It's no problem re Blanche Bruce, you've done a good job :) You'll find many others helping each other out here. Keep up the good work! :) Dysprosia 03:46, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing Paul Simon's picture! -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 23:40, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi! You're welcome for the Haymarket fix - in that case I just happened to know an article already existed so I could fix the link. After you've looked at a lot of pages you'll probably do the same :) Adam Bishop 01:35, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

User:18.24.0.120 is right -- I don't know how I managed to stick that in the article in the first place... -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 05:13, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

When you add a custom message to Wikipedia:MediaWiki custom messages, you should also add it to Wikipedia:All messages in the MediaWiki namespace#Custom messages (as mentioned in the former article :) Dori | Talk 16:41, Dec 10, 2003 (UTC)

Was a spelling mistake I just wanted to correct it: Christie Hefner redhat

Thanks, but it's not actually my image. I just borrowed it from Pete. Perhaps you'd better check with him as he uses it on his user page too. Angela . 03:13, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wow! That was quick. Thanks for fixing my redirect before I could even find the right page again. That was spiffy. Tjdw 03:45, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I see you have some great contributions. Recently, you removed Charlie's logo from Charles Russel. I see that there wasn't enough room for it after the painting. That was a good painting btw. Keep up the good work. You might want to size the images and put them at the right like I did on Indian Wars. (You really helped on that article too.) Keep up the good work! Alexandros 16:33, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No problem. Great job on the Handspring article. I used to have a Palm Pilot, but it broke :-( Alexandros 16:57, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Wild Bunch

When you upload images, could you describe their source and copyright status on the image description page? For example, Image:Wildbunch.jpg is, I'm guessing, public domain because it's sufficiently old, but I'm not sure - you don't say when it was taken. Could you help me here? Otherwise it becomes more difficult for people to reuse content from Wikipedia, so we could no longer call ourselves a "free encyclopedia. Martin 17:59, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No, thank you. :) Even just "public domain, because taken on (date)" would be great. Martin 18:02, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Btw, do you want Image:Hotchkiss deleted (seems to be broke with 0 bytes...) Martin 18:17, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No problem. As you may have guessed from the initial redirect, I'm surprised there wasn't an article already about him. :) - Hephaestos 18:46, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] revert of my user page

But I am burnt out! Angela .

It's ok. I've unquit now so my page can stay as you left it. ;) Angela .

I think you need to shorten your locomotive page quite drastically to make it readable Refdoc 00:31, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Well thanks for improving the no stubs image... though I think User:Angela has started using it in ironic fashion which is terribly upsetting ;-) so may be you shouldn't have :) Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:50, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I moved around the links you added to Union Pacific Railroad -- while those locomotives are old UP locomotives they do not belong to the UP historical fleet that they maintain. I added a new 'Preserved locomotives' section to handle information about UP historical locomotives in other hands. --Morven 05:58, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I supported your admin request :-) (dont worry about pakaran and angela, you probably will get it based on my experiences. (as long as you denounce mother teresa)) Alexandros 22:34, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Feel free to remove yourself. You haven't caused any trouble, and I recognise you have made many great contributions here and got to grips with the system very quickly, but being a sysop is more about being a trusted member of the community rather than about how many edits you've made, and you can't expect to have gained this in less than a week. People need to see how you handle various situations etc, which is why you have met with opposition. Don't let it put you off though. Wait a few months and someone else with likely nominate you, or try again in 6 months. Angela . 00:03, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The idea is not to have lots of poems, but articles about poets and poetry. Why not join up? Bmills 11:08, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Go here and add your name under participants. Have a read first. Bmills 13:39, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi, please could you expand on your reason for listing Ghost of the Robot on VfD on December 12? A couple of people on the page have asked why you feel it should be deleted. If you no longer feel it should be, you can remove the listing as all the votes currently are to keep it. Thanks. Angela . 21:05, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello, I am Pedro Fortuny and happen to have been in touch with Alex Plank for a while around the WP. Do you know whether he is leaving us? I have not seen him for some days and was wondering. I hope he is not unwell, also. Anyway, could you give him my regards. Thanks. Pfortuny 12:11, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Welcome to the Mother Teresa article. Nice contributions. Keep on the good work and do not get burnout for the discussions... :)

You are beginning to be wise, Greenmountainboy! I do not have any bio or whatever handy and I think your additions will be better welcome than mine. Thanks again!

BTW, how is Alex? Pfortuny 22:42, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I am so puzzled now. Pfortuny 10:49, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

About what? Greenmountainboy 16:14, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

About a conversation I had two days ago at the IRC channel. Pfortuny 17:34, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Sorry, I dont quite remember what we were talking about. Can you tell me what you were/are confused about? Greenmountainboy 20:57, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Never mind. By the way, Merry Christmas.

Thanks :) Angela .

[edit] Indian Tribe Pages

Given your interest in Indians, I've got a suggestion and a question. If you haven't already, you might visit the tribal pages being built by an author from Pick and Shovel (archeology) magazine. There is a pointer to one of them in the external links in the Pequot article. The question is: While I haven't found any serious flaws, what do you think of the accuracy or validity of his material? If you also think its good, I'll add links anywhere else that a Wiki tribal article and his page line up. Thanks for you support. Lou I 16:32, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for looking. I've used one or two facts from those pages, and expect to use more. Lou I 18:39, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Monk

I'm a sysops, and I can't see any reason not to run your bot on "Monk". I thank you for identifying that problem. Good work. -- user:zanimum

Hi Greenmountainboy, how's Alexandros? I haven't seen him around lately and am getting kind of worried. - Mark 03:47, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] UP 737

What goverment site did you copy this article from? It should be listed at: Wikipedia:Public_domain_resources if it's not already there. JesseW 22:22, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Mhopkins.gif

Can you please provide the source of this image? Thanks! --David Iberri | Talk 19:07, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Lorentz.jpg

Thanks for uploading the above image. I have added an {{unverified}} tag, could you please add the appropriate copyright tag?

Thousands of images have no copyright tags. You can help!

Thanks so much, Duk 20:24, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sp1916.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sp1916.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Lordkinbote 23:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Greenmountainboys.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Greenmountainboys.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

More clearly, it's been replaced by Image:Flag of Vermont Republic.svg. –Mysid 13:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising blogs

I've created Advertising Planet, a syndicator of advertising blogs.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Moneta.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Moneta.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. User:Angr 12:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:6a36656r.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:6a36656r.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
