JPEG-avi
Just a friendly note on JPEG-avi. I declined the speedy deletion request, as "poorly constructed" is not one of the speedy deletion reasons, it's an editing issue. If you don't feel comfortable fixing the article yourself, slap a maintenance tag such as or  on it, and let someone else have a stab at it.

Total wipeout editing
Well, I'll give some reasons. Sorry I did not see your message before.

1. It seems like advertising. To some, perhaps, it does, but to others it is a good source of information to turn to. That's why it is in "external links"

2. It lacks notability. Notability means, according to Wikipedia, "worthy of notice". Perhaps you do not feel the need to notice this site, but I am sure there are many Avid                                 Fans who do. 3. It contains little information and does not further enhance the reader's knowledge of the subject. Wikipedia when it was first founded contained the same. This is a discussion board. By people entering it, It will become a larger resource. However, It does show precise instructions of how to get on the show, which the Wikipeda page does not.

''4. It is not a reliable source."" There are many members that have been on the show "Wipeout" which Total wipeout was derived from. Another member is the Admin of a forum which has  several links here on wikipedia. Certianly the site has more creditability then most of the people even writing the Total Wipeout page.

Facebook Poke Interpretations...
Hi Greg,

Although I respect your contributions regarding editing Wikipedia I have found your comment about calling my interpretation of Poke on Facebook "absurd" to be a form of unfair censorship. There are a large number of Facebbok users who have interpreted "the Poke" in many different ways, including the edit that I had added. It is important to point out that in the original Wikipedia definition of "Poke" the following words are used:

"...When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings.."..."

Sincerely,

Facebook User

The poke feature allows one user to virtually poke another. Some users believe that the poke feature is some sort of Facebook foreplay. However, according to Facebook's FAQ section on the feature, "a poke is a way to interact with your friends on Facebook. When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings." One such interpretation is the idea that a "poke" is another way of "teabagging" another user. Teabagging is the act of lowering one's testicles onto someones face, or into their mouth while they are laying down. Kind of resembles dipping a tea bag into a hot cup of water. In principle, this is intended to be a "nudge" to attract the attention of the other user. However, while many Facebook users, as intended, use the feature to attract attention or say hello,[12] some users[who?] construe it as a sexual advance. There are several applications on Facebook which extend the idea of the poke feature by allowing users to perform other actions to their friends (such as "kick" or "wave to"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.252.210 (talk) 18:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

PhotoShare
Greg,

PhotoShare is an iPhone app similar to others listed including Twitterific. If you can suggest a modification to the language to reflect it not as advertising, but rather an option to tie in a visual perspective then that would be great. Again, your thoughts are welcome.

Thank you, Adam —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamJGSea (talk • contribs) 00:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I ADDED THIS COMMENT TO OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ON MY PAGE, BUT WAS NOT SURE IF YOU COULD SEE IT SO I ADDED HERE AS WELL. THANKS, ADAM We offer a service like Twitpic -- except we offer a lot more. Anyone from PhotoShare can add his/her Twitter info into the profile page. So when a photo is uploaded to PhotoShare it generates a link posted to his/her Twitter account. I can send you a screen shot of my Twitter page if you'd like. So, while we do not mention Twit. . . in our name we offer services similar to those already posted. On this basis I would like to add the information back onto the Twitter page. Thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamJGSea (talk • contribs) 19:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Greg, I saw your message on my page and understand that the perspective should be from a user rather than from me in an unbiased fashion. We are already in conversation with our users about using Twitter so it is likely only a matter of time since many of quite tech savvy. Thanks again, Adam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamJGSea (talk • contribs) 22:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:TweetDeck logo.png
Thank you for uploading File:TweetDeck logo.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. &mdash; neuro (talk) (review) 15:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. When you patrol new pages, acceptable articles or articles which have been tagged for deletion should be marked as "patrolled" using the link at the bottom right of the article.

Twitter Mobile
Hi Greg,

Why was my Twitter Mobile page deleted, when it contained no blatant advertising when pages such as Twitterrific does nothing but advertise.

Twitter Mobile is a mobile client for Twitter - I do not understnd how I can say that without it being construed as advertising. I did examine many pages of like content and they seem to have no problems.

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Juliancolton  | Talk 16:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Tagging for speedy deletion
Hi there. I noticed you tagged Rafford railway station with speedy deletion criterion G11. Please review G11's wording and reasoning: It serves to delete articles which are written to promote its subject, by using blatantly promoting language and tone. Articles like this one, which only consist of the article name in the text can never meet this criterion (unless the article name itself is advertising). The page rather met criterion A3 for not having any real content (although it was mistakenly deleted as A1 by another admin). Please be more careful when tagging articles in the future, because each tag conveys a different message to the page creator. Some are positive (like test page, no content) while others can be perceived as assumptions of bad faith (vandalism, blatant advertising etc.). Regards  So Why  12:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

From Bates
Greg,

I realize I had insufficeint data to support my facts of Wii Sports Resort, and i say facts for a reason. However, one pivotal resource would be Nintendo's demos from this year's E3 in L.A. Also if you had studied my listed Japanese site more closely, you would have easily found all of my information valid. If you still do not believe me, visit http://wii.com/jp/articles/wii-sports-resort/ so you may watch the videos & witness the truth of that I had spent my time typing, only to be deleted. I have spent countless hours researching my topic ever since a preview of it last year at E3 so I find myself very well informed on this topic. When you find that you had falsely accused my data, if possible, could you undo the changes you have made, if it is a simple task.

