RE: Sublime I agree that some bands are eclectic. But as far as just the writing style, it looks sloppy if it says a whole bunch of genres in the first sentence. A more detailed explanation of Sublime's style follows later in the article. Tim010987 (talk) 02:01, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Joseph L Kennedy.png ⚠ Thanks for uploading File:Joseph L Kennedy.png. 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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC) I should add that, even if the image is used in an article, it will be deleted all the same. Our non-free content policy specifically disallows the use of non-free images to show what living people look like. Clearly anyone who cared to could take the subject's picture given that he is actively seeking election. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC) I see, thank you. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2010 (UTC) new section I like the new section you put up on tea party movement and if you need help expanding the section into paragraphs, let me know. You can also email me. If you respond to this post, please do so here, as I am now watching your talk page. Thanks.Malke2010 18:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC) Thanks! It would be great if you could help expand that, I probably won't have much time to work on it. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 18:57, 31 January 2010 (UTC) Okay, I'll look at it tonight.Malke2010 19:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC) External links Yo. Wikipedia isn't a free promotional platform, so an external link to the home page of a record company on a band isn't ok.[1] MySpace links are generally WP:LINKSTOAVOID, unless there's some unusual reason. Such a reason would be that the one official site that IS allowed by Wiki is for some reason not working. In fact, that seems to be the case here. (http://www.asobrock.com) If you have insight into that, it would be better to get the non-MySpace link working, since bots routinely delete MySpace links on sight. Cheers, Piano non troppo (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC) Yeah, I have tons of insight into that. (??) I see how it's promotional to link to a record label page, but supplemental links to an official MySpace page seem really really common. A quick look finds MySpace links on Taylor Swift, Audioslave, Nelly... doesn't seem to be a well-accepted policy. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 04:20, 12 February 2010 (UTC) Don't go there. The vast majority of the FA and GA articles not only don't have MySpace, many only have the single link to the official site. I explain the reasoning in detail, here.[2] But more than that, these days the MySpace links are so far off the best Wiki standard, they look amateur. (If I had a group, I'd make sure the MySpace stayed off my group's pages.) Cheers, Piano non troppo (talk) 11:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC) Rotaries Hello, I had missed the merge discussion for Rotary, and I think there's a big issue now.

In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages. The above is a templated message.

Okip 03:20, 24 February 2010 (UTC) diff Hi MakeBelieveMonster, I saw you delete this: [3]. I've deleted it too. It's vandalism and keeps showing up on TPM and Tea Party Protests. You have to read it all the way through to realize it's vandalism. It fools everybody.Malke2010 19:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC) I was really surprised that Gwen Gale protected it but I've only seen a page protected like that once and that was Tea Party Protests. I think that got protected just recently. I don't really edit there, but I've reverted vandalism there with Twinkle.Malke2010 03:43, 17 March 2010 (UTC) Yeah, and for whatever reason Tea Party Protests gets more vandalism than Tea Party Movement. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 04:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC) I've noticed that too.Malke2010 04:54, 17 March 2010 (UTC) File copyright problem with File:Antifogmatic Cover.jpg Thank you for uploading File:Antifogmatic Cover.jpg.

unsourced claims related to autonomous cars gday, in relation to the "unsourced claims" you removed in relation to the autonomous car, I'm not sure if you don't believe me or you're just trying to make it neater. The claims I made were common knowledge to engineers involved in the field. The ability to get out of your car before it's parked has already been implemented by BMW and the discussion about navigation information being transmitted to the car electronically is extensively discussed in the rest of the article. I don't believe that citations are necessary in discussing drunk drivers or redundant passengers, as the definition of the vehicle involved the fact that humans are not required. Owen214 (talk) 14:50, 16 October 2011 (UTC) Yes, I didn't disagree with the claims, I just wanted to see them sourced. In articles on future technologies, there is often a tendency for authors to exaggerate the secondary and tertiary impacts. Thanks for adding the citations!

Hitchhiking Hello MakeBelieveMonster, regarding this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hitchhiking&diff=589171715&oldid=589164015 I agree that the hospitalityclub.org source is probably not the best and can be removed. However, I don't see how the German study supports the claim that „traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among hitchhikers“. I took a look again at the study and though I only read excerpts, it seems that there is no quantitative comparison between traffic accidents and criminal causes of death. In fact, the study mostly concerns only the dangers of criminal acts. Best regards, --Tobias (Talk) 11:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Thanks for checking the source; that's quite helpful since I can't read German. So if the study doesn't support the claim it is attached to, then I'll go ahead and remove the claim. Cheers!

Heyride moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Heyride, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
