removing a Kardashev scale image

Hi, I saw you helped improve resolution on the Kardashev scale projections graph, and I thought you'd be interested that upon close analysis and definition of the as-yet-undefined plot lines, the graph is basically junk and bad OR, so I'm petitioning to remove it from all articles. Because it's been reproduced online and I think we shouldn't endorse junk, I'd like to ask you to remove it from your mirror pages, if any, as well. Feel free to comment. SamuelRiv (talk) 07:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

I did not improve the resolution on the image, but rather resaved it with a higher compression ratio. This is not really important to the issue at hand, however, for which I have no opinion. I do not believe that I have uploaded that image anywhere other than here. Xiong Chiamiov ::contact:: ^help! 17:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

File:The Falling Man.jpg listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:The Falling Man.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:PSPad.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PSPad.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IFixit logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:IFixit logo.png. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 10:23, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Wizard/Alice

I reverted your edit on the Madison Scouts 1971 program... Regardless of what Madison's 2018 program announcement might have said, the 1971 program was The Wizard of OZ. The musical selections begam with "Over the Rainbow," "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," and "We're Off to See the Wizard" and ended with "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" all from The Wizard of Oz. Two of the other selections were from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but there were no/zero/zip/naught songs from Alice in Wonderland.. GWFrog (talk) 17:12, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates

Hi, due to quirks in the way that Wikipedia parses javascript pages, curly braces are parsed as templates, unless they are inside of <nowiki>...</nowiki>, <pre>...</pre>, <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight> ... As a result of this, your script page, User:Xiong Chiamiov/monobook.js, is generating links in Special:WantedTemplates (in particular links to Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Sub" + "st:Welcomeip and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Sub" + "st:w-shout). Recently, an interface editor attempted to fix this by adding <nowiki> at the top and </nowiki> at the bottom of your script page. This didn't work because you already have <nowiki>...</nowiki> on that page. It would be great if you could add <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight> tags (you don't have these) at the top and bottom of your page like this which will prevent your page from generating links in Special:WantedTemplates.
