I pressed the button on Twinkle and accidentally nudged the mouse wheel at the same time. My bad... -- Roleplayer (talk) 23:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. Ok, but in December 2006, the exact same images were removed for copyright violations. In fact, the discussion page of Wat Phra Dhammakaya under Philotai, you can still see the discussion on the images.Suredeath (talk) 02:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm kinda assuming that IF the images hosted are news clipping (which they were) and not authorized by the news agency (which there were not), it is copyright violation.Suredeath (talk) 03:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The articles are published apologies from the various newspapers. Would a better solution be to translate a summary of what the content of those newspaper articles say (but in English) while giving the refs to the day and date of the newspapers in question? BTW I didn't upload those scans - but they are valid history Thanissaro (talk) 07:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)!

Yes, it is debatable whether Thai newspapers are reliable sources (that would make an interesting Wikipedia article in itself) but in this case the articles published were required by law, so they are definitely reliable. Thanissaro (talk) 08:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip H. Farber (2nd nomination). I always seem to make mistakes when it's a second or third nom for an article. Cheers, Pigman☿ 00:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi KTC/Archive 4! Thank you for your support in my RfA (87/3/3). I truely appreciate the many votes of confidence, and I will exert myself to live up to those expectations. Thanks again! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, KTC;

I'm sorry, but I didn't have a great deal of time lately to just sit down and work. I'll go through shortly and make sure that the taxoboxes and categorization of the new fossil animal articles are up to snuff. J. Spencer (talk) 22:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey KTC! I'm sure you had good intentions, but a quick search would have revealed that Sufiah Yusof did attend SOAS - it's been all over the news in the last few days. Poeloq (talk) 23:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Butler Elementary School (Arlington, Texas), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 15:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hallo, there are two articles about David Broome (equestrian). The main one here David Broome and the one someone started in February 2008 David Broome (disambiguation). David Broome (disambiguation) needs to be deleted, as it's the same page just shortened. Thanks - Culnacréann-(talk) 23:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry given the amount of info out there in English there should be enough info all around to ensure most of them are expanded beyond a stub. Once filled out they will make useful additions ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I have proposed a merger of the articles for the three middle schools of the Palo Alto Unified School District into the main article for the district. Discussion is here. I'm notifying everyone who was involved in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 14:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi KTC; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Feel free to correct any future inaccuracies as well. Ral315 (talk) 07:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi KTC: Thanks for closing the RFD on Blargg. Would you like to close the RFD on Blarg with one g too, as its nomination has been withdrawn, so we can close the whole subject and remove RFD tag from that one too? Thanks! PamD (talk) 20:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. PamD (talk) 20:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your interesting edit. I have adjusted it slightly because what you had written reflected accurately the headlines of the source story, but the headlines didn't quite reflect the quotes from Ballard himself. This was not your fault: it was just a "come-on" trick by the paper's subs (sorry for the pun in this context!). All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

just wanted to mention that the whitehouse website is most likely  not copyrighted, because works created by the u.s. government are generally not protected. that having been said, there are exceptions (for example, work produced by a private contractor and licensed to the Government), and i still think you made the right decision (for NPOV reasons). 69.140.152.55 (talk) 22:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

		The Articles for Creation Barnstar
		For creating a bucket of new articles for AFC on 28 May 2008, I award you this well deserved barnstar -- ShinmaWa(talk) 05:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!! --Npnunda (talk) 01:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm trying to add it but I think I'm doing it wrong?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Npnunda (talk • contribs) 01:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I got it to work. Thanks for all your help!! --Npnunda (talk) 01:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I didnt add that reference, someone else put that there. thanks, though!!Y5nthon5a (talk) 02:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, KTC, for participating in my recent RfA, which recently passed with 81 support and 1 neutral !votes. I appreciate all the support and constructive criticism offered in my RfA and I thank you for taking the time to !vote in my nomination. I feel so honoured to be trusted by so many of you and please, if you have any advice, comments or complaints about my actions as an administrator, leave a note on my talk page. I would also like to thank Acalamari, Rlevse and Nishkid64, for their nomination statements. Thank you again. AngelOfSadness talk 23:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 03:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello! As per your request I've removed your sysop permission on Meta. Thanks for all your hard work with the board elections. :) Kylu (talk) 03:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for volunteering for the Wikimedia UK v2.0 board. We've made a page for candidate statements, so please add yours here, and sign the declaration (it's quite long and scary-looking, I know, but being on a board is a serious thing!). The proposed deadline for statements is 13 September, but we'll make a final deadline soon. Good luck! --Tango (talk) 02:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for putting yourself forward for election to the Board of Wikimedia UK v2.0. Candidate statements are being accepted here. Please could you also confirm that you agree with the declaration here. Thanks AndrewRT(Talk) 23:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

A warm hello to all those signed up as guarantor members of the soon-to-be-rebooted UK chapter! Voting is now open over at meta - there's tons of information online over there, and the mailing list has been very active too. Discussion, comment (and even the inevitable technical gremlins!) are most welcome at the meta pages, otherwise please do send in your vote/s, and tell a friend about the chapter too :-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)I'm not actually involved in the election workings, and am just dropping these notes in to help try and spread the word :-) I welcome any or all comment too, but 'election related' stuff really is better suited to the meta pages :-)

Hi you signed up as being interested in being a memeber of wikimedia UK 2.0. Just a reminder the that the vote for the inital board at m:Wikimedia UK v2.0/Vote ends next Saturday (September 25th).Geni 03:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Following your participation the other Sunday, you may be interested to know that London 14 is scheduled for Sunday October 12 incase you weren't already aware. Best, WilliamH (talk) 11:28, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kylie Showgirl.jpg. 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) 05:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just to let you know, the List of countries, which you nominated for FL status has been nominated at WP:FLRC for removal of featured status. You can comment at Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of countries. Thanks, Pfainuk talk 23:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear AfC participant,

1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.

Some time ago you indicated your support of the Oxford 2010 Wikimania Bid, and it was recieved with much gratitude. I now ask if you could could help support our bid by contributing to the bid page that is located at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford. Now is the critical period for work to continue on the bid as the official bidding period has now started and the jury has been formed.

I do not ask for huge swathes of time, just enough that with eveyrone working on this, it can be completed in time to the high standard required in a bid. For the bid page, an excellent source of information is the travel wiki article on the City of Oxford which is found at: http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford. The chance of bringing Wikimania to the UK is the best so far and i expect the best chance for many years. With a fresh and stong UK chapter we have an amazing opportunity to put ourselves on the map. If you have any questions, please mail them to the Wikimedia UK mailing list, email me or post a message on my my talk page and i will answer as quickly as possible.

I look forward to working with you on the bid page. Many Thanks. Seddσn ^talk 15:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
