I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again.

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Daniel Pineda

A tag has been placed on Daniel Pineda, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thatperson 09:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The Flip Side

• Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages — it is considered vandalism. You may comment at the respective page if you oppose an article's deletion. Thanks. Danny Lilithborne 09:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
  • So in other words, you admit to using Wikipedia to advertise this webcomic. Sorry, but that is explicitly not allowed. Danny Lilithborne 09:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I am a new user to Wikipedia and I did not know the guidelines and I have read the pages that I need to, and I can understand why you want to delete the page. The fact of the matter is the author would like to have his work remembered, not necessarily publicized. The Flip Side was a short comic series, yes, but it will be continued some day, maybe not in the immediate time frame but sometime it will.

Thank you for experimenting with the page Richard Steven Horvitz on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Mr Stephen 11:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Replacing a free image with a fair use image

You replaced a free image with a fair use image (diff). The fair use criteria states: "Always use a more free alternative if one is available". I have reverted your edits. --Oden 10:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Jonah33.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jonah33.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Oden 10:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Thedonniedarkobook.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Thedonniedarkobook.jpg. 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.

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 fair use images 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 12:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
