Denny Hulme died while driving, but he wasn't killed. Your edits to his page and the List of racing drivers who died in racing crashes are therefore technically incorrect. Both the category and the list are there to catalogue those who suffered an unnatural, untimely death as a result of the crash. Cheers, --DeLarge 11:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Ron Delezio, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ron Delezio. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you Albatross2147 09:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to George Washington (inventor) (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

An editor has nominated Gavin Priestly, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gavin Priestly and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Infinity page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Gavin Priestly, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Gavin Priestly is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Gavin Priestly saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. Mattinbgn/ ^talk 21:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Paxyl advertisements which you have placed in:

• Anal leakage
• Anusol
• Burn (injury)
• Chafing
• Chapped lips
• Paroxetine
• Sunburn
• Windburn

I have also cleaned up the main Paxyl article, though it may be non-notable enough for deletion.

Please do not try to use Wikipedia as an advertising medium again. -- Greentryst ^T_C 13:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mary Jerram, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mary Jerram seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mary Jerram, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 12:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Midstate689.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Icacnsw.gif. 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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ajayvius, I've reverted this edit you made to the above article, because you not only removed the associated press reference, and the reflist, but you added a quite inappropriate and invalid category, Category:Obese people which is really not helpful. ^Ariel♥Gold 03:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:OHSBadge2.gif. 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 11:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Leader of the Opposition (New South Wales), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Leader of the Opposition (Tasmania). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

I have reverted the inclusion of Image:HMAS Hawkesbury at Waterhen.jpg from the HMAS Hawkesbury (M 83) article, because the ship depicted is not Hawkesbury. The ship in the image is HMAS Armidale (ACPB 83), lead ship of the Armidale class patrol boats.

Might I suggest you rename the image, remove or update any other inclusions, and add a copy (under the new name) to the Armidale article? -- saberwyn 07:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, my confusion as HMAS Hawkesbury M83 has a home port of HMAS Waterhen where the photo was taken, yet it was HMAS Armidale APCB83 berthed there even though its home base is at Darwin. Ajayvius (talk) 07:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Summer Street‎.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mervyn Wood.jpg. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 20:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ajayvius your pic of HMAS Darwin has been copied to Commons and is under the same name (Commons:File:HMAS Darwin at Garden Island.jpg).

Regarding your edit: are you sure John See was ever leader of the Protectionist Party? I can't find any source for that. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To have been the Premier of New South Wales he would have had to have been the parliamentary leader, so in that respect fits into the category Leader of poliical parties in Australia. Ajayvius (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the rampant tagging of these articles? I suspect you'll find that there's not much support for this category to begin with, but you're tagging people who have patently never even led parties - i.e. Linda Burney, Alan Stockdale, and Chris McDiven, who wasn't even a Liberal MP! Can you please fix this up? Rebecca (talk) 17:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Party presidents. Ajayvius (talk) 01:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They're not really party leaders in any commonly understood usage of the term. They run the organisational wing of the party; they essentially don't have much of a public profile; I can't think of anyone who would consider McDiven to have been "Liberal leader" in any capacity. Can you please remove these from the category? Rebecca (talk) 04:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"[See] would have had to have been"? That sounds like WP:SYNTH to me.

"fits into the category Leader of poliical parties in Australia" — and the criteria for the Category:Leaders of political parties in Australia are documented where? In my opinion, the loose standard you apply makes that category rather unhelpful. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If a position of President is not also a position of leader then what is it? Ajayvius (talk) 05:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's the person who runs the party's administrative wing. The only person who ever gets referred to as "leader" of a party is the parliamentary leader. I doubt you'll find a single sources anywhere referring to someone like McDiven as "Liberal leader". Rebecca (talk) 06:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In passing, in the ALP the party president is not even leader of the administrative wing - that role belongs to the General Secretary. The President presides over State or National Conferences and has a figurehead role in policy discussions, but is a part-time post only. The General Secretary is a full-time administrative role with responsibility for running the organisation.

The article on Australian Labor Party also makes clear the party leader is the parliamentary leader. Could I therefore add my opinion to those above and suggest you either remove some of your recent additions to the category so that it once again reflects parliamentary leaders only, or if you prefer, seek consensus for broadening the category to include party officials, via discussion somewhere like WT:AUP? Euryalus (talk) 00:13, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will remove party presidents and leave the category for parliamentary leaders. Ajayvius (talk) 07:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a reasonable argument either way, its just not something thats been discussed previously. Feel free to raise it at WT:AUP or anywhere else - there might well be consensus for it if some good arguments are put. Euryalus (talk) 10:51, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence North Epping murders. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 11:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes, please never ask people for support for for "keep", or "delete" You can ask people to look at an article at AfD, but not suggest any particular outcome.

The article you created was just deleted?

		The article you created was just deleted?
		All is not lost. Here is what you can do right now:
		Many administrators will be happy to give you a copy of your deleted article, either by putting it on a special user page for you (a process called userfication) or by e-mailing you a copy. List of administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles (empty) no pages or subcategories Once you have the article, you can try to resolve the issues why it was deleted. How to find the reason for deletion (not required to get your article undeleted) You can find out why your article was deleted: On this log page, once you enter the name of your page, this will show you who deleted it and why. If the reason doesn't make sense, try clicking any links on the reason, or you can ask by typing {{help}} followed by your question on your talk page. Or you can ask any administrator to tell you why it was deleted. 1. If your article is deleted because of notability, it was deleted because you didn't give us enough information to confirm that people had published articles, books, or other publications to verify the claims your article made. You'll simply need to find some published articles that covered the subject of your article. While this may not be possible for some subjects (your cat, your garage band), you'd be surprised how easy it is, and people are happy to help on the help desk or in projects like the Article Rescue Squadron if you ask politely and tell them as much as you can. 2. If your article was deleted because it was a "copyvio", or copyright violation, an administrator removed it because it violated someone's copyright on their work. Only public domain information can be copied without permission — this does not include most web pages or images. You can rewrite the article so that it is no longer a copyright violation, you can request permission from the copyright holder to republish their work, or if and only if you are the copyright holder you can donate your work to the project or release it under a license compatible with Wikipedia's. If you've repaired the article, or you believe the reasons for deleting the article were in error, you can dispute the deletion at Deletion Review. Generally, you must show how the previous deletion(s) were in error, but this is the place to resolve disputes about whether a deletion was wrong.

You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Breadalbane.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 08:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ajayvius! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. 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 this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 31 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

I have restored the history of North Epping murders, which now redirects to the new article Lin family murders. The history of your article can still be accessed here. It is now plain to see this was a significant event in Australia; I hope you feel a little vindicated by claims like "one of the worst homicides in the state's recent history."[1] --John Vandenberg ^(chat) 02:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article Central Western Daily has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence for notability, just for existence,

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 05:13, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Central Western Daily is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Central Western Daily until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 08:26, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
