SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 05:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!

For the barnstar - it's much appreciated. -Regards-KeptSouth (talk) 14:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, as well!

For the same reason as above. I'm happy that my incessant Palin/politics editing paid off; I feel like a Boy Scout getting a merit badge! Gamingexpert (talk) 07:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reviewer granted

 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC) Reply

Kelly, while I appreciate your attempt to help, you made some serious factual errors that led to conclusions that are inappropriate. It would be more productive if you took the time to research the issue before making such statements. Dylan Flaherty 06:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

weird problem

I have found out that an editor about whom I have made zero comments in an exceedingly long time has started making snarky comments claiming that I am somehow "following" him. I ain't. Heck, I make no posts about him on talk pages at all. Yet he somehow thinks that the fact I answer posted questions somehow makes me a problem for him (sigh). In any case, if you find such a post from another editor, rest ssured that I have not the slightest desire to "follow" anyone at all. Merci. Collect (talk) 14:57, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'll go ahead and make a template that directly refers to WP:EL rather than WP:SPAM. I've been putting it off because I havent been able to come up with a good name for it. --Ronz (talk) 01:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

If you must know..

Check my talk page history, if you can't follow that clue, I'll send you an email as well. I want to avoid any feeding, so I'm just keeping this under-wraps.— dαlus+ Contribs 08:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just joking, friend. I'm sure it's none of my business. Kelly hi! 08:25, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Kelly!

Thank you, Kelly. First of all for being a Clarence Darrow in my defense before the court of Magog the Ogre. And secondly for your kind words and good advice to me following the sentence and execution. I knew I was on thin ice yesterday, so I really can't complain. The worst thing about the block was not being able to thank you sooner. I'm happy the complete lockdown of the article to everyone was lifted fairly quickly -- I thought that went too far. Anyway, my block made me realize that I'm spending waaaay too much time wiki-editing, so I'm giving it a rest for a while. (If I knew how to give you a nice barnstar, I would). See you again sometime in the future (unless I grow up first)! God bless you! and Merry Christmas! --Kenatipo (talk) 16:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

File:Flag of New Milford, Connecticut.svg

I sent an email to the copyright holder, asking them to email OTRS. I thought I had the email saved in my inbox, but three years is a long time. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 09:40, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - I was just working my way through one of the PD categories. Kelly hi! 09:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
The speedy seems to have been removed by another user saying flags cannot be copyrighted. That is not true, but I am still going to get that email shortly (I hope). User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:12, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
No rush - plenty of other things to work on. :) Kelly hi! 18:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

File:Tate Genette.jpg and File:Genette Tate reconstruction.jpg‎

Hi I got the photographs from here - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-562233/The-minute-ruined-life--moment-best-friend-Genette-Tate-disappeared.html . The don't have the little copyright watermarks usually applied to images by the Daily Mail Online so i guessed that they were not copyrighted. It's not suprising that they are PD given that both photos were plastered on posters England-wide in the autum of 1978. One of the photos is from Genette's father and the other is from a police reconstruction. Paul Austin (talk) 09:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, unfortunately they're copyrighted, probably under Crown Copyright. To use them, you'd have to use of the non-free copyright tags. Kelly hi! 10:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem

Thanks for spreading copyright paranoia. I noticed that you have a fetish for licensing tags, but there is no proof that the file in not in the public domain. Harassment of Wikipedia contributors by editors with symptoms of terminal copyright paranoia is a major reason why I seldom contribute to Wikipedia.

Even if I did not create "this media" entirely myself, I feel no obligation to make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license nor would I send an email to wikimedia.org stating my ownership of the material, even if I did own it.

It should be obvious to anyone that I did not create "this media" entirely myself. The fact that your message to me includes mention of such possibilities shows that you like to dump a flood of useless information on the Wikipedians that you harrass...I wish you would stop harassing Wikiedians in this way and find something useful to do.

I refuse to use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use for an image that I believe to be in the public domain. I refuse to see Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags, but if there is a tag that says "stop copyright paranoia and harassment of Wikipedians" then please let me know...I'd be willing to use that "tag" on every Wikipedia page. Thank you.
