You have a hell of a lot of updating to do here, 3/4 of the stuff on here is totally wrong!! How do you people get away with allowing Courtney Love write most of this stuff via fake names. It's so obvious, please Fix this bullshit now!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:80:4300:FF40:148A:861D:F8FD:B6CA (talk) 06:54, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps you could be a little more specific? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 16:02, 20 October 2015 (UTC).
Good way, bad way[edit]
The good way to bring notice to someone's (e.g. an arbcom clerk's) typo is to fix it and leave them a note on their personal talk page. The bad way is to make a fuss on a widely watched noticeboard. Please do more of the former and less of the latter. NE Ent 02:15, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Please feel free to change it. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:17, 16 October 2015 (UTC).

Non-free rationale for File:YK from Time Will Tell.png[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:YK from Time Will Tell.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:24, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
