Your opinion pleaseCan you comment on the recent incarnation of the Hacker's article? Take a look at this post here. Thanks. -- Kerowren (talk • contribs • count) 20:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC) Notability of Juggs Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Juggs, by Valrith (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Juggs seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. Image:Monster_Manual_cover-200px.jpgI have tagged Image:Monster_Manual_cover-200px.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Jazz FluteAll right, if you don't mind my placing it here, this is what happened with that edit - I removed it, placing a note on Saxstudio's talk page, and logged on to find the entire paragraph back. The editor was one Gustav von Humpelschmumpel, who asked why I had deleted an entire section. I just left a note on his talk explaining pretty much the same thing I left on saxstudio's talk, with an appology for notifying the wrong user, and told him I was going to remove it again, since he seemed able to get it back up rather quickly. I'm just wondering, now, were we reffering to the same article? Thanks for your time, please leave a note on my talk. --Sorcerer of words 16:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC) Guam stampsHello, Stan. I am preparing an article about the philatelic and postal history of Guam, for the Wikipedia in French. The idea began with a French magazine article about Guam aerophilatelic covers. If you can find this intel easily, please : outside 1899 overprinted US stamps and the Guam Guard Mail stamps, is there US stamp with a topic connected to Guam outside the one issued last 1st of June (Hagåtña Bay) ? Hoping you are spending a nice summer. Sebjarod 15:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Henry Adrian "Packy" SchadeStan, I was amazed to find an article on the venerable Mr. Schade. I am curious how you knew him, which I assume you did as you cite his boys and wife by name. I grew to know the boys in the late 90s while working on a book. The subject matter surrounded Packy's work while head of the Carrier Desk during WWII, from 1942 through 1944. The boys were extremely helpful. It might interest you to know that at my urging the boys gathered up all of Packy's papers and I arranged to have them added to the manuscript collection at the United States Naval Academy's Nimitz Library. There they are available for current and future generations to research and learn more about this very interesting man. I wonder if you'd mind terribly if I augmented your Packy article? Mentioning the repository of his papers might prove useful for students and the anecdotal origin of his nickname interesting, etc. Thanks for remembering a very important man in our nation's history yet to most is unfamiliar. Feel free to contact me as my username is actually linked to email. xl_five_lx 03:37 31 July 2007 Just following up on our previous conversation some weeks back. After a recent move, I still hadn't unpacked many of the document boxes I have containing Navy records. I have now sifted through them and finally located the material on Packy Schade. As promised, I will soon try and add what I can to your article regarding same. Thanks very much.

Both IUCN and Fishbase list the species as vulnerable. Do you have a reliable source that says otherwise, or are you mistaking the reversion by anonymous editors as vandalism?

USS Hornet: Image mooring linesGreetings, We found this image on the gallery of photos about shipping which you have posted on Wikipedia. We would very much like to use it as the cover of a book of one of Joseph Conrad's stories. The book is a commercial production. We are happy to comply with the GNU Licence terms, but wanted you to know what we were doing and also wanted to assure ourselves it was your photograph. Should you have any questions to put to us, or if there are other obligations we need to fulfil, please let us know. Yours sincerely,
PS We enjoyed looking through your photographs.
Prickly pear photoHello! I noticed you initiated the article on prickly pear cactus. I recently uploaded a photograph showing a close up of a prickly pear bloom, not a rare picture, but this example contains a small bee exiting the flower after having likely pollinated the plant. I thought you might be interested. I'm not sure how to best lead you to the photo so I include the Image: line here but without brackets. Thank you. Image:Prickly pear bloom with small bee.jpg --Bad carpet 00:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Just saw your Commons pageI'm amazed at how many pics you've uploaded there, is there a way to count how many you've uploaded other than manually and are you one of the top Commons uploaders? BTW, I added your USS Hornet pics to the category USS Hornet (CV-12). I visited the ship myself in November 2004 and plan to upload any of my pics that you haven't already covered BrokenSphereMsg me 05:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

