Welcome! Thank you for adding your humour to Wikipedia, but the articles are meant to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Dean Cook. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive). You might also want to check out Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. Matt J ^User|Talk 11:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I initially copied the Dean Cook article to my userspace so that it would be accessible to you for your exams, but I've since decided to just delete it instead. Frankly, I find it extremely unlikely that you need that for school, but just in case you do, I've emailed it to you. If you still need to post it to the web somewhere, I suggest wikispaces. Please don't re-add it to Wikipedia. Thanks.--Kchase T 12:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

As your stamp image was tagged as being unacceptable, you might like to offer an opinion about changing their guidelines for stamps such as yours which would be considered commemorative stamps. Any opinions on this issue could be very helpful: It's discussed here.]--Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 04:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IOMSPC Roundel.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:IOMSPC Roundel.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
