I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 03:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Orobas.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Hello. I have been working on the Opera Project, which includes The opera corpus, a list of important opera composers and their major works. Discovering that all Wikipedia references to Nyman's "Man Who..." opera pointed to the page for Sachs's book, where the opera is mentioned briefly but not described in any way, I decided that the opera deserves a page of its own, as do all the operas in the Corpus, and as has been done for lots of operas based on books, plays, poems, etc. You will see that there are currently a lot of red-linked operas in the Corpus. Some of us are working our way through these, creating stubs and/or articles. In preparation for a "Man Who... (opera)" article, I have relinked all WP links to the book that ought to have been linked to the opera, and made other concomitant changes. I hope this explanation will help you to see why I am not very happy with your reversion of my amendment to the Nyman article. --GuillaumeTell 16:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Nice to see your edits on Timon of Athens. However, I hope you will consider leaving in the phrase about Alciabiades' reconciliation with Athens. It explains what the bit about the glove is about; otherwise the article is just cryptic. Also, the contrast between Alcibiades' reconciliation, when he was far more wronged than Timon ever was, and Timon's rather nutty bitterness, is instructive ... and perhaps the point of this rather odd play. rewinn 04:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Hiya! The box labels are the easy part. In my user page (or that of anyone you want to copy from) just edit the page, then copy the stuff between ((Boxboxtop|Info)) and ((Boxboxbottom)) and delete the stuff you don't want. Then add to your collection any individual boxes you like; they're normally something like {User Kleptobox)) . There's an official way to make more ub's but you can create your own on the fly with this formula: ((userbox|#AABBAA|#DDEEDD|[[Image:MagrittePipe.jpg|42px]]|Ceci n'est pas une [[WP:UBX | User Box]].)) It's good silly fun! Some user boxes of the official sort will add stuff to your watchlist. Enjoy! rewinn 04:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
About the glove and reconciliation: when the Senators fail to get Timon to come back to Athens to help deal with Alciabiades (he offers them his last tree with which to hang themselves) they are reduced to haggling with A:
" All have not offended: For those that were, it is not square to take On those that are, Revenge ... With those that haue offended, like a Shepheard, Approach the Fold, and cull th' infected forth, But kill not altogether"
With these words, they are asking him for a sign that he will wreak revenge only on those who did him wrong -- suggesting his glove as a sign (I don't know why).
Alcibiades does offer his glove as a sign of (relative) peace; his revenge is not on Athens but on a few individuals who the Senators shall choose themselves (!):
"Then there's my Glove, Defend and open your uncharged Ports, Those Enemies of Timons, and mine owne Whom you your selves shall set out for reproofe, Fall and no more"
.... and pledges that his army will obey Athens' laws (although I don't see whether this includes the objects of his revenge):
"and to attone your feares With my more Noble meaning, not a man Shall passe his quarter, or offend the streame Of Regular Justice in your Citties bounds, But shall be remedied to your publique Lawes At heaviest answer."
This text leads me to think that the bit with the glove is not throwing down the gauntlet, as we think of it, as a sign of challenge, but somehow a sign of accepting the terms of reconciliation. At the end of the play, as in history, Alcibiades returns from Sparta to Athens (...although he later must flee after more shenanigans, but this isn't really an history.) rewinn 04:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there a Wikipedia article for the Land of Oz theme park in the North Carolina mountains? If not, why not make one? Isn't it defunct now? Badagnani 05:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Zappernapper 22:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
On 3 June 2006, you add this to Charun: "Similar to Charon, he is the Estruscan equivalent, at least in terms of function, and was superceded by him when the Trojans came to Italy."
