Saint Christopher (disambiguation)
Nothing wrong with this page but if you create a new disambiguation page in the future, add tag so the system recognizes it as one. Good work otherwise. Cheers.- Skysmith 10:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Wickethewok 03:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

An image that you uploaded, Image:Kimi_track4.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Windsok 13:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:RIVALSLOGO.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:RIVALSLOGO.png. 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 '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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 03:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Corpusclock.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Corpusclock.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. 71.145.130.187 (talk) 23:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Armored Core: For Answer
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Armored Core: For Answer, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Armored Core: for Answer. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Obama quote.
Why did you make this edit? It was an accurate quote before you touched it, and you made it slightly incorrect. I've reverted it, of course, and also added a citation. APL (talk) 06:47, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Northern Portrait


The article Northern Portrait has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. CharlieDelta (talk) 20:22, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?
Hi Erik Kennedy,

In December you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions: You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchuk@undefinedwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 23:42, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
 * 2) If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
 * 3) What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

I just saw ...
a familiar name skip across my watchlist. I think we last saw each other on my twenty-first birthday: corrugated aluminum "Irish pub", Rte. 206 north of Newton, last call c. 8:30pm. How has everything been? davidiad.:τ 12:13, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bellieni, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Binocular (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

File permission problem with File:Rivalspic8.png
Thanks for uploading File:Rivalspic8.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 20:40, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

The Georgia Strait
Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style and the paper's article is at the Georgia Strait and so putting the lower case "the" outside the link is ridiculous and goes against MOS:LINKING. If the official title is not at that place, let's talk and have it moved. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia's style guide is pretty vague about this, as far as I can see. As opposed to The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed., 8.168, which explicitly recommends that any initial 'the' in the titles of periodicals (journals, magazines, and newspapers) be subsumed by the surrounding text or simply dropped, depending on circumstances. But I'm not going to die on this hill. The sane way to resolve this disagreement is to capitalise the 'The' within the italicised title and be done with it. Which is what I've done. Hope this seems all right to you! --Erik Kennedy (talk) 08:26, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

"Created page with and  ". Are you living in some sort of timewarp?

In all seriousness: add some independent sources or this article is likely to wind up in WP:AFD and it will be deleted, no matter what you or I think; which will make it difficult to get back again. I created  as a redirect so as to catalogue that album while avoiding AFD problems.

Problems with upload of File:The-class-of-covid-19-cover-fair-use-resolution.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The-class-of-covid-19-cover-fair-use-resolution.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
