Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pinball construction set box.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pinball construction set box.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. « ₣ullMetal ₣alcon » 15:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Parappa the rapper 2 box.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Parappa the rapper 2 box.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. « ₣ullMetal ₣alcon » 15:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:AD&D 2nd Edition Player's Handbook.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:AD&D 2nd Edition Player's Handbook.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC) [reply]

D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

Hi there! :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 18:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have put some work into the Gary Gygax article, which I have nominated for a GA review. If there is anything you can do to help it get passed, please join in! Also, feel free to comment on the D&D WikiProject talk page regarding our efforts to get articles in the 0.7 release. BOZ (talk) 03:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfD nomination of As of January 2001

Drow

Hey there. :) In my quest to get more Wikipedia articles up to "Good Article" status, I've gotten ambitious and decided to take on the Drow article. Yeah, call me crazy, but I'm going to do it. :) I've put a bunch of work into the AD&D 1st edition section, using the sources I had on hand (don't have Q1 so did what I could), though I probably went overboard and will need to trim back a bit. I'm going to start on the 2nd edition section soon, but I would appreciate any help you or anyone you know can give towards building up the publication history properly, finding sources, checking for inaccuracies and completeness, etc. I'd especially need help in bulking up the novels section, as I don't have any of these. Any help you can give, even as a cheering section, would be appreciated. :)

We can get this done... if you haven't seen what we've done already, previous successes include Dragonlance, Drizzt Do'Urden, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Forgotten Realms, Gary Gygax, Planescape: Torment, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain, and Wizards of the Coast. :) BOZ (talk) 03:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page. ··gracefool ☺ 06:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. :) "We" are members of the D&D WikiProject, mostly myself, Drilnoth, Peregrine Fisher, and a few others who come and go. :) You're welcome to (re?)join the WikiProject, or help with our efforts, or just watch us work! BOZ (talk) 14:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have a WikiProject page? ··gracefool ☺ 22:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course we do. :) BOZ (talk) 01:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your doppelganger accounts

Just calling to make sure these are actually you and not some vandal impersonating you. If it is, why would you need all these accounts, surely it is impossible to reserve every single variation of your username. Triplestop x3 15:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep that's me. I'm reserving names which could be annoying if someone else used them. AFAIK there are no set rules on how many doppelganger accounts you can have, but I don't think I'm being excessive. ··gracefool ☺ 04:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Mimas deathstar.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Mimas deathstar.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. BJBot (talk) 03:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Druid (Dungeons & Dragons)
