Dear AranMaxwell1Cox,

I am afraid I have nominated your article about the Politics of Judeas for deletion, as a likely hoax/fiction. If you want it to be kept, you should visit its voting page, and provide evidence that it is factual.

Sincerely, Mike Rosoft 20:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 15:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Crossing flags

Please do not cross flags on your user page. This may offend others and is even considered a crime in many countries. I am sure you are able to express your valuable opinion in a respectful way. Imagine someone crossed the flag of Canada or the UK - also a union. ROGNNTUDJUU! 21:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I removed your comment from my talk page as I consider it rude. I see nothing wrong in asking someone to show some respect for the people who feel represented by a flag. While you write you support the independence of Scotland, you however choose to represent your nationality with a Union Jack. I do not know what concerns you have about the EU but I am sure you know how to express them without unnecessarily offending others. Have a good time here. ROGNNTUDJUU! 23:49, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:1NiagaraFalls.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1NiagaraFalls.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Commonwealth Games Manchester

I note you have uploaded images of other Commonwealth Games meets (such as Victoria 1994 etc). There is an attempt to have the image I uploaded for the Manchester Commonwealth Games deleted as it is a non-free image. Since it seems that your images are not being attacked could you load up a Manchester 2002 image and replace for mine? Rhyddfrydol 13:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
