Union City, New Jersey

I'll try to respond to your numerous comments: (1) I'm not an admin, so I can't assist you with those matters. If your attempts to contact the editor have failed, you may want to visit Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention for guidance. You can also find admins at Wikipedia:List of administrators. (2) I'm not from Union City -- I live in neighbouring Jersey City -- but I like to contribute to NJ-related articles. (3) I see what you're trying to do with the Bergenline Ave. pictures. I think you have to put the pictures in an HTML table in order to align them to the right, but they look fine as is. (4) It is considered bad form to give yourself credit for pictures and text in Wikipedia articles, which is why I removed it for the 9/11 photograph.

By the way, I noticed that the scan on the 2000 Bergenline Ave. photo is really poor and should probably be replaced with a higher quality image. Would you be able to take a picture of the intersection? If not, I have a digital camera and could go up there -- but I thought I'd ask you since you live in the area.

Happy New Year to you too! Darkcore 07:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, regarding this article... your attempts to communicate with User:Inmytown have been moved from their main userpage to their talk page. They may not have noticed your edits as userpages don't put up the autonotification about changes like user talk pages do. Cheers! ps - I've done that more than once myself accidentally ;) --Syrthiss 00:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

This is Inmytown and I already apologized in the Union City talk page. However thanks to your recent comment you left me I am now starting to regret it. The reason why I "vandalized" the Union City page with putting my pictures was because you put up a picture that was not on Bergenline. I had to put a picture of Bergenline (not 32nd Street) to show how Bergenline Avenue is today.

Inmytown

The proper way to credit yourself for photographs is to add the credit to the image description page, which you seem to have already done, and not in the caption on the article itself. Darkcore 05:56, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment, Nightscream. And yes I did take that photograph myself however it was on 2004. User:Inmytown

I will try to take a pic of Celia Cruz Park in Union City if I get the chance ASAP.

P.S. I have a newer pic of the intersection of Bergenline and 31st that is more illustrative. ALthough I do have a question. If you took a picture yourself, what do you do with the copyright status? Thanks. User:Inmytown 16:35, July 8, 2006

Highest Hispanic Percentage in New Jersey

If you go to List of U.S. cities with Hispanic majority populations, it doesn't list selected cities in each state. It lists all cities with a Hispanic majority. If less than half of the population is Hispanic, then it's not on the list. For New Jersey, 8 cities are listed, but for California and Texaco there are several dozen each. Of the other 558 municipalities in New Jersey, none are more than 50% Hispanic. Of the 8 listed in new Jersey as being over 50% Hispanic, Union City is the highest, at 82.3%, ahead of West New York at 78.7% and Perth Amboy at 69.8%. The one catch is that this excludes municpalities over 25,000 population. So, perhaps there is a town of 24,000 that is 90% hispanic? There might be, and I could double check that. I'm still trying to get a ranking from the Census Bureau of all municipalities in New Jersey, but I can check any place one at a time. Let me knof if this helps. Best wikiwishes for the New Year in Union City and all of New Jersey! Alansohn 03:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Incorrectly named page

You could have it moved, which requires submitting a request. i'd suggest creating a new James E. Buttersworth and populating it with what's now at James E. Butersworth. Then make James E. Butersworth a redirect to James E. Buttersworth. Let me know if I can help further with this. Alansohn 04:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I created the redirect for you. All I did was to edit and blank out the old page. I clicked on #REDIRECT[[]] on the special characters menu at the bottom of the screen. Then I inserted the new page name between the double brackets. Done. Alansohn 21:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
BTW, moving a page does not require a request unless the target already exists and its history contains non-redirect pages. See the "move" tab at the top of every page. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 22:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:WanSyke1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WanSyke1.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 00:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

