Help needed at the Jobs sub-project of WPFF
I see that you're on wikibreak; I hope you won't mind helping me out when you return. A new user, User:ShadowKinght, has come along and created articles for the Gambler and Engineer job classes, and has added a link (currently red) for a no-doubt planned Morpher article. I left a note on his talk page explaining the planned merges into the main character class article, but I don't think he read it (or he's chosen to be obstinate; I don't know which). He found the sub-project to add his links but apparently didn't read the talk page. I'm trying not to bite the newbies, and to not be as frustrated as I am, but I'm trying to handle this with no apparent response. Do you have any advice on how to handle this, or shall I just go ahead with the merges and eventual AfDs? Thanks in advance. -RaCha&#39;ar 04:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia MTG set
I just stumbled upon Image:COTW MTG Card.png and Image:Jimbo mtg card.jpg and see the first mentions there is a 'set'. Is it linked on any page? There should be a template or category for them, so one can easily view all of them :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Block this computer
I'm not entirely sure if you have the capability, but this a computer at a high school, and you're likley to get nothing but vandalism from it. It is connected to a central server, so I'm not sure if blocking the IP adress from editing will cause the entire school to be unable to edit, or if just this computer will be blocked, but it's something to look into.--170.158.74.101 17:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

See ...I am now an admin and have been a project director since Jan 2006. Quite a change huh? Hope you and yours are well. Rlevse 13:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Guy_FC_menu.png. 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.

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 rationale for Image:Manic Miner Screenshot.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Manic Miner Screenshot.png. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 non-free media 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. Pak21 11:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Union jack proposed.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Union jack proposed.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Tartan Nutter 12:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Amazon links
I reverted your revert of my edits to Elektra and Wolverine: The Redeemer. Links to commercial stores should be avoided following WP:EL #6 "Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services. For example, instead of linking to a commercial bookstore site, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources."

There is nothing on Amazon that can't be found in reliable sources. (Emperor 11:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC))
 * But that's where I got some of the information for the article from! (Stuff that wasn't included in the other references.) Yes we should avoid it, and if you can find the information elsewhere, go ahead and replace it. But for the moment, we must cite to the source of the information! --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 09:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't get back to you on this (it is usual to reply on someone's talk page so they know). The bottom line is you just can't link to it. If there is an issue with this feel free to take it up on the Comics Project talk page. (Emperor 16:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC))
 * That's the last straw. I'm done editing wikipedia. If guidelines aren't flexible enough to allow me to link to my references, then screw it. I'm too tired to argue. --JiFish, Former editor 2005-2007.


 * I really think this is a very minor issue. I know it can be a pain but what I do when I find something useful on Amazon or a blog/wiki/forum (which usually can't be used as a reference either) is use the information to find a reliable source, the big issue is not necessarily listing everywhere you got the information from but providing enough sources to satisfy verifiability guidelines - so if you say the ISBN and creators are something then people checking the sources can confirm this. I did a quick look around and found the following, , , and . I often use places like Amazon as a quick way of tracking down information but anything they have is available elsewhere and so you can always find a way to source the information. I wouldn't let this put you off editing Wikipedia (for the record I've removed similar store links from dozens of articles so it isn't anything personal. (Emperor 18:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC))

Ashida Kim
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Ashida Kim, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
