Thanks for coming along and fixing up all my little mistakes in the Warhammer 40,000 articles. I really appreciate it Saberwyn
 * No problem. I used to be a big 40K fan years ago (still got a box of random minatures sitting *somewhere*), and I've enjoyed reading the articles and finding out about new parts of the universe I never found out about before -- Palfrey 18:20, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the Halifax page! It was a total hack job. Someone added about 1000 words of history to the HRM article three weeks ago and its taken this long to rationalise all the stuff and sort it out. Still very much a work in progress. WayeMason 16:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Labour Party fixes. How do you do that trick of reverting a whole bunch of little changes? Can it be done using popups? Thanks! MarkThomas 19:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I actually did a *complete* reversion to the older version, which is usually the fastest method to revert vandalism. Goto page history, goto the last correct version, then click 'edit page'. There's this warning 'You are editing a prior version of this page', and you could probably just save this page, but I tend to select the whole page code and copy it into an edit of the current version (which works fine). - Palfrey 22:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Mdirs
You created Articles for deletion/Mdirs to suggest that Mdirs be deleted. User:TBC replied there: "Note that redirects should be listed on WP:RfD and not WP:AfD."
 * Please note that WP:RfD says: "Redirects should not be deleted simply because they do not have any incoming links. Please do not list this as a reason to delete a redirect." --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I removed the prod that you replaced on the article Deathknot Records, because the next step after prod tag removal is WP:AFD. Feel free to comment on the article's AfD page. Regards, ... disco spinster  talk  01:27, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand singles
Hi - you seem to be adding music notability templates to quite a few New Zealand singles (such as {{Ray Of Shine]]). These singles may not have had big exposure worldwide, but they are all of quite significant notability. Without meaning to be rude, might I suggest that these be left to be expanded by the New Zealand music editors who are currently working on them, rather than being tagged by someone who may not have much knowledge of the New zealand music scene? Believe me, there are NZ editors who will tag truly non-notable music articles from this part of the world! :) Grutness...wha?  04:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

List of Chadian companies
Hi, I checked the Wiki guidelines mentioned in the notice you placed on the article. As far as I can tell, the list conforms to Wikipedia list guidelines. Why did you place the notice on the article? Thanks. --McTrixie 15:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Notability re-review of BestCrypt

Sordid City Blues
I've added the "prod" template to the article Sordid City Blues, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Sordid City Blues. You may remove the dated prod template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Brad Beattie (talk) 02:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Health Wiki Research A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Fair use rationale for Image:Rolling_Kansas.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rolling_Kansas.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Project FMF (talk) 21:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:A Hat Full of Sky Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A Hat Full of Sky Cover.jpg. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Zimbabwe
Hi

I see that you have removed my contribution "On a map of Africa, Zimbabwe can be easily recognised as its shape looks like a cartoon caricature of Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990."

You have also labelled it as junk. I think this is POV. I am not in the habit of writing junk. Rather, mnemonics are useful aids in life, and I have suggested that we need a Wikimnemonics. Any comment? Ergateesuk (talk) 06:28, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