It still needs a Image Copyright Tag --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 03:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Yup I saw you were teh photographer, I would suggest either licensing it under the GFDL or under a Creative Commons license ({{GFDL-self}} or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} I use usualy). --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 03:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
All images that are uploaded to Wikipedia can be used for commercial useage, and anyone can download them. Both the GFDL and the CC-BY-SA requires attribution (in teh cc By = attribution). If people reuse the image under either tag they have to credit you as the photographer. As far as admin stuff, shoot me an email.--Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 04:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
GFDL is a very long license that has to be reprinted with your work, where the CC license is alot shorter and doesnt require duplication of the license. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 04:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
In the Creative Commons license, CC = creative commons BY = attribution required and SA = share alike, if it is modified it has to be licensed with the same license. --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 05:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:S4-lana2.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:S4-lana2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --OrphanBot 07:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Philip Payne / West New York

I can't make any promises, but if I ever get a chance to create the article, I will use the link you provided as a source. I've been concentrating on creating pages for New Jersey school districts, and every time I get near finishing one megaproject I think of one more interesting megaproject.... Such is the life of the Wiki-obsessed. Alansohn 00:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Green Lanterns

Wow, you've done a lot of work on the Green Laterns introduced in recent issues of the Corps. comic. I think you've done a good job, but you might want to go through and add headings like 'Biograpy' and add the Template:Superherobox. It shouldn't be too hard to mimic the other minor Lantern articles.

Thanks again. --waffle iron 06:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Apology

I apologize if my "accusation" was taken the wrong way. I did not mean any harm by it and did not mean in any way to violate any rules. However, let me explain why I even made it. I actually asked Mr. Lynch about this mysterious "Nightscream" character (not so mysterious now), who has been updating his wiki article with seemingly everything he had mentioned to me regarding the false information. I joked with him and asked if it was him, and he responded in a very ambiguous way, saying that he didn't have a personal account yet, but also not clarifying whether he was indeed involved with you in any way. My comment was merely a jest, because based on his response I figured he would see it, but I realize that it was wrong to make and I apologize. Flypanam 04:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Municipal copyrights

Nightscream, thanks for your many uploads, but I'm afraid all of those that are from municipal sources will have to be deleted unless permission is granted. Municipalities retain copyright like any other incorporated entity. It is only Works of the United States Federal Government that are automaticly in the public domain. Please audit your uploads to correct this. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Kristen Kreuk

Hi. I found a nice image of Kristen from a Neutrogena ad in an issue of Teen People. Are low-res scans of ads permissable in the same way that magazine covers, screenshot, comic book covers, etc., are? Is there tag for mag ads? If so, what is it?

Also, I have a question about my Talk Page. It's gone! The History is still there, but all the material is gone on the "current" page, which just says that there is no page by that name, and there is no indication that the last person blanked it, nor any way to go to the most recent version and "save" it that I know of. Can you advise? Thanks. Nightscream 00:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

In general, advertisements can't be used as illustrations in Wikipedia. As for your talk page, it was probably a temporary glitch in Wikipedia. --Carnildo 03:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Even if all the text has been photoshopped out? Oh well. And thanks for the heads-up about my page. Nightscream 04:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Yes, even if the text has been photoshopped out. --Carnildo 07:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Joe Mad

I re-added the Original Research tag you removed from the article Joe Madureira, as the sentence "his popular work lead to a new interest in Japanese entertainment in the U.S." seems to be original research and needs to be sourced. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 11:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Katelyn Faber

I will probably recuse as I have strong feelings against publishing the name or image of an alleged rape victim. Fred Bauder 13:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I removed the image from the article and ask that it not be re-inserted until consensus is reached by a large number of experienced users. WP:BLP should be followed in this case. Fair use of images is also an issue. --FloNight talk 14:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Nightscream, I think the arbitration case is premature. Have you tried the other steps to resolve your content dispute? Other methods of dispute resolution Third opinion, straw poll, Mediation, Rfc for content or user behavior? It is possible that you have done these things and I missed them. regards, FloNight talk 15:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Nightscream, there are two issues here that overlap. One deals with user behavoir that is disruptive. The other deals with a content dispute. Annoyed as you are at the other editor (and likely them at you), I hope you will agree that neither of you is being greatly disruptive to the encyclopedia. Those are the type of cases that end up in front of the arb comm. I suggest that you withdrawl the arb case and persue other types of dispute resolution.
The first step is usually getting input from a alot of experienced editors. By accidently bringing the arbitration case, you have already advertised this content dispute. : ) I think you will get feedback and discussion from alot of users over the next few days. If that doesn't happen, we can start a Rfc. You can read about your options at WP:DR FloNight talk 18:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't able to view the image under dispute. Do you have a link to it on the web? If we are publishing the name of the victim I don't see why we can't publish a public photo as part of a tabloid cover. In fact, the tabloid cover is very appropriate. (Maybe a blur?) - Tεxτurε 21:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

