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) 23:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC) TorquayThanks for the ref for Torquay.

ThanksFor the response for MeredithW. Andy (talk) 20:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC) Move protectionBecause we have a long history with the vandal that does these page moves. Unless the pages are moveprotected, he returns to them over and over again. He has proven this pattern of behavior enough times that I don't think we need to wait for him to move every page twice. Also, these targets are invariably well-established articles where a change of the article title would be exceedingly unlikely -- Utopia is a good example.

Nazi ZombiesThere were reasons why the article was made a redirect before, and those reasons still apply now. First and foremost, the article violates WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:GAMECRUFT, not to mention it lacked any reliable and verifiable sources. NZ is a mode, not a separate game, so anything of importance about it should be in the Call of Duty: World at War article. Then there is the notability issue, which likewise discourages allowing NZ as a separate article. Reading through what was there, it was nothing more than original research and fan-collected material (description of how the NZ level resembled another multiplayer level, lists of playable weapons, etc.). The section on NZ in the CoD:WaW article can be expanded with some of what was there, but Wikipedia isn't the Call of Duty Wiki or a general game guide. -- Commdor {Talk} 19:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC) helloSorry if I was a bit too stiff re Red Cliffs.

--BorgQueen (talk) 12:12, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Replaceable fair use Image:St George Wharf Tower, artist's rendition.jpg Thanks for uploading Image:St George Wharf Tower, artist's rendition.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. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
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. Stifle (talk) 12:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC) drake circusWould you please comment at Talk:Drake Circus.

Hi, please excuse any problems I might have caused in regards to that user on the article about February snowfall in the UK by asking whether or not 10 inches of snowfall in itself is notable. I have no clue what a "Muhammad" is or is supposed to mean. I wonder if it is meant as a personal attack on me. Spinach Monster (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

See alsoHi. I saw where you reverted my additions to the see also section. My understanding of see also sections is that they exist in order to direct interested readers to areas that tangently related. Do you think you could restore my additions, or explain why you feel they are inappropriate, if that is the case? Thanks.Die4Dixie (talk) 22:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Project Norfolk & SuffolkHi Thanks for your offer of help. I need you to understand that my aim is to learn as much as I can about the processes involved and so as long as you don't mind me asking questions a lot then I would really appreciate your help on this. I lack knowledge of the way certain tasks are performed in Wikiworld, such as the collection of info from tags, although my training is in systems analysis, so I pick things up (sometimes lol) fairly quickly. I would like to start by spending a couple of days looking over your Devon page and then get back to you over next two days if thats ok ? Thanks again--Chaosdruid (talk) 03:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletionI notice that you tagged the page File:Drake-circus-1.jpg for speedy deletion with the reason "image which has been tagged and the uploader notified for more than 7 days as showing no evidence that the copyright holder has released it under the license indicated by the uploader". While that's a valid reason for speedy deletion in general, this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because the image has not been tagged for seven days, and in any case the uploader claims to be the copyright holder and does not need to provide further evidence of that. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, or using the WP:FFD process. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 13:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Naming ConventionsHi there! You recently commented on a [image candidate] of mine and had something to say about capitalization in the filename. It has been my personal convention to name files with only an initial capital letter. I am still new to Commons, so if there is a different standard convention I ought to use, I would appreciate your pointing me in the correct direction to read about the issue. Thanks! -- Notyourbroom (talk) 16:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
COD WOW plotOk, I missed that part of the GA review, but even before I got there, I would have agreed that the plot as it was, even though it mimics the COD4 plot section, was on the repetitive and overly detailed side. Part of it here may be the fact that this is still historically accurate, and thus the three separate characters' missions do not affect each other to any degree, unlike in COD4 where there is a much stronger connection to the story parts and describing it in order makes the story cohesive. For CODWOW, it's convoluted when you present it as such even though they follow the appropriate events in order. But feel free to change it back if you feel it is better that way. --MASEM 21:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC) WikiProject DorsetJust a quick note to say thanks for joining WikiProject Dorset. It some ways it's actually very beneficial to have someone not from Dorset, to give an un-biased and very honest viewpoint of Dorset articles. Glad to have you onboard!

BarretBonden (talk) 15:02, 22 February 2009 (UTC) Interview, snowHi, I've removed your mentioning of the interview and costs involved in preparation for the snow, since it's not associated with the section - the section is about the reaction of the public, not about how badly UK was prepared for the event. Also, I am not sure whether the source was okay. I don't mind putting it somewhere else in the article. I hope you don't mind. Cheers BeŻet (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Cornish hurlingIn view of this "In the city of Grass Valley, the tradition of singing Cornish carols lives on and one local historian of the area says the songs have become "the identity of the town". Some of the members of today's Cornish Carol Choir are in fact descendants of the original Cornish gold miners. The city holds St Piran's Day celebrations every year, which along with carol singing, includes a flag raising ceremony, games involving the Cornish pasty, and Cornish wrestling competitions.[1]" the California Grass Valley seems more likely than Virginia.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

What data are you basing your assumptions on? It would be very useful to have this data. Look at Semi-arid climate and you'll see that the examples on that page actualy get more rainfall than Ciudad Victoria. I admit that Ciudad Victoria does have a slight wet/dry season effect and that's why I said it could "possibly" be classed as "subtropical" and a note on occasional hurricanes. I'm very sure that hurricanes do affect Ciudad Victoria every now and then. Jolly Ω Janner 12:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
