Skeleton content deletion

This is called page blanking and it is vandalism...when you see this, revert it just like you did with the skeleton article. Sometimes, if you revert it immediately, the vandal will find it amusing and continue to vandalize to elicit reaction from those watching the page, so it is usually best to wait an hour or so before reverting it. Feel free to ask on my talk page if you need help with anything. bcatt 20:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Empty column

Your addition of an empty "Number of users worldwide" column has been reverted, since columns are useless when empty. If you think this column should exist, add it, but fill it. --logixoul 16:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, read your comment on the talk page just now. Anyway, please don't put the column before you have the info to put into it. Okay? --logixoul 17:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay. --Cumbiagermen 09:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Microsoft Narrator and "tequila"

At Microsoft Narrator, someone raised the issue of what the significance is of Microsoft Anna being able to speak "tequila". I tested "tequila" with Microsoft Sam in Windows XP, and it seemed fine. What is the issue supposed to be? David H. Flint 03:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Windows Live Mail

Your edits to Windows Live Mail has been reverted by someone else. I'd like to notify you of this because a concensus has been made in the talk page of the article regarding the use of uppercase "D" for "Desktop" in its name. Please review the talk page prior to making edits. Thank you. Pikablu0530 23:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AllthatIam.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AllthatIam.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. BetacommandBot 01:31, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AllthatIam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AllthatIam.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Nomination of Comparison of webmail providers for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Comparison of webmail providers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of webmail providers until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:25, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Comparison of webmail providers

The article Comparison of webmail providers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a consumer report or the latest magazine stating the best products. Wikipedia does not help you choose products. This information should be under each individual provider, not all clumped together. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Discussion has been going on and all people that have participated agree with the above.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi Cumbiagermen,

Back in December, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, which was part of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links to the templates), that would be very useful.

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies for infoboxes.)

Thanks and my best wishes.
