Removing stuff from your talk page
Please don't blank your own talk page, it's considered bad etiquette. Messages are placed here for your attention, and it can be very useful for others to see these too. For instance, the welcome message above and the date stamp in it tell others that you've been welcomed recently, and that you have the welcome there to show you where to go. If you had any warnings placed on your page, it helps others to know that you have been warned about a certain thing before. Removing warnings (as opposed to just notices and miscellaneous messages) from your talk page is considered by many to be vandalism. Trust me, the resources I've given you in the 'Welcome!' section above are VERY useful - I wish I'd had them when I signed up.

If your talk page feels like it's getting too long or cluttered, the established way to shorten it is by archiving your talk page, specifically the Moving method. This also means that you have an archived history of messages in case you need to refer back to them at some point. Anyway, thanks for reading this long message, and hope to see you around some time. Oh, and well done on the Stargate related edits - you've enhanced a lot of SG-related articles. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 09:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thruportals.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Thruportals.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. βcommand 22:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:StriderBuster.png
Thanks for uploading Image:StriderBuster.png. 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:57, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
