== Replaceable fair use Image:Maronexample.PNG ==

[[Image:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]]

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Maronexample.PNG]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:Maronexample.PNG|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.

# On [[Image talk:Maronexample.PNG|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|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 <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. 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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <small>Do you want to [[Template:Bots#Message notification opt out|opt out]] of receiving this notice?</small><!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> [[User:Melesse|Melesse]] ([[User talk:Melesse|talk]]) 22:34, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

== HP iPod ==

Hi, I saw you edited the hp box, just to let you know there was iPod's that were from HP and Apple. They were regular iPods with the HP logo.

== 简体字 and 繁体字 ==

Hi, thanks for your edits to [[Chinese verbs]]! I just wanted to say, I noticed that in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chinese_verbs&diff=prev&oldid=256587417 this edit] you switched out the traditional characters for simplified characters. I don't know what the official policy is on this matter, and personally I prefer simplified characters, but my rule of thumb has been to go with whatever was originally present in the article...I take the simplified/traditional character thing on WP to be similar to the rule [[WP:ENGVAR|WP:Don't switch between national varieties of English]]. The gist is, if an article is about something that makes it more natural to use one style, go with that (for example, an article about the ROC or HK might be more likely to be in traditional characters), and if it's ambiguous, just go with whatever the original version of the article can.

Again, these are only my impressions, and not Wikipedia policy; if you think there is a good reason to replace simplified with traditional characters, we could go ask the people at [[WP:WikiProject China|WikiProject China]], who might know of an official policy.

That's all. Thank you for your contributions! &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 08:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:I'm pretty sure they're equally preferable&mdash;just like how American English and British English are equally preferable (with exceptions like I mentioned above...articles about the British Parliament would prefer British English, articles about American football would prefer American English, and articles about math wouldn't prefer either one over the other). I think the rule of thumb is to go check and see if the topic is more relevant to one or the other (for example, if the article is about the ROC, or about calligraphy, traditional characters might be better), and if neither one is more relevant, just go with whatever is there already. Me, for example, when I create a new article I use simplified characters because I like them and I know them better than traditional. But if I start editing an article that was already written in traditional characters, I use traditional characters for my edits as well, to keep things matching. I think the most important thing is just that ''within'' an article we're consistent.

== IPhone nano listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] ==

[[File:Information.svg|40px|left]]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect [[IPhone nano]]. Since you had some involvement with the ''IPhone nano'' redirect, you might want to participate in [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 August 16#IPhone nano|the redirect discussion]] if you have not already done so. <!-- from Template:RFDNote --> - [[User:TheChampionMan1234|The]][[User talk:TheChampionMan1234|ChampionMan]][[Special:Contributions/TheChampionMan1234|1234]] 08:55, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] ==

Hi,<br>

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]]. For the Election committee, [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:40, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
