Orphaned non-free media (File:QuakeNetLogo.png)

  Thanks for uploading File:QuakeNetLogo.png. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:06, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry

I see you reverted an edit I made back in November. I have no memory of why I would have edited your page. My apologies. Liz Read! Talk! 00:59, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

No worries, I figured it was an AWB edit or some such. I've had to restore a few other intentional red-link categories in the past when others were using AWB. I only happened to notice because I was auditing everything in my userspace after someone pointed out a number of edits to other stuff in my userspace by a banned user (whom I'll be reporting shortly). --Tothwolf (talk) 01:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

User:UBX/Userboxes/Religion

Hello. It ssems you moved a lot of userboxes from User:UBX/Userboxes/Religion to User talk:UBX/Userboxes/Religion in June 2011. I just wonder why. I can't see any explanation there. Bandy boy (talk) 11:48, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The only thing I could find [1] is where I moved a block of commented out code (<-- -->) [2] to the talk page, [3] which I noted in the edit summary and section heading. --Tothwolf (talk) 17:00, 2 April 2014 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
