Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:BauerHall.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:100 0450.jpg. The copy called Image:100 0450.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

Image copyright problem with Image:BauerHall.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:BauerHall.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Strangerer (Talk) 16:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Social Interaction via MMORPGs

I have nominated Social Interaction via MMORPGs, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Social Interaction via MMORPGs. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Your article on Social Interaction in MMORPGs

I'd like to offer you my help in cleaning up this article in order to make it meet Wikipedia's article guidelines for inclusion. I'm impressed with the amount of work that you've put in, but want to help with providing advice and guidance in order to help avoiding articles being tagged for deletion as has happened in this case. If you're interested, please leave a note, either here or on my talk page, and I'll get back to you with how to move this further. Many thanks, and keep up the good work.Gazimoff ^Write _Read 14:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Gazimoff

I would love for you to help me clean this article up. I have put in quite a bit of work and only wanted to create an interesting article, not a controversy. I am not entirely knowledgeable about what content is acceptable on Wikipedia and what is not. Thus, any help would be fantastic. Thank you so much!

OK, to get started, there's a quick-start tutorial here which will explain how things generally work. Once you've gone through that, a guide to writing your first article can be found here. Once you've mastered the basics, advice on how to make articles even better can be found here. These guides explain content guidelines better than I ever could. We also have a Manual of Style that you may want to look at, but it's not crucial reading to start with.

After all that, there's one mroe place that I suggest you look at, and that's WikiProject Video games. Wikiprojects are dedicated to improving a certain category of article. There you'll find editors who can provide help and advice, as well as resources, templates and so on for you tu use in your articles.

Hope all this helps. Any questions, just shout!Gazimoff ^Write _Read 22:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave further notes on the article's talk page. You might want to perform a cleanup on the content you have there before you add any more. Hope this helps!Gazimoff ^Write _Read 21:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asenine withdrew his nomination since it had gathered no support and the sentiment was in favor of attempting improvement. I'm going to do some work on it, but as I'm still quite erratic following an incident that involved a botched ADHD test, feel free to tell me so if you wish to have me do more.

*Cough*

Moving right along, I hope that you were not dismayed. This was not a controversy, this was the local equivalent of an overzealous airport security officer. Several of our new page patrollers tend to shoot first and ask questions later. It was probably inevitable in a voluntary meritocracy, but it is a problem. If you want to see true Wikipedia controversy, check the discussion on the (NON-WORKSAFE) "Virgin Killer" album article, the various deletion nominations and appeals of the album cover image, and the associated US conservative media coverage. Better yet, don't. --Kiz o r 20:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, thanks so much Gazimoff. So you are aware, I may be a bit slow in making corrections, as I am currently finishing up my semester at Cornell and moving back home for the summer. However, I am certainly going to follow your advice! Wildcats087 (talk) 17:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
