User talk:Amerique
Response to "Welcome!"Hello Amerique. Thank you for the welcome, and the references you provided. I'll probably have some questions from time to time, but am limited on how much time I can spend on wikipedia. Feel free to run any ideas past me. Some things I think I am good at are organizing and categorizing information and rewording things to just the essentials. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 04:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
The IE needs HelpSo since you are intrested in the Inland Empire (California) area, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Inland Empire and join if you like. It is a newly formed wikiproject that I just created. House1090 (talk) 05:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:NODRAMA reminderThanks for your comments at Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Wikipedia stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. We appreciate your commitment to "mind the shop" while other Wikipedians are busy working on article content. The non-article areas of Wikipedia are vital for the good of the community, and the work you do there is much appreciated, especially during this campaign while other Wikipedians are busy abstaining from them to work on articles. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 22:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC) UCSDYour even-handed approach and contributions at UCSD are appreciated.

Riverside in SBVHi Amerique thanks for your contributions to the Greater San Bernardino Area article, but riverside is not in the SB Valley. I tend to believe that Riverside is in the Perris Valley, I just asked User:MissionInn.Jim since he is an expert, if I may say, in the Riverside Area to verify that for me or to see if I am wrong, which I could be. I think Riverside is in the Perris Valley because I read in a Press Enterprise newspaper article stating that the Perris Valley was going to get a new metrolink line, being called the Perris Valley Line, which included Riverside. So I thought I let you know that I am working on a Perris Valley Article for wikipedia, which includeds the cities of Rubidoux, Moreno Valley, Riverside, Perris, and Corona (I may be missing some cities). House1090 (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Pittsburg StateNo I was going to add a refrence/source but wikipedia did not let me it told me something about a block or something about the site or something like that.

Orphaned non-free image (File:UCLA Bruins Alternate Logo.png)Thanks for uploading File:UCLA Bruins Alternate Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 04:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC) Barnstar

Inland Empire commentsI protected the page and left a note on the talk page, as I'm sure you saw. Please drop me a line if I can be of assistance- unprotecting, warning, blocking, commenting on the WT:CAL or Talk:Inland Empire threads. tedder (talk) 07:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
"Handling ..." discussion header on WT:CALI've refactored the header to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#Handling House1090 and moved the User5 template just below so the section link will work. I'm trying to come up with a solution where the content is improved, and you aren't stuck policing articles for quality. I'm assuming you'd rather be developing articles than arguing with strangers on the internet. I'll try to chime in with my two cents on the IE article's talk in a bit. -Optigan13 (talk) 10:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Oh, and [[wikt:Suffer fools gladly|Suffer fools gladly]] will produce a wiktionary interwiki Suffer fools gladly if you didn't know that trick already (Help:Interwiki linking#Project titles and shortcuts). -Optigan13 (talk) 10:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
I've posted some more formal wording to this whole arrangement on WT:CAL. Also, I know I said I would try and weigh in on the content, but I've decided it's best if I stay out of the content side of things on IE articles to remain relatively neutral on this in case it requires any escalation. -Optigan13 (talk) 08:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC) Hi!

Replaceable fair use File:Cyclops,_1947,_William_Baziotes.JPGThanks for uploading File:Cyclops,_1947,_William_Baziotes.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 13:49, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: RFC, you haven't structured it in terms of a proposition to support or oppose, etc. I would put it in project space and request comments on whether it should be a guideline. It could still be effective as an essay if it does not gain consensus as a guideline. Ameriquedialectics 20:35, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you mean by "unsubstantiated" but if you mean verifiable, it was cited at an independent legal journal. I also don't think there's any NPOV violation. If you think, non-noteworthy, why don't we open it open for community discussion since that opinions can vary on that. I'm going to check the discussion forum to see what's posted there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donselma (talk • contribs) 03:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC) Donselma (talk) 03:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC) hey, i think you're right. just got your message. very good point about plaintiff losing. i thought maybe because of the initial settlement, which suggests he did have a case, but you're messaged has changed my thinking . . . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donselma (talk • contribs) 22:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC) Chicago Meetup and updateLast fall you indicated that you continue to be active with WP:CHICAGO.

I ran across an article which is 'not quite there' and fighting for its life at AfD, that I think is notable and salvageable, just needing some insight. The article, Melissa B., is what I refer to. I'm not much of a music article editor, and not sure which sources are considered reliable or not. I noticed you worked in the past on the article of a colleague of hers: Spencer Battiest, and brought it to a presentable status, so I was wondering, if you had the time, if you could give the MB article a run-through and see what improvements could possibly save it.
