Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:NWBruins.gif]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] and then go to [[:Image:NWBruins.gif|the image description page]] and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure 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 [[WP:CSD#Images/media|Criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Revision as of 14:23, 5 June 2007
It was fun while it lasted here, but I haven't really been active here for months and I've decided to retire officially. I hope I made some contribution that was worthwhile, and good luck to those who I've worked with on the hockey project and elsewhere. BoojiBoy 00:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Further to the previous, I will still probably continue to update the London Knights page from time to time. BoojiBoy 04:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Reasoning
I suppose "User hates Wikipedia" isn't really very clear. It's because you keep using abusive edit summaries. DS 03:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

BoojiBoy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I've done it twice for an abusive former admin who's been desysopped. An indefinite block of a user who's been here for a couple years seems to me like killing a housefly with an atom bomb. And it's my own user space, I haven't done it on any articles at all. [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] 14:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}}
with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
{{unblock reviewed |1=I've done it twice for an abusive former admin who's been desysopped. An indefinite block of a user who's been here for a couple years seems to me like killing a housefly with an atom bomb. And it's my own user space, I haven't done it on any articles at all. [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] 14:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here
with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed |1=I've done it twice for an abusive former admin who's been desysopped. An indefinite block of a user who's been here for a couple years seems to me like killing a housefly with an atom bomb. And it's my own user space, I haven't done it on any articles at all. [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] 14:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
