P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

I'm embarrassed by how many broken links there were on those pages - thanks for the fixes :) -- sannse (talk) 14:31, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

That's an arduous task :) But let me make a small suggestion: when you see the phrase "Ottoman Turks" or "Turkish empire", when you disambiguate the Ottoman part, do expand the link to include the other word, too. TIA. --Joy [shallot] 10:52, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

First, it's always nice to hear from a fellow LA native. Second, the redirect in question was an old B-Movie Bandit nanostub that was one of a whole mess that came in that day. I was redirecting many of them on the advice of an administrator because the stubs were just useless by themselves. Hope this clears things up. Thanks for filling me in. - Lucky 6.9 18:23, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with the pet skunk page.Nathanlarson32767 05:19, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There was a vandalism rampage yesterday; a hundred or so pages moved to random names such as Afddfassfsjk. The redirect arises out of the pages being moved back [1] ... some of the redirects so caused didn't get deleted. On you go. --Tagishsimon (talk)

I think most were deleted. If you come across any that weren't then yes, they should be. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Thanks for the image resize on Homer Hickam. I just figured out how to set the image size and was going back to the page to shrink it, but you beat me to it. :) Thanks Hoekenheef 00:47, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I basically just created some links on a stub page. I will try to check my links more carefully in the future. -- Chris 73 Talk 02:23, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You've helped with User:Sietse Snel/Fix common mistakes project, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

That's cause I don't really know what they are. Initially I thought they'd be public domain, but then I thought they maybe they're not. Most of them are from the communist era, and I have no idea what copyrights were like then. Dori | Talk 13:58, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

All I can remember was that the images were made available for non-commmercial and educational use by the South African who took the pics. jimfbleak 07:23, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Regarding the picture of Mauritshuis, this: Image:Mauritshuis, Den Haag, juni 2003.jpg is the correct picture. The other one, Image:Afbeelding Mauritshuis, Den Haag, juni 2003.JPG has a wrong name and no content and may be deleted. Thanks Ellywa 10:38, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

hello there. I uploaded that image a long time ago. I believe it was taken from a website on purported alien skulls. Dunno if it's copyrighted. Wareware 13:42, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I have just read the free license page, and it would seem I am guilty of assuming that offering credit for a copyrighted image makes it "ok" to use it.

I've just noticed (belatedly) some edits you made 'correcting' spelling. The issue is not so clear as many think, and there has been considerable (teapot tempest, admittedly) discussion at Talk:Cryptography and at Wikiproject:Cryptography. The modus vivendi seems to be to correct only to make an article consistent, but not to correct in an otherwise consistent article. Whichever value of correct is supported.

Thought I'd bring the discussion(s) to your attention. ww 21:26, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I think, perhaps in error, that it was some software malfunction after subsequent editing responsible for the duplication in these articles. In any case, as the initiator of the first and a contributor to the second, I deeply appreciate your taking the time to notice the duplications there, correct these duplications, and contact me. Your actions are an outstanding example of the best and most constructive cooperative efforts that make one proud to be a Wikipedian. ((User:Zulitz/Zulitz)) 2:21, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for adding that cleanup (context) notice at 1923-24 NHL season. When I saw that there was a clean-up notice, I didn't realize that the lack of context could be a problem. --Ricky81682 (talk) 09:10, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a useful tag, I only discovered it a few days ago. You might want to reconsider having a separate article for that NHL season though, unless there's something especially noteworthy about that season for which there isn't room in NHL or whereever. Wikipedia isn't a sports almanac after all. --fvw* 09:13, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

I strongly feel the St. John's book list does belong in Wikipedia as one of the few actual examples of Educational perennialism in practice and one of the few examples of a Great Books curriculum. As you've probably seen it's up for deletion. As an article in itself it is perceived as just another meaningless list.

The question I have is this. Are the book lists actually different at the Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses? I think the list should be merged into one of the St. John's articles, but since the Annapolis campus is the original campus I'm thinking it should go there unless the two campuses actually have different curricula. Do you or other contributors have any comments on this?

