AfD for Stephen Colbert (character)
Hello. For your information, the article Stephen Colbert (character) has survived three AfD nominations. The character is sufficiently distinct from the real life Colbert, with a fictional history, beliefs, etc. With Colbert's recent run for President, there are also sufficient real world sources. The article passes WP:FICT and is thus a valid article. mattbuck 10:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

What exactly is your grudge against Dr. Colbert? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DCno10 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Response: I am deeply sorry for my AfD on Dr. Colbert. Let me clear a few things up, I am a big fan of the Colbert Report and DFA Colbert. The only reason I nominated him for deletion was that I didn't think that he deserved an article. I tried to make my arguments good so that it wouldn't be a "I hate colbert, delete him" AfD, but one of actual concern. Thankfully, the AfD was overturned as instead of convincing others to remove the article, I was convinced to keep the article. I believe that the use of AfD as a general article discussion helps in Wikipedia as it is easy for someone to want to remove an article based on false premises.'''

Command & Conquer Factions
Another editor has added the " " template to the article Command & Conquer Factions, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Command & Conquer Factions
An editor has nominated Command & Conquer Factions, 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) 23:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Your recent AfD of Stephen Colbert (character)
For the record, there is indeed an article for George Lopez (character) of the television series; it has, in fact, been around for some time. Cinemaniac (talk •  contribs  •  critique) 22:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Response: I guess there is nothing I can say except for that I am deeply sorry

TfD nomination of Template:Creigh Deeds

Fair use rationale for Image:John Edwards logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:John Edwards logo.jpg. 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. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:John Edwards logo.jpg missing description details
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:John Edwards logo.jpg is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information.

Wisconsin Republican Caucus Results Map
I don't think the map you made for this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Washington_Republican_Caucuses_Results.jpg) is very clear; it has several very similar shades of reds/pinks contrasted against a bright lime green, which is not even used consistently in the map (compare the green on the Olympic peninsula to the greens in the western part of the state). Could you clean this up a little? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.175.100.66 (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Jerry Brown image
The image you reverted to is of unknown and unconfirmed copyright status. The official portrait painting, on the other hand, is known public domain as part of the California State Capitol collection.

Copyright problems with File:Deedsemail.JPG
Hello. Concerning your contribution, File:Deedsemail.JPG, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, File:Deedsemail.JPG appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. File:Deedsemail.JPG has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on.

 * If you didn't write it, it's not yours to release. Simply e-mailing someone text, or a file, doesn't give them ownership of the copyright to be able to release it to the public domain or under some other license. As a screenshot of a large block of someone else's text, it constituted a clear copyright violation and was speedily deleted per our criteria. (ESkog)(Talk) 22:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 23:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Pay attention to copyrights
Re Image:John Edwards 08.jpg: The Associated Press is not in the habit of releasing its news photos under GFDL. It is YOUR responsibility to accurately list the source and copyright status of images you upload. False statements of copyright can be considered vandalism. Please pay attention to what you are doing. Thank you. -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image:2004 New Hampshire Primary Results.JPG Please include information about the photos of Howard Dean and John Kerry included in the image. If you took the photographs, please state when and where (and copies of the photos at higher resolution as stand alone images would be appreciated as well, thanks). (If you are not the photographer for either or both, you need to state who is and provide proper credit and fix the false statement "I created this work entirely by myself.") The same goes for your other election maps with embedded photographs. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Heads up
Hi, do not run for adminship just yet as your nomination will be quickly closed per WP:NOTNOW. You simply do not have enough edits and experience. However, please do not be discouraged from editing; it is great that you are expressing an interest to further help Wikipedia. For more information, see the guide to requests for adminship. – thedemonhog   talk •  edits  00:42, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Creigh Deeds
So what's with the Creigh Deeds article farm? The main article is nowhere near being too long, and it's not obvious that a primary candidate below the presidential level merits that much detail. Not to mention that 3 articles seems like a bit few to require a navbox; that could be handled a lot more cleanly by putting "See also" sections in the articles. In fact, it's completely unnecessary for the main article, since there are links to the other two in the appropriate articles. And, if you really don't want to put that much detail in the Deeds article, perhaps it would fit better at Virginia gubernatorial election, 2009. Rklear (talk) 21:55, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there were several points in doing that. First of all, the readability of the main article was more as if sections were just stuck on as opposed to be arranged. The Political Position section was never mentioned. I'll admit that you're probably right about the gubernatorial campaign section. But the thing is, here in Virginia, Deeds is a fairly influential politician, State Senator for 8 years whose been 'round the state drilling up support for legislation, a candidate for Attorney General who grabbed big attention by losing by around 360 votes and now a candidate for the governorship. Bigvinu (talk) 19:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've known Deeds for most of those eight years. I worked on the 2005 recount. And as good a guy as he is, he is neither the most influential nor second most influential politician in the state, and neither of them has a network of articles being wrapped around them. Remember to give WP:NPOV a good read, and remember that anyone can edit any of these articles. Rklear (talk) 21:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Adding new sections on talk pages
Please place new section comments always at the bottom of talk pages. Thanks --Floridianed (talk) 17:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, My bad. I'll put 'em at the bottom next time. Thanks. Bigvinu (talk) 23:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

