== Extinct animals ==   
  
Hi, you seem to be tossing everything from the [[great auk]] to [[mammoth]]s to [[dinosaur]]s into your new [[:Category:Extinct animals]] &mdash; and I think a lot of that is already duplicated by the [[:Category:Fossils]] (and its sub-cats, like [[:Category:Prehistoric reptiles]], and [[:Category:Prehistoric mammals]]).
  
It's usually best to put something in the most specific category that applies (otherwise categories get overwhelmed by thousands of entries) so putting [[:Category:Fossils]] into [[:Category:Extinct animals]] should cover the really dead stuff. :) (''See also'': [[Conservation status]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life]] if you haven't already).

== Re: Vandalism ==

SUre, no problem. Vandalism is something that affects us all sooner or later, but if we revert quickly then it defeats the point of being a vandal. In other news, you might want to change your hurricane Katrina to hurricane Rita ;-) Just a thought.

Hello. I was wondering if you would like to participate in my classic rock survey. I'm trying to find the most liked classic rock song. There is more information on my user page. Hope you participate! {{User:Rentastrawberry/Signature}} 02:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

==Sources for List of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions==
Hello, good work on [[List of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions]], and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any [[WP:CITE|references or sources]] in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to [[WP:CITE|cite the sources]] they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in [[List of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions]]? You can simply add links, preferably as the [[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citations]], or see [[WP:CITET|citation templates]] for different citation methods. Thanks!

First of all, thanks for the {{User:Andrewh/Xmasbox}} Christmas box, I was about to create one, but I found yours.
I won't edit, your user page, but is there any chance, that you could edit the box to ''This user wishes everyone here a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year for 2006.'', to fit into the style, of the other wikipedia user boxes

:Could you also create a ''This user wishes everyone here happy holidays and a prosperous [[New Year]] for [[2006]]'' and/or a [[Hanukah]] box?  I would do so, but I do not know how, and I would like a non-religion specific userbox on my userpage.

==Favorite Songs==

My survey has changed. I am now continuing my mission for the best songs, but now I am accepting all genres. I'm giving you a chance to revote for your top ten favorite songs of any genres (not just classic rock which is still the best). I've made a executive decision to keep the existing survey results and just add on to that with the new entries. My feeling for doing this is because classic rock is the most influential genre in music currently so it should be expressed more in the survey. Thank you for contributing in the past, and hopefully in the future. ROCK ON.

You are very welcome...though it does change the actual number of userboxes used...you now have only 40 instead of 42 userboxes.

== [[:Image:London2012.png]] ==
Hello, Andrewh. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under [[Wikipedia:fair use|fair use]] that was in your userspace. The image ([[:Image:London2012.png]]) was found at the following location: [[User:Andrewh/Archive]]. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy|non-free content policy]]. The image or media was replaced with [[:Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg]] , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or     media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. [[User:Gnome (Bot)]][[User talk:Gnome (Bot)|-talk]] 05:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

== Bulleted list problem? ==
:<span style="font-size:x-small;">'''''N.B.:''' Copied from [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]] to my talk page for future reference.'' '''[[User:Andrewh|Andrew]]''' <span style="font-size: 8pt;">''([[User_talk:Andrewh|My talk]])''</span> ''14:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)''</span>

I have noticed that carriage returns in bulleted lists are currently being counted as separate lists when using templates. Below is an example.

* [http://photos.ltmcollection.org London's Transport Museum Photographic Archive]
** {{ltmcollection|ia/i00009ia.jpg|Passengers boarding a train at Covent Garden, 1921}}
** {{ltmcollection|i9/i00009i9.jpg|Looking down station platform, 1921}}
** {{ltmcollection|pr/i00001pr.jpg|Piccadilly line train at station platform, 1923}}
** {{ltmcollection|25/9887525.jpg|Station facade, 1925}}
** {{ltmcollection|34/9864334.jpg|Booking hall, 1928}}
** {{ltmcollection|31/9864331.jpg|Another view of booking hall, 1928}}
** {{ltmcollection|zz/i0000czz.jpg|Lift with ticket inspector, 1936}}
** {{ltmcollection|49/9859649.jpg|Station facade, 1937}}

In this list, the subitems (except the first) appears with two bullets (they weren't before). However, I can remove the superfluous bullet by removing the carriage returns:

* [http://photos.ltmcollection.org London's Transport Museum Photographic Archive]
** {{ltmcollection|ia/i00009ia.jpg|Passengers boarding a train at Covent Garden, 1921}}** {{ltmcollection|i9/i00009i9.jpg|Looking down station platform, 1921}}** {{ltmcollection|pr/i00001pr.jpg|Piccadilly line train at station platform, 1923}}** {{ltmcollection|25/9887525.jpg|Station facade, 1925}}** {{ltmcollection|34/9864334.jpg|Booking hall, 1928}}** {{ltmcollection|31/9864331.jpg|Another view of booking hall, 1928}}** {{ltmcollection|zz/i0000czz.jpg|Lift with ticket inspector, 1936}}** {{ltmcollection|49/9859649.jpg|Station facade, 1937}}

