Removal of category from your userpage

Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella. Thanks, and please excuse the necessary editing of your user page! ----Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Alexia Massalin

A tag has been placed on Alexia Massalin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Oli Filth^(talk) 23:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Shadow_Warriors.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shadow_Warriors.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 09:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

This must be a mistake. It's an official logo, which is more or less by definition not freely replaceable. —Piet Delport 2008-07-19 15:57

Matthew Watkins

Hi there. I have reverted your request for Matthew Watkins (disambiguation) to be moved to Matthew Watkins, and I have also requested that the disambiguation page be deleted. The disambiguation page currently only lists one notable Matthew Watkins, and it is highly unlikely that the other will ever become notable. In fact, I presume that the other was added by the man himself. The necessary cleanup should be done ASAP. – PeeJay 19:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Flyer (steamboat)

thanks for looking at Flyer, but I wonder if it's a good idea to rename it as only Flyer (steamboat). There was more than one steamboat named "Flyer", I'm certain there was one in Idaho in the early 1900s, and the 1891 designation was to distinguish the 1891 Flyer from the later boat.Mtsmallwood (talk) 02:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! I renamed it mostly because the naming conventions would call for "Flyer (1891 steamboat)" rather than "Flyer (steamboat 1891)".

I don't know whether the other steamboats are as notable, so i erred on the side of simplicity for now: the disambiguation can be added when the other articles (or redlinks to them) are added. —Piet Delport 2008-08-07 09:53

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Amazon Web Services logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Amazon Web Services logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
