Kashmir region
Hi, I blanked it because some guy moved the page Kashmir region to Jammu and Kashmir area without discussion. I was trying to move it back and first (stupidly) did a cut and paste (but I realized that I couldn't bring the history over), so then I tried to do a revert "Move," but it wouldn't allow me since the Kashmir region page was already there and it couldn't be overwritten! So, I tried blanking it, but that didn't help either. Basically I want the page moved back from Jammu and Kashmir area to Kashmir region. Do you know how to do that by any chance? Thanks!

 * Well, I've kind of fixed it for now, but it will take an admin to fix it properly. I think.   Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  09:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sedley, Saskatchewan -- re deletion nomination
Hi there,

I agree entirely that the article on Sedley, Saskatchewan should be nominated for deletion (just looking at the history for it, I agree like you that it's on the verge of being suitable for speedy deletion ... but perhaps a little controversial for that). It looks like you might have suddenly got distracted by your thesis-writing though, 'cos the page for the deletion debate itself isn't up and running, as per the steps for deletion. I don't want to tread on your toes, so do you want to open the discussion? I'll then support your request -- I doubt many people will disagree with us! -- Sjb90 23:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Personally, I was a little surprised by the AfD. All communities are notable, even those outside the United States, per clear Wikipedia policy and precedent. Wikipedia's had a lot of problems with systemic bias in the past, especially in regards to anything either existing outside the United States or not profoundly interesting to young tech-savvy American men. I honestly believe that the nominator sent this to AfD in good faith, but communities are notable. --Charlene 09:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/D. Welser Carroll
Hey --- when you start a new AfD page, you can use the following format: ~ That will make sure the discussion has a full link to the article, and a header, so that it shows up properly in the day's deletion log. Tell me if you have any more questions. Cheers, cab 06:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:LottasFountain.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:LottasFountain.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 22:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:John Daly at AmEx.JPG
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:John Daly at AmEx.JPG, has been listed at Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, but as the author of an edited version of this image Image:John_Daly_at_AmEx_Crop.JPG, I interpreted your licence terms as a request to contact you if the image was used elsewhere, but not a requirement. If it is indeed a requirement, then Wknight94 is correct, it cannot be licenced with GDFL and will therefore need to be deleted. However, if you were to clarify the terms and state that you would merely appreciate that anyone using the image contact you, that would be fine, but nobody would be obliged to. Please contact me on my talk page if you need to discuss it further. It would be a shame to lose the image over the interpretation of the wording, but unfortunately, as I said, you cannot require someone to contact you under the GDFL terms, as it must be free.

 * In response to your message at WP:PUI, there is a commons image, Image:John Daly at AmEx Crop.JPG that is still linked to. It has been nominated for deletion as well due to your note about wanting to be asked before it is used.  —Wknight94 (talk) 03:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Navy pier .jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Navy pier .jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 15:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Banpei. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Banpei~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:28, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
