A Personal Appeal to Wikimedia Founder Jimmy Wales
Dear Jim, You have gotta be out of your mind. I'm never, ever going to give a goddamn dime to this house of cards. Every intricately wrought jewel of correctness I have ever placed here was undone by someone whose ego rides on their self-appointed ability to make some page their own personal crusade. Every page is the lowest common denominator of its field, whittled down to that way over time just like pebbles in a stream. Every "citation" just somebody else's web page anyway. It's truly a sandcastle, and your offer doesn't even include a deed. The notion that I would give real money to a million idiot crusaders with a million different chips on their shoulders is insane and insulting. I have had enough of being helpful.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Luaforge.net logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Luaforge.net logo.png. 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:IUP-screenshot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:IUP-screenshot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Sputnik-screenshot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Sputnik-screenshot.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Sea Shepherd article
I don't want to get into a full edit war, so that is the last reversion that I'm doing. Please do not change the method back to Terrorism before discussing the issue on the talk page of the article and seeing that a consensus is reached. So far, there has not been a consensus to flatly label SSCS as a terrorist organization. Djk3 (talk) 16:29, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and my edit summary got cut off. It's unsurprising that the people whose actions SSCS opposes say negative things about them, and we can't take their words as support for the label.  The laws do not support the label either, unless SSCS is convicted of breaking those laws.  Finally, the label of "terrorism" is very different from the label of "eco-terrorism," at the very least in connotation, and any claims that SSCS is an eco-terrorist organization should go into the body of the article and be very well supported before SSCS is flatly labeled a "terrorist" organization in the infobox.  There is currently one such claim in the article, but I think that it needs much more support before definitively labeling SSCS as a terrorist organization. Djk3 (talk) 16:36, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
