Lar and Petros AC

 * Thanks for the reminder... MyNameIsNotBob has decided he's gotten what he wanted. So I've updated accordingly. Theoretically Petros471 and I are ready for new assignments... I may want to take a bit of a break from coaching and try to get caught up on some other matters I am behind on though... ++Lar: t/c 21:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not really able to take on anyone else. I've now just managed to get myself into a position (now you've taken over coordinating) that I don't have to do anything on Wikipedia. I'll probably just be dropping in occasionally to block the odd vandal and close an afd discussion, but I don't want to commit to anything at the moment. Petros471 22:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep me on the list as inactive for now. Unless I find I have to leave Wikipedia fully (not the case at the moment, but could happen depending on what I end up doing in my life) I'd still like to help out with the program. Petros471 22:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, just treated them in same way as anyone else. Petros471 22:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I would need another partner to be able to take a new coachee on... pretty heads down with other stuff. SO mark me inactive for now too i guess. ++Lar: t/c 17:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Admin coaching
Yeah, I'm okay to receive a trainee now. Just tell me when I've been assigned, and I'll be ready to go. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 22:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, I don't really care. It looks like all the free admins are fairly new as well, but again, no preference either way. --Mr. Lefty  (talk) 22:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Admin Coaching
I left that a long time ago. I'm not even an admin! I'm kind of busy for it anyways. If you can take my name off the list, great. Thank you for letting me know I was still on there! -- D -Day I'm all ears How can I improve? 22:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:Esperanza Admin coaching - October 29 - New recruits
I'd love to recieve a trainee! I'll become a permanent helper at Admin Coaching if it's acceptable that I'm not an admin and I've been around for less than a year. Helping less experienced editors is something I really want to do. -- Gray  Porpois  e Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 23:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry for the confusion. If you look in the requests, you'll see a unsigned comment by me. It was actually signed, but my the four tildes must of been placed in the volunteers. I'm no admin, but I know enough about wikipedia to assist a less knowledgable trainee, but, I actually requested a coach myself, and I'm not sure if I could help enough. Sorry about the mess. I hope I can help coach someone someday :). -- andrewI20 Talk 03:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Admin coaching - October 29
Hi Highway,

Yes, I'm ready for a new trainee. I had let Petros know I was ready for a new one, but never got a response; the same thing happened previously. From what I gather above, you're taking over the coordination. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester  06:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

RE:Admin Coaching - New recruits

Hi HighwayCello. Me and Ilyanep were assigned Master of Puppets, but it looks like he's taking a break (no edits since Oct 5). So I could be assigned another coachee, and if MoP returns, I wouldn't mind coaching him as well. Thanks for taking over this project! --Fang Aili talk 14:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I gotcha. Sorry about missing my already-listed name! Yes I can be assigned a new coachee. Btw, did you become an admin while I wasn't looking? :) --Fang Aili talk 17:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Admin coaching - October 30 - Held requests

Page formatting
Hi HighwayCello, just thought I'd let you know your talk page header doesn't display well in Firefox - the contents box overwrites the bottom part of the category tracker summary box. Only a n00b with wiki, so no suggestions how to fix, sorry. RoscoHead 00:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

After all 5 judges have chosen a finalist it's time to award them 1-10 points in the four categories:


 * Attractiveness: general layout, considering colour scheme and/or use of tables if applicable
 * Usefulness: links to subpages or editing aids, helpful information
 * Interesting-ness: quirky, unique, captivating, or funny content
 * General niceness: at the judges' discretion

Please remember to include Subpages in your judging criteria. See the Scores section on this page for additional information on your job as a judge.

Keep in mind that your scores are confidential! Email Celestianpower with your scores and final picks. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced! Thanks. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 09:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

my template headers
Thank you for bringing to my attention some possible problems with the templates. If you have further concerns about them, leaving comments on their respective talk pages is the usual problem. You can also provide constructive criticism at PokePage or at the PCP talk page - which i see that you have. It seems from your edit comments that you found PAGENAME particularly inappropriate. I'll address the other issues at the talk page. This was a first test run, following the directions laid out at the main template page. The PAGENAME issue was actually being addressed as you were removing the templates. The problem was with PokeVideoGamesIntro. I'm in the middle of working on a solution, even while you were removing the headers. I ask that you be civil and refrain from deragotory, unconstructive statements like "train wreck" and "mess". With more feedback before i had started this, perhaps problems like these could have avoided. I will ask that you attempt to refrain from outright removals of the templates for the time being. I hope you can show the respect mandated by wikipedia and help to improve upon these templates as opposed to removals. If you are dead st against them, continue to make your case at the PCP talk page, because as of now i have only garnished support for them and you are essentially going against consensus. -Zappernapper 17:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching
I do not wish to continue admin coaching.