licensing/use of your images

I'd just like to ask if you're aware that the images you've licensed under CC-BY-SA, such as Image:TempleOfJupiter.jpg, can be used freely by anyone obeying the terms of the license. I'm asking this because you've written "If you want to use this or any other one of my images outside of Wikipedia, or commission me for an original piece, contact me on my Talk Page" on the image pages in question, and I don't want you to be under the impression people are required to ask you in order to use the images outside Wikipedia if you're licensing them in this way. If you're already aware of this, my apologies for bothering you. --Fuzzie (talk) 05:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

CC-BY-SA does require people to give you full credit and handle the image under the same terms as Wikipedia, but that doesn't necessarily prohibit commercial use - people can sell copies of Wikipedia, as long as they adhere to the license terms.
If you want to continue using your images on Wikipedia, you can't really change that - all Wikipedia images nowadays need to either be covered under Fair Use law, or be licensed so that commercial use is allowed. There are some old images which prohibit commercial use, from before these rules were introduced, but they're slowly being removed. There are various reasons for this, for instance that the project wants to be able to sell DVD or even paper copies of the encyclopedia in the future.
To answer your other question, images put out by US municipal/city governments are generally covered by copyright law, so usually your only option is to justify such images under Fair Use and use a Fair Use tag. The same generally applies to US state governments, with the exception of North Carolina who generally release their materials under the public domain thanks to state-specific law. If you believe that a certain municipal/city government licenses their images so that they can be freely used on Wikipedia without having to depend on Fair Use, point me to the relevant details and I can hopefully help you further. Hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask me to clarify or answer other questions. --Fuzzie (talk) 17:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Sections disappearing

Sorry for taking so long to reply to you, it's been a hectic few days! I think it's a weird MediaWiki bug, I'm afraid, it's unlikely to be anything you did wrong or anything you can do differently in the future. I've fixed it, anyway, hope it looks fine now. --Fuzzie (talk) 22:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Punk'd

Hi Nightscream. I have been meaning to do something about the Punk'd article for some time now. I just never got around to it. You are completely right with your points. I'll try to keep a closer eye on it and keep it clean, but thanks for taking the initiative and bringing it up. Also, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Mel Etitis has also left a note on BigBang19's talk page about this issue. Just so you know, I have moved your comment from BigBang19's userpage to his talk page for you. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 08:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I've left a comment at his Talk page; let's hope that he starts discussing the article instead of just making his edits. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Nightscream, I would have posted my 2c as per your request on my Talk page however I feel I have little to add to what you and PS2pcGAMER already posted. So for now I'll just heartfully agree and will put Punk'd back watchlist. Intinn 08:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep got him blacklisted so if he moves a single letter out of line I'll sort it :) Thanks for your message - Glen T C 17:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I am really hesitant to block him. He obviously keeps trying to push the limits and he keeps adding inappropriate content. I've only been an admin for a little over a week, so I don't think I am ready to deal with the more controversial issues. His latest round of edits here could be seen as well intentioned. If it were simple vandalism like some of his previous indiscretions such as blanking the page, removing small portions of valid content, or violating the 3RR (well, he almost did), I'd block him immediately. I am just hesitant to block him over content disputes. I'd suggest taking it up on the complex abuse page. I unfortunately don't have the time right now. I'm sorry I couldn't assist more. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 21:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Blacklisting

