New Adoption Request
I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and after a few small edits, I was advised to seek out an experienced user who is willing to be a mentor. Among all the mentors in the Mentors' list, I felt your areas of interest match mine the most. I'm from India and am from the Computer Science and Engineering background. I am intersted in latest trends in Science and Technology, European History and the World Wars. I feel I can make some useful contribution to Wikipedia in these fields with the right guidance from you. Waiting for a positive reply. hashken (talk) 11:51, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Adoption request
Hi Ecallow, would you please adopt me. I need help with citations. I'm back on Wiki and my skills are rusty to put it nicely...EZRASExy (talk) 17:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC) Hello, Ecallow! Would you like to adopt me? I'm trying to publish an article about my company's software and I need someone who will tell me if it was not against any of Wikipedia's laws. Jan Goldewski (talk) 10:01, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi - I am hoping you would like to adopt me I need a bit of help with ensuring that an article I am writing about my company is non-promotional (neutral) and doesn't contain puffery terms and that I'm only referencing noteworthy sources. I would also be interested in getting some help to create a user page.

Thanks in advance!

Orphaned non-free media (File:Gadget Show, World Tour Logo.jpeg)
Thanks for uploading File:Gadget Show, World Tour Logo.jpeg. 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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Toca Boca Logo
Hi Ecallow!

I'm a beginner Wikipedian, and I was wondering if you could help me with the image process, since I'm confused about its copyright issues and whatnot. I'm trying to add the logo of Toca Boca to its article. I found the logo here.

Thanks! --Bananasoldier (talk) 01:25, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bananasoldier

I've uploaded the image which you can see [|here] and added it to the article!

Thank you very much! Bananasoldier (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Would you like to be adopted? I see that your user page has an adopt me userbox and I'm an adopter! Ecallow (talk) 17:53, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes! I would love to be adopted! I've had a Wikipedia account for a year now, but I still like to consider myself a newbie because I still don't know that much! :P

Bananasoldier (talk) 18:59, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Pocket Planes logo
I really appreciated your logo placement for the Toca Boca article. I hope you don't mind, but I have another article that needs a logo. The article is Pocket Planes and the logo can be found here.

Do you know a specialist who would love to keep putting in these images for me?

Also, how do I know whether or not the image is copyright violation when I'm adding the logo?

Thanks! Bananasoldier (talk) 19:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd be happy to upload it and will show you how if you wish. I don't personally know any 'specialist' uploaders. On the subject of copyright - if it is made avaliable by the creator on brand guideline or press resources it's generally ok. If not then you can usually claim under 'Fair Use' just make sure it isn't used commercially. Ecallow (talk) 18:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Actually, over the duration you were gone, I learned how to upload images. :D Bananasoldier (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Backwell School Radio
Hello Ecallow,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Backwell School Radio for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 15:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to create another adoption section on your talk page, but seeing all the current sections on there I was unsure of which one to place my request under.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Ecallow, I am @Flyguy92 and I was wondering if you'd be interested in adopting me. Like you, my interests include technology and photography. I have been using Wikipedia for nearly 10 years and can't wait to start actively contributing. I think an adoption will help me learn the ropes so I can be an effective editor. Please let me know! Thanks FlyGuy92 ✈ 00:49, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
