If an editor removes a comment from their talk page, whether the comment is legitimate or not, do not add the comment back again. Respect their wishes. It's counter-productive to force the issue.

I just wanted to let you know I removed your prod from this article because it was not a hoax. In the future it might be worth taking a minute to check Google to determine if something may be a hoax or not. That said, the article definitly requires cleanup and possibly may not meet notability requirements.Rcurtis5 (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Investor Education

edit

Just wanted to request you go back and look at the Investor education site that was labelled as written like an advertisement. I've finally had a chance to get back there and add some content/references. I hope this will result in the tag being taken down. If not, let me know and I'll keep working away to try and get it inline with Wikipedia guidelines.

Wavebird

edit

I could be doing this wrong Looks like our talk page its been a while since I have edited wikipedia. Anyways I wanted to refute a few of your changes to the WaveBird Article. I would like to point out that I did site the IGN article to point out that the Logitech Cordless Action controller came out with in months of the Wavebird same year and likely with little influence. The only section I edited other then a few wording changes that I felt are misplaced in the article are related to the WaveBirds influence on the current generation. And even with its sources before mine I doubt any one can find Sony and Microsoft admitting that they loved the wave bird so much they made there wireless controllers after it.

The line about 802.11x might be a little biased I can find a source if you want, but the existence of the Logitech Cordless Action is not and has a reasonable source to site when it came out. This is something more for the talk page of the article and I will keep up with it over the next few weeks to get an opinion before changing it again, but I do feel that your reversals are in error. At least in the influence section. Sorry for not doing all edits at one time, but I like to edit by section so there is less source hints the 4 edits as I was getting the article in order. The final change you made was putting back that the Wavebird is Unique because it was an RF device on 2.4Ghz which is really naive to me. 2.4ghz tech has existed in Keyboard/Phones/Mice/Remotes/ and many other devices long before 2002 the WaveBird was unique because it was first party not because it used radio communication. That edit only cleared things up in the article. I ask you think about your changes for me after what I have said. If you want I can provide more sources related to wireless tech and its age, but I think the already included links to wireless will back up my statments about the 2.4ghz range.

Thank you for your time I really try to keep Wikipedia clean, I just wanted to stay anon this time as it was a small edit. Kept anon because I needed you to recognize the IP

Re [1]

Please note that the placement of a block notice does not cause a user to be blocked; blocks must be effectuated by administrators. Non-administrators may request that users engaging in vandalism be blocked at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. John254 18:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Generally, users become sysops after making a successful application at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. While there are no formal criteria for adminship, a successful request for adminship generally requires that the candidate has:
(1) at least several thousand edits
(2) some significant participation in the creation of encyclopedic content, the Wikipedia namespace, and RC Patrol
(3) not engaged in recent, significant policy violations or other disruption
(4) avoided recent participation in significant disputes or other controversy with other good-faith users.
At the moment, I am not a sysop. John254 19:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Whoa! You should definitely not take John's word for it, Daven, because he's massively overstating what it takes to become a sysop (admin is the common term, actually). Basically all it takes is that you show some dedication to the project, and show that we can trust your judgment. For dedication, pick your own area, it really doesn't matter. For judgment, it may actually help if you were engaged in a dispute, because this tells us how you deal with disputes. One that starts screaming and insulting people in a dispute is not a good admin; one who deals with it level-headedly and resolves it somehow likely is. It really isn't such a big deal. >Radiant< 08:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Block messages

edit

Hello! Firstly, thankyou for your hard work reverting vandalism and doing other tasks around Wikipedia, it is greatly appreciated. However, please remember that you cannot block users simply by placing a block notice on their talk pages; only an administrator has the power to block IPs and users. The IP 63.226.201.123 has now been blocked by my request but in future you can report users for vandalising at the administrator intervention against vandalism noticeboard. If the user has a full set of warnings and are actively vandalising then they will normally be blocked and thus, prevented from editing. If you have any questions about this or anything else, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. Happy editing! --Farosdaughter 20:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Tsms header.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Tsms header.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:

Fair use rationale for Image:Arson hunterbrrok.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Arson hunterbrrok.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

The irony of life being that WP:NOTPOLICY is an essay as well, letting everyone know right up front editors are "not obliged to follow it."

Looking back at the comment, I never said "this is policy" or used language like "you must follow this." I simply brought up relevant essays and guidelines, (is that different than what you just did here?) And by the way this was all in response to you threatening to block people for doing things that the guidelines do not forbid them from doing, such as removing comments from their talk page. Again, Wikipedia:User_page#Removal_of_comments.2C_warnings.

Well, personally, I think a final warning for a first-time offender is too much and should receive a prior warning before a final warning (I think of it that if there's a final anything, there had to be something before a final).

Siswa Bazar

edit

Hi. I appreciate the work you do reverting real vandalism, but you realise that placing speedy tags on existing articles which have valid basic details and are verifiable constitutes as vandalism itself. I see its not the first time you have done this, but no administrator is going to speedy them. If you come across an article which is verifiable and has basic details in future but you find its notability questionable, try adding a {{notability}} tag instead or asking the editor to improve it first or simply take it to AFD which would have been the correct thing to do. Basically by placing an article up for speedy deletion you are not thinking of the overal encyclopedia and other users who find such articles completely acceptable and without any consensus in doing so is quite selfish. Please acknowledge this and be careful with using huggle and rollback. Keep up the good work reverting all those lemons. Cheers Dr. Blofeld 11:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

edit

I've removed this speedy deletion request as A7 specifically excludes schools specifically it applies to "An article about ... an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools)" [my emphasis]. Full speedy deletion criteria are here. This appears to be a high school and high schools are generally notable. However at the moment there is so little information that a redirect seems more appropriate. Dpmuk (talk) 12:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Alliance_Map.PNG)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Alliance_Map.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. Melesse (talk) 20:19, 1 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

POSSE Reading

edit

Please note that you did not complete the nomination for deletion of POSSE Reading by creating Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/POSSE Reading. I have now done so, but I would strongly recommend that you provide your reason for requesting deletion there. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your comment

edit

here - I removed a see-also to a link placed by a COI-editor pointing to a topic about himself, which duplicated an existing link on the same topic. Exactly what is your reason for the template on my user page? TEDickey (talk) 08:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Tedickey! Welcome to Wikipedia! I apologize for overlooking that, however, next time be sure to clarify the exact reasoning behind your removal of content otherwise it can be seen as vandalism. Which is not tolerated. Thanks! --Phoon (talk) 08:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
my comment was "remove redundant see-also", which I thought was enough explanation, particularly with the frequency that I do that particular type of maintenance. TEDickey (talk) 08:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well now you know otherwise! Have a good day! and again, welcome to Wikipedia. --Phoon (talk) 08:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re: Reinstate my ACC account.

edit

Hi, I'm not a tool admin in ACC. I checked the logs and it seems that it was Stwalkerster who suspended you for inactivity. Can you please ping him or one of the tool admins? Cheers, Bejinhan talks 09:30, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have reinstated access, per your request. Please take a moment to review the guide which has undergone a number of modifications recently. Regards Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 09:35, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Cabelas in alliance.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Cabelas in alliance.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (tc) 02:26, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Alliance Map.PNG

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Alliance Map.PNG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:47, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
