Feedback response
Hi there! I responded to your feedback request. Hopefully my feedback will help you with your article. Best of luck! :) Pianotech (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Where to start on referencing
I was initially puzzled by the post above mine, but I now see that you asked twice about the same article.

Both of us gave you advice about referencing - that is important to address. You can refer to the links either of us gave, but I just looked at the Referencing for beginners, and it is probably the best place to start.-- SPhilbrick  T  22:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I love your enthusiasm
I love your enthusiasm, but it might be a bit premature to be giving others advice, especially on references. Ironically, you are doing something I very much want to encourage; I obtained a file of people who asked questions at Feedback last year, so I could encourage them to return and repay the favor. I just started this project in the last couple of weeks. However, it does take some time to learn some of the intricacies of this place. One does not "number the footnotes", the numbering is done automatically, if you write the citations in the proper format. I hope this doesn't come across as negative - goodness knows we need more help in the feedback forum, but I hope you will get a little more experience first, or be careful to stick to things you are sure of.-- SPhilbrick  T  23:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:OCCU-340x170.JPG
 Thanks for uploading File:OCCU-340x170.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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

There's no evidence from the source that this image has been released into the public domain. Do you have something else to prove this image has been released as you indicated? --Hammersoft (talk) 14:21, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Long-term abuse report rejected
Hello. Your recent long-term abuse report has been rejected because it does not meet the criteria for inclusion. The user you have reported has not abused Wikipedia, so he cannot be added to long-term abuse. The instructions were very clear, so please read them before reporting another user. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or any of the helpers listed here. Do not report users that have disputes with you to long-term abuse.Netalarm talk 13:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Why on earth did you file a long term abuse report on me? Here I thought we were getting along well and I was helping you. What's up? --Hammersoft (talk) 01:08, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Cedar Lake
I noticed the link you added to the article for an image of Cedar Lake, I was wondering if you have it up for review for possible upload at commons ? If not I would like to give it a try. Also thanks for the edit it helps. Mlpearc  powwow  19:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Well now that I see your talk page you probably do, but if not I would still like to get it in the article. Mlpearc  powwow  19:45, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure if you can, I don't have an account at flicker but I can open one and try also if you can't, either way :-). And I didn't mean your page is a mess, I didn't notice the all image post you have, lol. But sure you, me what ever it takes, the image would do the page nice. I don't know if you know that article was just saved in the last couple days. thanx for your reply, Mlpearc   powwow  20:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool thanks, If they need someone to register I can do that. Funny, I had little to do with the article being saved, but I used to live about 2 miles from there, LOL.  Mlpearc   powwow  21:48, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Your signature
At Pending changes/Straw poll, your signature is messed up. It shouldn't take up the whole page's width or cause a line break. Can you please fix it or just make it the default?  — fetch ·  comms   01:28, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation
French Pete, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. Thank you for helping Wikipedia!  Chzz  ► 20:28, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request.
 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
 * Yes, I know I don't have to request the creation of an article, but that's how it turned out because I wasn't sure how to create a disambig. page and used the article wizard to get it right. Glad the page was created! Jsayre64 (talk)  01:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, no worries; the above was an auto thingy when I accepted the AFC. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 01:39, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Block on the IP address I'm using
Because the block on the IP address my account was using was supposed to expire over 3 hours ago:


 * I'd be inclined to grant you IP block exemption, though I'm concerned that the vandalism from follows immediately after one of your edits . Are you this user, or do you know him? —   Tivedshambo   (t/c) 06:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I assure you that Farve Dollar Footlong is not a sockpuppet. However, I know him. He and I were on a shared computer, and when I saw him typing vandalism I tried to stop him, but it was too late. So I was about to revert it, but then ten seconds later reverted it and blocked Farve Dollar Footlong's account as well as the IP address. Jsayre64  (talk)  14:48, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, it's not blocked anymore. I can edit. Thanks! Jsayre64 (talk)  14:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey there
Hey, how about instead of just tagging images for deletion, you take a novel approach and actually help phase in the newer fair use rational templates, it takes the same amount of time as tagging for deletion. The end product is a reference work with images in-place and the reader wins. If you don't want do it for me, imagine your doing it for yourself. That way all you added won't be deleted in 5 years when a new template come along or some new magic-word is demanded in the rationale. Maybe that future person will fix your images, instead of just tagging them for deletion like your doing. If adding the new template is too much of a burden, you could spend an equal amount of your time and notify me on my page that you just tagged an image for deletion. If your just tagging and not fixing or notifying, your just enforcing rules for the sake of enforcing rules. I would rather we work together to have the best reference work available instead of you measuring your success by how many images you tag for deletion each day. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 02:10, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe we've gone through this before. If every non-free image you've uploaded is going to be the "person is dead," "to illustrate person at peak of career" kind of thing, just tell me that and I can generally do so instead of tagging images for deletion. If not things will be much more complicated. Unfortunately I have not received much help recently in reviewing the images of your CCI, but that's how it goes. You should read Copyrights and Non-free content criteria, so that these scenarios don't develop like this later. Jsayre64 (talk)  02:56, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

The right person
You're the right person; you volunteered, and you've been diligent about it. We all have room to learn about copyright; if it were simple, cases would never get to court because lawyers wouldn't fight. :) Just take it on board, and know that, fwiw, I am still very grateful to you for answering my request for volunteers. I don't know if I'll ever be fully comfortable with our image NFC rules. Some of them make sense to me; others, not so much. Richard has never been particularly gung ho about this process, but my goal has always been just to sort what needs fixing from what's good and call it a day so that there are no more lingering concerns.

Anyway, I'm heading out of town tomorrow, so if I don't get a chance before then, let me wish you a Merry Christmas, presuming that doing so is appropriate. If not, happy winter holiday of your choice. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