Also, I did not "abandon" Wisden17, I left WP for reasons I will not disclose. You may wish to modify your message to him to reflect that.

If you have any further questions, please contact me via email, not talkpage.  Ja xl  00:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

HI
This is as a follow up to the message you posted on my talk page. I am very inactive in Wikipedia these days, due to some work that eats up most of my time in real life. So, feel free to delist me off the coachee's list. -- soum সৌমো yasch  16:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi HighwayCello. Since Soumyasch doesn't want admin coaching right now, feel free to assign me a new coachee. Thanks! --Fang Aili talk 16:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see you've assigned me Jasrocks. I will wait until he confirms his interest with you. --Fang Aili talk 16:57, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Since you're...
Sure! I was actually considering signing up, so I'll be glad to be on the list. :) By the way, I'm not sure if the discussions that got moved to the Admin Coaching main page are meant to be there, but they make the programs page really long, since everything on the Admin Coaching page is transcluded onto there.  Would it be okay to put a shorter description of admin coaching there, with a link to the real page?  -- Nataly a  18:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Regardless; I'll shorten what is there, and you are most welcome to add what you think would be useful! -- Nataly a 19:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries. :) -- Nataly a 19:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

You read my mind! I was actually logging to tell you not to worry, that I'm going to put it up later this morning (well, morning for me), which will give me some time to mull over it once it's up. I've just been brainstorming how to phrase things that past couple of days. It's almost time - exciting! -- Nataly a 12:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Shyam Bihari's admin coaching
Yes, it has begun. A lot of questions, suggestions. But if Mr. Lefty doesn't mind, you can assign him to an other editor (there is a lot waiting for a coach), because I can handle it. If it's not possible, then we will work together. NCurse work 20:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that'll work. Anything to clear the perpetual AC backlog. I'd be happy to take on a coachee of my own. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 22:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Potential restructuring
Hey there. There's an important debate occuring at the WP:PCP talk page about taking down and redirecting the majority of the 493 Pokemon creature articles, and I think you'll need to make some comments. This could mean the destruction of the Bulbasaur and Torchic FAs that I think you did a lot of work on, and I wouldn't know about how you feel about that, but maybe all this is for the best. Hope we can upgrade the project throrugh this. Best, Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 19:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Coach offer
I know you're jumping with replies, but I need to make you read this. I would like you to be an admin coach, I know you're not an admin, but you've more than proved your ability on the coach page.

Hello HighwayCello,

All I was originally asking for was a confirmation that you would abide by the "gentleman's agreement" that was recommended the archives of WT:DYK that
 * The updater should not choose their own nominations at all
 * A second thing that wasn't discussed, but which I feel follows is that one should not select nominations by WikiProjects with which one is involved or close Wikipedian associates, should there be an objection or query raised about that nomination. As such, having relaunched WP:EURO and Portal:Eurovision and encouraged Eurovision people to participate in DYK, I have only chosen the Eurovision nominations of my wikiproject team-mates if there are no objections. On the few occasions that there were objections against the Eurovision, I have abstained from choosing them, despite my personal support for the nominations. In your case that would correspond to only picking Pokemon and Nintendo items of other users and only if there were no dissent.
 * I have to reiterate that the only reason I asked you these questions was that DYK is traditionally a very sleepy corner of Wikipedia, so with your emotional reaction to your suggestions being declined, I felt it necessary to ask you to reaffirm your commitment to the "gentleman's agreement". I was hoping that it was quite clear from the wording of my original comment that my original opposition was very conditional, and that I would withdraw it were you to clarify your commitment to the agreement, in much the same was as an FAC oppose, so it is unfortunate that your RfA has taken a major turn for the worse due to this. In any case, I am very sure that you are mistaken that Samir and ALoan have self-selected, especially as ALoan has only begun updating in the last fortnight, and as you make noted above, you have not been at DYK for a substantial amount of time. In any case, as my request for confirmation has been fulfilled, I have withdrawn my objection to your candidacy as I had implied and promised. I'm sorry for what has happened to your RfA. Regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Admin Coaching / Held request
Yes, I am still interested in receiving Admin coaching. Regards, └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 14:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

a piece of advice
Its not from me, actually. Its from a very good editor, Ambuj Saxena. He offered me some advice on my last ER that really changed my perspective on communicating in tense situations. I pass this on to you:

