I tried to place an Infobox on the Claude Akins article, but the formatting is not coming out correctly.

Fixed, you forgot the bracket on [[1926] ---> [[1926]]. Miranda 08:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Sorry edit

I tried doing it, but I couldn't. If you want to you can do it. SorryJade1984 10:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just write how she was in wikipedia according to you. Her life was a horrible thing. She lost her mother when she was 12 years old, lost her father on her 20th birthday, the man she loved dumped her... It was pretty bad, she even had Asperger's Syndrome, so she wasn't social. She kept her sufferings to herself. Her realatives were after the money, they didn't and they still don't care about her... So just write what you can about her. Thank you for the star. I can't tell you how I feel right now.Jade1984 10:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your concern. I haven't been through someone's death before and so I never knew how it felt. I guess I do now... June told me about you quitting Wikipedia because of some problems, she wasn't very happy about it. I might as well would leave too. I just wanted to edit articles with June. But anyways...i'll visit to see her page.Jade1984 10:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Suffering...she was the only person I knew. Even when she knew the effects of those drugs...Thank you so muchJade1984 10:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just never seen anyone so concerned before! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Jade1984 11:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I tried killing myself once and she was there for me...and now when she tried to do the same thing...I couldn't do anything...But thank you for the offer Jade1984 11:06, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

You are right...it's just that life's cruel. There isn't even a perfect funeral for her. But she wanted one thing very much...that her ashes be released on to Bondi Beach. That was her favourite place...she wanted this to be done by me while I was listening to Vision Valley by The Vines. But I won't kill myself now, no, never.Jade1984 11:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I am sorry to hear about June Anna Danes. You and Jade1984 have added June's info to Deceased Wikipedians, but I was hoping that someone could add more info about her to the page and/or upload a photo in her honor. Any link to an obituary would also be good. If you don't feel like you can add the info at this point, feel free to e-mail it to me and I'll make the edits. Sincerely, --Alabamaboy 16:12, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestions edit

I already thought you hadn't intended it that way, that you just wanted to update the message. That's okay. I meant my edit summary as a good-faith request/message/question, not in any way as a warning. And even if I did, I think you've got other things on your mind right now. Just wanted to let you know I feel sorry for all of you, and wish you all the best. AecisBrievenbus 11:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey... edit

Hey.. I still cant believe what happened to Victoria. Just wanted to thank you for the things you put up on her page. And do you have any connection with her? Just wondering. Jayant,18 Years, Indiacontribs 05:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh.. Hey.. How have ya been? And I still cant get over this tragedy. I am not really logging onto wikipedia that frequently and am a little busy with my college and trying get my musical career to start off. Anyways, hope you are doing great! See ya. Jayant,18 Years, Indiacontribs 18:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I edit

Can't thank you enough...The flower is beautiful. The page is dull that way, but the flower brightens it. I hope you lead a great life ahead, good people like you deserve it. You're a very nice person. Nobody I know has ever been so concerned and kind. Please accept the barnstar as a token of appreciation. I know this isn't the time to go and award barnstars but you need it. Thanks once again also for the hopeful messages. I feel much better than before. As for the deceased persons list thing, I couldn't possibly add anything, i'd just be writing a book about her as a friend and a person not as a wikipedian. Since she knew User:Fluence more, I think you should ask him. As for photos, I have none. I know that's surprising but the thing is, I met her when we were let's say, about 4 years old, she left for England when she was 11 years, she came back to OZ when we were 20 years(two years back). So there wasn't much time for photos. All that there is now are memories. And really good ones.Jade1984 13:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

You can only help me by not being affected by June's death and by thinking good things, leading a positive life and stuff like that which unfourtunately I can't do. I really don't want to trouble you and bring you down with all my worries. I'm used to living it all with myself. I only just couldn't handle the shock of this one...Thank You!Jade1984 15:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

And can you please block the Craig Nicholls page. I don't know how you do it. According to June, in her last edit(it's on her page) the article was being vandalised. Maybe I think we should block it for her, as, you know...her last wish on wikipedia. But for your info, the article's not being vandalised anymore...but you can never be too sure about it, can you? Jade1984 15:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Jade1984 10:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Explanation? edit

I'm really sorry; I believe you that you were acting in good faith when you added "Victoria" to the list of deceased Wikipedians. However, there was - initially - some doubt about whether you were who you claimed to be, since (like Jade) you also joined a relatively short time before the announcement of Victoria's death.

