Thanks for uploading File:PerezPrado1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that image used to be the one to show Prado himself on his page, being the cover of his album Il Re del Mambo. But since then, apparently another image has been made available. The Pérez Prado page has no mention at all of the album, so I guess that album is no longer extant in WP space. Which means that the image really is an orphan. — Loadmaster (talk) 02:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:16, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:ChrisMuir2d.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 02:46, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I did not have the time to locate the original emails from Chris. — Loadmaster (talk) 20:04, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Archer_characters#Seven_deadly_sins what sin would Ray be? 2603:6011:6224:1800:3CCC:9F91:470C:B2DC (talk) 08:40, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. If we take Archer out of the equation, we can redistribute the sins amongst the other seven characters. Other than assigning Wrath to Lana, I can't see any difference, and we're left with nothing for Ray. He seems to have self-loathing down to a tee, but that's not a mortal sin. — Loadmaster (talk) 22:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article Wait (system call) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Back in 2018, you posted in Z8000 talk that it would be helpful if other processors had example code. You have inspired me to write various code samples. Clearly, simple code examples help understand the architectures. There is a editor who has reverted my most recent code example citing various reasons that I do not share. Furthermore, it appears that they intend to delete all code samples. If you wish, please join the discussion here. RastaKins (talk) 21:21, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
