Intimidating vandalism warning
Please avoid using this vandalism warning. The reason we have the test1, test2 etc. templates is to allow us to assume good faith and encourage editing. Scaring users off editing is not what we want. Please don't bite the newcomers.

In addition, I know of many instances of personal attacks made on other users, those anonymous IP users are known and respected contributors. Don't do it. It does nothing good for wiki. Rob Church Talk 15:46, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


 * 1st of all let me correct the spelling, so it wont confuse anybody.


 * I never placed my vandal template on good contributors, actually, I welcome the good contributors that aren't registered, with my welcome template.

I.P users creating pages with vandalism, like f*ck you on them, are not "good contributors" & shouldn't be "respected". They are people with bad intentions and should be given warnings. I will also change the the warning template.--.::Imdaking ::.  Bow 03:21, 8 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Also if I may add, another I.P user, made personal attacks on my talk page. Look at the page's history, on the left side where it says REVISION AS OF 2005-10-05, all the way at the bottom he added, "suck me off pal", I never attacked him for him to tell me that. You might want to add that to your Robchurch/Imdaking Page. --.::Imdaking ::.  Bow 03:55, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for responding politely to my concerns. While I do sympathise with your personal attack, I'm afraid in light of those you've made to others, it doesn't carry a lot of weight at this particular time. Sorry. Then again, attack or not, I do feel you shouldn't stoop to the level of the vandals, so your immature response is of concern.

Incidentally, all users have the right to test. Some don't test in the right place, and just need a friendly reminder. If you think of it from a perspective of getting the user blocked in the end; if the user is rude to you, and you're nothing but polite to them, then they haven't got a leg to stand on in front of the administrators.

Please don't feel upset that my Robchurch/Imdaking page exists. I am simply concerned that a number of things seem to be spiralling out of control. If you're becoming wikistressed and wish to talk about it, you are welcome to do so; I'd much rather you could continue to do RC patrol than burn out and be "removed" from the project for inappropriate conduct.

Of particular concern to me are the problematic interactions with Paul Klenk and those with BlankVerse, both much-respected and trusted contributors. Regardless of this pseudo-status, no user is to be intimidated, ever.

Please let me know if you do have any further problems or questions. Rob Church Talk 15:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Calif.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Calif.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 05:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Have you dealt with MostWanted05 or the 86.xxxx user?
I have no choice, I will report this person to the Wikipedia commitee. He choose to continue the "think I own this site" excuse "over-and-over" again! Wikipedia:Requests for comment/user:MostWanted05 Any thoughts? Thanks. LILVOKA. 28 May 2006 04:33 (UTC)

Sort of a quick question.
Hey, you posted an arbitrary sort of "Welcome to Wikipedia" message on my talk page, which is why I've chosen to ask you about this.

I've been editing since April 2005 (I've made about 1800 total edits) but for the most part, I've been doing so through my IP address. Besides reading and editing, I'm not really very active within the Wikipedia community.

Around July 2005, I decided to get a member username almost exclusively for the purpose of being able to upload images (a good portion of my editing is for independently released CDs, I try to add album covers).

However, I've recently thought about becoming more of a participating member. The first thing I set out to do was vote for the Board of Trustees. Unfortunately, I found that I wasn't able to because of my habit of editing more under the IP address rather than the formal "Pele Merengue" account (my IP has 1500 edits, this account has about 350; 400 are needed to vote).

So I guess my question is a simple one: Is it possible to transfer my IP contributions to my user account?

I've tried looking around for the answer to this somewhere in the help section, but to tell you the truth, it's sort of hard to find anything in there.

I guess all I really need is a yes or no answer.

Thanks, Pele Merengue 18:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:Coll husky.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Coll husky.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. - SCEhard T 05:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Amcrash.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Amcrash.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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. Abu badali (talk) 11:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ebw.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ebw.JPG. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

Fair use disputed for Image:Image:Dash logo2.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Image:Dash logo2.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ELAC.gif

Image copyright problem with Image:Celogo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Celogo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

New messages bar
Hello there. As you've probably noticed, I've removed the fake "new messages" bar from the top of your page. This is because our guideline on simulated interface messages in userpages states that this is generally found to be disruptive, and cases of their use should be removed except when they are used in testing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, however please do not re-add the bar. Thank you! Happy editing. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 22:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Nocturnal Festival
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Nocturnal Festival, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Nocturnal Wonderland. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:31, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
