Orphaned non-free media (Image:BitTorrent logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:BitTorrent logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Windows Vista

Hello Mr. Dot, hope you're doing well! Could you swing by the talk page for Windows Vista and have a look at our recent work on the final paragraph for the lead section of the article? You're probably aware that it's a bit contentious, so I'd like you to have a look at it and see if we've come up with something that you think is satisfactory and strikes the right tone within the context of the article's lead. Thanks. :-) -/- Warren 22:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:1998 Gen Con Game Fair logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:1998 Gen Con Game Fair logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 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 non-free media 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. Ricky81682 (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Whitespace

Whoops, I was using 2 newline characters instead of 1. Did I get it right in Template:C-ADOD? MBisanz ^talk 16:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:199982.3.png

Thanks for uploading Image:199982.3.png. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Image:ΜTorrent_icon.png

I have tagged Image:ΜTorrent_icon.png as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Image:Line-height.gif

OK, you've made your point. But I am thouroughly not amused by this action... If you had seen the history, I caught considerable flack for this image by account of it having "copyrightable content" (namely, some IE icons). So while I may seem touchy on this subject, understand that that ordeal caused me a minor trauma. Beside the point that I feel this action is pointless, it only casues extra work for me by having to re-watchlist it again etcetera... I also see no benefit to the project in converting this particular image for the sake of a few kilobutes... especially when it doesn't concern article images. Please delete the PNG version and withdraw the IfD. — Edokter • Talk • 22:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Interwiki languages

Hi. I think the languages are supposed to be sorted on their names in their own language. Not on their 2-letters ISO codes. eg. Suomi should be under the S not on the F. Japanese is Nihongo -> N. etc... So I think you are the one who just screwed it up here. :-) --Fenring (talk) 22:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. I see your point and I've changed it back. Is there a tool that puts these in the "correct" order automatically? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 03:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

No. sorry --Fenring (talk) 08:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Spell check

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried to download it, and of course the computer won't do anything to make it easy for me. :/ Also, I usually know how to spell correctly, but the problem is sometimes that I want to write the edit summary extra-quick so I don't hit an edit conflict. So, I guess I'm just going to have to preview my edit summary to avoid mkistakes. Thanks, Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 13:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

That's too bad. What problem did you run into when you tried to download Firefox? It's always been very straightforward for me... —Remember the dot ^(talk) 22:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I tried it a while ago, so I don't remember exactly the problem I had. Also, I was going to try it again recently but because I'm on my parents computer when I edit most of the time, they don't want the computer clogged up with programs. Thank you for trying to help.

Hey

[1] -> Anything I need to change to get this into my monobook.css? --soum ^talk 19:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. It seems to work fine for me. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I like these colors better. --soum ^talk 19:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Btw, how can I force the references-small class to always display the references in a single column, overriding the per-article setting? --soum ^talk 19:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think you can without JavaScript because the column-count is set via a style attribute instead of a stylesheet. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 20:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh OK, I never understood this CSS thing. Thanks, anyways. --soum ^talk 07:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Please read [2]. It was removed not due to any technical problems, but rather due to a major potential for abuse that is left unchecked. krimpet✽ 18:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete Template:Book cover?

You don't seem to provide any rationale. The redirect seemed useful (I reached this myself and was going to (re)create it before I saw the deletion history note. What other use could a template for a book cover have? Free covers wouldn't need such a template. Richard001 (talk) 04:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll admit that I should have left a better deletion summary. I deleted the redirect because it was unused and doesn't start with the required "Non-free" prefix, see Wikipedia:Non-free content/templates. Book covers that are about 100 years old or so are actually in the public domain, so a public domain template should be used instead. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 05:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
