User talk:Pelagius1

Greetings...
Hello, Pelagius1, and welcome to Wikipedia!
 * To get started, click on the link that says "welcome".
 * I (and the rest of us here, too) hope you like it here and decide to stay!
 * Happy editing!   Skomorokh   17:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message on my talkpage, I have responded there. Regards,  Skomorokh   20:18, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

You might also be interested in joining WikiProject Objectivism. Regards,  Skomorokh   20:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Watchlist
If you don't know about the watchlist already, I strongly suggest learning to use it--it will make it much easier to track changes to articles and pages you are interested in, and it also covers talk pages. You can set it up so that by default it adds any page you edit to your watchlist (you can remove them later). Welcome to the project! TallNapoleon (talk) 21:49, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey there
Pelagius1, are you by any chance the Pelagius who posts (or used to post) on Hatrack? Or on AI Jane? Just wondering. -Lisa (talk) 14:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Reliable Source Help
Hi Pelagius1, I responded to your query on my talk page. --Karbinski (talk) 14:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Debate on cross-talk page
Hi, Pelagius1. I just deleted the most recent comments made by Neil Parille‎ and yourself on the Objectivism cross-talk page. I had previously left Neil a message encouraging him to remove his comments because they were inappropriately focused on debating the subject matter. Unfortunately, he did not do so before you saw them and responded. So rather than let the cross-talk page get taken totally off track, I deleted both his comment and your reply. I explained this on the cross-talk page also, but thought I owed you the courtesy of a direct explanation. --RL0919 (talk) 16:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

I'll also note for the record that based on these edits, you are the same editor as User:72.199.110.160 who was topicbanned from editing Ayn Rand related articles for six months beginning in May 2009. These kinds of restrictions apply to the editor behind the IP address and/or user name, so you should be restricting yourself to the talkpages until November. I note that apart from a few early edits in May, you have done so, which is fine.--Slp1 (talk) 13:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Walter Williams.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Walter Williams.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:ThomasSowell.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:ThomasSowell.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 06:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Walter Williams.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Walter Williams.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 06:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
