[edit] Theocratic Federal republic
That's the problem with those Theocratic Federal republics... so unstable. ;-) 'tis no more. JDoorjam Talk 20:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Theocratic Federal Republic
someone keeps changing it back to just "Federal Republic", what a shame.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rolo75 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] USCOTW
I saw that you've worked on the Bill Ritter (politician) article, and would like to encourage you to support it in the USCOTW elections. Thank you, Editor19841 22:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your support! It would really help if you rally other editors to vote for the artilce as well. Thanks again. Editor19841 21:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pixelated images
How are you connecting to the Internet? I've noticed that using a Web accelerator or connecting via wireless broadband distorts the images somewhat, but otherwise they look fine at hi-res.--Lordkinbote 19:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:ChloëSevigny.jpg
I uploaded it, and placed it in the article. you removed it, citing it not being 'fair use' justification. I really could care less, honestly, but I was a little confused, since it is a press release photo from HBO for a new show shes on. Isn't that fair use? Cornell Rockey 03:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- I still don't see any evidence that this came from a promotional kit, though it may have been. You are also meant to provide a detailed fair-use justification for each use. It's probably fair use, but not definitely. --Yamla 03:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kitty In A Basket
I notice you've replaced the PROD tag on this article a few times. You may not be aware that if the tag is removed, even by the article's author, it should not be replaced. You're welcome to take the issue to AfD, though. Joyous | Talk 02:57, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- I know it seems like it's defeating the whole purpose, and that the tag will always be removed by the article's creator, but it really doesn't happen all that often. I think I'll start an AfD, just to see what happens. Joyous | Talk 03:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation pages
I noticed that you added some detail to Glen Edwards disambiguation page which is good, but I thought I would point out a couple of things from Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Disambiguation pages follow the following standards:
- Do not pipe the name of the links to the articles being listed
- Unlike a regular article page, don't wikilink any other words in the line
I kept the content you added, which is good, helpful content, but removed the piping and extraneous links. Thanks --rogerd 04:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Michael Fitzpatrick
I just took a look at the Michael_Fitzpatrick disambiguation page. Since the Pennsvylania congressman more formally goes by "Michael G. Fitzpatrick", I suggest moving the page to Michael G. Fitzpatrick. You can do that by going to Mike Fitzpatrick. At the top, there's a "move" tab. Click that, and in the "To new title:" box, put "Michael G. Fitzpatrick". Put a reason if you like, and then "move page". You also should check for double redirects, [1], and update pages that link to the moved page. The Michael J. Fitzpatrick page looks fine. --Aude (talk | contribs) 20:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cornell needs you!
Me and a small team of editors have brought Cornell University to near-featured article status, but we still have a few things to do (see the talk page). In particular, I saw you did a lot of work on Cornell Big Red and would like you to expand the Athletics section of the main Cornell article. It doesn't describe enough significant athletic programs successes (or lack of successes) to really hit the issue with a neutral point of view. Could you help out? -mercuryboardtalk ♠ 18:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Lynah salute nov 5 2004 jpg.jpg
We need some way to verify the image's licensing status. Your friend can specify the license at their website, or they can email permissions AT wikimedia.org to give us a licensing release. As far as advice about the license goes, the question is more about your friend's goals. If they want to restrict usage to the web, GFDL is better. If they want it to be used as freely as possible, but ensure that no one makes a less free derivative work, then choose CC-BY-SA. Jkelly 18:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- We have some Wikipedia:Boilerplate requests for permission that can be used. But an email stating "I license the following images under the GFDL//CC-BY-SA/whatever" should be fine. Jkelly 18:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

- It does look like I utterly failed to leave the notice about the licensing verification problem here. I'm genuinely sorry about that, and I hope you'll excuse the mistake. I also sympathise with your frustration. You've made the effort to go out and find free, reusable content and are being asked to jump through all sorts of hoops, when literally thousands of unfree images are being uploaded every day, tagged with {{Promotional}} and often go without further comment. It isn't a great system. I'm sure that you understand, however, that we really do need to keep some kind of track of these things, and it isn't obvious to me how we should go about making the system easy on those uploading content we really want and efficiently get rid of the stuff we don't.

- No, we have to do it ourselves. We can use {{Confirmation}} when we have a ticket number to add. Jkelly 19:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cornell
I have just started WikiProject Cornell University, an attempt to thoroughly cover topics related to Cornell. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks. Thanks! —mercuryboardtalk 05:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Ivies
- Is it just me, or should New Ivies be put up for AfD for non-notability? It just smacks me as silly to write a new article for every time a magazine puts out a new list. —ExplorerCDT 23:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Razing Darkness
User:The fatal light has removed your request for speedy deletion, but I think the original request was flawed; perhaps you can explicate and cite the relevant section of the Wikipedia:Speedy deletion policy? Vectro 02:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Why hello there ;) Bellemichelle 19:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:AN/I post
Thanks for the information, fortunately he was spotted and blocked quite quickly. You can report page move vandalism on WP:AIV as for other vandalism and you are likely to get a faster response. Thanks. --pgk 19:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request for comment on Bow-tie lists
Hi,
You may have an interest, since I saw your name in the history list of the Bow tie article: There's a separate article, List of bow tie wearers and an admin is suggesting deleting it. When I looked into the Bow tie page, I found there's already a list there. I don't have an opinion on which list should remain, but one really should go. I'd appreciate your advice on the Talk:Bow tie page, if you're interested and have the time.Noroton 01:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
