Commons transfers
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to transfer useful free licensed images to Commons. Please be aware that the transfer bots are quite stupid (for example if the image is not an orignal to en:Wikipedia but was scanned or uploaded from elsewhere, the source information on the bot display will pretty much ALWAYS be WRONG; categories added can be nonsensical). As part of the transfer process, I suggest you take time to check and correct any misinformation and make sure categories are approprate. Thanks! Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Baseball Uniform.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Baseball Uniform.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Anna Jean Ayres
A tag has been placed on Anna Jean Ayres requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Buffalo Sabres head coaches
Hi MFC, the FLC for List of Buffalo Sabres head coaches is getting a little long in the tooth now and you asked a while ago not to close it while you were working on it. Can you let me (or Scorpion0422) know where you are with it so either of us can make a final (if appropriate) assessment for promotion or otherwise? Hope you're well, cheers for now. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi MFC, another quick point - I've made a couple of changes to the lead, a grammar issue and a leading zero - but I noticed you have this sentence "Punch Imlach, Scotty Bowman and Roger Neilson have all made it to the Hockey Hall of Fame" followed by "Hall of Famer Marcel Pronovost, who " - so should Pronovost be in the original list with Imlack, Bowman and Neilson? Let me know when you're done. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, Pronovost is not colour coded in the table, there seems to be a number of inconsistencies in the way you state the term (i.e. whole term linked without spaces between en-dash and years, individual years linked without spaces between en-dash and years, individual years linked with spaces between en-dash and years) which needs to be cleared up. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Finally your note 8 says "Thus any coach who has two separate terms as head coach is only counted once. " - Bowman had three seperate terms so I'd modify the note to read "two or more..." The Rambling Man (talk) 07:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

A Featured List contest
Grettings. FL directors Scorpion0422 and The Rambling Man have decided to run a contest for FL contributors. We are trying to get some interest in the process and get some FLs for the under-represented topics. If you would like to learn more about this contest, you can find such information here. If you are uninterested in it, then you could still help out by reviewing FLCs submitted by the entrants. Thanks for the time, Scorpion0422 18:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion0422 18:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 12:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Contest
No, per precedent, those would fall under the various sports for those awards. It does seem somewhat unfair considering that Sephiroth is doing an Academy Awards list (BTW, Oscar list wouldn't be a bad idea, there are lots of sources for them). However, the previous Oscar-related FLs are already under the awards category and I asked several on IRC about it and they seem to think they fit more under awards than media. Sorry, Scorpion0422 00:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That depends, what kind of info will it have? You could start a new list if you like, but starting from scratch would make things harder for you. -- Scorpion0422 00:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see why you couldn't do it. Just a small note, several Oscar related lists have been deleted in the past. It wouldn't hurt to take a look and make sure a similar list hasn't been deleted. -- Scorpion0422 01:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I just discovered this list: List of films receiving six or more Academy Awards. Perhaps you should move it to five or more and work on it. That way, you have a template to work on. -- Scorpion0422 01:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Dallas Chaparrals/San Antonio Spurs head coaches
hey cookie I would like to know why'd you move the List of Dallas Chaparrals/San Antonio Spurs head coaches to List of San Antonio Spurs head coaches? It seemed kind of fine to me the way it was. They weren't just the Spurs, before that they were Chaparrals. -- Gman 124 talk 22:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * RE: Well if you are worried that people might confuse the two names by thinking that they are separate teams then why are there separate pages for Dallas Chaparrals, Texas Chaparrals, and San Antonio Spurs while they are the names for the same team, then shouldn't they also be merged because people will get confused about it too. -- Gman 124 talk 23:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Never Mind what I said above, I guess we still need the article on Dallas Chaparrals since they were an ABA team, though I still think the Dallas Chaparrals and Texas Chaparrals pages could still be merged. -- Gman 124 talk 23:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

List of films receiving six or more Academy Awards
To - User Talk:Milk's Favorite Cookie

From - User Talk:Joseph A. Spadaro

Hello. I noticed that you recently changed the name of the above article to "List of films receiving five or more Academy Awards". I was very confused by that move. May I ask what was behind that, because maybe I missed something? You had referred to a discussion about this rename ... but when I went to the article's discussion page, I did not see any discussion there about this. At your convenience, please reply at my Talk Page (User talk:Joseph A. Spadaro). Thanks a lot. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 02:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC))

 * Hey Milk, this user has raised a concern about moving this list to "five or more" as it would apparently make the list include over 50 movie titles and therefore may not be that much of a a distinction. Perhaps it should be discussed on the article talk page first? xenocidic (talk) 15:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
