Dick Johnson
I have undone your move of Dick Johnson as the Australian one is better known, and is the only one with an article. I put your disambig page at Dick Johnson (disambiguation), and added the template to the main article. In future, if you move an article to make space for a disambig page, you need to also edit all of the articles that link to that name, and change them to link to the correct disambiguated article. Also, "auto racing" is not Australian English. Cheers. --Scott Davis Talk 15:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: EWS User Templates
Swell idea!!! Try getting it done on all of the userboxes in this category with the background being identical to the overall background color of the logos. I'll check them out later!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SAT JUL 15 2006 4:48 PM EDT


 * About User:UBX/EWS-DET, it looks like whoever uploaded the image may need to crop it a little to center the picture a little better... Wouldn't you agree??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SAT JUL 15 2006 4:53 PM EDT

Personal abuse
Please do not direct personal abuse towards other users. Please see WP:NPA for why we have this policy. -- The Anome 22:55, 15 July 2006 (UTC) (Personal attack removed)

Obscenity in User talk:Zzyzx11
Injecting unnecessary swear words, racially or sexually abusive comments, or provocative pictures to articles or user pages offends many people. Wikipedia treats such actions as vandalism and blocks people from editing for such repeated vandalism. -- Tachik o ma 22:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Note: this talk page has now been protected against further vandalism. -- The Anome 23:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I am sorry you feel that way about the policy on the userboxes. As I understand it, the policy of not allowing fair use logos on userboxes comes from the Wikimedia foundation itself, who want to reduce any chances of being sued for copyright infringement. If you have complaints, you should direct your attention to them, not me. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Note: I have now unprotected this talk page, and unblocked this user, in the hope that this conflict can be resolved.

To User:Hello Wisconsin; please don't do move vandalism to make a protest; this is not acceptable behavior, and if you do it again, you are likely to be blocked from editing indefinitely. -- The Anome 06:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * In case you are interested, User:Durin has written a detailed essay on the removal of fair use images outside of the main article space. You may find it at User:Durin/Removal of fair use images. I apologize if you were pissed off by the actions of myself, User:The Anome, or any others. But again, the bottom line is that the Wikimedia Foundation, the owners of Wikipedia, want to err in the side of caution and reduce any potential copyright infringement lawsuit. Best.

Fair use rationale for Image:Allison Rosati WMAQ 2006.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Allison Rosati WMAQ 2006.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
