==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Pixelatique]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Pixelatique]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|notability guideline for musical topics]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Pixelatique|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Pixelatique|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-band-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Prezbo|Prezbo]] ([[User talk:Prezbo|talk]]) 08:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia.

== Replaceable fair use File:JimJoyce.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:JimJoyce.jpg]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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:

# Go to [[:File:JimJoyce.jpg|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[File talk:JimJoyce.jpg|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, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=BuickCenturyDriver&namespace=6 this link]</span>. 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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">'''[[User:Fastily|<span style="color:#4B0082;"><big>F</big><small>ASTILY<sub>sock</sub></small></span>]]'''<sup><small>[[User talk:Fastily|<span style="color:#4B0082;">(T<small>ALK</small>)</span>]]</small></sup></span> 09:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Please review [[Wikipedia:Quotations#When not to use quotations]] and read the edit summary I used. An entire section devoted to quotes is strongly discouraged. [[Special:Contributions/98.248.33.198|98.248.33.198]] ([[User talk:98.248.33.198|talk]]) 05:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

== Wrong move ==

Hi there. Your move of the [[Victoria ezike]] was uncalled for. What prompted you to do that? The article is a candidate for A7-speedy deletion (unremarkable person), and is not to be moved into the article creator's user space. You might want to revert that move yourself. Thank you.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:JasonBayMets2010.JPG]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:File:JasonBayMets2010.JPG]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#I7|section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free image]] with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content criteria]]. 
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use guidelines]], please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{[[{{ns:Template}}:non-free fair use in|non-free fair use in]]&#124;article name that the image is used in}} tag, ''along with'' a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:File:JasonBayMets2010.JPG|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[File talk:JasonBayMets2010.JPG|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  <!-- Template:Db-badfairuse-notice -->  [[User:NatureBoyMD|NatureBoyMD]] ([[User talk:NatureBoyMD|talk]]) 22:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:JimJoyce.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:JimJoyce.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

== Belated RfA news ==

Thank you for [[User talk:SMcCandlish/Archive 32#RFA|your RfA nomination back in July 2009]], which I was not then in a position to accept.  I am writing to let you know that I am finally going to transclude [[WP:Requests for adminship/SMcCandlish 2|my RfA]], today.  Your original nomination was too outdated to use any longer (I've saved a copy of it at [[User:SMcCandlish/RfA draft]]), because it took so long for me to be in a position to actually have the time to do admin duties. Using newer nominations is not meant as any kind of slight to you. :-) You are welcome to re-add one if you like, but there are already two, so that is probably overkill. Just wanted to let you know, since you'd gone out of your way last July. — <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">'''<big>[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</big>'''   <span style="white-space:nowrap;">[[User talk:SMcCandlish|Talk⇒]] ʕ(<sup>Õ</sup>ل<sup>ō</sup>)ˀ</span>  <small>[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|Contribs]].</small></span> 19:53, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

==Your request for an editor review==
Hi there BuickCenturyDriver!. I've noticed that you've requested an [[Wikipedia:Editor review|editor review]], located [[Wikipedia:Editor review/BuickCenturyDriver|here]].

Hi, i was editing the [[Straits dollar]] page without logging in (i forgot) and got a message from you saying I blanked the entire page out. I did not blank the entire page out but actually only removed the #British Military Administration and #Civil Administration sections and copied them into the history section of the [[Malayan dollar]] page where they should belong instead of the Straits dollar page, whose history only stretched to 1939. I believe I should be able to proceed with deleting those sections again. Cheers.[[User:Slleong|Slleong]] ([[User talk:Slleong|talk]]) 16:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

== Kate Plus 8 ==

I have give three different references stating the next new episode scheduled to air on April 4th is the season 2 premiere, but for the life of me cannot get '''Baylix''' to understand that. 

That's because TLC originally listed "Gosselins, Goblins & Ghouls" as the season 2 premire, even though there weren't any new episodes after that.  

I've pointed out, with the references on this user's page, that TV Guide called "Gosselins, Goblins & Ghouls" a special and that both the Gosselin blog and TV by the Numbers calls this a "one hour premiere" episode.  I even said it's possible that TLC made a mistake and "Gosselins, Goblins & Ghouls" was originally intended to be the season 2 premiere, but they changed their minds.  That they never changed the episode summary.  My latest comment, I said that these websites that mention the word "premiere" got their information, probably a press releae, from TLC, but I doubt that will do any good.

All this information and '''Baylix''' undoes the changes I made and apparently yours too.  Until I can get a look at TLC's April schedule, it looks we'll still be reverting each other's edits.  Once I see the network's schedule, then I can say "look" this is the premiere episode.

