Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Captive women.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Captive women.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 (talk) 18:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Football timings

Hi there. I notice you changed UEFA Euro 2008 knockout stage to show that Massimo Ambrosini's yellow card was given in the 30th minute. However, this is not the case. The clock may have shown 30 minutes plus "x" seconds, but this means that the match was in its 31st minute, not 30th. – PeeJay 19:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry my bad, sure you're right :-) Snailwalker | talk 19:24, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.

If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb {ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 16:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Michael Stopp

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Michael Stopp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No apparent evidence that he meets WP:BIO

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. decltype (talk) 00:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

• Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
• Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Snailwalker! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 940 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Peter Yates - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Louise Frevert - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Hans Klingenberg - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Who's on First?

Hi--I believe you just deleted my edit to Who's on First. I'm not vandalizing the page for the sake of adding profanity--this is a real, and as SMBC is popular enough to warrant its own wikipedia page I believe it's notable enough to warrant inclusion. See http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/132d2f8f13/smbc-theater-who-s-on-first —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.90.29.161 (talk) 18:24, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I see, it seems I made a mistake. I'm really sorry, I will revert the edits Snailwalker | talk 18:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brent Jackson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I don't know what you are talking about, I have never edited this article.Snailwalker | talk 14:40, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Charles petzold.png

Thanks for uploading File:Charles petzold.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:09, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Electron scattering feedback

Hi Snailwalker,

I'm writing to you regarding the Electron scattering stub I have been working on. I am a 4th year student at the University of Glasgow, and as part of my 4th year project I had to find an article on Wikipedia in need of improvement, writing, or expansion and implement a more effective article. The article I chose to improve upon was the electron scattering stub.

I saw you made constructive feedback about electron diffraction before and as the topics are related was wondering if you could take a look over my article. I am currently expanding the "Types of scattering" section, so it is a work in progress. Nevertheless it would be great to get your feedback.

Thanks, IndianFace (talk) 21:54, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
