Please excuse me if I've added far too much to your talk page :-D. If you want to see how I do it myself, here's an article I'm currently attempting to bring to FA status: Domenico Selvo. Cheers, JHMM13 06:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The article still has no inline citations. This is something that is going to take a while to do and will be a non-starter for an FAC. Once you've got all that checked out and enough citations to match the claims made in the article (check out recently-nominated FAs fo an idea of the density that is generally sought), let me know and I'll check out the prose.

I've rechecked your article and you now have inline citations. You may want to add a few more but I will support it. Tirronan 16:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I just happened to be scanning the Recent Changes page and saw what appeared to be vandalism, so I reverted the edits. It looks like you have done a lot to improve this article so keep up the good work! DAJF 00:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I notice you've been making some nice edits to textile arts articles. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Textile Arts? --Eyrian 15:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

G'day. I note that much of what you put into the microwave oven section is a copy of a document that has been floating around the internet for years. This document was debunked several years ago. You may wish to read: Microwaves, Nazis, cults... Gillyweed (talk) 21:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

You have changed coeliac disease to read that one must consult a rabbi in particular circumstances. Obviously this is correct, but an encyclopedia simply cannot instruct its readers to go talk to a rabbi - encyclopedias never instruct their readers to do anything (see WP:IINFO). I am not up-to-date with recent responsa about coeliac disease. Therefore, if you could produce a recent summary of halachic views on coeliacs eating matzo on Pesach that would be much better.

Thanks for your message. It would be very good if you could find a published version of the opinion of Dayan Westheim shlita, because it is highly representative of the conundrum. I think the present version simply does not discuss the possibility of "I am coeliac and have no oat matzo, am I obliged to eat wheat matzo on Seder night?" JFW | T@lk 10:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

While I have no reason to doubt what the Auschwitz museum says in regards to the images of the plan of the crematoria and the catchment map, since your photos are derivative works that the museum is apparently responsible for, here's an explanation. The image of the crematorium 2 ovens is part of the Bauleitung (construction department) album, thus it was taken 1942/1943 when the large crematoria were being built. German World War Two photographs originally had a copyright of 25 years, so its copyright expired in 1967/1968. The problem is that European copyright was harmonised, with the law coming into effect in Germany in 1995. This means that the image is copyrighted in both Germany and since in accordance with the January 1, 1996 date, even in the United States too.

Wow that was an essay, sorry, and apologies further if it doesn't make sense (I've basically paraphrased this for you). This message in a nutshell: German WW2 photographs, such as those in the Bauleitung album, are copyrighted. None of them are public domain, no matter what the Auschwitz authorities/USHMM/Yad Vashem say. Hope this helps. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading your media there instead. That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! Ijanderson977 (talk) 09:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the note, and great work with the article! Of course, it will need references eventually. But most of the material looks solid and uncontroversial, so there ought to be plenty of time to find sources. --Allen (talk) 04:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Black Stripe, I would like to use the image of the restored carding machine at quarry Bank Mill which you have uploaded to wikipedia in an educational textile text book and am requesting permission to do so - although the licence has said the image can be used my publisher is insisting that I have specific written permission from the owner of photographic works. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards Bev Ashford — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bev's Book (talk • contribs) 15:38, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking at this edit of yours and I noticed that the idea you mention does not seem to be in Midrash Rabbah. Could you explain where you got the idea from, in order to track down the exact citation? Thanks! Ar2332 (talk) 20:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Fisherman's Friend logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 10:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