== Neither ==

I don't believe there should be either category. If you take a look at [[WP:Overcategorization]], specifically the sections on categorizing performers by performance and small categories, you'll see that the actors who were on the show shouldn't be in a category for it and that if the category is never likely to expand beyond a couple of articles it isn't necessary. The likelihood of there being any more ''Ghostwriter'' articles that would go into a category for the show is extremely low so in my opinion the category should be removed. The two articles are linked together through hyperlinks in the text of the articles themselves. [[User:Lafe Smith|Lafe Smith]] ([[User talk:Lafe Smith|talk]]) 22:20, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

== Your RFA ==

Hi.  Can I make a friendly suggestion here?  I would recommend that you withdraw rather than have it "run its course", because it is clear that it is not going to pass, and I feel that enough input has been given to give you an idea of what you need to work on in order to pass your next RFA (which I would recommend a wait of at least 6 months or so, while attending to the issues addressed).

Hey BCD. I was just dropping by to make the same suggestion. I think, unfortunately, you should withdraw. Generally, RfAs get worse as time goes on, so once it looks like it's not going to pass withdrawing becomes the best option. Also, it's usually the first step you can take to win over opposers; it shows maturity, a willingness to accept defeat and criticism, and you can go out on the best possible note. I'm sorry the RfA took a bad turn and I hope to support you some time in the future.

Most of them do little outside of Wikipedia and consequently don't realise how inappropriate it is to demand such stringent things from their volunteer administrators... then highly amusingly they get all confused about why the majority of admins (and then, consequently, editors, for the makeup of the former and latter feed into one another) are unemployed white male grad students :D

An average of just under 100 edits a month is low for a successful RFA candidate, though many fine and uncontentious admins are here for just a few hours per month, with clueful thoughtful edits that can be less than a hundred, a huggler in the same time might do a thousand - but would risk opposes for overreliance on automated tools. I think it a shame that your RFA didn't succeed this time, and unfortunate that you didn't get more specific feedback as to why. My first RFA failed for seven distinct reasons which actually made passing the second relatively easy. Assuming you don't plan to increase the time you spend on Wikipedia, I would suggest that you install [[wp:hotcat]] and see if you enjoy the occasional visit to [[:Category:Uncategorized pages]] that would be a quick and easy way to get your edits per month above 100. I'd also suggest going to my preference, editing and tick "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary", you'll find that would resolve one concern that some raised and others like me decided on balance to overlook. One editor noted a lack of article talkpage comments, an easy way to resolve that would be to look at [[:Category:Articles to be merged]] and comment on a few merger suggestions. Hope that helps.

::Think of RFA is taking a road teat.  Some pass on the first try, other need 2 or 3 tries.  I part of that comany.  That being said, I'm thinking of request the account creator permission and assist in creating new user accounts.  All that requires is knowning the template and fulfilling the requests.  If this is not for me, let me know.  &ndash;[[User:BuickCenturyDriver|BuickCentury]][[User talk:BuickCenturyDriver|Driver]] 04:55, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
:::I can't comment on that area as I've never been active there. But shifting focus now and then keeps you fresh and widens your experience, so go for it. If you want any suggestions in the future for new things to try please pop by my talkpage, also I could always do with another collaborator at [[Wikipedia:Database reports/Living people on EN wiki who are dead on other wikis]], and its not an area I think appropriate to suggest to our younger brethren.

::::You actually don't need the account creator permission to get involved. You just need to request access to the tool (it's all at [[WP:ACC/G]]). You can figure out whether you like it or not and perhaps request the user right if you become active enough. ACC isn't really a sole focus though, most of the time there are no requests and when one comes in you have to beat everyone else to reserve the request, so I would recommend trying additional new things as well. On another note, I'm glad you're not upset about your RfA and that you intend to run again sometime.

