Quick Question
This might sound a little noobish, but here goes. I started a new article called Battle Bugs about the video game and am searching for a picture of the cover to go on my template. I found the picture, but it was on Amazon's website. My question is this can I use the photo from their website or do I need their permission or need to find another site with the same image that I can use? Please excuse my ignorance and thank you for your time. Cpuwhiz11 02:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Trigger Happy
Dear Administrator: I, like you, am an editor; I create articles and make edits. But, many, I am sure many other people out there, are tired, frustrated and angry with the behavior of many Administrators. I am certain that it is appallingly easy to revert and article, that someone has undoubtedly spent allot of time and effort writing. I have, in the past spent hours, researching, planning, writing, checking and revising an addition to an article only to have the whole lot deleted forever three minutes afterwards.

I know that deletion of material is essential in a free-to-edit encyclopedia, but if you see an article that someone has anonymously devoted their time to writing, why could you not revise it, change it or give a reason for you action? They deserve one.

I know all Administrators are not all Drunk-With- Power-Trigger-Happy-Nazis, many of you do an excellent job and you know who you are. The world owes you. I owe You.

In closing: Create, don’t Destroy. Make a distinction between “what is right, and what is easy”. Be enriched and enrich others with the knowledge of other people.

And keep that finger off the trigger.

Another silly question!
I noticed you added the edit counter to your page, and had an odd question. I really suppose I should ask Interiot, but I figured you were a real master at all the wiki-links and templates and such... Oh, oddly enough, I actually noticed the tools on AN/I before I saw you had it. :)

Anywho, say I wanted to set a link to the counter for your edits, I know I can write it like this: Admrboltz's Edit Counts but is there a way to make it a regular wiki link instead of a fully qualified URL? I've played with it a bit in Preview mode and have yet to come up with anything that works.

Thank you very much for your help in fixing the copy-and-paste move. At least the move from "Nintendo Revolution" to "Nintendo Wii" was correct. Now I just have to see if there are any other crazy copy-and-paste moves to fix. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 17:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Can you please explain why I'm blocked from editing?
I did not commit any vandalism. Ardenn is a very bad editor, and that is clear User_talk:Ardenn that Ardenn is really the vandal here. Nick Dillinger —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NDsockpuppet (talk • contribs).

 * I think it's a legitimate question, actually. Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, has to be written to encyclopedic standards. Noticing your variations in spelling and grammatical correctness, I'm personally of the opinion that you're actually brighter than you seem and are "playing down" in some fashion as an attempt at getting attention. While this might be amusing, I'd personally ask that you use your full capabilities to honestly and benevolently contribute to the Wikipedia and its associated culture. It's a shame that you'd rather divert editing skills to your personal attention-seeking activities instead, when you're obviously capable of giving so much more to the community. If you'd like to continue this line of conversation, I'd welcome you to chat on my talk page instead of filling up poor Admrboltz's. ^.^ ~Kylu ( u | t )  03:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:BostonCorbett.jpeg
You tagged Image:BostonCorbett.jpeg with {{subst:nsd}}. I disagree. While a more specific source is not provided, there is no dispute that a photograph of Boston Corbett would be PD-old at this time. Unless you disagree with this, the lack of a more specific source, while regrettable, is not sufficent to make it worth deleting, IMO.

Copyright abuses
Hello, this message is because of your comments at Requests for comment/Ta bu shi da yu 2. Because of the abuse of authority of User:Ta bu shi da yu, Tens of thousands of images have been deleted by a small handful of wikipedians, citing "fair use".

Would you be interested in joining a group on wikipedia which counters the heavy handed tactics of the copyright police. We can't fight them on our own. User talk:Ed g2s has began deleting fair use image on every person's user page and on several other pages, inspired by WP:FUC which was written by another paternal copyright policeman with absolutly no legal training and little understanding of copyright law. User:Ta bu shi da yu created the WP:FUC page and was responsible for deleting hundreds of Time magazine covers and refused to stop even after Time magazine sent an e-mail allowing wikipedia to use the images.

We stared this page, with this purpose: User:Travb/Misguided and heavy handed tactics of some admins regarding copyright

Please tell others about this project. The paternal copyright police are well organized and are intoxicated with their own trival power here on wikipedia. Like most authoritarian personalities, these misguided copyright fanatics have finally have overstepped the bounds of good sense and restraint, when they began deleting tens of thousands images from wikiusers' pages. Only a large number of wikipedians will stop this abuse. Travb 13:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Gaelic League wikipage
A group of individuals (from Ireland, the best I can discern from their homepages) keep deleting my edits to the Gaelic League wikipage by saying I am "a banned user"; I don't understand, if I were banned I couldn't be editing, could I?? Maybe it's a shared IP, I don;t know, I am not a computer scientist. They have even deleted my messages on the discussion page--is that wiki etiquette?? I don't want to contact them directly b/c I might say something that could be held against me as I do not like being censored.

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Newbie that can't figure out what copyright notice to use.
This must be real confusing, because there is nobody that will help me with this. Please see Course in Miracles (book). All of those images were already in other articles here, except for the one in the bottom corner, and the b/w image that I snip/cut/cleaned and re-uploaded.

Hi Admrboltz,

I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rogersvideo.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use Image:V600.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:V600.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 03:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Your passport
I stumbled on the picture of your passport on the United States passport site. You blanked out your middle name but it's still visible in the signature. I think it'd be a good idea if you just blacked out all personally identifiable info. D. Wu 17:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Allstream.gif
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Allstream.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 16:12, 7 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Mccawcellular.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mccawcellular.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 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. <b style="font-family:monospace, monospace; color:#009900;">Alpta</b> 17:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
