Bon Voyage

Smee, you will be missed greatly during this break, and we all hope to see you again in the near future. You are a great asset to Wikipedia. Hope to see you soon, and Bon Voyage! Good luck! -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you. Smee 06:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Have this also:

		The Special Barnstar
		No single barnstar does the trick, so I'll give you this. For being such a wonderful asset to Wikipedia, and such a great and untiring contributor, Smee receives this Special barnstar from Anonymous Dissident. Good luck on your break! -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

• Sniff sniff. Thank you. Smee 06:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC).
  • :). No worries. You do deserve it, and you also probably deserve a break from your hard work. Give yourself some time off, you know? Anyway, you are most welcome. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Will do. Smee 06:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Does this apply to all wikis? If it doesn't I'll see you there, if it does enjoy your break and I really dig the picture on your notice ;) Anynobody 08:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy your break, but you will be greatly missed. Come back soon! We'll have far less new featured/good articles while you're gone. Cheers,  hmwith  talk 15:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Smee 16:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Hi Smee, While I think that delisting the article was a little overenthusiastic on mcginnley's part, at least the comments made were constructive. As part of the architectural project, I imagine that mcginnley has a very strong view on what an article about a building should contain. Cheers, have a nice break, Trishm 09:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Sounds good, and thank you. Smee 20:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:DarrenMack.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DarrenMack.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. ShakespeareFan00 15:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:EST Danger Process.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:EST Danger Process.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
