I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  --Nlu 05:07, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. -- Qtac 00:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

MLB roster pages

Hi ... I see you made some recent edits to Template:New York Mets roster. For future reference, when you move players around or add new players, please put them in alphabetical order by last name under each subheading per WP:WPBB. Thanks. --Sanfranman59 00:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

My sincere apologies. I made a mistake in leaving this message on your talk page. As you point out in your response, it was the editor before you who mis-alphabetized the list. Judging by the tone of your response, I fear that I offended you. I can assure you that my comment wasn't intended as a personal attack and that I was acting in WP:AGF. Peace. --Sanfranman59 16:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Gary_Cohen.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Gary_Cohen.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bob_Murphy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bob_Murphy.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Geoffrey Hughes as Onslow.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Geoffrey Hughes as Onslow.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

That is a renamed version of Image:Onslow.jpg which I am currently renaming because of a conflict with another image named Onslow.jpg on Wikimedia Commons. Graham87 07:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Francisco Rodriguez (baseball)

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Francisco Rodriguez (baseball). The information you added is also considered WP:CRYSTAL, is unsourced, and is not relevant until he is no longer a member of the Angels. Free agents re-sign all the time, and a renegotiated contract could perhaps be added at a later time to his bio. Atlantabravz (talk) 12:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Request to move article Brotherhood (2006 TV series) incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Brotherhood (2006 TV series) to a different title - however your request is either incomplete or has been contested for being controversial, and has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete will be removed after five days.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
2. Added a place for discussion at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. This can easily be accomplished by adding {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the page, which will automatically create a discussion section there.
3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 04:40, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Nike bauer logo.jpg)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Removed prod from Reva Bhalla.

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Reva Bhalla, which you proposed for deletion, because I think that this article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atama頭 18:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Select Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: https://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_42QbABs6Pw1mzoF&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
