As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 18:27, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Disruptive? RE: John Patrick Bedell

How are my well supported and referenced edits - done by myself, an IP editor with a varied edit history who uses talk and edit summaries disruptive when what I'm doing is removing blended text which relies entirely on a SPA's interpretation of a blog mirror from 4 years ago and which is entered with neither talk nor summary?99.151.172.170 (talk) 19:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. (None was given) It's always nice to see an Editor consider their actions. I would have liked to have seen you do so. Here is my edit:[1] and here is the somewhat unintelligible supposed "undoing of vandalism" you put in its place:[2]. I trust you can see the difference, vandalism my edit was not. _99.151.172.170 (talk) 19:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Your name has been mentioned at AN/I[3] with regards to the vandal whose edit you've supported.99.151.172.170 (talk) 20:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

John Patrick Bedell

Hi there,GoneAwayNowAndRetired

Could you possibly restore the shooting section to the John Patrick Bedell article?.
Its protected now so I can't and I wrote a good deal of it! You had it back then this happened DIFF? Most of the story gone! But all the bloggy crap still in. Help!

You may have mistaken what 99.151.172.170 ws doing as they have been reverting a definite edit warrer 97.119.97.118. (who I gave a 3RR warning) Thanks for your time! :-)--220.101.28.25 (talk) 20:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Looks like I missed you. The text has been reverted,(by Toitoine I might add!) Sorry to say so, but I feel it's a bit' much to revert Toitoine for alledged vandalism HERE when he started this article! Mistakes are made so let's all Assume Good Faith and be WP:Civil all round (even for those horrid ANON IPs.) We're not all fly by night vandals, check my contribs HERE ;-) --220.101.28.25 (talk) 00:01, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Bunnell high-scool-schoo jpg.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bunnell high-scool-schoo jpg.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Skier Dude (talk 04:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:ALEAGUEOFTHEIROWN STATICSHOCK.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ALEAGUEOFTHEIROWN STATICSHOCK.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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