Checkuser confirmed that Victoria Eleanor and Jade1984 are the same user - and also indicated that the person is not in England at all, but rather is in India.

I know this must be very distressing for you; you have my sincere apologies. DS 21:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

According to DS, an user-identity software I don't happen to know, recognised Jade1984 and Victoria Eleanor being the same person, and not being in Australia or England at all but in India, as it reads above. I still have trust on Victoria, June, Mary Jane or whatever her name is. So, basically, the suggestion is Victoria "killed" herself to dissapear. There are a few clues I guessed if that could be true and that I wrote above your comment on DS' talk page. Also, you can see too extra reasons on my talk page by Dreaded Walrus but still I don't know what's going on.
I don't know who to believe on. DS is an administrator who has no reason for bothering us this way. Also, is notable Jade seems to "be" a friend of Victoria's since childhood when she had said she had lost her contacts. Jade joined three days before Victoria's death, and has been editing The Vines' article, Victoria's main interest. Also, Victoria had said she came from Leeds, UK, before December 2006. She did live in Leeds, but apparently she had been in Australia for a while before that message. She herself stated she spoke Hindi. India. It fits.
At the very moment, I think Victoria Eleanor is not dead. And I still hope that.--Fluence 03:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Just read your comment. If we're being tricked, is by Victoria Eleanor herself. Why?, because she hasn't edit since her "death" and was an active user. Maybe she wants to cover something but I can't guess what. Her page was being constantly vandalised by The Mekon and others but it's still a weak reason--Fluence 03:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I remembered a key point. Just after Victoria's death announcement by Jade, I wrote "See you soon" for Victoria. However, Jade thought I meant that and I was managing to kill myself for losing Victoria or something (which I would never do even if I lost a relative) and wrote on my talk page: "What, do you think she's alive...?". Later, as Jade saw I wasn't responding, she began to worry. She hardly knew me. How could someone worry like that. Anyone on Wikipedia would but Victoria. Blame on herself maybe? She still hasn't responded.--Fluence 03:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

The "user-identity software" is checkuser. It is a feature that allows certain people (it is a higher-level tool than Admin) to check every IP address used by a particular user, and to see what other usernames have been used by those same IP addresses. This is normally used to avoid sockpuppetry. In this instance, I'm assuming it was found that the usernames User:Victoria Eleanor and User:Jade1984 were operated from the same IP address, therefore confirming that they are actually the same real-life person. User:DragonflySixtyseven will not be lying about this, he is telling the truth. Basically, the summary is: The person that used the names Victoria Eleanor and Jade1984 is still alive. --Dreaded Walrus t c 03:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

And another thing edit

You may want to put a message on your user page saying that when you are not logged in, your edits are done using the IP 70.186.172.75. I spent a while looking through the edits of that IP, wondering who it might be, until you left a comment on my talk page with that IP, then changed it to show your name using this account. It would probably best to include a similar message on User:70.186.172.75's user page, too. It would just make it easier for people to follow your edits when you forget to log in, and would help null any possibly accusations of sockpuppetry.

Done. Arundhati lejeune 03:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Blocking policy edit

I have to say, the question of whether to block the Jade1984 account is a tough one. The "Victoria" account was blocked when we thought that, oh no, she died - that's standard practice, to make sure the account doesn't get compromised. But the Jade account hasn't actually done anything wrong - not in such a way that would definitely earn a block, anyway. No vandalism.

To be honest, I think Jade/Victoria is probably too embarrassed to continue editing, now that she realizes we know that they're the same person - you'll note that she hasn't made any edits since being exposed. However, I think that if she wants to come back, and posts on her talk page - as Victoria - that she's not dead and is sorry - we'll forgive her, and unblock her. DS 03:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


? edit

59.183.185.37 left a message on my talk page, saying she's back. Though I thought it was vandalism or something, the IP shows no previous history so it could be both a vandal or Victoria. See here: User talk:Fluence#-- --Fluence 23:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

That IP does resolve to India - New Delhi, in fact. What that means, who knows. DS 19:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
It could be her. Out of 203 countries, it's probable.--Fluence 23:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok hello there, i've just read the above message and i'm in complete awe as to how you map IP addresses. Can you explain how you do it if you can? Please...you can reply here, i'm not a member. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.183.187.35 (talkcontribs).

