Orphaned non-free image File:Peta toplogo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Peta toplogo.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you

Good, much-needed block. Thanks; well done. Strange Passerby (talkcstatus) 09:28, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Is this in regard to user:Bad edits r dumb? I'm going to say that I do not agree with this block, or the general reaction to this editor. This is not an attempt to change your mind (because it's clear what the community consensus is), but to indicate that the majority opinion is not universally held. It was not Mr. r dumb's edits that were the problem, but rather the community response to them. Buddy431 (talk) 18:31, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is. And yes, the edits were a problem. I cannot believe the community withheld judgment on a user evidently not here to be constructive for so very very long. Almost 80KB of text was typed about him - he was a self-confessed sockpuppet, he was using an almost unintelligible method of communication - frankly, he's a fairly obvious troll, and I fail to see how anything less than an indefinite block would be appropriate in this situation.  f o x  11:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

As ever, anything contestants worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Despite controversy, the WikiCup remains open. Signups for next year's competition are more than welcome, and suggestions for how next year's competition will work are appreciated at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup/Scoring. More general comments and discussions should be directed at the WikiCup talk page. One month remains in the 2010 WikiCup, after which we will know our champion. Good luck everyone!
