Regarding Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story!, how "public" are we talking? It actually first leaked to a "publicly" accessible place on certains parts of IRC, but I did not consider this important enough to note so I made it more general. Another reason I did that is because it that it was first leaked "privately" to a place that is better left undisclosed, but is found on the internet as well. I'll give you a little time to read this and respond, if you wish, before I change it again since the only reason I'm messaging you is so you don't revert it again. --Kamasutra 20:20, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lastdaysposter.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lastdaysposter.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. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 17:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Nirvana-Lovebuzzcover.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Nirvana-Lovebuzzcover.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:19, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

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.
