"this user" boxesjust to let you know, you have 2 boxes that contridict each other on your user page. One states your interest in ignosticism, the other in: imagine there was no religion (an argument of the useful discussion of the existence of god.) Just thought it was weird.

You said: "You recently removed both instances of Image:Dec 2005 Cover Interview Magazine.gif (it was used on Interview (magazine) for several months; I added it to Reese Witherspoon today because someone else removed all the other images of her). You also tagged the image as "Orphaned fairuse."" "When I uploaded the image back in December 2005, it was permissible to use magazine covers:
"What has changed in the interim that these images are no longer fair use? Thank you,"
Famous people in WiltonWas there a more specific doubt you had about the list of famous people in Wilton, Connecticut? I've known about several of them for some time (many from old news accounts), and most of the others have "Wilton" on their Wiki bio pages. If you have doubts about particular ones, I could try to keep an eye out for references in the press or other evidence.Noroton 02:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Not sureI'm not sure if the oliver perez photo is copyrighted, but I figured it isnt because it is an ap photo on mlb.com. I understand if you have to take it off but i'm not sure if it is illegal- manfro 91 Cut & Paste MoveMareino- On July 24, you moved the page High Holidays to High Holy Days by cutting and pasting the text of one article into the other. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Instead, use the "move" button (found at the top of the page). This will ensure that the edit history of the article in question remains intact. If Wikipedia will not allow you to move the page to its proposed new location, you should contact an administrator to take care of the move. --Eliyak T·C 01:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC) "Wikiality" in the elephant articleHi there. I understand you are trying to help reach a compromise with the recent Colbert Report controversy (or is that too strong a word?) regarding the elephant article, and I appreciate the time you spent on it. I have reverted it, though, for the reasons I gave in the edit comment.
High Holy DaysHi, Mareino. This is in regard to the High Holy Days article move. I moved the article, but in the future please follow the directions for placing a notice (put {{move|insert new name here}} at the top of the page) and creating a place for discussion on the talk page (you can copy and paste the text in the grey box at step 3). Thanks, Kjkolb 09:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC) HeySteel has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing! -- Steel 15:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Cut and pasteYes, you are quite correct about cut and paste moves. As an administrator, I don't need to file a request to move pages and their history, since I have the ability to do it myself. However, the Academy Award category is a very unusual case, that does not have any policy to cover it that I know of, so I was bold and tried to improvise the best solution I could think of. It makes sense to move the category to a list, and when that happens we would want to keep the history of the category page when it gets moved. If we were to keep the duplicate page that you created until the move it would be possible that edits woud be made to both locations. Merging histories from two pages is quite difficult, and it was this potential problem that I was trying to avoid. The only edits that happend to the list were your initial copy (and my removal of the CfD notice). Since it was your initial cut and paste creation of the page that was in error, and no substantial edits of the page were made, I decided to delete the history and make a redirect. After the CfD is closed, the category page can be moved with its history. -- Samuel Wantman 19:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Wikipedian categoriesI noticed your comment in the CfD for Category:Penguin users. I'm actually thinking of writing a proposal for Wikipedian categories, although it will probably be a couple of weeks before that happens. I noticed that you've voted on quite a few Wikipedian CfDs, so if you wanted to review it for me when I'm done, I would certainly appreciate your input! --Cswrye 14:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I got the proposal done earlier than I expected. As promised, I'm giving you first dibs at ripping it apart for me! It's at Wikipedia:Guidelines for user categories. Feel free to make any edits to it or make comments on its talk page. I know that I can be a little too detailed at times, so I probably have more guidelines than are really necessary. --Cswrye 22:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC) PennsylvaniaI saw your comment about adding articles. If you're talking about adding artivles to the assessment, add this {{WikiProject Pennsylvania}} like it says on the assesment page. The PA wikiproject is very new and the page could use some organization. --evrik 22:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC) Musical MonkeyHello Just to let you know that I took off the importance tag from this one because I belive that every album by a notable artist is notable. I should probably have put something on the talk page to that effect though, so sorry about that (I will go do so now). If you disagree with me, feel free to add that tag back on :) -Ladybirdintheuk 18:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC) COTW ProjectYou voted for Lee Smith (baseball), this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article.

