A word of advice. Adding "The mere fact that a number of Wikipedians feel it is meaningful to list themselves this way is its own justification. Non-encyc pages should be almost purely unregulated; encyc pages should be tightly controlled. Any Delete votes on this page are from people trying to pass edicts in the wrong space." to a large number of UCfd debates is not helpfull, and will probably hinder keeping some user categories that should be kept. -- Bduke 09:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to butt in, but by way of explanation - the ! prefix comes from computer science, in which ! is, in many languages, the NOT operator. So, for example, x != 3 would be read as "x is not equal to 3." So "!vote" (pronounced, I suppose, "not-vote") is shorthand indicating that we're in theory not actually voting (though in many cases, of course, we are). Actually, now that I read that back, it just sounds confusing. Sorry to clutter your talk page. MastCell Talk 17:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Hmm. My comment at the top finally brought in a rush of comments. My point was that adding the same comment to a whole lot of debates does not help your cause. I added it after I added an argument for keep, that was specific to that particular debate, just after your general comment. I suspect that the admin closing the debate will respect my comment and ignore yours. Finally, I agree with others above. If you do not like the policies of WP, argue on their talk pages. Doing so at XfD is just disruptive. -- Bduke 22:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey, your Nuclear Energy userbox was messed up by a guy who changed the color of the radiation warning symbol-- he turned it black & now it disappears into your black background... But u may wanna take this oppty to create a different NE box. We supporters of nuclear energy aren't too keen on having the radiation warning symbol as a symbol for the technology. One reason I'm for N Power is that, if new plants are finally built in the US, it will radically cut down on combustion of fossil fuels, leading to reduction in greenhouse gases, cutting down on global warming etc.,. Maybe a closeup of the distinctive curved lip of many Nuclear Power plant cooling silos, with birds perched on the edge.. you get my drift. JDG 16:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Since you have commented there without addressing my concerns, I am requesting you apologize and explain your continued personal attacks in that talk page.-- Cerejota 12:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
The Bob Dylan article received heavy editing today by new/unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 16:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Nytimes sago mine2.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 14:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.
Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader,
geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at
geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!
The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

I had begun recording an updated spoken version of the Be bold article because the last audio recording of the article reflects a version now two years old. I had begun recording but then noticed that a number of things could have been worded better. I edited the article for this reason. I noticed that you've made a number of changes to the article before. Do you have any ideas for the article before I attempt to record it? I also posted this on the article's talk page. Thanks, PicklePower ( talk) 05:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Caroline astor cenotaph by satellite.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Bulwersator ( talk) 09:43, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Frankenstein13.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 07:47, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
