Hi, I am not sure if you had noticed, but comments were recently left for the peer reviews of Kirkcaldy and Dysart, Fife. If you had noticed and just haven't got around to responding to them, I apologize, but I wanted to make sure they weren't forgotten about. -- D.B. talk• contribs 14:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
Image:Catchphrase (1986-1994) ident.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Please take more care with your editing. Several of your links were broken, and in the article on Kirkcaldy, several of the references are broken. Please fix them when you can. Thanks. - Dudesleeper / Talk 01:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
The citations look good, I formatted a lot of with Citation templates and combined the citations that are same. There are still some small problems that need fixing. There are two books by Eunson, both were written in 1998 and there is no way to tell which book the citations came from. There is no full citation in the References section for the citations from Omand, McKay, and the Wemyss Environmental Centre. The Civic Society's Famous Folks books still have multiple pages (this isn't a problem if the info that is cited is found all the pages listed). Clarifications is needed for the Historic Kirkcaldy citations (the citations say "Torrie and Coleman", but the full reference says "Torman and Colman".)
I wouldn't start another peer review, I'd just keep working at the article and then submit to GAC when its ready, but you can do what you want. -- D.B. talk• contribs 15:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks for uploading Image:Map of the Royal Burgh of Kirkcaldy 1824.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Adding sentences like " Kirkcaldy is home to one of Scotland's most treasured art gallery and museums." adds nothing to the article. If you can cite this as a quote from a notable and unbiased source it may - arguably - be worth adding but as a statement of your own it actively detracts from the article as it looks like an idle boast from someone talking up their home town in a partisan way. Let the facts talk for themselves and the article has more credibility.
Incidentally the term "is home to", particularly its frequent repetition, looks a bit hackneyed. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 20:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
When you upload an image, whether to Wikipedia or to the Commons, please include one or more categories with it, such as Category:Kirkcaldy or Category:Railway stations in Worcestershire. This will make it easier for other people to use your images. You can also add categories to images that you or someone else has already uploaded. -- Eastmain ( talk) 23:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
