Unspecified source for Image:Scinfaxi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Scinfaxi.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 00:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Yuktobania.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Yuktobania.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 00:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What_R_U_DOING

Please give me the reason why you did at Kai Tak Airport. Why unnecessary? - Caiguanhao 11:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please inform me next time

Before you do a mass revert in all the pages i added categories to, can you please tell me next time. I today, like i did with Wei and Shu yesterday, added categories to Wu generals, just to find out you disagreed and decided to to a mass edit flip. I don't mind if you disagree and revert, but if you're going to do something like that can you please inform me so i don't spend a half an hour doing the same thing the next day. Thank you. --EveryDayJoe45 16:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I didn't revert everything though. _dk 22:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. When someone mass reverted you, I think that's a cue for you not to continue. 22:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Well i only saw that you reverted the Guan Yu category, so ia assumed you did the same with the rest. But the thing was i added the categories and moved on so I was unaware that many were reverted, so today i finshed up, and when done realized i just spent all thattime and did all that work that i could have spent doinf something else. Thanks again. --EveryDayJoe45 23:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll remember to notify you next time. _dk 23:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Us

Is it me or are we constantly clashing heads? I mean I don't really mind it because you are clearly a good editer out to help the cause of wikipedia, but it seems we are always disagreeing on various issues, and on what does or does not belong. As i said earlier, I don't think its anything hostile, its probably not even a friendly rivalry, its just something I noticed. --EveryDayJoe45 01:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant no offense. I don't mean to disagree with you always, it is just unfortunate that we stand on opposite sides much of the time. We have different set of values, I guess. _dk 02:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

wikibreak..

Xin Dynasty

I merged the Wang Mang page to the Xin Dynasty page as had already been suggested which you reverted under the summary 'very messy' when, in fact my merge was a clean paste of the current data without obscuring the main information on The Xin Dynasty with Wang Mang's information. Surely the solution is to improve the merge if it wasn't very good rather than seperate the two again after the merge has been proposed? I'm not irate at this decision, rather I respect it but am having difficulty trying to comprehend it; as my goal was only to improve an article could you offer me an explanation as to the neccesity of the revert? AiselneDrossel 11:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A merge does not mean a copy and paste, however clean it might be. I also don't think the two topics should be merged in the first place. _dk 22:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chin Gee Hee

Hi dk, User:Jmabel is an old friend of mine.. he's working on Chin Gee Hee .. if there's anything you could do to help, I'd be eternally in your debt. later! Ling.Nut 21:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard of this person before, so I can't do a thing. _dk 22:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Make it collapsible, Mr. Sulu!

• Aye aye captain! Ling.Nut 05:33, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Though this is only a temporary measure intended to shove the whole thing under the carpet for a while, we'll need to figure out a way to refactor the template in the future. But that can wait until you all are free :) _dk 05:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"fuck" in Moetan

thanks for fixing my mistake that that entry on "fuck" was from Moetan. Can you tell me what book it is from? Is it something that's a parody of Moetan? Thanks! Luvcraft 21:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is a parody of Moetan, but its name escapes me. Sorry. _dk 00:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

done with all three tests...

Hi dk. I'm done with all three tests. I won't know 'til the end of the month if I passed.. and I don't have a strong feeling one way or the other about whether I passed all three... I will be mostly busy in real life (with the exception of a planned & scheduled one-day Wikipedia marathon early next month) until at least mid-September or maybe even October! But please don't hesitate to drop me a line if something really needs to be done. I will definitely slide it into my schedule. :-) --Ling.Nut 15:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...uh oh, but PS I dislike the "sanguo" image as it appears in the wikiproject template, & vastly prefer the old one. Did I miss the bit where we discussed switching it? :-) --Ling.Nut 00:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bold, revert, discuss :) Feel free to revert. _dk 02:58, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(undent, as per usual) Did you see the stuff above that? Ling.Nut 03:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes I did. Good luck on your test scores. _dk 05:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weird Warning

I noticed an editor left you a false warning on your talk page. I removed it. (Strange editor; not sure what to make of him.) -WarthogDemon 22:57, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. _dk 23:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

good news

Hi _dk, hope all is well with you! Just dropped by to share some good news -- Ling.Nut 18:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, congratulations! _dk 22:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pang Tong

Valley of the Fallen Phoenix was named after Pang Tong sometime after he died, contradictory to popular belief, it is not ironic at all. --EveryDayJoe45 16:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the place is only given in the novel, so it's fiction to begin with. When Pang Tong came to the place (in the novel), he took notice of its name and thought it was a bad omen. And surely, he died there soon after. If there is such a place called Valley of the Fallen Phoenix in real life, it must have been named after the novel which would be irrelevant to the historical Pang Tong. _dk 21:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah its a real place because i went there when i visited China. Whether it was named for the novel i don't know, but it definitely was named after the Three Kingdoms. --EveryDayJoe45 23:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: now that i think about it it might just have been called the Valley of the Phoenix when translated, but still it was just some like shrine-like gift shop thing. So you are probably right. --EveryDayJoe45 02:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Gundam Musou.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gundam Musou.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How's things?

Thought I'd log in and have a look around, see if Wikipedia had blown up without me here to help. Looks like it hasn't... yet :) Gamer Junkie 08:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't been up to much (in Wikipedia) since you left, for some reason. So except for reverting various idiocies in our Wikiproject, everything's fine for me here :) _dk 08:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you'd be crushed under the weight, but it's good to hear it's been smooth sailing. I'd intended to start editing again in a week or two, but I just got a job with a logistics company which has me going 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for the entire forseeable future. Great money but no time/life/whatever. To be honest, spending the only 2 or so hours of personal time I'm getting doing more stuff on Wiki is not so appealing. I've asked for night work, which would be only 8 hours/six days, and that would certainly be better. Gamer Junkie 08:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand that, cause Wikipedia can be stressful and I'm starting to lose interest in editing as well...(I've got university work and stuff). I certainly hope you can come back to editing soon, but more important is that you do what is best for you. So don't sweat it and good luck on your job :) _dk 09:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

Why you reverted the page?? It's one of Japanese folklore, isn't it?? Northwest1202 07:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the template, you also added other things (like the lead paragraph of another article), so that made it look like vandalism ripe for reverting. Sorry. _dk 09:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I didn't realize it. I will be careful not to do that. Thanks. Northwest1202 13:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
