Image copyright problem with File:Orthopox potf.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Orthopox potf.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. 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 made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. 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 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) 14:49, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

PotF image
Just to be clear I'm not against the image of Orthopox in his PotF form, but Wiki standards require something higher quality. Devices such as a GameBridge can capture television and video game footage/screenshots. That's a more expensive version in the link, but they are as cheap as $20.00 (US) if you really are set on including the image.

Again, the image is useful, but higher quality is required as we're seeking to get this article to Good Article status. --Teancum (talk) 23:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
Hi there; purely as a matter of interest, could you tell me why you have created fifteen alternative accounts, who between them have made onl eleven edits to seven articles. This is, of course, allowed under wiki rules and I do not insist on an answer. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Per the request of Lyverbe, I have unprotected the article. I have watchlisted it, but I'd also like you to let me know if the IP vandalism starts to rise. Cheers,  caknuck °  resolves to be more caknuck-y  01:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Credibility
Why don't you check your "editors" before allowing them to contribute? I would contest any contribution that person has made to this site based solely on their improper use of grammar. If I don't point it out, they'll never learn. Moreover, ignorance will flourish. Don't ever edit my page again. 75.83.26.243 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC).
 * You made a threat to an editor in that case i have a right to template you and anyone else who sees you doing that (including me) can temlate you as well as you can template me if need be. But you can not delete the template because you disagree with them, Until the 6 month after the template is issued.  Here  Ford 19:53, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

The references are on the article. They come from reliable third party sources, making them perfectly notable. (Note: Sorry about the late response.) -- SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd ( Cortex Scan )  23:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sims3Cover-Art.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Sims3Cover-Art.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Your RFA
You might want to change the typo in your RFA: "Mediation Cable". I tried not to laugh, but unfortunately I did laugh, but I'm laughing with you :-) --Deskana (talk) 22:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I regret to inform you that I have closed your RfA prematurely. It appears you may not be ready yet, but should continue to contribute to the project in a positive way. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.  iMatthew //  talk  //  23:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

WOW, I just came here to tell you that I closed your RfA as well... if you want it open, we can reopen it, but I recommend against it. The fact that several people have closed it, indicates that they don't see it as having any chance of passing right now. This is not a reflection on you, but rather a desire to prevent pile on opposes. 2500 edits is currently well below the current expectations.--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon CSD Survey Results 03:29, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Nonsensical Deletings
I just received the following message from you:

"Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia, as you did at Talk:Barack Obama. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tabloids cant be used as a source. HereFord 01:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)"

(1) Could you please explain to me how my suggestion for a discussion of Obama's link to the subprime crisis in his article constitutes "socializ[ing] or do[ing] things that are not direclty related to improving the encyclopedia? (2) Did you not read my statement in my post that the Post article I included was not meant to be a source? It was intended to provide other editors with useful background information on the issue (the facts in the article all being easily verifiable). I specifically stated this in my post. Just to be clear one more time: I DID NOT INCLUDE THE POST ARTICLE AS A SOURCE. Please respond ASAP as I would like a full explanation of why you deleted my post in light of the two responses above. Failure to respond will result in me reporting you.
