Children's Party At The Palace

I have deleted the article as it is non-encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a bulletin board for commnicating with friends. Please do not recreate the article again. Regards, Kimchi.sg 18:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I do not understand what you mean by 'commnicating with friends', this is a national event.

If you wish to work on your article without the risk of it being deleted, consider starting the article in your user space first. You could start it as a page called User:Blake01/Party, then move it to its proper title when it is done. In the user space, it will not be mistaken for nonsense. Regards, Kimchi.sg 18:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for you help Blake01 18:29, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Nparty02.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nparty02.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Please stop. If you continue to blank or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Oscar Elías Biscet, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JD[^{don't talk}|_email] 17:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcoming

Hi Blake01, thanks for your efforts to welcome newcomers to Wikipedia. However, you might like to refrain from welcoming users with no edits, as it may cause problems later on with dealing with dormant accounts and whatnot, especially with the Single User Login system on the horizon. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 15:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Slightly the same as above, but please avoid welcoming users that are email address, as these will be blocked. Thanks! Iola k ana|^T 17:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Fixing disambiguation

Hi! You fixed a link to a disambiguation page at Addingham. If you're interested in working on that kind of thing, this page might interest you. The British page needs someone; if you'd be interested in adopting it and keeping it clean of unnecessary inbound links, look here. Thanks. --Tkynerd 18:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Windows-live-messsenger-logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Windows-live-messsenger-logo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Netmagazine-issue155.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Netmagazine-issue155.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Bagshot Pirates

The article Bagshot Pirates has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 16:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Because fantasy teams aren't notable -- see WP:N and WP:V. NawlinWiki 16:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

- Also, userboxes belong in userspace. I've moved yours to User:Blake01/FML Infobox. NawlinWiki 17:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

speedy deletion

When did I remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created myself? Winksajdl;aslkdjasklj 13:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Your warning lies then tsk tsk for shame xx Winksajdl;aslkdjasklj 13:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

What is the procedure for contested speedies? Should the article go up on AfD, from what I understand of WP:Bio articles under fitting CSD A7 is particulary troublesome when allowed to stay onwiki. Taemyr 13:49, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Torquay Boys' Grammar School

Thanks for correcting some typos in Torquay Boys' Grammar School. However, please be aware of Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English (specifically Strong national ties to a topic and Retaining the existing variety) before changing spelling from British to American English. Thank you. —Safalra (talk) 21:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Blake01. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. β^_command 14:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Not sure how my submission from 20:59, 7 December 2007 to List of Will & Grace DVD releases is considered vandalism? The DVD was released three days ago and I updated the information to read: "This DVD set includes all 23 episodes from the seventh season in their entirety, including the "super size" season premier "FYI: I Hurt, Too" and the one-hour "Queens For a Day"." Yet you reverted that update as vandalism? What gives? --Pisceandreams (talk) 21:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Ha, ha. You got knocked back by VandalProof.

Give articles a chance before putting speedy tags. Relaxant Crap Dike (talk) 10:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Ha Ha Ha you have to use TWINKLE because Vandalproof knocked you back.

okay, I'll put it on. Relaxant Crap Dike (talk) 10:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Marbles

You and I play a very different game of marbles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.197.255.21 (talk) 18:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Explain please

I totally misunderstand your comment to me.Muscovite99 (talk) 19:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

My first edit (that you reverted) was the reversion of this [1] -- an obvious vandalism. Please revert all your reversions except tha last one which I have done already.Muscovite99 (talk) 19:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The purpose was addition of useful information -- it is still there now. The removed passages are tottally irrelevant and pointless(they are also there now, if you like them). Also see Discussion page on the article [2]Muscovite99 (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

A matter of faith

In this edit of yours, in the entry for Foxy Brown, you characterized the previous edit by User:71.255.55.234, the edit you reverted from, as a good faith edit. Why do you presume good faith? User:71.255.55.234 for many months has been routinely trying to insert a false Birth Date for the subject of the entry. (You can read the "Birth Date dispute" section, if you want.) -The Gnome (talk) 07:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Warning

I suggest you watch who your templating. — Save_Us_229 17:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

WTF are you talking about. I suggest you learn how to read logs better [3]. I was reverting it. — Save_Us_229 17:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Quite alright, Its just that I see red when I see a template message like that when it was supposed to be directed at the obvious vandal. — Save_Us_229 18:01, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Fractics.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Fractics.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dbiel ^(Talk) 02:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
