Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Telelogo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Telelogo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 08:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sarah E. Meyer


The article Sarah E. Meyer has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * unsourced BLP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jack Merridew 16:39, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Gothic Architecture
You removed a statement from this article:The term "Gothic", when applied to architecture, has nothing to do with the historical Goths. This is not particularly well worded. However, I have no doubt (having looked at some of your other edits) that you are well able to word it better, rather than simply deleting it. The main problem with your edit, and with all your edits as far as I can see, is that you avoid leaving an Edit Summary, and mark every single edit as "minor". Many of your edits, including this one, are far from minor because they change actual content. A "minor" edit entails reverting a vandalism, fixing a typo, correcting a spelling error, removing a word that has been typed twice, or left redundant during the editting process, linking a term, adding a missing comma. It would be good if you could leave a proper summary of any action that changes content. Amandajm (talk) 20:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Sacha Baron Cohen Revert
Just loved the edit summary. Sorry to bother, but just couldn't pass it up without comment. Keep up the great work! -- Gnowor TC 08:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Sacha Baron Cohen: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. ''Sorry about this message. Noticed you didn't warn the vandal so I thought I'd send this along. Thanks again for all the great work!'' -- Gnowor TC 08:47, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate the note -- hadn't heard of those templates before. Dougluce (talk) 08:33, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries. Happy to help! -- Gnowor TC 23:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
