'''Please click [ here] to leave me a new message. I will reply on your Talk page.'''

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, thanks, and we hope that you will like Wikipedia. Wkdewey 03:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello RobNS.

Thanks for fix the Jery Sandoval's page; it was so nice from you. This article means that in Colombia there're prettier women than she.

Come some day!

Thanks for your precous time.

License tagging for Image:City Lights of Montreal min.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:City Lights of Montreal min.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

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. 05:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Auschwitz
Hi there; I notice that you have added the word Catholic to the comment about Polish deaths at Auschwitz I. I have not altered it. If you read through the talk page you will see that I am possibly the most vehement defender of this article on wikipedia; but do you have a source, apart from the obvious fact that Poland is a mainly Catholic country, for your assertion?--Anthony.bradbury 20:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Anthony,

I only added Catholic so as not to confuse the issue for people that may not be historians. I wanted to show that 'Poles' and 'Jews' are not necessarily different peoples or nationalities. Hence I added Catholic. I could have said 'non-Jewish' or 'Christian, but I figured, as you know, that since Poland is overwhelmingly Catholic, that a difference should be noted. I have a keen (and related) interest in Auschwitz too, but I'm not dogmatic. If you feel it shouldn't be changes, I'm OK with that. But I think you know what I was trying to say. I notice you are in England. I spent a summer in Huddersfield, West Yorks when I was 16, and love the England. Best wishes fellow traveller --RobNS 06:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I'm happy to leave the word "Catholic" in. I did wonder about changing it to "mainly" or "mostly" or "overwhelmingly" but I think on balance leave it alone. They will have been, given the situation in Poland at the time, over 99% Catholic once Jewish people are discounted (in a mathematical sense, of course).--Anthony.bradbury 11:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, if you have an interest in the subject, perhaps I could ask you to watch the article page and the talk page? The article is regularly, sometimes several times a day, vandalised; the talk-page is a magnet for holocaust deniers. From your earlier comment, and from your user-boxes, I suspect that you might share with me a desire to keep this article clean. To avoid confusion, I should say that I am not Jewish, but neither were all of the Auschwitz victims.--Anthony.bradbury 16:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Anthony, actually I'm not Jewish either, although my grandfather was (in occupied Amsterdam, he survived). I am very impressed with the way you have kept the Auschwitz page together, especially dealing with the neo-nazi types in the talk page. At any rate, I've added the page to my watchlist, and will be watching regularly. Best --RobNS 22:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I am happy about your grandfather. Thank you for your comment. Although clearly I was not directly concerned - I was only 2 years old when the war ended - I do have this compulsion to make people aware of what happened in the Holocaust, lest it should happen again. It is, I recognise, an obsession, although perhaps not a harmful one. Have you been to Auschwitz? It is a deeply moving experience, and if I had my way everyone in the whole world should go. I know many don't care, and many physically can't do it, but I stick with my opinion. Best wishes - keep in touch.--Anthony.bradbury 22:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, the vandalism level is becoming intolerable. I have raised the issue at Village Pump (policy). Best wishes.--Anthony.bradbury 16:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Swenkas 72dpi.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Swenkas 72dpi.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.