FYI - a photo has been double-promoted to FP
Hi Mr. Shebs! Since you were the original uploader of the Image:USS_Franklin_list-700px.jpg, I'd like to inform you about some things regarding this photo. I've recently been doing a complete pictures revision on the World War II article, and I found that I mercilessly:) had to replace the USS Franklin photo with a land photo from Okinawa, in order to do more justice to Okinawa. But I felt a little bad about it; I thoroughly scrutinized each of the previous 80 pictures in the WW2 article, and found the Franklin pic to be exquisite. I am not joking - through the years I have seen thousands (god knows how many) of different photos from WW2, and the Franklin pic is IMO a masterpiece. Therefore, I decided to upload it to Commons as Image:Attack_on_carrier_USS_Franklin_19_March_1945.jpg, do more research on it, write a caption and nominate it for featured picture on both Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia. It was recently promoted as FP in both instances, and I am not surprised. Details on the nomination and votes: Since you were the original uploader, I've taken the liberty of stating this/linking to you in the image summary. I will most likely soon order a reproduction or digital hi-res version from the National Archives, and upload this. If you want me to notify you about this, please tell me so on my talk page. I just wanted to tell you about this, since if you hadn't uploaded it, I might never have seen it in the first place. I sincerely want to thank you for this!

I think its time the footer templates were filled out with all the different entities and the articles at least stubbed. However as there are around 700 different ones - I think I'm going to create postal history templates by continent e.g Postal history of Europe, Postal history of Asia etc. This would make it more manageable and easier to navigate. I'll work on it in a few days. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC) Yes such as French Post offices abroad and British Levant and all that of which there are many. Mmm. I'm thinking it would be best to stick to continents with templates , a British commonwealth one might be a bit dated for instance and has some considerable overlap. I'll see what I can do = I'm certain we can't add all A-Z in one template that would look ridiculous but what could be done is to have the countries of one continent in one box (including past editities/micro states and PO'S etc) and then have links to other continents at the top. This way it connects to the next series of articles from that given area. It might take some time to do, also when I meant stubs I didn't mean one which provides no info - the basics is all that is needed to start with. Keep up the good work anyway, I wish there were more editors that concentrated on this area -I also like the new "rare stamp" info box -looks good . As I said anyway I'll look into it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 11:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Yes it might actually be a good idea to create another set of templates also for British PO'S etc for those British stamp enthusiasts. The templates can be set at collapsible so it wouldn't look cluttered. I do think it best to stick to geographical area though primarily for an encyclopedia. We'll get there ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 11:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Hi just out of question, I was wondering if you collect stamps from Aland Islands see : Here or Alexandretta. I am currently selling off my entire collection as it takes up too much room. Some of the Alexandretta are slightly damaged but the others are fine. I've sold about 6 penny blacks on ebay. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 12:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Yes don't worry too much about the template at present as it gets larger I'll move it to one of my work pages where I can list the A-Z and then sort by continent into the more organized templates. If you are redirecting see Postage stamps and postal history of British Guiana to direct to the specific section. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 17:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Away team A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Away team, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the This is an image I uploaded three years ago. I will attempt to find a more suitable free image over the next few weeks. I have no idea exactly why I chose the license based on the current info in the Plants Database. I was either dead wrong or the entry had more copyright info placed on it. If you want to change the license or add a more appropriate photo before I get to it, you are most welcome to do so. Thanks for asking. --Robbie Giles 17:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Wikibooks Garden Book (you're a contributor!)Hi Stan Shebs. While setting up a contributor's page for the Wikibooks gardening manual, your name came up as a top contributor due to the magic of Special:Import (the book is largely based on imported Wikipedia articles). This list (or updated versions of it) will be included in print versions for attribution purposes (since there are of course no "history pages" in print versions). I'm sending this note to see if (a) you would like your real name used rather than your username, and (b) to make sure you have an account on Wikibooks. If your username is "taken" there and there are no contributions (or if perhaps you just lost your password), please feel free to leave me a note so I can help you fix the problem (I am a b'crat). We're working on ways to make this attribution work better in the future, so also let me know if you want to be kept up to date on that. Thanks for contributing to the plant, insect, and other articles that have been so helpful in the creation of the garden book!