help
{{helpme}} On the Karmichael Hunt page, right down the bottom, the templates {{Brisbane Broncos Premiership}} and {{Persondata}} don't register and simple appear. Why don't they work, they were working fine previously. SpecialWindler talk (currently in control) 04:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- You (or someone else) may have added something that has disabled the template. You should consider reformatting the template. -Goodshop 05:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The Editor's Barnstar | |
For not being afraid to remove text (as is the gist of this award) when necessary on The Chaser's War on Everything, and for always putting for a logical and well thought out point of view that will ultimately bring the article forward. If it gets listed as a GA (it's currently at GAC), your contributions will have been highly significant towards that, so nice work! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:18, 21 October 2007 (UTC) |
Date format in info-box
User User:Skyring has begun to edit dobs in RL info-boxes, see here. Is there a way to present the date in d/m/y that will satisfy those who cannot read m/d/y without losing the 'age' feature? ~ Florrie • talk • 01:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Chris Taylor
hi. i was just wondering since you uploaded the image of chris taylor, if you might know if there are any more free licensed images of him lurking around the internet. i only ask because the current image on his page is rather unflattering, but its hard to find any better.

Preity Zinta FA
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

SoO Template
Joel could I get your help. Am writing SoO series article for 1987 on my workspace. User:Sticks66/Work Space 4 That was the year when there was the fourth exhibiton game in LA. I think I have replicated the layout for game 3 to apply for game 4 but I am missing something. Is is possible that the template only allows for three games ? Can you let me know if you can't assist me. Thanks -Sticks66 13:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

State of Origin Infobox.
Hi Joel. Am wanting to have all the series articles look consistent. Up till 1996 they have an Infoxbox with the ARL logo-I propose leaving these in place. 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007 have no infobox and no logo. 1999, 2005 & 2006 have the Harvey Norman SoO logo but no infobox. Could I ask you to create an Infobox which has the Harvey Norman logo at the top and tell me where it resides so I can grab it an use it in articles for the appropriate years. I will use the ARL logo'ed box for other years. -Sticks66 01:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
images for chaser apec prank
remember the image of julian morrow and the motorcade that was removed from the war article, because there were too many fair use images? is that still around? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasewase (talk • contribs) 10:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I worked so hard on it and now Deborah Kerr has acheived GA Status ! It is a James Bond article as she was the Bond Girl on Casino Royale (1967 film). Deborah Kerr is the second Bond Girl on Wikipedia to have a GA Status article, the first being Eva Green who was the Bond Girl on Casino Royale (2006 film). So both Bond Girls on Casino Royale are now GA's !
She was 46 and as beautiful as ever. She holds the record for being the oldest Bond Girl in any of the James Bond films. Yet another GA for the James Bond Project !

OTRS via flickr mail
Hey, I saw what Daniel said at the Karmichael Hunt FAC about sending permissions to the OTRS system. You can still email them details of the confirmation even though it was obtained via flickr mail. I know because i've done this. Just copy and paste all the correspondence into an email message, and explain in detail how you and the copy-right holder communicated. So say that all correspondence was via flickr mail and that you have copied and pasted it. Also you may want to state the username's of you and the other person so it can be confirmed if necessary. Hopefully this helps you. - Shudde talk 23:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Karmichael_Hunt_2.jpg
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Karmichael_Hunt_2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. -- RG2 06:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- An additional note: Image:Karmichael Hunt 3.jpg looks great! Thanks for finding us that image. But the conversation you had in regard to the image above was clearly different, as the copyright holder never really explicitly agreed to make the image free. -- RG2 06:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
George Martin
Why is George Martin listed as a Bond GA article when there is nothing on the the George Martin talk page to indicate that ? George Martin was the producer of the Beatles.
There is nothing in the George Martin article to indicate any connection with Bond.
Can you remove it ?
Thanks,

Your signature
Hi. Just letting you know that having your status in your signature (transcluding User:StatusBot/Status/SpecialWindler) isn't a good idea, as having templates in signatures aren't accepted due to the strain the put on the servers every time the page is updated and because it is transcluded on all pages you post on, effectively making it prone to vandalism. I strongly suggest you remove it. Cheers, Spebi 07:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Your copyedit request
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/01/CopyeditorIcon3.png/75px-CopyeditorIcon3.png)
On June 10, 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Karmichael Hunt. Due to a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we apologize. Since your request, this article may have been subject to significant editing, and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. SlackerMom (talk) 20:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it OK to use free images on User pages/user talk pages? I don't want them to be removed? SpecialWindler talk 06:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- As long as they are free use, and not fair use, yes, it is ok to use them. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 06:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it sure is. The only images restricted are Non-free images. I hope this helps :-) Pumpmeup 06:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Chaser Wikiproject
I notice the work in your sandbox for a Wikiproject, but I thought you might be interested in a proposal I made last year about a wiki dedicated to the Chaser - I proposed it on Wikia here - http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:The_Chaser . The benefit is that any level of detail would be appropriate, and obviously since it wouldn't be part of Wikipedia, there wouldn't be strict rules about notability or references. What do you think? -- Chuq (talk) 06:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Footyshow nrl hdr 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Footyshow nrl hdr 1.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) 21:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Living daylights afd
Disappointing Vikrant didn't discuss this with his peers in the project first. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of James Bond henchmen in The Living Daylights ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
It is precisely why the James Bond project exists to look after the articles and discuss development ssuch as possible afds. It should never have gone striaght to afd without a project discussion. I wouldn't object to merging the lists by film into List of characters in the Living Daylights etc and looking to improve encyclopedic information and references. This issue should be dicssued on the project talk page ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 14:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Another editor has added the {{prod}}
template to the article List of James Bond characters in Agent Under Fire, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 14:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi I am new on Wikepedia. I specifically wanted to leave a message for Florrie on her personal inquiry in one rugby page. I just don't see how to write to her, I have tried, got her pages and just don't "get it" on sending her a message. I didn't give an email address as it can be quite a shock letters you have written available to all and sundry who type your email address into the internet. That cuts out direct emailing. Soooo..Could you please advise me exactly how I effectively leave a message directly for her....much obliged and appreciative...you can get me directly if you wish on trencavel_cathar@yahoo.com as I don't go to Wik much ..this was my partcular reason for replying as I have some information for her...and I also speak French which may assist her..as she said she is French Cheers Demigrenouille —Preceding unsigned comment added by Demigrenouille (talk • contribs) 10:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
help
{{helpme}}
On Brisbane Broncos Honours, I am trying to place (and have done so) a picture under the heading "Club Honours". The picture is there, but how do I move (or could someone please do for me) the tables that were put under the picture back under the tables in line with the table. Like this version except with the picture on the right. Thanks SpecialWindler talk 08:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I tried but I have to get back to the real world. You need to define the width of the table below so that it canbe wrapped around the image. If you add style="width:75%; height:200px" border="1" after the align left in the line just after the image you will see what I mean. You will need to play with the numbers.

Hi there, here are two sources that confirm Tamara Cook as the director of Dead Caesar:
http://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/performance.asp?pID=224
God knows where anyone got the idea that Toby Moore directed it - he was merely in the cast, playing the central role of Caesar. As for the constant removal of that line from the Age of Terror page, I happen to know that it was misquote when it was first published in the Sun Herald and that Chris Taylor was unhappy with it back then, and certainly wouldn't want the misquote to be repeated in perpetuity on Wikipedia. Apart from anything else, it's also irrelevant to the entry. Chris was talking about proper dramatic theatre, not comedy stage shows.
