RFA
Regarding your comments at your Request for Adminship, are you withdrawing? All the best, &mdash; Rudget speak.work 17:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

If I may? I apologize if I have wasted any of your time. I now realise that much more experience is needed to become an admin, which is understandable. Regards, Surplu TalkToMe!  17:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC).
 * Ah, that's alright. I know what RFA feels like. Make sure to take the opposition's comments into consideration, and come back with at least 3000 more edits, and you'll have a substantially increased chance of passing. All the best, &mdash; Rudget speak.work 17:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I admire you for trying, too! Deb (talk) 18:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:GazLukeJon.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:GazLukeJon.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 07:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Considered vandalism
You know I think we got our edits crossed then. Wildthing61476 (talk) 13:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Actually I take that back, he was vandalising the GTA IV article changing the dates in the article...subtle, but sneaky vandalism. Wildthing61476 (talk) 13:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

previously unknown
The BBC article doesn't say that it's an unknown species; it says that it's a previously unknown species. That is, it was not known until this sample was discovered, and it is now known as a result of the discovery of a sample. Also, "Mindus harringtoni" is the name of the new species, not the name of the sample. --Delirium (talk) 21:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi there Surplu, I saw your request for rollback on Doc Glasgow's talk page. He's not around anymore, but I looked at your contributions and you seem to be doing fine so I've granted you the tool. Good look with it, and don't forget to read Rollback feature for informtation about what you should and shouldn't be doing with it. Take care,  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 19:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:04, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

Proposed deletion of File:France05.jpg


The file File:France05.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

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.
