message: I am writing into SquelchBot some customised warnings (next to the uw-spam templates) due to some issues that keep coming up.  Currently the sentences in the warnings are (see Special:Contributions/SquelchBot, on the user talk pages):
* for media files, jpg, gif, png, mp3 etc.  Think about imageshack and similar:
** If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to (see Linking to copyrighted works).  Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
* for blog, forum, groups:
** If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly.  Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), they are not written by a recognised, reliable source or contain original research.  Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest)..
I think it needs some tweaking, comments welcome (also, if there are other general types which require some explanation, I can add that as well).  Thanks.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A year or two ago I translated this article from de.wikipedia and buffed it up to FA status - very few english sources were available apart from Angelfire.com - there were plenty of German ones. Objections were raised during the FAC that the Angelfire website wasn't a particularly reliable source, being a personal website. However, I argued that the content on Angelfire was an accurate representation of the reliable German sources, but gave readers the opportunity to read about the building in another english source. I note IG Farben Building is now in one of your lists - does this mean anything? What will be happening to the contents of the list - should I remove the references to Angelfire from the article?