Specify source. Charun is merely a Greek loan. Trojans never came to Italy; the "Tyrrhenoi" did (aka "Etruscans", not Trojans). (See Herodotus, Histories I.94 for the direct source.) Different peoples with different names. Are you confused? --Glengordon01 09:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
The details may be more inspired by the Aeneid than by history, but Charon is a Greek loan, while Charun is a substantially different figure of similar function that was replaced with the Gree Charon subsequent to Greek influence. The description and vehavior of Charun seem to me different enough to warrant a separate entry, even if my historical facts are wrong. Scottandrewhutchins
Yes, I understand, but where in the Aeneid? Quote? If you can't justify your claim with a source, give up. --Glengordon01 05:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I didn't say Charun was mentioned in the Aeneid. I meant the Aeneid says that the Roman figures come to Italy via the Trojans. I don't have access to the source of the claims about horses or the bashing of souls with a hammer, but I believed they are derived from one of two books by Jeff Rovin, either The Fantasy Encyclopedia or The Encyclopedia of Monsters. Please see Wikipedia definitions of vandalism before you accuse me of it again. Scottandrewhutchins 15:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
The Fantasy Encyclopedia and The Encyclopedia of Monsters?? This proves you have low reading standards. If you can't separate "proven fact" from "fantasy" or "science" from "science fiction", you have no business editing. I suggest you follow the link on Wiki vandalism and actually *read* what it says instead of daydreaming about monsters:
Yours would be vandalism because of insertion of nonsense. Charun bonking the deceased with a hammer is a clear example of nonsense. Grow up and read labrys if you're truly interested in facts about Charun's "hammer". --Glengordon01 15:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
You have one undocumented claim that Charun wielded a labrys rather than a hammer. I'm so impressed. Rovin said that Charun carries either a hammer or an axe depending on the source. Scottandrewhutchins 18:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I hardly care whether you're impressed. Stating that the hammer is a labrys or labrys derivative is based on historical facts. Hardly outlandish. Claiming that Charun clubs people with a religious symbol based on the word of a sci-fi writer however proves you're a lunatic and a vandal. "Sourced" doesn't mean "based on just any cockamamey book". --Glengordon01 18:35, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and as for a source. Take a hard lookey at something from Robert S. P. Beekes The Origin of the Etruscans, my neophyte friend:
Note he's quoting Versnel who says the same damn thing that I'm trying to get through to you. You could have googled that yourself if you weren't so lazy and prone to fantasy books. And in case you're wondering, Beekes is an important scholar particularly of Indo-European linguistics, not a sci-fi writer. So crawl back to the hole you came from, buddy, or learn how to research for yourself. --Glengordon01 19:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
The quote says nothing about Charun, and you're resorting to personal attacks, which is another violation of Wikipedia policy. Scottandrewhutchins 22:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Have you read this book? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0838750613/sr=8-1/qid=1155422077/ref=sr_1_1/102-3030524-8738536?ie=UTF8 Scottandrewhutchins 22:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Can't you understand what "academic source" means? Nobody knows who Ronnie H. Terpeling is. Is he a recognized scholar? Never heard of him. Robert S. P. Beekes on the other is a famous linguist and that article that you refuse to read is expounding upon the labrys symbolism, identical to that in the Charun imagery. Can't understand? Too bad. Them's facts.
Claiming that "Charun smashes people's souls with a hammer" is as lunatic as saying "Jesus smashes people's souls with his cross in heaven". If you find that insulting, I equally find your twisted understanding of ancient religions insulting. End of discussion. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Please, get lost. --Glengordon01 23:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

