An image that you uploaded, Image:Bridge jesus.GIF, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Sixtrojans 03:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Replying to your comments on my talk page here: the image you recreated is substantially the same as what appears on the Web site you referenced. Just because you used a graphic design program to recreate it does not give you the right to release it into the public domain. You may want to consult with an intellectual property attorney before you pursue this matter. --Sixtrojans 16:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

It definitely isn't a PD, but it may be Fair use. So currently, you are wrong. Cbrown1023 talk 21:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Do not delete comments from your talk page!

Service flag GA failed

edit

I have failed service flag as a GAC at this time for the reasons described on its talk page. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 07:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup of Schuerman

edit

In case you're wondering: I am cleaning up surname pages that got created by a now banned wikipedian. One of your surname pages (Schuerman) followed the exact same bad pattern, therefore I cleaned it up as well (per WP:SU). Since you didn't provide any people with the exact same spelling of the surname, cleaning up your page meant merging useful content into Schürmann and putting all other redirects up for speedy deletion. – sgeureka tc 09:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Flywheel (film)

edit
 

The article Flywheel (film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources, assertion of notability or any mainstream coverage. Self-promotional

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SuaveArt (talk) 01:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Articles for deletion nomination of Flywheel (film)

edit

I have nominated Flywheel (film), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flywheel (film). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. SuaveArt (talk) 04:13, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:59, 3 November 2015 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
