Please feel free to add the text {{inuse}} to articles that you are in the process of editing. Better yet, write more of an article before posting it. Many people write tiny articles with only an external link in order to boost the Google PageRank of their sites, and we try to delete those quickly. FreplySpang (talk) 02:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

==Image source problem with Image:BobFM.jpg==
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:BobFM.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Cleanup taskforce
I added Thievery UT to your desk because you expressed an interest in PC games. Please take a look at it and accept, reject or let me know and I'll reassign it. It may also be ready for closure already. Thank you. RJFJR 20:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Cleanup Taskforce
Please feel free to assign yourself tasks from the list of unassigned tasks at Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce. Arranging assignments is too much work for me to do by myself. We have a large backlog of unassigned tasks and there is probably something in there that will interest you. RJFJR 22:12, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm extremely busy at the present time, and I've still got the Thievery UT cleanup pending. When I get that one finished, I'll see if I can help out there. --MaTrIx 02:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Image:Runescape Great War.png
Could you crop Image:Runescape Great War.png, so it will just show the game screenshot? Thanks, Nishkid64 (talk) 06:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I can, but this screenshot additionally illustrates the (now defunct) .exe standalone version of the game, as opposed to just loading it via webpage. Doesn't this add more encyclopedic value? Edit: As per your request, I have gone ahead and uploaded a cropped version of the image, and I do see that it would provide a better sense of symmetry to the article as a whole; however it does nonetheless lose the standalone aspect. Maybe the original would be more suitable for a gallery? --MaTrIx (talk) 07:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- I personally think a game-only screenshot would be more suitable, for the sake of consistency throughout the article. Nishkid64 (talk) 14:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- When changing the images out on the RuneScape article, I noticed that you rephrased the image caption that I added. Is it appropriate to apply the label "RuneScape Classic" to this image, even though it predates the title by several years? --MaTrIx (talk) 07:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, right it should be RuneScape 1. Nishkid64 (talk) 14:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
