Hey!
Just saw on your userpage that you play basketball! That's cool because I used to play basketball for Sydney Uni Flames till I was 13 years old and I moved to England. Yeah that's right...I grew up in Australia though I was born in Ireland. Funny isn't it? And I still have my Australian accent. That's why I basically have a strong liking for Craig Nicholls cause he's from Sydney too! Why don't you tell me more about the place you live in?Victoria Eleanor 14:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Woah!!! You know loads of history about your place! Man I don't even know a quarter of it...only that during the renaissance period[or sometime] because all British prisons were full, they sent British prisoners to Australia[especially Sydney] to work throughout the day as punishment. Except for the Aborigines, none of the others are actual Australian inhabitants. As for me I was born in Dublin, Ireland[14th Nov 1984] to a catholic English father and a protestant Irish mother. We shifted to Sydney, Australia when I was a year old and there we go!! I was much more influenced with Nirvana and British bands like The Verve and Depeche Mode[big crush on David Gahan] cause Australia was influenced by foreign music more than their own. Rock in Australia that time? Well we had to manage with Kylie Minogue cause you just couldn't escape from her influence in the pop scene. My name is Mary Jane and not victoria eleanor cause that's my mothers name. She died just a year after we came to England[I was 13 yrs old]. By that time I had become obsessed with Nirvanas Smells like teen spirit. I really wanted to get back to Australia cause it was really hard for me to fit in to the Leeds culture. After school I had worked in a convenience store for work experience in my gap year...and I got the experience of my life. Prostitutes, drug addicts, hooligans you name it and I have seen it all. Finally I shifted to Australia and went to Sydney Uni for education. I'm still there though! Doing engineering. But my Dad died on my b'day when I was 20 yrs old[heart attack] so here I am with my music and education writing on wikipedia and telling you everything. Hope to hear from you soon.Victoria Eleanor 15:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about your Grandma...I don't remember seeing mine anytime. Both my paternal and maternal grandparents died when I was a toddler. I'm so happy to be back! I still remember many times when I would go to buy something in Leeds I would ask 'How many dollars?' instead of pounds!! Man I did get heavy stares... As for my relatives...they were more interested in the money than in relations and they're searching for me so that they could get their share. Since then i've lost all contacts and been on a hiatus. To make things worse I have Aspergers Syndrome that makes me like Craig Nicholls[well almost]. So I thought that i'd do some work on the net to keep my mind of things...like wikipedia!!!! It's great talking to you...i've never really opened out to anyone like this cause I don't socialize but now I feel a lot better!Victoria Eleanor 15:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

First things first - don't delete large sections of text from an article and call it a minor edit.

Secondly - why did you remove the article's content, and replace it with a description of what the article is? That's just bizarre. Nphase 17:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Erasmo Catarino.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Erasmo Catarino.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. MECU ≈ talk 02:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Keane band.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Keane band.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 22:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If a copyrighted picture is "replaceable", it means that a "free equivalent is available or could be created". In the case of Keane, since the band is still together and making public appearances, it is possible to create a new image and release it freely.  Another option would be to contact someone who took a picture of the band and ask him/her to release it freely; if you'd like, I'll ask the person who took this picture (it has all three members, which doesn't always happen with concert pics, and it's high-resolution, so I can crop most of it).  —ShadowHalo 01:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I contacted the person who took the picture, and I'll try to remember to tell you if I get a response (apologies in advance in case I forget). —ShadowHalo 18:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The user agreed to change the license, so I'm uploading the picture now. —ShadowHalo 23:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
