Image:Soviet Union flag large.png
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Well, we already have an image like that being used, called Image:Flag of the Soviet Union.png. Because of that, I am going to replace your image and have it deleted by WP:IFD. If you have any questions, let me know, please. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Image:Soviet Union flag large.png listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Soviet Union flag large.png, has been listed at. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —MetsBot 19:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC) Just procedure, thats all. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:13, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Olympic flags
The name of the flag image is less of a concern if you use WikiProject Flag Template IOC templates for those flags. Note that for individual Olympics a specific template has to be used to point to that Olympic's page, due to most countries having no Olympic portal page and also so the correct flag for that era can be used. Although can be used for general country setup there is no equivalent for individual years. So the first time a country is used in, for example, the values will have to be defined.

Revert of Iran flag
Hi there, any reason you reverted my new ? —behdad (talk) 01:37, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Whoops, I think I did that on accident. Sorry about that. You can go ahead and change it back, I didn't have any grounds for altering the image. --El Cid 04:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Wanted to ask a favor
There's currently a dispute on the Ryu (Street Fighter) discussion page (and the Chun-Li one) regarding having trivia about ties between Ryu and Chun-Li posted. I've cited the sources that verify that some works include such ties, but Locke Cole is being unbelievably immature and calling both edits fancruft when he can't prove that claim (fancruft is detailed). Since you'd previously helped edit Chun-Li's page with information regrading this, I'd appreciate if you'd contribute a word or two on either discussion page about why the trivia should stay (if you feel that way). Thanks. --James26 12:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Tokyo subway map
Your is nice! Any chance of multi-licensing it under Creative Commons by-sa, so it can be used on Wikitravel as well? And do you have the original vector graphics for the map? Jpatokal 04:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to help you out, but I'm really not sure on how to change the licensing on commons. If you could give some tips, I'll get rigt on it. And sorry, but I created the file originally in .png format using GIMP 2.0. El Cid 05:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for help with baseball team infobox
I just wanted to drop by and thank you for the constructive and refreshing way you handled my suggestion about the baseball infoboxes. I think that we can make it a cool template for international baseball. And you picked up the Template:Football kit methodology quickly--the Hanshin Tigers pinstripes look great!

Unspecified source for Image:P-P-P-Powerbook.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:P-P-P-Powerbook.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angr 11:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary
Would you consider releasing your recent edits to Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary into the Public Domain so I can use them on my own website. Thanks, 83.70.106.136 14:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * All of Wikipedia's text is licensed under the GFDL, individual editors can't decide how their edits are licensed. Of course, that means you can still use it on your website as long as you credit Wikipedia and don't put any restrictions on how it can be used. Go ahead and send me a link to your site when you put it on there, just for my own curiosity. El Cid 23:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. All editors to Wikipedia must license their contributions under the GFDL yes, however you still own the copyright to your text and you can do what you want with that copyright. Some editors will dual license (usually under a Creative Commons license) while other editors (like me) choose to release the copyright of their text and images altogether. So before you edited the Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary page all that text was in the public domain (as I wrote it). If you are willing to release your additions in to Public Domain all you need to do is:
 * 1) Say you are willing to do so on this talk page.
 * 2) Put  on your user page. (Note that this will release all your contributions into the Public Domain for as long as the template remains.)
 * 3) Add the text to the WikiKnowledge version or the article. This has the advantage that even though you would be releasing all rights to it, your name would show up in the page history. Here is a link to the article as you asked for it.

The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary has to be the best dictionary ever made. I find the skip system very easy to learn and use, and the dictionary contains so much information. I myself am currently working on a Japanese to English dictionary at WikiKnowledge. I didn't realize how much work would be involved when I started :). You're welcome to help out if you are so inclined.

Thanks, Gerard Foley 22:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The Multi-licensing guide explains this in more detail. Gerard Foley 22:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, I'd seen templates like that, but I thought it only refered to things like user pages and stuff. Sounds good to me, I'll go ahead and add that to my user page, and state explicitly here that I release the KKLD edit and all other text edits into the Public Domain. I'll add the edit into Wikiknowledge now too. El Cid 00:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much! I'll leave you to add the additions to the WikiKnowledge version of the article so you still get credit for it. Gerard Foley 01:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Moor link on your userpage
Hi, the link you have about your Moorish ancestry points to Moor, which is a disambiguation page. The page about the group of people called the Moors is at Moors. Also, Moorish redirects to Moors. I'd change it myself for you but that last user I did that for got mad. Brad T. Cordeiro 00:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Huh, must have changed since I added it. Thanks for the heads up, now people won't be any more confused by my fake ancestry than they might have been otherwise. ; ) El Cid 00:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your edits to the Major Street Fighter Characters infobox.
Both the Slam Masters and Captain Commando series/characters have been stated by capcom to be part of the main Street Fighter storyline (Slam Masters is obvious as Haggar appears in it and it's later referenced in the SF3 games for Hugo's endings as well as other official material; CapCom's storyline occurs within the future SF timeline and involves Metro City of that time). The unofficial characters got mention as they two have articles yet while called part of the street fighter series are not, yet still get mention to avoid confusion or someone possibly adding them to the main hub of the template as they used to be located. Thank you for trying to assist though.--Kung Fu Man 22:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Pewter Report page
hey speedy deleter,

i can't help but note that there are other magazine article pages on Wikipedia.

e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_%28magazine%29

as such, i'd appreciate you before weilding you arbitrary power.

thanks in advance.
 * The deletion of the Pewter Report article was due primarily due to Wikipedia's policies on conflict of interest. Since your username was the same as the article name, I could only assume you were writing an article about a project you are involved in an an effort to promote it. The article you posted seems it might also have a conflict of interest problem, so I might have to propose a deletion there as well.


 * Also, since I am not an administrator, I don't have the power to delete articles; I only proposed the deletion. User:Irishguy, an admin, was the one who deleted it. ― El Cid ∴∵ 22:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Brunching Shuttlecocks logo.gif
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Brunching Shuttlecocks logo.gif. 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:07, 15 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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nagahama.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nagahama.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Playlist.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Playlist.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Romanization for words of English origin
On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.

What this invitation is: What this invitation is not:
 * You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.
 * This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
 * This is not a vote on compromises either.

It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
