| Greetings. I noticed you closed the discussion for ] and deleted the image. I don't believe you followed correct policy when doing so. Your comments indicated that you deleted the image based not on the consensus of the people who commented below, but on your own opinion that the image violated FUCC #8. In the discussion below, 3 Wikipedians (Abu, Howcheng, and Ilse) stated that they believed the image to violate FUCC #8, while 8 Wikipedians (me, Pageant, nadav, Mecu, Angelo, Videmus Omnia, TCC, and Andrew c) stated that they believed the image passed FUCC #8. (In addition, Knulclunk voted to keep the image, but did not say why, and Iamunknown thought the image should be deleted, but gave no opinion of whether the image passed NFCC #8 or not, since his argument was based on other criteria.) I can't see any way to interpret 3 to 8 against as being consensus for deletion based on FUCC #8. In the ] page, it says "Before deleting an image, make sure. . . No objections to its deletion have been raised, or a consensus to delete has been reached." I ask you to rethink your decision. Thank you, – ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 17:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Fair-use issues aren't resolved by consensus. They're resolved by adherance to policy. (Basically, no number of people who like an image can override ].) I evaluated the arguments based on the fair-use policy, and they did not justify the use of the image. Eight Wikipedians felt it met #8, but nobody refuted that this was a routine, annual event, or that the copyright holder carefully controlled the use of these images (and our use did not meet these conditions). | |||

You need to grasp that these things take time but your insatiable and irrational need for immediate perfection blinds you this fact. The articles were not perfect, but the potential and the out-of-universe information - no matter what you say - is there and had you waited it would have got into the article in time. If you actually took the time to help rather than spewing out constant stream of criticism and deletion notices you may get the progress you desire. You can't expect complete perfection straight up on first attempt. | |||
| If you looked at discussion pages more you may also notice plans for future articles: one of your main criticisms of the Protoss Empire page was that much of its plot summary was also in the Protoss page. If you had bothered to actually look around you would have discovered that we had plans to rehaul that article to focus on the Protoss as a species in an out-of-universe style but in similar fashion to the scientific article on humans - the plot details would have been removed and put into the Empire page for the exact reason you wanted to destroy the Empire article (but you never attempted to delete the articles which were merged to form the Empire page).

Hello there. If you haven't noticed, I kind of left. Just no longer amusing to edit WP any more, and I no longer have the password to this account. This is still here for posterity, though.

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Comics and Template:Infobox graphic novel
Hi,
I've mentioned the above wikiproject and template as well as a whole category of templates at:
which is a sort of workshop for an RfC (or multiple RfCs) concerning the whole issue of colour use, and wikiproject authority. I see you've been heavily involved in this and am letting you know; a few other interested parties, too. Cheers, Jack Merridew 22:37, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
p.s. I hope you're well; come on back, huh?
Orphaned non-free image File:MG2SSCodec.gif
Thanks for uploading File:MG2SSCodec.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
PLEASE NOTE:
- I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
- I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
- If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
- To opt out of these bot messages, add
{{bots|deny=DASHBot}}to your talk page. - If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.
Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