More vandalism on the French wikipedia perchance? Are you the illusive and conveniently anonymous "Discussion Utilisateur:24.168.35.44" by chance? Seems kinda coincidental that an edit war is starting in two languages on the same obscure topic of Charun. On the same dumb issue too. Odder still is how this IP can be traced to a server located in Herndon, VA... an American server, right by you. But far be it from me to connect the dots. --Glengordon01 18:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Another IP address: 66.9.70.2... concidentally from the United States. Either there is a rash of generous Americans contributing to the French Wikipedia lately on the topic of Charun, or more likely, a single American with a mediochre understanding of French and an unhealthy obsession for sexy people named Glen :) is trying to bug me personally.

User:Glengordon01 brought this to my attention:[4]. I have already asked you twice at Talk:Charun to interact in a more polite manner and am very disappointed to see that you posted this so recently. This works against the spirit of dispute resolution and if it continues you may find yourself the subject of a user conduct RfC or an administrative block. Durova 23:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted your ego from my talk page. If I could block you from it, I definitely would in a heartbeat:
You: Avid interest in children's toys and hollywood films
Me: Avid 15-year interest in comparative linguistics, studying the Etruscan language for a couple of years.
Who knows better about Etruscan civilization? This is not your forté. Your arrogance knows no bounds. A person who is deluded enough to believe that they can string along out-of-context quotes and yet have a grasp of a subject in a matter of weeks is not worth talking to. It fools Wikipedia; it doesn't fool me. So I doubt your capacity to discuss Charun on a higher level, with a level of maturity necessary to treat the subject fairly.
Others have noticed your article is heavily POV [5] and rightly tacked "citations needed" on almost every ludicrous sentence of yours in this article.
But you honestly think that referencing the article to death with sci-fi authors is going to make it any less POV.
Improvements on the page? Oh yes. Here is your wonderful list of references that remain on the article:
Alice K. Turner: Author of the pornographic trash hit Playboy book of science fiction. Good call. Your level of research is impeccable.
Jeff Rovin: Author of 500 Hilarious Jokes for Kids. Quoting authors of children's materials shows a high level of sophistication on your part. We're all proud of you.
But... do you quote real Etruscanologists like Massimo Pallottino or Larissa Bonfante. Nope, because that would smash all of your amateur idées fixes on the subject you plague.
So what still don't you understand? I've been ever so clear, Scotty. --Glengordon01 07:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
PS, while Wikipedia may not get it, you for one prove that original research can be done by cherrypicking out-of-context quotes from authors. This is precisely what your tactic has been.
So when you quote a professional like Nancy de Grummond who knows the subject better than any of your other has-been sci-fi authors, you quote her only as an afterthought on minor things. Clever ploy but not sensible research. --Glengordon01 07:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
It's hardly an afterthought when she is the principal source. You're still dmeonstrating that you don't understand Wikipedia policy. You also refuse to acknowledge that I've been studying mythology avidly since I was in elementary shcool. You're also continuing to be uncivil. You're still failing to understand that I CAN'T quote the two you cited unless they are talking about Charun, otherwise I violate WP:NOR. If they say something about Charun, I can get the books out of the library and quite them. --Scottandrewhutchins 16:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
You can certainly quote Etruscanologists if you do your homework and look for references. I've told you about Larissa Bonfante whose view I share despite your own violations of WP:Civility. Thankfully, you finally added them. "[...]I've been studying mythology avidly since I was in elementary shcool"... It's spelled "school". --Glengordon01 01:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I am well aware of the spelling of "school", but I'm not a professional typist and sometimes letters get transposed due to manual, but never mental, errors. --Scottandrewhutchins 10:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Finally! Someone who supports me. I am not familiar enough with how these "requirements" are made even though Wikipedia finds them "contestable". How do we go about changing these requirements?
There's all this going on, but it seems like just a bunch of people shouting at each other and not actally a constructive way to get things done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notability In Defense of the Artist 21:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Scottandrewhutchins. I am sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you have a source for your edit about Mr Rosenman and the music for Kubrick's film, Barry Lyndon, that you recently amde. I have had to add the citation needed tag for now. You don't need to respond to me but if you have the source for this info you can either create a footnote, start a reference section just above the external links part of the page, or cite your source on the discussion page for the film. If, before you click on SAVE PAGE, you cite the source in the edit summary line that works too, but it is too late to do that for this edit. I appreciate your edit but if a source isn't cited any wikipedian can come along and remove the entry so please help if you can. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 19:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, sorry to bother you. If I interpreted the discussion page of the Eva Green article correctly, you included in the article a reference to her being a composer. The article also says that she composed the score to the film The Dreamers. I find this information very interesting and would like to find out more on the subject, but I have not been able to locate another source that mentions it. I am sure that you were correct in including these facts in the article, I am simply at a loss for further information. Therefore, since I would imagine you know where the information came from, it would be a great help if you could tell me where I might find out more about it. It would also be very helpful if you could reply on my talk page so that I know when you have replied. I also have much less entries on my talk page, so your reply will be easier to locate if you put it there. Thank you very much, and I apologize for any bother this may cause you.

Okay, thanks anyway. I guess I'll just have to search harder to find out more. Thank you for your time, and have nice day.

Hello. I'd like to ask you two questions about Template:Oz. One: do you think the 1933 cartoon, The Wizard of Oz, is worth including there? Two: about that heading, "the feature film adaptations" - I thought a feature film ran 40 minutes or four reels. Clearly, some of the 1910s adaptations don't fit that bill, so might another heading not be more appropriate? Biruitorul 04:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Scottandrewhutchins (also from Indy),
I stole a technique from someone else which allows you to format User Boxes into perfect columns:
== User Boxes ==
|
| ||||
|
|
(View source to see "code.")
This might not be important to you, but it reduced the length of my page to be manageable. If you put three vertical bar between the hyphens, then you get three columns. See User:lmcelhiney for an example.
Take care,
Larry

I'm alerting you to the fact that I've nominated the article on Earl Zea for speedy deletion. I can see nothing that makes him notable enough to have an article in the encyclopedia. There are directions on the speedy delete template for you to contest this. AniMate 04:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
The Earl Zea story is quite notable and deserving of an entry. I was 14 when it happened about 10 blocks from my house, and there was quite a panic induced as the initial report claimed that a burglar had removed his penis.
Evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Etruscan_mythology&diff=111843351&oldid=111797626
Any personal attacks against me clearly have no bearing on Etruscan mythology. Therefore it does not belong on that page. Using these irrelevancies for your own personal interests is vandalism and violates WP:LIBEL which reads:

Please don't add groups which don't have demonstrable importance when considered in the light of the global history of Christianity over the last 2,000 years (not just the English speaking world over the last 200 years) -- that's how the last big argument on the Template_talk:Christianity page started.