December 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Virginia gubernatorial election, 2001 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

United States presidential election, 2008
Hello Bigvinu. I've reverted you changes to the 'Dems delegate count' template. Please discuss you changes at the article discussion page, before implementing such a change. PS- Having the Democratic template one way & the Republican template the other? isn't acceptable. GoodDay (talk) 18:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:John Edwards launches 2004 run.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:John Edwards launches 2004 run.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) 12:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008]
If you add the debate section then please do it w/o sneaking in controversal edits. Thanks --Floridianed (talk) 17:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Regarding your edits on the Jeremiah Wright controversy: Since the controversy happened during the primary election, coverage probably belongs at Barack Obama presidential primary campaign, 2008, and the issue is, in fact, already covered there. Thanks, --Clubjuggle T / C 19:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Answer to Bigvinu regarding question in edit summary: First off all: I placed an ? behind vandalism. Furthermore you cut out quite a bit in the info box and also added a new section title "2 Scandals and Gaffes " yet you call it in your edit summary "added debates section as well as organized the page a bit". So please consider cleaning it  up by yourself. --Floridianed (talk) 19:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
My RfA  Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was, , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

Thanks for your positive comments regarding my answers to questions and just general support. I appreciate you taking time to make a careful evaluation.

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again! Frank |  talk  13:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA
I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 289 edits on Wikipedia; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.

I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! Glass Cobra  18:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I did add a question, but the RFA closed whilst I was typing it up. Essentially it was asking what specific tools you needed to help with your editing work.  In short, I was concerned that you were asking for something that you didn't actually need.  There are a lot of very good editors out there who are not administrators - they don't need to be admin; heck - they probably don't want to be admins!  You look like you have the makings of being a very good editor, and no additional buttons will change that.


 * What I suggest is this - put this down to experience, and then carry on with your editing work. It is appreciated - really!  In time you may find that you need the admin buttons; it may be that you don't want to be bothered with the hassle of being an admin.  It is only with experience, as you find your own little niche in Wikipedia, can you decide if you really want to be an admin.  Remember, in the words of Jimbo Wales: being an admin is no big deal. If you want to ask me any questions on anything, please drop me a note on my talk page. StephenBuxton (talk) 18:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. From what I see there's a lot of cleanup effort needed in the Wikipedia political aticles and admin or not, I'm going to do my best to clean them up. Bigvinu (talk) 19:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Good attitude... and good luck! StephenBuxton (talk) 20:33, 14 July 2008

Political positions of Creigh Deeds
Please note that referring to another editor, particularly one with over 20,000 edits, as a "maniac" is a violation of WP:CIVIL. Also, please note that in reverting my edit, you destroyed a number of improvements I made to citations (for example, the "cite web" template is wrong for newspaper articles; it should be "cite news").

Also note that your citing several sources as proof that an article is "valid" (the term you probably were thinking of is notable), as you did on my user talk page, proves nothing at all. There are hundreds of sections of articles titled "Political positions" that are not separate articles themselves, even though they are well supported by reliable sources. And speaking of which, normally blog postings are not considered reliable sources.

I've started a new section at Talk:Creigh Deeds to discuss that merger that I attempted; I note that another editor, prior to my starting that section, had already supported the merger.

Finally, please sign your talk page postings with four tildes; if you need a reminder, you'll find that at the top of the edit window when you're in edit mode on a talk page. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Wynne LeGrow.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Wynne LeGrow.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
