Self reference on the Word Association game
Hi Michael, thanks! I've seen someone else use a user page on the game, but it was a friend's, as I recall. I initially thought it might seem a little Narcissistic of me, but then I figured that I should use the first thing that came to my head, and that was me. Sorry to hear someone beat you to putting your own name in earlier...I hate getting beaten to an association when I've got a good one. Phileas 08:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: NY 17
Thanks for adding the info to NY 17. I've been trying to restore a lot of the content that was removed when an editor believed that the I-86 article was more important than the NY 17 article, so any additions to NY 17 are welcome. Thanks again. -- T M F T - C 16:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Baseball diagram
That diagram with the "1st" and "2nd" was stolen from another article anyway. If you'd like to make one with either the traditional defensive abbreviations, or even the 1 through 9 that are used for scoring (such as the ones scorebooks and programs usually have), that would be great. Thanks for the help. -- dakern74 (talk) 00:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Re your edit here and comment in the edit summary: Thanks for catching that. The reason it wasn't a wikilink is because the original first reference to Britney was taken out by me a few days ago.

License tagging for Image:Frierson_as_matty.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Frierson_as_matty.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for originally uploading the image of the Finger Lakes map.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Nakednewslogo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Nakednewslogo.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Armando Galarraga

 * Thanks for the correction on Koufax's perfect game. I agree with you that there's no reason why a perfect game shouldn't have its own separate article, although from a practical standpoint, there are few such games that would need to be described separately from the pitcher himself.  My view is that, to the extent that a pitcher is "honored" on Wikipedia, it is more of an honor to have his crowning achievement fully described within his article rather than to say nothing more than a sentence and "Full article: Perfect game of so-and-so".  Koufax, like Cy Young, Catfish Hunter, and U.S. Senator Jim Bunning, was famous for more than a single game, so a spinoff article is appropriate.  Generally, a game, whether it's part of the World Series or a record setting game, can be described within one paragraph and a link could be added.  In this instance, I think that the nomination of the Galarraga article was silly, just somebody trying to make a point and wasting a lot of people's time in the process, but that happens all the time.  Anyway, thanks for checking that out.  Mandsford 19:19, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Word association deletion
Nope, there was no discussion. See Deletion review/Log/2010 October 25. Thryduulf (talk) 16:50, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, technically there was a discussion but the word association pages were not officially part of the nomination (one commenter said everything in sandbox space should go), were not tagged, and page authors were not notified. Nor were any of the previous discussions taken into account (commenters at the low participation mfd were not even made aware that it existed). This is why I initiated the DRV. Thryduulf (talk) 10:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

The main WA page has over 34,000 revisions(!) and so it may require a steward to undelete it (I think that this is because (un)deleting that many revisions puts strain on the servers). I'll leave a note for whoever undeleted the others. Thryduulf (talk) 22:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Carrierclassicpregame.png
Thank you for uploading File:Carrierclassicpregame.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 01:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * P.S. I updated the shade of green used to correspond to Pantone 342, which is the color specified in the MUTCD. I also cloned the LHCT marker in brown since I remembered that there is a spur along M-134 on the ferry to Drummond Island.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * P.P.S. The Seaway Trail marker is fair-use. As far as we've determined, it is under copyright from the group behind the trail designation. I uploaded it on enwp with the fair-use information and tagged it for deletion on Commons. The old guidance from the Shields Department was to create PNGs only at a low resolution for copyright-protected markers, but SVG is actually fine so long as we don't display them larger than needed on the articles. So the SVG is still A Good Thing™ to have.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:10, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for my first Barnstar!
 * I completed the Michigan Heritage Route signs, but no one has mentioned if they are PD or fair use, so I have not uploaded them yet. The colors are from the gifs, which I know can be unreliable, so change if you like.
 * I am thinking it might work better if I did the creating, and just e-mail them to you and let you handle the uploading. I am not good at writing appropriate use notices on the uploads. Any thoughts on this?
 * → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 02:47, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * They are PD. The GIFs are marked PD as MDOT has specifically stated, and I've logged in an OTRS ticket, that any highway markers they use are PD. You can copy the descriptions from the exiting GIFs here on enwp when you upload them to Commons, which would also copy the PD notice and OTRS ticket information.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

If you're up for it, File:NFSB marker.gif is the current GIF-format graphic for the National Forest Scenic Byway marker. It's PD as a work of the US Forest Service, hosted on Commons, and could use a SVG replacement. However, there is no rush, so if you have other projects, do them first by all means.

