Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jack Adams (ice hockey b. 1920), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AHL ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for uploading File:Nolinor Aviation Logo.svg. 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I get my "enjoyment" from correcting pages that appear on the Pages with missing references list. Several times over the last day or two I have found myself cleaning up after you - you add references to various Canadian figures, but you don't seem to check whether it was good. What happens is, because yours is usually the first, there is no {{ Reflist}} on the page. The red error message tells you this. All you need to do is add, at the bottom of the page before any external links (a) section header - ==References==; (b) choice of {{ Reflist}} or <references /> (I think it's immaterial which.) There are buttons in the wiki markup panel at the bottom of the edit pane.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot ( opt-out) 16:55, 28 May 2013 (UTC)A little while ago a user (Felipito1.966) was making a number of unhelpful edits eg blindly changing american spelling to english spelling and removing the unit conversion template and hardcoding everything in metric. Somehow this behavior made it on your radar and you blocked the user. The block period is over and the user is back. I am not sure what the policy is for gauging if the editor learned the lesson but judging from his first four edits it seems the editor did not learn a thing. All of his edits were reverted by people other than me very quickly. Can you help out?
Summary of edits:
All of these edits were promptly reverted by other editors. It seems that the cooling off period did little to change this user's opinion about the meaning of helpful and constructive edits. Other than these four edits the editor also blanked his talk page (and archive) and user page, in order to remove any mention of his previous unhelpful editing and or his block history.
A quick perusal of his past talk pages makes it clear that this type of editing is the norm or this user:

Thank you for uploading File:Quebec City 2002 Olympic bid logo.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dianna ( talk) 00:53, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I saw that you were the admin that blocked User:Felipito1.966 who has a long rap sheet of bullying his way across Wikipedia and toward anyone using other units, styles, and variations of English. He is back doing the same thing again despite being "counseled" again and again with no remorse or any changes of behavior at all since being reported to ANI (August 2012) where too many editors were "optimistic" that he would change.

Hi, Conormah. Recently you've edited a bunch of biographical articles about judges, to add sourced information on date-of-birth. That's great! But in many cases, you've managed to format the references in a way that may not be the most clear.
For instance, in your recent change to Kermit Lipez, you formatted the reference like this: <Ref>[http://books.google.ca/books?id=UrxFAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Lipez,+kermit%22+1941&dq=%22Lipez,+kermit%22+1941&hl=en&sa=X&ei=us-vUfuQO4jIiwLWs4CwCA&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg]</reF>. Unfortunately that means in the references list, it appears merely as [1]. That's really not helpful because it means the reader can't tell what the reference is without hovering over the link and even then it may not be super-clear.
It would be best, I think, if you could format such references using Template:cite web. I realize sometimes that's a lot of work, though, since you have to put in author=, title=, url=, accessdate=, etc., etc., in order to be really useful.
But if that's too high a burden, a better approach is to just omit the brackets around the URL. That is, just say <ref>http://foo.bar/baz</ref> instead of <ref>[http://foo.bar/baz]</ref>. If you do that, then it shows up as the literal URL itself, i.e. http://foo.bar/baz and not [1]. When the URLs aren't great, like in the Lipez instance, this isn't as good as {cite web}, but it's still better than nothing.
Thanks so much! What do you think? jhawkinson ( talk) 02:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Boise State Broncos Logo.svg. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Hi, Connormah -- I had occasion to modify the Presidents of Yale University template when Peter Salovey recently assumed the position. From the template history I gather you are mostly responsible for constructing it. I wondered why the footnote reads "* indicates acting president, pro tempore or chancellor"? It seems to me that the first two alternatives cover it. Andrew and Daggett were both pro tempore, Gray was acting president. I don't know of any Yale president that was called "chancellor". And since "pro tempore" and "acting" are pretty much the same thing in different languages, I was thinking "* indicates service in an acting or pro tempore capacity" might be a better phrasing. Anyway, I thought it best to run it past you for your thoughts in case I'm missing something. - Nunh-huh 03:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Coat of Arms of Guelph, Ontario.svg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy.