Blacklisting is done via VandalProof - it means I can track all his edits and reverse them with one button - unfortunately I have to be online to do it and I've only just gotten up (it's like half 6am here in New Zealand). I'll look into it now - Glen T C 18:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes just click on the link above - and tomorrow version 1.1 is being released which will have improvements on this one. You need to be approved to use it by a moderator - lucky you're messaging one I guess! :) Now, about BB19, the List of celebs edit he does, the info seems accurate so I don't have a problem there. But, I have just warned him on Punk'd, if he reverts JUST ONCE more please tell me or an admin and he'll be blocked for 24 hours. - Glen T C 18:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

RE: Punk'd

Hello, you left a message on my talk page concerning the current status of the Punk'd article and the changes made by User Bigbang19. I'd like to thank you for bringing it to my attention; I agree completely and have left an appropriate message on his talk page. Also, your artwork is great; although it's rather odd that I've come in to contact with the creator of the caricature I've been seeing on JR's site for so long through wikipedia, of all things. Thanks,

Judd Winick

Ok here is some 'actual thought' first please stop your own uncivil behaviour and start talking to me rather than at me. Your article is unbalanced and non point of view. I appreciate that you have spent a great deal of time writing it but I and a great many other contributers are unsatisfied with it.

Far to much of the article is given to his experiences in the real world TV show and his GLT experiences. He is a cartoonist and writer and most of the article should be about this.

The Real World piece should be in the article devoted to the television show a simple link to that is sufficient. I agree that his Pedro work/assoication must be mentioned but not so extensively. This does not read as a encyclopedic biographical article it reads as a press release.

I am aware of your previous deletion/revertion 'wars' on other articles mainly the Wolverine comic and don't want to get into one with you now.

Please edit this article down to a reasonable length with the majority of it focusing on his professional work. If you don't want to do this we can get try to get an unbiased 3rd party advocate to look at the article. Tell me what you want to do.

Request for your assistance on Sidri article

Hi. I started an article on the Sidri recently. Someone placed tags on it questioning whether it merits an article. Since you put the mention and link for Sidri in the Lockheed article, I'd like to invite you over to the Sidri talk page and/or to edit the Sidri article. I figured it might be of interest to you. --JamesAM 22:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Samuel L. Jackson

Please, i'm an ITALIAN WIKIPEDIA USER. The law in Italy is very restrictive, so we have not the fair use that you can use. We must use draws, sketches and other to represent a screenshot from a movie. Since you are very good in drawing (i'm good too, but not like you), can you draw me a picture of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction like this?

PLEASE, IN ITALY IS A SHIT - LAW.

--El Tarantiniese 09:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

In italian wikipedia (as you can see) there are not images of stranger movie, cause we've not the {{Fairuse}}. Since this, we can add some images with this license:

{{cc-by-sa-2.5}}

or in

{{pd}}

So, i've added in italian Wikipedia some of your gorgeous drawings, such as Quentin Tarantino's image. I've tried to draw Samuel L. Jackson (as you can see here) but I've not made it well. I've understood that I can only draw and colour the super-heroes not people! So, since you are very good, can you draw Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta (like here or here) ?

Then, when you've drawed it, add the cc-by-sa-2.5 license, so I can add it in italian wikipedia. Thanks (why not, we can add it to the english wikipedia too!)

Professor X

  1. The middle name can go in the SHB but not in the article. This is WikiProject Comics policy as I understand it.
  2. I'm not sure why "ruthlessly leaving" is important. I don't believe I edited it back in, and I don't remember that being a discussion with you.
  3. I don't understand what you are telling me about the intro. You may have me confused with another editor.
  4. It has been generally accepted by the WikiProject that literary present tense is appropriate for fictional character articles. See Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man. For more informations, see: Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Tense, & Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/Archive 11#Literary present tense.
  5. As for extraneous details, the article is about Xavier and not the X-Men. We don't need the resolution to Magneto's teaching because he is not the subject of the article. I haven't read "Inferno", and I don't know what happens in it, but I'm not editing Magneto's entry, and those are not my words.