''As others have said above, you need to work on the time you take to react to situations. Often, as time goes by, we start seeing the situations differently; in a completely different perspective. From my experience, I can tell that in most cases (as much as I have seen), you tried to do the right thing, without giving a gestation period to your actions. Reacting too quickly is often seen as agression, and was the primary reason why your first RfA failed. I too, reacted too quickly to SV's edits, and as a result missed the fact that the FAC in question had already closed. The episode that followed is very well known to you. From what I see, you have the tell-tale signs of becoming a rouge admin, who tries to do the right thing without thinking of the consequences. But my experience tells that many people see it as a negative quality, and this may result in their opposition to your RfA. The trouble is that 100 cases of civility can't be cited to back you, and even if someone finds one hint of incivility against you, it would be used against you. As a completely independent, and equally important issue, I find that you haven't mentioned what kind of admin you are planning to be. Looking at your contributions, I found little janitorial work, and you may need to work on that too. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 14:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)''

Can you please select your finalist a.s.a.p., at Esperanza/User_Page_Award. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 07:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Time to judge the finalists!
Hello, HighwayCello. This is a quick message to remind you that all 5 finalists for the Esperanza User Page Award have been chosen. You now need to judge those 5 pages, awarding each one 1-10 points for attractiveness, usefulness, interesting-ness, general niceness and quality of subpages. Refer to the Scores section at the project page if you are unsure of how to score.

Once you have scored the 5 pages, email Celestianpower using the specified format. As soon as all the scores have been tallied, a winner will be announced. Thanks. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 08:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

your RfA
Hi HC, I've changed my !vote after thinking about your comments. Sorry about that, but what with the concerns raised by some users, I'd rather exercise caution. Just make sure you don't get too personally involved with articles as an administrator, if this RfA succeeds.

On another note, great work with admin coaching - it's really been revived all over again!

Take care, riana_dzasta 08:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA Questions
Hi again! Per your request, I'll leave questions here, which actually leads me to a question, hehe; why would you want users to bring RfA discussion to your talk page rather than keeping it in a centralised viewable location on the RfA page where users are encouraged to submit questions for optional response by the candidate? hoopydink Conas tá tú? 15:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, but I actually thought that the question was quite relevent, as you violated Wikipedia policy on the RfA itself (unknowingly, it seems) and actively removed content pertinent to your RfA and which users have commented on as part of their rationale. As such, the question was indeed appropriate by your own language; admin behaviour and views on policy.  Also, your past actions are important as well, as one's actions largely define one's character and abilities.  Furthermore, if you agree that this question is relevant to your RfA, I'd ask you to paste it onto the actual page or just drop me a line with your opinion and I'll paste it if you concur.  Thanks for your quick response!   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 15:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Haha, I'm not sure I fully understand the reference, but I'll go ahead and paste it. Cheers   hoopydink  Conas tá tú?
 * I've gone ahead and pasted it, but left out your last bit about the jedi thing... I'm assuming that was your response to me, not your answer, but feel free to do whatever you want with it ;)  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 15:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem at all! First, RfA actually isn't a vote.  It's a bit difficult for me to give you any specific points to work on.  My issue is in regards to how you view adminship and Wikipedia, in general.  I feel that in order for one to be trusted with extra responsibilities, one must have the best interests in the project at the forefront of one's mind, regardless of any personal biases.  Also, I believe that one must never use the buttons to further one's own ambitions.  Lastly, I feel that one needs a demeanour and approach that I don't think you possess.  While I think it's great that each person approaches Wikipedia in his/her own different way, especially as it's a purely voluntary effort, I don't feel that your approach suits you for being an administrator.  Sorry if this is a bit vauge, so feel free to follow up with more specifics, and I'd be happy to try to elaborate.  As an aside, unrelated to RfA, I noticed that you crossed out my comments in regards to the admin coaching, but I haven't yet received any confirmation of new participation.  Thanks   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 03:36, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Charizard problems
Hello. It seems I'm a new arrival on a much-discussed topic, so I apologise if I've been a little slow in getting up to speed. It seems that there are difficulties arising from a difference of opinion about what constitutes "out-universe" wording. In the interests of furthering understanding, would it be possible to ask you to explain what you consider needs improving in the Characteristics section, and what is required in order for a section to be "out-universe"? Thank you for reading this. -- Grgcox 20:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if I've irritated you with my edits to the Charizard page. You haven't yet replied to the comments I've made, but you have reverted the edits I've made almost immediately. Is this a sign that you don't welcome my attempts to contribute to this article? It's difficult to know what you think unless you tell me. -- Grgcox 12:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your message. There's no need to rush - please rest if you need to! -- Grgcox 13:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Threads on the Admin coaching page
When I posted comments to everyone's posts on the admin coaching page, I contacted everyone of them with a note that said "you've got mail" and directed them to the admin coaching page. I've just received a message from one of them that he couldn't find my reply to his post there, and upon checking discovered that you have been removing entries as part of standard operating operating procedure. There's nothing wrong with that, except that I'm going to get a flood of emails from people wondering where their replies are. I've added a simple system to the Admin coaching page to accomodate the threads. I've restored all threads, using (assigned) to mark them. No need to move entries from the numerical list to any other section on the page, as new entries will naturally be posted as new headings at the bottom of the page. Simply mark entries (assigned) to keep track. This system should also make it easier to archive as well, because you won't need to move entries to another page every time you make an assignment. Simply archive the page the same way normal talk pages are archived when they become too long. I look forward to your reply.  Th e Tr ans hu man ist  06:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