I honestly have no clue who is supposed to be named what, but you've made an edit history mess of nightmarish proportions with your warring. If you want a page moved, you use the move button up top.

Hi, and thanks for asking. Hang in there, and I'll explain everything.
I'm actually a bit confused since the reverted version has a whole paragraph about DeMatteis' run, but no matter. I reverted because the previous versions had so many stylistic, edit-guideline and other errors, too many to fix individually. Material belonging under PH was placed in FCB, opinions were introduced ("The final issue justified its end..."), non-notable and subjective trivia was introduced ("in an issue of What If, one of the characters looked something like Man-Thing"), etc. There is a standard introduction that WikiComics Project editors have agreed upon through consensus. Subheads per Wiki guidelines are not capitalized by titles. That last thing in particular is extremely basic. Until an editor reads up more on Wiki guidelines in general and WikiProject Comics guidelines in particular, it's far better generally better to make a series of small editors rather than a whole bunch in a single bulk edit. Editors seeing a whole mess o' stylistic and formatting errors are apt to revert.
I know this is criticism, but it's specific and technical and not personal, and I hope you take this in the collaborative spirit in which it's given. If your fellow editors, such as myself, weren't committed to working together, we wouldn't take the time to be so detailed. I can send you links to some of the policies if you'd like; just ask -- believe me, it' easier than wading through and looking for some of them! Thanks, and I look forward to seeing your properly styled/formatted edits. --Tenebrae 21:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Alien Terror, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Alien Terror is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Alien Terror, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 05:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:54549490462.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self-no-disclaimers)) 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 ((non-free fair use in|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. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC).

A "((prod))" template has been added to the article Keith Dworkin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. B. Wolterding 08:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with your moving/renaming the article to "Pit and the Pendulum" without first discussing the issue on the article's talk page. While I can probably guess that your reasoning is the fact the IMDB, All Movie Guide, and MRQE list the movie without the first "The", the vast majority of all reviews/sources/online movie sites/reference materials that I've seen refer to the film as "The Pit and the Pendulum". In all interviews that I've read, Roger Corman, Richard Matheson, and Vincent Price referred to the film as "The Pit and the Pendulum". It is always advertised in that manner. I believe English language Wikipedia articles should utilize a film's most commonly known English-language title. Perhaps adding (AKA Pit and the Pendulum) after the bolded title at the beginning of the article would have been more appropriate. If your argument is that the onscreen title should have precedent over all other sources, I believe you are incorrect. "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"'s onscreen title is "Meet Frankenstein", yet almost nobody refers to the film in that manner. "Witchfinder General"'s onscreen title is "Matthew Hopkins - Witchfinder General", but only a fraction of reliable sources use that particular title. I am considering reverting your edit but I would like to be made aware of what your reasons for making the change in the first place were.-Hal Raglan 18:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:MIMP_promo.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
((di-replaceable fair use disputed))
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

A ((prod)) template has been added to the article Citrusville, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hello Scott
I enjoyed meeting you as well. It was nice to be reminded of L. Frank Baum, graphic novels, and how these works refuse to be pigeon-holed in one category or another, as if, being a children's book, a Baum work cannot also be fantastic literature or the basis of a comic book. Take care — Gosgood 13:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
By definition Christians believe that Jesus is your lord and savior. Unity believes Jesus is a Master Teacher, Jesus the Christ. If you define Christianity as a way of being (life style) then yes we are Christian. Other wise no.

Hi just leting you know I did add a ref and a link, I am within the guidelines to add informatiom to the page. Being a student of Unity and New thought I do know about the history of Unity and roots in the movement. I did add the link JGG59 August 2007
I am just curious and would love to discuss New Thought and Christianity. You know and I know that traditional Christians believe "Jesus as lord and savior". If you describe it in the broadest sense of the word it is a life style. I have been a student of Unity and Religious Science for years. I know the Minister will determine what text will be used Buttterworth rarely used the Bible. I have attended for years Unity NY and Rev Paul can not use the Bible at all but a Broadway Show to make a point. I have attended Unity where the Minister will bring in a Taoist Text. I belief when we restrict New Thought we limit ourselfs. That true spirituality is open at the top hence the whole point of the New Thought movement.I love Jesus but I relate to him in the Unity, New Thought concepts not traditional Christian concepts. Knowing Unity, Religious Science and Divine Science are a new movement independent of Christianity or even a extention or expansion of Christian concepts to what I believe Jesus was here to tell us. JGG59
I guess the point is in the context of the artical is Unitys beginnings which is firmly established in The New Thought movement. Which has taken The Bible away from literalist. The Fillmores started with the Christian Scientist moved in line with Emma Curtis Hopkins Mother of New Thought. You and I know if we were to sit down with traditional Christians we would be talking a foreign language. Religious Science, Divine Science or any of the independent New Thought churchs speak the same and pray the same and have thier origins in The New Thought Movement. In the context of the artical I wanted the origins to be clear. JGG59
Thanks that sounds more in line with what I wanted to convey. Thank you. JGG59 —Preceding unsigned comment added by JGG59 (talk • contribs) 20:37, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

