License tagging for Image:WPTelus.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:WPTelus.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --El on ka 06:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Discover

I think I see what you were trying to do--create a duplicate, and then change it into a different article. Not unreasonable, but you;re right to do it in a user space. Just paste it back over the redirect when you're done. DGG (talk) 07:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

If I moved to fast, no harm done, for just move it back. Accommodate over-rapid readers by having them look different :). DGG (talk) 08:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I am working on getting a photo of a card for the Discover Card article, which should help (as of right now, they both just have variations on the logo, which obviously doesn't help with differentiation). As to further looking different, it's coming, I promise! Thanks for the pep talk. :) Take care, justen 08:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment

Thank you for your comment on my RfA, which was successful. I promise to treat the mop more like a cleaning device to be utilized than like a weapon to be wielded :) Lyrl^Talk _C 00:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Controversy Among United States Mobile Phone Companies

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

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Controversy Among United States Mobile Phone Companies, 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.

Smile


^Ariel♥Gold gives you a huge smile, just because you're so nice, and a fellow "verbose" commenter! Smiles promote WikiLove, and hopefully hers has made your day better! ({{subst:smile}})

I replied to a couple of you points at RFCN

When I replied, I hadn't looked through the whole thing so here is more: If you read my close of Handiarts, you will see I "expressed disatisfaction" with the pile on dissallows. I really don't like that, usernames are sent there for a few opinions from the community - repeating the same one 10 times is not in my opinion helpful - and I have argued strenuously against that sort of behaviour in the past. Feel free to remind people that it isn't a vote if you like - the more people that know that the better. Viridae ^Talk 08:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

AD's RFA

I must say I'm impressed with the way you handled that situation, and all other situations I happen to come across that involve you. –sebi 05:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
