Auto templatesNo, there is no thorough discussion about depreciation of these templates. What I'd eventually like to see is a tidy-up of Category:Conversion templates. There is so much redundancy in the category. If you want to convert inches to millimetres, for example, there are four different templates you could use.
It just makes sense to me to have everything moved to a smaller set of templates. J

BJBot (talk) 12:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC) SWG reversionsHi RG. Was it really necessary to fully revert Treybien's edits? His/her changing of the date formats was unnecessary but largely harmless, and there were a lot of decent edits mixed in there. The only thing that really needed reverting was his/her linking of month-year dates. Powers T 15:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JM-WaitingOnTheWorldToChange.jpgThanks for uploading Image:JM-WaitingOnTheWorldToChange.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC) British BikesHi Rich - I am slowly building up and improving images of British bikes on Commons in the category Motorcycles of Britain to support the Wikiproject Motorcycling British motorcycles. It would be great if you can donate any British bike pics - or have the time to add to any of the articles. Thanks Tony (talk) 19:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
British English but not American English?So, "Motorcycle" can use the BrEng notice. But "BMW (motorcycles)" cannot use the AmEng notice. I am sure there must be a reason why you feel that way. Motorrad-67 (talk) 20:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Your tactics puzzle me. Roguegeek (talk) 18:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
RobotechHello, I've merged Robotech (film) to Robotech#Live-action film per the notability guidelines for future films since production has not begun and is not guaranteed to. You can add further details about the project's development at this section per the future films department's process. Some examples of this being done include Shantaram (film), Magneto (film), and Logan's Run (2010 film). Let me know if you have any questions! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC) Image source problem with Image:HRC-logo.pngThanks for uploading Image:HRC-logo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ejfetters (talk) 05:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:HRC-logo.pngThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HRC-logo.png. 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.

Thanks for the support. {{L to gal}} is now gone (speedied). It should only be a matter of time till {{gal to l}} is gone too. JIMp talk·cont 18:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC) SWG Criticism revisions and balanceIt appears that you have removed a fair amount of detail while trying to establish balance in the criticism of the SWG. It is my feeling that at least some of this removed material is "significant views that have been published by reliable sources", and were cited. I would suggest you revert and try to apply spot changes to the wording to remove bias (such as for the "4 months" portion) without actually removing items of historical or ongoing interest relating to SWG. The original text is in my opinion mostly balanced, and some of your edits could simply be applied within the framework of topics within the Criticism section, which could also be expanded to include "reception" as you have done. Could you discuss this in more detail, or can we work together on an edit based on the pre June 26 version? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danhiel (talk • contribs) 06:38, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 05:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Instead of making snide comments, how about trying to edit it so that it doesn't look like it's full of rubbish? The tag that tags it as a possible advertisment is put back.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 12:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your commentOver on Bull-Doser's talk page. I looked a little further into the Kia vehicles category, and it does in fact seem that more than one Kia vehicle page is described this way. I don't like it aesthetically -- and it is not applied consistently -- but a pattern does emerge. Vehicles with one name, so far as I could tell, apparently are sold under just one name. My guess is this is not consistent across Automobiles articles on Wikipedia, but I also don't want to leap to any conclusions about what that should mean here. Do you know if there has been any decisions on this issue or issues like it in the past? NMS Bill (talk) 00:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