There are numerous free services which can be found online, that offer the ability to find out information regarding IP addresses. One such example would be this page (replace the IP address there with whatever one you want to find out about). --Dreaded Walrus t c 08:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey! edit

Thanks! Sorry for everything lately. Been an idiot, no new news! Well i'm officially back and raring to go! See my contribs. And i've also got a good command over free-use images(or somewhat), since none of them have been deleted(thankfully) yet! Jade1984 11:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi edit

I really need your help...i've created this page The vines discography, but the problem is that I wanted it edited as The Vines Discography(note the capitals). I guess I missed the capitals. Is it possible to correct it? Or should I copy and paste on to another page? And please check the image I uploaded on the same page(the first one called 'Factory'). Is that OK too? Thanks a lot! Jade1984 13:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

You Rock edit

No you seriously do!! That project and template is very cool and awesome. Thank You so much Arundhati...Ahem... Vines member :D Jade1984 14:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

And...is there any way that I can include The Vines Discography link into the The Vines article without making it look stupid or too obvious. And i've also put the peer review link of The Vines on to the talk page of the article, so people would hopefully consider that and then make their edits. Jade1984 15:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

But...just a thought...I think the peer review's pretty hard. You know, i'm actually starting to think that, The Vines is an essay i'm writing for my English Exam, in which i'm surely going to flunk :(! I don't know, I just can't take critism too lightly, I know that's bad but...I just can't take it. Though i'm still doing my best at improving the article, I still think that critics have got no other work to do than to critisise. The real fun'll come, when we just don't give them the chance to. Hopefull that day comes pretty soon. Anyway thanks once again! Jade1984 15:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I'd like to nominate Craig Nicholls for peer review...how do I do it? And also we have a third member in the vines project-Fluence. Jade1984 05:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Unspecified source for Image:Singhbadcollegeofengineeringlogo.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Singhbadcollegeofengineeringlogo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC).

Motorhead portal/project edit

The 'to do' list on there doesn't seem right, maybe it'll appear when the page is created. I looked around for a base 'to do' to copy and got bored and gave up quickly, it's been a long day already.

Briana Banks assessment edit

First - thanks! I really appreciate that you're joining in!

However, I don't agree with marking the Briana Banks article a stub. Remember, a stub is no more than 3-10 sentences, this article is at least twice that, and it's quite thoroughly referenced. I don't know if I'd go as far as the guy who marked it B-Class for {{WPBiography}}, since it only has one subsection, no picture, and not that much text; but I do think it is at least a Start-Class.

Oh, I should probably write somewhere that article quality ratings should be consistent between projects. Importance can differ according to subject (Isaac Newton was a very notable physicist, but only a moderately important Anglican), but the quality ratings should all be the same. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 18:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Silk and Shakeela edit

I have just come across you're work on the article Shakeela and Silk Smitha. Thanks. But, I don't think the rationale and summary on Shakeela picture is going to hold against deletion. Screenshots are fair-use "only" in the articles on relevant films, unless the subject is dead. You can upload an image of Silk instead. The fair use rationale for her image would look something like the following:

==Fair use rationale==

  • The subject is dead and no free repleacable image can be produced. (WP:NFC#1)
  • It is represntative of the Indian soft porn industry and the subject's career, and comes from a well-known film. (WP:NFC#4 and WP:NFC#5)
  • Used for information and education purpose in the article on the subject. (WP:NFC#7, WP:NFC#8 and WP:NFC#9)
  • Low res to avoid hindering its commercial use by the copyright holder. (WP:NFC#2 and WP:NFC#3)

If possible, I'd request you to start an article on Layanam, and post the news to my talk page. I must also tell you that I had attempted in the past to have a category on Pornstars of Indian Origin (featuring Nadia Nyce, Angela Devi and others), but it got deleted (see here).

