Louis Robert
Hi ! I have announced your article on the WikiProject France/New article announcements. This helps people interested in France-related topics to contribute and coordinate their efforts. Happy editing, STTW (talk)  14:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

digital classicist
As a classical civilisation graduate I'm intrigued by the concept. But to survive this article needs to read less like an advert- maybe to discuss similar projects in the article?Merkinsmum 20:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Albedo One
Albedo One was in danger of being deleted. I noted you as one of the early contributers. Not sure if you have a horse in the race or not.

I am just writing to let you know, I substantially edited it and rewrote it. But being unfamiliar to the subject, I could not confirm it still makes sense. Fortunately in wiki land, all things can be undone.

The unimpeachable change I made was creating the magazine info box, and fleshing out some of the references. --K3vin (talk) 13:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Greek Magical Papyri
I just revisited the page on the Greek Magical Papyri and was disappointed that it didn't live up to my memory of its quality. Reading the talk page, I began to see why. I'm rather ignorant about the mechanics of Wikipedia and am unclear how to view an older version of the page. In other words, I'd like to see something closer to what you intended. I left a rather testy comment on irresponsible editing, and this incident certainly points to a fatal flaw in Wikipedia: that without closing the editing process at some point (and making future edits through a responsible editor), articles can simply deteriorate through the whims of imbeciles. Cynwolfe (talk) 14:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I appear to have engaged in implicit name-calling toward other users with that 'imbeciles' remark. Apologies; not my desired M.O. That must've been the day I decided there was no point contributing to Wikipedia if a good article to which one had intended to link could be left in ruins without due process. So many people turn to Wikipedia first, particularly students, and I believe in the project. Just wish the editing process could be more rational. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Thefuturefire13.jpg}
Thank you for uploading File:Thefuturefire13.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Proposed deletion of The Future Fire


The article The Future Fire has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Lacks any attempt at demonstrating notability per Wikipedia's inclusion standards. No notable and reliable sources cited showing nontrivial coverage.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DreamGuy (talk) 18:23, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of The Future Fire for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Future Fire is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/The Future Fire until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. DreamGuy (talk) 05:27, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Thefuturefire16.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Thefuturefire16.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) 04:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Deletion pending for File:Geoffrey Waywell Departmental Photo.jpg
Hello, Gabrielbodard. Some time ago, a file you uploaded &mdash; File:Geoffrey Waywell Departmental Photo.jpg &mdash; was tagged with OTRS pending, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.


 * If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.


 * If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 15:37, 3 December 2017 (UTC)


 * There seems to be an OTRS issue, by any chance would you be able to take a look? I've read through the email thread and the declaration seems pretty clear to me at least, so it might need someone with more experience of OTRS that I have to sort it out. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This edit to ensure Michael actually receives the notification after I got his username wrong!
 * Thanks for looking into this, Richard. The copyright owner (Michael Trapp) did indeed email a couple months ago with permissions that should have been sufficient. I've sent him this alert, so he should resend as instructed soon. Gabrielbodard (talk) 19:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Martin Hanford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interzone ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Martin_Hanford check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Martin_Hanford?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

THATCamp moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, THATCamp, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —  Newslinger  talk   03:03, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Gabrielbodard, the article doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:ORG, or WP:EVENT. Sources 3-6 are affiliated with the conference, and I can't find the Read Write Web article (WP:V). This leaves one source (The Chronicle of Higher Education), which is short of the 2 required by WP:GNG. Thanks. —  Newslinger  talk   03:03, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:THATCamp


Hello, Gabrielbodard. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "THATCamp".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 08:43, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited EpiDoc, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Schema.

Midnight Street
I was going through magazine categories and saw that Midnight Street has been largely unreferenced since its creation in 2006, with little editing from other editors. I was going to PROD it as I was unable to find any reliable sources to incorporate showing notability, but you may be privy to sources discussing the subject that I was unable to find in my search. Do you know of any sources that could be added to the article? Currently, the sole source is an interview, which is considered a primary source and not useful for showing notability.

List of occultists
I am concerned about your additions. They seem to be original research. The source you cited for Sosipatra does not use the word "occultist" on the page you cited. Skyerise (talk) 12:34, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Same for Ninos (priestess): her article does not establish that she was an occultist, just that she was accused of making love potions. You must provide sources that refer to the subject using the word "occultist" or that establish that the subject practiced the "occult arts". Inferring it from less direct statements is original research. That list is filled with people who are not in Category:Occultists and most likely do not have sources supporting the use of the term.

Help at the Ancient Greek Wikipedia
Hi! How are you? I have noticed that you say in your user page that you speak Ancient Greek and I was wondering whether you could possibly help us revive the Ancient Greek Wikipedia at the Incubator. It would be great if you could lend us a helping hand. Jon Gua (talk) 14:21, 11 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! I am sorry to bother you again but I was wondering whether you could possibly sign this ( https://shorturl.at/hNQVY ) petition in order to get the Wikipedia in Ancient Greek approved. Thank you so much for your help.
