Thanks for uploading Image:Moffatsandown74.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. -- Carnildo 16:45, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job on the Paul Wade article. --Zpb52 06:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, not a bad article, and good to see another prominent Socceroo and South Melbourne player get a page.

Hello, I don't mean to intrude, and if you don't wish to respond to my comment, that is entirely your right. However, please be aware that Wikipedia administrators and non-administrators alike are your allies in editing the encyclopedia, and it is always a good idea to treat other users in a respectful and open-minded manner, not dismissing them based on their status, even if you disagree with them or find their manner abrasive. Just a tip for future reference; if you're interested in further reading, see WP:AGF, WP:CIVIL, WP:EQ, and other important pages. Seeya 'round. -Silence 05:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Clemens Westerhof, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your efforts! ++Lar: t/c 05:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I noticed that you've done some work on the Australian ice hockey articles. I just wanted to stop by and let you know I've added the
{{ice hockey}} --(curly brackets with 'ice hockey' inside)
tag onto the talk pages of the articles I found. We're working to include ice hockey around the world !! Please drop by and see us, we'd love your help!! THANKS.

Hello, a user has decided that he does not want us placing hockey stubs on Wikipedia to expand later into teams. In particular he doesn't like Junior teams... I was wondering if you could please voice your opinion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks DMighton 02:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a quick question. Where abouts did you find those old logos for rugby league clubs, such as and ? If you have the website that could be really useful for others to use in the future. Cheers, --mdmanser 03:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greg, I've undone the redirect you created here and changed Whiskey Au Go Go into a redirect to Whiskey Au Go Go fire. As I read it the article is about the fire not primarily about the nightclub so the original name is correct. Also, if you want to rename an article.... please use the move tab as this preserves the edit history and automatically creates the redirect.. Happy editing Peripitus (Talk) 22:46, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I very much enjoyed reading the updated Ben Lexcen article. Very well done. Boatman 07:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greg. I noticed you had created a few articles for red links I once added. I've listed 4 of your articles at Wikipedia:New articles (Australia) to help to alert fellow Australians to the new articles in case they have more info to add. If you create any more Australia-related articles, you might like to list them there, too. Thanks for the contributions. --Scott Davis ^Talk 08:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - thanks for your additions to F1 articles. Are you sure about Karl Wendlinger being classified 20th at the 1991 Aussie GP? www.formula1.com has him as retired, although I am aware that that sites contains a number of errors. Cheers. --4u1e 07:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly certain he didn't officially retire although I'm basing that information on the other articles I found at Wikipedia related to the subject. I might very well be wrong. Greg the White Falcon 04:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Falcon-BA-XR.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --– Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 21:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level.

The article Senior League Hockey has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. J Milburn 10:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greg Could you please incorporate references into your race stubs? Every race and venue is well covered by the media so if you can find a decent reference it should be easy to drop two references in at the time you create articles, that way they meet the requirements of WP:V from the word go.

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).

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RubberCityRebels_1980.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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.

Thank you for uploading Image:PossumBourne.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

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 description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Issue II - May 2008

From the editor: Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May. The Ohio Portal The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images. Selected Article: Indian Head Rock There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it. With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value. After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river. Billy Massie Article Assessment Reedy Bot and ShepBot are currently hard at work tagging all of the Ohio articles. We may need to have an assessment drive when the bots are finished. Think of it as a late spring cleaning. Please note your opinions on the project talkpage if you would be interested in helping!

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve-Saleen.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 17:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Greg the White Falcon! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 99 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Steve Saleen - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Kevin Bartlett (race driver) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Tony Longhurst - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
4. Ed Ordynski - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks for uploading File:Logo Toledo Storm XV.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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 16:38, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
