WP:RFA statementHello. Could you please trim down/refactor your statement on WP:RFA? It currently stands much over the 500 word limit. — Coren (talk) for the Arbitration Committee 22:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera ( talk) 02:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to point out a follow up. :) -- Cat chi? 10:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
All 6 accounts of Davenbelle had been blocked indefinitely here on en.wikipedia. Per the commons discussion on Jack Merridew you have commented on, do you think you can run checks to verify? Mind you that commons:User:Moby Dick's entire contribution on commons was wasting community time. There also seems to be activity in meta... You have checkuser access on all 3 wikis (I think) so you are the best candidate dealing with this issue. -- Cat chi? 12:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Are you connected with the bot that is leaving red links on user spaces? - House of Scandal 16:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I was the person requesting the rename of various barnstar images. Seems like the rename caused you a few problems. Sorry about that. It seems like template use was causing the issue. [2] I have manually fixed it for you. [3] -- Cat chi? 21:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar. Nice to see I'm appreciated! ;) Netkinetic (t/ c/ @) 00:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Hi there Mr. Biggleworth. So thats where you got to!!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Please adjust the double redirect fix code and/or stop that function on the Hindi Wikipedia. It is making many errors. Here for example, after a less than helpful user had added #REDIRECT to the top of a legitimate page, your bot came and redirected it to an unrelated page, and mashed up the text that was there. Your bot should always recognize when there is text in a redirect and probably not automatically consider it a double redirect to fix. These types of things shown in this edit are things that should probably be fixed across all languages your bot is run. Thanks for running the bot though. - Taxman Talk 14:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Awesome user page. We are having a little discussion at the CVU talk page ( link) Our membership has grown since formed in 2005. I proposed that it's time to let CVU members, who don't do vandal fighting, go. Also, out of the concern some editors brought up to the CVU talk page, I proposed to allow users to have a page to post concerns about the behavior of a CVU member when it's not appropriate such as: using abusive language with other editors or biting newbies. Whoever engages in this type of behavior should be let go. Some users feel that because it's not an official WP entity, it's pointless and all it would just be a bureaucracy. Others feel we are NOTHING at WP and thus, there is no need for it. I believe you felt that we are somebody and have a mindset which sets us apart from regular editors. I also believe that as membership grows and some members engage in behaving inappropriately (as it appears they have already) while displaying the CVU label, the community at Wikipedia will look at us as a nuisance and will be frown upon. What do you think? If you think it's time to raise the bar and do without those users who do vandal fighting and are giving CVU a bad name come to vote for Do (something, like the new desk page and rules or whatever). If you think like others it's a waste of time, then don't bother. Jrod2 ( talk) 19:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC) An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Canada_ARMY_Insignia_0.GIF, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly hi! 02:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Project FMF ( talk) 00:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC) I have tagged Image:Porthos_in_archers_room_in_mirror_universe.jpg as {{ orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{ not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Would you please bring WP:CUC to the attention of user:Stavros1. a) He had started to upload to the Commons but seems to have reverted. b) He gets a lot of stick from me, if someone else could confirm the importance, it would help. -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 11:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I think your new page is an unwanted WP:CFORK - we already have Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons. How did you intend to bring the page Wikipedia:Commons Upload Campaign to people's attention? That is the important thing. I suggest that you prepare two templates encouraging people to upload to the Commons. Use one to put on the talk pages of WikiProjects that use photographs, eg. all those listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Geographical/Europe for a start! Use the other to put on the user talk pages of people who have been uploading images here. But I am not sure how one identifies such people! -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 12:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC) The emphasis of the CUC should be on getting people to do their new uploads to the Commons. Moving existing stuff there is less important. Look at
Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr see how they have stressed the Commons! Go ahead,
be bold, propose changes to
Wikipedia:Upload to stress the Commons. Regarding transferring existing images, as you can see from the comments below there is plenty of scope for improving Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons. If you do so and when you copy over your paragraph about freedom of panorama, please explain how it is possible that an image might be OK in a Wikipedia but would not be allowed on the Commons because of freedom of panorama laws. I don't see the difference. -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 06:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
PalmipedThere is scarcely any difference between uploading to the Commons and uploading here. What difficulties have you encountered? Points to note:
-- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 12:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Ah, that is quite different! I count myself an experienced editor but even I find Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons daunting. I will try and find time to add a section to for people transferring their own images. -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 18:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC) I have now created this note on transferring your own images to the Commons. Please change it if it is not sufficiently idiot proof. But please do not feel under any obligation to move existing images to the Commons. But please do upload any new stuff to the Commons. -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 06:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC) Why on earth have you been converting jpeg's to PNGs? As a JPG, Image:Kurdishfuneral.jpg was 22k bytes long. Converted to image:Kurdish coffin rally (30 March 2006).png it takes up 103k bytes. Personally, I don't see the point of changing image names anyway. But if you must do it, why not just copy the image? -- RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 06:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
