Help Is Here!

edit

It looks like someone from my school is messing around with Wikipedia, thus getting the entire school's IP blocked (The IP in question is 209.135.123.8). Now I can't even edit anything on these set of computers. --HashiriyaGDB 13:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Add the {{unblock}} template to the page of the user you wish to unblock with stated reasons. Arundhati Bakshi (talkcontribs) 13:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Use of helpme

edit

You used {{helpme}} at User talk:24.190.150.210. Really it is for use on you own talk page only. What did you need help with? You can respond here, I am watching this page so there is no need to use {{helpme}} for the time being. If you think User:24.190.150.210 has been fairly warned and needs to be blocked, the correct procedure is to list them at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.--Commander Keane 23:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:G20.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:G20.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

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. 01:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I have retagged this as "no license". After looking at the source website I find no basis for your application of the "no rights reserved" tag. Please do not claim that images are freely licensed unless the copyright holder have explicitly stated that they are. --Sherool (talk) 17:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Article

edit

Don't you think it'd be more appropriate if you left the title of each weapon as [ actual name in reality | name in-game]? Otherwise, some people may challenge your edits. Just a headsup. Neil the Cellist (talk) 11:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please do not take the following comments as offensive. I am merely stating some errors you made that I will need to fix. I REGARD YOU AS A HIGHLY COMPETENT WIKIPEDIAN. I highly respect your edits, and I know from your past Wikipedia history that you are a very good contributor. The following are merely small errors relative to your editing history that I just wanted you to be aware of.

I just realized... Now I have to revert all your edits. You made a lot of mistakes in the weapons list. (1) Unfortunately, you (and I and everyone else on this planet) DON'T know what kind of MP9 it is, there are 3 different manufacturers for it. For all we know, it could be a H&K model. You do NOT have any verification whatsoever that it is a Steyr TMP. (2) All machine-guns listed in-game are light machine guns.

If you are going to make an edit to a wikipedia article, please make sure that all your facts are correct, and also do not make somewhat useless edits (e.g. splitting up 6 different edit instances when they could've been conglomerated into 1 big edit), as you evidently did to the Vegas 2 article.

Finally, it's annoying when you've undid all the disambugation edits I explicitly made for some of the weapons. Some people find it insulting (I kind of/sort of do), and makes the entire article less efficient as far as tracking edits. Neil the Cellist (talk) 13:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

One last thing - Please add edit summaries to your edits, and also try not to make a lot of "mini edits", instead, make all your edits into one conglomeration. Now it's impossible for anyone to easily revert your edits. And I'm spending MY time to undo YOUR mistakes. Neil the Cellist (talk) 13:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Minase Family.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Minase Family.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. NotifyBot (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