--SB_Johnny | talk 19:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC) Merry Christmas Re: My pictureHi there, Stan. I must inform you that I feel rather intimidated by the tone of the recent message that you left on my talk page. But before I elucidate upon your threats, I'll address your claims: Besides being a failure to assume good faith, accusing me of fraud is an extremely serious issue indeed. I am not representing "your" picture as myself. I have it on my userpage as it is my favourite photograph from the Wikimedia Commons. The "Yours, truly" caption (notice the careful use of comma) is intended as a celebration of the freedom provided by copyleft, a freedom which is being violated by your deletion of the image from my userpage. This deletion is an explicit breach of section two of the GNU Free Documentation License which you yourself have released the image under, and if repeated, can be considered vandalism. Images in the Wikipedia Commons have unrestricted usage. The part of the GNU Free Documentation License referring to the attribution of copyright holder in modifications of the document is only applicable to use of the document outside of the Wikimedia project - as the image is fully attributed on both its Wikipedia and Wikipedia Commons page, to which my Userpage is directly linked. Were this a question of fair use rationale, there might potentially be a case for more explicit labelling in order to justify the image's use on my user page - however, it isn't, and thus there isn't. There is no question as to the subject matter or copyleft holder of the document in question - and if there were, it would fall on both yourself and the Wikimedia Foundation to rectify it, on the document's respective information pages. I might also point out that "Look you" is an extremely impolite way of addressing someone - especially as I've never spoken to or about you before, and this is the first message you have left on my talk page. Your assertion that "no way am I going to tolerate it" would appear to imply that you will continue to delete the image from my page, regardless of the cited rules which demonstrate my freedom to use it. If I've misinterpreted your meaning here I hope you'll forgive me, but I feel it is understandable given the context of the quote. Furthermore, your threatening me with "trouble" (which is defined by Princeton University's Wordnet as "an event causing distress or pain") unless I comply with your wishes, has deeply disturbed me and can be considered a personal attack (specifically 1. a threat of violence and 2. A threat of vandalism to userpages or talk pages). Your edit summary "last chance" can be considered an extension of this, and is all the more chilling considering, as mentioned above, that this is the first time you have contacted me. Having been rather shaken by the tone and content of your message, I would appreciate it if you avoided contacting me in future unless absolutely necessary - and if so, I would ask that you employ common courtesy and refrain from issuing unsubstantiated demands and threats, implicit or otherwise. I'm sure you understand my concern. Thanks for your time, and have an enjoyable festive season. Yeanold Viskersenn (talk) 18:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the CTC sheets, I have uploaded all of them and placed them in the gallery, since each of the sheet is briefly described. Hopefully that will not irk anyone, each sheet has its own unique images which is why I have uploaded all.--PremKudvaTalk 04:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Israel & Palestine philatelic articlesAs the most senior philatelist on the philately project, you might want to weigh in on the discussion about the Israel and Palestine articles on a number of fronts. By way of background, initially HG started Postage stamps and postal history of Israel and Palestine and I started a talk page discussion suggesting this was an incorrect title and that there should be 2 individual country articles with some historical information in each, as is the usual way. Tiamut supports this position. I then started to pad out the Israeli article and this has been worked on mainly by HG who has also being working on the combined article he still insists is needed. In turn Tiamut has been the main editor working on the Palestine article and, in my opinion, rather well on the historical section. Now HG has expressed his concern about the scope of the Palestine article per this talk page posting. Hope you can get involved and give some clarity to this situation.

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Another editor has added the AfD nomination of David Starr JordanAn editor has nominated David Starr Jordan, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Starr Jordan and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC) Page rename requestHi Stan.

