Template:Traditional beliefs

I do not understand the purpose in this template. Would you mind explaining it? COrrect me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a collection of articles beginning with the word 'traditional' and then some sports tournaments and festivals you know of. Munci (talk) 13:51, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Spoken Article Request

I have recorded and uploaded a spoken version of the Megan Timpf article, fulfilling your request from over a year ago :) Sylosin (T/C) 23:07, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very kindly, Sylosin. Your hard working spirit is always admired on Wikipedia. GVnayR (talk) 01:15, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL

First, I have great respect to your dedication to the project, but. You have created a significant number of technology related articles which did not comply with WP:CRYSTAL and do read as (referenced) speculations on what may or may not happen. Many of them (if not most) have been deleted that resulted in a significant waste of time and effort, yours and of other editors. To prevent further waste of time and effort, I do suggest this issue, namely creating of crystal-ball-like articles by yourself, to be settled at any venue you prefer. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 05:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Your additions of Template:TOChidden

I have mentioned edits by you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Template:TOChidden. It seems you have also added Template:TOChidden to race articles. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for removing it from race articles. I have removed it from video games. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:05, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome, PrimeHunter. GVnayR (talk) 04:20, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:NorfolkGeneralHospitalExterior.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:NorfolkGeneralHospitalExterior.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 17:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Fixing redirects

Hi GVnayR. In the interests of possibly saving you some future effort, there's no need to "fix" redirects (as you did here) if the redirect points to the right place. In fact, WP:NOTBROKEN actually suggests not "fixing" redirects. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 02:14, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Category:Redneck video games

Is there an actual genre of video game that is called "redneck video games", or is that something you made up yourself in naming the category? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I should rename the category into Category:Rural-themed video games instead. GVnayR (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Could do. I had never heard the "redneck" name used for video games before, but I'm not a gamer so I don't know if it's a recognized genre or not. If it's not, the "redneck" name kind of sounds a bit derogatory towards ... whoever. Farmers and rural people, I guess. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:54, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Federation of International Football Independents

The article Federation of International Football Independents has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

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