Orphaned non-free image File:Ibm 7090.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ibm 7090.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Kinda random...

But do you know of where one can find a downloadable copy of the doa mix? Soxwon (talk) 21:40, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Message sent, thank you for your assistance. :) Soxwon (talk) 21:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Got it, thnx Soxwon (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad you were able to locate it. Let me know what you think. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 04:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Awesome :D. Soxwon (talk) 04:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Climatic Research Unit hacking incident

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Climatic Research Unit hacking incident, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. --TS 14:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

• gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

• ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community. Matt Lewis (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

OS X image

Sorry about that. I've restored now - consensus here was definitely to keep. I got confused on this one I'm afraid (I closed a lot of them at once... there was another similar image that got me I'm afraid). Thanks for bringing this to me attention! - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 15:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

RFC

If you have any thoughts on this matter, you might want to participate in this RFC. Gamaliel (talk) 02:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I've added my thoughts, though the discussion seems to have splintered already. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Olbermann and Blaxthos

This isn't the first time that you have entered a claim made by Olbermann as a "fact". Something that you would never allow if subject were a Hannity or an O'Reilly. The reliably sourced fact that should be entered into Misplaced Pages in the case at hand is that Olbermann has stated that he has spent more time with his father. Badmintonhist (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, you are complaining about an edit about KO spending time with his ailing father. Now that is truly sad. Not something controversial, but about spending time with his father that could be on death's door step. As AI would say: "Not the game. Practice."--69.209.114.49 (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment

You posted your comment to Talk:Jim Bunning#Should "filibuster" be in the article? and I think you meant it for Talk:Jim Bunning#Missing Healthcare bill but I'm loathe to move it. ;) ∴ Therefore cogito·sum 23:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the notification! I remember wondering why my browser returned me to that section after I saved the edit... //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 23:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Software Top 100 a reliable source

Dear Blaxthos, I would like to invite you to enter again into discussing Software Top 100 as a reliable source, on my talk page. You once entered into the discussion once before on User_talk:Esoteric_Rogue#softwaretop100.org_is_not_a_reliable_source so I hope you will contribute again. Thanks! --BalderV (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Azalea Trail Maids

Hey, pleasure working with you too! I see you found a photo. I thought that "trip" would be correct because they only made one trip, but whatever you think is fine by me. Altairisfar 02:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Angler

If I had had any real doubts to start with, Kiddo, the random edit at the rather esoteric "Angler" article which was your brainchild (and which no one had touched for over three months) would have dispelled them. It would be almost as if you suspected I was impersonating an Anon and and found that this same Anon had made an edit at Margaret Varner Bloss. Besides, how many Anons engage in your level of fuss-budgetry?? As I said, however, I don't really get upset by sock puppetry. There are all sorts of "pieces of work" floating around Misplaced Pages and you just happen to be one of them. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 03:01, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
