Since you know the IPA how do you spell Runit Island? [[User:Nikospatras|Nikospatras]] ([[User talk:Nikospatras|talk]]) 19:07, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
:To my current knowledge, {{IPAc-en|'|r|u|n|ɪ|t|_|aɪ|l|ə|n|d}} (this would be redundant though, per the standard that common English words do not need IPA) would be the IPA spelling of [[Runit Island]], given I'm assuming the name pronunciation correctly. Also, good for you finding that page needing IPA. {{smiley}} Cheers! <big>[[User:Dross|<span style="color:#ffaa6b;">d</span>]][[User talk:Dross|<span style="color:#4fbeb2;">ross</span>]]</big> <small>([[Special:Contributions/Dross|c]] · [[User:Dross/contact|@]])</small> 19:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

== [[WP:ORE]] participation status ==

Hello Dross,

I am working on updating the WikiProject Oregon contributors' [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Activity‎|activity status]] page.  Your old [[user:JustAnIng|username]] causes an error when my bot attempts to process it because that is what is in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Participants]].  Do you still consider yourself part of WP:Oregon?  —[[user:EncMstr|EncMstr]] ([[user talk:EncMstr|talk]]) 20:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

== Removing my edits ==

Hello!

I understand that there is concern that I removed a section of an article, but it was a verbatim copy-paste from an earlier section of the article, under a new name at the bottom. 

[[User:Avivaw23|Avivaw23]] ([[User talk:Avivaw23|talk]]) 20:00, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

:I do see that now. A lot of red marks looks bad in RC and diff.

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the [[User talk:Ronhjones|bot owner]] if you have any questions, or you can ask them at [[Wikipedia talk:Non-free content]].

==Orphaned non-free image File:Rights Party logo.png==
[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Rights Party logo.png]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently 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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].

: Hi Dross. Non-free file such as this can only be used in articles per [[:WP:NFCC#9]]; so, you cannot use it in [[:User:Dross/drafts/The Rights Party]]. Please don't re-add the file to that page again until after it has been approved as an article. If, by chance, the file is deleted per [[:WP:F5]] before that happens, don't panic. Deleted files aren't gone forever, but rather only hidden from public view. You can request that the file be restored via [[:WP:REFUND]] once you are ready to add it to an article. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them below or at [[:WP:MCQ]]. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 06:43, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I was notified that you have put back the section that I had removed from an article. TO YOUR NOTICE, the film is successfully running in theatres till now and the entire plot has been typed out there. And that is gonna potentially affect the film's welcome. That is why I had removed it. A film which has finished the theatre can surely have the content on the page.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/103.99.149.94|103.99.149.94]] ([[User talk:103.99.149.94#top|talk]]) 19:59, 21 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Unfortunately, that is not valid reason to blank the entire plot section of the page. If it were, then all Wikipedia's current movie pages would be missing a plot section, and they wouldn't be very informational. Your response to this raises a couple concerns for me. Have you read [[WP:REMOVAL]]? The plot does not fall under any sort of valid content removal. Have you read [[WP:COI]]? Your concern with the film's performance in the theater appears to me that you may be associated with the production of the film.

== Help with Portland High School Page ==

Hi [[User:Dross]]:  I see you are involved in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Education]] and a native of the Pac NW. I was wondering if you might have time to help me with some edits on the [[Catlin Gabel School]] page? They are requesting some revisions/update, and I'm currently in a COI relationship with them and can not make the edits myself. Might you have the time to review my current requests on that page and help me usher them through, if approved? I'd greatly appreciate it.
