Need your advice

Hey there Junglecat, if you have time could you visit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of shopping malls in Houston, Texas? I'm not asking for your vote, just a sanity check! Am I wrong here? Thanks again for your help! Postoak 22:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...thank you for your participation. I withdrew with 83 supports, 42 opposes, and 8 neutrals. Your kind words and constructive criticism are very much appreciated. I look forward to using the knowledge I have accrued through the process to better the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers and Wikidudeman for their co-nominations.

Thank you again and, best regards. VanTucky ^Talk

Thanks for your vote

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (53/0/1).

As a token of my appreciation, please accept this bowl of tzatziki.

I feel honored to be trusted by so many of you. Wikipedia is such a large community, that my acceptance in the face of such large numbers truly is humbling. I will use my new tools to continue the tasks for which you entrusted them to me.

OhanaUnited's RFA

.:

Thank you!

:.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA.

To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Wikipedia as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind."

Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC) [reply]

RfA thanks

Thanks for commenting in my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I know you have concerns about me as an administrator, and I certainly invite you to keep an eye on my work and bring any problems you see to my attention. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thank-spam

Junglecat, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg. 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 Wikipedia'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.

Images for deletion

Thanks for the tip, I added some of your stuff. You better give a fair use rationale like I did here, otherwise they start complaining again. Good luck, and we better keep on eye on this guy. - Mafia Expert (talk) 23:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did, I used the template you had added. Did you see INTGAFW's comment here? Apparently, this fellow Damiens.rf has a history of slapping IfD templates rather than doing the checking on the correct rationale if warranted. His deletion reasoning has me concerned for other images of magazine covers. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 01:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rolling meth lab article

Hi. I de-orphaned your Rolling meth lab article. Are you going to create a DYK entry for it? -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 05:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would you nominate it for me? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 18:19, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--Dravecky (talk) 19:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on that! It's a funny coincidence: I was just looking for information on these things a couple days ago and couldn't find what I was looking for on Wikipedia (they're a nasty and growing problem, including near where I live, and I just saw something on TV about it) -- and then here it is, a new article by you, just what I was looking for. All the best, Antandrus (talk) 00:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Antandrus! It’s always good to hear from you. On this one, we both agree. I have been hearing about these too for a while. I want to look into some possible sources I have to hopefully expand this article. This subject is a growing problem that the general public needs to know about for sure. I now wonder, how many times I have come across a trash bag on the side of the road (walking, biking, or riding with someone on a country road), and the bag was the remnants of a lab? Ugh! or Yikes!... You take care! JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 01:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone is "borrowing" your picture without attribution... Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 20:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad… actually that’s kinda cool! I released that one into the public domain quite a while back, so photo-wise they do not have to acknowledge my acct unless they want to. They did give credit to Wikipedia.org however which is OK. Another thing that is to me kinda ironic, that exact same make and model shortwave radio was in my possession many years back during the Reagan years (this one I acquired a few years ago, the original my cousin has now). I used to be able to hear Numbers stations on the thing and I never thought back then that it was a communication between governments and spies. How ironic that this same type of analog shortwave receiver photo was selected for the article. He he… Like I said, not bad. ;-) JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 00:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! It is good to hear from you. The photo is an awesome one that helps me think of our loss that day which will not be forgotten. Wow, 8 years seems like yesterday. Someone slow that clock down please! And my thought on the matter - Our enemies will not prosper; I am a man of faith. I think I will leave my page as-is for the time being. Changing subjects - I want to get more into my photography contributions to the project. I have a bunch of photos on my PC I need to review and consider submitting over at Commons. Right now I am really busy (I know, said that before), but maybe I will get an opportunity to post some more there real soon. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 03:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:TexasHistComm.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TexasHistComm.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia 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. —GFOLEY FOUR— 03:14, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:50, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Motiva Enterprises LLC logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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) 17:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's Go Brandon

Great work! Why do you even need to go through AfC? I'd advise you to be BOLD and post this to the mainspace straight away (maybe after the RfD is done so as not to disrupt the process though). But there's definitely encyclopedic merit here. Let's go!!! Kingoflettuce (talk) 01:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What a difference a month makes - I'd have agreed with the consensus at the F Biden AfD in September! & more sources will continue to emerge Kingoflettuce (talk) 01:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I meant to send the above to GlobGenie. Assumed you were the main contributor but obviously you've been here for a while :P Kingoflettuce (talk) 01:38, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Polemic marriage userbox

As you well know, that userbox was deleted in an MfD last year (Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:UBX/onemanonewoman_4th_nomination) where the closer stated "Consensus is quite clear ... that these templates ... violate the guideline on userbox content restrictions (WP:UBCR) because they are "inflammatory or divisive" and "propaganda [or] advocacy", as prohibited by that guideline."

Therefore, recreating it by stealth on your userpage is seriously not a good idea for multiple reasons, and I have removed it. Furthermore, re-creating it again (by whatever means) will certainly result in a sanction. Thank you, Black Kite (talk) 09:30, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bother fighting it. You'll only end up being blocked/banned. GoodDay (talk) 00:25, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
Update your signature to fix the error.
Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
