I guess Template:Afc redirect will always be substituted. In that case it might be better to substitute the parser functions, otherwise a lot of unnecessary text will go on the page. What do you think? Martin ^msgj 10:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Done. It took a while, due to mediocre documentation and me trying to figure out exactly what the syntax is but the change is in effect. --  kenb215 talk 00:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Well done for taking on the redirect template. As you seem to be quite knowledgeable about the technical stuff I have a request for you. Please ignore it it doesn't appeal! Back in the day when all submissions were on the same page, we used to use a javascript to automate the process of accepting and declining submissions. It's at User:Henrik/afc-helper. This isn't really appropriate anymore because most of the reasons relate to articles and not redirects. However it would be fantastic if you could make a version on this which would produce the various options in the redirect template. Regards — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 12:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Sorry, but I don't know enough Javascript to figure out how to update it. --  kenb215 talk 04:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply

That's okay, neither do I. By the way I just added the rollback ability to your account. I hope you find it useful, but please read WP:ROLLBACK before using. Cheers, — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 19:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for Rollback. I'll try to make good use of it. --  kenb215 talk 22:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi, how are you doing? I've just adjusted your {{ afc mm}} template to use a combined template {{ afc-c}} for all of these collapsed boxes, for easier maintenance. Perhaps you could check it out. You might like to tweak the colours. Secondly, I can't see any advantage in substituting these templates, can you? — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 10:19, 4 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I'm doing good. I said to subst: {{ afc mm}} just to match the other templates. I think the reason for it was just site performance, which shouldn't matter much. I think your change might have messed up all the archive pages, the entries there aren't closing properly. --  kenb215 talk 04:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Uri Fineman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{ hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Exxolon ( talk) 23:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Suggest you work on the article in userspace User:Kenb215/Uri_Fineman then move it to Uri Fineman when it's at least a stub to avoid problems. Exxolon ( talk) 00:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Radialpoint logo.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{ PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{ self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI ( talk) 22:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Citigroup logo 2009.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. Kalel2007 ( talk) 22:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC) reply
