WAMC Greensboro
On the disabiguation page you made, you said there was an WAMC in Greensboro, NC, however I've found nothing on Google on this station past or present. I'm considering making the WAMC page the home of WAMC (Albany) given the wide range of the network and I'd like your blessing if possible. Scrabbleship 00:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Thats fine by me. Someone else had put that there was, so I didn't contest it. Fine by me Zach 21:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The List of radio stations in North Carolina by city suggests that this station is in Goldsboro, but WAMC should not be a redirect on account of a small station that has no article at this time. NoSeptember   talk  00:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Aim6.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Aim6.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Fair use rationale for Image:Meadwestvaco.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Meadwestvaco.gif. 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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 22:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Aim6.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Aim6.png. 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. BetacommandBot 19:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate Image:Sdodexho logo.gif
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Sdodexho logo.gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Sdodexho logo.gif is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Sdodexho logo.gif, 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:VHSLogo02.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:VHSLogo02.gif. 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 16:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Request for help
Dear Zr2d2,

Recently you added something to the article about Samsung SGH-X830. I'm an employee of Samsung Telecommunications and I cannot edit the page due to COI. Therefore, I'm asking for your help in adding information in Wikipedia about Samsung mobile phones. If you are interested in this subject, please, contact me through my talk page: User_talk:Lyubmarin. Also I have a draft for article about Samsung Telecommunications (User:Lyubmarin/Samsung Telecommunications), and it should be good addition to Wikipedia because Samsung is the second largest manufacturer of mobile devices. So, may be, if you are interested in Telecommunications topic you could review it and create the real article Thank you very much Lyubmarin (talk) 06:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Virtual High School


A tag has been placed on Virtual High School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Disambiguation link notification for April 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Crystal City station (VRE), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WTOP. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What level are you?
I found your name at Category:User js (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), in the level-unspecified list of JavaScript programmers.

I was wondering how experienced you are at JavaScript, and whether you might be interested in getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.

We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.

Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.

For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.

The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library. If you know of any good ones, please add them.

If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hope to see you there! The Transhumanist 16:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Davidson Street station
Hi, I'm Boleyn. Zr2d2, thanks for creating Davidson Street station!
