Hello, the photo you mentioned was uploaded under specific permission for Wikipedia's use, as you noted. However, Wikipedia's policies do not permit us to use images (or other content) that is licensed specifically and only to Wikipedia -- one of the important goals of our project is to make/acquire content that can be reused by other projects, be they other encyclopedias, handheld devices, or similar. Any content licensed only for Wikipedia and not available for further reuse runs contrary to those goals, and as a result our policies do not permit us to keep such images. If you can get the photo released under a general open license so that anyone can use it, we can accept it (although many photographers may be reluctant to permit such). Take care, and happy new year. -- Improv 14:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for reverting vandalism at Mountain biking. However, your revert, introduced vandalism that was hidden by the page blanking. Please check the history before reverting a page if the same ip address edits many times in a row, particularly if the most recent was vandalism, and revert all the changes. Thanks again for your help. Goodnightmush 19:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your continued support. I am sorry i cannot read hebrew otherwise i would have loved to read your articles :) I dont know why they are making such a big issue of those pictures... first they wanted to delete my article and now my pictures. I dont use widipedia much and i am learning as I go but this is totally ridiculous. Anyway, thanks for the support :) Jinanez 09:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes you did manage to find me. I am very impressed since I don't think I told you my username.
Well in any event if you need any admin help with editing in English don't hesitate to ask. Jon513 ( talk) 09:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
User pages use a subpage structure (see Wikipedia:Subpages). The software only recognizes subpages as pages following a / in certain namespaces. (Which is why things like talk page archives are always /Archive_1, /Archive_2, etc.) Thus, your page wasn't in your user space, but was in fact floating in the user namespace. Your page has been restored to User:Lizrael/SandBox. There's no need to move the text anywhere off-site, as long as it's in a subpage of your user name. Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 19:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Just tooling around en and he wikipedias following many news references to the Abutbul crime family in the news. On English wikipedia, all I can find is this pathetic article: Asi Abutbul. They aren't even mentioning Asi in the news. Google news search returns a: Francois, Charlie and Adam Abutbul at first glance. The most suspicious thing of all is that there appears to be no article about the Abutbul family at all on hebrew wikipedia. Though these guys may be second rate criminals compared to the big fish of the English speaking world, in Israel they would certainly rank. Yet [1] (category: israeli criminals) on hebrew wikipedia has no mention. It seems that wikipedia is falling behind if the israeli papers are running stories about these guys every week and they have no entry. What do you think?

Hi, I found that you have mentioned that you live in a settlement in the west bank. I want to ask you respectly, do you think you have the right to live there although it is an occupied territory and it is not a part of Israel? -- Colombos ( talk) 19:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I see you are an active Wikipedian who is fluent in both English and Russian and am hoping you can help with the backlog of articles that need translation from Russian Wikipedia. I have pre-screened and compiled a list of the most important articles needing translation from Russian Wikipedia, all of which meet our notability requirements and most of which are available in multiple languages but not English. The longest list, the biography list, consists mostly of Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of the Russian Federation, top snipers and flying aces of the Great Patriotic War, and a couple Women in Red, and frequently used redlinks. For ten full articles written from the list you will receive a Writer's barnstar; 25 or more will result in a barnstar of national merit; 50 will result in the awarding of the Translation Barnstar, and any user who translates 100 articles in full will be awarded the Rosetta Barnstar. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the project, and I look forward to seeing the new articles. Thank you, -- PlanespotterA320 ( talk) 00:35, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
