All the comments on this page had become redundant. So I got rid of them, and am holding my breath looking forward to some new ones! -- Codu  talk  15:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The above signature was fun, but I have decided to change to the following one, for a change.  codu ( t / c ) 15:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Changed again. Codu (t)⁄(c) &bull; 16:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

In-universe
Please don't remove the in-universe template from articles. This is a clean-up tag used to improve the article by alerting readers and editors to an issue and pointing themselves to a guideline that they can use to correct this. This process will improve the article and make it much better. Articles that mostly consist of plot summary are in danger of violating Wikipedia policy (WP:NOT): "Plot summaries. Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic."

You might also want to look at Manual of Style (writing about fiction), which is the guideline that the template points to. If you still have questions you might want to bring the matter up on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). -- Ned Scott 00:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Your signature
Personally, I love the way your signature looks. Unfortunately, it does not conform to Wikipedia's signature policy, regarding it's length. Please consider shortening it. — Mets501 (talk) 15:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur with Mets. Your signature is too long – 746 characters long. --  tariq abjotu  16:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:A Litvinenko.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:A Litvinenko.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 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.

A tag has been placed on Gaelic Hit Factory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pascal.Tesson 22:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
