Tagging articles for problems

Hello, X-Fi6

Thanks for your good work in ICO (file format). It is appreciated.

I feel I should give you a few pointers about tagging sections of articles for problems. Problem tags like {{refimprove|section}}/{{unreferenced|section}} should only be put on a section when the that section has more than three an referenced items. When the section has less, please consider tagging unreferenced items with {{citation needed}}. (Shortcut: {{fact}}) This also holds true for article-wide tags: If the total number of unreferenced items in the article is equal to or less than three, no {{refimprove}} or {{unreferenced}} should be put there.

• I didn't realize there's a standard for using the Refimprove template message. I'll follow it from now on. Thanks. X-Fi6 (talk) 19:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Dispute resolution noticeboard

Hi there. First of all, thanks for using the new noticeboard. I noticed that you opened a thread, but didn't use the button at the top of the page to add a new section. Part of the aims of the new board is to have focused discussion, but at present I'm still unsure as to what needs to be done to resolve the issues. I've removed the post from the page, but if you could repost by clicking the "add a new section button" and fill out the fields it asks to, I'd be happy to look into it for you. Thanks.

Problem resolution

Hi, i'm Rocket from the site you run. I've been banned from it, and i'd like to return to it, as i'd really like to play The Sims Online/EA-Land. RocketMaster (talk) 18:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

• >Implying I wasn't banned, too
  >Implying, if I really had any input on that site, that I'd allow for real people to be banned for holding their own opinions

Edit summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, like your edits on Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv; well done! Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. -- SchreyP ^(messages) 06:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Librsvg.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Librsvg.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 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. Skier Dude (talk) 07:00, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Nasm.png

A tag has been placed on File:Nasm.png 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Nathan2055^talk 15:16, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to MinGW may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 21:14, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
