[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Artificial snow.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Artificial snow.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Entry of Afonso I of Kongo
I noted that you have renamed Afonso I of Kongo as Nzinga Mbemba, and I would like to revert to the old usage (see the discussion on this article). There are two reasons for this: first his Kikongo name was Mvemba Nzinga (or Mbemba Nzinga if you wish to use a sixteenth century pronounciation of his name). There is a lot of contemporary evidence that the names were given in this order, the Mvemba part is a given name and the Nzinga part is the given name of his father Nzinga Nkuwu. This was the normal way of giving names, like the one used in Northern European langauges or in Arabic. As for the spelling, Kikongo has no standard orthography but modern historical literature in Kikongo such as Kinkulu kia Nsi eto and Nkutama a mvila za makanda which in my experience have usually defined the way native speakers write about their past, they often using the linking particle "a" making his name Mvemba a Nzinga. In real life pronouciation, the "a" is elided into the previous syllable making its apparent pronunciation Mvemba Nzinga or Mvemb'a Nzinga as it is sometimes written. Enough on this!
The second reason is that this king, while certainly born as Mvemba a Nzinga is widely known as Afonso first, far more widely than by his Kikongo name. His successors on the list of Kongo kings really also ought to be known by Christian names, though of course their full names including the Kikongo elements ought to be included in the entry. They were baptized at birth and took both names simultaneously as is amply attested in their own correspondence, in which they universally go by Christian names, even in internal letters such as royal orders issued to subordinates.

[edit] School massacres
Hello, please remove Category:School massacres from all of the articles you have just placed it on, they are already in their +subcategories, which are in Category:School massacres you are putting them in that category twice. thank you Headphonos 00:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphanbot - rationale
How does this bot know if someone has rationale? I put rationale right below the fairusein tag - .. it still busts me for it. It would be nice if the bot's note tells the uploader how and where to add the rationale (so that it recognizes it). Fresheneesz 02:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- The bot looks for any of about two dozen words and phrases that indicate the uploader has considered Wikipedia's fair use policy. The "rationale" on the image in question doesn't contain any of them, and the image itself does not meet Wikipedia's qualifications for fair use. --Carnildo 22:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Don't Destroy
In the essay, you wrote, Article deletion involves the very hard and dedicated work of admins and others to remove content from wikipedia. This includes removing vandalism, blocking trolls, and archiving talk pages ...
What is the connection between archiving talk pages and deletion? When the talk page is archived, it's still on Wikipedia, just one click away. --Metropolitan90 20:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the note
Thanks for letting me know about your essay. There seems to have arisen a bit of unintended drama. Please see my comment at the MfD, and let me know if you'd like to talk about what you were intending with that page, and how one might present those ideas in.... some other words, perhaps. I think it's worth developing, but not under that title. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:11, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've posted some thoughts at User talk:Fresheneesz/Focus on improvement. Cheers. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
== Huh? ==
You are being disruptive (again) and engaging in a pattern of harassment (again) by impugning me and my motives in a variety of different places. Stop that. >Radiant< 15:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Quadratic Equation
Hi Fresheneesz! I think there are some bits and rubbles you havent quite understood about the Quadratic Equation. First of all as long as your computer can define the number the quadratic equation (per definition) is 110% correct as long as a>0 or a<0, now the main reason for that is because it is made for an quadratic formula or function, so if you have ax2 + bx + cx = 0 where a = 0 that is not a quadratic formula (or function for that matter), it is a linear function. Also the formula would give a wrong answer because it divides on zero which becomes ∞, (which is not the answer anyways).
and if x± = 
you are up in four answers which is also incorrect. (The two answers (if you get two and not 1) you get when you apply the quadratic equation are not always the negative of eachother).

[edit] Your WP:3O report
It wasn't obvious to me where I should put this, so I'm doing it here. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's been decided that users control their userspace; they can remove any comments they wish to, as they see fit. If they make personal attacks, you can obviously do something about that, but they're allowed to remove whatever they wish from their talk pages. -Amarkov blahedits 03:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Another third opinion in re the diffs provided by Fresheneesz in the WP:3O report:
- Such a pattern of deletion is disturbing. It repeatedly removes from the most central location (the user's talk page) the evidence of the effects of one user's actions on other users—cf. procedural warnings, subst/templated or not, on user talk pages ("their userspace"). Athænara ✉ 05:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pattern
- → To keep discussion located where previously established: The post below, timestamped 10:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC) in my talk page history, moved here where the first responses to the W:3O request were posted several hours ago. -Æ. ✉11:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
The point of a talk page is not to serve as a log of procedural warnings. In particular, it is common to remove warnings that are improper or unfounded. It is also quite common for users to remove false accusations and personal attacks from their talk pages, or even for users to remove anything that they have responded to. And of course all of that remains logged in the page history anyway. If this weren't the case, it would be far too easy for editors in dispute to accuse each other of whatever, knowing that such "procedural warnings" will have to remain in place even if false. >Radiant< 10:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It took me a while to discern why you thought this applied to what I posted to Fresheneesz, whose expressions of grievance and requests for better treatment were not procedural warnings. Perhaps you misunderstood the meaning of the abbreviation "cf.," which means "compare with." It is not an equivalency or a definition.