Your edit to Adolph Rupp

When you wrote: "His coaching career is depicted in the 2006 film Glory Road, in which he is portrayed by Josh Lucas." it reads as if the film covers his entire coaching career. I have not seen the film, but it is my understanding that it mainly deals with the events surrounding the 1966 NCAA Championship. Shouldn't it be something like "Coach Rupp is depicted in the 2006 film....."? --rogerd 00:44, July 4, 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PingPongMyth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PingPongMyth.jpg. The image description 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images 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.

Deletion Review

I have tried to clarify my comments at the Nitcentral deletion review. Basically my point is that most wikipedians feel that failing WP:WEB is a reason to delete and so unless there is a specific reason that the subject is important anyway (beyond I like it and think it makes wikipedia better) then it should stay deleted.

I thought that breaking the fourth wall remark was so good. Is that an actual phrase? Anyway, you made a number of corrections and called Hogan a she, dude. lol. It's cool. I fixed what needed to be and hope you will like it. ;) TareTone 03:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I saw that breaking the wall. I thought you were being clever. Oh well, I guess I'm a little out of the figures of speech. Anyway, much of the information you add are spoilers. I would encourage you to go back and look over the article to get rid of any spoilers as repeats of the show does air. No offense or anything, but to me, spoilers are the worst thing on wikipedia. My adjectives were fairly accurate, but when I go to a page like I have in the past like South Park (visit the page and see what I mean : / I get so outraged when I look through information and all of a sudden I realize I'm reading everything on a particular show I haven't seen. Thank you for responding TareTone 04:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Could you add your ( ` ` ` ` ) to my page when you write me. Thank you :) TareTone 04:29, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I see where you're coming from. You're right. My stuff is a point of view. But just for the sake of discussion, you didn't think it was outlandish of Linda to try to own a monkey as a pet or go outside banging on pots and pans to cause a big disruption when she didn't get her way with the neighbors. And you didn't think it was kind of outlandish for her to get upset with the courts because they thought she owns to many animals and she got mad because she believed she should have all 20 or 30 of them. And what about Brooke. And what about Brooke. The whole time her dad was trying to hook her up with a huge singing career, she could have this huge life ahead of her, she just whined that he was embarrassing her the whole time even when he wrote that friendly thing in the air using the airplane saying pick my daughter. By the way, your spoiler incident sound frustrating with Harry Potter. lol! Yea, at least put a spoiler warning on the Harry Potter Page. People, I tell ya. lol! Sorry about that. Thanx for signing your name. TareTone 18:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I guess I have no reasons to change the article in regards to what we're talking about then. You make some good points, good points. Although, I guess she doesn't whine enough to called whiny anyway. It's only with her parents. It's not like she whines with Nick or her friends or anything. I remember her whining when her parents tried to make her only eat healthy foods a lot though. I guess that's why I brought it up. The majority of that episode was of her whining about that. That may be tough though, Being a skinny guy, I guess I don't know what it's like to have a hard time staying away from fat foods. Anyway, I thought it was fun talking over our edits. Hopefully we'll run into each other in editing another wiki page :) TareTone 05:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:CeliaCruzMural.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CeliaCruzMural.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 {{fairusein|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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 22:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Re. your post on WP:AN

I've deleted his edits to this page containing your personal information. (They're still viewable by administrators; if they're still objectionable in that state, follow the instructions here.) I'm not going to block him, since his actions regarding your name could have resulted from simple cluelessness instead of malice, and his afd shenanigans are two and a half months old. I'll drop him a warning, but I'm going to be out of town for the next few days, so I probably won't be able to follow up on it. Please bring it up again on WP:AN if he continues to be a problem. —Cryptic 02:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:StackBeards.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:StackBeards.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 01:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Editor Review

Responding to your first question, I'm not trying to imply that citing WP:AGF is incivil, only that enforcing it is. For example, mentioning to "Please assume good faith" would be considered civil, whereas stating that "You have violated WP:AGF, violate it again and you will be reported" is not.

