I have remove the templates again. The SCAN is far from being a supranational organization, it has thus been decided that this template belongs on the "economy of..." pages and the SCAN template has long been on the Economy of Venezuela page. Mercosur is even less supranational. Venezuela is only an observer at CARICOM and that organization is in no way considered superior to the Venezuelan government. - SimonP 02:28, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
You have been blocked for 24 hours for downloading a "comedy" image (specifically, the Michael Jackson police chase on a tricycle image) for insertion into an article, and combining this with the insertion of many paragraphs of bogus text [2] into the article. You should not need a warning to know that this is inappropriate behavior. -- The Anome 09:35, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Hello, AfC. I saw that you've just been nominated for adminship. I understand that you would like to become an administrator, but I suggest that you withdraw your nomination for now. The vandalism mentioned above is recent enough that it would probably cause a nomination to fail. However, with only 157 edits, it is almost impossible that you would gain adminship—most users don't even consider candidates with counts below 1000. I urge you to withdraw your nomination—it's no fun just getting a bunch of oppose votes. Keep working on Wikipedia, make good edits, don't vandalize, and consider renomination when you have more experience. Please let me know if you have any questions. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:24, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know about the possible deletion of Image:Olvera_st_los_angeles.jpg. Unfortunately I am not prepared to relicense the image for unrestricted commercial use, so it looks like it will end up being deleted. -- Ngb 08:55, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:CunningLinguist.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 its not being deleted. Thank you. — MetsBot 19:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Since you are in Los Angeles, you might be interested in a couple of bits of SoCal news. One is the first ever SoCal Wiki Meetup planned for Monday, July 25, 2005. For more info, see User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup. There is also a newly created Southern California WikiProject and California WikiProject that you might want to take a look at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlankVerse ( talk • contribs) 01:56, 16 July 2005

Thanks for uploading Image:El Salvador demography.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{ GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ( T/ C) 11:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dubai Metro map.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:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok ☠ 03:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
