FYI

I've removed the images from two of the userboxes you created (User:Captain Miles/UBX/MemberScout and User:Captain Miles/UBX/MemberAustrianScout) since the images you used were non-free. We have significant restrictions on how non-free images may be used, which you can read all about at Wikipedia:Non-free content. In particular WP:NFCC#9 prevents their use in userpages/userboxes (among other things). Please let me know if you have any questions. VernoWhitney (talk) 02:24, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Userpage non-free content

I had to remove the flag of Kugelmugel flag from your list of "Places I'm going to". Since it's non-free it's the same problem as the scouting userboxes from last week. Feel free to read WP:NFC for the entire policy or just ask if you have any questions. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:49, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Damn, ist happend again. I really have to watch this better. Sorry! Captain Miles (talk) 23:20, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

It happens to all of us from time to time. Most flags are public domain due to age or the use of simple geometry being uncopyrightable, but some (in particular those of micronations or cities or the like) are both more recent and more complicated and so non-free. Cheers. VernoWhitney (talk) 02:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Proofreading

I saw your posting in Teahouse. I am a rather fantastic proofreader and I know another editor who is an absolute expert. I would be very happy to help you. What would you like me to check out? ClaudeReigns (talk) 18:16, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello ClaudeReigns! Wow, that was fast. I don't thought that I'll get an answer so fast. Thank you for your offer. At the moment I'm writing an Article you can find here: User:Captain_Miles/Emergency_Response_Unit_(IFRC)

Sadly, I'm only making a slow progress because I have a lot of other things to do. But if it is ok, I'll contact you again when I'm finished. Captain Miles (talk) 00:13, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Be excited. :) I have proofread what you have so far, including some links on the edit summaries to some advanced grammar I learned in high school. I tried to respect your usage of British English as an international standard as much as possible. Feedback is always welcome, and I'll be happy to come back when you've made more progress. I really enjoy helping, especially on such a worthy article. ClaudeReigns (talk) 01:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Miles, I wanted to let you know that I also did a little bit of minor editing on your ERU article. If you have any questions, please leave me a message on my Talkpage or ask at the Teahouse. Cheers Kevin12xd... | speak up | take a peek | email me 03:30, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you also! Please do not correct at the moment, because I want first to write it completely. Because at the moment you are partially correcting placeholder. I'll let you know, when I'm finished. Greetings Captain Miles (talk) 13:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Very good, I will wait. ClaudeReigns (talk) 13:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I did a few more edits on the article. Maybe you want to have a look over it. So it woun'n be to much at a time. Captain Miles (talk) 13:34, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
