[edit] Unverified image

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Drill.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}}

if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}}

if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you.

If you uploaded other images, please clarify copyright for them as well, otherwise the images will eventually be deleted.

Thanks, Denni☯ 01:39, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Wheelbig2.jpg has been listed for deletion

An image or media file you uploaded, Image:Wheelbig2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Hey there, I noticed your comments on TheCoffee's talk page and think that the original image should definitely go back on the page with a note saying that it was taken on the opening. I do not like replacing images that others have placed on here as I do appreciate that it takes time and effort. The only reason I did so was because of a comment on the talk page asking for an image that didn't cut off part of the wheel. I can assure you it wasn't vanity as I had previously looked at the page to add an image and didn't as the article already had the said image. I reckon if you add it back on with a note about the historical significance it definitely is worthwhile. No hard feelings. Regards. SeanMack 17:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough - I'll try to tread gently! It was a strange day, poured with rain all afternoon, not at all easy to get a good shot of HRH etc from a long distance, but I reckon after spending three hours sheltering under a poly bag I need something to show for it - sdince then I have visited several times as I live just down the road, and got many more really crisp photos in better conditions.Excalibur 17:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Drill.jpg

Have you seen the opinions expressed on the image's description page? What's your take on that? Lupo 07:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some help

I've fixed the image syntax for you over at Logba language (the problem was that you uploaded the image as image:Logbagirl.JPG (with uppercase JPG), and filenames are case-sensitive here. I hope you don't mind I removed the link to the Scottish friends of Logba site; as I said in my edit summary, it's interesting but not directly relevant to the article on the language. If you want to start Logba people, go right ahead! Best, — mark ✎ 14:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh and you might want to use the Show preview button to review your edits before you save a page. That way it's easier to see what might be going wrong. — mark ✎ 14:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Excalibur, I've replied on my own talk page: see User_talk:Mark_Dingemanse#New_Picture_on_Logba. Regards, — mark ✎ 18:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Again replied over there. Cheers, — mark ✎ 09:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Neil Lennon

I don't care how witty you think you're being with [3], calling Rangers fans "orange bastards" is unacceptable. Demiurge 22:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Neil Lennon

Is it? Why exactly? That said, I'm not supporting Lennon, but I dont think evidence gathered using techniques like this (lipreading) is acceptable either - its an intrusion of privacy.

Things have moved on, who honestly cares apart from the wittery PC folk at the Scottish executive? Nowadays this is just ritualistic, playground stuff, totally harmless. Look, I'm a Rangers fan, English, and a Catholic, I usually go to matches with my friend who is an african Muslim, and as such I am very well qualified to have an opinion.

It's so inaccurate as to be laughable, - neither word is really much of an insult, given the way that the fan base is diversifying, is it?

A third of all children born these days are technically bastards, the word orange is hardly an insult - well most football fans wouldn't regard loyalty to the Dutch Royal family as critical to their identity would they? Times move on, what was a mortal insult a few years ago is now a bit of friendly rogueish banter. The best way to defeat sectarianism is to laugh at it together, not try to supress it. Lets not try and supress it 'cos of misplaced embarassment.

[edit] Kilsyth

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --DeLarge 12:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] delarge

thanks ol' buddy, you need to get your head around the fact that we aren't all experts or wikiaddicts here!

[edit] Editing User:DeLarge

Your apparently preview-free edits of User:DeLarge have been reverted. User:DeLarge is not an encyclopedia article, it is a userpage: "Another common use [of userpages] is to let people know about your activities on Wikipedia, and your opinions about Wikipedia. So you might include current plans, a journal of recent activities on Wikipedia, and your (constructive) opinions on how certain Wikipedia articles or policies should be changed."

Please also note that Wikipedia is not censored. Finally, as per ownership and editing of pages in the user space, "In general it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing another's user page without their permission." --DeLarge 09:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Carers

An editor has nominated the article Carers for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carers. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Carers during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.