A partner may be is a great idea, as a) Much as I believe I have all the answers Im well aware thats a bunch of the proverbial ass, and b) Im a coaching virgin so if there's a person available who perhaps has done it before may save a bit of the ol' trial and error (like weeks! :)


 * How would I be best to coerce some poor soul into joining my happy throng? Thanks again Gl e n 09:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * If thats the case then please save yourself the bother. Riana is as close as an ideal pairing as anyone could ever have so it'll be smooth sailing just the two of us - thanks for the offer. And yes, just "!voted" in your RfA, so consider it a little less rocky now :) Good luck my friend - buzz me anytime if I can assist too. Gl e n 10:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Per your coaching inquiry
Getting sort of passive coaching lately, but I've got pretty austere coaches (of which I felt lucky to get, sort of like being assigned Thor and Aphrodite as coaches). I try not to bother them unless I get into serious stuff. I'm feeling good about where I am, but not enough controversy under my belt. Kinda quiet in the history cluster. No one's ever really given me direct feedback on my body of work, which I kinda would like. Is that an WP:ER? BusterD 13:03, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching / Virtual classroom
Okay, I've got everything set up for my two students. I've been inviting some of the most prolific and talented editors of Wikipedia to participate, and some very useful advice has already been posted. The Virtual classroom has grown to a scale at which it can accomodate many more students, and many more coaches. Feel free to send as many of each there as you like, and you are most welcome to come join in too. Sincerely,   Th e Tr ans hu man ist   16:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Good show
Hey Highway, let me be the first to congratulate you on a strong showing during your RfA. And yes, you still deserve congratulations, even though it didn't make it! Hope all is well, -- Nataly a 23:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not be disappointed. You are highly valued around here.  Personally, I think you're a true asset to the goals of the project. -- Samir धर्म  00:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey Highway, I'm so sorry to see that your RfA failed. I know that it doesn't mean much now, but you're a wonderful wikipedian, and a great person, and, as Samir says, you are highly valued. As I say, I know it doesn't mean much now, but it's true. Keep strong. Th ε Halo Θ 00:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. Actually, you were only about 10 votes away.  That is, if 10 "oppose votes" had voted "support" instead, the tally would have been 60/20 which would have met the requisite 75%.  Given that at least 10 votes focused on the tone of your RFA comments, I think that you are very close.  I would discount the suggestion of waiting 9 months.  I almost think it was deliberately put out there as bait to see if it would trigger a negative reaction from you.  Unfortunately, it did.  I think another RFA in 3 months would likely succeed.  Continue being civil and argue more circumspectly in your next RFA.  I would have switched my vote on this one if it would have changed the outcome but it became evident that it wouldn't so I left it as "oppose".  I look forward to supporting you in your next RFA.  --Richard 01:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it's too bad you didn't get adminship. I know you will if you stick with it.-- A c1983fan(yell at me) 01:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Augh, man, I was sure you'd get it this time. :( Well, on Sunday, I'll paste a joke involving you and other Wikipedians on my user page to try and lighten up your day. Hope you enjoy. Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 00:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Interview for Wikipedia Weekly?
Hi!

