Orphaned non-free image (Image:SSA-logo.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:SSA-logo.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. -Senseless!... says you, says me 02:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I have removed your PROD from this article as there was already significant coverage referenced in the article and I have now added more.--Michig (talk) 09:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

List indenting
Hi 2, just letting you know that with this edit you broke the numbering in the list of comments - when you're indenting and replying to items in lists, you need to make sure each line starts with a # (i.e. use #::: rather than :::). If you don't, the unpredictable wiki-markup gets confused and thinks it's time to begin a new numbered list. I've fixed it and it's no big deal, just letting you know in case it comes up in the future. Thanks. ~ mazca  t 16:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Virginia Vallejo
Sorry for involving you in this matter any further, but I'd like to bring User:Danieloberstein's most recent edit into question, given the COI and sock-/meat-puppet concerns involved.

I do believe Virginia Vallejo and/or her representatives have all the right in the world to look out for accuracy in her biographical article, but I feel that should not place their edits (and their automatic reverts of the edits of others) above external scrutiny and Wikipedia policies. Juancarlos2004 (talk) 19:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

You removed my prod with the edit summary "removing ProD, it's a real place". I was unable to find any English language references in a quick Google search.

Confusing usernames
No, confusing usernames aren't against policy, and they're certainly not a block-worthy offense. There was an ill-advised policy that encouraged blocking them in 2007 -- and there are even some stubborn admins who continue to enforce it against those unfortunate newbies who don't, you know, find the username policy from 2007 in the history archives before registering -- but by now you won't see much support for putting it back.

Moreover, any policy that said it would be okay to instantly block "Rizaisdabestindawholewideworld" just over her name, while vandals get four warnings, would be contradicted by WP:UCS.

Articles for deletion/Game builders academy
I found a rant myself on one of my subpages (would've never seen it had i not saw it on my watchlist), so a DRV could be opened I guess if he wants to open one, but I'm still not seeing a reason either to restore it. Wizardman 15:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Opinion
Hi there - you commented on my "go away" post that Dougstech is entitled to his own opinion. You noticed that I posted a link where, in the middle of months of blanket-voting opposes for too many admins, he nominated one? At this point it ceases to be an "opinion", any more than a vandal has an "opinion" when he arbitrarily changes information in an article. This is trolling in its purest form, and I am amazed that people defend this behavior. Wikipedia does not, for good reason, have any sort of "free speech" policy. If you are disruptive to the various processes, you should be removed from the system. Tan  &#124;  39  03:20, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

You reported the name at both WP:AIV and WP:UAA within minutes of each other. Whilst I don't think it was your intention, it can be considered forum shopping. It's best to choose the best noticeboard to file a report and stick with it. Per the updated guidance at UAA, a name that is possibly a violation of policy, but that is truly spamming would have been best reported at AIV. Just a note for the future. <em style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#6600CC">Nja <em style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#63D1F4">247 20:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Notice
You might want to talk to users: Eevo, Errorman, Footballexpert, Koshiba, Magnum Serpentine, NeoDeGenero, Phoenixrising, Predius, Salt Yeung, Tialla, TheTruthiness, Valzn, Westsider, and Wildflower686. They seem to have copied your userbox template without removing the boxes. This caused me to ask them to join a project that they were never a part of. User TheTruthiness also claims to have been you at one point, and I know that this isn't the case, so i'm forwarding this to an administrator. Please respond because now I have to strikeout all that I just wrote on all their talk pages. Thanks. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:37, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Also user Sharonmarie392 also has that template. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:39, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That really stumped me at first. At least you know how to write something and not copy a template word for word. I noticed on one user's page that they hadn't edited in two years on the page, and the only recent edit was a bot edit. I think they might've copied uthe template at first, not knowing that you would expand it, and they were left with the consequences. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 14:25, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What's hilarious is that they never even bothered to fix the links on their pages. Now your subpages have many inadvertant links to them. The person I tested this theory on brags about having an IQ of 156. Alright then. I'm willing to just go on their pages, and paste in a clean template with the clean links if you think that it will help out this. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 19:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello!

You notified me that I copy the format from your user page, as well as your information in the page. I checked my user page, and it was true. However, I didn't manually copy your format, I didn't even know I have such a box in my user page.