:::::{{ec}} Although I'm a regular !voter at  RfA, I  didn't  comment  on  yours because there would have little I  could have done either way. I  could have !voted 'neutral', but even that  is seen by  many  as a 'weak oppose'.   I want you  know however, that I followed the whole process very closely.  I don't fully endorse Egg centric's comment above either, because the recent  reseach  we have done has shown  that on RfAs that  have a good chance of passing, there is generally  a very  good turnout  of admins and very  experienced users in  both  'support'  and 'oppose' sections (take [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kudpung|this RfA]] for example where there was a lot of ''very''  hard opposition - some of it justified, some not). What  one has to  be aware of, is that  being  a busy  editor ''will'' accumulate some enemies, even if all you  did was tag  their work or issue some correct  warnings,  or even just  having  a perfectly  reasonable but  different  opinion on  things. I don't  think 'pile-on'  was a real issue with  your RfA -  what  you  can do  is check  out  the users to  see who all  the voters were, their own experience, and whether they  are admins. A good analysis will  prepare you  for your next  run. WereSpielChecquers has provided some excellent suggestions about  where to work, and I  have another: read [[WP:NPP]] thoroughly, do  the patrolling  ''carefully'' to  avoid contentious tagging, and it  will quickly  broaden your experience in  some of the main  work that  admins have to do. It  will also rack up  your edit count quite quickly. Last  but  not  least, I'm  also  another user whom you  can always call  on  for help  and advice when you  are stuck.

::::::Seems like you've cited your own RFA, KP.   Yes, I know only a few lucky editors get all support and no oppose, but for the rest of us it's almost inevitable that people will be skeptical whatever you say.  &ndash;[[User:BuickCenturyDriver|BuickCentury]][[User talk:BuickCenturyDriver|Driver]] 17:44, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Yes,I cited it. I  passed, but  it  was a grueling  experience, and it  wasn't  clear until  the last  36 hours. This is what  experienced users can get  when they  run  for office, so  don't  be disappointed with  your own trial :) [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 07:41, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
::::::I'm not disappointed at with the result.  I'm pleased with the better results when you compare it to the [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/BuickCenturyDriver|first one]] which got all oppose and no support, very lopsided.  
::::::I initially intended to let my second nom stay for the week, but there were people saying it's best to withdraw, and when one of the supporters [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship%2FBuickCenturyDriver_2&action=historysubmit&diff=424140179&oldid=424139828 changed to oppose], I really saw no chance of it passing.  If I could pinpoint what exactly tipped the scales, I might be able to find out how I could pass in the future.  For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/BuickCenturyDriver_2&oldid=423890958 at this point] I had a 6-2, (75% score) and was anticipating a good score at the end, even it if it didn't pass, but after the next two comments it tumbled out of contention.  Meanwhile [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/RHM22|RHM22]]'s was at [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/RHM22&oldid=424138063 60-70%] or so when I withdrew, and now people are piling on the positives and is well on it's way to finishing with a good score. &ndash;[[User:BuickCenturyDriver|BuickCentury]][[User talk:BuickCenturyDriver|Driver]] 08:43, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:::::::My feeling is that if ''any'' experienced editor suggests you should withdraw, you probably should, because that means a few more experienced editors are probably thinking the same thing but are reluctant to say so. And I can empathize with you, I had a similar [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:X!/RfX_Report&oldid=399980520 early peak] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/28bytes&oldid=399977592 my RfA] which was ultimately unsuccessful.

== [[Luiza Milk]] ==

Hi BCD. Just  to  let  you  know that  I  have deleted and salted [[Luiza Milk]] as a G10 attack  page. If you  see anything  like this again, don't  hesitate to  slap  a G10 on it, and it  will  raise a special  alert for the admins. Don't  waste your time with  AfD on  them. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 09:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

== Following through as a File Mover ==

Hi, would you be able to follow through and "clean up" after your file moves? In the case of [[:File:JoanAllen.jpg]], the {{tl|rename media}} (or similar) template from the file needs to be removed after the move. Also, go to the original file location ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=File:02.jpg&redirect=no File:02.jpg]), click on "What links here" in the left column, and update the image link in all relevant articles (but not User pages, Talk pages, or User talk pages). In this case, the file link would be updated in the [[Joan Allen]] article. Finally, because File02.jpg is an implausible typo or misnomer, it needs to be tagged {{tl|db-r3}} for speedy deletion of a recently created redirect. I have done this for you, but in the future, please follow through. This is explained on the page that appears confirming the file move. Thank you. – <i><span style="color:#104FFF;">Ker</span><span style="color:#187FFF;">αun</span><span style="color:#18AFFF;">oςc</span><span style="color:#18DFFF;">op</span><span style="color:#18FFFF;">ia<sup>◁</sup></span>[[User:Keraunoscopia|<sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies</sub>]]</i> 17:51, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Userfying ==

Hello. When you userfy a page, as you did at [[User:Andyp571/Christopher Francis Hall]], please look at it first. This one contained unsourced mention of ''real'' living persons, including a suspicion that a named real person was the mother of the supposed subject. [[WP:BLP]] does apply to user pages, however fantasy-based they may be. Thanks, [[User:Struway2|Struway2]] ([[User talk:Struway2|talk]]) 20:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
