Kindly note that you are not allowed to remove fact tags ([citation needed]) without providing a source.--84.251.4.253 (talk) 15:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your actions approach vandalism. You cannot unilaterally remove information you find unpleasant. Put the fact tag if necessary.--130.234.68.211 (talk) 09:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unallowed move

edit

Podomi, your move of Swedish-speaking Finns to another name was in conflict with the proper move discussion procedure. Even if you believe you are correct, your actions were rash and showed non-compiance ith the community rules. I ask that you join me in the effort to return the pages bac where they were. Let us then complete the move discussion. --MPorciusCato (talk) 21:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Brevmarke.jpg}

edit

Thank you for uploading File:Brevmarke.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Podomi, please do not remove referenced information from articles again. It is extremely bad form and against conventions. --MPorciusCato (talk) 16:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have left a comment on MPorciusCato's talk page. Could you perhaps provide a link to that research report? I would definitely like to read it myself. Thanks in advance. Monegasque (talk) 23:42, 11 February 2009 (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.
