Thank you!
Many thanks for the barnstar.

If you want to pursue anti-vandal work as a Wikicareer, then there are faster and better tools around than 'undo'. Start with popups, which you can enable via 'my preferences' - it's good for reverting back several versions by different editors. Once you've gained some experience with that then you can apply to an administrator for rollback rights - some of the most powerful tools (e.g. Huggle) require that. Personally, I use PILT, which is a variant of Lupin's AVT. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi TheGunn, Unfortunately I've had to delete this image as it clearly had the incorrect licence. According to the image page you took an image from the net, cropped it and uploaded it with a licence indicating that you own it and release it as public domain. As this is a simple modification of someone else's image (a Derivative work) the copyright still resides with them and you can only list the image as public domain if they have done so. Happy editing - Peripitus (Talk) 21:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:CatholicTelegraphCincinnati.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:CatholicTelegraphCincinnati.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. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
