[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Aofwtemplate2.jpg)
While it's true that this image is not used in an article, it is an image that I used for the (now defunct) Animals of Farthing Wood Wikiproject. I have used it as the image for a userbox on my User Page as well, and at least one other user also uses that userpage. So the image is being used, but I'm not sure how to change it so that it doesn't get deleted. Can you help me with that? (I'm still not very experienced when it comes to things like that). Thank you for letting me know that it has been orphaned, and I would appreciate any assistance with the above request. MelicansMatkin 16:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- This might sound a little off-putting or blunt, but I certainly don't mean it that way. The problem is that Wikipedia only allows fair use images in articles — not anywhere else, whether in templates, Wikiprojects, userboxes, and the like. You should also realize that our fair use policy is much more restrictive than any possible theoretical interpretations of U.S. fair use law. As a result, we restrict fair use images to the mainspace. — Rebelguys2 talk 19:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- That seems very fair. Thank you for the clarification :) MelicansMatkin 19:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Orphaned fair use image (Image:ASB1.gif)
As the relevant article in which it was used has now been deleted, the image in question may as well be deleted now. Beno1000 19:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced Gaiman article
Thank you for making that change, in order to draw attention to the state of the Gaiman article. I have just recently begun to watch this article, and have discovered all of the unsourced material. I was not sure how to go about bringing such attention to it. Thanks again. –m.f (t • c) 10:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- No problem — I really just moved the template a bit higher up. Honestly, a lot of the article looks like it's in decent shape — some fact-checking would certainly be nice, of course, but it's a good bit of writing to work from. But delving into a "legal battle" without sourcing ... well, that just makes me a bit uneasy. — Rebelguys2 talk 10:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your Userpage
Hey,Rebelguys! I'm also one of those people who don't want a userpage, so I suggest you redirect it to your talk, so it's much less vandalised. I use "#REDIRECT User_talk:Example". The Evil Clown 19:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's a personal preference, but I'm not a huge fan of that. Appreciate the idea, though. — Rebelguys2 talk 19:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Weird Question...
Saw your RfA, but I didn't want to put this question there. I was checking around and was looking at the deleted history of your user page from 2005. User:Scm83x was the first person to make edits to your user page, edits that included biographical info. Is Scm83x an alternate account of yours? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Short answer: Nope, just a friend of mine.
- As for my complete early history here: I dropped in anonymously starting in 2004, though it was very rare that I actually made an edit. In the summer of 2005, I was abroad, and Scm83x asked me to snap a few photos to place on Wikipedia. I sent him a few photos in e-mails, which he subsequently uploaded, using his own account — I had licensed the photos under the GFDL in an e-mail to him. In late August of 2005, I finally started using my own account to upload higher-resolution versions of those photos; you can see that my first edits came on 28 Aug 2005, adding photos to Cádiz. I suppose my user page was a red link, though I didn't think too much of it at the time. Anyway, Scm83x helped guide me around at the beginning, and put down a little blurb about me on my user page, along with a logo from a Web site I ran at the time (if I remember correctly; I can't see the deleted edits). — Rebelguys2 talk 04:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- You can now... :-)
[edit] You're a sysop!
Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.
Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

- Hey there, I'm happy to be the first non-beauracrat to stop by and offer my congratulations. Good luck with your shiny new toolkit. Of course you know you can always ask for help if you have any questions. Keep up the great work... Johntex\talk 07:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Orphaned fair use image
Hi Rebelguys2,
First of all Congrats on you being a Sysop :) Regarding the orphaned images i've used earlier on my user page, I've replaced these with 3 licensed images from wikipedia. Please let me know if any thing further is required from my side. Thanks -- G o a r a n y talk 02:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
Thank you for informing me about sub pages. I was a little aggitated at first because I thought the pages had been deleted. Paskari 18:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for taking care of my page and blocking the bad vandal.Rlevse 14:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I want to add my thanks as well, too. That sad little coprophytic needs therapy, not editing priveleges. Congrats on the promotion/damnation. ;) Thanks for being alert - Wikiepedia is always needing Lerts. Cheers! Arcayne 17:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
