Do you still wish to run this bot? —Mets501 (talk) 21:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

No, not at this point.

No problem. I will expire the request. —Mets501 (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --Bezking^{Talk • Contribs} 12:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Logo ICOM.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo ICOM.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.

Invitation to WP:WPEL

Hello, I noticed you attempted to make a bot to detect dead external links. So I thought you might want to become a member of WikiProject External links. The project has been quite inactive recently, which is a pitty. Your contributions would be appreciated a lot — hope you can participate!

Do you still plan to continue working on your BezkingBot-Link? If not, you might consider getting its category removed.

By the way, I stumbled across your bot after having programmed Ocobot with a very similar scope to your project. — Ocolon 10:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I was just about to CfD that category actually - I'll wait until you've thought about it now. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 18:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo ICOM shrink.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo ICOM shrink.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 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 23:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Unblock request

{{unblock-auto on hold|1=Hersfold|2=Rangeblocked: 69.117.0.0/19|3=69.117.6.178|4=|5=NW (Talk) 19:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)}}

• Contacting Hersfold to see if it is appropriate to give you IP block exemption. NW (Talk) 19:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks. FWIW, even though my IP is considered to be "dynamic," it has continuously been assigned to me for over 4 years... Bezking^{Talk • Contribs} 19:40, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

• Thank you! Bezking^{Talk • Contribs} 21:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

IPBE removed

Hello, Bezking. Some time ago, I granted you an IP Block Exemption to allow you to continue editing despite a block on your ISP. That block has since expired, and a check of your account shows that you should not have any difficulty editing. According to standard procedures with regard to this flag, I have removed the exemption from your account. If you should encounter any further difficulties in editing, please let me know or follow the instructions provided to you in your block message. Happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Category:Dead links found by BezkingBot-Link

It was agreed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Speedy to rename Category:Dead Links Found by BezkingBot-Link to Category:Dead links found by BezkingBot-Link.

An admin noted:

• Will, presumably, require changes to the bot coding, but it's an inactive bot and Bezking has not edited since September 2011. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

The only contents were User:Bezking/BotTest and User:BezkingBot-Link/Message. I have simply deleted the category for now. The category page was:

This is a listing of all pages with Dead EXTERNAL LINKS as tagged by [[User:BezkingBot-Link]]. [[Category:Pages monitored by Wikipedia bots]]

If you reactivate your bot, please amend the category, and re-create it using the new name above. Hope this is clear! – Fayenatic London 19:35, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
