STOP IT
Stop attacking me. WP:NPA If you fail to do this, I'll have an admin block you. Ardenn 20:44, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I can't do that. Wikipedia is not a junkyard, it's an encyclopedia. Ardenn 20:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Nick, please tone it down. I do not believe this is an instance of a personal attack, but if there is continued cases of this (see and ), you will be reported on WP:AN/I where other admins might decide it is a personal attack.

Removal of Image:Vancouver Canucks.gif
I removed Image:Vancouver Canucks.gif from your userpage because it is a fair use image. Wikipedia policy, as outlined at Fair_use item #9, prohibits the use of such images outside of the main article namespace. Your userpage is not part of the main article namespace. As such, you may not use such images on your userpage. I have reverted your re-insertion of the images. Please do not re-add the image, or any other fair use images, to your userpage. Thank you. --Durin 21:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

William Hill Sports Book of the Year
Hi, is there a reason that you've red-linked all the entries on this page? I was specifically identifying those pages with real wikilinks...! Budgiekiller 20:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And you've linked to pages that aren't correct. I'm going to revert this change, but please let me know if you have a good reason for your edit. Budgiekiller 20:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I see you've reverted my revert. I'm not getting involved with this, but I would like to point out a couple of things.  (1) When wiki-linking, you should check that the link you've created actually links to the correct person (e.g. your link to Donald McRae who died before he could have written the two books he won awards for, (2) A link does not already exist (e.g. the Seabiscuit link) and (3) that you create the link correctly (e.g. In Black and White: The Untold Story of Joe Louis and Jesse Owens, not In Black and White: The Untold Story of Joe Louis and Jesse Owens.  I understand that you want the books linked to, and I will be doing this, but in the meantime, please wiki-link with care.  Budgiekiller 06:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Please stop incorrectly wiki-linking as you did with Donald McRae and Stephen Jones. These incorrect links are easily overlooked and add unnecessary inaccuracies to the Wikipedia. Budgiekiller 11:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It is important to keep a cool head, despite any comments against you. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and action can be taken against the other parties if necessary. Your involvement in attacking back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors, and lead to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Ardenn 20:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

To address your concern, I didn't maliciously blank the page. I think my browswer accidentally cut it off. I'll try to be more careful in the future to ensure it doesn't happen. Ardenn 20:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Amandasdghj.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Amandasdghj.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Genidealingwithfairuse 15:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Morganpr.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Morganpr.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. cholmes75 15:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Morgandrivevid.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Morgandrivevid.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cholmes75 00:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Please read the licensing tag information, as it states "for identification of and critical commentary on the software in question." You linked the image to an article that has nothing to do with the software, therefore fair use does not apply.  --cholmes75 00:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Usage on the Windows Media Player article is fine, usage on the Morgan Pressel article is not. If it is removed from that article I will be happy to remove the deletion tag.  --cholmes75 00:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Here's the deal. Since it is actaully fair use of copyright, and all atheletes who appear on sports illustrated covers are allowed to have a fair use image of the magazine on their bio page, then from that precident I will keep the Screen shot on Morgan's bio page in lieu of a non-copyrighted image. --Nick Dillinger 00:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Nice job putting the images in the GLIFL and Battle Creek Crunch pages!
Thanks! I had tried to put some in before, but with no luck. Could you putting ones in for the Lehigh Valley Outlawz, Marion Mayhem, New York/New Jersey Revolution, Port Huron Pirates, Rochester Raiders, and Muskegon Thunder? Thanks again, M. Burmy. 19 May 2006 12:23 CDT (UTC)

PKD catgorisation
Hi, thanks for your editing of the Vulcan's Hammer article. I noticed it was put into a list of short PKD stories. It should be in a list of his novels, where did this list of short stories come from? Its different to the list on the main Phillip K Dick article? Alastairward 09:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
