The Observer July 01 2007 For Your Information by Tim Adams ROGER TALK 09:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Would you like to upgrade from an honorary member to a full member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Criminal Biography? Your work on the Westies was greatly appreciated I think you would be a great asset to our project. Jmm6f488 07:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
((User:UBX/User Salem Trials Interest)) (user name MBX, box title Salem Trials Interest) Welcome home from your vacation. I tried to use this box on my own user page today, but it kept falling off the right side of the frame (attached at its left edge to whatever box precedes it), unlike all the other boxes there. I don't know if you're the right person to ask, or what could be wrong, or if it is something I can fix by editing the box myself. Any ideas? It seems to be fine here, although it is left-aligned rather than right-aligned, as I would have expected. —— Lisasmall 19:54, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Bhairav. About the sloka, a discussion is started by me on WP:HINDU, please present your views there.--Redtigerxyz 06:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
This line moved from socking section immediately above: I wanted to put that in a gray box instead of the cquote template; can you teach me how? Lisasmall 16:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
You can put things in a gray box by using the ((Quotation)) template. MastCell Talk 16:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I was experimenting with just using leading spaces, which sort of works too, with a different border. However, it seems to let things run off the right-hand side of the page unless you manually break each line and enter the leading spaces manually again. The Quotation template you recommended is better, and I've put it in place above to quote WP:SOCK. I went here - Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#No_or_limited_formatting.E2.80.94showing_exactly_what_is_being_typed and here - Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Character_formatting but the <PRE> and <CODE> tags recommended there didn't work worth a darn for me in this situation. Guess they are just good for short clips of actual computer code or similar items, not the text quoting effect I wanted to do.

Dear Lisa, thank you so much for your kind words about my userpage design - frankly, I'm blushing, so why could I possibly refuse your gracious request? :) Seriously, you're more than welcome to use it, and if you encounter any problems when adapting it for yourself, well... you know just where to find me, right? ;) Lots of love, Phaedriel - 01:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
As the discussions are stale and having them in one place would be useful, I created Archive 2 accessible from the archive box at the top of my user talk page today. Any new comments about Herbert W.

Thanks for the great userbox! What a great idea..! I'm happy to have you as a twin...I couldn't have asked for anyone nicer.... I hope all is well. Feel free to drop me an email anytime! Dreadstar † 06:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Would you please clean up this article too as you did with Bhairav. If you have any more suggestions about the article, please put them on the talk page of the article. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz 06:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Lisa,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 55 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. No matter if you !voted support, oppose, neutral, I thank you for taking the time to vote in my nomination. I'm a new admin, so if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know. I would like to give a special shout out to Fang Aili, Phaedriel, and Anonymous Dissident, for their co-nominations. Thank you all!
This RFA thanks was inspired by The Random Editor's modification of Phaedriel's RFA thanks.
Thanks for your support! I took the easy way out of thanking everyone by stealing borrowing someone else's design...but know that I sincerely appreciate your support and confidence in me! I was so thrilled to see my twin's vote..! Thank you so much..! Dreadstar † 07:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Lisa, I was very excited to find your comment on mug shots and copyrights from earlier today. I have been frustrated for some time by the fact (sic?) that so many Oregon government-produced materials are copyrighted, and unavailable for use on Wikipedia. I got people interested in this issue some time ago, and drafted a letter to try to get our legislature to do something about it; but haven't done much for a while, mostly because I wanted to have a better understanding of the legal framework before taking any bold steps. (As and example, the Oregon Secretary of State produces a book every year called the Oregon Blue Book, which has all kinds of charts and photos; but at the bottom of the web page, it clearly states "Copyright Oregon Secretary of State." I've talked to a former SoS and a current candidate for that office, and both think it would be great to open this stuff up, but thought it would be a complex legislative project.
Anyway, if you have a moment to look over what we've written thus far, and offer any feedback, I/we would very much appreciate it! I'm sure if we can establish the right framework for Oregon, it will be very helpful to much of the rest of Wikipedia. (I know your background is not in Oregon, but it sounds like you were speaking mainly from a knowledge of federal law; so hopefully it applies universally.)
Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on the situation! -Pete (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC) (and the various gnomes of Wikiproject Oregon)
Only marginally related: I'd like to thank you for weighing in on the topic on the mug shots template talk page. It's refreshing to see someone with an actual legal background commenting on a legal topic. --AdamRoach (talk) 21:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lisa, thanks for your message, and thanks for asking about adoption.
Just to point out those examples you highlighted... User:Spelunkster/Scammer is not an article, rather it is a personal Sandbox, a "testing-ground" in the namespace of the user who wrote it, where you can have a go at formatting and writing articles without damaging the original. For example, I have User:Marbles/sandbox; however as you correctly pointed out, you should remove category tags in these tests as so not to interfere with Wikipedia main namespace.
Adoption can offer a whole host of benefits to an adoptee, including personal hints, advice, progress checks and much more.
For your information, I live in the United Kingdom, and therefore my timezone is UTC or BST. I am available on Wikipedia most days, and can offer advice on a range of topics including copyrighting images, policies, edit disputes, basic formatting, NPOV and referencing, alongside other ideas. To contact me, you can leave a message on my talk page or e-mail me.
If you wish to finalise an adoption status, please add ((adoptee|Marbles)) on your user page. If you already have the userbox ((adoptme)) on your page, please replace that with the one above. I can then add you to my list of adoptees. Please don't hesitate to contact me. Many thanks, /Marbles (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
You point out that mugshot are obviously public domain, and that is how they are treated by the press. Why are they all tagged as copyrighted images on wikipedia? If I upload mugshots will they get deleted? Lobojo (talk) 14:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
There is a discussion going on about whether or not to merge WikiProject Dogs and WikiProject Dog breeds together. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Coaster1983 (talk) 18:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Inline Templates lists the template you're referring to. I deleted it after another user tagged it as no longer needed. However, if it is needed, let me know and I'll be happy to restore it. In general, having an in-line template like that for such a limited purpose seems a bit silly, but that's just my opinion. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that at this point, it would not be a violation of WP:CANVASS to point out Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SarekOfVulcan. :-)--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 05:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for !voting on my RfA. If you supported, I'll make sure your confidence is not misplaced; if you opposed, I'll take your criticism into account and try to adjust my behavior accordingly.
See you around the wiki!--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on this article, and your efforts at sourcing. May I suggest WP:CITE for uniformity among citations? Also, I would suggest not using NNDB, and replacing it with some other cite to a source that better satisfies WP:RS/WP:V - NNDB is not widely used on Wikipedia and would be something that could get dinged at a future article-quality review (WP:GA, WP:FA, etc.) Cirt (talk) 01:59, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
You might consider joining WikiProject Friesland for we allways need more participants. We can always use someone to help us to cope with vandalism on our articles or to create templates, upload images. No real knowledge is required. Just more members is what we need and a more international participant list would be great. -The Bold Guy- (talk) 18:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I think that the current deadlock on Joe the plumber is due to unclear BLP policy on limited public figures. I've made a proposal to clarify the policy here.