While I admire the scholarship in the recent expansion of that section, I feel it's bordering into the trivial. It's not always clear if we're talking of influences on or from Swamp Thing. It it's all influences from then that's too many. If it's just a list of related creatures, then it's trivia. The monster from the swamp is a common trope in fiction anyway. The only relevant mentions are: The Heap, Sturgeon's It, and possibly Man-Thing for the coincidence.
The bulk of this information should appear either under Heap or It rather than under Swamp Thing. --Leocomix 14:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jinnicky.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Shakespeare Project consensus has long been that we bold only the common titles of the plays. The "full titles" aren't really even the real titles, they're just what the printer gave them in one of the early editions of the play, and every edition gives it a different title.

Please stop adding misinformation to the aforementioned articles. The source you are citing is a webposting of an AP report of an oral report of a preliminary study that reached no statistically significant results, and which will probably never be printed in a refereed peer-reviewed journal. In short, it is an unreliable source. Furthermore, from your summation of that source, you either do not understand its findings, or are intentionally misrepresenting them. Readdition will merely result in their removal; and if you repeatedly revert, you will be blocked. If you wish to discuss any changes to the articles, do so on their talk page. - Nunh-huh 14:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

You seem to have reverted to your preferred version of HIV for the third time within 24 hours. You may also have done so on other articles. Please read WP:3RR.

Actually, the sentence is not mine but I did move it. I removed it from an article on 'Frankenstein's Creature' as they didn't fit there; it was used to justify calling the creature 'Frankenstein'...it doesn't. I didn't have the heart to destroy it as it is somewhat true (probably well researched), however, it shouldn't be in an article about 'Frankenstein's Creature' but 'Viktor Frankenstein', where I moved it.

Conversely a good faith editor, who believes that removing content would be an improvement isn't a vandal. Addhoc (talk) 19:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.
First of all, you are breaking two of the three main content policies: the verifiability and original research ones. You're adding original research that you can't verify.
"Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source.
If the films are really connected in terms of continuity or crossovers, you should be able to cite a reliable source.
Second of all, all the films you added are irrelevant to the topic of the template. The only connection with the Godzilla films and the other Toho films, like I've said before, is that (1) they're made by Toho and (2) some of those films are made by the same team as the original Godzilla. This does not mean they're still part of the Godzilla franchise.
Finally, your accusations of vandalism to me are absurd. Removing relevant material is vandalism, but deleting irrelevant material is definitely not. What makes Tomei Ningen, Half Human, ESPY, Prophecies of Nostradamus, etc. relevant to the Godzilla franchise anyways?
Thank you, and good night. — Enter Movie (talk) 00:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.
Please stop vandalizing the Godzilla template. If you can prove that Tomei Ningen, Half Human, The H-Man, The Secret of the Telegian, The Human Vapor, The Last War, Matango, Dogora, Latitude Zero, Fancy Paradise, Nihon Chinbotsu, Prophecies of Nostradamus, ESPY, Visitor to the Pupil's Center, Blue Christmas, Deathquake, School in the Crosshairs, Daijōbu, My Friend, Sayonara Jupiter, Portrait in Prussian Blue, Nineteen, Tokyo Blackout, Princess from the Moon, Zeiram, Mikadroid: Robokill Beneath Discoclub Layla, Supergirl Reiko, Nostradamus: The Prophecy, GUNHEAD, and Nihon Chinbotsu are connected to the Godzilla franchise in any way (with the exception of that they're made by Toho and that some of the films are made by the same team as the original Godzilla), please explain so in the template talk page. But if you continue to edit and add those films onto the template without verification that "one is incomplete without the other," you will be blocked from editing. Thank you. — Enter Movie (talk) 03:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys, I don't have much opinion on who is right in the content dispute here (altho, if Enter Movie is correct about the lack of connection to the franchise, that sounds pretty convincing to me.) But, please don't toss around accusations of vandalism simply because someone makes an edit you disagree with. See Wikipedia:Vandalism for more info. Friday (talk) 18:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
He is a vandal using his own terms, since he is the first one to accuse me of vandalism. therefore, if anything I have done is vandalism, what he has done must also be considered as such. By Wikipedia standards, neither of us is a vandal, by the standards with which he is judging me, he is the pot calling the kettle black. As I've said, Toho has a catalog listing all of these science fiction films together on a flowchart, and Dogora, Matango, Gohtne, and numerous others have appeared in Godzilla video games and other sorts of memorabilia. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 18:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:DESTINY.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

