-==AfD nomination of [[John Diefenbaker]]==
-[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|left|48px|]]An editor has nominated [[John Diefenbaker]], an article on which you have worked or that you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion]].  We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "[[WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is not]]").
-Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at {{#if:John Diefenbaker | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Diefenbaker]] | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Diefenbaker]] }} and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
-You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the [[WP:AfD|articles for deletion]] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.  Thank you.<!-- Template:AFDNote --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 04:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
-==Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rum Sodomy and the Lash Pogues album cover.jpg)==
-[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Rum Sodomy and the Lash Pogues album cover.jpg]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|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. [[WP:BOLD|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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Orphaned --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 02:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
-==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The Waterboys Album cover.jpg==
-Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:The Waterboys Album cover.jpg]]'''. 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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

-==Tabla Taskforce==
-Hi jkelly.  I've proposed a Wiki [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Tabla|Tabla taskforce]] to help clean up the tabla related pages and construct those that are missing.  Your participation would be much appreciated.  You can see the proposal [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Tabla|at this link]].

-== Indef block on [[User:Condolence]] ==
-Hi, I noticed that a newbie user, [[User:Condolence]], has been blocked indefinitely, the reason given being that he's not here to create an encyclopedia. I'm just trying to find out a little more about whether such a block is reasonable, since it doesn't fit any of the criteria in the [[WP:BLOCK|blocking policy]].
-Condolence has never edited an article, but he has made suggestions on talk pages. He's obviously not used to scholarly work or research, or the inner workings of WP, but he wasn't being disruptive, and I've seen nothing to suggest he was acting in bad faith. I think what happened is he applied to become an admin, and some of the other admins assumed he was mocking the system. I asked the blocking admin at [[User talk:Ryulong#Indef block on User:Condolence]] to clarify how this block fits with WP policy, and didn't get a very enlightening response. I'm particularly surprised at the block being indefinite, since this is supposedly reserved for extreme cases of vandalism and disruption.
-Condolence has since returned as [[User:Condalence]], and is currently struggling to create the article [[Gray magic]]; he was previously told that the only way to redeem himself was to create an article with references, a somewhat arbitrary requirement, I think. I believe he's just a newbie user who has been too timid to start editing pages yet, but is excited by Wikipedia and wants to learn how to contribute. So what if he's made lots of edits to his user page? It's giving him practice at editing, and it's hardly a load on the servers, is it?
-Just looking for another opinion, since Ryulong has failed to satisfactorily answer my questions. Thank-you kindly, [[User:Fuzzypeg|Fuzzypeg]][[User talk:Fuzzypeg|★]] 05:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
