Kira Nerys/Mirror Kira
Is there a wiki article on the mirror Kira? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually no there isn't. I'm currently at odds with where to put the LGBT link. Normal Kira I believe should not have it, maybe the specific episode or the mirror universe article. I don't really know. Gdo01 00:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Centipede's Dilemma
Nice work with the sectioning - really aids the readability. Lokicarbis 15:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Please review this newest AfD, your opinion would be appreciated. PT (s-s-s-s) 00:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Notability
When articles are started they should have some substance; I'm just tagging them and not requesting speedy deletion. Y control 18:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- You'd better check again. You speedied dealspl.us, and now it's gone. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Calvin Johnson and Reggie Ball
I'm glad to contribute and help keep track of what Ball and Johnson are doing. :) Calvin and Reggie are the best players the Jackets have right now and I'm glad to see they're making an imprint in the GT record books. They at least deserve that much. - SamtheBravesFan
West Pensacola, Florida
I see that you inserted the "expand" tag on the article. Other than what I recently added, there's very little more to add since it's only an unincorporated suburban area (of Pensacola) and a census-designated place. --Moreau36 16:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- While it is unincorporated, there is stuff there. I'm sure the article could be continued. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Joe Smith (Missouri politician)
Please use the move function, instead of copy-and-paste, when renaming a page. This avoids splitting the page history in several places. (I'll fix it shortly) -Will Beback 01:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

- Sorry, didn't know. Thanks for the FYI. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- I also did Calvin Johnson --> Calvin Johnson (musician) recently. You might have to "take care" of that one, too. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Most new users make that mistake. I'll take care of it. -Will Beback 20:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
How's it going?
Thanks for asking. I'm doing great! I wish that I'd joined wiki a long time ago. It' so much better being a memeber than an anonymous user. --Faris b 16:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm still learning things, myself. Glad you're having fun :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 16:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Something you might want to try: a custom signature. It's nice to put a direct link to your talk page in your sig. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info on custom sigs but I prefer to keep my sig simple. --Faris b 21:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Vandal reporting
Regarding please make sure that vandals have been stepped through the test4 warning before reporting them on WP:AIV. Thanks. JoshuaZ 01:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Russ Chandler Stadium
So what's up with the cleanup tag on my article? Anything in particular you think needs to be corrected/fixed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RamblinWreck (talk • contribs).
RfA thanks

Thank you so much, Disavian, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC) |
Anonym users list?
Would there happen to be a list of anonymous IP addresses that were used to browse/edit Wiki? I couldn't find one? Previsouly, when I was an anonym user before I joined, I had a page and I had another one back in 2004 but I lost track of it (it was just an IP address) since we moved so I am hoping there is a list that I can search for it at. I have an IP address that was simmilar to my own which was only 2 digits off and if I can find a list, I can probably find my old one, the reason I need it is because I had a message that I never got to read.
Thanks, Faris b 06:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know of one. The best bet is to go through articles you know you edited and look for an IP that might have been yours. I looked through IP addresses, and yours is the only one with messages between 66.116.31.00 and 66.116.31.255. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. However, I did a search on my computer for the IP address that I was looking for, using the simmilar one as a base and I found my old anon page! Apparently, it says I don't have any messages in my talk page, could they have been deleted? I get the "create a talk page" box, not a blanked out one.
- Thanks, Faris b 18:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- If it's been deleted, there will be an entry in the page's "deletion log." —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- I checked the logs and it found nothing but I am almost sure that I had a message. Thanks though because I saw the "You have new messages header" but I never clicked on it in time. --Faris b 20:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- If it's been deleted, there will be an entry in the page's "deletion log." —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Ivan Allen College
Precedent from articles like University of California, Berkeley motivated my actions for the most part, although length was also a problem. In the Berkeley example, named colleges (e.g. Goldman School of Public Policy) use just the college name in the article title, whereas unnamed colleges (e.g. UC Berkeley College of Engineering) also use the university name prefix ("UC Berkeley") to distinguish them. Only the Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech is named, so that's the only one that I modified. Again, using Berkeley as a model, I might want to see the Georgia Tech unnamed college article titles truncated to "Georgia Tech" rather than the verbose "Georgia Institute of Technology." MaxVeers 23:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- I was using the model of a sub-article from the Georgia Institute of Technology; kind of like how the category was renamed to match the article name/official school name. I was just going with that. So if there's a precedent for something else, especially if that college is a featured article, it's cool with me. On a side note, do you prefer "History of Georgia Tech" or "History of the Georgia Institute of Technology" ? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 01:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- The renaming of the category from Georgia Tech to Georgia Institute of Technology matches the precedent of MIT. Likewise, MIT's history sub-article is titled History of MIT rather than History of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so I'd prefer following that precedent as well (History of Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech in popular culture, etc.).

