Thanks for uploading Image:Colleen Mccabe.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JD talk 11:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Alex9891, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) -- cholmes75 ( chit chat) 15:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC) |
Mike's RfA Thanks | ||
Alex9891: Thanks very much for your support at my RfA. Unfortunately, it was clear that no consensus was going to be reached, and I have withdrawn the request at a final tally of 31/17/4. Regardless, I really appreciate your confidence in me. Despite the failure, rest assured that I will continue to edit Wikipedia as before. If all goes well, I think that I will re-apply in January or February. - Mike | Talk 04:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC) |

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I
are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can
unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or
summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired
special powers, and there's even a feature to
roll back time. With such
awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to
tread lightly to avoid causing
irreversible damage and getting into any
wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be
of use.

Please, don't remove the sprotect tag from the article. After you have removed, several vandalism occured. Thank you.-- Giovanni Giove 12:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't remove tag. It is not true that "it does nothing". After the removing several vandalism occured. Please, if you don't agree discuss in the talk page. Thank you-- Giovanni Giove 13:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I accepted the nomination for adminship. Would you like to post it on RFA? Hello32020 22:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Just give them separate boxes with overlapping reigns. That's what was done with Stephen and Matilda for example. TharkunColl 01:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Alex, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, M a rtinp23 14:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |
I just wanted to thank you for your help with today's Gilbert front page. By keeping down the vandals, you helped a lot of good edits to get through, a surprising number of which are of very good quality. Thanks! Adam Cuerden talk 15:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
The source cited says she was not taken by foce and the removal of the word not makes the rest of the paragraph nonsence. Please do not revert and please read through the source when changing a cited section.-- Lucy-marie 19:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thank you very much for your support! ReyBrujo 22:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |
Yeah, I know. Sandy was already talking to me about why I protected the page. I personally don't want to handle it, since I was the one who originally protected the page; so I'll let some other admin deal with it. Nishkid 64 00:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Here, you claim that I used the rollback inappropriately. In fact, I was using it to enforce Wikipedia policy. It is a violation of WP:FUC to add an image with a noted blatantly false license, no source, and no rationale. -- Yamla 18:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry if I appeared rude but he has removed an article that I took the time to write without any reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frog on a log ( talk • contribs)

Dear Alex, thank you for offering your assistance, now I will take advantage of that. I was wondering if you could guide me in regards to the page I am working on for my High School. I would like to make a list of all the school's past student government officers, but so far, the attempts have been deleted. Let me know what you think-- Brogman 14:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
It took me a while to figure out this was you! Maybe you should add a notice to your userpage indicating your old username? Mike 18:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Definitely Galactian/Sunderland/SpaceBot/Molag Bal. Thanks for letting me know. I tagged the user as blocked sockpuppet of Molag Bal. Nishkid 64 20:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there; thank you; you were so quick at reverting my userpage that I had not noticed it had been hit.-- Anthony.bradbury 00:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
If you see an article named hamdrew please do not delete it. It was meant for a joke and I created it. -- Hamdrew 04:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Hahaha...=) That user is out of control on Wikipedia. That...and he's also a total idiot. He edits the same exact articles with different accounts, thinking he won't get caught. It's pathetic. Nishkid 64 17:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
At the start of articles it says it is the third series when it is the second, the fifth when it is the third and the sixth when it is the fourth. Bencey 20:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I think you might overload the list if you put titles in like that. Some of the Anglo-Saxon ones were extremely long, and at the other end of the list, Elizabeth II has been queen of 32 realms in her time. TharkunColl 00:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm still not sure how it would work, but I have to come off now. I'll continue tomorrow. -- Majorly ( Talk) 00:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I have found out the proclamation dates for Sweyn and Harthacanute. Both of these succeeded in unusual circumstances (Sweyn was a conqueror and Harthacanute was out of the country). All the rest, so far as I have been able to tell - I'm still looking into it - were described by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as succeeding their predecessors without further comment. We must assume that formal "election" by the Witan - as was customary during this period - would have taken place as soon as possible. Taking Harold Godwinson as an example of this practice, and in the absense of any other evidence, I'm going to assume that this "election" took place the following day, which at least gives us a specific date even if it might be out by a day or two. I shall amend the list accordingly. Note also Athelstan, whose accession to the whole of England was delayed a few weeks by Elfward in Wessex, hence the gap. I've also amended Ethelred to show one continuous reign, because he was never actually deposed and was only out of the country for a few weeks from January to Lent. TharkunColl 14:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I was having visions of me speedy tagging that for the next couple of hours. The fact that the creator's talkpage was vprotected didn't help! Thanks for the unblock. Tonywalton | Talk 17:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
What's the guideline for amount of recent activity to warrant page protection? I didn't see a mention of level of activity in the policy pages regarding protection or semi-protection. I'm the person who requested protection for the Bee article, which I did due to the consistency of vandalism that page gets (about one vandalism every 29 hrs over the past month). Granted it's not a page that's currently subject to heavy current vandalism or edit warring, but it does seem to be a common target of vandals (not sure why that would be, considering how non-controversial it is). Anyway, for the benefit of my understanding and my decisions to recommend for protection in the future, please give me some 411 on this issue. Please respond here, I am not a fan of dueling talk-page messages.