Military of Cameroon
Hi, RobNS. I've removed your edits to Cameroon regarding its military pending a source citation. I'm currently trying to get the article up to Featured Article status, and to that end, unsourced information cannot be present. Can you provide a source? Thanks, — — Brian ( talk ) 22:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Brian, no problem. Actually, all I did was transfer some of the information from the Military of Cameroon page into the Cameroon main page, since it didn't have a wikilink to a Cameroon military page. I didn't actually add or change any of the information. --RobNS 23:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Cool, no problem. I'll try to see what I can dig up from my sources to add a bit on the military. It's probably a small enough topic that it can be folded into the "Politics" section (perhaps renamed "Politics and government"). Thanks for your help. — Brian ( talk ) 04:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: 80.47.239.175 VANDAL
Yeah, not entirely sure what to make of that one. As you can probably see if you take a look at my contributions, you'll probably see that attacks like that are unfortunately rather common; you can see more information at Vandalism, if you're interested. In that case, I issued the highest-available official warning message, and was prepared to block in the event that any disruption continued from that IP address (that's generally the way these things go: people get caught, they get reverted and given a set of escalating warnings, and eventually they either stop or are blocked from editing; usually all takes place in a few minutes). If you run into any problems, you can contact me, or make use of the various admin noticeboards to get help. Hope that makes sense -- let me know if you have any questions. :) Luna Santin 03:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help in cleaning up unwanted articles from wikipedia, however please remember that the task of deleting articles is left to the Administrators. If you see an article with a speedy deletion tag, please leave it alone and eventually it will be dealt with by one of the Admins. Thanks very much! JRHorse 03:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that Rithinbikkumalla, and you are quite correct. In the future, I will merely place a note on new pages that seem unwarranted. Best wishes.--RobNS 03:50, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem! ^_^ In the meantime you can look at WP:CSD to see the various speedy deletion tags and how you can place one yourself. JRHorse 03:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Springhill, NS
I feel that there's too many photos for Springhill now. It isn't aesthetic. I say that with the utmost kindness even though it's direct (I don't want you to confuse my tone). It would probably look better for me with a higher resolution than what I have at work, but for smaller resolutions it doesn't look great. I noticed that you'd edited the pictures, so that's why I wrote this.  Andrew 647  19:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Andrew, and no offence taken. We're both Nova Scotians here. The page in question actually had no mine photos on it, so I uploaded three that I though were good (I took them myself in 2003), and sprinkled them around the story. Springhill is so well know for the mine and it's history, that the mine has to be prominent in the page. Remember that when you click on the photo, it gets much bigger, which is what most people do. At any rate, feel free to move them around or edit them as you wish. I think the page looks OK with them, but then I put them there. ;-)-- Rob  NS  20:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey! If I get the chance I'll try something, but I'm working a lot more than I used to, so my edits will be sporatic at best.  The only reason I really brought it up is because the images of the mines are on the page about the disaster too.   Andrew 647  16:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Cast section
Hello. I'm not sure from where you got your idea for formatting, but we don't have cast lists in tables like that. The general thinking is that tables should be avoided for simple lists. Actually, there shouldn't be a list at all: featured articles have Casting sections written in prose: see Halloween (1978 film) and Halloween II for examples of a mature cast section. Cheers. The JPS talk to me  18:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I know it's disappointing when you've put time and effort into something, only to have it removed. I've been there. Consistency is important, though. The style guidelines for film articles are at WikiProject Films/Style guidelines. As I say, tables are to be avoided for simple lists, and colour is to be avoided for accessibility reasons.  The JPS talk to me  18:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * WikiProject Films/Style guidelines does not accommodate this. Jaws is a featured article, nominated and judged as an example of Wikipedia's best work. Therefore, the style guidelines must be adhered to. I note that another editor has also removed your table. The JPS talk to me  20:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Please adhere to WikiProject_Films/Style_guidelines. Effort is not an acceptable argument for keeping, either. The JPS talk to me  23:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this previous discussion when I reverted the table on Empire Falls (miniseries). I'm sorry, but I agree with The JPS on this matter; as I said on the article's talk page, guideline takes precedence over looks. Do keep your chin up, though. :) María ( críticame ) 15:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Dean template edits
I'm very curious to know why you added HurricaneWarning and Ongoing weather to Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Grand Cayman. There is no storm information in any of the three articles (HurricaneWarning refers to possible out-of-date information). The three geographic locations are not ongoing weather events either; ongoing weather should only be placed on actual weather events (and not locations affected by them unless these articles also carry current storm info, which they shouldn't - only the storm/season article should). – Chacor 14:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:V21902fanlw.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:V21902fanlw.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Fair use rationale for Image:NS-Flag.png
Image:NS-Flag.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

Airline Fleet Table Color
May I ask why you felt the need to make a couple airline fleet tables all a dull gray color? There's nothing in Wikiproject:Airlines that specifies a color for the fleet table, and many of the ones you changed were more relevant and linked with the color of the airline. I don't see any benefit that making them all gray creates. Thanks. NcSchu( Talk ) 23:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Plus, over the past few years, I have sort of color coded the tables to match with the alliance they are in. SkyTeam: lightblue, Star Alliance: lightgrey, and oneworld: (some purpulish color...).  The rest, I just match the color to their livery/logo colors or just make them white.--Golich17 23:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough fellows, I was just trying to make them more readable. I think they should all be lightblue, but that's me. At the very least, the background should be a light colour, not a dark one. Cheers -- Rob  NS  23:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * British Airways uses a lighter shade of purple, which might work.--Golich17 23:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Extreme belated thanks for birthday greetings

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jan06Cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jan06Cover.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. Calliopejen1 01:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Midi
Hi Rob. I know that "midi" means "noon", but also the whole of the south of France is referred to as "le Midi", which is where the railway got its name. Similarly the southern main station in Brussels is "Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid" in French and Dutch. -- Arwel (talk) 23:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
I deleted UEFA Euro 2008 broadcasting rights after noticing that you had blanked it. In the future, if you're the only major contributor to an article, you can place db-author in the page to request speedy deletion. Otherwise, just make it into a plausible redirect.

Flagicons
I removed the flags from Zoom Airlines following the view of the airline project that they added no value. I have brought up the subject again at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines your comments welcome. MilborneOne (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Please don't revert changes that agree with discussions about not including flag icons in airline destination lists at WikiProject Airlines. This will be considered vandalism. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Re doing this for all articles. See my post on the project talk page which I have raised this exact issue.  The major problem is finding the airlines with the icons.  So if you see them and remove them, it will save everyone from having to search for these. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Election article
Bolding the person's name in the results table is for cabinet ministers and party leaders whether they won last night or not, not for winners of individual ridings. The winners of ridings are denoted by the presence or absence of a party-colour bar in the column next to the person's name, not by applying text formatting to the name itself.

First Air
I just noticed this edit and I'm a bit confused by the term "porter destinations". I've never heard that before, what does it mean? By the way Hay River is not a base for the company and they don't fly to Logan, Newark, Chicago, Quebec City, Mont Tremblant or Halifax. I also see that WikiProject Airlines/page content shows the current format. If a table is going to be used it should be discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines and a template created rather than having to type the layout in every time. Cheers.

Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately!

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:46, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:World operators of the Il-9.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:World operators of the Il-9.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:42, 18 February 2021 (UTC). 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. --TheImaCow (talk) 15:42, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:May 2007 AA Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:May 2007 AA Cover.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --TheImaCow (talk) 16:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
