Advance Fee Fraud

edit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud

The Bot edited some text in an e-mail received from a scammer. That should be left as it was received, as it is an example of the scammers' work. I have undone the un-needed edits, and left those that were correctly made to the rest of the article Pontificake 18:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Pontificake. You're quite right, and I've made note of what I should have left alone. Cheers, CmdrObot 19:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dead end pages

edit

I noted your comment on the DEP talk about the 1000 limit - It irritates me too as work nearly fulltime on them. You might look at the link at the bottom of the page Here, which points to an alphabetized list MNewnham 15:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: Rock Disambiguation

edit

Actually I am not running the bot at the moment (I have swapped computers and it is not installed here). You could run a bot yourself, there are various ones listed in the Tools section at Disambiguation pages with links. If you don't run the bot too fast, then I don't think you need a separate bot account. Otherwise, I'm sure if the number of links to Rock grows much larger the people at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links will take care of it.--Commander Keane 03:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:RonAtkinson.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:RonAtkinson.JPG. 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. 19:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanx for reverting the Lean on Me (song) page

edit

Greetings, Pontificake! Just a quick thank-you for reverting the Lean on Me (song) article. Wasn't too sure how to go about it myself, and was taking a deep breath - whilst assuming good faith. Regs., --Technopat (talk) 00:34, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

NowCommons: Image:LionsGate.JPG

edit

Image:LionsGate.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:LionsGate Jerusalem.JPG. Commons is a repository of free media that can be used on all MediaWiki wiki's. The image(s) will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:LionsGate Jerusalem.JPG]]. Note that this is an automated message. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 15:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:David Heathcoat-Amery.JPG

edit
 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:David Heathcoat-Amery.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:09, 26 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:09, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
