[edit] re Cats Have No Lord

> So, are you going to flesh out this article, or what?

I read the book once quite awhile back and couldn't remember the whole plot let alone all the characters names. So I just filled in the template with the basic information I could find and left it for someone else with greater knowledge on the subject to flesh out. If you wish to fill it in yourself feel free, I don't have anything else to add to the article itself at this point. Lando242 13:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Percy Nobby Norton

If oyu had of read the discussion page of Nobby Norton you would have read that I emphasised that this is not his real picture but one from the band doing cover versions of his work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.178.5.25 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Requesting help with Batman Triumphant

Gidday. I was hoping you could advise me on how to handle the situation of Batman Triumphant. The article is, over all, very poor quality. While preparing an AFD submittion, I noticed there had been a discussion over it and resulting deletion. It seems one "PythonMonty504 (talk • contribs)" has recreated it, just as poorly as it was before, I'd imagine. So, I was wondering how to proceed. Another AFD discussion?

[edit] PCP

Since, as you say on the evidence page, you disapprove of "some editors ... going into prosecute-Herostratus mode", please also avoid going into prosecution mode yourself, e.g. here where you accuse others of "get[ting] in another nasty dig" and a "holier-than-thou stance". >Radiant< 12:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image scriptlet

Since you are thinking about tackling images, might I suggest you use User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js (documentation). howcheng {chat} 19:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image deletion

Greetings. I tried to answer your question on Wikipedia talk:Fair use. If you're willing, we could certainly use help deleting the backlog of images in our "deletion" categories. They are:

• Category:Images with unknown source - If the images is in the subcat for over a week ago, and if it still doesn't have a listed source, it can be deleted.
• Category:Images with no copyright tag - After a week, if there's still no copyright tag, delete it.
• Category:Images with unknown copyright status - No listed copyright status after 7 days? Zap it.
• Category:Replaceable fair use images - If it's fair use and "replaceable" (meaning a free image of the subject could possibly be created), delete it after a week.
• And last but not least Category:Orphaned fairuse images - If it's "fair use" but not used in any articles, it gets deleted after a week.

We could sure use the help! – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I replied on my talk page. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 23:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedster (comics)

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but it looks we might have an edit war at speedster (comics) between myself and Ace Class Shadow. If you could chime in with your opinion on that article’s talk page, so that we can achieve some sort of consensus, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Nightscream 10:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re article Armed Forces of the Philippines/Temp

I moved this to User:Sandstig/Armed Forces of the Philippines, as temp articles are supposed to go in userspace (in userspace, / creates a subpage of your user page, but article space is flat - the / just creates a new article with the / as part of the name). You can delete it if you don't want it anymore; if you need a history merge to merge it with the existing Armed Forces of the Philippines let me know. Herostratus 19:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. The article was placed there as per the instructions on the copyright violation template a while back when the page got blanked out. No problem with having the page deleted completely since we've removed any text that might be construed as copyvios. :) --Edward Sandstig 19:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Firefox userbox template and logo

I'm stealing them for my personal page! And there's nothing you can do about it! =)

Seriously, do I have your permission to use them? You did a very nice job with the fox pic, and from what I can see here, also a lot of worthy contributions to the wiki! Congrats. Keep it up, buddy! --Lobizón 18:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Squirrel Had To Die

Hi Herostratus. Two little things:

1) When performing a merge, you MUST leave the page you're merging from as a redirect to the destination article. This is to ensure GFDL is maintained.

2) Please make sure you use {{subst:ab}} at the bottom of an AFD discussion you close.

Sorry to nag ... Proto::type 11:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. You're not even the only one who forgot a tag on that day's AFDs :) The GFDL thing is to ensure that all necessary author attribution is maintained - all contributions to Wikipedia must be attributable (even if it's to an anon IP). Proto::type 14:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X-ray specs

It's pretty obvious you keep adding that picture to the article because it is your own picture, and not because it brings any value to the article. Because it does not. If it looked like the specs were real it might be different but your picture is so poorly photoshopped it makes Wikipedia as a whole look stupid. Also realise your bias on this subject and leave it to others to decide. Mackan 07:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Father Buu Dong

Hey, thanks for waiting while I finished up the article. There's more to add, but this should be a good start.

J.

[edit] Vinod Valloppillil

I notice that you speedied this article. I would like to know why. His claim to fame is that he is the author of the (in)famous Halloween documents, one of the best known works in opensource literature. Please take a look at the history of the article, and in google for his name and for halloween docs. Thanks, Tintin (talk) 16:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I added an external link to the Halloween documents to make it more prominent. Tintin (talk) 18:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
