Orphaned non-free media (File:Isles of Wonder (alt.).jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Isles of Wonder (alt.).jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also added a fair use rationale to File:Isles of Wonder.jpg so it wouldn't be deleted, which is needed on all copyrighted images used here. If you could, can you add the http of where the image was used from to the source section of the template? Thanks and take care. Kindly Calmer Waters 06:25, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating the article. The image I used is from umusic.com.uk. There is also an alternate cover found here, but I'm not sure how to put it in the article.

It all set. Hope you don't mind, but I put the Umusic address you gave me into the source field. It gets a little easier with each one :) Calmer Waters 23:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the help! --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 23:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Btw. Over 4000 hits on the first day of creation! Pretty awesome. Go Vincent :) Calmer Waters 02:53, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's a lot of hits! Glad to make a helpful contribution to the Wiki community. Also, where can I find the view count of articles? --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 03:22, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is at the top the the page when viewing the history of an article, next to the external tools. You can also see how many people have the article on their watchlist, as long as it is at least 30, at the number of watchers link. Unfortunately the counter has started over after the recent page move. here was the views [1] before redirect. Calmer Waters 03:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Barnstar

Thank you for the barnstar! It is an honor to receive one from you. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I really hate spam pages. --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 05:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you OK?

I have no idea why you are nominating user-talk pages for speedy deletion, but I certainly don't need to be notified about it. -- WikHead (talk) 07:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating them for spam with Twinkle. It automatically notifies the page creator. You can disregard them if you want, since you're probably not the one spamming the pages.--Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a user talk page. If the top edit offends you, revert it, and move on. You're speedy nomination will most certainly be declined, so you're probably better off returning and correcting your mistake. -- WikHead (talk) 07:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you mean it's better to blank a user talk page than to speedy delete it? Even pages like this? --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:22, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What would be so wrong with restoring the page to my last version? This could easily have been achieved using the undo link next to the top edit. -- WikHead (talk) 07:25, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If that's what the Wikipedia community prefers, then I'll follow it. Thank you for telling me. I always thought it's normal to delete spam user talk pages created by the user since admins always delete the pages on request. --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about what the community prefers. We just don't speedy delete user-talk pages. Simply undo the IPs edit… and you will quickly see a perfectly good version of that talk page, just as I left it. -- WikHead (talk) 07:33, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(the indention is getting crazy) What if a user creates a user talk page just for spamming? Should I speedy delete it per G11 or just blank it? --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC) Here's a good example: User talk:Assaminteriors --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spam should always be removed. If there's nothing at all in the page history but spam, use your own discretion. If the spam was added by the owner of the talk-page, it could just as easily be overwritten with a user-warning message. -- WikHead (talk) 07:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips! --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And I just realized the page I nominated have non-spammed versions. I'll be more careful next time. --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 07:54, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, and pardon me for seeming somewhat "short" with you. I did however find your speedy deletion spam notification a bit offensive. Stay well, and happy editing. Regards, -- WikHead (talk) 07:56, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for the bubble tea Vincent . I'll have you know I'm not always such a grouch. If there's ever something I can assist you with in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I like to think of those who work so hard at fighting spam as my friend . Cheers! -- WikHead (talk) 19:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adivse on deleted page

Hi, my article named "Synergix Technologies" has been deleted by you as it violated rule G11. I have read the rules but is still not clear on how can I edit it to make it accepted by administrator. Can you advise me please and restore the page in my userspace so I can edit it to make it accepted. Thank you very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by John synergix (talk • contribs) 08:32, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can visit Wikipedia:Your first article for some tips. Make sure the article has a neutral point of view, does not feel like an advertisement, and have good sources. Unfortunately, I'm unable to retrieve the deleted page, but you can ask an admin for that. Try recreating the article in your user sandbox. If you have any other problems, put {{help me}} on your user talk page. Hope that helps! --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 13:33, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Junk mail from Wikipedia?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Why am I getting junk mail from "drumlinrushmore@wikipedia.org"? Is there any way to report this? --Vincent Liu (something to say?) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See wp:EMAIL#ABUSE. It is almost certainally a users who is annoyed with you - I will warn him for it. Mdann52 (talk) 08:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion of block evasion

If an editor is blocked, it means that they are not allowed to edit, not that they are free to evade the block by using another account or by editing without logging in. Doing so is sockpuppetry, and is itself a blockable offence. I don't know whether in making this edit you were under the impression that what you said was acceptable under Wikipedia policies, or whether you were intentionally encouraging a user to evade policy. However, please make sure that you don't encourage anyone to evade a block in future. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:14, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That was not my original intention, but if it feels that way, you are free to remove the comment. Sorry for that.--Vincent Liu (something to say?) 09:37, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