- By the way: although my intention was to post a brief note to your talk page (to notify you that your post had been moved here as your remarks addressed my observations here) I refrained after learning that it was over 100 kilobytes long. -Æ. ✉ 18:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
-
- I'm confused. Whats this about 100K ? Fresheneesz 23:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Note that Fresh is in the habit of removing remarks from his own talk page (e.g. [1]) so it's disingenuous for him to complain about other people removing remarks from their talk pages. Worse, rather than removing threads, he selectively removes only parts of threads that disagree with him, thus in effect misrepresenting the discussion. >Radiant< 09:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Radiant cross-posted this 09:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC) to my talk page as well. My reply to it, verbatim, herewith: → Your allegations best pertain to your own habit as previously shown in the diffs cited in the request last week for a third opinion. Fresheneesz's attitude is reasonable. Vindictive attempts to cast him in a bad light, which really should not continue, reflect far more on you than on anyone else. Athænara ✉ 19:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your support, I guess I shouldn't have deleted one of his PA posts as a direct response to his removal of peoples' comments. I feel like something needs to be done about Radiant, but I've just resigned to ignoring him as much as possible. Fresheneesz 20:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- To Fresheneesz, for injuries suffered in steadfast defence of Wikipedia:Civility in the face of determined attack, I award the Purple Barnstar. —Æ. ✉ 03:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your comment on my talk page
Hi Fresheneesz!
You left a message on my talk page, asking me to talk in a less authoritive tone. I'm not exactly sure which occasion you are referring to; would you care to elaborate? Thanks.
Yuser31415 04:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Can't remember the specifics either ... but anyway, Happy New Year! Yuser31415 23:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NPA
No, it's not irrelevant; you are making the very same mistakes you made earlier. Also, don't come to my talk page to make personal attacks. >Radiant< 07:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Telling you to stop attacking me is not a personal attack. Fresheneesz 23:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Let it go
Fresheneesz, just some friendly advice: you should know by now that certain admins can do or say anything they want here and get away with it. That's just the way it is these days, and as the arb case proved, it ain't gonna change. Just let it go and move on. ATren 08:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Toxoplasm Gondii
fresheneesz, you said on the discussion for toxoplasma gondii that you had read the article by nicky boulter- is it available online anywhere? all i can find are articles quoting her, with the same 2 or 3 quotes in each one. unsigned comment by User:141.156.129.100
[edit] Whoops
My apologies for deleting that pic and marking it as vandalism. I didn't know that that part of the Pentagon collapsed, so I assumed the pic was some sort of very subtle vandalism. Everyone makes mistakes, as evidenced by my mistakes page (which it seems I now have to amend). Again, my apologies. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 22:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello. In Re, the Partial Fractions page. Algorithm has no "e"
I surmise by your name that extra "e"s are just fine. (That's a joke. OK?) Larry R. Holmgren 20:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pentagon
Any fair use image that is not used in an article is eligible for speedy deletion. --Peta 03:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- I should add that I have no opinion in the validity of the image, the OR appears in the log because I didn't check my cached edit comment properly. --Peta 03:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Isn't there a PD image - surely there must be one somewhere in the vast amounts of material generated by the US government following 9/11. --Peta 03:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use images
Thanks. Every now and then, someone goes on a jihad about those sort of images, especially future aircraft for which no actual airframe exists. In those cases, we must rely upon manufacturer release images and these people don't understand. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 05:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, of course such images cannot be replaced. The problem is that the uploader forgets to tag the image as replaceable with {{subst:rfu}} once the aircraft enters production. --Oden 05:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] C POSIX library
C POSIX library seems to be a copyvio from [2]. I've tagged the page; I'll watch there and here if you want to discuss, or you can respond on my talk. –EdC 16:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FSTs and Coding for Wikipedia
Firstly, you've posted a message on my talk page on 13 december, and unfortunately I haven't been able to answer it untill now. About the FST problem, see the talk page of the Mealy Machine article here.
Secondly, I'd be more than glad to help Wikipedia in any way I can especially when it comes to programming. However, I'm not sure that I'm as good as Wikipedia needs, but I'll try and help, provided I'm given something to do, or at least some general directions. The wikipedia program seems a great ideea IMO, since a browser interface, simply cannot provide all the options needed for a project this big. I'll try and see what I can come up with in my free time.
Also, I agree that Wikipedia should have some pages or section of some kind (like the Wine_(emulator) project has for example), for programmers, since it's really hard to download MediaWiki, and start fixing things, without. Sincerely, Amenzix 22:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wine is not an emulator, Amenzix... that's what Wine stands for. comment just for fum -- Chris is me (u/c/t) 03:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion Discussion
on User talk:Jerry lavoie You said:
- One small request. When you mark a page for deletion, please let the author of that page know. Thanks. Fresheneesz 22:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- You put a message on my talk page before I had a chance to let you know. I was explaining the deletion on the article talk page when the you have a new message box popped up. I assume if you send me a message about my proposed deletion, that you are aware of it.Jerry lavoie 22:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Please explain your reasoning in more detail. I have added to the talk pages (could not find anything there from you). Dialogue? --Paddy 17:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Distribution functions
Hello,
I commented on your question in the talk page for Cumulative distribution function, hope it helps (it was a while ago, you may already have found the answer, but Knuth's textbook is still a great resource! User A1 13:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Civility
[Cross-posted from User talk:intgr]
You're kidding me right? I created that page, and i'm bitching about the term and these damn pstat books. I have a final tomorrow, and I also hate PDF files. So.... Ya. Fresheneesz 02:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, that explains it.
- In any case, profanities on Wikipedia are discouraged, so you might want to remove that comment after you have passed your exams. And good luck! :) -- intgr 02:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PRT's effects on San Diego essay
I enjoyed your essay. If you (and I) reworded it a bit and formalized it, you could probably get it published or at least bring attention to the issue. !! -- Chris is me (user/review/talk) 06:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
