I like your photo of Hythe pier — though it does make it look as though there's a boat sailing along it... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:22, 21 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Beer Categories

edit

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Image:AttachmentsVHS.jpg

edit

Hello, Danielsmith. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:AttachmentsVHS.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Danielsmith. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:AttachmentsVHS.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AttachmentsVHS.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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. MER-C 06:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Epeefleche. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sarah Wulfeck, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Those are not reliable sources. Blog of an individual. Epeefleche (talk) 00:12, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thanks for the update - I wasn't sure which edit you meant (you rolled back two at once), so I assume it was the wayback machine link to her own blog (which is fair enough), so I've reinstated the reference to the 11 year old everything2 page about her. Daniel Smith (talk) 01:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Can you source the rest, to independent reliable sources? If nobody does, it may well be deleted. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:51, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
