Replaceable fair use File:Mercedes-Benz Viano Facelift Rear Three Quarter View.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Mercedes-Benz Viano Facelift Rear Three Quarter View.jpg. 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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Peripitus (Talk) 13:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Title changes to Rover 400 & 200 articles[edit]
Hi, I notice you recently re-titled these pages to be "more accurate". It would be helpful to know more about how you felt these changes improved the accuracy of the articles, to this end I've begun a discussion and I hope you will participate. Thanks! Splateagle (talk) 09:52, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks for bringing the discussion to my attention. I've responded as you requested and I hope that clears up why I made those changes. CyanIsland (talk) 14:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Tables[edit]
Hello Cyan,
Thanks for all your hard work on Rover's compacts. The tables, however, are rather large. I am going to try a smaller font, maybe this will keep them within bounds. I would also like you to check out the collapsed tables I made here, perhaps they are not attention grabbing enough but they do allow for higher legibility. Best, ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃ (talk) 16:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Oh, those expanding tables are good! I'm still pretty new to Wikipedia (long-term user, mind) so I only really know the basics, haha. I look forward to seeing the changes you're making. CyanIsland (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I just shrunk the Rover 25 tables for now, this way they fit sideways in a smaller window such as mine. Maybe some other minor fettling later. I don't really know what I'm doing either, I just copy things that I see and like elsewhere. ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃ (talk) 06:02, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Rover 200 / 25 etc etc[edit]
Hello Cyan: Is it necessary to add quite so much stuff from period car magazines to the compact Rover articles? There is a good chance that future editors will remove much of that stuff anyhow as non-encyclopaedic. Lord knows that there are enough other articles which could benefit from your work. ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃ (talk) 13:39, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi! Can I just clarify what you section you mean? The reviews section? I was thinking of chopping up the reviews into two sections: one of the 200 and one for the 25. That'll leave 3 and 5 reviews for each model respectively. Still too much?
- I don't edit wikipedia too much as I hate treading on other people's toes. I don't mind creating new articles from scratch, though (such as the Viano and Vaneo pages) as I'm less likely to upset anyone! CyanIsland (talk) 16:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure myself what the numbers are, but I know that there are a few users out there who add so much stuff that useful information gets lost. Especially American VW fans tend to go overboard, and I've noticed that reviews and other material from car magazines is what's usually thrown out first when articles are being trimmed.
- As for only editing your own articles, once you carve out your own niche somewhere (as you have done), applying what you've learned elsewhere can be quite fun - as can the process of overcoming differences and so forth. Anyhow, I find this a useful place to start if you are looking for things to do: Automobile Stubs ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃ (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Mariah Carey - Oh Santa! (Official Single Cover).jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Mariah Carey - Oh Santa! (Official Single Cover).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Fair use rationale for File:Mercedes-Benz_Viano_Facelift_Front_Three_Quarter_View.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mercedes-Benz_Viano_Facelift_Front_Three_Quarter_View.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 09:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:39, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

When splitting articles, it's usually expected that editors will both discuss this beforehand, use edit summaries to let others know what's happening, and editors are required to annotate the new article talk page with the source of the material used, in order to provide an authorship and copyright licensing trail. As it is, removing large blocks of content unexplained looks like vandalism and is likely to cause problems. Editors reviewing such changes then have to look through your history to see what else you've done and whether this is an appropriate change or not.
Also why exclude the ADO16? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:43, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hello! I apologise, I didn't mean to make any more work for anyone, I just wanted to tidy up what was a confusing and rather mixed page which looked like it wasn't being updated. I was going to do the ADO16 as well but under the circumstances perhaps I should leave it alone for now. Thanks for bringing these issues to my attention.CyanIsland

The article Rover 200 Series / 400 Series has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not a proper disambig page; just weird.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dicklyon (talk) 03:08, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Go for it, I agree with you. The Rover 200, 400, 25, 45 pages are all messy and confusing - it would be good if the whole lot could be disseminated and redone properly, but that's probably asking too much! CyanIsland
Nomination of Rover 200 Series / 400 Series for deletion[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rover 200 Series / 400 Series is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rover 200 Series / 400 Series (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Dicklyon (talk) 15:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
