<big><big><b>Pdfpdf is on an extended wikibreak,</b></big> and could probably be considered to be "semi retired".</big>

<b>However, he will be notified via email of any edits you make to this page, and will eventually respond to them (if a response is necessary).</b>

He retired from full-time work in 2018, and after a concerted 6 month spurt of feverish activity on Wikipedia, decided to get a life.<br />
<i>(Don't you love it when people talk about themselves in the third person? Not?)</i><br />

<b>He fondly remembers his (surprisingly) many wiki-friends, and thanks them for their support!</b>

:- I uploaded it 14.5 years ago!
This image is a [[derivative work]], ... While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, ... so the overall [[copyright]] status is unclear.<br>
Thank you. [[User:Minorax|Minorax]]([[User talk:Minorax|talk]]) 12:59, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

<S>== Speedy deletion nomination of Deadlink ==

Hello, Pdfpdf

Welcome to Wikipedia!  

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, [[Deadlink]], for deletion because it seems to be [[WP:PN|incoherent gibberish]]. If you want to practice editing-skills, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]].

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Deadlink}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span> but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Deadlink&subtype=delete|deleting administrator}}.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Significa liberdade<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!</S>

{{tps}}
:{{Re|Significa liberdade}}, the edit in question was the creation of a redirect on '''26 August 2009''', which was valid at the time, with the target page itself subsequently being redirected. I take it that this inappropriate notice was apparently autogenerated by the Page Curation tool which was triggered by your use of the "speedy deletion-nonsense" criterion, rather than by you placing it here. I note that your nomination for deletion of the redirect was later reverted, as discussed on [[User_talk:Significa_liberdade/Archive_1#Unintelligible_message|your talk page]], but without any deletion of the message on this very experienced editor's talk page. This makes it a bit difficult for uninvolved editors to follow what has gone on, so I've struck it out. [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 05:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Pdfpdf, it's been nearly four years since the last Adelaide meetup! Would you be interested in taking part, if one is organised some time in the New Year? Cheers, [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 05:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

== Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society ==
[[File:Fifteen Year Society userbox.svg|left|125px|link=Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society]] Dear Pdfpdf,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the '''[[Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society|Fifteen Year Society]]''', an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.

Best regards, [[User:Nford24|Nford24]] ([[User Talk:Nford24|PE121 Personnel Request Form]]) 21:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks mate. I don't think I qualify as a "participating editor" these days :).

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Category:Thitu Reefs]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:Thitu Reefs]] indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia featured topics categories|featured topics category]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:Thitu Reefs|visiting the page]] and removing the speedy deletion tag. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 03:36, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Royal Geographical Society of South Australia]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations]] for more information. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Royal Geographical Society of South Australia|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Royal+Geographical+Society+of+South+Australia|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Arial;background-color:#fff;border:2px dashed#69c73e">[[User:Cowboygilbert|<span style="color:#3f6b39">'''Cowboygilbert'''</span>]] - [[User talk:Cowboygilbert|<span style="color:#d12667"> (talk) ♥</span>]]</span> 01:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:China Media Group (disambiguation)]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:China Media Group (disambiguation)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Disambiguation page not required ([[WP:ONEOTHER]]). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:China Media Group (disambiguation)|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Shhhnotsoloud|Shhhnotsoloud]] ([[User talk:Shhhnotsoloud|talk]]) 17:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Ordem do Infante D. Henrique.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|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 [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].
