Yorba Linda
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Yorba Linda (author) may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. --Bill 19:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Rdd.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rdd.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 20:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Dropkick Kittie
A tag has been placed on Dropkick Kittie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Dropkick Kittie is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Dropkick Kittie. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable.  (aeropagitica)   (talk)   21:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Do not remove other people's comments from Talk pages. That's a really good way of getting blocked from editing. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, not a problem. The article reads like a promotional piece, not an encyclopedia article.  We strive for neutral point of view.  Give straightforward facts and references for them.  The article needs to be pruned of hyperbole and fan opinions.  User:Zoe|(talk) 00:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Have you read WP:Music for the notability criteria for bands? Indie-label bands need one charting album release and this band's album isn't due out until later in the year/next year. Has the band toured nationally or had a notable person as a member? If none of these criteria are fulfilled then I suggest that Myspace is a better location for this information, rather than an online encyclopedia.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Usexport.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Usexport.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 14:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Fred Phelps
If you were trying to semi-protect the Fred Phelps article, you should be aware that the template doesn't do that; it only displays a message. Semi-protection is requested at WP:RFPP. Based on the relatively low level of vandalism in the article, it's not a candidate for semi-protection right now. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  06:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

HUMANWINE - page
it is so wonderful that you fight to make a page for HUMANWINE here but you must know first that HUMANWINE was started by Holly Brewer and M@ (Mat) McNiss way back in 2001. HUMANWINE is not as you say "and it's the side-project by Dresden Dolls' drummer Brian Viglione." Holly and M@ recruited Brian for just one album and the Spring fighting Naked Tour, they invite many other musicians from other bands to record and perform with them. Brian Carpenter from Beat Circus, Paul Dilley from Reverend Glasseye and Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls. I just want to make sure that you know this in case you do succeed in getting a page put up for HUMANWINE. (ALL CAPS NO GAPS since 2002)

I love their music too, I tried to get a page put up here for them and it was torn down immediately. -Karen S

Dresden Dolls article
hi Xoreox,

thanks for making an effort to get the LGBT category added back to the Dresden Dolls article.

i have some thoughts on how to make good enough edits, that if Dhartung opposes it, we can get him overruled.

if you like to work on this (it will be some months until I can do more then assist), email me from the WP link "E-mail this user" on my talk page

i'm also lentower on shadowbox.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mementomori.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mementomori.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Aml.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Aml.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.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 01:54, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
