VandalProof Awaiting Approval list

Hi. I just applied for approval for VandalProof, and I noticed your name on the Awaiting Approval list. According to the instructions there, we are supposed to replace spaces in our usernames with underscores. (I think they request this because of formatting issues with their edit count tool.) I noticed that your name still had a space in it, so I changed it to an underscore. I hope you don't mind. Good luck! --Majin Izlude 11:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I doubt they would mind such a trivial detail as that, but I'll go and change it anyway. Mostly Rainy 12:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

You're from New York, I see. Have you seen 101 Dalmations? Mostly Rainy 04:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:MostlyRainy.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:MostlyRainy.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages: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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Closing of AfDs with "delete" consensus, again

I see you have discussed this before: User talk:Mostly Rainy/2#Closing_of_AfDs_with_.22delete.22_consensus. You said you would stop closing such AfDs. Did you forget? You closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Wootatrocity. To be clear: Do not do this again. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
