Launceston

i used to live in Launceston - Launceston, Tasmania that is! My edits to the Launceston, Cornwall article were just formatting changes. -- Chuq 22:04, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well, I actually do live in Launceston, Cornwall - in fact I'm right behind the Lidl you took a photo of. That was a bit startling, seeing that place used to illustrate the company in general to the entire world. Applemask 00:22, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was a little startling to some of my friends when i showed it to them. I wasn't aware that there were any other regular Wikipedians in Launceston. :) -Benbread 19:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pot noodle

Hi Ben, I noticed you trying to get some work done, between an anon IP vandal and my reverting the Pot noodle article today, hope I didn't give you an edit conflict. I've 'vandalised' your user page with a [[Category:Wikipedians in Cornwall|Benbread]]. Please remove it if you don't want it. Alf ^melmac 14:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. Thanks for those reverts, it doesn't help that the people vandalising it were three computers away from me (I was editing at school). The person vandalising was only fooling around but it really does get annoying sometimes - Thanks though :) Also thanks for adding me to that category, I didn't know we had a category under that name so it'll be interesting to know who lives where --Benbread 15:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Einunddreissig.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Einunddreissig.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 27% for major edits and 50% for minor edits. (Based on the last 137 major and 14 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 17:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Launceston

Please don't take offence, but I have reverted your edit to Launceston, because according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Places, country names should be left unlinked. CarolGray 08:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, thanks. Wasn't aware of that particular guideline so i'll make sure in the future i wont do that again :) -Benbread 09:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KDE4 article

I see that you started the article on KDE4 and are the original author of the this claim - "KDE 4 will include major backend updates, including the port to Qt 4, which will result in an expected 20-30% performance increase". Can you cite a source for that percentage? Not that I don't believe it (I'm an occasional KDE user myself and looking forward to KDE4), but looking through the external links on the page doesn't reveal any specific percentage of speed increases. It would probably be more factual to simply remove the "20-30%" from the sentance, unless you can provide a source. Thanks! --Philipacamaniac 17:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Class of the Titans

Sorry about that, I was just responding to David John's question.

Not a problem, i felt quite bad actually about reverting that, but it seems for the best -Benbread 22:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your understanding.

How the hell am I vandalizing the 50 Cent page?

I sourced the text with a credible link. Quit calling it nonsense. If you want to add something to my text to give it some perspective then fine. However, don't call it vandalism when I have proof that he said what he said. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it vandalism.

You're most likely right, sorry. Please though cite your sources inside the article to avoid mixups. -Benbread 23:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also looking again at the source, it states noware that he called GWB a "nigga", for that i'm keeping that statement out of the article, unless you can provide an accurate quote. -Benbread 23:34, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted the 50 Cent article. I'm confident that it meets Wikipedia's high standards. Everything is well-sourced with independent and credible links.

That's much better, well done :) I hope you'll be editting Wikipedia in the future -Benbread 09:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the praise. I'm taking Wikipedia a lot more seriously now than I used to. I have to admit that a few months ago I did silly things like vandalize articles. I never really didn't anything slanderous, just silly and stupid stuff. Recently, I've been doing my best to contribute positively to Wikipedia and I've even been correcting the same sort of vandalism I used to take part in.

BTW, there's this dipshit (his name is LILVOKA) who keeps on deleting the article saying that I didn't cite my sources (which is a complete lie). He pretty much admitted to me that he doesn't LIKE what I posted so therefore that's grounds for deletion. I thought you weren't supposed to interject your POV into how you correct or type articles.

The choice to add information to challenge politcial views instead of music use it for the support, is bias, right? Is the user:24.35.15.107 using weasel words when describing 50 Cent. Please cite your sources. Thanks for your cooperation. Note: The rapper said that he would support Bush for the fact that this man is not a snitch. Despite of all the controversies the president gets into since he been in office, it's been tight-lipped, guns, vile and violence. Not saying politics but that's what 50 Cent meant. It's basically why he said what he said. It's pretty much irrelevent towards the article.LILVOKA. 23:34 5 June 2006 (UTC) See Here

This user used does express possible conservative bias. Here an example: - 50 Cent has also apparently shown support for U.S. President George W. Bush. -When 50 Cent was at the premiere of his semi-autobiographical film "Get Rich or Die Tryin", he stuck up for the president:

Listen up....I said "apparently" not to show bias but to do the opposite thing. "apparently" means, in this case, "from I what we can tell from his words". Also, the "stuck up for the president" line is in an article that shows no political bias whatsoever. I made a point of not using links from left-wing or right-wing websites.

BTW, I'll just keep re-posting it, LILVOKA. I've already had a Wikipedia watchdog (Benbread) say that what I posted passes as NPOV and acceptable for Wikipedia standards. You still haven't provided any proof that what I posted is false and un-true. All you do is say that you know that 50 Cent didn't mean it like that. How the hell do you know? Do you talk to him or something? As I said before, if you can post a credible link that says what you say he says then DO SO ALREADY. If you can't then back the fuck up.

Please be civil -- 9 cds^(talk) 05:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non sense warning

Hello. Why did you put a nonsense warning on my user talk page?--Dakota ~ 00:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, go ahead and remove it, but please put an edit summary with the sources to avoid any confusion :) -Benbread 18:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. --Cyde↔Weys 17:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Ukpassport-cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ukpassport-cover.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:09, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Pot Noodle

When I added [[simple:Pot Noodle]] to the article last night, that meant I was adding an interwiki link to the Simple English Wikipedia. Interwikis serve as links to WP articles in other languages, and are shown below the toolbox on the left side of articles that have them. Hope you've understood. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 15:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fridge

I personally deem this to be slightly unecessary as it is just an annex for two very cool sub zero cars and add a whole new section and disrupts the symetry on the cool wall section.--Lucy-marie 11:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you can get cooler than sub-zero.--Lucy-marie 18:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now you are just being silly with the wording and anyway sub zero would be cooler than absolute zero.--Lucy-marie 13:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree Image:Ukpassport-cover.jpg

Tagging system

I hadn't thought of a system like that, but it seems to me that it would be way too complex for most of our editors to handle, and would only serve to confuse the questioners even more. It would also be a huge project to devise such a system accurately, and I can't even think of how to go about that. Me, personally, I think that Physics & Astronomy is a broad category. Science is posively ginourmous. Thanks for your input. freshofftheufo ΓΛĿЌ 00:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:55, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ukpassport-cover.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Ukpassport-cover.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Urquhartnite (talk) 13:56, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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:Ukpassport-cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Ukpassport-cover.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) 05:05, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Signatureprogram.gif

The file File:Signatureprogram.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Since all this is about is some textual output, there's no reason to have an image. One can just add preformatted text to any article "needing" it, just as I did with signature program. Perhaps more importantly, the copyright status of this image is a bit dubious, in that---although we have no reason to doubt that it was the uploader's own work---it shows a component of Microsoft Windows (cmd.exe) for purposes other than illustrating the component itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
