Orphaned non-free image (File:Ayn Rand Institute.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading File:Ayn Rand Institute.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 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 23:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fatima Massacre


The article Fatima Massacre has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No reliable sources to verify notability. Yar!

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Chzz  ►  01:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Re : Non-free images used under terms of fair use on Wikipedia are not permitted in userspace, per WP:NFCC #9. Please do not restore this image to the userbox again. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 20:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/List of papabili in the 2013 papal conclave until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- --JamboQueen (talk) 17:19, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Who/m
For what it's worth, was a perfectly correct use of "whom" (as it serves as the direct object in the relative clause). But I've always been a fan of the rule of thumb that says, "if you find yourself asking whether who or whom should be used, the sentence is probably already too complicated and should be reworded." So in that spirit, good job on the constructive edit! Ibadibam (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

 * 5) Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Updated Ayn Rand Institute Logo
Hello, JayWhitney. I noticed that you are the user who uploaded the logo that is currently featured in the Ayn Rand Institute article. Unfortunately, that logo is outdated. I want to upload the new logo. I emailed the Ayn Rand Institute asking for permission to upload their new logo onto Wikimedia Commons, and they explicitly granted me permission. However, I'm not sure where to go from here. Can you offer me any advice? Am I allowed to upload the logo if I have an email from the Ayn Rand Institute granting me explicit permission? How were you able to upload the last one? Thanks. Michipedian (talk) 20:52, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Li-Meng Yan, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 18:01, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Li-Meng Yan has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits.   — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 18:04, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
