Holocaust edit

Hi, I appreciate your fight against vandalism, but it was not my aim to vandalize I just found that the only remarks I got were personal attacks, so I thought I'd delete the topic again. While I have no problem if my IP is stored I find it strange that it is published without a warning. We are unfortunately not living in an ideal world. Is there a chance to delete the topic "Who knew about the Holocaust?" permanently? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.62.6 (talk) 05:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm assuming good faith, but I'm afraid it's still bad policy to delete posts on discussion pages, except in extreme situations. (Check out the talk page guidelines for more information.)

By the way, if you're interested in contributing to Wikipedia, feel free to get an account! That way, your IP address will no longer be logged. --Tschel 05:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for the information. Due to the reactions I assumed it would also be in the interest of the other posters to delete the topic. Although I doubt I will get a normal answer, I will ask the other person about it. If he agrees, who is going to delete it? The guidelines don't seem to mention that. Sorry for the trouble I cause. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.73.45.72 (talk) 06:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

OK, I understand that the person in question is obviously an editor himself, so he can delete it, if he likes. Thanks again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.73.11.195 (talk) 06:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Covenantlifelogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Covenantlifelogo.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.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 17:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Covenantlifelogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Covenantlifelogo.jpg. I noticed that 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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 17:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 17:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Covenantlifelogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Covenantlifelogo.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 19:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

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.
