Two problems with your latest edit. First of all, that material is copyrighted, and illegal to post here; see Wikipedia:Copyrights for more info. Second, the material is not neutral; we try to follow a neutral point of view policy. Please don't add in material like this in the future. Of course, if you'd like to add to the Blagojevich article with your own writing, that would be fine. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 00:24, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
You must stop adding these copyright violations. Please stop immediately. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 00:33, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Your contribution at New Jersey State Capitol is also copyrighted.
Welcome to Wikipedia, and we hope you will continue to contribute. All sorts of input are welcome. However we have to say very clearly that submitting copyright work is illegal!. If we do not stop it, Wikipedia may be shut down, and potentially anyone submitting such material may be sued.
In case you are not familiar with the rules, here is a brief summary. All text and pictures are potentially copyright - that means books, newspapers and stuff on the web. It also means images. Everything is copyrighted unless the author explicitly says it is not. Unless a web page says it is public domain, (or explicitly licensed for use under the GNU Free Documentation License or something very similar) we cannot use it. Note that 'free for non-commerical use is not good enough - Wikipedia might be used commercially.
Because of the potentially serious consequences of copyright violation we will have to stop you if you continute to add illegal articles. If you don't understand please ask someone at Wikipedia:Help desk.
Thanks. DJ Clayworth 15:03, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Patrick - please don't blank articles that have been listed for copyright violation. We need to give people a chance to object, and then the entire history will be deleted. In the meantime people who find a blank article will not know that it is scheduled for deletion, and will add text to it. They will then be upset when it is deleted.
If you wish to agree that they should be deleted, say so on the talk page. DJ Clayworth 21:53, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
If you blank articles that are not copyright violations, that is considered vandalism. Please stop. DJ Clayworth 21:55, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Patrick:
Hi again, and welcome to Wikipedia. We don't get many second graders here - how old are you? (You can add things yourself to this page)
I'm glad to see you've stopped copying articles from other parts of the web - we are really looking for people to write new things. You may want to look at this link here [1] - this is another encyclopedia just like Wikipedia, but written in simple language for people learning English. It really needs people to write new articles.
If you keep contributing here, I suggest you ask questions here Wikipedia:Help desk before anything you don't understand. When you ask say you are in second grade - you'll get better help. Have fun DJ Clayworth 13:39, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi Patrick,
I'm the guy who emailed you before. I'd just like give you a few tips. When you create a list, you should use bullets. Right now, your lists look like this:
User:Chrisn4255 User:Patricknoddy User talk:Chrisn4255
Lists that have bullets look like this:
To make a list with bullets, type them this way:
*[[User:Chrisn4255]]
*[[User:Patricknoddy]]
*[[User talk:Chrisn4255]]
My other tip is about short articles. When you write a short article (like one or two sentences), go to the bottom, and type:
((stub))
At the bottom of the article people will see:
This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
This will tell them to write more about the article (if they know anything more about it).
I hope this helps.
Like DJ Clayworth said: you might want to go to http://simple.wikipedia.orgbecause it's a lot like Wikipedia, but it's written with small words, and it really needs people to write new articles. If you stay with us here, then ask questions at Wikipedia:Help desk before doing anything you don't know about. When you ask, say you are in second grade - you'll get better help.
Feel free to ask me hereif you have a question, or if you want me look at an article (I like politics and history, too!). Chris N. 01:39, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Why were you making a list of companies on wikipedia:Article of the week? That is not what that page is there for. I have reverted your changes. Thue | talk 16:45, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I've moved your page to a more grammatically correct title. Mike H 02:25, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think anyone has really explained what the problem with your airport articles was - or why I've just had to delete them.
Nearly everything on the internet belongs to someone - if a company puts information on their web site they own that information. This means that we cannot use their writing on wikipedia - it is what's described as under copyright. Generally Wikipedia can only accept writing that is done for Wikipedia - there are a few exceptions (ask me if you are interested). Taking writing from other websites isn't allowed. Please don't be put off - you are very welcome here - and I personally am very happy that a second grader is helping to make this encyclopedia. If you have any questions please leave me a message and I will do my best to help. Yours Secretlondon 01:48, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Good job on catching that vandalism in the article 1908. Nobody caught that for 11 months! Chris N. 00:47, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi Patrick, I've taken the liberty of removing the links on I and V to the pages I (disambiguation) and V (disambiguation), respectively, for now. The main reason is that for the entire alphabet, the meanings of the letter are included on the main page, since the articles are short enough. Maybe in the future if more is written, it might change, but for now it should be left as it is. (Although feel free to add to the articles if there is anything missing). Happy wiki-ing —siroχo 04:31, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
Hi - we don't normally have pages for specific days in history; rather, important events would be on a page like March 4 instead of March 4, 1797. Evercat 20:54, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi Patrick. My name is Danny and I have been on Wikipedia for three years. I am very happy that you are helping us make an encyclopedia. The articles you add are very good starts. I hope you continue to help us. If you have any questions, please ask me here (Danny. I will be happy to answer if I can. Danny 01:11, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hey! I noticed your entries and I've thought they are really good! You seem to know a lot about the state of Delaware. How would you like to write an article for the Simple English Wikipedia on Delaware? Simple English Wikipedia is for people from other countries who are learning English, and many of them might want to know about that state. [2] Click on the number there, and you'll be able to start writing about Delaware for them. If you're interested about writing about West Virginia (I see you're from there; you must know a whole lot about it!), you can click on this number here [3] and start writing on West Virginia there. When you're done writing, tell me on my talk page here and let me know so I can read what you wrote! :-)
If you need to know anything about how Wikipedia works, either here or at the Simple English, find me on my talk page (the link is in the paragraph before this one) and write me a note. Mike H 01:28, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)
Some really good edits today. Thanks! Danny 00:18, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Patrick. I just put a speedy delete on your recent Bank Holiday Watch article, since the Belgium holiday was already mentioned (with more detail) in July 21. Next time you want to add a holiday, add it to a date article (and try to put in something more encyclopedic than "Belgium, today is your national day!") --Ardonik 20:21, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)
Hey! I saw your contributions and I like the links you've added. However, I would like to say that it isn't proper English to start a sentence with "and". See how I worded your sentence in Key West, Florida and try to model your other sentences after that. :-) Mike H 21:21, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)
Hi Patrick, it would be a good idea if you put an article after the redirects you are making, so that people know that we dont have an article about that topic yet. THanks. Danny 15:38, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Please do not put current events on selected anniversaries templates. --mav 04:00, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Again, leave current events off the Selected anniversaries pages. An event is not an anniversary until at least one year has gone by since it happened. --mav
Also, please remove those FUTURE events from Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries. Anniversaries are about things happened in the past only. Thanks, Patrick. -- PFHLai 20:24, 2004 Jul 31 (UTC)
That's a great tip, thanks so much for telling me about it. I'm new around here. Koyaanis Qatsi 17:17, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You shouldn't create a disambiguation page if there's only one definition of the article. Make it into a redirect instead. For example:
#REDIRECT [[Rhodesville, Alabama]]
Rhodesville is the name of a town in the United States:

