Please do not remove legitimate piped wikilinks from articles. There are reasons for such links, and removing them can be considered vandalism. Ward3001 (talk) 15:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, you might as well say there are reasons not to pipe, and piping in spite can be considered vandalism. You can't just decide that unpiping is wrong because you don't like it. That's why articles have their own talk pages. If you don't want to be mistaken for a vandalist, you should go there and support your opinions. Maybe you'll be convincing. But we'll never know if you don't try. -Lwc (talk) 16:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

vandal warning from an edit from 3 years ago edit

Hello, it is probably a waste if time to warn an ip that has not edited in a couple of years. By the time anyone sees that, the IP may well have been assigned to a new user. In any event, the IP stopped long ago. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I just figured if the IP somehow does make a vandalist comeback, at least I won't get a "we can't block because there are no standing warnings" message. -Lwc (talk) 14:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Administrators are not robots - we look at the warnings, but we also look at the recent edits. If they don't match, they don't count. Please don't make reports at WP:AIV on users that are not active right now. It just wastes your time and ours. Kafziel Complaint Department 09:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Blat (software) edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Blat (software), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Insufficient demonstration of notability. Referenced entirely to the official Blat website.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free image File:BitTorrent DNA 2.2.1.gif edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:BitTorrent DNA 2.2.1.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 15:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

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.

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.
