Merges are discussed, you are welcome to discuss them - and you may discuss your changes, pages should certainly not be formatted like that, and certainly when they don't render well for everybody, so you could say I dispute your edit, and hence you must discuss this first with the other editors on the talk page, thanking you very muchely. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 16:02, 19 January 2007 (UTC) Side note: When a merge is not opposed on the talk page in some time on an active page it generally indicates an endorsement. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 16:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Disambiguation page titlesHi MJBurrage, Thanks for correcting me regarding Wikipedia's guidelines. I made the assumption, without checking, that adding "(disambiguation)" on the end of a disambig page title was the preferred method. Cheers, Colin MacLaurin 09:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC) “Frankly, my dear, I just don't give a damn”I won't revert any subsequent edits you (or anyone else) makes. I would ask that you stick to using CSS instead of deprecated HTML—but I imagine that, too, precludes PDA support. My opinion is generally thus: I don't really care about PDA (or any other atypical device) support. I refer back to my opening statement in case you think this will cause an edit war between me and you or anyone else. I just wanted to note that I thoroughly disagree with your justification. If a device or application can't render the page in a sufficiently understandable fashion, then it shouldn't even bother. I can run any major graphical or text-based browser and still find the table arranged the same way. It makes little sense to me to adapt to devices that fail to properly interpret the difference between rows and columns. And besides, aren't there modified versions of HTML specifically designed for PDAs and other compact devices? Anyhow, like I said, I won't change anything again. I just don't agree with you.—Kbolino 01:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:Highwayman Truck.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Highwayman Truck.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Your claim that because the book is an autobiography any article about her is also about the book was tenuous at best. ed g2s • talk 17:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Aérospatiale Gazelle & HighwaymanI noticed you added the pop culture reference to the Gazelle article but it will probably get deleted. I had added it and I got into an argument with someone who kept deleting the reference from the Gazelle page saying it wasn't "notable" enough - and it pretty much came down to him having never seen "The Highwayman" series and therefore he didn't want it on the helicopter's page.

That's kinda what I had in mind when I forked off the page from the Airwolf series article, but never got around to finishing it up. Also, thanks for helping out on the Bell 222 and 430. I think I remember seeing you around late last year when I joined Wiki, but not much since then, so it's good to see you active again. We may do some things a bit differently, but the important things is producing good articles, and you are doing that. A drive-by editor actually suggested the Airwolf (helicopter) page be created a few months back, but I haven't seen him around since then. I think the Airwolf page has worked out better that I thought it would (though I did think it was a good idea), and seems to draw alot of interest and activity. Given that, do you think there are enough good sources or interest to do justice to a Blue Thunder (helicopter) page along the same lines? - BillCJ 22:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Vermont Mozart FestivalYou are right that I originally authored the section on financial sustainability, and indeed the entire article, last year. My writing was based largely on the historical piece by Ms. Hill, which I cited. The financial section was unfortunately based only on word-of-mouth information I received by attending the Mozart Festival in the summer. In retrospect, I can see why it has proven problematic, as it does not appear to be of lasting "encyclopedic" value--falling more in the category of gossip. I do not consider it crucial to the presentation of the VMF; indeed, its presence seems to impede attempts at maintaining a professional, unbiased tone. The anonymous edits do appear to be self-promoting, favoring the new administration, though the original content was perhaps "promotional" as well, reading a bit too much like an advertisement and plea for donations. Having reviewed the edit history, my conclusion is that the best course would be to simply extract this section from the article. If one could provide a more detailed financial overview of the festival stretching back to its founding, then I would see it as having some lasting value and interest, but as it is the section is too caught up in the present politics of the organization. - Chaognosis 14:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC) P.S. ThanksAlso, thank you for the tip about logging in. I did not see your message until today, but you are right that I am quite bad at remembering. I have not been terribly active in a while, but I will certainly try to remember. - Chaognosis 14:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ozymandias.JPG)Thanks for uploading Image:Ozymandias.JPG.

The plain category, however, isn't meant to be a generic category for individual people — people should only be in the more specific subcategories and the plain one should serve only as a navigation tool to collect those subcategories. Bearcat 20:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC) Shadowrun ISBN and FASA numbersI'm not sure why you think these were unrelated prior to 2003. I own all of the Shadowrun novels and, even on books from the early 90s, the FASA number on the spine corresponds to the ISBN number. I can't be bothered to register for Wikipedia so if you want to talk back to me about this maybe you could use the article's discussion page. Thanks. 70.81.193.217 00:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Replaceable fair use Image:LandMaster4x4.png Thanks for uploading Image:LandMaster4x4.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Caerwine Caer’s whines 22:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC) I do not dispute that REM also did a modified version of their song on Sesame Street. That has nothing to do with James Blunt or You're Beautiful. Hundreds of artists have done the same thing. There have been over 4000 Sesame Street shows over 38 years. I personally can think of at least 40 artists who have done the same thing - and it would be ridiculous to add "See Also" sections listing them all on every artist's page. If you feel that singing a song on Sesame Street is particularly noteworthy, perhaps you might want to create an article entitled List of songs modified for performance on Sesame Street or something to that effect. I have removed the addition again, and have explained why on the talk page of the article, which is the appropriate place to discuss disputed additions and reversions of material. Risker 06:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Jon FishmanThanks for the note, but as the point of the section is to list those who live in the community, I do my best to keep it pruned of people whose articles give no indication of their living in the community. The point of the section isn't to prove that they live there, but to list them; therefore, proof belongs in the biographical article — therefore, I check the article. It's not my responsibility to build their articles; it's simply a question of keeping unsourced information out. I watch several thousand place articles: if I were to check where people lived before deleting them, I'd never do anything else.

Francis OuimetThe Open de France and the French Open are the same tournament (French and English names). The French Open Amateur is a different tournament entirely, that's why I delinked it. I have no idea about the "1916 French Open" - it certainly isn't the Open de France/French Open. Tewapack (talk) 18:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC) SCCHow can anyone confirm the source without illegally obtaining the pilot? It hasn't aired yet. Any information from the pilot that is from another reliable source can go in. Another thing, the article mentions reshoots since the pilot was leaked. So, some things have changed since then. Once the actual show airs, then we can freely get information from it. ColdFusion650 (talk) 21:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
This has been discussed several times since the pilot was leaked. If after all of this you don't understand why citing something that is illegal to possess is not good, I won't be able to explain it to you. Just wait a few weeks until the show airs, and then you can cite anything from it you wish. ColdFusion650 (talk) 19:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