Why did you just post a large number of links about Alaska to my talk page? DJ Clayworth 21:10, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hi Patricknoddy, I noticed you added "Pickles" as a nickname that George W. Bush uses for his wife. We need to add a reference for this entry, since there are many satyrical articles about Bush nicknames.
Many of the nicknames on this page have been found to be fictional, or nicknames created by people other than the president. This particular nickname has been removed from the list before.
I was unable to find a reference for this nickname that was not satire. Can you please remove this entery (if someone else doesn't first) or add a reference? Thank You, Pud 22:14, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
What is "Vincity"? Do you mean vicinity? How can the airport not be in the Huntsville vicinity? Don't forget Normal, Alabama, Meridianville, Alabama, Madison, Alabama, and Decatur, Alabama. -- ke4roh 02:24, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Patrick! I noticed that you have a peculiar way of signing your posts, namely with a series of links to your user and talk pages and multiple timestamps (e.g., Talk:Home Depot, Talk:Lowe's). I find this quite confusing. Was this intentional? --Diberri | Talk 21:13, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
Hmmm. If anyone can figure out where the coding is that put this page on category:disambiguation can they take it off? I've searched through the page and can't figure out where the category coding is! --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 23:00, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
OK Patrick... I think your heart is in the right place but it's really time you slowed down a little and thought through your actions a bit more. Please read carefully all the comments made above and make sure you understand them.
Please also note that users (ie me and you) should not be added to categories. I'm guessing you've added yourself to the category relating to your home town. That's understandable. However, categories are for grouping article pages together, not us folk, the users. So, I'm about to remove the categories from your user page and from this talk page too.
Please have a look at Help:Contents and let that guide you. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 22:53, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
Hi there, I just listed Category:Washington DC for deletion—there is already a well-established Category:Washington, DC (and the comma must be included).
I also removed the categories from the television station templates you had created. It is a bad idea to categorize templates, because those automatically slap categories on whatever article the template text is included in, such as your user page. Though it may take a little work, it avoids more problems to manually include the category tags within the articles themselves. I was also wondering what you were hoping to accomplish with these templates—currently, they all appear to only have off-site links in them, which wouldn't be an appropriate usage. I think categories would be better for this kind of grouping anyway; there is already a Category:Television stations in Washington, DC, and there should be similar categories formed eventually in the PA and DE categories too.

