Your GA nomination of Voyager 1

The article Voyager 1 you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Voyager 1 for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Inti

I removed a VERY strange section in the Article:

"A card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Sun Dragon Inti, is based on this sun god. This was not true.

Inti is also the name of one of five children in The Power of five. series written by Anthony Horowitz. He was from ancient Peru. The author is suggesting that the god is named after the boy."

Not only does it seem irrelevant, but it is also very badly written and I do not see any other statement in than: "The author is suggesting that the god is named after the boy."

I think the section should be removed, or at least altered (but I personally do not see how one can "improve" it). — Precedingunsigned comment added by84.134.76.191 (talk) 13:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Now please add proper citations for the same..... Herald talk with me 08:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Page layout

I have been a member of Wikipedia for nearly seven years and in that time, I have not once seen a page as nicely designed as yours! I could take a page or two out of your book! ;)DarthBotto talkcont 23:00, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the compliment. for designing the page, I have used my ideas along with the ideas of Koavf, Soham, Jayadev,Pratyya and many others who really helped me when I asked the permission from them to copy their codes. Even though it was free, I felt it as the Wikiquette for doing so. Thanks again.. Herald talk with me 08:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Oh, what I meant was that I think your design is very inspiration and I hope to find a way to eventually do justice to my page. I wouldn't ever take your Wikicode. But, much respect from my end, nonetheless! :) DarthBotto talkcont 20:32, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Maintainence Template: Historicity of Jesus

You added a "Request for Quote" template to the Historicity of Jesus article. I removed the template because the citation at the end of the sentence already includes a quotation, so there is no need to for one within the sentence itself. ReformedArsenal (talk) 14:54, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Touchmate Logo.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Touchmate Logo.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takescopyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page oncopyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 15:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Periodic table-color.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Periodic table-color.png, has been listed atWikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on thefile description page.

File permission problem with File:Touchmate Logo.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Touchmate Logo.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as{{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2(talk) 16:06, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Please check carefully before reverting

Please before reverting Unity in diversity please check carefully. I did revert it due to found Vandalism. Which you just reverted back see the diffs. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 13:43, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I left you this message so you know, as such I will revert it back the version before it was vandalized. If you have any questions please leave me a message. --Clarkcj12(talk) 13:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Yeh..Thanks...But the reverts were done almost at the same time. one using Twinkle and other using Igloo. Anyway. thanks for the info... Herald talk with me13:50, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Your welcome, I was just letting you know. And I totally understand especially with ClueBot being down and all. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I did give the reason for merging and redirecting the page it was per this discussionWikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Game_Maker_Language71.169.100.159 (talk) 14:21, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I have said that it was an accidental rollback in your talk page.. Herald talk with me 14:23, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
I see that now, while you are at it can you assist me clearing that pages links?
Of course.. Herald talk with me 14:26, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
The GameMaker:_Studio article has double redirects, actually an infinite loop of redirects because of linking the Game Maker Language article.71.169.100.159 (talk) 14:28, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Planet Herald, your reversion of the redirect was correct. That AFD is still ongoing, it has only been open for a day and there is no over whelming consensus at this point to close it. I have completely undone the redirect. It should just wait for the AFD to be closed before the redirect happens. GB fan 15:01, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot... Herald talk with me 15:05, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Revert question

Hey - would you mind explaining this revert to me? Thanks, "Pepper" @ 15:08, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Shall I ask you the need for bolding the word. please?? I think it as useless. if not I shall revert it... Herald talk with me 15:12, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
It's in order to be consistent with the manual of style. I have been making my way throughWP:USRD articles since February fixing these problems. In general, though, just because you think something to be useless, that is not a reason for reverting. Undoing with a valid reason, sure, but not reverting. For proof sake, my discussion at WT:USRD back in February ishere. "Pepper"@ 15:18, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Alright... Herald talk with me 15:19, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
