Spam links
Please do not put unrelevant links on pages. The organization you work for is surely noble but this is encyclopedia and not link farm. Pavel Vozenilek 18:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Better way: create one page with information about individual countries and put it in Wikipedia. Such article would be for sure welcomed, relevant and targeted. Pavel Vozenilek 18:50, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: International Freedom of Expression Exchange
Okay, no worries. In future, particularly when making edits as an anon, it would be good if you used edit summaries because it can be difficult to tell the difference between legitimate edits and vandalism or politically/commercially motivated edits. Thanks for letting me know. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 05:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hong Kong Journalists Association
Hi. You should not be using the page to put every single piece of information that already exists on your website. Otherwise, you are just copying from one site to another. Wikipedia is not supposed to be used as a carbon copy. Tibetibet (Talk) 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Brad Will external links
Hi. I removed your external link to the story from IFEX. I explain the rationale here, on the article's Talk page. If you come across more reaction to the killing -- and not just news bulletins -- please include it in the "Reaction and reportage" section. Thanks. Alcarillo 18:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Special Rapporteur
Your recent edit to Special Rapporteur (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

bolding
Bolding is used within articles to signal the title of the article, as well as the page titles that redirect to that article. Please do not embolden words that are not redirects, as you did at Special Court for Sierra Leone. - BanyanTree 22:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for great edits
Thanks for the great edits on the Right Livelihood Award, been meaning to finish what I started and you did, creating many useful links. FYI, countries of origin don't need to be linked the 2nd, 3rd, 4th times they are mentioned in one article; usually the first time is enough. Now we just need to create articles for those that are redlinked. Or find the articles that exist - as you have done - under variant names. Why don't you create a user page? Bruxism 06:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * User pages just let people know a little about you. I like them because if you suspect POV, you can see where the author is coming from ideologically and factor for that.  And if you're Tibetan, I'd like to know more about you anyway.  Bruxism 07:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip. I'm not Tibetan but I've visited Tibet. Probably one of the best trips of my life. 19 February 2007

PEN/Open Book cat
Hi Tibetibet -- Just FYI, I added that Category:Freedom of expression organizations category to PEN/Open Book because it previously had the tag Category:Freedom of expression. I agree that it was a little questionable, but left it on because I thought perhaps, like other PEN orgs, it had a freedom of expression mission. --Lquilter (talk) 00:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of International PEN
An editor has nominated International PEN, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ACHPR logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:ACHPR logo.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RSF trilingual.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RSF trilingual.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thanks, Ainlina(box)? 17:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:IFEX logo.gif
A tag has been placed on File:IFEX logo.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. When you recently edited International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Patrick Robinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