I noticed your edit to the Hodag article. Would you consider holding off writing the article until the last week of March? I would like to propose the article for the Did You Know section on the main page for April Fool's day. There's something about a mythic creature that works for that day.

I've indefinitely blocked you due to vandalism on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Charred penis (which I have speedy-deleted). Since these edits are out of character for you, I suspected that your account was compromised.

I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Bitchy.
1) So I didn't read the talk pages. The world isn't ending 2) It's not vandalism, it was an oversight. 3) Make sure you add what I updated in Paul Destine even though it is a small addition otherwise it's a "blind reversion". 4) Although they have reverted, which I don't mind, I did state in the merge at the top they were unrelated to each other. 5) I was the one who originally separated the Destiny's 2 years ago. 6) You seriously didn't need to throw a tantrum. Speaking to someone usually works.

An editor has nominated Carla Rueckert, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carla Rueckert and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:DaveLee.JPG. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - AWeenieMan (talk) 23:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.

Thanks for uploading Image:MonsterInMyPocket_Doc.pdf. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 ((non-free fair use in|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. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 13:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I'm trying to re-do the format of the video games notable for negative reception article and remove unsourced games from the list. I understand that L-Zwei might have been committing vandalism in your eyes, but in fact he was moving the page back to a format which appears to have gained consensus for the most part on the talk page. I'm slowly working on adding articles back into the list fully sourced and with references that in particular reference the game as "the worst game ever" -- then I'll start adding in other articles on multiple "worst of" lists and with overall abysmal review scores.
I'm not going to revert back what you reverted, but I feel that you must understand why L-Zwei is getting rather annoyed. These reversions have been occuring back and forth between I am a jedi and many others (I am a jedi however has been participating in discussions, and though I disagree with his views, I respect him for that).
Anyways, I'd ask that you revert that page again, please comment on the talk page of the article. -- Nomader (Talk) 16:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ophélie Gaillard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. BencherliteTalk 07:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Fred Phelps are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article T. Harv Eker, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ninety:one 21:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Why do you keep reverting my redirect of The Screwfly Solution (Masters of Horror episode) under the claim of vandalism? If you disagree that it fails WP:EPISODE, WP:N, WP:WAF, and WP:PLOT and that it should not have an episode article, fine. Discuss it, but stop false calling the redirect vandalism. It is nothing of the sort. It is the prescribed method for dealing with an episode article that is nothing but a plot summary. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Greetings! You are invited to attend the second annual New York picnic on August 24! This year, it will be taking place in the Long Meadow of Prospect Park in Brooklyn. If you plan on coming, please sign up and be sure to bring something! Please be sure to come!

