[edit] Your article list on your user page

Hope you don't mind, I renamed the Aerosmith one. Also wanted to tell you you can make category links with a leading colon and the page won't be in the category - Category:Aerosmith songs for example. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 15:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. And thanks for the tip.Abog 15:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:5391-1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:5391-1.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Vandalism possibility

User:131.156.238.75 has been editing your user page. If this is in fact you, I highly recommend that you sign in when editing your user page, as this IP address is shared and thus must be watched due to a history of vandalism. --Kukini 17:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

I see that you have started creating templates for county information. If you would please follow how they were estabished such as Winnebage County, Illinois, this will keep us all on the same page. We established this one with the Illinois group after seeing how other states are doing theirs. Let me know if you have any questions, or Dual Freq since he is creating them. Thank you!--Kranar drogin 12:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I will get with them then about these, and make sure that we have a standard that all of them are following. Honestly, there is no reason to put population sizes down, just list the cities and click them if you want to see the population, know what I mean? I'll keep you posted if you aren't part of the Illinois Project.--Kranar drogin 21:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

We started discussing it on the Portal Talk Page, but I just started a new one one the Template Talk Page if you are interested in giving your view. Make sure you check out the Main Page to see all of the county templates.--Kranar drogin 15:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I am a bit disappointed that you deleted a number of interesting points of interest and major highways in the Kane County template. I would be interested in learning your reasonsRacepacket 00:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Algonquin, Illinois

I saw you marked Algonquin, Illinois as reading like a tourism guide, having peacock terms, etc. Your main issues in this respect relate to the lead of the article, right? Just wanting to know what to fix. Thanks. I will also try to work so everything's not a bulleted list as well, and reads more like an article. Abog 02:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The first paragraph is fine now. Thanks for cleaning it up. Under Recreation, you might want to change "Nevertheless, the quality of parks, trails, and programs is nearly unmatched." If you find any magazine articles or websites that you can reference at the bottom, it would make claims in the article more legitimate. And yes, it would be good to convert some of the bulleted lists to paragraphs. --Vossanova ^o< 15:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Aerosmith's outtakes

An editor has nominated Aerosmith's outtakes, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aerosmith's outtakes and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 13:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aerosmith in popular culture

An article that you created, Aerosmith in popular culture, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Aerosmith in popular culture Thank you. SkierRMH 08:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steven Tyler

Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Steven Tyler. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Rotring 12:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

You are absolutely right, I made a mistake; when seeing this diff I (stupidly, I must say) assumed that the content removed by 137.36.19.10 had been put by you (since the previous edit was a vandalism revertion by me, and I hadn't seen that content). I'm sincerely sorry. --Rotring 17:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. ;) --Rotring 18:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New WikiProject Illinois Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the Illinois WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Lake in the Hills neighborhoods

I do not doubt that the info you are putting up there is accurate, BUT in order for this page to become a legit page there has to be information citable for each and every fact that is posted. I mean, you can leave it up there, that is fine, you will just have to find webpages or maps or anything that is citable for the article. Until the information is confirmed, the article will never really get above a START accessment, so I am trying to help you by putting that tag up there for anyone with information or links to cite the info. That is all, not a personal slight or anything of that nature. I look at all articles as someday reach atleast "B" grade, so I would rather have the cites now rather than later. I am sure you can find something about that place on the net.--Kranar drogin 20:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Jackson

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that the "King of Pop" label for Michael Jackson is cited later on in the article. I explained this in my revert as well. Furthermore, as I also explained in the revert, the whole point of including it in the lead without a citation is that it's such a famous nickname that the general public would be able to recognize it. Citations are generally useful when a point of controversy might arise, a scenario that does not apply here.UberCryxic 04:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
