Image:Wayne Goss.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wayne Goss.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

East Romance languages
OK, that's true, my english is poor (I don't learn english at school, but watching movies with french version writed !). Your choice is: to revert me, or to turn my english better.

If the reference at the east romance languages is not necessary here, WERE is it necessary ?

Is a good choice, to NOT have ANY reference about the beginning of the east romance languages in this article "Byzantine Empire" ? I expect your opinion.

Karl der Grosse
Charlemagne's Roman Empire soon became the Holy Roman Empire which was ruled by German monarchs continuously from Otto I in 962 until Franz II in 1806. It was a German empire in all but name until the 16th century when it was officially named the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. On German Wikipedia he is referred to as Karl I, der Grosse, meaning that Germans officially regard him as their first monarch. --Hereward77 (talk) 00:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Verdurian language
An editor has nominated Verdurian language, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Linguistics.
As I wrote there is a schism within linguistics on how to approach the study of language. Your text coincides ONLY with chomskyan generativism, and as such is not NPOV. Typology is at the same time an independent discipline of linguistics and the basis for checking of hypotheses outside generativism (which doesn't feel a need to check it's claims). As I wrote, non-generativists rely on checking their results with typological data for making sure that they're actually performing science.--AkselGerner (talk) 20:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

John Howard RfM
Hi Lacrimosus. I'm not sure if you got the message, but there is a Request for Mediation of the John Howard article, regarding whether or not the incident a year ago where Howard blasted Obama as a terrorist should be included or deleted from the article. The link to the RfM is here -> Requests for mediation/John Howard. There has been lots of recent discussion on the JH talk page about the subject. I put your name on the list of involved parties because you had discussed it last year. I think I may have inadvertently neglected to send you an invitation some days ago when I was looking down the list of those who had previously contributed. Anyway, you may want to put "Agree" or "Disagree" next to your name there. Thank you, and best wishes,  Lester  22:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

While looking at the history list of the John Howard article, I notice you were once very active there a year or so ago. Nowdays we don't see you there much any more. I'm curious about your reasons staying away from the article in recent times. Regards,  Lester  04:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

removed map on EU
So, that's what you do when you are on a break... It's unacceptable to remove a locator map without placing a substitute. It's very bad manner to do so, while there is a long and ongoing discussion about this map on the talk page that you have not joined at all. I am sorry that I have to say these things so clearly, because factually I would also prefer a different projection. Nobody stops you from joining the discussion. Tomea s y talk 08:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I understand that happens. People just do not read the discussions on the image pages. Putting ones objection on an article talk page is much more effective from this point of view. This is, however, at the expense of not being centralized in case the map is used more than once. In the case at hand, there is a long thread existing and active on EU talk. Please, feel more than welcome to further your objections there. Or better, start a new section, since the old one is very mixed up with issues about the size of the image as well. I hope you agree that until this issue is solved we should have a locator map and not be completely without as was the result of your edit.

Could you examine the article "Independent National Socialism" for bias?
I am asking a number of administrators at random to review Independent National Socialism which is sourced completely from a white nationalist webpage called Stormfront, which has anti-Semitic and other xenophobic material on it. A user is claiming that this website is acceptable for use. I believe that this source is not reliable and could be original research, but you you believe that this website can or should this source be relied upon for the article?

could you please do me a favor?
Hello,

I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?


 * 1) 	I will send you a URL link to a webpage on which your knowledge evolution map displays. Please assign the topic (concept) in the map to a certain cluster on the map according to the relationship between the topic and clusters in your cognition, or you can assign it to ‘none of above’ if there is no suitable cluster.
 * 2) 	I will also send a questionnaire to you. The questions are related to my research topic, and I need your viewpoints about these questions.

The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.

Sincerely

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

 * You actually got me to think more over this subject. I dove into the details and Discovered follows.
 * 1. Although my source (not British) does not give historical connection to St. Andrew, they refer to it as Andrea's Cross.
 * 2. I had my link pointing to Saltire anyway.
 * So don't see what could be an issue. Do you know if there is a difference between Andrea's Cross and Andrew's Cross ? '  Perseus 71  talk 22:43, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

What "very English" means (re Nancy Mitford)
Hi, Lacrimosus (aka Slac - this is you, right?) - I've | had a go at answering your enquiry re "very English"!! What I haven't done is really tried to find out if anyone else has looked at this / attempted an article. There should already be something on class generally, and the notorious English class / status system specifically .. but if so I haven't found it .. Somebody Should Do Something without delay, obviously!)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tijuana, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Velar fricative (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.

Proposed rewrite of Joh Bjelke-Petersen
Hi Lacrimosus, I note you have made some contributions to the Joh Bjelke-Petersen article in the past. I have added a new thread on the Joh talk page providing a link to my rewrite/remodel of the article (currently in my sandbox) which I propose to upload as the new version of the article. I've explained my motives at the talk page and would welcome your thoughts. The article could definitely benefit from a more recent image of Joh, but there's nothing else in Wikicommons and I have yet to find anything suitable that is copyright-free. That's an issue for a little later, perhaps. BlackCab (talk) 11:53, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
