[edit] Armageddon Factor

I think you've left out that whole last bit with the time loop and the TARDIS. If you don't mind, I'll watch the story again over the next couple of days and flesh out/rewrite the plot summary where there are still gaps. --khaosworks 02:26, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiChristian

Hi there (from a fellow Australian, but this one from further south - Adelaide)

I notice that you are a Christian. Come and take a look at www.wikichiristian.org and consider contributing. It is still small and has very few users. I'm praying that God helps the site to grow and become a forum for Christians to write and read about all aspects of Christianity. It is not meant to be a copy of wikipedia. It is not meant to be purely an encyclopedia. For any given topic, it will hopefully contain a short summary of the topic followed by links to many sub-articles - some containing simple facts; some sharing experiences; some explaining a particular viewpoint and so on.

Take for example the article on grace. It has various "Definition and explanation" articles explaining the meaning of grace. It has a few "Articles / opinions" about grace. It has links for "Quotes' about grace and links to "Songs about grace". The site is also meant to be a resource site containing information about Christian texts, literature, art, music, radio, television and internet.

Take a look at the example article on the song Shout to the Lord. It has links to information about the song, lyrics and chords to the song and links for comments or opinions to be expressed about the song.

The site also intends to explain the history of important events in Christianity. Take a look at The Reformation section. This has links for "Overview" articles, "Opinion" articles, "Quotes" and "Travel" stories.

The site intends to be a reference about major (and minor) figures in the Bible, the early church and today. Take a look at John Stott. It contains "Overview" and "Opinion" articles. It contains texts of "Talks" given by John Stott and links to "Books" by John Stott.

In summary, I suppose, that my hope is that WikiChristian becomes a major reference point for Christians and non-Christians to go to find about any issue related to Christianity. I don't believe that this should be carbon-copy of wikipedia. It should resemble it in some ways, but in other ways, it should be quite different in structure and evolution. I realize that there are different views about different topics - and accordingly, there should always be the opportunity for a person to write his personal view under the "Opinion and articles" section of any given page.

I would love you to take a look at wikichristian and contribute. If you don't wish to contribute, would you consider visiting it's world wide directory of churches we are setting up and entering your church into the database. The point of the database is to state the location of a church with the service times and add a brief description of the church. You can take a look for example at: Church Directory -> Australia -> South Australia -> Adelaide -> St Matthew's Anglican Church

If you don't wish to contribute to WikiChristian, you could consider one of the other wikis related to Christianity that have been set up by other people. These include: Theopedia, Compass or OrthoxWiki.

Thanks

I don't think a band's family tree is that important. Put it back if you like.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Badmarshandshri-signs.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Badmarshandshri-signs.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) 18:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:LesleyRankine.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:LesleyRankine.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our 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:

  1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, 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 this link. 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 non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 12:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Sidearm.jpg

Ambox warning pn.svg

A tag has been placed on Image:Sidearm.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Sidearm.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sidearm.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Sidearm.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

[edit] Triple J Hottest 100

Hi - it could definitely use a template! I also replied on Talk:Triple J Hottest 100, 2008 to gather other opinion. •Florrie•waltz a matilda• 00:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
This is as decent a thread as any, I guess. You posted a message on my talk page, which I believe should have been directed here: Talk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.168.177 (talk) 03:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

This would be the edit you're looking for, which is certainly not from me: [1] 121.208.168.177 (talk) 03:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for File:Olive-extravirgin.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Olive-extravirgin.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 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. ww2censor (talk) 15:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] TripleJ Hottest 100

Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, yes. However, did you actually read the references to the winner of the Triple J Hottest 100, 2009?

From the Crikey Page: "Sorry to ruin your Triple J Hottest 100 BBQs folks, but it seems the ABC has inadvertently leaked the winner of its popular annual poll on the ABC Shop website."

From the ABC page: "It appears the ABC has accidentally leaked the winner of this year's Triple J Hottest 100."

The winner is the artist/song at number 1. These are both good sources, especially the ABC one. Can you explain your problem with including this referenced information? 67.183.16.32 (talk) 00:46, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I can't see the word "Frontrunner" anywhere on both sources. The word "frontrunners" appears... but that is in the phrase: "frontrunners of the UK nu-folk movement." Referring to their place in the Top 100, the word "winner" is used in both references. 67.183.16.32 (talk) 00:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Which screenshot? The current page: http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/01/22/oz-day-spoiler-abc-leaks-hottest-100-victor/ Does not use the wording you describe.67.183.16.32 (talk) 01:03, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

The polls closed on the 18th of January. The date on the webpage is the 22nd of January. This is after the close date. 67.183.16.32 (talk) 01:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Which Article? The wiki page currently says the polls closed on the 18th. Please be more precise about your problem with the references. 67.183.16.32 (talk) 01:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you being deliberately obtuse? I mentioned that the wiki article said that polls closed on the 18th. The reference is dated the 22nd. The 22nd is after the 18th. Can you _please_ be more specific about your problem with the references. 67.183.16.32 (talk) 01:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Your memory is incorrect. The referenced page: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/vote.htm states that the voting ended "Sunday 18th January 2009 - midnight AEST". It's the first sentence of the voting rules. In other words, the dates are indeed correct, and the leak happened after voting finished. 67.183.16.32 (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Hatnotes and Black Swan

I replaced the extra hat-note on the above article. I can't find anything forbidding two hat-notes (although there may be something), but my reasoning is as such; the article has received a great deal of interest lately, and I suspect that people are not after the bird, as awesome as they are. These new readers are after the movie. If this were likely to remain the case it would be better to move the whole article and have the dab on the namespace, but there is no way of knowing if this will be the case in a few months, when the film isn't "current news". At present it is best to keep the article where it is, but also help people looking for the film to get there quickly. Sabine's Sunbird talk 02:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Triple J Hottest 100, 2011, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page M83 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
