Image problem
Well, thank you for coming for help. Although images are not my specialty, I can hopefully point you in the right direction:
 * Media copyright questions
 * Non-free content
 * If this doesn't help, try bringing this to WP:AN. Someone there may be able to help.
 * I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but hopefully I've pointed you to a place that will. -MBK004 19:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Xpactivation.gif}
Thank you for uploading Image:Xpactivation.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. 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.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Rollback request
Hi Resplendent. With only ~300 mainspace edits, I'm just not comfortable that you're fully capable of the responsibility quite yet. As an alternative until you get some more experience, look into installing and using Twinkle to help with vandalism fighting. Feel free to come back to WP:RFR in a few weeks and request rollback again. Until then, keep up the good work! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I forgot to mention that if you have any questions or need any help, let me know and I will be happy to oblige. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:48, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Direct vs Nonstop
A direct flight is when it's the same plane, same flight number taking you from point A to point C. It may stop along the way, but as long as the same plane and flight number conditions are met, it's direct. Eg: Delta's ATL-DKR-JNB flight, or BA's LHR-SIN-SYD flight.

A non-stop flight is when there are no stops along the way. Eg: One of NW's PDX-MSP flights. No stops and same plane (obviously).

Connecting flight examples include flying American from DFW to MIA, getting off the plane and then getting on another different plane (with a different flight number) to take you from MIA to MEX.

Finally, there also exist "false direct" flights, such as UA's SEA-ORD-LHR flight. It has the same flight number, but it's not direct from SEA to LHR because passengers need to disembark at ORD and get on another plane.

Clear now?

May I ask you to please reply to the mediation case promptly. May I also please remind you that if the case is not resolved, and the case ends up at the ArbCom, which I hope does not happen, that not replying to mediation is not seen upon kindly.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 00:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 2009 FedEx Crash
I have nominated 2009 FedEx Crash, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/2009 FedEx Crash. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Jenuk1985 |  Talk  23:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

STS-125
I agree that the article could at some point get WP:FA status. To that end, I added in a "History" section, reworked the lead a bit, took some information out of the 'Contingency mission' section (there's a link to the main article, and information about Constellation program and the launch pads wasn't directly relevant to the successful servicing mission so I removed that), and I put the wake up calls into a table, which looks much nicer I think. I've nominated it for good article standing, which I think is an important first step on the way to FA. Unfortunately, people who have worked on the article aren't allowed to review it, lol. It looks like there is a bit of GA reviewing backup, so it may be a bit before someone gets around to it (it is the very last article on the GAN page! lol). Anyway, thanks for the suggestion about the history of the mission, I had that on my list of things to do and sort of forgot about it as the mission was happening.

Appreciation
Hey, I just wanted to leave you a note to say that I really appreciate your looking at my edits to Windows-related articles and improving them. Try as I might, I don't always get the right wording or even the right presentation of facts, and it's good to know someone else cares enough to get it right. Thanks. :-)  Warren -talk- 18:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

DL/NW
They are still operating under seperate certificates...so they need to be listed seperately. Look at other articles. They cannot be "Delta operated by Northwest" as the flights are NOT marketed by Delta yet. 74.183.173.237 (talk) 16:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Requiem Online Official Logo.PNG
A tag has been placed on File:Requiem Online Official Logo.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Minor notification
Just letting you know that I swapped out a crucifix for an icon symbolizing the three monotheisms in your "separation of Church and state" userbox. In the previous form, it could well have become subject to allegations that it was anti-Christian and therefore was at risk of being tagged for deletion.  -RadicalOne •Contact Me•Chase My Tail 23:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Request for Participation at WT: Airports
As you may be aware, there was a recent discussion on the talk page of WP:Airports which prematurely and without consensus resulted in mass changes to airport articles throughout Wikipedia. Before a drastic change like this is put into practice, it is important to have clear consensus, which from my readings as an observer, did not occur. Many of these changes started to occur before any real discussion had taken place, and despite much disagreement from some community members. Disagreement is good -- it's great actually -- without it nothing would ever get done. But it's important that everyone opinions are heard fairly and accurately, and that significant changes like merging the Regional Airline destinations with the Mainline destinations are not done without such consensus. I encourage you, as someone involved in WP:Airports and the original discussion, to voice your opinions and discuss with others about how we should move forward at this point. Positive and constructive conversation is the way to a consensus. I also ask that everyone (myself included) ceases merging or un-merging mainline/regional destinations until a censuses is reached. Please contribute to the conversation here. T ofutwitch11  (T ALK ) 00:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
