Why not, instead of putting a picture of the GRS, why not a picture of the Activeworlds Gate? It is the default entry point and would make more sense. --GSK (talk) 02:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
It was the only picture I had on hand at the time, due to the "non free" image being removed. I have a bit more research to do.

Stop!
Stop editing other messages as you are doing here, here, here and here. This is a violation of policy. Thanks, CWii(Talk|Contribs) 14:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would think that:
- The messages are on my own talk page,
- The messages edited were created by bots,
- The titles sum up each message.
- CompuHacker (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Even so, you shouldn't edit others' messages. If it's a violation of Wikipedia policy, it's a violation, no matter which way you look at it. --GSK (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia guidelines concerning this discussion are as follows
- "On your own user talk page, you may remove others' comments, although archiving is generally preferred."
- As a matter of semantics, I removed the comments and not the signatures. Also stated in an above section is
- "As a rule, do not edit others' comments, including signatures. Exceptions are described in the next section."
- I believe that ignoring this rule in this instance is improving Wikipedia. I still maintain that the titles adequately explain what was "discussed" (I never responded) in each section. That is all I have to say right now, enjoy your afternoon.

CompuHacker (talk) 16:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Really stop. You're not improving it at all. You're making it harder by making users have to look through your history for the messages. And no, not all the messages were from bots. CWii(Talk|Contribs) 12:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- All the messages that were edited are best summed up by their title. Having simply the title should be enough information for any casual reader, and if you really want to read a computer generated readout about something that happened half a year ago, then you can fall back on the history of this page. Three of the four messages were made by bots, something I overlooked before. However, the titles fully convey the message in a single sentence normally conveyed by that and a paragraph AND the title of each section is linked to a long and tedious paragraph that I am sure you, GSK, and everyone else on Wikipedia has read a thousand times before. I really don't want to see it needlessly cluttering the page when the current version will suffice. CompuHacker (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- So will now stop doing this from now on, correct? CWii(Talk|Contribs) 17:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- English much? Anyway, I will stop. Or, I will start offloading image notices to separate pages. CompuHacker (talk) 17:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Club, do us all a favor and stop adding so childish. It gets annoying, not to mention a lot of enemies in life. --GSK (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

re: xkcd revert
The reason there is mouseover text in the lower image is because it is a thumb in the main text and not in the infobox; as far as I know, image captions in thumbs are automatically used as mouseover text, whereas in an infobox the image, image caption, and mouseover text are all given as separate fields. In other words, no user purposely put mouseover text in the "Wikipedian Protester" image, it just shows up because the user gave a caption. If you want to put mouseover text on the infobox image, that's ok, but the mouseover text should either be the same as the image caption ('Panel from "Philosophy"') or should specifically attribute the mouseover text to Munroe (i.e., "The mouseover text for this comic was...."). Personally, I don't see any encyclopaedic value in adding mouseover text for that image; the purpose of the article is to inform readers about xkcd, not to replicate xkcd. That's just my two cents. —Politizer( talk • contribs ) 01:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Osmos4.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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 08:29, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Yahoo2.png
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20130313130913im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Yahoo2.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 19:17, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, here we are again.
It's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice? Oh, how we laughed and laughed, except I wasn't laughing. Under the circumstances, I've been shockingly nice.
Hello again, CompuHacker. It's been a while. Well, I guess if you count a couple of days as "a while." I'm back and here to wreak havoc on this place called Wikipedia. We should really do challenge co-op sometime. All of it. Maybe we can do a 24 hour sort of deal even though it probably won't take 24 hours. Cheers. -- GSK (t ● c) 21:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:U3launch.PNG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

- Manufacture a rationale, per other software pages. Maybe shop the Geek Squad logo out, I realize now, 6 years later, that it's not a standard feature. ζompuλacker (tlk) 17:10, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
