Replaceable fair use File:Michael_Ramirez_cartoon_allegedly_threatening_President_Bush.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Michael_Ramirez_cartoon_allegedly_threatening_President_Bush.gif. 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. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
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. Melesse (talk) 08:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of comment at MfD

Hi, Tisane, I've restored the comment you removed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Daniel TIsdale because it is best to retain all of the discussion for history purposes. Also, I've added the <s> and </s> tags to your "Move to mainspace" comment because you changed your vote to "keep". If you wish to unstrike that comment, feel free to do so. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 09:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Threatening the President of the United States

On February 20, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Threatening the President of the United States, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Speedy deletion of "National Inflation Association"

A page you created, National Inflation Association, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:John Patrick Bedell Washoe County Jail photo.JPEG

Thank you for uploading File:John Patrick Bedell Washoe County Jail photo.JPEG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:41, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RPED extension

Hi, that looks really interesting! I'll take a look and see if I can use it - it would certainly be very useful. At the moment, I just style everything blue and have a link on the "page not found" error - this would be much nicer. Thanks for the link, and thanks for working on it :) --h2g2bob (talk) 00:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2010 Pentagon shooting page

Hi Tisane,

I was looking at the "Talk:2010 Pentagon shooting" history pages and noticed this:

Alison, you, personally, deleted a page that would definitely be of interest to anyone wanting to understand the shooter mere hours after the shooting with a offhanded 'offtopic'. But the page had been there for months - it magically became 'offtopic' mere hours after the shooting? Since then you and other editors on Meta Wiki have been actively suppressing any commentary about that deletion. For you to revert the edit *here* about something directly involving yourself with an airy wave of your hand without even acknowledging your own direct involvment is dishonest. Benjamin Franz (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

   And now a 1 YEAR block has been put on the IP address I used to post to Meta. Strangely, this happened after I posted here - and without any additional posts to Meta. Allegedly my home computer is a 'Open Proxy' or a 'Zombie'. News to me. I had ignored the political whinging over the last few years about how Wikipedia had descended into blatant abuse of power by admins and sysops. Evidently I was wrong. Benjamin Franz (talk) 05:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

These above comments were deleted from the talk page too. I don't think it is right that this user has been treated this way, it looks to me like he was being conscientious. I don't know if there is anything we can do about it, what do you think?

cheers, Jamie24.108.77.192 (talk) 09:05, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