Can you please rephrase what you said? Maybe it's because my head hurts today, but I couldn't understand your sentence structure. [[User:Mike Storm|Mike∞Storm]] 20:45, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Patrick, I removed your nomination from Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. It looked to me, and several other people, like you meant it as a joke. However, some people thought you might be serious and it was causing a lot of confusion. If you really are interested in becoming an administrator, please follow the guidelines on that page carefully. Personally, I think it might be best if you wait a little while. In the meantime, it's great to have someone like you contributing to Wikipedia! --Michael Snow 20:39, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Patrick, don't add Wikiquote links unless we actually have quotes from those people in Wikiquote, all right? If you're going to add quotes, great, but do that first. Everyking 00:21, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please think twice before making edits. You added Fidel Castro to the list of people, who came to power in a coup d'etat. That is wrong. I do not have time to correct edits by ignorant users. Andries 21:55, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi, it seems you and I were maintaining similar lists. You had a list at "List of U.S. Indian Tribes", but it was actually based on just a list of U.S. Indian Tribal Government Web sites which is maintained by firstgov.gov. I have been maintaining a copy of the BIA's full list of recognized Native American tribal entities at List of Native American Tribal Entities, so I took the liberty of moving your article to List of U.S. Indian Tribal Government Web sites, and adding a link on the big list to yours (as the list of Web sites is a valuable thing on its own).
I hope you won't have any problem with this, as in the end, this is all about the information for me. If you do, let's discuss it here or on any of the relevant talk pages (I'm watching them all).
Thanks! -Harmil 14:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

In one placement on my talk page you said you noticed that I put "Pickles" on the List of nicknames used by George W. Bush, I didn't do that so you're confusing me with somebody else I have never been on that article before. Patricknoddy 6:59 AM October 30, 2005 EDT

Welcome to the dog breeds project. And I responded to your question on Talk:Africanis. Elf | Talk 21:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Patrick - I note you've recently created a couple of new stub categories. Did you realise that stub categories should normally be cleared by Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting before creation? That way they can be vetted to check that there are a viable number of stubs (a minimum of 50-60 stubs) that the category does not cross the existing stub hierarchy before the stub is created, and that the templates and categories follow the naming guidelines for stub types.
In the case of two of the templates you made, they clearly cut through the hierarchy, and have been nominated for deletion at WP:SFD. In both cases, the stub types would be of little use to editors, and would be contrary to the standard way of splitting current categories. With seaport-stub, geographical items are always split by location, since editors are more likely to search for a geographical area they know than for a specific feature. A seaport stub would go against this scheme by drawing articles from all parts of the world. Similarly, government agencies are best split by country first - as it is this particular category had five articles all of which should have been in different categories. Stub categories are designed to help editors find groups of articles that they may be able to edit in one particular place (that's how they differ from standard categories, which are for primary use by readers looking for information). But it is unlikely any particular editor will know about both Korean police forces and local authorities in Tacoma, for example. Grutness...wha? 07:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Patricknoddy! I've noticed that you've been placing succession boxes on a few universities, using the U.S. News and World Reports ranking as your guide. However, succession boxes are usually used for people and/or organizations changing over time; i.e. terms of office, or the changing #1 rank. They're usually not used for moving up and down a list. As such, I've gone ahead and commented out your additions. Thank you for your understanding, and don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thanks a lot! Flcelloguy (A note?) 14:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

This article that you started has been nominated for speedy deletion as a short article lacking context. You will need to provide more information shortly or it will be deleted. I have added a hangon stating that I have left a message on your talk page. Capitalistroadster 03:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, it's really great that you're categorizing articles, but could you please stop adding every single category that they could fit under to them? As one example, School Districts which can be filed under "School Districts in Alabama" don't need to be under "School Districts in the US." This way the main categories will stay clear and people can go directly to the state to find what they're looking for. Thanks! Aelfthrytha 12:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I have added a "((prod))" template to the article User:Patricknoddy/The Ultimate Encyclopedia/Fox's Pizza, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at [[Talk:User:Patricknoddy/The Ultimate Encyclopedia/Fox's Pizza|its talk page]]. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. 172.165.137.31 00:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I've removed Image:The Suite Life Cover.png from your userbox, User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/User_Suite_Life_of_Zack_and_Cody, as fair use images should not be used outside of article space. See WP:FUC for the specific criteria. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 22:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry... it just occurred to me that not only are you wrong about England not being a country, but you were a bit presumptuous in telling me that it wasn't since I never identify it anywhere as being a country (even though it is). Thanks again. HokieRNB 03:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, Patrick! Nice job on the Rails Across America article! I noticed that you started "The Ultimate Encyclopedia" within your user page. I'm personally concerned that this may be seen as using Wikipedia to host a personal website, which isn't allowed. The good news is that you can still run it outside of Wikipedia on a website such as http://editthis.info or http://www.wikia.com which look and feel like Wikipedia. Feel free to sign up for a wiki on one of those websites and then I'll help you move the pages. How about it? ★MESSEDROCKER★ 20:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

There's an interesting experience going on over at WikiProject California, and WikiProject Southern California.
Some time ago, WikiProject California members had placed their project tags on all articles about California cities. Those tags have been in place for some time. Recently certain members of WikiProject Southern California, after discussion on that project's talk page (only), decided to remove the WikiProject California tags for (almost all) Southern California cities, and replace the tags with WikiProject Southern California tags - only.
That is, the WikiProject Southern California members didn't simply add the WikiProject Southern California tag to Southern California cities, the WikiProject California tags were completely removed. This was done apparently without consultation with the WikiProject California members.
It would seem at first glance that all the cities in Southern California could appropriately remain as part of both WikiProject California and WikiProject Southern California - it is after all one state! There are many articles across Wikipedia which have multiple WikiProject tags.
We are gathering responses to the following questions on those projects' talk pages:

Thanks. It's been astonishing to me to discover all the "moving parts" and information pages that exist in Wikipedia, with relatively little overlap/duplication, which are potentially useful to editors.
At some point when the index is closer to finished, I'll look at making it a bit more official (in terms of its location), but I certainly find it very useful now, and welcome others to use it. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Is there a place where you can propose new barnstars?
howdy, you marked this article as not citing its references or sources, at the bottom of the page I linked to the original document at wikisource - with that in mind can I take down the tag marking it as unreferenced? - Schrandit 21:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

your page is pretty confused so i don't know where to put this but... my "what are you an admin or something" page was a mistake. Chill.
that afghan wildlife page has potential so I'll remove the rubbish and try to create a decent categroized stub ok ? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 23:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Really these pages on wildlife should exist if flora and fauna don;t have articles and they are easier for younger searchers to find. I have added a bit to Wildlife of Afghanistan but if rather than delete those other pathetic pages could you tag them as expand -tomorrow when I have time I'll add a bit of info to them cheers.

