[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Pmi map.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pmi map.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 22:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please Help
There is an unholy mess in the Maryland article regarding a section entitled "cultural identity." Most of the editors agree that the state is a Northern one, and many facts have been posted and adequately cited to prove that fact. A Confederate sympathizer, however, is constantly going onto the article, removing cited information, and replacing it with unsourced "statistics" that steer Maryland into the Southern category. Please read the whole debate, weigh in, and please, PLEASE, help. History21
[edit] How?
Hey, how do you get those things? The things that say This user is a male....

[edit] Avengers member template
Thanks mate. I was about to take on that chore myself (considering I'm also the one that created the template), but you did it for me! :D
Thanks again. Kusonaga 21:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Part 2
Hey I just got this from ChrisGriwold, who I also seem to clash with. I'm stubborn... he's stubborn... ah well.
- "These navbox templates you've been adding are under discussion at the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics#These_Infoboxes talk page. Please stop creating and adding these while we discuss them. Currently, the discussion appears to be going against their inclusion in articles, so you may want to join the discussion to present your opinion. Good luck.--Chris Griswold (☎☓) 01:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)"
This includes your Avengers one you created. So dude, I guess if we want them kept we better start defending them otherwise they may do their little lets delete it and that would [CENSORED] me off!.
Sweet
[edit] Rvv comment
Just to note, you should assume good faith; the user does not seem to be vandalizing, rather spamming. Thank you. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:HD
If I've correctly apprehended your meaning apropos of auto-warn templates, my Help Desk reply might be of some use (I note such reply here only in view of your request for such reply); should you have any further questions or need associated help, please feel free to drop me a line at my talk page. :) Joe 06:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:AFD/The Political Spectrum of the left and the right in the Roman Catholic Church
Your comments there are not completely inline with WP:CIV. Even if an article has no place on wikipedia there is no need to be rude about it or the person who wrote it.Geni 00:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Weekly Notification!
This is just a friendly reminder that Wikipedia Weekly has been released with a new episode!
Actually, it's a couple of new episodes. I've been moving to an place closer to campus (my commute was getting to me) and hence, the reminder message was a little slow in coming out. So slow we put out 2 where before we had 1.
Anyways, all is good now, here's the new episodes!
As always you can download old episodes and more at http://wikipediaweekly.com/!
Please spread the word about Wikipedia Weekly, we're trying to spread the word so that people know about the project, we've got some cool guests lined up and it makes it much more fun if people tune in!

[edit] Removal of dispute tags.
Please don't remove dispute tags for discussions that are still on-going. Those templates are there for a reason, and removing them can be seen as vandalism.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 04:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deleting new, unnecessary articles
See [1] for more. I seek your assistance in deciding the deletion of three new, unnecessary Avatar-related articles. Thank you. Y BCZ 17:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mark Lund AfD
FYI, I have completely rewritten the Mark Lund article from external published sources. You might want to reconsider your AfD vote, since the article is no longer autobiography. Dr.frog 15:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I would have
Yeah, I would have voted for FA for the Avatar article. Sorry I didn't get your message sooner. At least it made it, right!-Hairchrm 23:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. Capitol shooting incident (1998)
You posted a comment under the peer review section for the article U.S. Capitol shooting incident (1998). Your comments were not bulleted and talked of April Fool's Day. Did you in fact mean to comment on this article? Thanks, Daysleeper47 21:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pokemon types
i've reverted your changes to pokemon types, you cited removing a large amount of content because of WP:OR (likely due to the recent AfD). The content was descriptive in nature, mch like many "Differences in" sections. Descriptions are not OR when based off of primary resources. As of right now, there just seem to be lacking some exact references to which anime episodes are being discussed. Would you find it acceptable if i find something stating that the difference exists? -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 16:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] {{ArticleHistory}} and BP
Hi, I see you've been using action1=BP when adding the ArticleHistory template. The Featured Article Director User:Raul654 has said that it is sufficient to start with Refreshing Brilliant Prose. I've now removed the BP option from the template documentation (although not the template, so nothing will break). Also it seems a bit pointless to include BP if you're going to use 19 Jan 2004 as the date for both BP and RBP. If want to use BP, you can get the dates from the table at User:Feature_Historian (it's chronological, not alphabetical). For the link for RBP you can give the appropriate one of Wikipedia:Archive/Refreshing brilliant prose - People and culture, History and religion, Science or Others. --Dr pda 03:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm glad you like the tool, however you might want to slow down a little :) Of the 29 articles to which you added the template today, I found things which needed to be fixed in 11 of them. Dr pda 01:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
New news, see talk page at WP:FFA - we are no longer calling RBPs FFAs. According to the folks who've been around, they were never Featured articles, so we can't call them former featured articles - instead we're calling them failed featured article candidates (FFACs). I've removed the ones we added from WP:FFA, and will go back and re-do those on the list at the talk page of WP:FFA. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- I got through a lot of these, and crossed off the ones I did, but I've got to quit for a while. WP:FAR is getting really backed up, and I'm going to have pay more attention there. Thanks for all your effort, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of X-Men 1992 TV Series episodes
Could you make your position on this nomination more explicit please. Thanks Colin°Talk 12:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Hobbit: differences / OR
Could you flag up with [citation needed] the things you consider to be OR or elaborate on the Hobbit talk page? I've done my best to NPOV it and remove OR statements from the section, but just the notice itself doesn't help too much! Thanks. --Davémon 19:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

