Orphaned non-free media (Image:SkeletonCrew.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SkeletonCrew.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 01:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Corrections (Image:World-cannabis-laws.png)
Not sure where to add this, but the graphic is outdated for both Michigan and Washington State, where mj is legal for approved medicinal purposes. Additionally WA state voters will decide this year whether or not to legalize it for recreational use. (I-502, November 2012)

The map "World-cannabis-laws.png" is incorrect, here are some facts (email w.ill@gmx.net for further information) -- Austria hasn't decriminalized Cannabis use, it is strictly illegal as use equals possession and is punished by up to 6 months imprisonment and/or a fine (mostly jail sentence in practice, fine option only used for celebrities etc.). The law sees no difference between cannabis and heroin. [Source: ris.bka.gv.at (Austrian Law Information Database, German), experience and long-term monitoring of news.] -- Germany hasn't decriminalized Cannabis use/possession, it is governed by the states of the federal republic ("Bundesländer"). Bavaria for example has very tough laws, while northern states have laws similar to decriminalization. -- In Switzerland Cannabis laws are governed by the Cantons ("Kantone", similar to states). Some have very strict laws, others may have total decriminalization or issue on-the-spot tickets/fines to offenders. -- In both Austria and Germany, the first offence usually goes unpunished, but re-offenders usually face trial and usually a suspended jail sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W.ill (talk • contribs) 15:47, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Summer of Night cover.png
Thanks for uploading File:Summer of Night cover.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:ArthVader.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

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 CL8. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name CL8~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 22:50, 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.

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. 02:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
