You put a {totallydisputed}} on Nayif Fahd Mutliq Al Usaymi.

When the tag expands it tells readers to look to the talk page for an explanation for the tag's placement. But you didn't put an explanation for your tag on Talk:Nayif Fahd Mutliq Al Usaymi.

Let me suggest that if you aren't serious enough to be able to offer the explanation, you should reconsider placing the tag.

Have a nice day. -- Geo Swan 03:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:ObamaRTVAwards.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:ObamaRTVAwards.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Metro-map.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Metro-map.gif. The image description 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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 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.

Image Tagging for Image:Wjlogo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Wjlogo.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

College Football Project
Hi, and welcome to the College football Wikiproject! We are a group of editors who love college football and work to improve Wikipedia's coverage of this sport.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Please add WikiProject College football to the talk page and list your new article in the new articles section.
 * Looking for somewhere to help? Please see our article to do list or project to do list

If you have any ideas you would like to share or if there is any way your fellow college football fans can help you, please feel free to ask on the project talk page. --Mecu 20:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I see you just added a main template tag. Great. A good amount of that section probably applies to all of UofM so can be moved over and thin out the main page... &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib Reverts 13:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I've had to delete the image, since we don't have the permission we need. If you can get permission to post the image under the GFDL or under Public domain, feel free to repost it. Sorry. Mango juice talk 18:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

See Copyrights for more information. Hope that helps. Mango juice talk 19:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * A couple other points. You said the picture was not copyrighted: what people don't realize is that having a copyright is the norm, you don't have to claim it anymore, though that used to be true.  If the holder has really released all copyright, you can put PD-user on the picture when you upload it; if they haven't released the copyright but they've released all rights, you can use no rights reserved.

Reversions
No the prob was entirely my fault. between clicking 'Rollback', and the computer actually rolling the page back, you reverted it, so it thought you were the vandal. Sorry! Nothing intended --Deon555|talk| e 00:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello from a member of WikiProject American Animation!
As of October 2006, our WikiProject has somehow faltered in the past few months, due to little activity, and now I am counting on you to help me bring it back to life. The main page of our project, from the looks of things, is halfway done; your appreciation is greatly welcome if you want to get it complete. You can also help pick out our core articles for WP:1.0 assessment. Also, look out for our project template, USAnimation, to come on Monday. Wherever you are right now, I wish you a happy return and best of editing! --Slgr @ ndson (page - messages - contribs) 21:16, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Riff Raffy Daffy
A tag has been placed on Riff Raffy Daffy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:Riff Raffy Daffy. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such material.SkerHawx 22:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there!!!!

This may be the LAST The Beatles project newsletter you receive!

Why? Because we believe you are inactive or possibly inactive. If you want to move yourself back to active, and get copies going forward, please remove your name from WikiProject The Beatles/Outreach/Newsletter/PossiblyInactive and add yourself to WikiProject The Beatles/Outreach/Newsletter/Active. Thanks for your interest in the project. This may be the last notice you will receive, it depends on whim. ++Larbot - run by User:Lar - t/c 20:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bugsboid.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bugsboid.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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. BetacommandBot 18:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated
Hello there, I am a fellow member of Wikiproject jazz. I was wondering, if you had a moment to spare, if you would be willing to give your opinion on a matter at Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 15 concerning a category I created. The category is, and it has been proposed that the article be merged with Musicians of New Orleans and American jazz musicians. This is precisely why I created the category, because it seemed to me the birthplace of jazz music and continous modern symbol of jazz certainly deserves a category unto itself. Regardless of your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your input there so as to have a discussion over the matter. Thanks. (Mind meal 03:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC))

New categories for jazz musicians
Hello fellow member of WikiProject Jazz! I am delivering this message to all members of the project to inform them of a major addition to the evolution of this project. Please see Category:Jazz musicians by genre to familiarize yourselves with the new categories for jazz musicians. Most of the genre categories contain sub-genres in their drop-down menus, so be sure to open them up! I am sending this to everyone to speed up the population of these categories. The sub-genres have been carefully researched to ensure they belong under their corresponding "mother genre"! And please, when in doubt do not categorize something via an assumption. Well, that about covers it! Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.(Mind meal 05:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC))

Replaceable fair use Image:Gw_mg2.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Gw_mg2.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 17:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hecklinghare.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hecklinghare.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.

Notability of Orgy in Rhythm
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Orgy in Rhythm, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Orgy in Rhythm seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Orgy in Rhythm, 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.

Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate
Greetings,

My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.

I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?

With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.

I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.

Thank-you,

John-Paul Mcvea