I made a "best guess" as to birthyear based on his university bio... If you know his exact birthdate, feel free to change the category to match. :) --Elonka 20:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC) MetsBot requestWould MetsBot be available to add {{WikiProject Pennsylvania}} to every page that has the word Pennsylvania in its title?

Deletion ReviewThis article was first started by me and was deleted back in May '06. I was reading the punk house article and saw that the link for the TBP article was no longer red so I clicked on it and there was an article back up, started by another user. I dont know who started it because, it was deleted soon after I saw it. The decision made in the "Article for Deletion" debate should be reconsidered. The article is about a punk house not a fratenal organization. It seems that the debate, run by User:ChrisB and results were reported by User:Mailer Diablo. I will post this on their talk pages. This is the first time I have requested a deletion review so please let me know what else I need to do. If there is anything. I am on wikipedia frequently and I want to learn. Thanks. Xsxex 16:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC) MetsBot
OK, MetsBot has (basically) finished tagging the talk pages of all articles in Category:Pennsylvania and the first-level subcategories thereof, except for Category:People from Pennsylvania. I will not be doing that category, as most people have no relationship to Pennsylvania except being born there. Also, second-level subcategories, third-level subcategories, etc. will not be done as it starts to get more unrelated to Pennsylvania. If there is a specific sub-subcategory that you would like me to do, let me know. —Mets501 (talk) 17:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Michael Lee-Chin ArticleHi Please can you discuss any further amends to the article on the talk page before making them - especially as regards either his own or his parents' or his grandparents' or his cat's or his dog's ancestry. I am trying to get this article to at least A status, and could do with some constructive help, please. Blowski 19:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Zodiac ArticlesYou have tagged several articles relating to the zodiac as needing to be cleaned up due to a lack of distinction between fact and fiction. The articles are Mutable Sign,Fixed Sign,Cardinal Sign,Earth Sign,Air Sign,Fire Sign, and Water Sign. Your request seems to go against WP:NPOVFAQ#Making necessary assumptions, as all articles specifically state at the beginning that the terms are related to the zodiac or astrology. All references to "qualities" supposedly possessed by individuals under these signs are already couched in terms such as "are believed to be" and "are thought to." Changing every sentence to "are believed by astrologers to be" would just make all of the articles ugly, so I'm a bit confused as to what changes you are hoping for? --Todd 04:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your support of Larrys Creek's FAC. I appreciate it very much. Ruhrfisch 20:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
StatusExtinctWHi, I removed {{StatusExtinctW}} from your user page because that template also adds your page to Category:Species extinct in the wild. bogdan 23:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC) OlmecHi, I ask an arbitration about French School. Can you give me your opinion. Thanks again. Olmeque 22:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC) CategoriesThe categorization system is having growing pains. There seem to be several different view about what our category system should be; a way to browse, an index of articles, a classification system, and/or a database search tool. Each of these views leads editors to different conclusions about how categories should be populated, and many conflicts result. To deal with these problems, Rick Block and I have been working on a proposal to add the ability to create category intersections. We think our proposal will address these problems and add some very useful new features. We are asking editors and developers concerned with categorizaton problems to take a look. We'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks. -- Samuel Wantman 06:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC) Sockpuppet categories at DRVMy apologies for the impersonal nature of this message, but since you participated in the recent Sockpuppets of Outoftuneviolin discussion, I thought you might like to know that the categories are now at Deletion Review. This is not a solicitation of a specific response, as all participating users were notified, but your input would be appreciated. Thanks! - EurekaLott 00:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC) There are four articles being threatened by a merge proposal. The details are listed here Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pennsylvania#Announcements. Would you mind weighing in (hopefully in support) of keeping the articles. --evrik 01:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |
