User talk:Direvus

Hello Direvus! Welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
 * Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! Ann Heneghan (talk) 17:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes). You should always sign talk pages (also called "discussion" pages), but not articles.

Comment
See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style for my comment there.

Digressingly I wonder how you can claim to be a grammar nazi, when you said of yourself: not being sufficiently expert in grammar


 * My claim to being a "grammar nazi" is one of attitude, not one of expertise. It would be foolish of me to claim that I know everything about grammar there is to know, and this does not interfere with my conviction that where a rule of grammar exists, it should be followed.  I'm not so proud that I can't admit when I'm ignorant &mdash; how else would I learn? Direvus 16:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Andromeda - Refractions of dawn.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Andromeda - Refractions of dawn.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude ( talk  07:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Direve.gif


The file File:Direve.gif has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
