Thanks for uploading File:BernardCornwell TheLastKingdom New.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude ( talk) 07:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Kevinalewis! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
Thanks!-- DASHBot ( talk) 15:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm planning to run a feature on Wikiproject Novels on the signpost this week (hopefully!). The plan is to do the report in a q&a format, I'll post a bunch of questions in my userspace and you (along with alan16 and pmlineditor) respond to the questions. If we can get it done by Saturday, the feature would run on the next signpost. Do you have the time (and interest)? Thanks! -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 16:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to highlight. Success stories? Future plans? Dismal failures? -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 19:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Also, I added a question on how people can get involved with the project (become members, sign up for the newsletter, practical stuff like that). You may also want to direct them to areas where you need help - I'm sure that many editors would love to do something useful but would appreciate some handholding on what to do! -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 00:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
We're good to go. Take a look and see if you want to add anything else. I'll post it later this afternoon (by 8pm UTC). -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 16:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a ton for your time. If you haven't already seen it, the article is up at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2010-01-25/WikiProject_report. -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 15:01, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you on the talk page. I responded on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_book, but have gotten no response yet. I thought I didn't respond the "right" way or something so I thought of dropping you a message. 94.173.41.165 ( talk) Gabi, Jan. 21 —Preceding undated comment added 13:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC).
Hi. Just to keep you up to date, I'll write the next newsletter tomorrow afternoon, maybe send it out soon after, or Saturday. Also, we're reaching the end of the terms for the coordinator positions, so if you think it's worth running another one (I personally think it would be - got some interest last time, and with the fairly steady newsletters - apart from the 2 or 3 months I wasn't able to write one - people will hopefully be interested again this time. Also I'll be happy to set it up again. Finally, I'll add what I have to offer to the signpost thing tomorrow afternoon. Regards, Alan16 ( talk) 22:32, 21 January 2010 (UTC).
Thanks for uploading File:3 Wakepig.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock (TALK) 04:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey. Been having a busy time with Uni & work at the moment so if it's all right with you I'd like to postpone the coordinator election for a week or two. Only one person has signed up so I'm sure it shouldn't cause to much hassle. Thanks. Alan16 ( talk) 00:25, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Aloha! I am tasked with the Wikipedia Signpost report on WikiProject Olympics, to coincide with the 2010 Winter Olympics. I have compiled some questions at here, and was wondering if you would be interested in answering them on behalf of the project. Thanks, Ks0stm If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. 06:52, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
As a non-biased member of the Percy Jackson Task Force, could you take a look at Nico and Annabeth to assess whether or not the tags are still necessary? Also, I would like to know what else would be necessary to improve Nico's page to C-class. Thank you! PrincessofLlyr ( talk) 01:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC) The In universe description is still valid. Wikipedia is intended to be seen from "this world". In other world what relevance is this character to this world. How did the author come to name them -who is the character drawn from, critical reviews, film adaptations etc. (not all these will be relevant. Try to see this material from someone who has never read the books, maybe never will do, and word and phrase from the perspective of person reviewing this type of literature, the meaning of the name characters in Fantasy etc. I.e. not from "in world". :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 14:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, how are you? Could you take a look at Quicksilver (novel). Though I am not quite done with the plot summary, the article is almost complete and I have been working on it for a while. Do you have any thoughts on it? Thanks for your help Sadads ( talk) 18:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
