Non-commercial license images

We appreciate your image uploads, but unfortunately we can not accept media that is licensed for non-commercial use only. Images at Wikipedia fall into two broad categories; fair use and free license. We gladly accept free license imagery taken by yourself or specifically and provably released under a free license by the copyright holder. Fair use images are accepted too, but we strive to keep such contributions to a minimum. I've deleted all the images you uploaded since they fell under a non-commercial license usage requirement. This is covered by Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Images.2FMedia item #3. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 16:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Request for usurpation

Hello, Mikesh. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing: the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed: please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. 94.112.159.31 (talk) 17:11, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