The article Brothers Villagepedia has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Longhair\talk 10:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I did not create that article I only added WPAM tag and changed the name from Gevorg sargsyan to Gevorg Sargsyan before, the last name was lower case. In that process when I changed the name the information in the article that was there before was deleted I don't know why. So I went back and added the deleted information that was there before back to the article. ROOB323 21:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Brianna Glenn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because you seem to not understand that the article meets the WP:BIO guideline for sportspeople as an athlete "who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming". The World Athletics Final being the competition of equivalent standing in this case.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Punkmorten 21:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, was this speedy delete nomination a joke or error? Sorry, but I cannot think somehow that you seriously doubt the article's notability. Do you know, that a High Sheriff in England is not the same like in the USA? Greetings and thanks for the notice. ~~ Phoe talk 21:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
Hi there; There ave now been,I think, three occasions tonight where I have added a delete tag to an article, gone to the user page to notify the user, and hit an edit conflict with your good self. I would be most grateful if you would take on board the fact that if I add a ((speedy)) tag, then I will notify the editor, and you need not do so. This will save us both time. Happy wikying. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anthony.bradbury (talk • contribs) 21:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 19:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Docly.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --- RockMFR 21:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I regret to say that I have closed your RfA early as per WP:SNOW. I have included a summary of the opinions cast in my reason for doing so, which was essentially 'get some more experience before trying again'. You have been very brave in putting yourself in the spotlight here after so short a time of editing WP. Most people wait between six-to-twelve months before trying for an RfA and they are not alway successful either. Strategies for improving your profile for another RfA include:

Patrick, best of luck next time. I agree that it probably isn't the right time for you to become an admin though I do disagree with pretty much everything that was written above. It's not about the amount of time, number of edits, or quantity of projects that you've signed up to. Just being active in making contributions on wikipedia will help in terms of getting used to the way people here do business and taking time to see how others work on projects for instance is more valuable than learning how to set one up yourself as you did with the Afghanistan one. The key to wikipedia in my view is that it is about consensus, things happen because people agree that they should so actions should be taken based on talking to others and getting to understand what the wikipedia community wants or doesn't want. This is more important than getting to understand the technical details or just racking up edits in the areas that the above editor outlined. Don't be disheartened by it though, I think it's good that you're enthusiastic and want to keep contributing at all levels here. MLA 23:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Just letting you know that I'm contesting both of their speeding deletions. :) I make a lot of figure skating articles, so I'm curious as to what criterea your bot uses to detect spam and useless articles. Both Paetsch & Nuss have six seperate aricles linking to them, and they're both competiting at the highest level for figure skaters of their level. Junior level is one below Olympic level, and the International Skating Union treats them and Olympic level skaters both as elite level skaters skating at the highest level of amatuer sport. (I've gone through so many speedy deletion arguements that sometimes I think I should stick that in my user profile!) Please let me know your arguments for deletion. :) Awartha 22:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thanks for your patrolling but when i release new pages I then edit them rather than doing it all first. Its funny you happened to tag Tito Lusiardo who happens to be one of the biggest actors in the Cinema of Argentina of all time -he is like the Argentine equivalent of Marlon Brando or something!! If you are fmailiar with my work you'll know I will do a good job soon enough but please remember me from now on Cheers! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Commonist) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 14:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Patrick, thank you for your time creating images. You definately put in a lot of work into some of them. Here are some things to keep in mind when creating images:
1) Do not link them to talk pages just to keep them from getting orphaned. 2) Make sure the images you create actually have encyclopedic merit. You may create images at your leisure on your own sites, but please only upload images to wikipedia that have a reason to be here. 3) Make sure when you do upload them, they are of particularly high quality.
I've nominated several of your files for deletion. Please do not take this personally. Should you have any questions, please ask. CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 14:44, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Patrick, I know you probably thought you were helping, but please do not link Chelan Logo.gif anywhere. The correct file was uploaded later and is in use in the Chelan County Public Utility District Article. The orphaned .gif version cannot be used elsewhere because it is a logo for the PUD. CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 16:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
In regards to your message regarding talk messages being removed: 1) I did not remove your talk message. 2) Linking images not intended for use in an article to a talk page is not allowed. The image you had posted, Arizona shaded blue, was removed by another editor. Please be advised my response to your posting on Talk:Arizona had also been removed.