You may or may not be aware of the Wikipedia Weekly podcast, which is now approaching its eighth weekly episode, on which I'm a regular presenter. This episode, we'd like to cover the Esperanza dispute now that the dust has had time to settle, and would very much like for you to come on the show to talk to us about it. We'll also be inviting a few other representatives of Esperanza, and User:Robth to provide an opposing view.

All that would be required are a microphone, a reasonably fast internet connection, and a free copy of Skype. We'll likely be recording at around 1500 UTC on Saturday, although feel free to suggest an alternative time if this wouldn't suit you. You can also join us in #wikipediaweekly on FreeNode prior to the podcast. Thanks for your time, and I hope you can join us on the weekend. :) Daveydw ee b ( chat/review! ) 00:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I know that we have never met before, but I need to ask you a favor. I'm the logged out form of User:The Hybrid. I was trying to get myself some new vandal fighting tools, but I messed up.

Congratulations, Terran
Congratulations on Torchic being THE Featured Article of the Day for 23 December 2006! I knew it would get there eventually, but I didn't expect it to be featured on the Main Page so quickly. Let us hope that this will be the beginning of a bright future for Pokémon next year, and, to a somewhat smaller extent, the Pokémon Collaborative Project. Once again, congratulations! As a frequent editor of the article, you, as well as every other Wikipedian who has done good to the article, have certainly earned this recognition (and something I doubt any Descent (computer game) article would get). -- <font color="DarkGreen" face="palatino linotype">Alt <font color="Green" face="antiqua">iris <font color="DarkRed" face="book antiqua">Exeunt  02:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Torchic
congrats on finally getting it up to snuff! I assumed you were the one who had been working on it the most because of the last FAC you tried for. I was checking some of your refs (the Hasbro recall was interesting) and you make an analytical claim about them in the real world, noting their aesthetic appeal, but the claims are reffed with serebii epiguides.
 * Like major Fire-types before it, such as Charmander,[47] Torchic's popularity is partially due to its aesthetic appeal. Torchic have been promoted in this way in the Pokémon anime, where characters have shown a liking towards it because of its attractiveness.[30][48]

I noticed that you were instrumental in bringing a recent article to FA status. I have been trying to get the Ohio Wesleyan University article to FA status.

Hi Highway. Thanks so much for your response (Nov 2, 2006) to my coaching request. You may have already seen that I'm not currently very active (maybe two edits in three months). I'm certainly still interested in coaching. And I wonder if that can happen at a slow pace, since I won't have much time until May('ish).

Pokeballicon.gif
Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I notice that you have two user subpages which use Image:Pokeballicon.gif:
 * User:HighwayCello/PCP
 * User talk:HighwayCello/PCP

Pokeballicon.gif is now obsolete and it is recommended that Image:Poké Ball icon.svg be used instead. So, I'm wondering: what is the purpose of those two pages? Are they kept for historical interest, or are they personal sandboxes, or what? Please let me know so that I know if it's appropriate to change the instances of Pokeballicon.gif on these pages to the SVG version. —Remember the dot (t) 06:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Dilexia
I have added a "" template to the article Dilexia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive
A new elimination drive of the backlog at Good article candidates  will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

Hope to see ya again!--The Ninth Bright Shiner 18:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pachirisu.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Pachirisu.png. 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) 09:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Baby Pokémon
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Baby Pokémon, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Baby Pokémon has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Baby Pokémon, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Speedy deletion nomination of Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Archive 2


A tag has been placed on Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Archive 2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-free rationale for File:Croconaw screen.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Croconaw screen.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Concern regarding Draft:List of Kirby powers
Hello, HighwayCello. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:List of Kirby powers, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
