By the way, it looks like England, by and by, doesn't take nonsense as well as we do. Thank you. It's ironic, isn't it? Conservative America, none other, abandons its artistic traditions...--VKokielov 22:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

As you're obviously Scottish, and have made a lot of good edits/new articles, I thought I'd let you know that someone has started up a page for Scottish users -

{{Gaelic-stub}}

edit

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Urras (fictional planet)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Urras (fictional planet), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Urras. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 11:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, when you move pages on Wikipedia, please don't copy and paste the text. Instead, use the "move" tab near the top of the screen. Copy/paste moves separate the article from its history, which cases GFDL compliance issues. Thanks!! -- But|seriously|folks  20:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:James Lovelock.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:James Lovelock.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 10:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Fordham Experiment

edit
 

The article Fordham Experiment has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No assertion of notability or external references besides the article itself. A virtual copy of the original article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:39, 11 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Jamesmorrison! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. 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 140 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
