Why would this image be eligible for copyrights? The typeface doesn't look creative or bold enough to pass threshold of originality here. The eye icon is not copyrightable, as evident in the CBS logo page. --George Ho (talk) 03:17, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I reinserted the tag is because there is a gloss effect, which IMHO (not sure about what the American courts think), I'm not really sure if it is eligible for copyright. I know the eye icon isn't eligible. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 12:36, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation is backlogged and needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately in need of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors and administrators alike, to help us clear a record backlog of pending submissions. There is currently a significant backlog of 1281 submissions waiting to be reviewed. These submissions are generally from new editors who have never edited Wikipedia before. A prompt, constructive review of submissions could significantly editor retention. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you (at least) autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. Click here to review to a random submissionArticle selected by erwin85's random article script on toolserver. We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 1 or 2 reviews, would be extremely beneficial.

I'm curious as to why you edited [1] to restore the visibility of the (useless) most recent version of the template before it was deleted? Anomie⚔ 21:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because there was no consensus to blank it. I did leave the historical template though. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 21:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd hoped you had a better reason than that. But as long as no one tries to <noinclude> the historical notice, I don't care enough to argue about it. Anomie⚔ 21:31, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit - please note that this is a Google Books copy of an issue of Popular Mechanics. PM is indeed a reliable source, and links to it, Popular Science, and other books and magazines that are reliable sources are to be encouraged as adding to the reliable verifiability of Wikipedia, not removed. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 17:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, please use "subst" when placing warning templates on user talk pages. See WP:WARN for more details. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:22, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Editing dispute involving user at Talk:Minecraft. Thank you. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 18:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove captions from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted, although you have now excessively reverted to restore it. Please explain why you have repeatedly deleted the image captions relating to an image you are seeking to have deleted? There is no valid rationale for doing so, and such an action only impairs the effectiveness of the image. I would ask that you self-revert your actions. Thank you. ' Ckatz^chat_spy 20:23, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because that was the instructions at Template:Ffd. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 20:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see your error. The instructions direct you to add the ffd template, not to strip out the caption. Please restore the caption ASAP or acknowledge here so that I can do it. --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 20:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

C3,

Please do not make any redirects or merges of the Imdb template while the discussion is ongoing. I explicitly said I was only ok with a merge if there was a way to still show the imdb text, and I see no evidence that you did that (to be fair, I don't know much about template making, but the documentation said nothing). And just because I'm okay, doesn't mean other users are. Please wait for the discussion to take its course. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 21:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this article's listed sources may not be reliable. It includes attribution to IMDb, which may not be a reliable source for information. Please help improve this article by looking for better, more reliable sources. Unreliable citations may be challenged and removed. (Learn how and when to remove this message)

Proof. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 21:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, then, do the 4,000 articles that previously used the imdb template include this text, or did you just redirect it, therefore losing this important information? Also, just because I'm okay with it (assuming that it works and no information is lost), doesn't mean other users will be okay with it, so you need to wait until discussion is completed. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 21:56, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would just say to wait until the discussion is over before we merge it. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 21:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 Wikipedia 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.