I noticed this in the External Links in the [[Covent Garden tube station]] article, which I fixed. Is this happening with anyone else? '''[[User:Andrewh|Andrew]]''' <span style="font-size: 8pt;">''([[User_talk:Andrewh|My talk]])''</span> 16:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:It always happens to me on Firefox, and never happens to me on IE. The carriage returns in such a list are supposed to split it into separate lists from the software's point of view. (It also happens with the other sorts of lists, including definition lists (:) which are used on talk pages, but the effect is only obvious with bulleted and numbered lists.)
:Some more examples:

::An indented definition list

::using double spacing (the HTML is wrong, but it looks reasonably right)

:#A numbered list
:#using single spacing

:#but with a double space before this line

:*A bulleted list inside a definition list

:*with a carriage return between each line

**A bulleted list inside a bulleted list

**with a carriage return between each line

::::::::::This is a 10-times-indented with colons comment
***********Indented 11 times with stars
::::::::::::Indented 12 times with colons

:As you can see, there are all sorts of problems caused by these sorts of things; some show up in Firefox, and some show up in Internet Explorer. In some cases, the HTML is 'wrong' but all browsers I know of show it correctly anyway. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:27, 4 September 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])
::(If you're wondering; IE has a double-size break inside the bulleted list inside the bulleted list, and a really massive break before the 11-times-indented line; Firefox shows 11 bullets on the 11-times-indented line and 2 bullets on each of the bulleted-inside-bulleted lines, and both browsers go back to 1 for the third element of the numbered list.) --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 16:31, 4 September 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

:<span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Ltmcollection&diff=155657209&oldid=155526897 Fixed]</span>. The template you were using contained an extraneous linebreak which caused the parser to decide each bullet was a separate list.
:As for those other problems [[User:ais523]] mentioned, I've never had much trouble as long as a few points are remembered:
:#Don't put blank lines in the wikitext in the middle of the list.
:#To insert a linebreak in the middle of a numbered/bulleted list item, use <nowiki><br /></nowiki> (without a linebreak in the wikitext) to avoid starting a new list item.<br /><!--
-->Like this. Comments can be used to hide the wikitext-linebreak if you really want a wikitext-linebreak in there.
:#When nesting, repeat the preceding formatting. So for the "10 colons, 11 stars, 12 colons" example above, this should "work":
::::::::::This is a 10-times-indented with colons comment
::::::::::*Indented 11 times with stars
::::::::::*:Indented 12 times with colons
:[[User:Anomie|Anomie]] 16:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
::Agreed. It's surprising how often I have to refactor discussion pages to avoid such problems, though... --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 17:04, 4 September 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

== Replaceable fair use Image:FM_Towns_Marty.jpg ==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:FM_Towns_Marty.jpg]]'''. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:FM_Towns_Marty.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:FM_Towns_Marty.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' 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, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our [[WP:FUC|Fair Use policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

==Swanage Railway Works==

Your tidy up the diagram on this article was fair enough mostly: however, the status of Swanage Railway works is not an error. Due to an inability to agree terms with local landowners the works are not at present connected to the railway. I've used a "Legende" marker for them to try to stop this understandable error from happening again (I did the same thing myself some time ago). [[User:Britmax|Britmax]] 14:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

:Hey, that's okay [[Image:Smiley.svg|16px|:-)]]. I just thought it made the diagram look untidy, but if the works aren't linked, then it's better to keep the diagram accurate and keep the works separated from the rest of the line.

'''More information:''' [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12]]


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a [[:Category:Wikipedians in London|Wikipedian in London]], so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London|social meetups]]. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

[[User:Jdforrester|James F.]] ([[User talk:Jdforrester|talk]]) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

==Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice==
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford|Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference]]. Please see [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford#Local team|here]] for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to [[m:Wikimedia UK v2.0|the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page]] and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 13|the next London meet-up]] at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch [[Wikipedia:Meetup]], for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Vote-icon.PNG]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=upload&user=Andy this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 18:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== You are now a Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|1=reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 04:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

== WikiProject Human spaceflight activity ==

Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Human spaceflight/Members|list of members]] of WikiProject Human spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

==London Wikimedia Fundraiser==
Good evening! This is a friendly message from [[User:Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry]], inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an [[Eigenharp]], a [[mulled wine]] hot tub, a free [[hog roast]], a [[haybale]] [[amphitheatre]] and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - [[User:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry]] ([[User talk:Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry|talk]]) 18:03, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for December 30==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[List of northernmost items]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Alert]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_northernmost_items|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_northernmost_items|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]].

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]].

== Possible removal of AWB access due to inactivity ==

Hello! There is currently a [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/MusikBot_II|request for approval]] of a bot to manage the [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage|CheckPage]] by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/MusikBot_II|BRFA]]. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be ''uncontroversially'' removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at [[WP:PERM/AWB]].
