== Redirect to non-existent talk page ==

Hi there. A bot left a message for me about your nomination of [[Template talk:Thread retitled/doc]] for speedy deletion. I thought you might like to know the history behind this, which is explained at: [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Allow redirects to empty template talk pages, from template doc talk pages]], including my reasons for not opposing the speedy deletion. I had left the example in place as a demonstration for anyone reading that discussion, and was still hoping some people might add to it, but as I say there, I think enough time has now passed. Thanks for spotting this and dealing with it. I maybe should have left a note in the edit summary about this (a talk page doesn't have a talk page, and message can't be left on redirects), but one other way to find out what is going on in a case like this is to (a) ask the creator of the page, and (b) to follow "what links here" for the link: [Template talk:Thread retitled/doc see here]. This shows that the page you nominated for speedy deletion was linked from two places (and later frmo my talk page after the bot left the message): [[User:SXT40/BRedir]] (the list you are using to find redirects that need deletion) and [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion]] (where you would have found the discussion explaining the existence of the redirect). Using "what links here" to investigate the history of a page is a much under-used trick. Anyway, hope that was all helpful. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 08:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Srcutoffnotice.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Srcutoffnotice.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

The relevant information was/is available on the image page, albeit, not condensed into a template for ease of digestion by a bot. I've fixed it, to make the bot happy... --SXT4 19:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to non-existent talk page

Hi there. A bot left a message for me about your nomination of Template talk:Thread retitled/doc for speedy deletion. I thought you might like to know the history behind this, which is explained at: Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Allow redirects to empty template talk pages, from template doc talk pages, including my reasons for not opposing the speedy deletion. I had left the example in place as a demonstration for anyone reading that discussion, and was still hoping some people might add to it, but as I say there, I think enough time has now passed. Thanks for spotting this and dealing with it. I maybe should have left a note in the edit summary about this (a talk page doesn't have a talk page, and message can't be left on redirects), but one other way to find out what is going on in a case like this is to (a) ask the creator of the page, and (b) to follow "what links here" for the link: [Template talk:Thread retitled/doc see here]. This shows that the page you nominated for speedy deletion was linked from two places (and later frmo my talk page after the bot left the message): User:SXT40/BRedir (the list you are using to find redirects that need deletion) and Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion (where you would have found the discussion explaining the existence of the redirect).
