Your attention needed at WP:CHU
Hello. A renamer or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 09:28, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

User/InvalidOS/Sandbox/Creeper (Minecraft) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, User/InvalidOS/Sandbox/Creeper (Minecraft), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * Boothsift, I think it may have been better to move the page to Draft:Creeper (Minecraft) instead of Draft:User/InvalidOS/Sandbox/Creeper (Minecraft). I'm not saying that you did the wrong thing, but I think there was a better place for the page to be moved. From what I could find on your user page, this isn't a mistake made through automated editing.

Non-free rationale for File:MinecraftCreeper.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MinecraftCreeper.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 in section F6 of the 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. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Pikachu article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the. -- Laser brain  (talk)  16:54, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for telling me. Does this apply to GA nominations as well? InvalidOS  talk  16:57, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I believe anyone can nominate an article for GA status, at least according to WP:GAN. -- Laser brain  (talk)  16:59, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Jimbo Wales, you may be blocked from editing. Black Kite (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * @Black Kite I thought you were allowed to edit Jimbo's user page in such a manner on April Fools Day. It seems that I'm wrong. Thank you for notifying me on this. InvalidOS  talk  18:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * April Fools type comments, yes to an extent, but you redirected it (and inserted "Bimbo Wales" there as well). That's a no-no. Black Kite (talk) 18:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.  InvalidOS  talk  18:27, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

New userbox request
This user is crazy is for Woodpeckers.Catfurball (talk) 18:55, 13 May 2019 (UTC) Can you use a photograph of a Red-bellied Woodpecker.

You removing and readding your request makes me not want to. I would advise for you to not do that in the future. Invalid OS (talk) 20:44, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry/Question
I'm sorry I was frustrated with why the woodpeckers userbox wasn't being made. I find it kind of weird that the photograph that I requested would be on both Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. On Wikimedia Commons it says it can be freely shared, but the trouble that you had looks like wasn't. Can you explain to me why it took so long.Catfurball (talk) 16:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I needed to actually be in the mood to do it. That doesn't happen every day. Invalid OS (talk) 16:56, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
