Vandalism charges

Regarding your comments on my User IP page:

You skipped to a warning 4, not 3, because you weren't happy with the change in question. Read the discussion, read WINAD policy, look at other edits made by administrators (User :Stephen), and then think carefully about your claims of "vandalism". As I understand it, multiple consecutive reverts is also against policy. You look like you want to try to be a serious contributor to Wiki, and I respect that, so I have no intention of taking similar action against you. However, vandalism comes in many forms, and you need to take care that you are not guilty yourself.

As a newbie to this project, I would have thought I could look to more experienced community members (regardless of age) for guidance. Instead, you attack me as aggressively as you have when I have not in fact violated any rules. If you want to engage me in discussion about this, I would be more than willing. If you would rather use your understanding of the community to further threaten and harass me, you will probably be successful at chasing away a potential contributor.

Is it time?

Is it time i archived User talk:ACBest/Main? And if so, how do i archive? Thanks! ACBestMy Contributions 09:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, make an archive by cutting your old message and pasting them to User talk:ACBest/Main/Archive1. See WP:ARCHIVE for more information. Real96 09:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

How?

Hi! I Just joined the French Wikipedia, and was wondering what a 'In other laguages' bar hasnt apeared below toolbox.

Thanks, Damon! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 15:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I've added it on for you! Andy^talk 15:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

haha! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 15:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

That should be it now, when you create the talk page for it then you can link that also using [[fr:Discussion_Utilisateur:ACBest]]! Time for some coffee I think! P.S Many thanks for the barnstar! Andy^talk 15:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

What have i done now?

{{helpme}} Why does, in toolbox, upload file display as 'Upload file (no wizard)'? Thanks! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

It's ok it's changed for everyone! I haven't got any details on the change yet, but I shall try to find out! Andy^talk 19:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Its in preparation for Wikipedia:Upload, an upload wizard to help editors decide what tags to use, which is not currently live. --Iamunknown 19:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Phew! Thanks everyone! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Project:Upload is live. The "(no wizard)" link is there in part for the benefits of editors who don't wish to use the wizard. Uncle G 20:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Can i create?

Can i create a bot that is manually-assisted? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I am unsure of what you are asking, perhaps elaborate at the Help desk. Anyone can run a manually asssited bot, under their own Wikipedia account, they don't need to ask permission, as long as there are not too many edits made. An example would be Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser. If you are going to make fast edits, or a lot of edit, or controversial edits it would be a good idea to set up a bot account (even if the edits are manually assisted) and get permission following Wikipedia:Bot policy.--Commander Keane 08:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I mean like, create an account (User:ACBot) and with my assistance it would do little tasks round some pages, not too many edits involved. Also, i would be using the AWB, im just installing .NET 2.0 now! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Well Wikipedia:Bot policy will explain what to do, if it is not clear then ask on the talk page there.--Commander Keane 08:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

So am i allowed or not? I'm confused! i was looking, and am i allowed to create User:ACBot just to do little edits using AWB, pending approval to use AWB that is... ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 08:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

No you can't run it, you need to follow the procedure from the page I have link you to. Basically:

1. Creating a talk page for the bot, describing its functions
2. Listing it on Requests for approvals
3. Getting the go-ahead from someone in the approvals group

--Commander Keane 08:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi ACBest. Unfortunately, I had to decline your AWB application because you don't have enough mainspace experience. MaxSem 06:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Humor

{{helpme}} How would i go about creating a humorus wikiproject called 'WikiProject Good User Pages'? Kinda like the humorus wikiproject im in - antartica highways. Yes, i would use

These pages contain material which is kept because the contents are considered humorous. Unlike an almost vanishingly small portion of Wikipedia, they are not intended, nor should they be used, for any research or serious use.

ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Why?

why wont the image i uploaded (Image:Padlockmontage.svg), show up? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 09:48, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't see the image. I think there's some problems with your image that you uploaded. I'm not very good with technical stuff. Maybe you could try the help desk. Terence 10:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

No offence, I respect your answer, but can anyone else give me a better answer? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Probably something wrong with the image. Try uploading it again. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 19:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, its on wikipedia twice already ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:04, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

The code in the SVG file links to a bitmap image that is stored on your desktop at the location "C:\Documents and Settings\[name obscured]\My Documents\My Pictures\padlockmontage.bmp". The SVG file, however, is stored on the Wikimedia servers, so it cannot access that file. Why don't you convert the bitmap file to a JPEG or PNG file and upload it instead? --Iamunknown 19:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Sure, OK! I'm learning SVG!!! ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Permission please!

User:ACBest/Signature Notice Can i have permission to start up a second, temporary sandbox please? Many Thanks Damon ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 17:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing really preventing you from starting and maintaining as many subpages as you like for various devious purposes. No permission is needed as far as I am aware. You can request deletion of temporary pages by adding the {{db-author}} tag when you are done with them. --Finngall ^talk 18:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Big brother eye logo s8.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Big brother eye logo s8.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Sandbox deleted

As per the discussion which has taken place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australia#Sandbox, I've deleted your personal sandbox which was previously at User:ACBest/TempSandbox. The reason for this action was that the contents, mostly WikiProject templates, were populating many categories with this page. As you have not edited this page for 5 days, I felt it was best deleted to avoid unnecessary category clutter.

Let me know if you require any assistance with Wikiproject templates. I'd be happy to give you a hand if you wish to get your own template off the ground for any WikiProject you may be a part of. Cheers. -- Longhair\^talk 06:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Picture

what licence can i put on the aero picture i just uploaded? Thanks ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book

I think {{Product-cover}} is the most appropriate for this image. Remember, it's only fair use, so if it isn't actively used on a mainspace article, the image will be deleted. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 16:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Glasgow_station_logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Glasgow_station_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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 07:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 07:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

How come

How come File:Leeds station logo.gif gets to exsist, if you know what i mean, yet mine doesnt. Its exactly the same. ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 19:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

If you feel another image is also in violation, mark it for deletion. If you can justify the one in question, do so for it and the other one. Bassgoonist 20:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} is my glasgow station logo ok now? ACBestMy ContributionsAutograph Book 17:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

No, although the image now has source information, it also needs a fair use rationale, explaining why the image is fair use. Try to address each of the the fair use criteria in turn, explaining why the image meets that criterion. --ais523 17:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Userpage semi-protection

Hi. Your userpage was previously semi-protected. When you moved it to User:ACBest/Secondary, the semi-protection followed; as a result, User:ACBest/Secondary is now protected while User:ACBest is not. If this was unintended, you may wish to request unprotection of the subpage and re-protection of your userpage. Thanks – Gurch 19:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

Image:EWSlogo.jpg

I have tagged Image:EWSlogo.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 21:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC) {{helpme}}

Thanks, Damon

I´m sorry, but this seems to be a case of copyright violation. As long as you do not have the permission of the photographer or the owner of the rights you are not allowed to upload this image on Wikipedia. You could contact the owner of the website and ask for permission to use the photo. He can tell you, which licenses are used on the webpage.--Thw1309 08:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but according to WP:BOT, Unflagged bots (including bots in trial periods) should limit edits to no more than 2 per minute. ... Larger delays are always allowed, and it is recommended that bots run with larger delays during peak hours, and days (such as Mondays). Ideally, bots should be run at a rate that permits human editors to review the bot's edits if the need arises.--Werdan7^{T @} 19:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
