Hi Andy!

Aqua Connnect
Afiler- I was wondering if you could help me with the language in the article I put up on Aqua Connect. I went over the beginning part and changed the wording. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (Sorry if this is not the proper way to go about this!) MacJarvis (talk) 00:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Qwest Wireless
I did not know, editing now! --Romeo Bravo 00:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

American Public Media Group
Yeah thanks, I'd noticed that the article seemed to be marketing heavy. The IP address is in a range owned by MPR, so it could very well have been a marketing person. &mdash;Mulad (talk) 03:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

VLC Mac OS X problem with Vorbis files
Hello,

Have you tried to report the issues you are having to the VLC team? Would you do that, please?-- Saoshyant talk / contribs (please join WP:Portugal or WP:SPOKEN) 16:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Edge Wireless
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Edge Wireless, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair use rationale for Image:Burger time logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Burger time logo.gif. 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.

Unspecified source for Image:Burger time logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Burger time logo.gif. 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 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 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 15:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Edge wireless logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Edge wireless 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. BetacommandBot 05:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Unicel service area.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Unicel service area.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Caleb-uhd144.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Caleb-uhd144.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Figurines-band.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Figurines-band.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 22:40, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Washington State Ferries
Note: The Martha S. (Keller Ferry) is part of WSDOT, but it is not operated by the state organization which is named "Washington State Ferries". It is instead operated by a different group within WSDOT. The ferry is already listed in the Ferries in Washington State article, which is the appropriate place for it to be listed. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Security Innovation
Hi Afiler, you removed some stuff from the Security Innovation page on 19-Oct, but not all was marketing. Don't you think the list of products and their short description is still relevant and not marketing? They seem most important to me (I don't want to put it back myself, and override your change, in case you disagree). Thanks, Adarw (talk) 14:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

North Dakota NRHPs
Hi Afiler! Editor User:TheCatalyst31 has uploaded a number of your pics from your website of pics to List of RHPs in ND and related articles on NRHP-listed places in North Dakota. Thanks for contributing them! Me and some others are on track to start an article for every NRHP-listed place (out of >400) in the state pretty soon. I for one really enjoy having a pic to visualize a place when I am learning about and writing about a new-to-me historic site. Thanks, and keep up the good work. cheers, -- do ncr  am  23:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Whole Wheat Radio
Hello, I'm Shii. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Shii (tock) 07:19, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You don't like my choice to merge and redirect, but you haven't actually pointed out any errors, nor has anyone else. The talk page is blank except for name calling. Does it violate policy for user to manually merge an article? Shii (tock) 09:56, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Calling what you're doing a "merge" is being disingenuous. - Afiler (talk) 19:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I clicked on the image and found the source so I've removed your cite tag. I think that's all that is necessary. Dougweller (talk) 10:03, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
