[edit] AIV vs VIP

Hi Powella. I noticed you added an entry to Vandalism in Progress. That page is only for very specific cases, as described by the page's guidelines. Your alert would be better placed on Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), where it will usually be processed within minutes. Many alerts that are incorrectly placed on Vandalism in Progress are never dealt with, simply because they become old before an administrator gets to them. Thanks for your efforts. :) --lightdarkness ^(talk) 00:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Powella!
Thanks a lot for your comment on my page! --Fir0002 www 08:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question on newcomers help desk

I read what was written on the talk page, and from what I can see, there is no message there saying that the article is not to be commented on. Perhaps you and I are interpreting Jerry Picker's message differently. Either way, almost all articles are collaborative. The only pages that aren't are special pages and pages that are temporarily locked due to edit wars. And talk pages should never be locked.

As to whether or not you should edit the page, an important rule to remember is be bold, don't be afraid to edit the page if you feel something isn't right. There is no authorship on Wikipedia, you are just as much an author of that page as everyone else. But having said that, try to avoid edit wars, and your use of the talk page certainly helps. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask on my talk page.- Akamad 02:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More high school information

Hi, Andrew.

I made a suggestion about the tables you're adding to the high school list at the More information discussion. Let me know what you think. Regards, Rfrisbie^talk 23:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, again. Sorry to keep bugging you about the tables, but the latest one, St. Joseph County, is wrapping too. What do you think about shortening "School website" and "Enrollment(05-06)" enough to keep entries on one line? :-) Rfrisbie^talk 17:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I responded on the discussion page already. Do you like the suggested changes? If this were my website, I would force the table widths or add line breaks to certain places, but with wiki, the styling should be up to the user or web page that is incorporating the content. So I am not quick to make those types of changes here. That said, we can change the wording. I have no problem with that. I hadn't heard back form you on the last proposal so I didn't use that one but fear that long school names will always be a problem. Andrew Powell 18:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'll go look there.  :-) Rfrisbie^talk 19:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:12 7600 low.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:12 7600 low.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
