I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place License tagging for Image:Wxscanis2.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Wxscanis2.jpg. 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: 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. 23:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Normandy roadI've nominated Normandy road, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Normandy road satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Normandy road and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Normandy road during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Fourohfour 14:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Wikimedia PennsylvaniaHello there! I'm writing to inform you that we are now forming the first local Wikimedia Chapter in the United States: Wikimedia Pennsylvania.

Thanks and I hope you join up! Cbrown1023 talk 03:26, 9 July 2007 (UTC) A tag has been placed on Cartoon Central, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template
Help needed{{helpme}} I was wondering if anyone ever created a user template saying that the user lives in Philadelphia? If so, could you edit my profile to add this template? Thanks in advance!Intelliguy 15:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Email tipYou may wish to set your email address in your preferences instead. Just click here, paste it into the "E-mail" field, click "Enable e-mail from other users" and click Save. Then, people can click "E-mail this user" next to your user page and user talk page. I recommend that you do not state it on your user page, as this makes you vulnerable for spam bots. Regards, Melsaran 15:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
{{helpme}} callHi. {{helpme}} are used if you have "questions about using Wikipedia" that you would like general help for. It is placed on your own talk page where helpers will answer your query. If you have a question for a specific user, then post it in the user talk page. That do not require a {{helpme}} being posted on that user talk page. KTC 00:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wxscannational.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Wxscannational.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. BetacommandBot 13:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC) Image tagging for Image:XLCC.pngThanks for uploading Image:XLCC.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well. For more information on using images, see the following pages: This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Good morning Question re: templates{{helpme}} Where can I find the templates people use to advise users that they are vandalizing articles, or otherwise violating the rules?

Fair use rationale for Image:Twcatmospheres.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Twcatmospheres.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

WeatherSTAR XL vs IntelliStar updatesI'm not sure you if you know or not, and I know it's not a "wiki" kind of question, but do you know if the WeatherSTAR XL received the same LDL updates the IntelliStar received on the 2nd of June? I'm just curious... If it did, the article should be updated, but I just don't know... It would seem logical it received some kind of update... —TRAiNER4 (talk • contrib) 23:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The WeatherSTAR 4000 Emulator
Weathercaster up for deletionI have added Weathercaster to WP:AFD, which is how the WeatherStar 4000 emulator died its Wikipedia death. The evidence stacks up:
Please weigh in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Weathercaster. If I am right that this is a fake, tell me that. I am also putting the image up for a deletion process. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 22:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC) Re: Spanish ForecastUnfortunately, I can't. I assumed that part of article was talking about ALL segments, including any discontinued ones. BTW, would it be alright if I put it back up and added something like 'this product is believed to have been discontinued?' Thanks. Weatherstar4000 (talk) 02:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC) Category:Court TV showsI moved this from WP:RM to WP:CFD, as categories are not handled at WP:RM. I put it into the speedy category, meaning if there is no objection, it will be moved in 48 hours. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 01:16, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Since there was an objection on the technical grounds that it does not meet the criteria for speedy move, just follow the directions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 15:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Re: MikeM2010I apologize for the recent edits I've made with the MikeM2010 account, which caused that account to be suspended from making edits. When my username changed last week (per request), the edits I was making were still being made under my old username for some reason. I logged out and logged back in again and am now in my new username, MikeM2011. This was accidental and I was not intending to be a sock puppet. Thanks for your understanding.

BJBot (talk) 05:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC) Fair use rationale for File:Wxscanis3.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wxscanis3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

USSH violationsWP:USSH says to use "Route x" for the article title in the lead, not "New Jersey Route x".

While deleting orphaned fair use images is important, MfD is not the process to use. Images should be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia: Files for deletion. However, orphaned fair use images, such as the one you nominated, should follow a different process. Simply place {{subst:orfud}} on the offending image's file description page. Once that has been placed, the file will be deleted in seven days unless the problem is corrected.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abrams & Bettes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Sorry, but you can't use 'made-up' for a siren. That's for things like drinking games, words that mean 'hello', 'frightened rabbit' and 'empty box lying on the bed of a river', and other bored student junk. If you think the siren doesn't exist, it would have to be hoax - but there are ghits. I agree that it's probably not notable (although widespread), and would suggest AfD for it, in case someone there can improve it to an acceptable standard. (Does happen in some unlikely cases...) Peridon (talk) 10:26, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
I saw that you had a problem with the move I requested in November. Wikipedia users must be concerned with what article names make the most sense on Wikipedia, not on Facebook. However, since there is no other city named Kenosha in the United States, and it is well-known as one of the largest cities on the coast of Lake Michigan, the state name would probably not have to be required on Facebook pages. If the page is moved back to Kenosha, Wisconsin again, I will make a request to User:RHaworth to move-protect the page, as that topic seems to have been the source of edit warring and excessive, unnecessary editing. Have a nice day. Lord Laitinen (talk) 23:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