Hello Lisa. Please do not rename section headings on talk pages. While your new title about political speculation maybe more accurate, it makes finding threads extremely difficult which is why I didn't change it back (don't wanna confuse anyone who posted under the new section heading). I had thought it was archived... couldn't find it and had to do some history detective work to find out where the thread went... Thanks Garycompugeek (talk) 22:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've nominated Abbott Hall Brisbane, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. Paxse (talk) 08:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC) Hope you don't mind me nominating it for you. I think it's a great article Lisa, well done!
Dear Lisa, I'm sorry for my late response. I understand your concern, I know it is confusing. As you said: at the time, some catholics preferred to call their language "Flemish", to distinguish it from "Hollands" (= Dutch from the Northern Netherlands) which was considered a calvinist "Trojan horse". Yet, this distinction is political (or religious); linguists, even when writing in a historical context, refer to both as "Dutch". So the language is "Dutch". Maybe we could add a little footnote to mention he himself preferred to call it "Flemish". But we should not write on wikipedia that he spoke "Flemish" and French, because Flemish actually does not exist. It has no written standard of its own, so you can't really "teach" it, and the 4 main Dutch dialects that are spoken in Belgium have continua in the Netherlands rather than within Flanders. That is why distinguishing "Flemish" from "Dutch" - as if the former were not part of the latter - does not make much sense. So for that matter there is no need to worry. I hope this explains my edit. Kind regards, --Hooiwind (talk) 06:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
I apologize for deleting the text, "His full name, almost never referenced in any materials about his life or religious career, was John Andrew James Oliver Benedict Rottheir Van de Velde." I assumed incorrectly that this was in error after doing a search of the book The Church in Chicago… I later discovered that find does not show text in footnotes on Google Books. Top notch article. We have images of Bishop Van de Velde, I will be happy to post one. Again my apology. Thanks, --Stmaryarchives (talk) 22:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Per your request, I modified my Userbox so that you can pick the year. I hadn't intended to change it or update it until 2012 (the next time this office comes up for election in the district in which I live). I've not done much with user boxes before (other than shamelessly stealing this one from someone else and changing the text inside) and it turns out this change was rather trivial. Notice the pipe symbol | at the end with the year desired after the pipe.
This user stood for public election in 1066. |
Absurd year chosen for emphasis. Tangurena (talk) 23:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Lisasmall, There another debate about free vs. non-free here [1]. As a much more expert person in these matters, would you mind weighing in? I for one could also use some help on understanding the nuances of fair-use for copyrighted material on Wikipedia and it could apply to this particular discussion. Mattnad (talk) 15:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Lisasmall,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
What you can do now:

Hi, Lisa; just wanted to draw your attention to MoSDab which requires that targets of a Dab entry provide info on the topic in question (not just be a related topic), which is not the case for Capital punishment w/r to Ronald J. Tabak. I am linking the entry for now to William Henry Hance (altho the ref to him there is at risk in light of the need to remove the copyvio) that follows his name; you may want to consult COI and decide whether you can paraphrase him).
--Jerzy•t 05:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
This is a very uncomfortable thot, i think bcz i am unsure just what AGF requires of me. Perhaps it will be a more comfortable thot for you if i go so far as to say that i've read your user page and skimmed about a thousand lines of your edit history (noticing titles), and i expect you and i would have a lot more congruencies than conflicts in our political and social attitudes.
And my hope is that my having said that will convince you that i'm (to the extent i can introspect it!) sincerely trying both to respect the sophistication of your profession ethics and to trust your judgment better than my own, and that i fear you haven't already made any mention of this bcz it's too clear to you that it should be left alone. My thot is that your editing interests and professional activities offer so many COI opportunities that i am more comfortable knowing that the matter has explicitly come to the surface in your mind at least bcz one arrogant laymen was rude enuf to say
There, it's said; my work here is done, and thanks. Hmm, i'll just mention a long-standing WP-cultural meme that you'll understand even if you haven't run across our discussion, and whose existence as a formal term of art here may reassure you that we're a little more sophisticated than i've just made us sound: WFTE.

Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you.

I really appreciated it. We have both moved on since then but if their is anything I can do, do not hesitate to ask. TRA!--Buster Seven Talk 15:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.
