[edit] Thanks and well wishes
Hey FireFox, although Esperanza is done with, I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into it, making it a great place for all. We can still hold the sense of community within ourselves, and I know you do that anyway. Many thanks, and I look forward to seeing you around Wikipedia post-Esperanza. Happy Holidays! -- Natalya 04:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that! (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Celebrity_Big_Brother_2007_%28UK%29&diff=prev&oldid=98250111) just an edit conflict... - Jack (talk) 20:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oi?
What's this about I wonder?? [2] KOS | talk 21:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- I got bored with having a userpage :) — FireFox 22:26, 12 January 2007
- I just 'borowed' most of your monobook, thanks in absentia :) --Alf melmac 16:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, no problem. — FireFox 16:50, 13 January 2007
- Everything is fine with it, I think I got all your personal stuff out while keeping the warnings the same as you use, however, even though I set false to each of the types of pages I don't wish to watch, it is still setting them as watched, is there another line I can't spot which is setting talk pages to watched, my watchlist is already big enough ;) --Alf melmac 18:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm. I'm not quite sure. I wasn't aware my monobook automatically watched certain pages for me... like what, for example? — FireFox 18:43, 13 January 2007
- All talk pages that any of the messages are put on; the lines in the monobook are written like -
- addlilink(talkm,'javascript:edit_summary_watch("{{subst:User:FireFox/1}}", "vandalism warning (1)", false, 1)',"test 1");
- which should not end up being watched, the "false" in that place should uncheck the box, maybe it's a caching problem and it'll go away after a full clear out and reboot.--Alf melmac 18:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Odd. My monobook doesn't add anything to my watchlist automatically. Strange... — FireFox 19:11, 13 January 2007
- AH KOS!! You have just mentioned the reason I changed my monobook.js to start with, the messages tabs had disappeared and I couldn't find anyone who knew who'd changed what had affected it!--Alf melmac 20:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Um... I had the problem of for some reason, when the tabs appear too far to the right of the screen, they disappear. I don't know why, so I just had to put up with it :( — FireFox 20:22, 13 January 2007
- Oh yes, I checked my default settings and (ahem) <blushes> I have watchlisted all pages I create, which includes anon and new user talk pages, where I was seeing what I thought was a problem (ahem) <blushes more> --Alf melmac 20:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- A ha :) — FireFox 20:57, 13 January 2007
- I just 'borowed' most of your monobook, thanks in absentia :) --Alf melmac 16:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wikiglitch.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Wikiglitch.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. —Bkell (talk) 11:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dennis Priestley/"World" titles
Hi there
Noticed on the Priestley page that you expressed that a world title solely refers to World Championships. I see the logic of the statement as the World Championship is undoubtedly the premier event in both camps. I also feel, however, that the tournaments that start with "World" (ie Matchplay, Grand Prix, Masters) are also world titles in terms of both stature and definition.
I have nothing concrete for such an assertion although I've often read in darts players autobiographies of certain players' world title successes who have never won a world championship (ie Alan Warriner, Rod Harrington; Bobby George's books also refers to his News of the World wins as "world titles" (something I disagree with). I've also heard the likes of Waddell refer to the likes of Lloyd and Harrington and refer to their world titles (ie "of all his (Harringtons) world titles, the 1998 matchplay at Blackpool was his best.")
At best, I feel its a moot point. Referring to non-World Championship events as world titles may be a technically incorrect colloqualism, but then - if they aren't to be considered as world titles - why is there inconsistency in the names of the major events (ie Desert Classic, Darts League, World Grand Prix, Premier League, World Matchplay etc).
Looking at the contributions you've made on most of the darts-related pages, you obviously know more about darts than me and I'm not saying your interpretation's wrong. I feel that any authority on the subject (ie from the BDO or PDC) would be welcome nonetheless.

