[edit] Maple warming

Thanks for the support on the maple syrup / global warming issue. Mickmaguire

[edit] License tagging for Image:Red stapler.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Red stapler.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RLST

I think all discussion is useful and I am glad we are talking for the world to read. Well, maybe someday. Jeff.t.mcdonald 16:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vermont Education

Thanks Jonas! It has been on my "to-do" list for a while. It covers a fair bit of history, and how it ties to the 1777 constitution. Now someone needs to really clean up the economy section. Overall a good page, and while I feel very proud of my homestate, too often people get blindsided by their idealism, and POV creeps in. I am sure I am guilty of that on some level too but have tried to stick to the facts!CApitol3 01:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BC/AD and BCE/CE

This is a well-tread topic in Wikipedia, right up there with abortion and British vs. American spellings. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Eras, from which I quote, "Both the BCE/CE era names and the BC/AD era names are acceptable, but should be consistent within an article" ... "it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change" ... "Revert warring over optional styles is unacceptable". Therefore the changes that you made to Confucianism, an article that was already uniformly using BC/AD dates were inappropriate; please refrain from making unilateral changes on touchy issues like this and join in the community discussion on the issue instead. --Marlow4 23:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for editing the Vermont Politics area. Great job! Student7 22:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tours

Thanks for pointing out that people should not unilaterally decide to add sourcing information without references. I was tired of arguing, and it was nice someone else spoke up. IT IS APPRECIATED! If he wants references, the Muslim histories also speak of a week of waiting and light skirmishes, as the invading Umayyad forces waited for their entire army to gather, so his claim it was "christian" sources is plainly wrong historically. old windy bear 16:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I left him a note saying that he should be checking the discussion we've had. And that if he has actual sources, he ought name them. But that labeling things 'Christian' or 'Muslim' is really not doing any good.--Jonashart 16:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Issues

Jonashart Greetings! If you have a chance, please go look at the argument over deleting the new article on macrohistorical battles crucial to the survival of European Civilization. Yes, it probably could be renamed, but the attacks on it are the same ones brought against our article on Martel and Tours. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated, here is the link to the debate on whether to delete what could be a very good article. [1] old windy bear 04:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
