Hi Windjade. You didn't provide a source for the image (i.e., where the original image you adapted came from), so I have had to guess that it is from a Canadian government website, so would be crown copyright.

Unfortunately, the Crown copyright used in Canada is not compatible with Wikipedia's GFDL licencing (see [1]), and also Template talk:CrownCopyright). This can be confusing, as Crown Copyright works in the UK are permitted to be used on Wikipedia.

The image would also not be fair use, as it would be possible to produce an original version of the image without having to take a copy from the canadian government. I hope that this clears it up - you may wish to enquire on Wikipedia_talk:Fair use about whether or not there is an easier solution to this problem than recreating the image yourself.

An article that you have been involved in editing, Danny Graham, has been listed by me at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Graham. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Jerry lavoie 05:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC) Jerry lavoie 05:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm from WikiProject Wikify. It is our job to go through all of the articles tagged with ((wikify)) and wikify them. I've noticed you tagged Public Order & Security Division with a wikify tag, unfortunately this article is already wikified or another tag is more appropriate. The reason you tagged it incorrectly is probably due to the fact that it is not clear what the wikification process involves. Hopefully the following will give you some pointers for the future:

What Wikifying does

Wikifying an article involves 4 main things:

• Checking to see if an article duplicates existing information and tagging it with ((merge)) if it does.
• Checking an article for copyright violations and tagged with ((copyvio)) if one is found.
• Adding section headings and formatting the lead.
• Wikilinking the article.

What articles need wikification?

The best way to judge which articles need our attention is to look for the following pointers:

• Is the article divided into sections with appropriate links and section headers?
• Does the article have a lead paragraph with the title in bold?
• Does the article make adequate use of wikilinks to allow for easy navigation of the encyclopedia?

If the answer to any of these is no, add ((wikify))

If the article is obviously a copyright violation (see Wikipedia:Copyright for details or use copyscape to check the article) then tag it with ((copyvio)) - there is no need to tag it for wikification.

What wikification does not do

We do not:

• Rewrite articles with bad grammar, punctuation or bad English - that is a job for cleanup or copyediting; use ((cleanup)) or ((copyedit)) instead
• Categorise articles - use ((uncat)) instead
• Find sources for articles with none - use ((unsourced)) instead.

I hope these pointers are helpful and thank you for taking the time to tag articles for us. If you want to find out more about wikifying please visit our project page or the talk page. You may even want to join the project. Wikification can be great fun, teaches you loads of different things and gives you loads to edit - we are currently dealing with a backlog of 0 tagged articles so your help would be appreciated!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Williams Lake. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello Windjade. When you are creating headers, please do not use tier one headings, e.g. =Header= inside an article. All article sections should begin with tier two, e.g. ==Header==. For more information on Wikipedia section and header conventions, please visit Help:Section. Thank you, Mkdw ^talk 18:24, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
