Hi Cloudbound. Just in case you are considering running for adminship again, you probably ought to opt in for to display your edit overview so that people can assess your edits. You might also like to read the new advice page at WP:Advice for RfA candidates. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:40, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cloudbound, I'd be happy to - but it might take me a little while as I'm a little snowed under. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. WormTT · (talk) 13:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cloudbound, can you explain whats happened with File:Manly colours.svg? I'm a little confused trying to track it back. Thanks! Mattlore (talk) 20:24, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
When moving files, don't forget to clean-up, revise the links as well :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
for the barnstar.--SPhilbrickT 22:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
How was that vandalism? Although the edit was somewhat... off color, it was factual and not really a joke. I'm just not sure how to cite the book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigasuperbunny (talk • contribs) 18:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I am sorry, clicked the wrong link I guess Gigasuperbunny (talk) 18:39, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar, and as for the British Gas logo, I shall upload it to the current one, when they finally do change it, so will be watching out for adverts. Thanks again and happy editing :) -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 19:22, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Greetings. I've been going through dozens of badly-named images lately, nominating some for deletion and requesting name changes for others. I noticed you've done a lot of the actual moving. Since you seem to have more experience with this than me, I thought I'd ask you some questions.
If an image is used in an article, and I move the image while leaving a redirect behind, nothing seems to break. The article still displays the image, and clicking on it takes you to the new image name, even though the old image name is still used in the article text. Do you know if there's a bot that goes around fixing these? Or do you know if they even should be fixed? I notice that when I then move the image to Commons, deleting it from here, the redirect no longer seems to work in the article. (E.g. The article no longer shows the image.) Is there an automated way to fix this that you know of, or would I have to edit each article manually? Thanks, – Quadell (talk) 17:48, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cloudbound, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 04:19, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi - Please note that there wide usage of historical logos and before removing the logo from Terra Firma Capital Partners I would like to understand your rationale other than that it is not necessary. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 04:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited BBC Sport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salford (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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Wow, my friend, you are going to down on these files for deletion nominations! You're the type of editor I'd like to work with all of the time! -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 02:34, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
I believe this is the official Marussia Logo, not the black-and-white version. Any reason why you preferred the B&W version to the colored one? It just doesn't look as good. C1010 (talk) 06:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
that you just sent over to commons some pictures that I had uploaded years ago. Before I understood the lack of freedom of panorama in the United States. Three of them,
• File:HMWashington1.jpg;
• File:HMWashington.jpg;
• File:HMPrinceton.jpg ,
are pictures of works of sculpture that are possibly still under copyright. It is possible that the Princeton one could be considered to be a picture of my kids 20 odd years ago, but I would not count on it. I'm not surer what happens next, but it won't be done by me unless I get some pretty good instructions. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 22:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the barnstar. I think you did some editing on one of my Mason City, Iowa pictures. That was a trip. Afriend and I drove across a good chunk of America and slept in the car in some abandoned building parking lot so that we would be there in the early morning. 25 years ago. I'd forgotten about those until your barnstar showed up. Tanks again. Carptrash (talk) 14:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I don't have any idea why you're marking ((PD-ineligible-USonly)) files as non-free. English Wikipedia explicitly uses American law only for which fiels we can host here - British laws need not apply. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
![]() | Hi there! I thought you might be interested in the WikiProject Images and Media's March 2012 Moving files to commons drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 10,000 files so we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and move a file or two, or tell other users. Thanks so much! Note: The drive officially starts in 12 years ago, but you can sign up now! | ![]() |

Thanks for uploading File:S Stock concept.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media 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 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 taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand your dispute of my deletion tagging. Many S stock images exist that are free, and anyone can create one by photographing an S stock train. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you left a note on my talk page. Sure, go ahead and delete the file (i should have proposed it for deletion ages ago :) I have said this on the FfD page too. Thanks, benzband (talk) 16:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
about File:A-Star-Is-Born.jpg being up for deletion. I have no memory of creating that image, it is not the sort of thing I've typically done, so I have no reason at all to oppose deletion. Let it rip. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 00:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion on the Talk page of the above article as to whether the fleet table should be removed. As someone who has made a number of contributions to the article it would be good to have your input. Thanks. Rangoon11 (talk) 13:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, thanks for the message, the picture is now linked. I either forgot to link the file at the time or someone has deleted it without my noticing it: it is a high quality picture showing an important alternative aspect of the events around the UEFA Final and adds balance to the sensational events of the day. Excalibur (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Cloudbound You just left some complicated message on my talk page about a picture that you thought was not properly sourced or tagged or something. I have no idea what I didn't do properly. I uploaded it for a friend because he didn't know how to upload things to the wiki. He gave permission as I said in the explanation. Can you just ask him yourself? He is the photographer and is here: User:GKoskovich. thanks Saudade7 03:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello there! Your input is request at Wikipedia talk:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy. You had commented on the re-formatting discussion at WP:CVU but have yet to comment on the progress done to implement a major change discussed during the reformatting discussion, namely the training for new anti-vandals. Any input would be appreciated, thank you. Cheers! Achowat (talk) 19:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. You awarded the March drive? I was wondering if you had any plans regarding the January drive. Here we discussed the drive and we suggested that we gave out awards without checking hundreds of files. What do you think of this? --MGA73 (talk) 17:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps you could find some time to look at this? I think we need to find a solution. --MGA73 (talk) 20:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in the January 2012 MTC Drive. The drive was a big success. As a result of the drive thousands of files was transferred and many files was nominated for deletion because of copyright issues or because they were not usable. For your big work transferring files to Commons you are hereby awarded this Barnstar. MGA73 (talk) 19:14, 27 April 2012 (UTC) |

Your work in the January 2012 MTC Drive was so excellent that you are one of the users with most files moved. You are therefore awarded this Barnstar. Once again: Thank you. Hope to see you in a future MtC Drive. MGA73 (talk) 19:24, 29 April 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you, MGA73 and all others who particpated in the January drive for the "Shiny"s. I hope you do not mind, but I combined them into the multiple barnstar since they go hand and hand. Thanks for all that you do, especially in the image space. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 00:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
I looked to see if I could find an article where it had been, but I did not succeed. --SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, wanted to let you know I removed the FfD tag on File:AdfghGhjj.jpg as the nomination was never completed. I figure you may want to renominate it. Monty845 18:38, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I've copy edited the article as you requested on the GOCE page. I've requested clarification of "because of the national production rules", and there was already a ((dn)) of "Westinghouse" that I was unable to resolve. Regards, --Stfg (talk) 15:42, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Microsoft Security Essentials is now a featured article. Thanks for your assistance and support in making it possible. Codename Lisa (talk) 22:39, 20 September 2012 (UTC) |
FYI bonny finally got the federal COA diged and I posted it to the article. but not before another non reader got to it. I guess well see how long it lasts now. Brian in denver (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey,
I see you've uploaded a transparent version of the Waterstones logo - that's cool, the one flagged for deletion was the only one available at the time for the Good Article stuff I was doing. The only thing I'd suggest is the new version really should be on Commons rather than Wikipedia, but some bot will do that at some point. I also saw you moved some images to the right, not a major thing but I only placed them on the left to avoid image stacking, which doesn't look good. Either way, article still functions well so cheers for doing this, RandomArticles||Talk 23:37, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
