Nitrome
I have nominated Nitrome for Speedy Deletion. You will have to explain about its notability in the article for it to survive according to Notability. Hu 13:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nitrome button.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nitrome button.gif. 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Mcmlogo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mcmlogo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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. ShakespeareFan00 14:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Mtv_eesti.gif
I have tagged Image:Mtv_eesti.gif as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 12:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Logo propaganda.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Logo propaganda.gif. 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 will 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) 00:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:FunBrain.com_Logo.png
I have tagged Image:FunBrain.com_Logo.png as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. MER-C 10:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Nitrome logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Nitrome logo.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 11:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Regarding List of Wii games that use the Nintendo GameCube controller
There appears to be a very low-key non-publicized attempt to delete this article on Wikiproject Video Games (see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games). As a user who edited this article, please voice your opinion as to whether or not it should be deleted. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 06:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Cira Centre South.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cira Centre South.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of A day in the life of san fernando
I see you tagged A day in the life of san fernando for speedy deletion under criterion A7 (no indication of importance or significance). I agree that the article should be deleted, but unfortunately A7 does not cover films. I have substituted a PROD. Also, perhaps I can remind you that when nominating a page for deletion you should almost always inform the creator of the page. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Germany
Hi, I think there was some mistake here. I was reviewing the Germany article and declined the change because it was outright vandalism. After refreshing 'history' I saw that you had reverted my changes. May I know why you did that? Bejinhan Talk   12:56, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Science of morality
Hi. I noticed you find the Science of morality page essay like. Do you have any more specific suggestions I could take a look at?

Also, you talk Copyrights on your main page so I you might like this lecture by Cory Doctorow - http://www.tvo.org/TVOsites/WebObjects/TvoMicrosite.woa?bi?1272747600000/

Whoa Nellie Deli
I appreciate you noticing the article I wrote last night, but am not sure why you proposed Whoa Nellie Deli for speedy deletion, as the article I wrote included no promotional material from the restaurant itself or even paraphrases of such material. Instead, I used neutral language and relied on quotations from 7 relaible sources to establish notability. Those included the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune. These aren't just home town blurbs. Quoting relaible sources is not advertising. I also quoted national magazines like Gourmet and The Atlantic. As a point of fact, I have no connection with the restaurant other than as a satisfied customer. Did you actually read the article and look at the references that clearly establish notability? Fortunately, someone else disagreed with your proposal and removed the flag. I am sure that you acted in good faith but am curious as to your reasoning. Thank you. Cullen328 (talk) 15:21, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Greetings
Greetings Gert7 - thank you for your message on my talk page. When you tell me to use "the Administrator intervention against vandalism to report vandalism." and "I assume you have TWINKLE installed, so use the ARV function.", I take it that you refer to a specific case, and reading between the lines, one that I may have slipped up on, but as I use AIV frequently, am not sure exactly which one you are referring to. Please clarify. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 15:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I was referring to a request for blocking/banning you made on an admin's talk page, but I'm guessing that was from an earlier time. --Gert7 (talk &middot; contribs) 15:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, not sure which specific case you refer to, but I often make requests on admin pages when the vandal is not active at that moment - as per AIV guidelines - and I consider the vandalism requires the attention of an admin. As I mentioned above, it's possible that I may have slipped up somewhere, but without knowing which particular case you're referring to, am feeling a bit lost here.--Technopat (talk) 16:00, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Greetings Gert7 - when you have a moment, I'd appreciate you letting me know exactly which edit/s you were referring to. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 00:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

DJ Dee
I saw your "speedy deletion" request for DJ Dee. I took a look at the edits, and it appears that someone hijacked the page from the original article about a member of the electrofunk group Mantronix, and replaced it entirely with an article about a DJ from Luxembourg. I was thinking about revising it back to its original form (that admittedly was a "stub"), and adding a new page for the Luxembourg DJ, but when I attempted to revise, it said that it must be done manually. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sundevilesq (talk) 16:32, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Mike Smith
Given that Mike Smith is in fact a paid comedian, it is appropriate to have comical edits for him. Given that the internet is the domain of nutters and idiots, of which I am one, it will be entirely impossible to build a serious encyclopedia. Perhaps it will be more serious than the uncyclopedia, but given personal biases, political motives, and commercial interests. The goal of an open, yet serious internet is impossible. It will evolve into a beast of totalitarian control freaks with no interest in anything but total control. Not even facts will be permitted to get in the way of of the Wiki-Freaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.212.244 (talk) 17:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reactionary, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Status quo ante (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
