If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

WikiProject Rugby union
Hi, I saw your edits on the Rugby 06 article, then noticed you play as well, feel free to join to Rugby union project. Cheers Cvene64 02:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the offer. I am going to look on that project page, and if I find something to add, I sure will :). By the way, do you play as well? -Jort227 15:05, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't play club anymore (I stopped this year), I have just been too busy this year, but I will probably start again soon-ish. Where abouts do you play? Cvene64 10:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well to be honest I haven't played in a little while because of a bad injury. However, I am planning to start again next season. I am going to play in a city near my hometown. Allthough, I live in the Netherlands so you probably don't know any clubs here ;-). But where did you play? And did you play in a senior team or a youth team (I don't know your age so :-P). Since I am 16 (allmost 17) I will play in a youth team :-) - Jort227 19:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No I don't really know any clubs in the Netherlands, how big is rugby there? I only ever played in a local club team, I'm one year older than you. Sorry I took so long to reply as well, its been like over a month! Cheers. Cvene64 17:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Seasonsbox big.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Seasonsbox big.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 16:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Maxis-stub
Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha?  01:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've proposed to rename this and Doom-stub at Stub_types_for_deletion/Log/2007/July/16, to ElectronicArts-stub and IdSoftware-stub (respectively). Thought you might be interested. I've also proposed new stub types here. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 08:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MySimsWiibox.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MySimsWiibox.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. 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. Bigr Tex  22:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:MySimsDSbox.jpg
I have tagged Image:MySimsDSbox.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. Bigr Tex  22:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:MySimsWiibox.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MySimsWiibox.jpg. 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. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia: WikiProject Swimming
Hi there, Ive recently joined the WP:WikiProject Swimming team. Im committed to getting on top of the project. Since you have listed yourself as a participant i thought i'd let you know what i've done. Ive got a bot thats going through the relevant catagouries that apply to the project and tagging them with our banner. Ive done all the stub class articles and assessed them automaticlly, and im starting on the 3000 other articles that ive identified. So this will mean that we will have all the articles in the scope of the project together and we can start working on them. So if you have any spare time theres going to be thousands of articles that will need assessing. There are around 2000 articles Just in Stub-Class swimming articles, and most of these will need the importance assessed. I think it's important we get all this assessing done, so we can start working on the articles.

Don't fell pressured to start assessing articles, i just thought that since theres going to be so many articles, you should know that theres heaps of work that needs to be done, ill be trying my best once my exams are finished. Remember many hands make light work.
