Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi VWphaetonfan, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|VWphaetonfan]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 04:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Volkswagen Type 2 (T4)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Volkswagen Type 2 (T4), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Volkswagen Eurovan. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to move Volkswagen Eurovan by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Will you please stop cut&pasting content around as you did now to Volkswagen Type 2 (T5) and attribute the original authors properly? --Oxymoron⁸³ 10:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Oxymoron I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt see I have chatted in your talk page ;)--VWphaetonfan (talk) 11:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I've answered there --Oxymoron⁸³ 11:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: Image:Passat R36 Wagon.jpg

Image:Passat R36 Wagon.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:Blue Passat R36 Wagon Adelaide.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Blue Passat R36 Wagon Adelaide.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 18:19, 9 November 2008 (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.