This is a reminder that the WikiNYC Picnic is tomorrow (August 24) from 2 PM to 8 PM. If you plan on being lost, be sure to come ahead of time! To clarify, the picnic will be taking place within or adjacent to the Picnic House in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I hope to see you there! --harej 03:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hmm... I've looked in the Brooklyn Paper archives and I see notices for upcoming performances, but not reviews; and there do seem to be quite a number of groups of this type, e.g. just opera companies in Brooklyn: Opera Company of Brooklyn, Regina Opera Company, Opera on Tap (Vertical Player Repertory appears not to be a community orchestra, but I'm not sure). I'm not sure how many of these you've heard of. Maybe it would be best if we had a deletion-proof Community orchestras in New York City article (there's a more general local listing here); actually, I notice we don't even have a Community orchestra article yet (analogous to the Community theatre article).--Pharos (talk) 00:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've asked about all the red links in this navbox here. I wonder if you could respond? Thanks. --Kleinzach 04:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Per your request to undelete the page, I've moved the page to your userspace: User:Scottandrewhutchins/"The Masterwork" Award Winning Fish-Knife. When/if you think the page establishes notability and importance please move the page back to mainspace. Do not do this before you have the page to an acceptable state, as I can't promise it won't be deleted again.
Also a suggestion, when you do move it, consider removing the quotes from the title. The title does not need to have "award winning" in it either. Good luck! —— nixeagle 18:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Mawfk.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 18:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ZOOUKCover.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
You can archive by reading WP:ARCHIVE. The instructions are there.
Your problems with fair use stem from the fact you are not adding a fair use rational as requested by the logo template on the image. See the template at Image:ZOOUKCover.jpg#Licensing:. I'm not up to date on what to do with these (I don't upload images let alone non-free images.) —— nixeagle 20:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Anddotheydo.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like ((PD-self)) (to release all rights), ((self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL))
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Calling someone an idiot [10] is not acceptable on WP. The problems with Template:Michael Nyman are caused by the dozens of red links you have added against WP guidelines: Red links should be avoided unless they have a chance of being developed into articles, and even if they do, editors are encourage to write the article first. --Kleinzach 02:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Altsq1-3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Good day. I see that you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. First off, thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, there are some guidelines that we need to follow with copyrighted images. Specifically, you need to add a source for the image (a link to a website will do), a copyright tag (there are some listed at WP:ICT), and a rationale explaining why we can use a copyrighted image (explained at WP:NFURG). I see that your images fail to include one of these. Please stop uploading images and address the concerns listed above. If you need assistance, you can ask at the help desk. If you do not fix these images, and you continue to make bad uploads, you will be blocked and your images will be deleted. Thanks for your contributions! STBotI (talk) 13:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Scottandrew. Actually, I'd complimented your edits generally, at Talk:Man-Thing, before adding my own edits, and I was just about to come to this page and compliment you on your PH polishes today. So, my kudos. As to the other edits, WPC MOS draws a bright-line distinction between PH content and FCB content. No biggie. Together, our separate edits improved the Man-Thing PH quite a bit, so I'm glad we had a chance to collaborate! -- Tenebrae (talk) 22:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Reminded by Dr. Calvin that S.H.I.E.L.D. has warned them that Advanced Idea Mechanics has been operating in the area, Sallis disobeys orders by bringing a woman (later retconned to be his wife, but consistently referred to here as "Miss Brandt"), Ellen Brandt, originally from Wisconsin,[19] to his shack, sleeping with her and telling her about the project as he destroys his notes, believing that the formula now exists only in his head. Motorboating to the laboratory, where his colleague, Harrison, is to pick up the sample, Brandt accompanies him, but they find Harrison collapsed on the floor, and Brandt has prepared an ambush. Fleeing to his car with the only sample of the serum, he injects himself with it, believing that he will become a Super-Soldier (someone of peak human, although not superhuman, abilities) and survive the crash and submersion, drives through a fence and into the swamp. The serum instantly reacts violently with the fen, and, as later explained, magical forces extant in the area, transforming him into...

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, finalize and approve bylaws, interact with representatives from the Software Freedom Law Center, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the June meeting's minutes and the September meeting's minutes).
We'll also review our recent Wikis Take Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wikipedia Loves Art! bonanza, being planned with the Brooklyn Museum for February.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

Hi Scott. I'm not sure what the problem is; that edit looks like a very simple formatting change. Maybe you just pressed enter accidentally; I certainly don't think there's anything to worry about.

BLP applies when you make statements about living figures, you are claiming that he made a number of factual errors - you need to supply reliable 3rd party sources that about this claim.

We'll make preparations for our exciting museum photography Wikipedia Loves Art! February bonanza (on Flickr, on Facebook) with Shelley from the Brooklyn Museum and Alex from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We'll also be collecting folks to join our little Wikipedia Takes the Subway adventure which will be held the day after the meeting.

Thank you for uploading Image:Zoouscover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jana Stanfield, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to David Friedman (composer). Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 05:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to David Friedman (composer). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article David Friedman (composer), you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Your statement in this edit summary where you state "I've also been in his apartment where he has the platinum records up and so forth" clearly demonstrates a personal involvement.

I gave additional reasoning at Talk:Princess Ozma for this. I hope this is acceptable to you and that you will add your voice to the discussion at WikiProject LGBT studies.