You had indicated "pointless stamp image used decoratively" as your rationale. You are obviously knowledgeable about stamp collecting. You have also demonstrated care and thoughtfulness in your edits. In the spirit of improving the article, I am seeking a better understanding of how you believe this improves the article rather than a defense of your edit. I am disinclined to revert your edit, since it is clear you intended the edit to improve the article. I generally only remove vandalism or make minor corrections to polio related articles, since I contracted polio at the age of eight months and may have a conflict of interest. I believe the image is appropriate since it shows the use of the killed virus Jonas Salk developed vaccine. Further down in the article, there is another image showing the use of the oral Albert Sabin developed vaccine. The stamp image has the caption "polio medicine developed" which I believe makes it germane. Sincerely,
Federal Duck StampsThank you for the information about my changes to the Federal Duck Stamps article. My father is the owner of Sam Houston Duck Company, where I am an employee. He asked that we reproduce his written article to replace and expand on the previous Wikipedia article. I have updated my user page as you instructed. Please let me know if I need to add more information.
Block of TheEditrix2I know that it's already expired at this point, but I wanted to express a concern about your block of TheEditrix2 (talk · contribs) earlier today. As near as I can tell, there was no warning to her talkpage. The last comment to her page was on April 17, and then the next note was today, when you told her that she'd been blocked for 3 hours.[2] Per WP:BLOCK#Education and warnings, a cautionary note is recommended unless there's an urgent problem. I'm also a bit concerned about your "uninvolved" status, since you're a member of WP:PLANTS. Then again, WP:UNINVOLVED only goes so far, especially for an editor such as yourself who is involved in so many topics! :) Now, I do agree that there are things to be concerned about as regards TheEditrix2's editing, especially the note on her userpage. But she's been a longtime editor with over a thousand edits, who routinely does rapid-fire work without much complaint. Surely a caution would have been more appropriate than a block? Or are there other circumstances or communications that I am unaware of? --Elonka 07:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Toddst1 (talk) 15:05, 14 August 2008 (UTC) US Stamp CopyrightHi Stan Shebs, Thanks for your comments regarding the copyright status of US Postage stamps. Actually, I dont disagree that many of the various stamps at issue are public domain and I understand the pre-1979 criteria. The issue is where use of the wikidedia PD-USGov tag may or may not be appropriate. I found several stamps where the date is not provided in the description or the stamp (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Pumpkinseedsunfish.JPG and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki_eisenhower.JPG) which used PD-USGov and I also found the use of the Post Office logo covered under tag. I changed several older stamps to simply use PD-Old which covers any published material before 1923. I noticed that when the images of many of these stamps where orignally uploaded to wikipedia, they where done so using the wikipedia PD-STAMP tag, which is appropriate. When they were moved over to commons, they were converted to the PD-USGov tag presuably since there is no PD-STAMP tag on commons. While PD-USGov is probably ok in these cases, due to the date, there was no explaination in description providing these reasons. I was involved in discussion with at one admin who suggested that any images which are mis-tagged or lack appropriate rationale should be marked for speedy deletion. Personally, I'm not a big fan of speedy deletion, but I can understand that arguement. Anyway, it seems to me that the PD-OLD tag is the safest approach for the pre-1923 stamps. If you think PD-USGov is more appropriate, I'm fine changing them back. I will also request that the 1979 date be specifically added to the PD-USGov tag. It is also ok to incude both tags. Finally, a proposal could be made for porting PD-Stamp over to commons. Please let me know your preference. Thanks again... Dspark76 (talk) 14:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
CharnockHey - so there's a few major changes going on to Job Charnock, some of which I'm finding slightly questionable, as the user making them has been reverted multiple times, and sometimes the user is just removing information seemingly randomly. As you were the original writer, I assume you have something I lack, which is knowledge of the subject: would you mind taking a look for me? It's User:59.93.178.151 who's making most the edits - I've tried to revert/amend when I can, but the user is editing at a pretty ferocious pace, and I can't keep up without violating WP:3RR.

Ever since I created the articles on Sarah Palin's churches and pastors, people have been trying to have me blocked. They have deleted my edits, citing "unreliable sources". Examples of the "unreliable sources are CBS News and Times of London, and the content of these sources were deleted. I was accused of canvassing, but it was a person I never contacted, so that accusation was changed. Then I was accused of sockpuppetry, that I was pretending to be someone else (Witchieanna). The entire contents of my computer was wiped out at exactly the same time as I was blocked for editing for sockpuppetry (I have receipts for trying to recover my data, etc., which failed). I was told that this was impossible to be connected to Wikipedia, and was just a coincidence , since I never gave my email address. But I had my email enabled, so that was not true, either. When witchieanna, who was supposedly my meatpuppet, threatened some legal action, and I agreed not to fight a subpoena and not to lie under oath, and I wrote to the person who was doing all of this to me that I would help and see them in the court that they were getting me dragged into. Then the sockpuppetry thing was blocked, since it was discovered that I was not witchieanna. Then I was accused of making legal threats, because I agreed to help by not fighting a subpoena and by not lying under oath. I was blocked for this being a legal threat. After it became clear that I was not making a legal threat, but was asking to be kept out of whatever was going on, I was accused of being a meatpuppet of Anna, and blocked again. When my contribution history was looked at, the reason for the indefinite block was changed to "Obvious puppetry of some kind", and my talk page was blocked so I could not even respond to what was said about me. Anna's pages were blocked so she could not respond either. How do I find an admin who will respond, and explain why I am "obviously" involved in "puppetry of some kind". I am now being told that I am involved in "puppetry" because I sometimes go to the same internet cafe as anna, and because I know her. Is there a reasonable admin who can stop all of this from happening to me, and leave me out of whatever legal stuff is going on, which I have no direct knowledge of, and do not want to be a part of?

