You shouldn't have moved Orange (colour). Wikipedia policy accepts all kinds of Standard English. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style
Please never move an article without its talk page history by simple copy and paste, there is a move fuction that should be used. A move should discussed first, put on Wikipedia:Requested moves and carried out if concensus is reached. If there isn't any good reason (spelling isn't a reason) to move an article, it shouldn't be done. SpNeo 13:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

American vs. Canadian spellings
editWhat general rule do you use when deciding whether the uniform spelling of "color" for a given article is the American spelling or the Canadian spelling?? Georgia guy 14:33, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I just reverted your "Copyvio" at the above article. In case you didn't notice, it came from the 1911 Britannica. And from now on, please sign your comments on my page and make sure the link to whatever you are referring to works. --DanielCD 28 June 2005 14:47 (UTC)
No problem. Sorry if I was a little crass. --DanielCD 28 June 2005 15:05 (UTC)
on {delete}
editit's better if you can use the {{db|reason}} instead of the {{delete}} since it helps admins doing cleanup to know why entries are speedied. The reasons are in WP:CSD if an entry does not fit any of these, it must be through VfD.
However, for patent nonsense (like kjhkjhkjhkjh kind of entries), you can use {{nonsense}} and for speedy deleted entries that keep being recreated, there is {{deleteagain}} drini ☎ 7 July 2005 22:04 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:DSCN3948.jpg)
editThis media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DSCN3948.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 09:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Non-free use disputed for Image:Beonex.png
editThis file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Beonex.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
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.
