Replaceable fair use File:CHIP computer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:CHIP computer.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:43, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dan56. I noticed that you made a change to an article, MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dance wiv Me, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ready for the Weekend. 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.

Police and Crime Commissioners
Thanks for reviewing these. I'll come back tomorrow to add sources, because it's late and I've really had enough for tonight. Just a quick note though to say the issue of notability was discussed at length following the first round of elections in 2012. This is Paul (talk) 22:35, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * OK. - ElectricController (talk page) 22:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Please don't add tags on articles within minutes of them being created. Give the creator a chance to do their job please. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but you could use . - ElectricController (talk page) 23:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Didn't get a chance did I. What are you doing reviewing other people's work anyway? You have very little experience. I would urge you to write more before critiquing other people's work. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Am I critiquing other people's work? No, I thought I just had the right to review and giving a suggestion. So, if I'm wrong, I apologize. - ElectricController (talk page) 23:41, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Bay Area Reference Center
You tagged the article as needing reference improvement following its initial creation, when it looked like this. Note that nothing in the article is unreferenced, that there are 5 references, of which only two are to the same work, and that the edit summary reads "Starting article with 2 major refs, some of the shorter ones" - implying that further references are to come. My next edit leaves it looking like this: there are now 4 added references, and information on the corresponding Southern California institution and a further section have been added using these. I hate to say it, but I believe that's pretty good article writing procedure. And it can't have escaped your notice that I have the autoreviewer right: I have no problem with New Page reviewers looking at and critiquing my new articles, or any other fellow editors for that matter, but I don't think it's the best use of your "article curation" time, and I question your judgement in tagging the article as inadequately referenced—in addition to which, you tagged it when new and it soon had even more references. I have accordingly removed the tag and would like to suggest you focus on articles that have had some time for additional edits, not the front of the list, and save the tags for articles a lot more deficient than this.

 * My mistake. - ElectricController (talk page) 12:50, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I notice that you are new to article curation/new page patrol and from the section above I suspect you may be a bit confused about it. Did you read New pages patrol? Note the warnings at the top of it. It and the Further reading are the first steps recommended at New pages patrol/School. The article curation tool is just that, a tool; you still need to be aware of the whys and hows. also has the autopatrol right (in fact they've created more articles than I have), so both our new articles will have appeared already white in the new pages feed. The reason for that right is to take some of the load off the new page patrollers by "whitelisting", so to speak, articles that are likely ok because they've been created by an editor who's created many articles and demonstrated they know what they're doing; it's ok to look at those, but the ones with the yellow highlight are more likely to need checking. And what you're doing when you decide to place a tag is critiquing—in fact it's criticizing, marking the article as deficient. There's no need to look for a tag to place; if you think a new article is ok, just mark it patrolled (and maybe fix any small problem you see, yourself). People work in many different ways, and new users are more likely than experienced Wikipedians not to realize that they need to have a claim of notability and a reference or two before they hit "Save" the first time, so it's strongly recommended not to work off the very front of the new pages list, so as not to bite newbies and jump the gun on people who were about to fix the problem after their first save. Have you considered doing the New Page Patrol School? It's not mandatory, but there are a lot of things to consider and so it's one of the areas where mentoring from someone experienced can be very useful. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:06, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Paint.net 4.0.6 screenshot.png
Thank you for uploading File:Paint.net 4.0.6 screenshot.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
