Tips&Tricks Exchange

Hi, happyfeet, would you mind if I used your real name on wikipedia? I was just sending this to inform you of the Live RC page. http://kohl.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/rcdumper Check it out, extremely usefull. Also, I notice you said that the Speedy Delete tag didn't show up, it did. Sometimes Wikipedia, or your browser dosn't update automaticly. Collins.mc

Creole English

Hi, Happy Feet.

Whenever you mark a page as for Votes for Deletion, you are suppposed to both state the reason of your action, and vote yourself!! You failed to do that in the Creole English article, which I found in serious need of work, but nonethelessa valid title. --Marianocecowski 10:31, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Obscenity template

Obscenity is not a criterion for speedy deletion, so I am listing Template:Obscene on Wikipedia:Templates for deletion. —User:Mulad (talk) 18:38, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

The template was intended for articles that contain nothing but swears, not a swear located in an article. --Happyfeet10 23:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

User page vandalism

No problem. User:68.70.147.251 had covered your user page with "I AM PATENT NONSENSE!" repeated many times, followed by "I AM A POTATO!" many more times, with the summary "DELETE ME FOR PATENT NONSENSE!".

Irish stubs

Hi, I noticed you added the Ireland stub to Kilcormac, Ireland, and we are very grateful for your efforts! You may not be aware, but there is another stub template called {{Ireland-place-stub}}, for stubs related to geographic locations like towns. Thanks again!

Sorry, it's difficult to stay abreast of the stubs sometimes, half of them aren't even on the list of stub templates. --Happyfeet10 21:40, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Uploading Images

The logo of a school qualifies for fair use under the conditions listed in Template:Symbol. So, if you want to use the logo of a school in an article, just upload it, tag it with {{symbol}}, and list the source and fair use rationale. Be sure though to include it promptly in the relevant article so that the fair use claim is viable. Hope that helps. Canderson7 ^(talk) 03:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Lightbulb jokes

I've looked, but I can't find the list of programming language lightbulb jokes. I'm not sure where it went. Canderson7 ^(talk) 20:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Brooks School

I've watchlisted the page and I'll keep an eye on 12.16.74.6 as well. Thanks for the heads up. Canderson7 ^(talk) 17:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Brooksshield.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Brooksshield.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Brooks.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Brooks.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Brooks.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Brooks.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:10, 21 July 2010 (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.
