Jedit for everyone (else)

Could you post the links to Jedit install jar on Wikipedia:Bootcamp, plus links to the three wikipedia jars? That would be really helpful since I'm on a different machine today.. - Amgine

MHD generator

I saw the edit. I was just interpreting [1] inso far as the polar aurorae. What do you feel it says? -- Dbroadwell

I think if I can interpret german bablefished to english i can reword what you've got. Thanks. I didn't think it was right pointing to polar aurora, but hey, Be Bold! -- Dbroadwell 02:04, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mano cornuto

Sponge, thanks for fact checking. You are probably right that I jumped on it a bit too far, but the cover picture of Yellow Submarine really does look more like the horns than it does like "I love you". I removed the link as well since it alone is potentially more misleading than helpful. —BenFrantzDale 06:05, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

An award for your anniversary

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse emblem.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse emblem.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse emblem.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse emblem.png. 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 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:14, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
