Line breaks

edit

Attn: burrito privileges say so many of these talk topics are mundane. I've just gone through Concert etiquette and again merged broken lines into single-line paragraphs. Can you please not break lines, especially at seemingly arbitrary points? Although it does nothing to the layout, it makes it easier when viewing 'diffs' if at least every sentence is completely on one line, if not a whole paragraph. Thankyou. --Imroy 12:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:MaVlastSmetanaT1.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:MaVlastSmetanaT1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits made to Eddie Perfect

edit

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Coughinink! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \bvids\.myspace\.com\b, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 02:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


The article Frederick Sheppard Grimwade has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MastCell Talk 22:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Frederick Sheppard Grimwade

edit

In response to your note, I've un-deleted Frederick Sheppard Grimwade. Since there's a source, it would be good to assert his notability in the article. Technically, yes, he is notable by virtue of the office he held, but an encyclopedia article should tell us more than just that he was elected and his dates of birth and death. But I'm sure with more time you can expand it. Anyhow, sorry for deleting it, and it should be back up for you to work on. MastCell Talk 23:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, I will be doing that soon. had just set up the placemarker. thanks

Frederick William II of Prussia

edit

I concur with your comment and decided to take action. Although I've never made such an edit before, it certainly seems warranted in this case and it's a practice I'm willing to defend if it comes down to it. Following your lead was the inspiration, so you're to be commended for stating your objection. With regards from your fellow pedant (and a professional at that!), -- Deborahjay (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
