License tagging for Image:Walkden w249001a.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Walkden w249001a.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 21:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Walkden Population
Hi! Thanks for the contact! It seems you're really keen on the Wikipedia project and demonstrating prudence and committment which is great!

With regards to the Greater Manchester Urban Area, I made a mistake sorry. I used the 2001 census results, though that table uses the 2005 amended version, so you were right to question this! I've since reverted this back to your version.

If there are any other ways in which I can help you're time contributing to Wikipedia and improving articles, please feel free to get in touch, or ask any questions. Jhamez84 22:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Manchester and the 3RR
Hello GRB1972, and thanks for the contact.

Manchester has received a great amount of disruption of late - particularly from one individual whom I wholly share your concerns about. It's been difficult to pin-point and collate all of his edits due to his multiple IP addresses.

He's been blocked indefinately once for sockpuppetry, and other disruptive editting. He's using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which is (unfortunately) allowed on Wikipedia.

That he's "gaming the system" on cleverly timed reverts does not stop him from recieveing a warning or block - this can still be reported to admins, even if he uses two or more IP addresses to do his work.

Please beleve me when I say that I'd be more than happy to assist you with "managing him off wikipedia" asap. What we need to do is collect information about this user - perhaps on a sandbox page. Let me know if you have any more questions. Hope that helps, Jza84 00:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 23:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Like the above - thank you ever so much! Though at this rate you're only going to give me a big head!.... Also, I sense my work is not yet done! Thank you though, it was most kind, -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the barnstar! As Jza84 said, so much left to do. :) --Malleus Fatuarum (talk) 00:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Rudget!
Dear GRB1972, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget . 16:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

My request for adminship was successful at 64/1/2! Many thanks for your participation and I will endeavor to meet your expectations. Cheers,  Sephiroth BCR ( Converse ) 09:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stuart Broad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wanderers. 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.
