Orphaned non-free image File:Subway Sadie poster.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Subway Sadie poster.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. Stefan2 (talk) 15:06, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

inre Articles for deletion/Proposition for a Revolution
You wrote the most cogent thing at the AFD with your "Of course, there could be Indian sources we're overlooking"... which prompted me to look for them using the search engine over at WP:INDAFD, allowing me to find MANY independent sources speaking about this film... enough so that I felt its production met the caveats toward determining notability for planned films as set by WP:NFF (paragraph 3). The nominator has withdrawn. What say?  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 06:10, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks you for revisiting. I also just spent some time addressing the article's issue of tone and it not using independent sources.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 02:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

When I block promotional usernames
Hi Taylor; thank you for asking.

I block promotional usernames under two circumstances:


 * When they have edited to promote, or about a subject related to their name, in mainspace or in userspace. Exceptions:
 * When they have begun working in draft space or in their sandboxes, and the article has not been marked as an AfC submission (I think the software does this automatically now, actually).
 * When they directly create in AfC.
 * When they edit the main sandbox, which is both partly the point of the sandbox and, for that reason, a place so self-defeatingly lousy for promotional purposes that anyone who actually thinks that was a good idea should be fired immediately by any sensible marketing person.


 * When, regardless of whether or what they've edited, the name includes elements that unambiguously suggest intent to use for shared promotional purposes, i.e., something like (an exaggeration, but you get the idea): "Consolidated Amalgamated Widget Company Corporate Communications Department".

Disambiguation link notification for July 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gene Ruggiero, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tarzan, the Ape Man. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

FAC tidying
Hi Taylor, I notice you've been fixing the title placements after FACs have been manually closed -- do you think we need to finetune the instructions at User:Maralia/FA bot or is it a case of a having a polite word to the good people making the closures?

Featured Article Removal
Hi. Relatively new to wikipedia and noticed you removed my suggestion for a featured article. Was curious to know where I had gone wrong and what I should do next time to get it right DrColePorter (talk) 12:51, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello there and thanks for leaving this message. I reverted your addition to the Today's featured article/requests/pending page because it is for future requests for an article to appear in the today's featured article slot. The article you added, The Greyness of Autumn, is not currently a featured article, so it is not eligible to appear. Articles become featured by passing through the featured article candidates process. Let me know if you have any other questions.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 21:14, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

You are possibly what is wrong with the world. (re: changing the Unidan page) Do you live a life devoid of humor? Do you think this was the best use of your time to maintain wikipedia? There are roughly 3 million shit articles on here roughly 40,000 of them lifted from the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica. There are pages on high schools and white washed descriptions of constitutions that have never been enforced like Kazakhstan's. At every step some nitwit here will stop a person from modifying their little turf. Check out the article 'Historic Recurrence' to see what utter garbage gets nominated twice for deletion and kept even though its obviously one man's personal pseudo-sourced nonsense. But yeah, good job wikipedian.

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
