Fair use rationale for File:BGIME78.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BGIME78.jpg. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:56, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

DYK issue edit

  Hello! Your submission of The Tale of Mac Da Thó's Pig at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

The hook is currently much longer than the rules allow. Please edit it so that it's no longer than 200 characters. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 18:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for working on the hook. Would you have another look and see if my slightly shorter ALT is acceptable? MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 22:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

To recognise fine work on The Tale of Mac Da Thó's Pig – a well-written article on an important topic. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

As an aside, I was surprised to see it was created only a month ago. This article is proof that there's plenty yet to write about. Best, —Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are now a Reviewer edit

 

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. Kindly Calmer Waters 04:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Chessmen edit

Hi Grimhelm. I noticed your latest DYK, and peaked and some of your other articles and stuff. I noticed you were working on a draft of the lewis chessmen, and saw that you didn't make any mention an awesome (and free) reference. Go to GoogleScholar, and search for "lewis chessmen caldwell", it should be the first hit (The Lewis Hoard of Gaming Pieces: A Re-examination of their Context, Meanings, Discovery and Manufacture). Caldwell's paper came out last year. I think it'd be a really good source for the article. If you google "caldwell lewis chessmen", or something like that, you can see his findings were covered in the media last year. You're articles are great. I love reading about the Hebridean/Norse-Gaelic stuff. I'd like to come up with an article on par with some of the ones you've done (like the one on Sigtrygg). I just don't have the sources, haha.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 06:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your GA nomination of The Tale of Mac Da Thó's Pig edit

The article The Tale of Mac Da Thó's Pig you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold  . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:The Tale of Mac Da Thó's Pig for things which need to be addressed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hey Grimhelm, long time no see. Just thought I'd let you know I moved your work on the 1340s subpage from my userspace to yours. I'm going to get a name-change so I'm deleting all of my unneeded subpages, though you might want to keep that though. Cheers mate. · AndonicO Contact. 10:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
