talkpage archiving

Hi is there some reason you feel the need to unarchive discussions from before , 16 October 2011 on the Brown talkpage? They are all over eight months old - it is totally normal to archive such old talkpage discussion? Youreallycan 09:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Question

Just curious, do you still want this userspace draft? I notice you haven't touched it since 2008. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

UK great power status

I'm afraid they're still trying to get rid of the mention of great power status in the United Kingdom article, or at least water it down. Seems like a typical POV attack by a number of editors (though they pretend otherwise). We may need some assistance from other long-standing members to sort this out.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Aberdeen city council.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Aberdeen city council.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
