Thanks

Thanks but just one question, why do people bother editing/creating/moving articles, i mean, is there any benefit or status within the Wikipedia community that we get?

Alehay 15:03, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Benefit: Other than barnstars, the only benefit is the knowledge that you're assisting in the construction of the first open source compilation of all human knowledge.

Status: Well, there's those barnstars, and there's also administrators and bureaucrats; they do alot of the sensitive functions, but in theory, everybody is the boss. For any more questions, please ask at my talk page. Karmafist 15:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Articles to work on

Responding to the question you just posted:

I tend to just surf through on the fly and find articles that could use improvement. However, there is a pretty good system you can use:
- Go to the Sports stubs category, and its associated subcategories. This lists mainly non-biography stubs, although some bios may have fallen through the cracks.
- For sports biographies, go to the Sportspeople stubs category, and its associated subcategories.
- Go to Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports and look for articles you'd like to create.

Hope this helps you out! Dale Arnett 00:44, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Fable boxart.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Fable boxart.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fable boxart.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fable boxart.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. BetacommandBot 15:15, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Alehay! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 522 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