Oh! and one more thing, on the Japanese official website their is a picture of Wuhu Island, I implore you to compare it to the picture given in the Wii Fit manual of the unnamed island that you jog on. The resemblance is incontrovertible. They are exact duplicates of one another. If you still to not find my data adequate, maybe you should do some research yourself, as I have spent my entire previous year doing such. Remember to observe the links and videos attached to the websites carefully, as anyone should do, and may I be proven right and restore my hard work.

Big Brother in Wiki
Greg, this reminds me of George Orwell, if you know what I mean. "...There is some fairly substantial evidence here, where I suggest that Witizen might be preparing to "rally support" and Rich church mouse replies...". Compare signatures! What's next, DNA? I can save your time for further investigations and tell I share computer with Witizen. Maybe you need more detail about our relationship? No problem, I can tell. I deleted his remark, because I do not want any further fighting. But I agree that editors only talk about formal rules, investigate ridiculous "crimes", but do nothing to improve article. You may kill the article, but the bigger problem of competence will remain, no matter how you hate us for our criticism, call me sock or whatever. And I will talk about it aloud, because I want to make Wikipedia better. Rich church mouse (talk) 22:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Rich Church Mouse

Hi. I'm a v old person. Nearly all my professional life has been based on the premiss that you succeed based on your expertise. In turn, the difficult task of choosing and paying experts to do a job is best done by reference or by consulting other experts, as well as checking people out yourself - but the problem is how to decide whether someone else is an expert, when you are not yourself an expert on the subject. My experience over 40 years has been mostly that when people choose experts at a particular job, they choose on the basis of expertise, rather than being 'nice' or good-looking or something like that. So I was quite surprised that an association of experts should be so viciously attacked like this.

My background is 6 years of editing Wikipedia and increasing frustration in battling vested interests and points of view. Hope that explains things - I was really upset by the attacks. Peter Damian (talk) 08:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

NOTIFY
Hi, Greg - you'd offered some help on the wording of the NOTIFY essay. I don't think that it necessarily has to be lengthy or detailed; I had in mind something roughly like this:

When you seek sanctions against a user, it is expected that you notify them by posting a message on their talk page. There are two sides to most stories, and it is only fair that the accused is given notice and opportunity to be heard.

Notification is expressly required on various administrator noticeboards. For example, the Admin's noticeboard and ANI require that you "inform other users and editors if they are mentioned in a posting, or if their actions are being discussed" or are even "the subject of a discussion." The Wikiquette Alerts noticeboard requires that you "[n]otify the reported user(s)." And when you file a formal sockpuppetry investigation request, you must "[n]otify all the users you are accusing."

These warnings, however, are not isolated, unrelated provisions applicable only to the pages containing them. Rather, they are manifestations of a broader judgment by the community that both sides of a dispute should be heard. This principle applies to any public action you take that is designed to get another user into hot water, whether it is on an administrator's noticeboard, an article talk page, an administrator's talk page, etc.

That's pretty rough, and any input would be appreciated. The metaphor that I'm looking for to describe the explicit notification requirements, and which is eluding my grasp, is that I want a word or term that denotes a series of islands that appear seperate on the surface but that are in fact all interconnceted peaks in a single undersea mountain. I just can't think what that term is (I had thought archipelago, but apparently not).<font face="palatino linotype" color="#000000">- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 00:23, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If the metaphor is sound but there isn't a word, I'll try just writing it out concisely as an illustration. Re judgment/judgement, it seems to be an American English / British english difference. Certainly the no e form prevails in the context I'm most familiar with, e.g. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) or FRAP 36; Fowler's confirms the intuition, noting that while both are correct, the include-e form prevails in British everyday usage, the no e form prevails in British legal usage and universally in American usage (third ed. 1996 at 426). <font face="palatino linotype" color="#000000">- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 16:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm tempted to suggest following the guidance of Mr. C (viz., that great philosophical writing that "Es are good"), but I fear that would mark my age. ;) I've created it per your suggestion at the village pump (i.e. at Notification with a redirect from WP:NOTIFY), and feel free to edit it as you'd like. :) <font face="palatino linotype" color="#000000">- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 16:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nivio logo.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Nivio logo.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 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. Skier Dude ( talk ) 11:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Big Rigs.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Big Rigs.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, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:SSX blur screenshot.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:SSX blur screenshot.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. RJaguar3 &#124; u &#124; t 03:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
