Hi, I appreciate your concern. It is in fact possible to block anonymous editing only; I have just done so with 62.171.198.4. This is common practise and has been the standard response to anonymous vandalism since the capability was added to our software a few months ago. If, as you have done, you create an account, you will never be affected by these blocks and you should not recieve any warning messages on your personal talk page.

However, our policies prohibit applying indefinite blocks to IP addresses except under special circumstances (such as open proxies), so the block I have applied will eventually expire, at which point anonymous vandalism is likely to start again, and so more warning messages will be given, and so on.

Blocking IP ranges is more complex, and again is generally done only under special circumstances. If you wish to discuss the matter further, I suggest you post at Administrator's noticeboard – Gurch 15:21, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:WikiProject Brighton
 Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Brighton WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of everything to do with the city of Brighton and Hove.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Unisouth 15:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Fork me, you seem to know a lot about Trinidad and tobago and calypso. Write more article concerning it. You would help us out a lot! Thankx.

Expansion of WP:WikiProject Brighton - your opinion, please.
I have had the idea of expanding and renaming WikiProject Brighton to become WikiProject Sussex - this would not exclude people with a particular interest in, say, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Midhurst, Pulborough, Billingshurst, Horsham, Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea, etc. - all places worthy of a WikiProject - and I'm not sure that having WikiProject Brighton as a sub-project of WP:Sussex would work. I feel that we are being too exclusive - we could attract new members this way. What do you think? - Vox Humana 8&#39; 17:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback on the above proposal. The response given Matt (a. k. a. User:Hassocks5489) makes sense - I would support WP:WikiProject Brighton being made a separate project to WP:Sussex, but as a kind of sub-project, so that WikiProject Brighton would deal with all of WP:Sussex's B&H business. WikiProject Brighton would certainly be linked to from the Sussex page. I'm rambling a bit here - I don't really quite know what to say - but you get my point, I'm sure. - Vox Humana 8&#39; 13:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Brighton is still in the ceremonial county of and is surrounded by Sussex and has been for as long as it has existed. Therefore, Brighton should be referred to as being in Sussex, shouldn't it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vox Humana 8' (talk • contribs) 16:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
 * To be honest, I don't see the point. I've already started WP:Sussex - join if you want, don't if you don't. In any case, you can put on the related Portal stuff about related WikiProjects...--Vox Humana 8&#39; 15:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Peter Ward (English Footballer)
Dear Fork me,

I was so happy with your creation of the Peter Ward (English Footballer) site but unhappy when I recently logged on and saw that the photo image of Peter with Norman Cook was removed. Why was it removed? It was such a great photo..

Thanks, Miaxena7 Miaxena7 (talk) 19:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It was removed by the admin here as apparently it was in breach of fair use rationale. I was not happy either. Fork me (talk) 17:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Peter ward.jpg
Hello, Fork me. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Peter ward.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Fork me. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 07:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Peterward.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Peterward.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 20:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Can of Spry front.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Can of Spry front.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 00:31, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Can of Spry from side.JPG
 Thanks for uploading File:Can of Spry from side.JPG. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kelly hi! 23:21, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

The article did very well in terms of number of pageviews on the day it appeared on DYK (about 12,000): in fact it's my fifth best performing nomination of all time, out of 335!  Being in the "pictured" slot at the top always helps give pageviews a boost.  If you have access to any other sources or info which might be useful for articles relating to entertainment venues etc. in Brighton, let me know: as part of the recent restarting of WikiProject Brighton I hope to be doing a few more articles on Brighton buildings and places, and the more sources the better!
