American Sparrow Featured Picture Nomination
I thought maybe you should check my edit2 again which I've remade. Now there's no "lost detail" and there is still the color correction you like to see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/American_Tree_Sparrow

Missing image Image:Spizella-arborea-002.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Spizella-arborea-002.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Spizella-arborea-002.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Spizella-arborea-002.jpg, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot (talk) 13:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

For comparison
Please take a moment to examine Featured_pictures/History/World_War_I. Wikipedia has four featured photographs of WWI, all of which are lower quality files than the image you rejected for quality. I nominated the one that was weakest technically for delisting, and that's being kept for EV even though the battle it describes had less strategic importance than the Battle of Jerusalem.

If you want...
I find more of this sort of thing than I have time to restore. If you're interested, though, I'd be glad to coach. Best wishes, Durova Charge! 18:32, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Katrina
I noticed that you had nominated a image of Hurricane Katrina a couple months back and I was wondering if you were interested in this animation: its at this address, http://eobglossary.gsfc.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/Images/katrina_mod_2005271_lrg.mpg. The animation is very good, and if you nominate it for FPC, please credit me with the discovery. -- Meld    shal   13:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Newton North Tiger Mascot Logo .png
Thanks for uploading Image:Newton North Tiger Mascot Logo .png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 04:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I know we're almost at 2009, and you gave me this two years ago, but I sorta just noticed it. I don't know how but that page was completely unknown to me until now. But anyway, thanks a huge ton for that! I think the current version is better. ;) Cheers, Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! :D  09:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

It has occoured to me that many persons do not trust Wikipedia due to the fact that anyone can edit it. I think we should advertise that we constantly chech sources and cites. Many people think that we do not have the capeablilty to check all edits. We should allow the general public to know of our technologies to prevent and reverse vandalisim and the punishments of offenders. We are not trusted by all but I believe in Wikipedia to make it happen. Someone could start a project to do these things.

P.S. Pass this message to every single wikipedia user starting with the project council. I have chosen you for the "N" and "O" section. Please pass it on to all members under "N" and "O" on the project council. And reply on my talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmoc2012tms (talk • contribs) 23:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:"Single-Use" Images
Yeah, I saw. Tony seems to be after some kind of change in guideline. But this, following his spamming of his own nominations, would seem to suggest he just doesn't quite get the philosophy of FPC.

Reviewer rights
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.  Mae din\ talk 16:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:VenusDonMiguel.gif


A tag has been placed on File:VenusDonMiguel.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:46, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not (again) replace the removed transgender sidebar in the article "Cisgender"
Thank you. The article is about "cisgender", not "transgender". The whole point - and anyone remotely familiar with the subject will know already that it is a highly charged and polemic subject - well the only point of a word like "cisgender" is to identify that which is not "transgender". You mentioned how you were going to replace the sidebar if there were no objections because you thought people would find a link to the two as helpful. That is like linking the mashed potatoes article with a gravy article. They may go together in some peoples minds, but this is Wikipedia, not Pinterest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.14.175.114 (talk • contribs)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
 * Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.