Nor have I menioned that WP:AAGF was a policy that one must follow, only that it contains some suggestions that one could follow, similar to pages like Wikipedia:No angry mastodons or Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot.

As for your second question, usually project edits helps a user to better connect with the community (such as with WP:ESP or WP:PR) or become more experienced with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (such as with WP:AfD and WP:DRV), both of which are qualities needed to become an admin. --TBCΦtalk? 07:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:administrator intervention against vandalism

Hi, because AIV is for reporting blatant vandalism only (a la vandalism after a test4 warning), and your post there didn't appear to fall under that guideline, it is better suited for the Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents where administrators monitor that page, and take care of situations like what you posted on AIV. Your situation will be better handled at that location. Remember that AIV is for reporting blatant, obvious vandalism only, whereas the WP:AN/I is more geared towards situations like what you posted. Hope this helps, // Pilotguy (Cleared to land) 14:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it depends... WP:VAND might answer that question. As long as there are test 1-4 warnings on the talk page of a user, then you can report it to AIV. Let me know if I can help with anything else. // Pilotguy (Cleared to land) 19:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: My Editor Review

Hello there, I am glad my review was useful! For deleting images, the best way to do it with fair use images is to unlink it from every article where is being used, and apply the {{subst:orfud}} in the image page. That will indicate the image is a fair use image that is not being used in any article, which would make administrators delete it in a week. Note that you can reupload the image in the same image page (there must be a "Upload new version" or similar link, so when you resize an image, you can just upload it in the same name instead of uploading it as a new image. As for size, you need to consider the width and height primarily. A 30kb jpeg with a resolution of 1024x768 could be considered too big, while a 900kb of 300x300 can be considered fine enough.

Check Help:Minor edit for how to recognize minor edits. Basically, rearranging some information, typos, grammar modifications and fixing links can be considered minor edits. The 35% given by mathbot means that, out of your minor edits, you only used summaries in 35% of them. Note that mathbot retrieves a lot of your edits to calculate that, that means it takes it a lot to find 150 minor edits to calculate.

As for adminship, just try to spend some time at the administrators' board, where you will see how administrators handle different matters. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 13:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't use Macs, but shouldn't that information appear in the "More info" section of the dialog you just showed me? As for guidelines about size, there are none. Usually, if you upload the image at Wikipedia, and get the "Download high resolution" thing in the image page, then it is generally too big (if it is fair use, that is, free images can be as big as you want). -- ReyBrujo 21:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to Speedster (comics)

Hey. Thanks for the expansion of the overall content at Speedster Most of it helped. However, as I stated in my comments on the talk page, the version you reverted to had problems, either way. Also, the excessive use of images—which don't necessarily display anything vital to the content—is troubling. Furthermore, I fear you are trying to overgeneralize, perhaps out of the belief that you have no other options. But you do. If you want a general article, I'd recommend making one. How about fictional characters who move at superhuman speeds? The title is unwieldy, but appropriate. Anyway, I hope you can collaberate better and more civilly in the future. Wikipedia is a group effort and I'd hate to see you lose your way by disregarding that fact. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 09:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Why are you asking me to get involved in this discussion? What do you think I could contribute, because all I can think of is that Lightning McQueen and other characters from Cars are not speedsters because they're just considered top-line athletes in that universe. Someone tried to say they were all Speedsters a few months ago, but since their speed wasn't a superpower, I disagreed and removed it. RMS Oceanic 11:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I have reviewed the article in question, as you asked. Although I agree that Ace's tone can be abrasive, his substance is, in this case, what I can agree with. YOur edits seem to add some information, but they also added a great deal of 'fluff', that is, more verbose was of saaying somethign which could be phrased more briefly. Also, your edits include a fair amount of weasel words, such as 'some people' and 'commonly'. These are generally discouraged. IF i wasn't prepping for a weekend of home improvement, I'd track down for you a number of useful links about this, but I'm sure you know where they are, it looks like you've got a fair amount of experience here. If I had to pinpoint the issue at hand, you write in a significantly different style than Ace, and apparently, me. I'd recommend reviewing the weasel words policy, and relaxing. A final note:DOn't take ace's attitude to seriously, but do look at the substance of his edits. He's a solid editor, just not a sunny disposition at all times. (and sometimes, he's just funny.) ThuranX 03:48, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for inviting my input. Honestly, I'm not a comic book expert- never read one in my life. I appreciate your problems with Ace. Seems to me many who deal with him come away feeling a bit burned. I've had issues with him before. He talks an excellent game, but his ego is often counter productive to his arguments. I've read the speedster discussion page, and one thing I do understand is that encyclopedia articles should be consise and tightly written. It's a fine balance between info overload vs. a bland article. I never understood the "too many pictures" argument, seems to me this only enhances an article by blending visuals with print. I have read various "fluffy" articles that go on and on without relaying any relevant ideas/information.
Basically, don't get discouraged by others lording over you. Keep doing what your doing, cause it's a learning experience and overtime you'll become a fine editor- as long as you maintain the best interests for Wiki as a whole. Thanks! Reynoldsrapture 08:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Glad to that arguement has been settled. --Basique 13:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

