What do you want as source? Should I link the DSW election results over the past 50 years? --Irishpunktom\^talk 10:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, its gone. There is a SF councellor in every Tallaght LE district. --Irishpunktom\^talk 10:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I spotted one error on the map of the evolution of the British Empire. Calais was an important part of England until its capture in 1558, but is not shown as a possession in the year 1492. 24.158.117.96 16:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rinuccini.JPG}

Thank you for uploading Image:Rinuccini.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an

image copyright tag

; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Primate. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

I don't know if your edits were intended as a joke, but the

Fair enough, I will not edit it again. The intention was not vandalism however but I can understand it might be seen that way. To clarify, it was partly intended as a joke (yes it's a pun on the word primate as well) but I was trying to make a serious point at the same time by using as an example of homo sapiens a member of an institution that continues to deny evolution etc. Never mind...

Hello,

The British only controlled the modern day Somaliland. In the animation you can see that the British control the Somali coast, but that it incorrect. The British never controlled the Somali coast between 1822 and 1855. They only had administrational power there after WWII, until 1960. Thank you. Runehelmet (talk) 14:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerry, I've reverted your attempt to add a featured article candidacy (FAC) notice to Talk:Charles Boycott. Firstly, you need to create a FAC page. Secondly, and most importantly, I very strongly recommend that you have someone with expertise about the topic and access to sources available when nominating an article for featured status I have neither of these; it'd be best to contact the primary author of the article, Quasihuman, first.
