Orphaned non-free image (Image:CBT-Locomotive.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:CBT-Locomotive.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

RfD nomination of Country Tracks chart

I have nominated :Country Tracks chart ([[[:Template:Fullurl:::Country Tracks chart]] edit]|talk|[[[:Template:Fullurl:::Country Tracks chart]] history]|links|[[[:Template:Fullurl:::Country Tracks chart]] watch]|logs) for discussion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use Image:KH-RockCity.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:KH-RockCity.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 17:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey theres!

After going on vacation shortly before the start of the school year, I lost all track of discussions on most Christianity related articles I had been watching :/. That mostly leaves working on WP:GA related things, which I prolifically contribute to. With the way things have been going lately in school, i'm not sure if i'd even have time to properly involve myself in Christianity related articles, even if I didn't lose track of discussion. I did notice the super problematic sentence in Jesus has finally been solved for good, which is pretty swell, and I did contribute a bit to that discussion. Homestarmy 16:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

You mean that whole lack of extant contemporaneous sources phrase? I agree, it was contemptable. Most scholars believe that Jesus at least existed; now, if we can only convince them that he is God incarnate sent to atone for the sins of humanity! But, not everyone has the Holy Spirit. Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 17:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Heh, more like "lack of extant concern for our reader's vocabulary level" if you ask me :D Homestarmy 01:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Arch, how's it going? I've unfortunately been sucked into the morrass that isHomeopathy and seen far more POV warriors there (and in other places) then we ever saw in the articles about religion. In religion articles, I can understand POV stuff, because we're discussing people's deeply and dearly held beliefs, but in articles that deal with science and pseudoscience that same level of "righteousness" just doesn't wash. In fact, in most religion articles, I've found enough folks who believe very strongly in something, but are willing to discuss their beliefs: in the other articles dicussion flies right out the window. •Jim62sch• 19:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't homeopathy imply a belief in the soul, or do I misunderstand what they mean by "vital force?" It seems there is a religious aspect after all.

It reminds me with my frustations with the Natural Law party here in Iowa. I remember them passing out literature on the "natural law" of Transcendental Meditation--which has its roots not in science, but in Hinduism! But try convincing the good people of Fairfield, Iowa of that. Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 18:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Life in the real world has gotten very busy, mostly in creating online classes, but also in personal life. That, and I'm experimenting with Facebook. 8-) I don't miss the abuse one bit. I may come back to this again someday, but for now... --CTSWyneken 14:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Interarchy.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Interarchy.png. 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. Rettetast 21:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's been replaced (but not by me). Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 19:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Cinecast_A-V.jpg

I have tagged Image:Cinecast_A-V.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 13:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Itchy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Itchy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Your edit to The God Delusion

You seem to have changed some won'ts and can'ts to will nots and cannots [1]. It seems quite a few of them were part of quotes. Can you go over your edit and fix anything that shouldn't have been changed?

You also linked some words of the form [word], which were meant to be that way. I suggest you be careful with that thing you're using and review the changes you make with it. Robots can't tell when they make 'corrections' that aren't really improvements, at least at this point in time.

You know what, never mind. I'll fix it. Just be careful with your edits, and review the one I've linked to. Richard001 (talk) 07:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that...I'll be more careful in the future. Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 16:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Cinecast-logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cinecast-logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Respect Thread Conversions

I'm looking for folks to help convert Respect Threads to wiki formatting on Project Fanboy: WikiFans. Respect Threads, showcase scans of feats performed by comic book characters and have gained an audience on several comic book message boards. A few other wiki editors and myself are trying to convert them from the unprofessional look of a bunch of posts on a message board to the formatting common with WikiMedia wiki's. To view an example of what we're doing, here is a link to Respect Silver Surfer.

I was wondering if you might have time to contribute your comic book knowledge and/or scans of comic book characters performing feats, and help us out with our Respect Articles project?Millennium Cowboy (talk) 02:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Evangelical Church in Germany

There is a discussion going on whether the name of that German church body can be translated or not (it appears like this on the english pages of this church's homepage). One user changed the name of this Church (actually a federation of several Lutheran, United and Reformed churches) and it's regional member churches to the German form because he says their names can't get translated. so the article on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria now appears under its German name because he says the "concept" can't be translated into English.

Proposed deletion of Johnny Crass

The article Johnny Crass has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP that has been unsourced since April 2009. Subject simply doesn't appear to be notable. No significant coverage found.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Michig (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
