Anti-vandalism work
Hey, thanks for all the work you've been doing to counter vandalism on Wikipedia! It's definitely appreciated! I noticed the warning templates that you left for 24.31.208.142. Did you know about the Blatantvandal template? It's useful for cases of obvious vandalism like this, where the user clearly knows what he or she is doing and isn't just a newbie who needs the benefit of good faith, like the normal Test template is for.

It looks like you might have left several levels of "Test" templates on 24.31.208.142's talk page, for different instances of vandalism, after they'd all taken place. This makes it harder to tell if he or she kept vandalizing after having been warned each time, or received the warnings all at once and then stopped. So in cases of obvious vandalism in the future, you can use the stronger "Blatantvandal" template so it's quicker to move to the next step of reporting them to WP:AIV if they keep vandalizing. If there's any doubt that they might be a confused newbie instead of a malicious vandal, though, it's better to just leave one "Test" template and wait to leave a stronger one until they strike again, after having received the first warning.

Thanks for all you've done! I hope you keep up the good work! --Icarus (Hi!) 20:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You have the advantage of me, Sir!

I did indeed live in Hampshire for some years, many years ago. First in Church Crookham, then later in Alton. Went to secondary school in Alton, then college, then left for Uni.

So, are you going to 'fess up, or do I have to twist your arm? :-)

Battletech
Hey :-)

So, yes, I remember doing the whole Battletech thing, but it was with one or two people, and much as I recall your name, I can't recall which one of those people you were! any photos on-line?

File permission problem with File:Sir Jonathan Phillips.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sir Jonathan Phillips.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.keble.ox.ac.uk/about/warden.jpg/view. 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 23:23, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