PS from Tautologist1. I am heading for Death Valley and Red Rock Canyon.

A tag has been placed on Category:Wines, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Wines has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). Non-free stamp useI was looking at the non-free stamps and see that most are them, about 400, are being used inappropriately in articles about the subject and not the stamp itself. To this end, I was going to start removing them for the articles and nominating for deletion the ones that are orphans not being used in stamp articles. To this end I started to construct a notice that could be posted on the article talk page to notify editors why a stamp image was removed. My initial working is here though I don't know how to reference the article name within the notice as you will see from the redlink. Do you agree with this proposal?

I think it could be reasoned that, since they have long run out of any new arguments, PBS and B2c are continuing their attack more out of spite than anything else. In short, they have become trolls. As I see it, there are basically two options available to resolve this matter: either take it to the arbitration committee, or simply continue the debate for as long as they want in the hope that they will eventually get tired and go away. Either choice includes a degree of risk: ArbCom could conceivably rule against us, or we could possibly lose another editor. On the other hand, an ArbCom ruling in our favor would not only bring this dispute to a sudden conclusion, but I'm sure it would also serve as a deterrent to any future attacks.

I'm posting to inform you of an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Bureaucrat removal, which is of relevance to you as an en.wiki bureaucrat. The discussion centres around whether bureaucrat status should be considered a 'lifetime' appointment like administrators, or whether bureaucrats should be subject to periodic reconfirmation in a manner more like the stewards. There is also consideration for a separate re-evaluation of the status of those bureaucrats who were promoted in the early days of wikipedia, when the standards at RfB were significantly lower than they are currently, and whether such users still retain the explicit trust of the community.

Moving/deleting an articleStan- Since you are an administrator, I was hoping you might be able to help me with a basic question, which I'm afraid shows how inept at this I am. I want to move the article Quarto (text), which is about books of a particular size/format, to Quarto which currently is a mini disambig page. (This is non-controversial. See Talk:Quarto (text)). The primary meaning of "Quarto" is the book size/format, and the only two other uses of the term (a board game and a town in Italy) can be mentioned and linked either at the top of the new Quarto article or on a separate Quarto (disambiguation) page. My problem is I want to move the history of the Quarto (text) to the Quarto article. (All or virtually of the existing links to Quarto are to the book size/format.) I don't know how to do this; do I have to get Quarto deleted first? Thanks. Ecphora (talk) 02:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
You created this in 2005. I found another person named 'Postl' so I changed it into a disambig, I hope you don't mind. Like the guy you redirected to, it's a person's real name even though both go by other names. I would like to know your opinion about something. If someone used the argument that since there are other people named Postl that your redirect should be speedily deleted, what would you think about that? I have encountered some editors who believe that since a family name can refer to more than one person with that name, that family names should not be redirected to a single person. I believe that disambigs are preferable in that situation, but that should only mean a redirect should be upgraded into one as people learn of more with the name, not deleted until a disambig is created from scratch. What are your opinions on this matter? Tyciol (talk) 04:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Greetings from GWillHickersHi Stan, a short while back you droped into the Postage stamps and postal history of the United States page and left some comments on my user page about the List of ships on stamps page you were trying to get off the ground. U.S. Stamps and U.S. Postal history are my main philatelic endeavors, but as topics go, 'Ships' are indeed one of my favorites. I was in the process of including images of ships on stamps on the Postage stamps' page when Mr. Ww2censor came in with his editing hatchet and put an end to that effort. This is part of what prompted me to start a page that features U.S. History on U.S. Postage stamps. For the past couple of months I have been drafting a page in a sub page in my user space and have been doing exhaustive research about U.S. History on U.S. Postage stamps and the history 'of' stamps, regarding artists, engravers and some of the politics and such behind a given stamp's production. Soon I hope to launch the page and link it up with the various history pages, but before I do I am trying to get some solid input from a few seasoned editors and administrators who are also of the Philatelic persuasion. If you have the time I would certainly value some of your input. Bear in mind that some sections are still in the draft stage.  I have been an avid reader of Wiki's history pages for many years, and am new to editing, with only three months and some 1200+ edits to my credit. I have made major contributions to the Pony express and Postage stamps and postal history of the United States pages with numerous contributions to the various pages of U.S. history. Hope to hear from you. All the best.

