Spammy DYK update/housekeeping-type notice

HI (sorry 'bout the spammy note), DYK updates have been a bit slow and there's a bit of a shortage of admins actively involved. We are asking folks who listed themselves on Wikipedia:Did you know/Admins to update details on this page - User:Olaf Davis/DYKadmins, so we can grade everyone's involvement (and who, knows, someone may want to get involved more :) ).

Proposed deletion of Gallery of 1913 Great Lakes storm images/Cleveland images

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gallery of 1913 Great Lakes storm images/Cleveland images, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BrandNewMontyPythonPapperbok.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BrandNewMontyPythonPapperbok.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 '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.

All faiths united are involved edwardcares83@msn.com

Hi, i am Edward Pavelka;

I was over in Germany and visited most of the concentration camps. The ground i stood on was gravel like material but was bones of the living flesh of the final solution.

I actually cried when i saw the devistation, and the stench was still evident in the air and in the chamber courters.

For all the humans that indured the unthinkable, their souls are more at peace than any of our souls will ever be. When my time comes to pass on, i hope to meet these blessed souls.

May God bless the redeemers that helped the living, become free again

God Bless the British,American,Scotish soldiers that recieved many blessings for doing so.

thank you

FPC Result Template

Hi Brian,

I see you were instrumental in creating Template:FPCresult.

Just a question you may be able to help with. On the talkpage Template talk:FPCresult it says "The bot will assume that anything without the leading keyword Image: means that the picture was not promoted". I'm not sure what the bot mentioned actually does, or even why the template is necessary, so perhaps you can provide some information.

With the change of pictures to have the lead word File rather than Image, how should they be closed? Will there be any problems with discrepant names being used, or a problem if people close using File rather than Image?

See for example Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Alstroemeria aurantiaca.jpg, where File:Alstroemeria aurantiaca.jpg has been closed with {{FPCresult|Promoted|Image:Alstroemeria aurantiaca.JPG}}, or conversely Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/The Dakota, 1890 where the closer has used the File leader.

Thanks for any input you can give, --jjron (talk) 14:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyway. AllyUnion hasn't edited since a single edit in November and before that not since May, so I'd tend to say he's MIA, which is why I thought I'd try you first. May have a bit more of a look into it. --jjron (talk) 11:10, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rand

I just wished to clarify that I wasn't conceding that her position could be justified as plausible, no matter how we interpret it. I'll try harder to refrain from calling her crackers and what not. I can do it. I can stop calling Rand bonkers in the interests of civility. I vow to no longer distract from the discussion by calling her bonkers, crackers, and the like. It's hard, but I realize that it's inappropriate. CABlankenship (talk) 19:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Long ago you made the first version of the List of members of the National Academy of Sciences, as a table. I now want to do the same for the National Academy of Engineering.

File source problem with File:Kermit0918.ogg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Kermit0918.ogg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
