Speedy deletion nomination of Barnstars and other awards
A tag has been placed on Barnstars and other awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * That's fine. It didn't really have any content anyway. I'll recreate it when I actually get a barnstar or some other type of award. --Michaelkourlas (talk) 00:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That kind of page would be better at: User:Michaelkourlas/barnstars. It does not belong in the main article space. Jarkeld (talk) 00:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realize it was in the main article space. I thought it was in my userspace. Sorry.--Michaelkourlas (talk) 00:42, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Please review another editor
As you have recently requested to be reviewed at Editor review, please consider reviewing another editor to help alleviate the backlog. Thanks. Netalarm  talk  00:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I have granted you rollback. The key here is not to use it to revert edits that are not vandalism. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Best, — Jake   Wartenberg  05:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Userpage vandalism
Hi, someone you previously warned about an unconstructive edit has vandalized your userpage and I've reverted it. Jarkeld (talk) 01:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Question
Is is OK to use a non free image (a book cover) to work on an article I'm currently working on in my sandbox? Eventually, it will be placed in the mainspace, but for now the only place the image will be used will be in my userspace. --Michaelkourlas (talk) 21:20, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No... I think there's a bot that would replace it with a warning image. It's best to just wait till the article is moved to the mainspace before you add it. Killiondude (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Talkback
Failed GA nomination. Please see notes. I really think it could go up for renomination. MWOAP (talk) 02:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

IP Block Exemption Request

 * I just noticed you have a bot. Do you need an exemption for it as well? J.delanoy gabs adds  18:40, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Windows XP Activation Restriction
Greetings,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for updating Windows Product Activation article. I enjoyed reading it. However, I noted that you made mistake with Windows XP. Geographical activation restriction does apply to Windows XP. However, by the time of the introduction of the annoying restriction, Windows XP retail was nearing the end of its life. Now, its OEM version does have the restriction, and so do Vista and Seven.

Windows Vista was first sold without the restriction in emerging markets, but about the time of SP1, they includes the restriction. Because this feature is (really) poorly documented, I opt not to edit the article table since I can't give any references (people would consider this as Original research WP:OR). Once again, thanks. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 16:54, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you know where I can find any references for the restrictions for XP, Vista or 7?


 * Hi. Just give me some time (possibly 10-20 mins) to compile some. However, I have to say that some of these can't be used as reference as it comes from a shop. It just shows that there are activation restriction on these products. w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Here they are:
 * Official from Microsoft:
 * Shop, ,.
 * Unfortunately XP has been delisted (including its OEM, but not GGK - get genuine kit), so it is no longer relevant. It says that "activation must occur in Indonesia". Unfortunately as this topic is poorly documented, there is almost no possibility of finding the refs for Windows XP. I'll notify you again if I am able to find some more refs (in English). w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I found this, but don't use this and the shop links as reference: Brunei version: . w.tanoto-soegiri (talk) 18:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Recovering Catholic PROD
I have removed the prod tag from Recovering Catholic, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Articles for deletion. Thanks!
