No content in Category:Free, open source role-playing video games
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Free, open source role-playing video games, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Free, open source role-playing video games has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Free, open source role-playing video games, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Chen You-hao.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Chen You-hao.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) 05:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

were you a Wa Ying student?

 * Who are you and why you would have such query? --WinHunter (talk) 11:03, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Could you please explain more fully...
I was going through my upload log, and I noticed a file I had uploaded had been deleted. I didn't remember getting a heads-up it was up for deletion. But I see you did leave one. I don't know how I missed it at the time.

Most NASA images are in the public domain. Would you mind refreshing your memory, and then telling me why you nominated this one?

Your nomination doesn't say why you nominated it -- unless the "OR" you put was your justification -- but, if it was, and by that you meant "original research", I can't imagine how that would make sense. Geo Swan (talk) 11:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That was a while back.. I think I nominated it because the image was orphaned not used in anywhere. --WinHunter (talk) 15:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I stand willing to be corrected, but isn't that only a valid reason to delete fairuse images -- not public domain images? Geo Swan (talk) 21:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think per WP:IFD orphaned image is a reason for the image to be deleted in this process. Orphaned fair use images are being tagged with template orfud and go through a different process and eligible to be deleted after 7 days of tagging. --WinHunter (talk) 02:53, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk page
Hi there. I recently changed usernames, and blanked my old userpage at User:Ck12, which you deleted earlier today. Could you possibly delete my old talk page as well? Thanks Bully Wee (talk) 23:26, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:OP
Greetings, I'm just trying to get a current feel for who is still active in the project and if anybody would object to cleaning out inactive users of the verified user list. Thank you for your time. Q T C 03:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for assisting to cleanup. Cheers. -WinHunter (talk) 18:55, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Advice on a deleted article
Hello! I'm contacting you because according to the Wikipedia guidelines if I want a page that exists unprotected, I should try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request on the Unprotect page. I'm a student of the London College of Fashion and would like to create an article on Bodymetrics as my contribution to the WikiFashion project. It was deleted by you in 2007 and is now protected. What can be done? ESleboda (talk) 11:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Back then it was written like an ad / promotion that why it was deleted. If you feel you can write according to Wikipedia guidelines feel free to request unprotect. Thanks! --WinHunter (talk) 09:04, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Clear! I would be very thankful for your help - how can I request unprotect? (ESleboda (talk) 18:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC))

$ per square foot conversion
I need a template for converting $/square foot to $/square meter. Can convert be adapted for such a purpose? I need such a template at Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago) and I doubt this is the only place it could be useful on wikipedia.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:03, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom
You are one of three admins who have put this article under semiprotection in 2006-7, and it's been under semiprotection ever since. To see if it's still thought necessary I've opened a discussion to review, on the talk page. --TS 03:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

WinBot
Since you blocked the bot for being inactive, can I turn off its bot flag?  MBisanz  talk 21:54, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, pls feel free to do so. If I need it in the future I will reapply the bot flag. Thanks! --WinHunter (talk) 02:22, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Julius Zimmerman
Hi there. A lo-o-ong time ago, I created an article on the artist Julius Zimmerman, which you deleted due to an uncontested PROD. Would you be willing to userfy the page for me? I would like to go over the material and see if I can make a keepable article out of it. I've never had anything userfied before, so I don't know what all is involved, but if possible I would like to see the talk page as well, in case there any useful links or bits of info there. Thanks! Matt Deres (talk) 02:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, where do u want me to put the page at? --WinHunter (talk) 12:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * How about: User:Matt Deres/Zimmerman? Thanks! Matt Deres (talk) 21:28, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's done. Thanks. --WinHunter (talk) 21:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Your assistance please
I was going through my upload log, trying to figure out why a few of the images I uploaded were deleted. I saw you deleted Image:Iceberg nasa.jpg.

I saw I asked you for some clarification back in February. Sorry I didn't see your last reply.

Tonight I checked to see if I had been advised the image had been nominated for deletion. I was. I see on Image talk:Iceberg nasa.jpg -- which is now also unavailable.

In reply to your latest -- I think that if "free" images are orphaned on the wikipedia, but have educational or other value that puts them in the scope of commons, that rather deleting the image it would be appropriate to copy them to the commons. There are robots that make this process painless.

I would appreciate it if you could look up the original URL for this image. I'd like to look at this image.

There is something else that puzzles me. If I am reading the record correctly you both nominated this image -- and you were the administrator who deleted it. Have I got that right? Geo Swan (talk) 06:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * No.. I wasn't an admin back then so I only nominated. If you check the deletion log it was deleted by User:Howcheng. According to the upload log you got the image from nasa. Please feel free to re-upload to commons if it's not there.. It's a deletion a few years back I cannot recall this specific deletion so the above is what I can find from the logs.


 * Hope this helps. Cheers -WinHunter (talk) 14:14, 7 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah. Thanks.  That APOD picture lists Nasa and two other agencies in the credits.  I may not have noticed that in 2006.  Now, I think it leaves open the possibility that the photographer was a University researcher on an Antarctic trip on a grant -- ie, not an actual employee of Nasa.  So it may not have been PD after all.  Thanks for looking it up for me.  Cheers!  Geo Swan (talk) 23:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
