WikiProject Redwall Roll Call

Thanks

Thanks for answering my questions on Esperanza. Were you a member? Most of the stuff I had already figured out, but it was nice to get the opinion of someone who was there. Thank you!! 71.131.27.16 05:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of AUJS SWINBURNE

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on AUJS SWINBURNE, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because AUJS SWINBURNE is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting AUJS SWINBURNE, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Toys

Sorry to be unclear. I was wanting a named charity, yes, as in the UK where I am from I am fairly sure some charities do reject 2nd hand toys..Andycjp (talk) 03:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Carlo Orelli

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if you still think that Carlo Orelli should be deleted. =D Cheers, CP 02:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I misread! Thanks. I just checked "what links here" and was a bit surprised, sorry about that. Cheers, CP 00:38, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello ONUnicorn, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, you can be trusted to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 23:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, thanks. As little as I've been active the last few months, I was not expecting this. Thank you.  :) It's in good hands.
You're welcome! I'm sure you'll make good use of it. Acalamari 21:57, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Purse party

A tag has been placed on Purse party, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Dust Filter (talk) 19:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Thanks to whoever reverted it... 68.57.252.166 (talk) 04:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

399 to go

We are almost done Category:Articles lacking sources from June 2006 is down to less the 400 articles to find references for. I would like to thank you for listing yourself as a volunteer at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit the project again and work on getting the last few articles referenced. We started with 5,572 and we are in the home stretch, please come and try to do a couple a day and we can finish it up in no time. Jeepday (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

New Focus at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles

The Invisible Barnstar
Thank you for your continued work and assistance on Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles, referencing and generally cleaning up articles that have needed attention for a long time. Your good work goes unseen unless someone disagrees ;) Jeepday (talk) 11:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The huge set of unreferenced articles from June of 2006 is finally completed. Thank you for your contributions. The new focus at Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles is Category:Articles lacking sources from July 2006 which as of May 28 is only 1,322 articles and should go much quicker. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and listed themselves as a volunteer. Jeepday (talk) 11:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Mille Bornes cards?

Waaay back on February 14, 2007, you tagged all the card images at Mille Bornes with {{Non-free card}}. The card images were original designs by User:John Reid, who released them under the GNU FDL. They were not part of any published Mille Bornes deck. If you have no objections, I'm going to remove the non-free card template. LordRM (talk) 17:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

If you're talking about Image:Card-mille-1975b-roll.png, for example, when it was uploaded it was uploaded as, "Roll card from the 1975 bilingual edition of Mille Bornes. {{Fair use in|Mille Bornes}}". It looks more like a scan of the card than an original drawing to me, especially since it looks exactly like the cards I've played with. Therefore I would object to that.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the ones like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MB-roll.svg, for example, I don't remember tagging them, specifically. If I did tag them I'm not quite sure what I was thinking - probably just trying to categorize the images as card images. At any rate, you've moved them to commons now so they should be fine.
Perhaps I thought they could be considered derivative works? That's a distinct possibility, and one you should probably check out with someone who is real clear on what is and isn't considered a derivative work. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 22:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Edufire situation

Hi ONUnicorn, you may not be aware but there seems to have been a problem lately with the edufire,com being added as a spam link. I say this because the edufire link apparently has a global block on it and can't be added to any article. Regards, TallMagic (talk) 05:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I know that the Edufire people were paying people to spam their external link on various Wikipedia pages. I thought this may have been a misinterpretation of the ophan article tag on the Edufire article, which is why I went around adding it to see-alsos (and removing the external link wherever I found it), so that I could de-orphan the article. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Re Template:Infobox mountain

You are using {{Infobox mountain}} on your sub page User:ONUnicorn/Browning Hill Research. Your infobox used deprecated parameter names. In the near future the template is to be updated and the old parameter names will no longer work. I updated the template for you. I hope that was OK. –droll [chat] 20:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:McGinty with kitten.gif

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:McGinty with kitten.gif. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 17:31, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rehmanabad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mongla. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
