Hello!

I just cleared this out because some editors repost the Welcome message... but I've been here awhile, and the other message was pretty useless :P

Winter-een-mas[edit]

The article on Winter-een-mas redirects to Ctrl+Alt+Del, so I removed the link you created as it simply directed the user to the original page. Just letting you know why I did it --Tim 16:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting on my talk page, nice to see you bothered to read the comment :) I don't know what happened, because I was talking about the present. I tried the link and it redirected me to the CAD article, which was clearly pointless. I've checked it out a bit better, and the capitalisation was redirecting to the CAD (i.e. Winter-Een-Mas, not Winter-een-mas). Feel free to put the link back in as I agree there's enough content, but check the link goes to the right page. --Tim 20:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! Out of interest, is there a reason you've referenced the latest set of Winter-een-mas comics, but not previous ones which explain the origins, etc of Winter-een-mas? If the article is still a work in progress, fair enough. I'm just checking whether or not there's a specific reason before I add anything which is unwanted! --Tim 21:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...the CAD article does not cover it in enough depth There is no depth needing covering.

Read this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wintereenmas

Any questions? --Calton | Talk 04:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A major gaming chain (EB Games) recognizes it Hmm, a company selling video games "recognizes" (whatever that means) a "holiday" promoting video games. Kind of like KFC "recognizing" National Chicken Eating Day. --Calton | Talk 06:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As Calton keeps deleting any attempt to work on the Winter-een-mas article, I've set up a user sub page. I think we can work on improving the article there, then when it's a good article hopefully people will see it deserves its own article. It's here if you're interested. --Tim 17:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support Liastnir :) I don't think I'll end up doing much on it for a while as I'm in the middle of A-level exams, but I'll try and help work on the page. --Tim 12:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marijuana Wiki[edit]

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Replaceable fair use Image:MacKingPromo.JPG[edit]

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MacKingPromo.JPG. 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CVU status[edit]

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you! Delivered on behalf of xaosflux 16:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Winter (Star Wars), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

USP Allenwood[edit]

Hey Liastnir:

Do you mind if I move inmate Ronald Pelton to the Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood Medium article? Because that's where he currently is. MDEVER802 (talk) 03:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Malacia[edit]

The article Malacia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Dictionary article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
