Images

Hi. If you think an image should be removed from an article or is inappropriate, it's a good idea to explain why on the talk page. Rather than just removing the link to an inappropriate image from an article, list it on Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion (or, depending on the case, related pages as appropriate such as Misplaced Pages:Copyright problems or Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree images). Cheers, -- Infrogmation 23:36, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

On the Catholic Church of Misplaced Pages

As you have described yourself as a Catholic, I thought I would alert you as a co-religionist to your opportunity to delete the particularly offensive article, Misplaced Pages:Catholic Church of Misplaced Pages.--Thomas Aquinas 22:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

A Message to Pro-Life Wikipedians

The section "Foetal Pain" (Fetal Pain) has been deleted from the Abortion article. Could you help restore it? If you would like to see what was deleted, go to my talk page, scroll to "Fetal Pain," and click the provided link.--Thomas Aquinas 22:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Jesus

Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 22:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Pro-life Alliance

The article Pro-Life Alliance has been nominated for deletion. Chooserr

Gay rights in Iraq

You listed yourself as Roman Catholic so I thought I might bring this unencyclopedic total POV pushing article to your attention. It is currently up for deletion here. Chooserr 05:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Ham Radio!

Please see the discussion at Category talk:Amateur Radio Operator for a discussion on how to identify Hams and Ham personalities on Misplaced Pages. Steve Kd4ttc 02:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Societal attitudes towards homosexuality

Hey, thanks for retitling the section in Societal attitudes towards homosexuality. Its still not perfect, but its a lot better than the one I came up with. -Seth Mahoney 02:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit to South dakota abortion law controversy was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Misplaced Pages articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

DU link on Freerepublic page

Are you going to add one? greyleonard 11:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove cited content

It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Daisy chain. Please be careful not to remove content from Misplaced Pages without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you.

Userbox Public Transit

According to Misplaced Pages:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Anti-gay slogan

I edited your contribution to anti-gay slogan. I don't think it lost any of its original meaning, but you might want to check. As per my comments on Talk:Anti-gay slogan, it is not clear given your parenthetical statement how you see normatives to differ significantly from natural law, so I removed that and restructured the sentence. If you think it is important to return that removed bit, you might consider being more clear and citing it to a philosopher or church scholar. Additionally, if you are making a claim about the belief structure of the Catholic Church, you need to cite a statement by the Catholic Church where some church official or a church scholar makes that claim. See WP:CITE and WP:RS if in doubt about a given source's applicability. -Smahoney 04:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Minnesota meetup

A meetup of Wikipedians in Minnesota is proposed: please stop by the discussion page if interested. Jonathunder 23:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Reminder: Meetup October 29, one o'clock, Mall of America. Jonathunder 15:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Ladispoli-Stemma.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. -- 13:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg

Thanks for uploading Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 21:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Homofascism

Homofascism, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Homofascism satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and the Misplaced Pages deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Homofascism and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Homofascism during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Avruch 05:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Disruptive edits

You appear to be engaged in an edit war. Please stop reverting without joining the discussion page. The person with whom you are engaged in the edit war HAS started talk page discussion. Please, wikipedia works through community collaboration, and when you make controversial edits without discussing them, it is not productive.

Also, you are abusing popups. It is never appropriate to use popup reverting to revert good faith edits.-Andrew c  15:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I came here to say much the same thing. Jake, please discuss the issue on the Abortion-related violence talk page. It would be greatly appreciated. If you can find reliable sources, then there isn't much to argue about. Until that time, the material is inappropriate for the article as it constitutes an unreliable/OR contribution. Phyesalis (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

KSirtet

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article KSirtet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? B. Wolterding (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of KSirtet

An article that you have been involved in editing, KSirtet, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/KSirtet. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? B. Wolterding (talk) 19:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Scholastica logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Scholastica logo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Misplaced Pages's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 04:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