I'd love to collaborate on ring of articles and images on the South Indian soft porn industry, as well as central index of all pornstars of Indian and/or South Asian ancestry). If you are interested just drop me a line. Aditya(talkcontribs) 09:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:White_Line_Fever_Lemmy.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:White_Line_Fever_Lemmy.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 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. Rlest 11:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

How to fix it edit

To keep your monobook.js out of Category:Unassessed biography articles replace:

assessmentMyTemplateCode = ["{{WPBiography|class=|importance=}}", "{{Pornproject|class=|importance=}}", "{{Film|class=|importance=}}"];

with:

assessmentMyTemplateCode = ["{"+"{WPBiography|class=|importance=}}", "{{Pornproject|class=|importance=}}", "{{Film|class=|importance=}}"];

Hope this helped; for any questions drop a note on my talk page. Psychless 16:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

{{Mohead-stub}} edit

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:Shakeela.jpg edit

 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Shakeela.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NAHID 10:22, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Template:AV Idols edit

Hi, Arundhati lejeune. I like that template-- great idea. Only one questionable thing about it is that a few exclusively pink film actresses are on the template. I'll remove those, since a pink film and an AV are different critters. (Maybe later, when we get more articles on pink film actresses, we can start a separate template for them.) I really like the idea of the template, and hope you don't mind if I think about ways to tinker with it later. Regards. Dekkappai 18:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've removed them, but notice some odd word-wrapping in the template. Maybe you know how to get the template to not break the names between lines? If I get the time today, I'll try starting up a template for the pink film actresses as well. Dekkappai 19:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi again, Arundhati. I've started on the pink film template here: User:Dekkappai/Work space/pink film, but there's a problem... There is some overlap between the two-- some pink film actresses acted in a few AVs, and some AV idols appeared in a pink film or two... We wouldn't want both templates to be on some articles, because of a lot of redundant information... Maybe we need just one larger "Japanese pornography/erotic cinema" template?... I'll hold off on doing anymore work on it for now. Dekkappai 21:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Arundhati. I completely agree with the idea of unifying these articles with the template, and have been considering something like it for a while. My lack of skill in creating these things has held me back. I think the best thing would be to create one template for Japanese erotic cinema. It would include sections for AV idols, pink actresses, directors, writers, films... with each subsection collapsible so as not to overwhelm the page. I'm playing with the idea right now here, but, as my skills are pretty lacking, running into some difficulties. Dekkappai 22:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Arundhati-- Before we add the template to all the Japanese erotic cinema, (non-AV as well as AV), shouldn't the name be changed? Also, perhaps just "Directors" is better than "Pink film directors", since I've got plans to start an article or two on AV directors eventually, and not all Pink film directors direct pink films exclusively. Dekkappai 23:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK-- keep up the good work-- I've got to go now. Dekkappai 23:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
The new version looks great! There's only one writer I'd put in the template (Oniroku Dan), so maybe that's not enough to start up a whole heading right now. Looking forward to adding new items to the template bit by bit later. Dekkappai 21:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Gravure Idols and Japanese Erotic Cinema edit

Please stop adding the Japanese Erotic Cinema tags to gravure idol pages - it is not appropriate. A gravure idol is no more part of the Japanese erotic cinema industry than a bikini or swimsuit model is a part of the porn industry. Looking at the list of actors, directors and movies in the box, the idol genre does not fall under the same category. Further, idols would be more appropriately listed as talent or part of the general Japanese entertainment industry.

Indeed, while there are cases of the gravure idols switching to JAV (i.e. Aoki Rin or Karin are recent examples), they are the exception and not the rule. IMO it seems you're confused as to what a gravure idol is and commonly perceived limitations of the genre, the two main being:

1) No sex acts, 2) Nudity is kept at a minimum and the majority of idol videos contain none

If you have a compelling reason to add these tags I'd be interested to hear them, but it provides people who come to these pages with an incorrect impression of the idol genre. Zatoichi 03:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

portal moves edit

sry to bother you, but i'm unfamiliar with why the naming conventions would force LA to be added to the end of the portal name. The conventions are similar for portals as they are for articles, unless there is an equally well known Baton Rouge... it sems fine to leave it as is (see Portal:Chicago). -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 00:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Saaya Irie.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Saaya Irie.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

JEC template edit

Hi, Arudhati. I think it's best not to put the Japanese Erotic Cinema template on articles about gravure idols, singers & mainstream actresses. It really doesn't belong on non-erotic performers. And not only is it inaccurate, it seems to be attracting deletionists... So I'm removing them, and trying to add to the articles a little. Dekkappai 22:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Shauna every mans fantasy.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Shauna every mans fantasy.jpg. 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 '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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:AnaraGupta.jpg edit

 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:AnaraGupta.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NAHID 07:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Non-free use disputed for Image:Cronos Venom.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Cronos Venom.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Image source problem with Image:Asianbabes.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Asianbabes.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC).

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 in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 18:13, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:49, 18 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
