NowCommons: File:Steamboat Bay Port Carling.JPG

File:Steamboat Bay Port Carling.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Steamboat Bay Port Carling.JPG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Steamboat Bay Port Carling.JPG]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 06:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Mxtt.prior. I noticed that in this edit to Pope Symmachus, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mxtt.prior (talk) 18:44, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cap'n, need your help with some trolls. I am a board member of Atheist Alliance International (you can confirm this here), and a group of bad actors are trying to damage the organization reputation (John Hamill and his Free thought Prophet podcast) and continue to vandalize our page.

Yesterday I updated the Criticisms section, and one their little minions, Martin C Boers, undid all the changes. A check of Hamill's twitter profile will confirm Boers is one of his sycophants. May I please request this article be locked to prevent them from continuously tampering with it:

Proposed deletion of File:Golden Pavillion.JPG

The file File:Golden Pavillion.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Small, low-res. Hundreds of alternatives available at c:Category:Full-frame views of the Golden Pavilion.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 06:56, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
