Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Global warming, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- TS 14:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Mostlyharmless. If you agree that nobody pushed anything in the article, could you please cross out your statement? Of course I did not mean your "oppose" I am very fine with it. Only the statement about pushing. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

VPC

You are being contacted because you have in the past participated in the Valued Picture project. The VPC project is suffering from a chronic lack of participation to the point that the project is at an impasse. A discussion is currently taking place about the future of this project and how to revitalize the project and participation. If you're interested in this project or have an idea of how to improve it please stop by and participate in the discussion.

Arctic shrinkage article

Hi Mostlyharmless. I've suggested a name change on the talk page for the article Arctic Shrinkage. Since you have edited the article and also have commented on the topic of the title in the past, I'm hoping to solicit your thoughts about this proposed name change on that talk page, if you get a chance. Note that I am proposing that the article should be renamed to "Arctic warming", since the term "Arctic shrinkage" seems to have been coined by wikipedia, is not in common usage outside of wikipedia, and is a bit confusing. Thanks, --Abc-mn-xyz (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Community input required: lowering delist bar at FPC

You are receiving this because of your current or past association with the Featured Pictures project. Following on from several cases where closers did not observe the prescribed minimum votes required for a delisting, there is now a motion to entirely dismiss the requirement for a minimum. Please participate in the discussion as wide-ranging changes may arise.

Not a "Black Power salute"

In August 2008, in the talk page, you pointed out that the wiki article 1968 Olympics Black Power salute that the article was incorrectly attributed to Black Power and that the article should be renamed. You currently have the opportunity to vote in favor changing the articles name to something that supports the actual intentions of John Carlos and Tommie Smith.

Non-free rationale for File:Woodenhead.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Woodenhead.jpg. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:18, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Algerian Civil War

Hi, I am coming from the German Misplaced Pages and was interested in that article, because I was curious what the often more neutral and open minded en-WP would say about it. Much to my surprise, I deem it not to be very satisfying, to put it extremely moderate. I have studied this conflict quite a bit and was not amused how some users nearly seem to fight to keep out any reference to, lets call it involvement of the government in dirty activities, under the pretense of the term "conspiracy theory". I saw that you tried to get in some of those aspects, obviously not with much successs. I thought about writing down a small 'essay' making some points for more extensive coverage of these allegations on the talk page, but wanted to ask beforehand if this might be a waste of time anyway... 217.7.150.122 (talk) 12:36, 21 October 2013 (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.

Orphaned non-free image File:AIUSA logo.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:AIUSA logo.PNG. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