- Point taken. FYI most of them are covered in various secondary sources, but hunting them down would be quite time consuming. --Davémon 20:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Weekly Notification!

[edit] Re: Two questions
1. Is it possible to have your article rating displayer list if an article is on peer review or FAR? 2. Is their a template for only ratings or do those have to be tied in to Wikiproject Templates?
- It already does if it is FAR - at least it's supposed to. I will look at adding Peer Review also.
- I don't understand your question! –Outriggr § 01:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Avatar the Last Airbender
Why don't you try going through and archiving the talk page instead? It'd be much more productive. I agree, the conversation was something that should never have started, but since it did, I'd rather not delete it. WP:TALK actually says nothing about deleting material, except for your own, and recommends archiving when length is an issue. It would be one thing if it were pure vandalism, or outright personal attacks, but it's not. It's just a wayward conversation. Archiving it would be fine, deletion is not going to fly. Mister.Manticore 21:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Personally I think no one would have had a problem with it. Nontheless, I have done as you asked and will nip any of these future conversations in the bud. The Placebo Effect 21:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lists
Why have you moved List of academic disciplines and several other lists into the Wikipedia namespace without any warning or discussion? I see nothing in the policies and guidelines concerning list articles (WP:LIST et al) that supports this move. -- Rbellin|Talk 21:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- mainly the fact that it doens't meet the MOS and is a list used for sending people browsing around. The Placebo Effect 02:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Please note that mass renames without discussion are not a good idea since, in case people end up not agreeing with you, somebody has to do a lot of work moving things back.
-
- Also, when you move things you need to check for double redirects.
-
- I moved back List of mathematics articles. You can make your case at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics as to why the list should be moved to Wikipedia namespace.
-
- If you have any comments for me, you can reply here, I will keep your talk page on my watchlist. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

-
- I will get to talking there eventually. Right now I am disscussing the samt thing at the other articles I did that to and I don't want to have to debates at once. The Placebo Effect 13:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
-
Placebo, I objected to your moves and moved them back, stating my reasons in the moves' summary fields. Please do not move them again without building consensus on the talk pages. Thank you. The Transhumanist 04:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia has over 8,000 lists. Hundreds of those are lists of lists. Do you intend to move them all to the Wikipedia namespace? Please do not. The Transhumanist 04:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review
Over at User_talk:GimmeBot#Peer_Review you asked about peer review. What do you think should be done? Gimmetrow 02:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- wel, when I was going through addign the article history template when it was first being rolled out, i found it hard because some pages had the archives neamed weirdly, others had comments 3 months after it was pulled. It doesn't matter much now since the bot is doing most of the updaing. At least I could do the basic move to /archiveX and update article history. The Placebo Effect 12:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
