Will Try

Nice userpage, and talk page quite similar to mine. I expected a message, but not from the Future Fantastic article. It's nice to see a Wikipedian who's not too cocky to admit that he doesn't know the details of something. I normally don't edit due to the whole edit war situation that tends to go on, but since I have your permission I'll try to do that sometime. Also, have a look at my Wikidiaries and offer some feedback. Don't be a stranger. Dessydes 14:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

So I have to persuade someone to allow not just Wikipedia to use the image but anyone to use, abuse, and do anything they want with the image .... If they realise that then no-one will give permission and we will be back to no images or amateur images ... excluding any I take - Even I won't release pictures of real people under those conditions! ^Jaster 09:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you realize everytime you contribute text to Wikipedia you're allowing not just Wikipedia to use the text but anyone to use, abuse, and do almost anything they want with the text? How would you feel if someone tell you that someone in Mexico or Nigeria is selling a magazine about sci-fi celebrities using text you contributed to Claudia Christian's article? --Abu Badali 14:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all - that is text about the person ... If i say something about someone it is correct/slander/libel whatever but is only belived by a (very) few ... do you believe everything you read .. but a picture is (however wrongly) believed to be true "the camera never lies" ... The big difference on Wikipedia is that most of the text is not by one author but many (I would be surprised if a single whole article was written by one person) and is almost all written by wikieditors but a picture is by one person and not often by the wikieditor submitting it and is not (generally) edited once it is on Wikipedia and so remians by the origninal author and attributed to that wikieditor - The problem with pictures on Wikipedia is do we want any? If we allow copy-protected ones we have to ask for permission to use anywhere (not just wikipedia) and most people won't give permission, if they are genuinely informaed what that means? Or we only use public domain/free/commons pictures and have an encyclopedia with very few pictures? ^Jaster 14:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Space Science

Header links are strongly deprecated in the MoS (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), and AWB removes them by default. Nevertheless I apologise for removing the link without replacing it in text, which would be my usual practice. Best wishes, --Spellmaster 13:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Future Fantastic

I was too lazy before to work on the article, also the details failed me as well. I managed to record the first 2 episodes so far, and have started editing. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Keep in touch. Dessydes 09:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AlbumCover_Area51_Concept.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AlbumCover_Area51_Concept.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 05:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

UKNova

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I nominated UKNova for AfD because using the guidelines of WP:WEB, I didn't feel the article was up to the standards set by those guidelines. The Guardian article was really more about the Dr. Who episode, and the Times article was only a passing mention. My voice was one of several, and I am not an admin, so the final decision was not mine to make. It may be a bit of a backwards way of looking at it, but in a way, the actions taken were a good thing. You never know when the *AA's may be snooping around looking for another torrent site to shut down. I wouldn't want Wikipedia to be party to shutting off my favorite sites.

Re: List of BitTorrent websites

Feel free to remove the {{dated prod}} tag and maybe take it to AfD. If the sites are prominent, then people already know about them and linking them doesn't serve much purpose. What criteria do you use to decide which sites are prominent? Note that Wikipedia is not a repository of links. I agree the "prominent" wording is a problem in the template, and would prefer to remove those two rows altogether, linking to BitTorrent client and the categories only. If you'd like to convert the current list into an informative table like BitTorrent client, then go ahead, though I don't see as many useful rows for trackers and indexes. For Empornium, you can nominate it for deletion if you think it's non-notable (the TargetPoint controversy suggests notability, but Google News returns only 2 foreign sources). –Pomte 18:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:[Ynysybwl]

Are you sure about the spelling? Keep in mind, I'm talking about the past tense verb, not the present tense or the noun. I've checked some British websites on Google for their spellings with the phrase "has led to" and "has lead to"(as in the Ynysybwl article) and and here are three of my results:

• British Library
  • uses of the phrase "has lead to" (about 58 when I tried it)
  • uses of the phrase "has led to" (about 1280 when I tried it)
• The Independent
  • uses of the phrase "has lead to" (about 13 when I tried it)
  • uses of the phrase "has led to" (about 859 when I tried it)
• UK government
  • uses of the phrase "has lead to" (about 12700 when I tried it)
  • uses of the phrase "has led to" (about 194000 when I tried it)

I think these indicate that "led" is the accepted spelling in this situation, even in British English, and the use of "lead" here is a very common error. If you disagree, tell me. If you agree with my assessment, please restore any edits of mine that you reverted. --Joel7687 03:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

This is absolutely correct: the use of "lead" in that context is in fact an error. DS (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Honey-(Ohio Players album).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Honey-(Ohio Players album).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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there.Saw your deletion - which I wasn't surprised about - only how quickly it happened.

File source problem with File:Honey-(Ohio_Players_album).jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Honey-(Ohio_Players_album).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.

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 01:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 01:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the article Claudia Christian. I was depressed that I wasn't notified about the image deletion until it was too late. I'm really happy you knew how to fix it.  :-) —Aladdin Sane (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Taboo (Claudia Christian album)

A tag has been placed on Taboo (Claudia Christian album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

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'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. 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) 17:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
