FYI, don't move pages by cutting-and-pasting the content. On the left-hand side of your screen, there should be a "move this page" function. Use that and it will keep the page history with the article. Let me know if you have any questions... Tuf-Kat 05:15, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)

I'm fine.

How are you doing? About the forums section, hey, I do what I do. ;).

The new ULMB wiki looks great. I'm user number two, apparently.

Westboro proposed move

Hi! You've already voted at Talk:Westboro, so I just wanted to let you know about a very small technical change I just made; I changed the proposed move target to Westboro (Ottawa), a page that already exists as a redirect to the current Westboro page. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 03:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seaview Square Mall

Just want to say thanks for all the work you do with articles pertaining to New Jersey. Also, thanks for the cites on Seaview Square Mall. You're awesome! --Darkdan 04:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words. If it's on my watch list, I feel it's my responsibility to defend the article, all 6,500 of them. I have fought for retention of this and other malls and I hope to stand up for other similar articles and bring them up to standards and beyond. Keep up the good fight yourself.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ppccomp.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ppccomp.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. BigDT 23:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging an IP block

170.140.116.0/24 & 170.140.117.0/24 are being used by the dorms at Emery. I noticed that you tagged the User Talk pages for at least one other IP block with a template saying they were from a university network. Assuming you have some simple way to automate the process, can you either tag the IPs mentioned here or let me in on the secret of how to take care of it myself? Many thanks, MrZaius^talk 16:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Positive_k.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Positive_k.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. ShakespeareFan00 13:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Image:Lisa-Loeb-Stay-70436.jpg

I have tagged Image:Lisa-Loeb-Stay-70436.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:TLC-Waterfalls-65800.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TLC-Waterfalls-65800.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) 06:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:DonnaLewis.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DonnaLewis.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

I have nominated DJ Miko, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Miko.

In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 72 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

File permission problem with File:Antifredphelps.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Antifredphelps.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 15:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