This seems to have been discussed already at Talk:Rachel Green, where a survey/vote was held, which resulted in "no move". If you have new information to support a move, I'd suggested posting it there. --Geniac 16:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:McCullough.jpg

Hi ... I just noticed your comment on the IFD page regarding this image. I apologize for not noticing it sooner.

Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information about asking for permission to use other people's content and see [1] for Jimbo's comments on the subject.

The simple version of the image copyright policy is that they have to be "free" as in free speech, not "free" as in free cookies.

If you create a work (such as an image), you own the rights to that image. Even if you grant someone rights to use that image for a particular purpose, you are still the only one who can authorize anything else to be done with that image.

But Wikipedia, as a "free" encyclopedia, requires that all content be available under a "free" license. In short, the creator of this image must be willing to allow anyone to use it for any reason.

If they are willing to release it into the public domain or under an acceptable free license (such as {{GFDL}} or {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}}, then that would be fine. But if they are only willing to grant permission for it to be used on Wikipedia, that is insufficient.

Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission gives good advice about requesting permission and tells exactly what magic words need to be said.

I hope this helps. If I can help you further, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. BigDT 23:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

RE:For the Cause

I fixed the problem - if you go back to "For the Cause" You'll see I added a References section and placed code in there to make the your references appear in a list. You have to use that code to get it to work. Cyberia23 20:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly how it works, or if it's something new or whatever. That's just the way I saw how it was done on some other pages, but I think there are other ways of doing the same thing. I'm not sure if it's a javascript or something built into the WikiMedia code for the site itself. If you set up your reference tags like you did on other pages and add that same code it should work. Honestly, I'm not very techno-savvy so I'm really the wrong person to ask. Cyberia23 00:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I did some checking - and there is another way to do it. If you check out "Where No Man Has Gone Before" you see a reference list with a different code - but if you look at the reference tags in the article they are different than what you and I used. And they are rather complex. This set up however makes one reference link at the bottom for multiple entries that reference the same link. In "For the Cause" you reference only two sources but the list repeats those sources for every reference you made. The other way on WNMHGB lists only one link for multiple references to the same thing, and distiguishes them with a, b, c, etc. I suggest you ask Morwen who was the one who set up that list and ask how she did it. She may be able to help you better than I can. Cyberia23 00:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you left me a message about the stardate a little over a month ago. I apologize for not responding - I haven't been active on Wikipedia for a while. Glad you got things sorted out though. In the future hopefully I'll respond a bit sooner. :-) Moulder 22:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

refs

hiya. ok, I've gone on For the Cause (DS9 episode) and merged the refs. the way it works is, the first time you use a ref you specify a name, like <ref name=thingy>Thingy. Thingy</ref>, and then when you want to refer to that ref again, just do <ref name=thingy />.

I find using the {{cite book}} stuff is nice but not compulsory. Morwen - Talk 11:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
