Nice pic, thanks for uploading! Unfortunately the oval shape doesn't look too good on wiki pages, do you have the original rectangular version free to upload? - Thanks, MPF 15:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks!

Horseweed
Thanks also for the request on Horseweed - the page is a joke! I'll have a go at getting the two pages sorted. My feeling with cases of common name ambiguity like this, the best option is to use scientific names for the actual pages and make the common names into disambigs or redirects, but I'll do a bit of reading up first - MPF 21:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Done! - MPF 23:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Cyperus rotundus
Hi Rick - Thanks for the note; looks a good start, I'll have a longer look through tomorrow. "Do you think it justifies a "World's worst weed" redirect?" - I'd say no; that's just an opinion, not a hard fact (several other plants have attracted the same comment! - a quick google search for "World's worst weed" names [alphabet order] Chromolaena odorata, Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa crus-galli, Eichhornia crassipes, Elymus repens, Salvinia molesta), and generally, it is best to stick to facts, not opinions. Maybe perhaps best to list all these (and any others) at weed and make "World's worst weed" a redirect to that - MPF 23:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Didn't think I'd added all that much! (most of what I did was formatting to get it into a similar style to other plant articles). Sorry it took me so long to get round to having a look through :-) MPF 13:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. The page had got messed up, and I thought I had caught those in the fix, but obviously I didn't.

Glass bead
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Glass bead, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Glass bead fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: would like to move Glass beadmaking here To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Glass bead, 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Gyorgy_Ligeti.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gyorgy_Ligeti.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. Rettetast 17:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I tagged it with "Non-free media rationale". Is that OK?
 * RickJP 20:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, but you have to explain why the image can't be replaced by a free image. Rettetast 20:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. RickJP 20:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Canadian Blind Golf Team at Nations Cup - Canada vs USA Brantford ON August 2004.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Canadian Blind Golf Team at Nations Cup - Canada vs USA Brantford ON August 2004.jpg. 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.

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

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

"linked directly"
I don't think it's appropriate to write a commented-out comment saying
 * "linked directly; please do not change header text"

without identifying which articles link to that section, especially when it's not easy to find out which ones because the number of incoming links to the article is very large. If you identify which articles link directly to the section, then someone needing to edit the section heading can correct the links. But if you don't say which ones, then you're declaring your own particular way of phrasing the section heading infallible and immutable for all eternity. Making articles permanently non-editable is not how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Michael Hardy (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

University towns in Israel
Hi Rickjpelleg,

I saw that you created the category University towns in Israel, and populated it with every town in Israel that has a university. What is the reason behind this? A university town is generally a small town where the university is the main employer (when counting students as also employed in the university). As such, Israel doesn't have any university towns. The closest to that description would be Givat Shmuel and Ariel, but the former doesn't even have a university itself, and the latter would isn't really dominated by the university, it's just small enough for it to make a big impact (and some Wikipedians would have a field day with the "in Israel" definition).

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Edible Asteraceae


A tag has been placed on Category:Edible Asteraceae requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

His Alienated Wife moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, His Alienated Wife, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Speedy deletion nomination of Henya Pekelman


A tag has been placed on Henya Pekelman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that has essentially the same content as an article on another Wikimedia Foundation project. Please see Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Replaceable fair use File:Joseph Opatoshu.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Joseph Opatoshu.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 185.172.241.184 (talk) 11:53, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
