RE:Image:Yukmouth.jpg

Thanks, sorry that was my fault. I was on a vandal-fighting role last night and probably just flew over it without checking the time. Still getting used to WP:TWINKLE haha. Thanks for catching my error. Good lcuk editing!

Hi Feydey,

I am new to Wikipedia and have just posted my first article. I am trying to meet all the guidelines and requirements that Wikipedia has. I see that you are quite knowledgeable on using Wikipedia and contributed a lot to many different articles. I would appreciate if you could take a look at my article and provide me with any tips or changes that I need in my article - 10.5" Corporate 14 Bolt Differential.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Belanva Cocktail.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Belanva Cocktail.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Featured picture for History Portal

I asked for suggestions for November, posted my own on the Suggest page and the talk page for the portal, and posted a discussion on the subject. You have not offered any collaboration efforts, or said word one, only reverted with an invisible hand. This is not the way to encourage participation, or in the spirit of Wikipedia. Monsieurdl 00:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the revert, I added the image to Portal:History/Featured picture/February, 2008. Best, feydey 00:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Protection on History Portal / FA

Good call on that, I believe. For some reason, this portal seems to attract vandals. Best regards, Hult041956 18:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Don't fucking tell me what to do jackass. If you actually care that much about protecting Wikipedia, you must honestly have no life. I'm guessing it varies between writing articles for Wikipedia and jerking off to midget porn (in your parents basement). Have a nice day shithead. You will never be successful at anything, ever.

If you think of anything you're good at let me know, I'm dying to hear (It can't be being good at deleting wikipedia articles).

Sincerely,

Your lover Weerez1214 (talk) 19:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

your mum's a turtle

with the article your mum's a turtle, it was flagged for deletion but the claim had been disputed and it said that the article had 5 days in which it could be fixed which would be the 11/24 and today being the 11/19. as im fairly new to wikipedia can you go through with us why the article was deleted anyway (Ford freak (talk) 08:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC))

It was speedy deleted per WP:CSD#A7 (speedy deletion policy specifies the limited cases where administrators may delete Wikipedia pages or media without discussion). feydey (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

wiki entry for "Caro"

Hello,

I was curious why the business CaroNet was removed from the wiki entry of "Caro". The placement of this link seemed appropriate, as there were other products or organizations listed in the same section. Please note the following:

Caro Instant Beverage, a drink by Nestlé
CARO, The Computer AntiVirus Researcher's Organization

Finally, how can this information be presented in such as fashion that it will not be removed again in the future? Thank you for your input and assistance. Take care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caronet (talk • contribs) 18:53, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Novels updates

Hi, as we are coming up to the end of the month (again) any additions to the newsletter etc would be most welcome.

Also I have setup a "Job Centre" page for the project Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/JobCentre. I thought you might like to have a look before we published it's existence and promoted it. What do you think? :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 14:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

You might not know but Grafikm_fr (Grafikbot) has resigned as "Newsletter distributor" . In fact I believe he has resigned from all other project distributions as well. I will endeavor to do the distribution this month (using AWB) and see what type of a task it is. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 15:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

A big hit - but hopefully we can weather the storm and grow stronger. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 15:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll think I will go on and give it a go to see how hard / easy it is first and we can go from there. Might be early next week before I get a chance. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I can volunteer for an "Admin tasks"

Go for it - pick one (or more) whatever you think you can handle. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 15:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, "Admin tasks" I'm not one so I just didn't think of them. If you are more aware of them could you set such a section up in this page. Thanks :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 15:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/Newsletter December 2007

If you are able to "sanity check" for spelling etc the newsletter then I can have a go at sending out. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 10:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you and the others who helped improve and get Portal:France "featured portal" status. Thanks - NYArtsnWords (talk) 00:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

CW Now Image

I saw the comment you left about the image, abd tried to learn how to fix it with the rationale. I did in fact fix it, could you please check to see if it was done correctly? Thanks! --Yankeesrj12 (talk) 23:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:Andreas Papandreou.jpg

Hello Feydey, I saw you deleted the above image and I would like to ask why it was deleted. It had a proper fair use rationale and I got no courtesy deletion warning. I can't even find any deletion records but maybe you can give me the details. Where did the fair use rationale I provided fail? The only reason I know about it, is from this diff. Thanks. Dr.K. (talk) 01:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks Feydey for your great courtesy to restore it. I really appreciate that. I'll see what I can do with its rationale. If I don't succeed I'll let you know. I already uploaded one from a newspaper. Let's see if that goes well. Thanks for the suggestion on my talk page. I'll try to fix it. Best of the season. Take care. Dr.K.
