[edit] Wikihug
Here is a Wikihug because I have seen many of your contributions and you are a great user; I still want you on Wikipedia and I know I'm not the only one. ♥♥purplefeltangel♥♥ 21:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes - including me. --Celestianpower háblame 21:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Sometimes when an editor leaves, one is happy to be rid of him or her so that the rest of us can get on with building an encyclopedia without having to deal with that person's disruption. I can think of one editor who was banned recently about whom I feel that way. You and I had a very aggravating dispute a while ago, and I do not respect how you handled that situation, so I have been avoiding interacting with you. I do recognize, however, that you make valuable contributions. I know that a lot of people opposed your nomination for administrator, but that does not mean that they oppose you as an editor. A large number of people took the time to support your nomination because they value your contributions. We are working on a great project here, so I encourage you to reconsider. Take some time off if you need it, but after that, please come back. Ground Zero | t 22:44, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Don't Go!
I had my own I felt like leaving episode, and looking back I feel pretty silly about it, I think your alllll right! Wikipedia is about writing articles, I just imagine what this encycolpedia will be like 100 years from now, and how great every article will be.--Cloveious 16:53, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nooooooooooo!!
Please don't leave! I appreciate you and I know I'm not the only one. Don't let an RFA get you down. From what I see, those can be really brutal. Really, please come back, you do a lot of good work! HGB 18:48, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

- Yo, remember me? we had our own arguments around this time last year when I first started on wiki. Well you might have noticed than I've been inactive for a while, but I still make occasional edits. The problem is, with a project like this, unless it is your job, you DON'T have to treat it like one. Just take a casual approach. Take a well-deserved break, and don't come back unless you feel like it. Peace. LG-犬夜叉 22:53, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lightbringer Arbitration case
The Arbitration case against Lightbringer, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Lightbringer, to which you contributed, has closed. The decision is that Lightbringer is hereby banned indefinitely from editing articles and talk-pages related to Freemasonry (the closeness of the relation is to be interpretted by any sysop as they see fit, regardless of the article's title), and is placed on personal attack parole for six months from now (to expire on the 24 of May 2006). If Lightbringer violates the Freemasonry ban, a sysop may ban them for up to a week, and after five such bans, for up to a year. If they violate the personal attack parole, a sysop may ban them for up to a week.
Yours,

It is good to have you back! FullSmash26 20:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
You should stay. You have done an amazing job on Wiki especially with all the Student Organizations. You would not believe the number of people who use it as a resource to find out and link to Student Organizations. I get frustrated as well, especially on the CFS article as the CFS is constantly reverting and changing the article but you are letting them win by leaving. FullSmash26 22:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Problem @ Concordia Page
Hi, an anononymous user has been continually reverting the student activism section of the page without any comment to a version that is completely POV. I've tried repeatedely to suggest that s/he discuss it but to no avail. Is there anything I can do besides continuing this RV war? thanks djheart 05:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC) --- Just looked up at previous comments and have realized that you may have quit, sorry for the intrusion, if you cannot help me can you refer me to someone who can? thanks.
[edit] Staying On
Just saw your departure note - I'm glad you decided to stay on. Even though we seem to disagree on almost everything (I don't recall ever seeing us have the same vote on anything), ... actually, it's probably because we disgree so much that I find it good to have you still participating. The diversity of perspectives on Wikipedia is it's core strength (even if we do severely annoy each other from time to time :-) Thanks for staying and contributing! --GrantNeufeld 04:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Can passport2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Can passport2.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. -- Longhair 15:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising
The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Algonquin-plaque.jpg

|
Thanks for uploading Image:Algonquin-plaque.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media 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 media, 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. SteinbDJ 01:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry
Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:
- If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
- If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
- Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.
Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BDAbramson T 02:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reform
Wikipedia began as an open effort to create an encyclopedia of the people, by the people, for the people. Sadly, its bureaucracy has put an end to those goals. To this end, we must promote a peaceful revolution to reform it. We must eliminate the undue influence of certain people and remake Wikipedia as a people's encyclopedia. We, the reformers, are led by TJWhite who endured only briefly before suffering an indefinite block. Visit his user page to see our ideology, roughly outlined. I for one do not condone his call to vandalism. Instead, by using the power of the people, we can reform wikipedia. Join us to recreate an encyclopedia where all are equal; an encyclopedia that does not strive to become Brittannica, but rather seeks to be a one of kind encyclopedia for all of the people of the world. Please pass this message in some form to as many people as you can. Secondly, petition for the unblock of TJWhite, the one who began our glorious movement. Finally, link to his page from your user page and express your sentiments for reform on your page. Thank You, fellow wikipedians. LaRevolution 15:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Can passport1.jpg
Hello, you have tagged this image with {{PD-ineligible}}. However, it is clear that this tag is not proper. It could be used for say, simple chemical structural formulas, but not for photos! Please read Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. If no proper license will be added in seven days, the image will be re-tagged with {{no source}} and deleted. Please ask on my talk page if you have any questions. Renata 07:20, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Past AfD nomination of Intercounty Baseball League
Just noticed this past AfD and I fully support the decision to keep this article. Anyone familiar with Canadian baseball knows that the IBL is a serious men's baseball league with a long history (since 1919) that has produced several members of Major League Baseball, AAA baseball, AA baseball and A baseball, while also featuring former MLB players and former Negro Leagues players of the past. To delete it would have been a travesty. Additionally, several former IBL players have been inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum in St. Marys, Ontario. Barry Wells 16:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
-
- Further to the above AfD nomination, I'd like to add that the IBL has had numerous former MLB players in the league, including Fergie Jenkins (who's the only player to have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame), Frank Colman, Denny McLain, Dave Rozema, Paul Spoljaric, Rob Butler, Oscar Judd, Tim Burgess, Mike Kilkenny and several outstanding former Negro Leagues players.
- Additionally, many many players have been paid to play (albeit under the table), the league has many corporate sponsors, fans, competent, paid umpires, an official media guy, statistician, record books, commissioner and local TV contracts. It is serious baseball, with most parks (all but one, I believe) charging admission. The 1948 London Majors not only won the Intercounty title, but also the Ontario title, the Canadian title and the Can-Am title. Drinking beer while playing is not permitted, as one user frivously suggested. Many former IBL players have also gone on to baseball scholarships at U.S. universities, pro careers with MLB organizations or AAA ball, AA ball or A ball. The London Majors play at Labatt Park, the undisputed (to date) world's oldest baseball grounds in continuous use since 1877 (a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act) -- a park which won the prestigious Beam Clay Award as the best natural grass baseball park in North America in 1989-90.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Canadapost hq.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Canadapost hq.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.

[edit] University of Windsor Students' Alliance
I have proposed this article for deletion (along with a number of other Windsor-related articles; see my list of contributions if you care about the others). In this case, I believe that student organizations are generally covered in the Wikipedia article on their university, unless they are particularly notable - and this one does not seem to be so. For the same reason, I proposed The Lance. If you disagree, please feel free to remove my prod and either improve the articles to show why they should exist, or else argue on the talk pages that they are fine the way they are. --Brianyoumans 02:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Aufront.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aufront.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:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- 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. -- Sherool (talk) 13:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
