Your own sandbox
Did you know you can create subpages of your user page and talk page? Editors typically do this for their sandbox tests, to develop articles and so on. I made one for you just now: User talk:Synthfiend/Sandbox. You could work on Shure stuff in there if you care to, and your regular talk page will not be disturbed. Binksternet (talk) 18:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you're right - that would be a much better way to do that! I'll make sure to work that way in the future synthfiend (talk) 18:54, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Great work on the Shure article, BTW! :D
 * Binksternet (talk) 19:05, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I had no idea it would end up including as many things as it needed to!
 * synthfiend (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

 * Wow, thank you for the recognition. Plenty more to come, I assure you. synthfiend (talk) 01:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Toft 60s.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Toft 60s.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:07, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

If I may suggest
If you feel so inclined, Yamaha VL1 deserves an article, and sources are easy to find on-line. FuFoFuEd (talk) 02:18, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Great suggestion - thanks! synthfiend (talk) 21:16, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

File source problem with File:BT (musician) performing at GearFest 2011.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:BT (musician) performing at GearFest 2011.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:19, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

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

If you created 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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I created the image entirely myself. I believe I've inserted the correct tag now; please let me know if I need to do anything else. synthfiend (talk) 20:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

In the future, you'll want to specify somewhere that you are John Grabowski; otherwise, we'll think you're not him and you're uploading it on his behalf, whether legitimately or illegitimately. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Propellerhead logo 1 .jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Propellerhead logo 1 .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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 05:39, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Bmf-logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Bmf-logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Moog sm.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Moog sm.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Werieth (talk) 13:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arturia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Preset.
