Hi, Hope you don't mind but I've changed a couple of references in the D-League article back to "NBDL" - in my view, the fact that they only changed the name officially in summer '05 means that when the article is talking about pre-2005 happenings, the league's name should be NBDL (the NBA didn't "start recruiting players from the D-League" in 2002, because there was no such thing, and players like Alston or Brown were definitely hyped as making the step up from "the NBDL" at the time). What do you think? Obviously you're very closely connected with the league so if you feel strongly that it should be called D-League throughout, I won't get into some kind of petty argument over it! 81.110.86.44 07:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I can see where you're coming from and agree with you, especially where the name ends up being anachronistic. Your reverts are fine. Eric 04:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

NBADL, edit summaries
Eric, (great name :o) )

Thanks for taking up the reigns on the NBADL pages. I've been wanting to improve those for quite a while but simply haven't had the time. I'd just like to encourage you to use edit summaries for all of your edits, even the minor ones. It makes it much easier for other editors to browse your changes. If you have any questions about Wikipedia and its policies (or anything else for that matter), feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Non-free use disputed for Image:Wacky edited.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wacky edited.jpg. 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 after seven 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 05:04, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:GLVC.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:GLVC.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 22:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Elkhart Express.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Elkhart Express.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 12:22, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Indiana State Road 123


The article Indiana State Road 123 has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * List of former state highways in Indiana is more useful. This article does not have a lot of info.

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. Detcin (talk) 02:14, 16 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 in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 19:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited NBA Inside Stuff, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ABC, ACC and SEC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
