Hi, I answered your questions on my userpage. Best, Matan 00:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Also, I looked at your edits. I am not an expert on those subjects, so I can't say much for content. I would recommend, however, that you preview your edits before saving them, in order to avoid re-making changes. Cheers, Matan 00:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Forbidden Planet HD-DVD-Cover.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Forbidden Planet HD-DVD-Cover.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 15:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

04-Nov-2007: KEPT. I relinked that DVD-cover image in article "Forbidden Planet" and added commentary. A fair-use image must be mentioned within an article's text, such as "note the Captain and Altira on the cover" etc. After relinking to article commentary, I untagged the image from "{{di-orphaned fair use|date=November 4 2007}}". -Wikid77 17:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image on HDR page

edit

Hi,

I removed your image because it doesn't add much information about what HDR is and what its benefits are (judging from the contrast of the scene, HDR seemed hardly necessary). There tends to be a lot of spamming of this page with links and images, so it's best to first ask in the Talk page whether it's ok to add your image/link.

I hope that makes sense and that I didn't hurt your feelings by this removal.

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

edit

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'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. 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) 21:59, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of BMW F20

edit
 

The article BMW F20 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article needs references to not violate Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 22:11, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rolls-Royce Wraith, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page V12 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Marking edits as "minor" by default

edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to John Glenn, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Independent reliable source are sources are those obtain from major newspaper, such as The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, CNN news and etc. or source obtain from major publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press). Pls see

  1. reliable source - see WP:RS

  3. verification - see WP:V
  4. notability - see WP:N
  5. webcite - see WP:CITEWEB and its template -see Template: cite web

Once you have provided inline citations, you could move back the page to "article" to resubmit. Lastly, I strongly encourage you to visit WP:The Wikipedia Adventure for there some short and fun exercises on neutrality, verifiability, collaboration, research and sourcing. Thank you.
