Duplicate peer reviews
I do not have time to figure out what all went on here, but in future please avoid duplicate peer review requests like Wikipedia:Peer review/Android version history/archive1 and Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Android operating system versions/archive1 - there are a limited number of peer reviewers and taking two reviewers time for the same article is not an efficient use of anyone's time.

PS Any chance you might improve the article per the PR suggestions ;-) Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Adoption request
Hi Gregory Heffley, I notice you've had a request for adoption up for a little while. If you would still like to be adopted, can I suggest that you contact one of the editors on the list of adopters? As Wikipedia is a volunteer project and many adopters are busy, a more pro-active approach would mean that you are more likely to be noticed. If you've got any questions, feel free to leave me a message. WormTT · (talk) 11:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rodrick.jpeg
A tag has been placed on File:Rodrick.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Abhijay Talk?/Deeds 17:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rowley Jefferson.jpeg
A tag has been placed on File:Rowley Jefferson.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Orphaned non-free image File:Carly Foulkes as T-Mobile Girl.jpeg

Your edit to Android (operating system)
Hi there. Please be careful when using automatic tools. This Twinkle edit of yours removed half the Android article as well. I'd suggest you leave the links to Canalys in the article for now though, since the AFD that led to its deletion was treated as an expired WP:PROD, so anyone can recreate it and there is some reason to believe that the subject is noteworthy enough for its own article. WP:REDLINK encourages such redlinks to be added. Regards SoWhy 19:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