[edit] questions
Hello. I've been tasked with updating my company's pages on Wikipedia. In doing so, I'm getting notes about copyright infringement. How can I say that we approve the use of our own materials? Does this happen to other organizations and companies? Thanks! Karencohick 21:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Okay well, it's a bit of a grey area I'm afraid. If you're up for a bit of reading, see Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ – basically, it's not a good idea to copy text directly from websites because it can be seen as a copyright violation. The best thing to do would be to re-write the information in your own words and submit that instead. That way, the article (or part of the article) is safe from potentially being deleted because of copyright issues. Hope this answers your question. — FireFox 21:32, 30 January 2007
-
- I just want to make sure I understand completely. Even though, my organization says it's ok to publish our information here and will provide whatever is necessary to ensure that, I still have to rewrite all the information? Is there a way to maybe atribute all of it or some of it instead? Perhaps using footnotes for some of the information that is less easy to rewrite - facts, data, research? Karencohick 22:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- If your organisation clarifies on their website that the contents of the website can be used freely, or explicitly state the text can be used on Wikipedia, then I see no reason why this should be a problem :) However if other editors cannot find proof that your organisation allows the direct 'publishing' of your information on this site, I cannot guarantee that it will be accepted. — FireFox 21:50, 30 January 2007

- Ok I can look into that. For data points and specific breast cancer facts, how do attribute them? I'm not sure I can rewrite those without losing their meaning and credibility.Karencohick 22:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Could you give me an example of one of two of these facts that you're referring to? Thanks. — FireFox 21:27, 31 January 2007

[edit] Sig question
Hello FireFox,
I'm a new member of Wikipedia. You're well known and know a lot about Wikipedia, so I have a question for you. Do you put in links in your signature with the usual "a href" command or something else? ygugsa295 04:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- This page should help :) Basically, [[User:FireFox]] will create a link to User:FireFox. Hope this helps, — FireFox 17:44, 06 February 2007

[edit] New AfD for Bruce McMahan Biographical Stub
Dear Mr. Murray, I have sent you a couple emails and just figured out how to use your talk page. As I indicated I am rather new to editing Wikipedia, usually I use it as a reference. In fact, I was inspired to name my company after reading a Wikipedia article... Anyway, I have nominated the Bruce McMahan biographical stub for deletion for the third time. I know this is a highly contested stub, and I was getting rather tired of the way the discussion was going -- a lot of partisanship out there.... I have posted my arguments for the deletion, namely that the original newspaper articles constitute the worst kind of yellow journalism and for Wikipedia to rely on them as sources weakens Wikipedia as a source... as a journalist and an academic the reliability of my sources matters to me.... obviously you must consider my analysis yourself and see what you think. I have read all the guidelines and done my best. You should know that I have no immediate plans to publish my research; I have simply posted the rough draft of the findings I have on one case. (I am conducting a long term research project on the viral spin effect of the internet adds to print media that will take at least two years to complete). The Mcmahan case is one example of several cases I am following; now that I have made a personal contribution I will probably not be able to use it in my final research, but it seemed important enough to make some kind of statement. CabbageFairy 22:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Cabbagefairy

Hi again
I have found that '200.122.151.210' has been editing pages and adding rude words into them. I have checked most of his contributions and none have been useful.
Can you delete this person.

[edit] Morgellons Research
Chairboy,
You questioned my knowledge, actually, it is you whom I question. I am VERY familiar with the disorder and the research. I am challenging your article as it is full of confirmation bias against Morgellons disease. To make an assumption that I have no knowledge of this disorder is just exemplary of the kind of junk scholarship that all of you have contributed to this article.
I would say to you that your resume as an aviator does not lead to credibility to me as a researcher. As a master's and doctoral level student who has research in my credential, I do have the 100 hours of graduate work backing up my scholarship. Do you??
What I don't like very clearly is the mumbo-jumbo and the rhethoric that is specifically designed to slander MRF and those who are undertaking Morgellons research. I will from now on flood your space with article after article after article of nematode and genetic splicing research which is what researchers who are studying Morgellons are looking into, and as a member of a research team looking into Morgellons, YES, I am qualified to speak about it.
I challenge your whole article because it is slanted and biased and when people try to put in comments that balance your article or even improve it's writing, it is deleted because it does not meet your confirmation bias against Morgellons.
What I am going to suggest to the owner's of all researchers currently actively researching Morgellons of which I am associated with is that they flood your article with scholarship and then demand that you scholarly, with a graduate degree or other PROOF, counter their scholarship. Otherwise, this is a junk encyclopedia. I have challenged the fallacious talk here and I am going to request that the article be scrubbed. Seriously... scrubbed and if it is not scrubbed, I will request that Wikipedia flag it seriously to note that it does not provide actual scholarship but just a bunch of arm chair opinions.

[edit] WP:UW future?
Hi FireFox,
Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace template issue. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.
