^ 22:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, though I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing; I guess I should give an example. I noticed that you moved a few interest boxes, like a Magic: The Gathering box and a D&D box. Those are probably harmless (or somewhat useful) enough to leave alone, unless I missed some sort of big incident involving those sort of boxes.
Happy editing. :) —AySz88\^-^ 23:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A while ago

... you(r script) marked Image:Queen of the North.jpg as a fair use replaceable image. I'm not exactly sure where a replacement can be found, as the ship has sunk. If you could impart some insight as to your rationale, I'd be greatly obliged. Thanks! theProject 05:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:You Stand Watching.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:You Stand Watching.jpg. 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 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.

[edit] 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 04:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

The table on Mazharul Islam looks ugly to me. It's difficult to access, the size is intimidating, the last column that contains comments is way too wide, the projects coulmn or the second column doesn't project the projects strongly, and a grouping of the years may do it much good. Can you give a hand there? I have been advised by User:Real96 to take help from WP:TABLE, but since I am quite illiterate on this code thing it is not helping (I can steal codes from others fine, but writing or fixing it is way too scary for me).

[edit] Redirects

I have been fixing links to Peruvian nuevo sol which actually hit a redirect first, such as Sol (currency). I checked out your redirect page, and I found that you list "Peruvian nuevo sol" (which is not a redirect), "Sol (currency)" (which is), and "Sol (currency)(disambiguation)" (which does not exist and probably never should). Given that "Peruvian nuevo sol" is not a redirect, you may want to remove it, but perhaps I do not understand the goal of your redirect page. --Cromwellt|talk 20:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Christmas tree-7534301.jpg

Hello Poccil, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Christmas tree-7534301.jpg) was found at the following location: User talk:Poccil. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 11:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SSCT vert stacked bw.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SSCT vert stacked bw.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 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 09:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Reversible inhibition.svg

Thank you for uploading images/media such as Image:Reversible inhibition.svg to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading your media there instead. That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!Richard001 08:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
