Welcome
[edit]Hello, Rhrad, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Deepu Joseph (a.k.a. thunderboltz). Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Provide an Edit summary
- Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
- Create a User page
Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - Just click here to leave me a message; or add {{helpme}} to this page.-- thunderboltz(Deepu) 12:08, August 18, 2024 (UTC)
You created an article at 81.136.77.210, but I think you meant to post it as a vandalism report. You might want to go to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and check the instructions there. Be aware that all the appropriate warnings need to be sent to this user before a vandalism report at WP:AIAV will be taken, though. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 17:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Josh mausam cover.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Josh mausam 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Uhm, regarding page blanking...
[edit]If an author blanks a page, that is technically a request for deletion. That means the page can be tagged with {{db-author}}. This is usually not considered vandalism. Logical2uReview me! 20:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- My mistake...jumped the gun on reverting that one. Looks like it's been reverted. -Rhrad 20:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Same problem here, sorry for attempting to delete this page; I realized later that the capitalization was wrong and created another one. Bolotinsky 20:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The 13-year-old version of Brandon Hein
[edit]Thank you! He sounded like a good kid. --CliffC 19:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
An editor has nominated Murloc, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murloc and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. - Tiswas(t) 13:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Josh_band.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Josh_band.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Rettetast 06:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Josh-MHT.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Josh-MHT.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for developing good descriptions for many of the rows of List of NHLs in IL. I had run out of steam when developing that list, and indeed was a bit snarky, that's a good word for it. Thanks! :) doncram (talk) 00:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
