Fair use in user space

Hello WBOSITG. I see you are using two copyrighted images on your userpage. It would be best to remove them as that violates the policy regulating the use of non-free media on the English Misplaced Pages. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 18:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Flags in infobox

Hello, I see that it is the case to use flags in school infoboxes. There is a discussion (ending in stalemate) here about whether or not they should be used in infoboxes. I think the article I was originally put to is Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (flags) when I used too flag a lot! There are a multitude of opinions of what the standard should be. Personally I used to be an over-zelous "flagger" putting them everywhere but now i've become the opposite and don't like them at all. In this case a standard has been set for this infobox but I'd be interested to know what other wikipedians thought and whether they think its necessary or not.

Speedy deletion of Infinite Jest (album)

A tag has been placed on Infinite Jest (album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

hi

I think you either got the wrong person or typed the wrong text into my userpage. Did you want me for something to do with stereotypy? your edit on my talk page Haplolology /_{Contributions} 21:56, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

If youre not too busy, could you explain how you found me? Im awfully curious, especially since I dont think we've even edited the same articles. Haplolology /_{Contributions} 22:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I DO sign my posts. Get off my case, this bot keeps nigging at me to sign when I always do. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 22:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Sedlice (Strakonice District)

Just letting you know that as per common outcomes, towns and villages, regardless of size, are considered notable, as long as they actually do (or if they used to) exist. J Milburn (talk) 22:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I still believe that the article is far too short, but that will be fixed, I assume. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 22:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Martin Greig

A tag has been placed on Martin Greig requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