U.S. Space Exploration History on U.S. StampsHi Stan, I followed some of your advice and started up a smaller page. Actually this page, U.S. Space Exploration History on U.S. Stamps is from a (now cut) section from the American History on US Postage Stamps draft page. Five minutes after I launched the page I received two messages complimenting my effort, which I find sort of amazing. Is there some sort of 'Wiki-radar' that alerts one to the issuance of new pages? (Obviously I still don't know all the ropes on this ship yet.) In any event, if you get the time, check in and give it a look.

When this occurred, the page (w/ lower case letters) came up as redirected from the original title/format so I changed it back to its original format, w/ cap's. Ww2censor pointed out that only proper names should be capitalized in page titles and requested that I have an administrator 'fix' the problem. A few days ago when I changed the format back to its original (w/ caps) the page came up with no redirection required, so I am not sure what has to be 'fixed' other than removing cap's. As I want to comply with wiki' rules I want to have the page title rendered correctly but am not sure if doing so, again, will cause any problems. Can the page title be rendered at this point without it being redirected, as I have linked to the page several times before it was changed to lower-case.

Recently I added a number of links to the 'See also' section of the Definitive stamp page. A couple of subjects I included were already linked in the introduction, so another user (Philatelic project member 'Ecphora') elected to remove them. My thinking was that links in the very beginning of the intro' are often over looked as the average reader is usually still trying to digest the general theme of the page at that point, so another link for certain topics in 'See also' would do well. But if one link per topic is the rule I can live with that, but I don't know of one that outlines this. In any event, the Definitive stamp topic is one of philately's very basic topics, and as such I felt that the page should be allowed to branch out to other related less generalized philatelic pages. Not all of them of course, but a few of the basic ones. The problem now is that the user removed all of the links and went so far as to remove the 'See also' section entirely. He feels to allow one link on the page would entitle it to be included on all philatelic pages, which is not true. Many philatelic pages have links that don't occur in other philatelic pages. I was hoping as one of the Philatelic project's senior members you could come to the discussion page and weigh in on this matter. I feel that a big part of why most of the philatelic pages get very few views per day is because there are very few pages that link to them. GWillHickers (talk) 05:43, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Image UploadsHi Stan, I seem to be having some difficulty, again, with image uploads. First, when I am not working on one of the pages I created I go through the various philatelic pages and when I encounter a page that is tagged for lack of citations, if it is within my capability, I provide the references that support a given (tagged) passage. Recently I cleaned up the Admirals (philately) page and also uploaded three stamp images of King George V (Admirals) to that page, all of which are well over 50 years old and are PD. When I describe a stamp, I do so without catalog numbers. For example: Canada postage stamp, King George V, 1925 issue, 50c. The copyright tag I provided for this file is: PD-Canada-stamp and the category is Canadian stamps. The three images have been tagged for not having the correct copyright tags and/or categories. I look to other examples of stamps from similar countries (Canada, Rhodesia and New Zealand) to see what they have used in the file summary/description page and went from there, but the image files were tagged nonetheless. In any event, I am almost at wits end as to what to provide now. When I asked for clarification and help the user who provided the tags was not much help, as he did little more than chide me for past mistakes with categories, etc. I was hoping you could check out the images on the KGV (Admirals) page and see if indeed they are in error of sorts and if they are could inform me of or provide the correct copyright tags, etc. I have made two attempts but seem to be digging myself a deeper hole in the process. Any and all help at this point would be greatly appreciated. GWillHickers (talk) 22:49, 21 August 2010 (UTC) Image SourcesStan, could you take a look at a message I posted to Michael Romanov.

