File:Scrumshustalk.png Table o' Contents Guidelines Welcome to my talkpage! I'd love to hear any suggestions, news, or anything you have to say to make you and I better Wikipedians. But before you type away, please read over the guidelines so that you can reach me in the most effective way. Thanx! Please sign all of your comments. If you forget to sign a comment, please go back and give your comment a signature so that I'll know who contacted me and so I can get back to you. Please keep all conversations civil. It doesn't matter what you want to say, no burning, personal flaming, or any kind of name-calling and acting rude and uncivil won't get you point across any further. So please, for the good of the conversation and to keep our attitudes likable, act civil. If you are starting a new section, please use the [ + ] tab next to the edit tab (if using Monobook skin) or simply click here to get started. Before you hit [Save page] click the [Show preview] button so you can check for any errors you may have made in conventional editing and make sure everything looks right so you'll get your message across in the most convenient way. Suggestions for my personal improvment as a Wikipedian are always welcome, as it's the only way I'll learn. Archives Archive 1 Wikifun Over the course of my Wiki-life, I'm going to introduce some riddles and games users can win barnstars for if they succeed. I figured it would be a good way to make Wiki-friends, so why not try it out? This month's riddle... What goes around the world and stays in a corner? Riddles are updated everytime a discussion gets archived

Since you're the most knowledgable person on Wikipedia i know, could you help me with a problem? On my userpage, around the Signpost and Award sections on the righthand side, the links seem not to work and occasionally some random pixel will lead my to a random page, most often Punk rock, Cancer (astrology), The Simpsons, and my emailuser page. Can you help me fix/figure out the problem and what's causing it? Thanx, Ṣ₡ЯՄ♏ʂɧ♆☭ ^{♲ recycle kids! omg i'm ur biggest fan...➤} 22:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not really sure where the problem could be; it looked fine to me. However, you signature is way, way too long and excessively colorful. Please see Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing your signature. -- tariqabjotu 22:42, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your current signature is missing a few closing tags and is breaking the syntax of some talk pages. Could you please go through and check for any missing tags, I'm pretty sure you're missing a tag at the end. Many thanks, Extranet ^talk 03:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Scrumshus. An automated process has found and removed an image tagged as a nonfree image, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:01 911 For Peace.ogg) was found at the following location: User:Scrumshus/Random project. This image was removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image to replace it with.

Ok, I checked them out and it seems like they're working. They aren't properly formatted though (and neither are the Green Day ones which I have been slowly fixing). However, there is a website that will format them for you, just need to add the <ref name=> part. It's at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/makeref.php and it is very useful for properly formatting citations. Hope that helps!  Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 01:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Working_Class_Hero.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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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 08:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please fix your signature, I just fixed the WP:BDC talk page after that monstrosity, and remember that being flashy on Wikipedia (your sig, user and talk) is more of a sign of unprofessionalism then anything else. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 07:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have tagged Image:01_911_For_Peace.ogg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Hi. I noticed that you are interested in Green Day, so I invite you to read my proposal to change nimrod. to Nimrod, at Talk:Green Day#Capital on Nimrod. I think there's no reason not to change it, but I have been waiting for responses due to the note at the top of the talk page about the capitalization. I appreciate any comments. Thanks. - Jon Stockton 13:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

It has to do with Green Day. If you want to help, please leave me a message. Well, I'll just tell you what it's about. About three days ago, I entirely revamped the Dookie article, and got it to GA level the next day. I need your help to get it to FA sooner or later. So, want to help? I really don't know what to do to make it better, and I need some outside opinions. Xihix 16:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:I Fought The Law.ogg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
