Template loops
The idea is very simple: a template may not call itself, for example pagename:template:We'll show them

will make a template loop.

And even this pagename:template:joke_#1

pagename:template:joke_#2

will make a template loop, although the loop is constructed over more than 1 page.

By the way, you can blank the pages, or delete them by putting Db-g2 on top of them

File source problem with File:Shih Tzu.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Shih Tzu.JPG. 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, 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.

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 01:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

100 films
Bit disappointed that you take that article so seriously. Equally though I am impressed how long P & P lasted in there as a serious item - says something about the average educational level over there maybe? Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 09:22, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

The 1000 Challenge (Baltic)
Hi. I see you are listed as a member of a WikiProject of a Baltic state. I was wondering if anybody who actively works on Estonian, Lithuanian or Latvian articles, would be interested in launching your own The 1000 Challenge (Baltic), based on the The 1000 Challenge (Nordic) and The 10,000 Challenge. The idea would be to try to bring about 1000 article improvements and creations on this region as an enjoyable challenge and potentially things like National Contests with prizes. If you'd be interested and think it's something you might regularly contribute to, comment and sign up at Talk:Baltic states. If there is interest we can move this to a project somewhere and set something up, thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:31, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Cedar City Temple Image
Hi Biggins,

I see you tried to add a picture of the Cedar City Temple (Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ALDS_Temple%2FCedar_City_Utah_Temple&type=revision&diff=849886126&oldid=829760651) but it looks like the link was broken or something. I have searched for the picture but don't see it. Could you try uploading it again or let me know if it doesn't exist so I can fix the template? Thanks Glennfcowan (talk) 16:22, 1 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, I did upload the picture months ago, but it was deleted on January 31, 2019, due to confusion over copyright status (I provided documentation that the photographer gave her consent to upload the picture, but they wanted to contact her directly; she sent them an email, but it appears that it may have gotten lost in the shuffle). I have asked the admin who deleted it if it can be restored. If they won't, then I guess we'll need to find another picture of this temple, unfortunately. --biggins (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Bummer, makes sense why it broke suddenly. Hopefully you can get the photo approved and added back. Thanks! Glennfcowan (talk) 16:34, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