Ohio Byway
You did such good work on the Michigan Heritage Route markers, I was wondering if you could remake File:Ohio Byway.png as a SVG? If you can, that would be appreciated!  Imzadi 1979  →   06:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It is done. It is in Commons under the name Ohio Byway sign.svg  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 10:45, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks!  Imzadi 1979  →   01:25, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Up for another one? I extracted File:Alaska Scenic Byway.svg, but it seems that the Alaska DOT&PF built the vector file with a series of raster tiles. Maybe you could work your magic at some point to completely vectorize it? I put up a request at Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop. I'm hoping that their solution isn't just to re-export it as a PNG.  Imzadi 1979  →   17:37, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

File:First crossword.png
Hi, the finnish crosswords society Sanasepot noted (in finnish) that First crossword.png which is uploaded by you is not scanned version from the newspaper but a redrawn so i added the information to the description.

2014 Downtown Ottawa Shooting
I believe this title is more specific than simply "2014 Ottawa Shooting" since there have been numerous shootings in Ottawa this year.

Also, if you want to change a page title, please move the page so that history is not lost, do not simply cut and paste. If you were starting a new page without knowing that one was already started, then I understand the confusion between our two articles. No problem. -- Kndimov (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Photos
I just saw your two-weeks-ago note to Smallbones about the Tunkhannock photo. Would you be at all able to help with getting photos in the region? Check the maps at User:Nyttend/Pennsylvania — thirteen Wyoming County municipalities don't have photos, and there are lots of unillustrated places in surrounding counties: Susquehanna, 26; Bradford, 27; Luzerne, 48; and Lackawanna, 23. Sullivan is fully illustrated, but it's one of just five counties statewide with a photo for each municipality. Smallbones and others of us have been trying to find photos for as many municipalities as possible, but we're still missing images for about 40% of them statewide, and any help you can provide (especially by getting new photos) would be quite appreciated. Nyttend (talk) 06:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Some places don't have distinguished sites; for these, I'll typically try to get either a community building (e.g. a church or the municipal building) or simply a representative scene, which is typically a residential street in a borough or a residential street in a township village, or open countryside in a township or a borough that's largely rural.  See Raccoon Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania (scenery), Big Beaver, Pennsylvania (borough building), Wampum, Pennsylvania (commercial district), Marion Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania (scenery), and Conway, Pennsylvania (typical residential neighborhood) for examples of what I mean.  Just look for something that can serve as a symbol of the municipality, either because it's an important spot or because it's representative of a scene that's common in the municipality.

Pure Michigan Byway marker
Tomorrow, MDOT officially unveils the signage for the Pure Michigan Byways. Can you recreate that marker, show here, as a SVG that could be used in articles and in the list's infobox?  Imzadi 1979  →   20:56, 15 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I will try, but that is a very low resolution image. The road and the text can be done, but the trees are a bit fuzzy.  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 23:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * There's another version here as well.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:01, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have created it. However, I do not know the copyright status for uploading to Commons. Is it the same as for the Heritage Routes? Or should I just upload it and you can edit the status?  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 05:10, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, same as the MHR markers. An MDOT rep has stated that their highway markers, which would include this, are PD. Because it uses the Pure Michigan logo, it should note that it has trademarked content.  Imzadi 1979  →   05:40, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * So yes, just add trademarked to the license template(s) from the Michigan Heritage Route markers and note that the Michigan Economic Development Corporation has a trademark on the Pure Michigan logo component of the marker.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:04, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The sign is uploaded at File:PureMichiganByway.svg. Please check the status to make sure it is worded properly.  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 21:10, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks you, . I adjusted some things to copy the templates as they were used on the other markers, and to give you credit for recreating the sign in SVG format.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:19, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

List of NASCAR tracks
I was looking at IndyCar tracks as I got to wondering if there were any international races held. Indeed there are. I got to looking at NASCAR tracks and I wondered why the location are listed as such. I was thinking of changing it, but I thought to start a discussion on the talk page. I seen you brought this up years ago to no response. The IndyCar track list has the locations listed city, state or province, and country in that order. I understand why you started a discussion, but since there was no response, you should have been bold and changed it. It might seem odd that it's being brought up now. Being bold is what you are encouraged to do even if it gets reverted. Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 06:58, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
