Every Day Is Exactly the Same
Tony, would you mind if I listed the consensus vote on Requests for comment/Media, art and literature in a few days? I'd like to get a good number of opinions on this, and I don't know if the vote will attract much attention if it's just on the talk page. I'd like to wait for User:DMighton to post his thoughts on the talk page before sending it to RfC (I let him know on his talk page), because he should be able to have his point clearly made, too. Incidentally, I made some minor in the wording of the vote request to make it more neutral.- Rynne 16:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That'd probably be for the best. Shall we take down the one on the talk page? --TonySt 17:00, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's necessary, since the RfC will link to the talk page. I think the cases for both "single" and "EP" should probably be clearly stated before sending it over, though. - Rynne 17:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

IP block
I am responding to Hall's requests while he is away for the month. For documentation of the vandalism claim see this. I randomly picked edits and found all of them to be vandalism. The block log also reveals a LONG pattern of vandalism from this IP. You cannot expect wikipedia to put up with 99% vandalims when 1% of the edits may be legit. The best course of action to take here is to have your system administrator cotnact me and see if there is something we can do to eliminate or greatly reduce the vandalism, yet allow for editing from good users. It is your fellow students who have done this to you, and no onee lse. All blame needs to be put squarely on their shoulders.

In the meantime, you are still able to use the site for education and research but you just can't edit from this one IP. Feel free to use other computers you may have access to. Until then, best regards.Gator (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Look at the contributions coming from teh IP, not from you. There is no problem with you, it's the other vandals who happen to use your IP. Click the link I sent you.Gator (talk) 20:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Besides, judging by your ability to edit my talk apge, it looks like you found another IP. Excellent. Enjoy the editing.Gator (talk) 20:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!
You get to be the first person on Wikipedia to experience my brand-new, innovative signature! — THIS IS M ESSED OCKER  (TALK) 21:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your page was vandalised.
Hello TonySt. Sorry to inform you of this, but your user page was recently vandalised by an anonymous IP Address with a history of poor editing. The changes have been reverted, and prior to the detection of the edits, the user was banned.

Sincerely, Logical2u 22:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Possible copyright violations from Wikipedia mirrors
Note that some websites actually copy the information from the Wikipedia article, rather than the other way around, and are therefore not copyright violations. —Centrx→talk &bull; 23:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW
Hi Tony,

I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri ( talk  .  contribs ) 10:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW
Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out at WikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Regards Khukri ( talk  .  contribs ) 09:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Your comments regarding Zscout370
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on contributions, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. —David Levy 23:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?
Hi TonySt,

Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

Image:Ninmarch06.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ninmarch06.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok  ☠  17:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:14_-_Hurt.ogg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:14_-_Hurt.ogg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Videmus Omnia Talk  19:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CVU status
The Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to and/or  status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Reznorwilliams.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Reznorwilliams.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. BetacommandBot 18:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

NIN WikiProject
I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Nine Inch Nails WikiProject. There's alot of NIN-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and we hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Nine Inch Nails pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

Lead sections
Per WP:LEAD, lead sections do not usually contain citations, as they are no more than a summary of the body of the article; the relevant citations can be found in the body. Hawkeye7  (discuss)  20:05, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