There is no page number, but if you take the intro as page 1, then if you look at the bottom left corner of page 6, Jennifer is pictured from the back and mentioned by name. It's a cameo though, so do what you will with the reference. :) 71.194.32.252 (talk) 03:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
It turns out that I was paying more attention to numbers than titles. It was actually a copy of The Mighty Avengers #19 that I was looking at, mixed in with issues of Avengers: The Initiative, so I was totally wrong in questioning you.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 02:34, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
The text on the "Roots Of Tommy" CD is incorrect in its attribution. The "Forever Changing" compilation features only original recordings from the Island years - 1967 to 1969. The version of "Pentecost Hotel" on the "Roots Of Tommy" compilation is an early 1970s remake of the song that the magazine licensed in rather than use the original Island recording. I believe that the choir version had previously surfaced on a non-Island Records compilation. I will check further. But the "Forever Changing" compilation features no re-recordings.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is David Friedman (composer). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Friedman (composer). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated Jana Stanfield, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jana Stanfield. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi. You just posted this warning on my talk page for some reason I cannot fathom. The only problem with that is that the last (and only) time I edited Wicked Witch of the West was in November 2008, which appears to have been a valid reversion. Maybe you confused me with someone else, but either way, you might want to read Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars before slapping warnings on people's talk pages like that. Cheers. --DAJF (talk) 06:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Vlcsnap-36825.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:KatherineCurtis.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the ((non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in)) tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

An article that you have been involved in editing, Brooklyn Repertory Opera, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brooklyn Repertory Opera. Thank you.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Note, I was not the editor who listed this for deletion. Voceditenore (talk) 08:45, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
I would suggest that you might start an article, List of semi-professional opera companies in New York City, which could include them all and give a paragraph or so to each of them.--Pharos (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Scottandrewhutchins! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,570 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the ((unreferencedBLP)) tag. Here is the list:

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of hate groups in the United States, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of hate groups in the United States. Thank you.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. AV3000 (talk) 18:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at List of hate groups in the United States. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.
Also, you need to stop removing the AFD template. AV3000 (talk) 18:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Please use the talk page to discuss this edit you've made.[11]. Thank you.Malke2010 21:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
It appears you made the edit to Death (DC Comics) claiming that Madame Xanadu met the Grim Reaper. Where did you get this information? If it appeared at all, it would have to be in an issue of The Spectre, as it's certainly was not in any of her early appearances. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 18:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Blanke Schande College requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. VQuakr (talk) 04:36, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

You need to provide some evidence that the Merlin in The Demon (vol. 1) is not the same as the Merlin in The Demon (vol. 2). If you can do so, I will stop making my changes.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 05:19, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Claiming that the DCU version of Hell debuted in The Demon (vol. 1) #1 is an unencyclopedic inference that would fall under WP:OR. Hell is never shown or mentioned until issue #14, and even then, it's a dream sequence. In the 1970s, Marvel's "demons" were shown to be interdimensional beings who would use concepts of Hell and Satan, but were distinctly separate from it, although Marvel's writers eventually changed this in the 1990s and depicted four Hells that met in a corner and were ruled by Pluto, Hela, and two original demons that went through various regime changes. Considering any time Kirby makes a reference to "Satan," he always places it in quotation marks as if highlighting such an assumption. In-universe, it might be appropriate to say that the concept of Hell debuted in this issue, but otherwise, it is unacceptable, because it is not a concept that derives from Kirby. Who's Who in the DC Universe claims that the Lords of Chaos and Order debuted in More Fun Comics #55, but I defy you to find any reference or depiction there beyond the retcon of saying Nabu is in the Doctor Fate helmet and that Nabu is a Lord of Order. And as far as the Lords of Chaos, where are they? Steve Gerber said that one of the reasons he used Negal as the principal villain in his Doctor Fate run is because he was not portrayed as a Lord of Chaos, a concept he found boring. The Lords of Chaos are nowhere to be seen anywhere in The Golden Age Doctor Fate Archives.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 12:12, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
By the way, telling me to "behave myself" when I acted properly is a violation of WP:civility.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 12:53, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't really care what your request is. WP is not the place for you to post your manifesto. Arzel (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Hell (DC Comics), you may be blocked from editing. --Xero (talk) 09:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
It is clear that you have read neither The Demon (vol. 1) #1 nor DC Special Series #8, or you would not repeatedly make the erroneous assertions that you did. Again, Hell, Lucifer, The Presence, and the Silver City neither appear nor are mentioned in The Demon #1. DC Special Series #8 does not feature a dream sequence. It does, indeed, show a man signing messages Lucifer, but Lucifer himself is shown on several pages with a council including the spirits of Hitler, Nero, Fawkes, and several others, and he is explicitly controlling the man who is signing the messages. An imposter Lucifer appeared in Blue Devil #31, but I didn't even mention him, although he does die and go to Hell at the end of the issue. Trying to claim that the DC Universe concept of Hell appeared in The Demon (vol. 1) #1 is a violation of WP:OR and WP:Manual of style (writing about fiction). Please refrain from making such edits. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 03:35, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Hell (DC Comics), you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
Thanks for uploading File:Fitzsimmons Corbett 1897.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thanks for uploading File:JedClaircesmall.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((dated prod))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
