Starry night

Hi Dave; I have left a message on the Starry Night talk page.--Anthony.bradbury 20:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Ajax (band)

You're edit states: this article is clearly about a municipality and no one will confuse it with a soccer team. FYI, the article is about a musical band, not a city, thus "(band)" in the title. Cyberia23 05:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Someone put the same comment about the Ajax football team in every "Ajax" article on Wikipedia, and so when I reverted them I started copying/pasting my edit summary until I realized my mistake. Sorry for any confusion. Daveharr 12:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I was just letting you know. Cyberia23 22:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Green big merge

Dave, by doing a cut'n'paste merge, you've made Green bin a copyvio, as it doesn't credit the contributors of the merged content. Please follow the merge procedure at Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages, and an admin can do a proper history merge which preserves the histories and contributor logs for both articles while producing a single one. Thanks. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 02:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but I don't see I haven't followed the procedure in Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages. It describes the process exactly as I have done. What should I do at this point? Revert the pages and then tag them for a merger? If so, the instructions should recommend that since they simply describe doing a cut/paste merger. Also,how is this a copyvio, given that both sets of content were created specifically for the purpose of Wikipedia. It's not as if I'm merging in content from external web sites. Daveharr 02:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

After further reading, I see the problem more clearly, although I will again say that the merger instructions specifically say to do exactly what I did. What is the best road forward here? Should I tag "Green bin" for a history merge from "Green Bin"?

Image copyright problem

Thanks for your uploads. You've indicated that the following images are being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why they meet Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page an image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