Джепко (talk) 09:00, 6 October 2010 (UTC) Conflict in Article of Andre Geim, winner of 2010 Nobel PrizeHi, I am a foreigner and a simple reader of Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your job. Frankly say, Editing article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Geim, is in a wrong way, by colluding of some editors and admins there. Their IDs are: Therexbanner, Gladsmile, Narking, Christopher Connor, RobertMfromLI, NickCT, Beetstra, 7. These Users are trying by reverting correct edits of the article, and doing a sort of anagram and "misusing" information in sources, show Mr. Andre Geim (winner of 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics) is not a Jewish and he has another ethnic. They seem like pure (but a bit hidden)vandalism. All correct RS sources, like: - http://www.scientific-computing.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=1, - http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/, - http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/ - http://www.gazeta.ru/science/2010/10/07_a_3426604.shtml - http://www.kfki.hu/chemonet/osztaly/kemia/ih.pdf - http://onnes.ph.man.ac.uk/~geim/pt.html - http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/ - http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/ - …
clearly show that Mr. Andre Geim is a Jewish (he repeatedly mentioned about his Jewishness, [subject of self-identification]) in ethnical point of view and his family was originated from Germany(he also several times mentioned that his family are German [origin]). Nowadays German is a general word, which could means: Citizenship, Nationality, Origin, residentship, and so on. When Geim is taking about German being of his family, clearly and logically he talks about their origin before emigration to Russia. There is the same situation about Richard Feynman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman. By the way in a reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andre_Geim_interview_to_Yedioth_Ahronoth,_Oct_15_2010,_p._25.jpg, (that several times misused by above Users) Geim also said a story concerning Jewishness (clearly in religious point of view) of his grandmother, that of course it doesn’t mean that only his grandmother was a Jewish. Now in article as I checked the history of the article, above Users by reverting the correct edits there, try to present and show by their wrong way Mr. Geim an “ethnic” German person. The point is that in any RS sources, Geim hasn’t say that he has such ethnic, and he never used word “ethnic” there. Andre Geim won the Nobel Prize in the beginning of October; unfortunately, right after his winning until now, above Users kept the text of the article in a wrong position. In any case, if you have time, please check this Users carefully. By the way USER:Gladsmile, repeatedly reverted and undid the edits there, without any explanation(even wrong one). Personaly, seems like an extrimist Vandalism. BestAlexander468 (talk) 16:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of AX

NFC image reductionHi Stan, I have removed at least seven of the NFC images on the US Presidents on US postage stamps page and have tended to the various fair-use rationals of the remaining images. (Just recently someone added a new NFC image of Reagan's latest stamp). When you get a chance could you check in and leave any additional input? I removed the NFC tag from the page, hopefully this was not premature. I have also asked user:Hammersoft for his input. Gwillhickers (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC) Anti-vandalism award

I double checked my US Scotts and it gives no exact date of first issue -- but it does say that the earliest known use was on March 24, 1856. The Smithsonian' also places the year of first issue at 1856. Where are you getting the 1857 from? In any case, there is another issue. The Jefferson stamp pictured is actually the second printing, Type II, with top and bottom projections of the design cut away, issued in 1861. I will have to replace that image with a Type I, but again, just curious where you got the 1857 date from. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 09:08, 5 May 2011 (UTC) StampDataHi Stan!

I think they should be reidentified as this is not S. liebmannianum. I noticed that those pictures were taken at the University of California Botanical Garden, but then they have it misidentified too. S. liebmannianum bears typically white dried leaves around the old stems, which gives the whole plant a whitish appearance. Flowers are also white and not yellow. Here you can read a description of this species and see pictures: http://www.crassulaceae.com/botanik/pflanzen/botspezies_seite_en.asp?main=182100&menu=1&bgt=cm&genus=SEDUM&gnr=1340 Myself I had a specimen which I believed to be Villadia batesii, but then it was properly identified by Dr. Jorge Meyrán as S. liebmannianum.
