Thanks for uploading Image:Casperkillshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).
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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Really? I'm using three or four of them myself. How did this come about? -- Rob C. alias Alarob 00:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed the category rename. While it makes sense for many of the pages, the Chalcedon Foundation is definitely not a theocracy, but is pro-theocracy for some definitions of theocracy (ie. that politicians should follow the Bible, but, IIRC, not that the state should actually be ruled by the church). Anyway, I was wondering what your thoughts were as to what should be done about it, since you're presumably more familiar with the reasons for the category rename than I am.

Been awhile. How have you been? Thought I would just tell you I got my first featured article, Rock Springs massacre was promoted yesterday. : ) Thanks for the bits you contributed (I think you looked it over a couple times). IvoShandor 13:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey there,
I have seen that you use Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser to perform edits. My understanding during the past 3 years that I participate in Wikipedia is that when using AutoWikiBrowser, one should take extra care to make sure that one actually understands what kind of change one is going to perform, and not change the meaning of a text.
Since the last weeks I have observed that you performed e.g. category changes with AWB - in some cases to a category that may sound similar to somebody who is not familiar with the topic, but which are actually not at all identical. In case these categories work as descriptors for living people, this kind of misinformation may reach a certain level of inconvenience.
So far I have solved the problem simply by doing a revert - no harm taken, we all make a mistake from time to time. And I also left a note about it in the history - exactly why I did the revert, and how the categories differ.
But further observation leads me to the conclusion that by the way you use AWB, you do not see the message in the history, but simply perform the (wrong) category change over and over again - with the speed and power of an automated tool.
That is why I leave you this message.
Thanks a lot. 62.178.12.228 22:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report about Darkgiff 509 ( talk · contribs · block log) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Sandstein 18:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

On your photolist of NRHP sites in Brooksville, Florida you mentioned soms doubts about Florida Heritage.com's coverage of the William Sherman Jennings House;
William Sherman Jennings House - images added - doublecheck picture on flheritage.com, doesn't match, sounds like house was moved and became part of the Christmas Village store
I just came from that area this afternoon, and I can tell you for a fact that they didn't do this. I even took a couple of pictures of the house in question with my disposable digital camera, and when I get them all developed, I'll send those(and some others) to you. ---- DanTD 22:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I am stealing from List of Pennsylvania state parks, for MN parks so "borrow" away. :) I got lucky in that MN only has 72 parks, FL has 156, Ugh! The map alone took me a few hours, but it really adds shine. My one tip would be to do as much as possible with a spread sheet. I might try to add pics, but dang its a lot of work and it makes the lists big, see List of Minnesota amphibians as an example of what I have tried. - Ravedave 02:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello. There is a discussion going on at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ships#Infobox_improvements regarding changes to ship infoboxes and their adaption to varied types of merchant ships, tonnage and displacement, and other fields to include in an infobox. (This appears to be different from, but similar to, the template which you created, which has been used on many articles.) If you choose, please weigh in with your thoughts on the project talk page linked above. Kablammo 19:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

As you must've seen in the original article's history, I redirected your article on the Louisville and Nashville Depot to a new one called Louisville and Nashville Depot (Milton, Florida). I hope you're not mad about this, but it was something I felt I had to do, since those looking on the List of Registered Historic Places in Illinois previously could click on that by mistake. ---- DanTD 03:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, no problem with the edits. I'm not really well versed in wiki so I need someone to keep me in line. I'll see if I can't get some pictures of La Casa. I don't know the actual street number there but it's on Highland Park Dr., Lake Wales, FL 33898. If you go to Highland Park you can't miss it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LightningLoader ( talk • contribs) 12:23, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Darkpath.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The guy's M.O. is so obvious it stands up and shouts. This has been going on since January. I don't know what it's going to take to stop this guy. Anyway, thanks for helping out.

Hi Ebyabe,
I'm a french user who try some time to contribute a little bit to the english Wikipedia (as much as I can with my bad english level), and I would like to undersand something about these WP's laws : why
a picture could be exist in an article but not in an other one ? Did the "fair use" be only forbidden in actor's article ?
Thank for your attention,

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GhostShipNovella.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.
