Question
May I ask how you (an inactive user who has never edited any music or Lady Gaga related articles) found your way over here, Articles for deletion/Alejandro (song)? Thanks. Nymf talk/contr. 04:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, and yes you may ask. I was reading the page so I decided to contribute to the discussion and voice my point my view. Is anything wrong? EryZ (talk) 04:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Missed kicks
Hi mate. It's basically just a convention that has arisen since the introduction of the rugbybox template. We began by simply adding the number of each score, with the time of each one, but later we started to add the number of attempts for conversions, penalties and drop goals. However, I believe it was decided that only players who actually scored with an attempt should be listed in the box to prevent it getting too cluttered. That said, if the community at WT:RU thinks it would be a good idea to add the players who missed all their attempts too, the consensus can always be changed. – PeeJay 13:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Chemical equations
See MOS:CHEM. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 09:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * My apologies. Thanks for the clarification. I did make it a separate edit to the other two I made just cause I felt that it might not be consensus. Cheers. EryZ (talk) 10:29, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Minor scale does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Hyacinth (talk) 08:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I get a bit carried away sometimes. I'll try my best to remember next time. Thanks! EryZ (talk) 09:26, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Horn (instrument), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mouthpiece (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.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Just stupid cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Just stupid cover.jpg. 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 '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) 04:08, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Re:Dota 2 map
Tell you what, I happen to be a digital artist, so I could create a compromise by creating a new vector map in a similar lieu as the generic MOBA map, only that it would be fashioned after Dota 2. D ARTH B OTTO talk•cont 19:14, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That would actually be so amazing. Cheers mate. EryZ (talk) 23:20, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Just stupid cover.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