A tag has been placed on 21st Century Holding Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add ((hangon))
on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

Should I? All I'm doing is linking to a worthy project to encourage more free-content audio on Wikipedia that needs more exposure. Didn't think that was against the rules, and I'm fairly sure it isn't. The other thing is I don't really want people coming straight to my talk page for the first time without having read at least some of my userpage first, to avoid misunderstandings.

I moved it to Ramana (film) (better name for article) just when you were requesting speedy deletion for it. I'm really sorry about that, didn't mean to step on anybody's toes -- deletion is probably better for the page, unless it's expanded, which might be unlikely.

I presume your tagging of Otho Prior-Palmer for speedy deletion must be a mistake, as he was a distinguished British Army officer decorated for his conduct in the field, and served as a Member of Parliament for 19 years, all facts attested to in the article with a forest of unimpeachable sources.

I'm sorry you got blocked for your editing tonight because I always regard blocks as marking a failure of discussion. However I understand you can still contribute to your user talk page. I still would like to know why you tagged Otho Prior-Palmer, a 19-year veteran of the House of Commons as "not asserting notability" when members of national legislatures are all considered notable. I would never tag your Representative, Sanford Bishop, as a plainly non-notable person. If someone wrote an article on his predecessor who served in Congress from 1925 to 1953, Edward E.

Hello, Patricknoddy. Due to the high number of inactive users at WP:USRD, we are asking that you verify that you are still an active contributor of the project. To do so, please add an asterisk (*) after your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Newsletter/List. Users without one by the next issue in 2 weeks will be removed off the list and off the respective road projects as well. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks.

<<unblock|I shouldn't be blocked just for using User:Martinp23/NPWatcher.>>
Your name is still listed at Requests for an admin coach. If you are no longer looking for a coach, or you currently have one, please remove yourself from that list.
The instructions for getting or receiving a coach have changed. It's now a self-help process: just look for a coach from the list of coaches, and contact one. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 02:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Patrick, I believe for the most part your age is a non-issue here, except in cases where people are trying to understand why you do certain things. I commended to the other user in an attempt to make sure that they knew you were a youth editor, so they would have insight into whom they are dealing with. While I will agree to keep your exact age hidden, if you don't mind I will continue to advise those who seek to understand you that you are a "Youth Editor".
And if I might make a suggestion, you may want to /archive your talk page, to make it easier to read! CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 18:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

You used the wrong reason for speedy deletion. It is not vandalism. However, since Jakerl failed to credit you, it is a copyright violation because the GFDL requires credit to the five principal authors (Or less, if there are fewer than 5 authors) for the content to be copied without violation. Jesse Viviano 21:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi PatrickNoddy,
As per the discussions on Wikipedia talk:Wikipediholism test#More fake scores, we have recently changed the "cyborg" question, and lower the score down to 50, and therefore, your score will also be adjusted according, or even removed. As per the discussion, your score is to be lowered 50 million, since the cyborg question's score value lowered. Your new score is 1003797.685457796, and you are currently standing at 2nd place, after ST47. If you want to continue the discussion, please do so on my talk page or on Wikipedia talk:Wikipediholism test#More fake scores. Thank you! - Smcafirst | Chit-Chat | SIGN posted at 20:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Can you personalize the links at the upper right hand corner to your userpage, user talk, preferences, etc.?
Hi. This user is on an extended Wikibreak. If you like his smilies, I'm certain he wouldn't mind if you copied some/all of the display. --Dweller 12:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi - can I suggest that you remove that threat on your user page to those who copy content from your user page? This is a Wiki, and by contributing you are licensing your contributions under the GFDL, which means that anyone can copy them with attribution, hence the threat you make is baseless. Thanks, Martinp23 20:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

How do you use Unicode in Wikipedia?
Is there some sort of code?
Is there a code for Unicode?
Is there some sort of wiki formatting for Unicode, to like insert Unicode into Wikipedia?
I mean to like make a special character, such as the symbol of Jupiter, to put into Wikipedia?
No, I mean like a special wiki formatting, to insert Unicode into.

