Hey there! Saw you created the Stay Asleep article. I was wondering if you had plans to create articles for Bigwig's other three albums. Those have been on my wishlist for a while, but sadly, I am not much for creating/writing articles.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Canadian Rugby Championship season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bob Rogers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for uploading File:Hamilton Pan Am Stadium Model.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:06, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-03-22T21:06:00.000Z","author":"ImageTaggingBot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-ImageTaggingBot-2013-03-22T21:06:00.000Z-License_tagging_for_File:Hamilton_Pan_Am_Stadium_Model.png","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hamilton Pan Am Stadium Model.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

HEY HO, LET'S GO!!! Punk rockers—As you know, the Ramones are undeniably the first punk rock band, so it is vital to this genre that we collaborate to improve their scope! So far, I have worked on the band's first three albums, and it would be awesome if all the punks on Wiki would aid in expanding/cleaning the Ramones articles. You can see my progress here. Please fellow fans, do this for the old-school punk.

Hey there, I've edited the 2014 NACRA Rugby Championship page with several updates and the like and have noticed that the bonus points system mentioned in the Wikipedia article seems to differ from how it is on the NACRA website. I clicked on the history page and saw you were a frequent editor of the page so I thought I would ask you. Basically, I am not sure what the bonus points system is, because according to their "Standings" section on their website (previous link) it seems like there is also a losing bonus point (by 7 or less I assume). This is my intuition as Turks and Caicos Islands, for example, have two bonus points according to the website as they have lost by 4 and 2 points to Jamaica and the Bahamas, respectively. Should we change it to that way as it is on the NACRA website?

First of all, thanks for your edits. Much appreciated. Secondly, yes, we should absolutely update the page. When I created it, there was no mention of losing bonus points on the NACRA site, but since they're using them, we should be to.
