I dispute that the article is "very badly written." It's well-referenced and it covers the subject matter appropriately.--Bookworm857158367 19:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Please clarify
Please clarify what you meant when you wrote Keep on Articles_for_deletion/Controversies_of_Chabad-Lubavitch. Do you mean to keep it as Controversies of Chabad-Lubavitch? Or only the Chabad Messianism section? --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  12:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Andrwsc
Thanks for fixing the links. It seems like it wasn't such a glory idea to start the RfA page under my userspace with the intention to move it to the "official" location when ready. I could swear it worked better last time I did this... Sigh. --Ligulem 23:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
 It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_dzasta 07:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Dhinsa...
...now has his very own article. I'd still like to add more using the refs you emailed me (I can't get into my email from my work computer - stupid Websense) but it's a decent start for the time being. Thanks for your help. If you're going to do more with it, I figured you might as well get credit for your contribs to the main space instead of just in my sandbox. Kafziel Talk 21:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was (47/0/0) upon closure and now phase I is complete. I think the tools will aid both me and the encyclopedia. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, or if you think I'm misbehaving I'm always open to recall. Thanks, James086 Talk  12:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Chabad Messianism
Hi there, could you please help me out I don't know what to do. I am being chased around by User:PinchasC who will not let me add a single word or link about Michichism, let alone create a separate article.

Every time I try he pulls another deceitful slight of hand, reverting endlessly, nominating good articles for AfD just to confuse people and so on and so forth.

Chabad Messianism is one of the major controversies in Judaism in the past 50 years with numerous books on the subject yet PinchasC (and co) have ensured that there can only be 1 paragraph in all wikipedia about it - which is followed by endless of the point Berger-bashing.

He nominated Controversies of Chabad-Lubavitch for AfD to create a smokescreen, when there was a clear consensus expressed that there should be a Chabad Messianism article I un-redirected it. He then redirected back again, without any debate and falsely claimed that all the info was in the other article.

How can this be resolved?

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me.

Better source request for Image:AbramHarris.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AbramHarris.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. Longhair\talk 09:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

"Mayors of New York City" articles and NYCMayors template
I hope that you are not taking offense that I am attempting to help improve your NYCMayors template as well as your entries to the various "Mayors of New York City" articles which you have made contributions to. I am simply trying to enrich the content of those articles, not to undercut your contributions. I don't know if you are aware of it, but the City of New York was not actually created until the Consolidation of the five boroughs in 1898. Prior to that, the Mayor of New York was actually only the mayor of what today is the Borough of Manhattan. The other boroughs were split into various towns and villages, and they each had their own officials. I would like to thank you for your past and future contributions to Wikipedia!

Fair use rationale for Image:AbramHarris.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AbramHarris.jpg. 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. MER-C 13:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Cathedral Church of Saint Patrick in El Paso
Please be so kind as to take a moment and review the article above as it is now written and, if you are agreeable, I will remove the 'Notability' Box, or you may if you prefer; your decision. If you think the box should stay, please e-mail me with some suggestions for editing the article, or you can contact me at my talk page. Thanks.--Lyricmac 08:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:RESHETNIKOV.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:RESHETNIKOV.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Boston (talk) has given you a fresh piece of fried chicken! Pieces of fried chicken promote WikiLove and hopefully this piece has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a piping hot piece, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Spread the tastiness of fried chicken by adding {{subst:GiveChicken}} to their talk page with a friendly message. By the time you return to Wikipedia this chicken will be cold but I hope it will still bring you enjoyment. --Boston (talk) 08:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Hillaryandsuha.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Hillaryandsuha.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:31, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
