Why hello there! Subpages are made with a slash, not a colon. You made new pages. --Ortzinator 05:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks, fixed. --Flood_of_SYNs 18:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

NitroTracker
Hi. Wanted to let you know that while I (among others) appreciate new tracker articles, that I've expressed concern that NitroTracker might not yet be Wikipedia-worthy. See the article's talk page for more. It can certainly stay in the List of audio trackers, of course. --Vossanova o&lt; 18:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nitrotracker lite.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nitrotracker lite.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Re: Cloverleafing delete
I'd be more than happy to give you the page and its history. Just a quick question though, that I hope you don't mind clearing up. Looking at the history, I see you never actually edited the article. Could you clue me in to why you'd care for this article? ^ demon [omg plz] 00:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status
The Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to and/or  status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

AfD nomination of PAlib
PAlib, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that PAlib satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/PAlib and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of PAlib during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Spigot Map  01:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:DigDugDiggingStrike-DS-Box.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:DigDugDiggingStrike-DS-Box.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 may be deleted within a couple of 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 (talk) 13:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

July 2008
When adding links to material on an external site, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

You Tube
As you are probably aware, You Tube has recently come under fire in respect of its use of copyrighted works, because of this a review of You Tube linking from enwiki is under way.

It is noted that you linked to a number of You Tube videos from your user page. Sadly the (C) status for some of those video is doubtful or unclear. In general linking to material whose (C) Status is ambiguous, unclear or unconfirmed is highly discouraged on Wikipedia as reflects badly on both the project and the contributor.

If you are not the copyright owner in respect of the videos linked (including any music, screen-shots or computer generated content), please consider reading both (WP:EL) as well as You Tube's Terms and conditions.

If you don't own the copyright to the footage in entirety you should NOT upload it on You Tube either.

If you are indeed the copyright owner in entirety for the linked videos, please confirm this (via OTRS or appropriate means) for each and every video linked, and mention this in respect of the link(s) concerned.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Laughing man.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:Laughing man.svg. 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) 06:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Note about account security
Hello Flood of SYNs - I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but Wikipedia recently had a spate of user account compromises. After investigation, it appeared that at least a significant issue involved in these compromises was that the Wikipedia editor had also used the same or similar password on a social media website that was posted on their userpage. Many major social media sites, including Myspace and Yahoo, have had major security breaches where user passwords were leaked.

I note that you have included links to external social media sites on your userpage. I'd suggest removing the links; however, if you choose not to do so, please ensure that you are using a unique password for your Wikipedia account that is not used on any of these other sites. Thanks very much. Risker (talk) 20:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