Hi. Smilies are emoticons. They are used in the body of messages to express emotion or add emotional impact. They can be very useful, such as for ensuring that the person to which you are communicating knows when you are joking or not. The Transhumanist 03:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Patrick. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Please note that red-linked user categories should be removed from user pages (with their permission, preferably), not created and then nominated for deletion. When you do the latter, the red-links will remain after deletion, because red links on Wikipedia show that the target does not exist. Xiner (talk, email) 20:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I revised (a bit radically) the navigation system of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Central Asia. The old page was a mess. You are a member of the project, I would appreciate if you would compare with the old page and give a feedback on the talk page. Thanks. cs 22:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have had the idea of expanding and renaming WikiProject Brighton to become WikiProject Sussex - this would not exclude people with a particular interest in, say, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Midhurst, Pulborough, Billingshurst, Horsham, Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea, etc. - all places worthy of a WikiProject - and I'm not sure that having WP:BAH as a sub-project of WP:Sussex would work. I feel that we are being too exclusive - we could attract new members this way. What do you think? - Vox Humana 8' 17:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious why you suggested a biographical question about a "French writer and diplomat," posted to the Humanities Reference Desk#April 3, would be better posted on the Miscellaneous RD.

Overarchiver may have been wrong to archive your talk unasked, but the page is getting awfully long and hard to load. You should consider doing it yourself. I archive discussions by month, but you can do whatever you like best. - Mgm|(talk) 12:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Patrick, I have no clue who Overarchiver is... and he was wrong to just go and do your archiving, but in the sake of all that is good on this earth PLEASE archive this thing yourself! My Corporate connection at work damn near peaks trying to load this (and that is one of the fastest internet connections you can have), at home, my Cable Service chokes when trying to load your page. Your reasons for not archiving (It taking too long and wanting everything on the same page, too difficult to click around, etc.) are really exaggerations and hurting everyone else in Wikipedia that tries to contact you. It takes 4 minutes to manually archive, or 1 minute to add Werdnabot support, if you need to find anything, it will be in the archive index (if you do werdnabot) which is 1 or 2 clicks away. Think about how often you really go through and read or do anything with previous posts. Also think about this: if editors on high speed cable and corporate internet connections are having a hell of a time loading your page, then what about those users on slow DSL or *gulp* Dialup connections! Your page will never load, and they won't be able to contact you. I'm not going to rush out and do what Overarchiver did, but please, do it yourself! Cascadia TALK| HISTORY 18:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Remember, you've got to take personal opinions (like mine or Quiddity's) with a grain of salt. Quiddity tends towards seriousness, while I'm a bit more fancy free. If you want to express yourself with emoticons, there is nothing in Wikipedia policy that impedes you from doing so. Each emoticon I've been using is a bonifide legal image on Wikipedia. For your convenience, I've copied the image wikicode, including the appropriate sizes, as a comment to the top of your talk page, for easy copying and pasting in edit mode. Enjoy.

Thank you so much for wanting to join the project. We really want you to join us! Partly because we are in need of participants, and partly because ... well, we want to welcome you to join..., as simple as that! Please sign up on our Paricipant List (Click on this link) under the subtitle of Participants, and please remember to add a template to your user page, so every Wikipedian would know you are part of this project. We will be expanding our projects, not just road included, but everything in the Golden Horseshoe.
Please enter this to your user page in order to create this template:
((Golden Horseshoe Roads))
And it would show up like this:

And if you don't mind, I can do things listed above for you.