WikiProject Georgia Tech
I think I'm about ready to move it out of my userspace, but I'd like you to have a look at it before I do so. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 20:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think the WikiProject page looks pretty good! Have you looked at laying out the "Articles to work on" section in a full-width box, though? It is very long, admittedly, but it's kind of distracting having things off to the left of it for its entire length. • WarpFlyght (talk) 20:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- I could move the images, templates, and categories sections to the right, but then the page feels "lopsided" to me. Perhaps you'd like a project subpage with a {{todo}} box that points to that list as its content? The title of the section could be a link to that subpage, and it's an easy matter to redirect the todo box content to the /Article subpage. A little complex, yes. But it sounds workable. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- How does this look? It is currently linked from the title of the "Articles to work on" page. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Looks great! I say go for it. Send me a note when you get it copied out of your userspace! :) • WarpFlyght (talk) 21:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Ivan Allen and Chateau de Sully aircrash
Do you have a source for that addition? I'm not disputing that it occured, but the article could use some refs. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:CalvinJohnson.jpg
FYI, media photos are almost never permitted. Please see WP:FAIR#Counterexamples #5.
Here's a simple way to understand what "fair use" is - if I create a work, you can use my work in an article about that work itself. You can usually use my work in an article about me. But you cannot use my work for commentary on a third party.
The whole idea with fair use images is that if you are doing an article about, say, a TV show, it is patently impossible to create a "free" version of an image pertaining to that show. The production company owns the rights to it. Even if you were to show up on their set and take a photo of their actors, they would still have rights to it. So we use a screenshot of the TV show because there is no such thing as a free version. Similarly, if you are writing an article about a company, there is no such thing as a free equivalent of that company's logo.
But in the case of a random celebrity who is still living today, there is a free equivalent. Anyone can show up at a GT football game and take a photo of Calvin Johnson. If you visit a GT message board, you might find someone who has taken a photo of him and would be willing to release it into the public domain.
Because a free photo of Calvin Johnson could be created, it is inappropriate on Wikipedia to use a non-free one.
I hope this explanation helps ... please let me know if I can explain further. BigDT 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Census Updates for FL
Same deal here as above. I'm happy to have new data, but I'd like to reference it. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 16:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I got my info from the Census Website, under the Estimates Category. Then selected counties, folowed by selecting Florida. http://www.census.gov/popest/counties/tables/CO-EST2005-01-12.xls
im super new to this, not sure if this is how i respond or not. you can reference it if youd like. im just a pop freak and wanted to update these places. Phantomksu 17:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC) phantomksu
Georgia Tech Cable Network
You wrote:
What category would it go in, then?
- Beats the heck outta me. I posed the question on the TelevisionStationsProject talk page to see if anyone could help out. All I know is that the Infobox Broadcast template is more geared to indiviual television stations. There is another infobox used, Template:Infobox Network that is more geared to traditional over-the-air networks, but again, I doubt very much that that would apply, either. dhett 08:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Momocon
I'm not sure how to format the MomoCon wiki page, but I copy and pasted it and updated the test (pasted below) if you would format it for me? I can email it to you if you want.
Thanks! ~Jess~ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jesspanda (talk • contribs) 18:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
