I brought up your edits at WP:ANI. Feel free to give some reasoning for your edits there. IrishGuy 02:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Nab.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Nab.JPG. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 02:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi Blueking12, sorry to say this, but your request for adminship has almost no chance of succeeding. As you have only 60 edits there is not enough evidence for us to judge how well you know Misplaced Pages's policies and whether you have the right temperament to fairly apply them. I suggest you get at least 2500 edits over several months before trying an editor review. This is usually considered the minimum experience required to become an editor. May I suggest you withdraw your RfA for now, since it is likely to get many opposes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Gwernol 01:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA 2

I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you have less than 100 edits to the Misplaced Pages mainspace; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! Enigma 02:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Adoption?

Hi, I see you are seeking to be "adopted" - if that is the case, then: docboat (talk) 12:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

This user has been offered adoption by Docboat. (If you wish adoption by another user click here)

Let me know if you want to accept the offer. I do not have that much time these days, but I will watch your page and be ready to help. docboat (talk) 00:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching request status

You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >1,750 edits & 4 months of activity) on Misplaced Pages before you can know for certain your ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. Therefore, at this time, your application for Admin Coaching has been declined.}} My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Malinaccier (talk) 23:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

A more personal suggestion would be to get an adopter and work hard to graduate. Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 23:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

• And in fact I have offered adoption, but since that time he has shown no more interest in editing. The offer stands - leave a message for me on the talk page if you seriously want to develop in Misplaced Pages. docboat (talk) 12:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

And no further contributions since 24th May 2008. I assume either too busy in real life, or lost interest in the project. If you are serious about adoption and working more on Misplaced Pages, do let me know. In the meantime I shall "unwatch" your page. Be happy! docboat (talk) 05:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Your Clown Picture

You clown picture, found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Al_clown_2006.jpg is admittedly a humourous photo, but it really had no business showing up as a Canadian MP's photo. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Gerry_Ritz&oldid=245446287). This type of behaviour will be looked upon unfavourably if you are seeking adminship. Cheers, Coolth 15 Oct 2008

Protection templates

Please do not misuse protection templates, as you have done to your talk page. The protection templates have been removed. See WP:PROTECT for more information. — ThreeDee912(/_contribs) 02:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Again, please do not misuse protection templates. I reverted back the page to restore my comment, and remove the improper template. Placing a protection template on a page does not automatically protect a it, and you should not use the template unless the page is actually protected. If you wish to request page protection, please see WP:RPP — ThreeDee912(/_contribs) 23:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
