Having noticed your recent contributions to Wikipedia following your retirement, I have reactivated your user talk page, should Wikipedians have any questions regarding your most recent edits. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:1851 Crest New1b.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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.

It looks like I made a regrettable mistake by casting my oppose vote while mistakenly ascribing to the candidate the views that belonged to a totally different person. I can't understand how I got the wrong name stuck in my head. Please see [1] [2] [3] for the background. As my vote affected your vote cast in the immediate aftermath, I would like to prompt you to this development. I already apologized to the candidate but I am also sorry to have unintentionally misled you. Please reconsider the candidate completely disregarding the issue I have mistakenly brought up. Regards, --Irpen 06:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My vote was not entirely based upon yours, but a combination of it and the responses to the questions asked of the candidate. My vote stands as it is. But thank you for the notification.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 06:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I´m adding some audio files but I can´t move the file type from .wav to .ogg. I installed Audacity but I can´t use it. Could you give me some adviceses to change the type of file, please. 213.139.161.106 (talk) 12:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You banned me several months ago for the same action that earned me a Thank You from the founder of Wikipedia. Anyone who makes that kind of decision should not be an admin here. You made the right decision to retire. Wesleymullins (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 18:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was priceless. Not only a backhanded-compliment but a pat on your own back as well. You made the wrong decision in leaving such a comment - it served even less than no purpose, if that's possible. the_undertow ^talk 04:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:HebronAcademyLogo.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Saugeenstripz.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alkivar, I have a question. Over six months ago, you were the only opposer in my second RfA. Your rationale was that after reading all 28 opposers in the first RfA, you didn't believe all the concerns listed there had been addressed, that there was no way you could support the second one, and ended it with "maybe next year". Well, it's now 2008: tell me, what concerns at the time did you believe had not been addressed, and do you believe they have been addressed now? Thanks. Acalamari 00:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't paid much attention to wiki since my desysopping, quite frankly I dont know if you've changed. But by virtue of the fact your coming to me, calm and level headed, I would guess that they have been addressed.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 01:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Image:Dontcopythatfloppy2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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 [[Talk:Image:Dontcopythatfloppy2.jpg|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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
