Universality

Hey, Just a courtesy to let you know that if you don't have a font on your computer, if it's in use on Wikipedia, then generally speaking, it's going to be a commonly used font. If you're going to modify fonts, don't simply type over with a new font (and there was a reason it wasn't in arial, on the {{John Mayer}} template). If you look at the template I'fe just linked, you'll see what I've done to correct it, allowing the font wanted, but also allowing other fonts as a fallback. --lincalinca 14:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip! --BrOnXbOmBr21 23:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re-playstation 3

err, sorry...one of which may be controversial (putting the VAT note at the top of the table)...but people weren't getting it, so I thought it might clarify. If you have a better idea, please go ahead and do it. --gatoatigrado 16:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

by the way, though I don't care on my talk page, it's against MoS to put links in headers I think. --gatoatigrado 16:36, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rolling Stones ‘tongue’ logo image

While I understand that the image in question (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tongue_%28Rolling_Stones%29.png) is a rather high-res picture and thus probably not eligible for the WP fair use logo template that is invoked on its page, I don’t see why you have to go ahead and delete it directly off of my user page without at least saying something on my talk page first. If anything, start a discussion on the image’s page itself; don’t just go around deleting the image out of the code of a userbox on people’s userpages. —BrOnXbOmBr21 07:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Fair use images" can never be used on a user's page. Item #9 of Wikipedia:Fair use criteria (that I mentioned on my edit summary) is pretty clear about that. There isn't much left for discussion. I hope you understand. Best regards, --Abu badali ^(talk) 09:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MOS as applied to Garamond article: the horse neighs back

Hi BrOnXbOmBr21. Please edit or revert as you wish. My changes were a while back. My memory is this: there were far too many links of "Harry Potter" and it is especially unnecessary in the sub-head. I like Harry Potter very, very much, and it is wonderful that they include a colophon at the end of the book. Yet in the long and wide history of the typeface's uses it is not very significant and to my mind very Anglo-centric. Garamond is a French born face. It is a voice of both the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Mea culpa on the size of sub-heads. I just like them that way.

Completely off the subject, I "visited" your user page and saw the Indian flag and mention of Indian ancestry. I am just back from my first trip there (mostly Rajasthan). Amazing place. And am planning to go back in May '08. My best, Jim CApitol3 05:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Cicatrices de flagellation sur un esclave downsampled.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cicatrices de flagellation sur un esclave downsampled.jpg. 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. 03:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Playstationnetwork-1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Playstationnetwork-1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 22:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Destructoid screen.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Destructoid screen.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Destructoid screen.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Destructoid screen.jpg. 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.

Vote for a post-meetup restaurant

I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:KaiserChiefs-YoursTruly,AngryMob2007.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:KaiserChiefs-YoursTruly,AngryMob2007.jpg. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Werieth (talk) 23:47, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