I'd appreciate some insight as to how the books are actually use at St. Johns. I made some joking remarks but I'd really like to know... are modern textbooks assigned as optional reading, or do lecturers provide modern context? Dpbsmith (talk) 11:39, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You were kind enough to contribute to the Wikipedia:Untagged images project; I beg to draw your attention to part 2 of the project - there are about 12,000 more images in need of tagging. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Your edits may not be extremely long and lengthy (no offense), but they are sorely needed here. Wikipedia needs not so much new articles as cleanup to what it already has. Well, thanks for the compliment. Good day, --Merovingian (t) (c) 13:25, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for redirecting Lost Horizon links, but please remember that there was also a 1973 version, Lost Horizon (1973). (OK, so everybody invlved is probably trying to forget it!). Cheers, -Willmcw 03:21, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for noticing and correcting that bad Alexander link. Your user page made me laugh, so now I have to go read all those favorite BJAODNs, damn it. Mothperson 10:47, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your note re: delinking.

I am still confused by the year aspect... My pet peeve is linked years. For a date to be properly, preferentially convertable, does the YEAR require linking?

Example: October 31, 1970 vs October 31, 1970

I can't tell from the date linking style guide that you sent me to whether or not I am spoiling these dates by not linking 1970.

In the meantime, I will continue to delink instances of YEARS appearing alone: "He was born in 1907" becomes "He was born in 1907" but I will leave alone "He was born on January 22, 1982."

Thanks again. --AStanhope 15:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Uh, if you're going to adopt the Greek spelling, you should adopt it all the way: Potheinos (Ποθεινος — since it could have been Ποθεινους, I did check against the Greek text of Dio, ch. 36). Pothinus was the accepted Latin spelling; as it now stands, *Potheinus is a hybrid form that nobody used.... Bill 22:38, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:07, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

I saw your note at Talk:RuneScape runes and I can't tell you how great it is to have somebody who agrees with me that this stuff should all be removed. If you look at a bunch of the talk pages, you'll see me arguing with users who keep complaining about how there's so much more they need to add and how they're going to split the articles into two, three, four more pieces. Let me ask your advice: what would you suggest with such minor articles like Castle Wars, RuneScape bestiary and the newest one RuneScape dungeons? I don't want to, but I might just VFD them until people get the point that this cannot continue to keep growing. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:01, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it's sometimes hard to get a word in edgewise with cruft lovers. Those particular pages are too FAQy; I'd suggest listing those on the transwiki page (wherever that is) and send them to the Wikicity. Castle Wars is borderline for inclusion; while a minigame of a popular game is sometimes worthy of mention here, even this is turning into a "how to play" instead of "what the heck is it?!?" guide.

What you should do is sort out a definitive list of everything you think should be moved and go to the core page and discuss the move. After all on the Wikicity they're encouraged to add cruft to make it the ultimate database! As for the inevitable "oh it's a really really really important game!" argument, you can quote the Wikipedia:Pokeprosal vote, where it was discovered that WP users think even Pokemon aren't exempt from our cruft/vanity/notability rules.

You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page.

I see that you are a Jain. I have a bit of a favor to ask. Can you add the userbox User_Jain? I am trying to spread Jain usership on wikipedia.

You just voted to delete a box which you display (User Jain). In fact, I believe you created the original. This box even has the characteristic category association that you claim is your reason for voting delete. This is sheer hypocrisy.

Sorry to jump to conclusions about the template. I'm sorry that I used that wording without waiting to hear a response. My reason for calling it hypocrisy was based in part upon my erroneous thought that you were one of the people citing bandwidth and server space as reasons for deleting them. I have struck through it rather than deleting it so as not to seem like I am trying to tak your comment out of context. You don't need me to tell you that you have a right to remove it if you feel it was a personal attack. I understand that if your sole reason for feeling that they be deleted is that they might be used as a call to arms, you wouldn't feel the need to remove it as you wouldn't necessarily be swayed by it, but it does seem strange to me that you would keep on your page something which you are voting to delete. I got rather worked up over this as I felt that the the nomination, however valid the points were, was circumventing the ongoing policy discussion at Wikipedia:Proposed policy on userboxes. You should probably voice your concerns there if you haven't already.

We meet again, under happier circumstances. Thank you for semiprotecting the page. As a result, or at least soon after, the tone of email exchange I was having with the user in question changed dramatically. He wasn't trying to get advertising so much as protect his trademark. He has emailed permissions and I directed him to the link you provided as well. He had been writing code for 20 hours straight and was irritable. He is a perfectly reasonable person and wants to work this out. I explained the naming conventions and noted that he might want to rewrite at Remagine (web). I also told him that I would change the {{otheruses4}} tag for him if semiprotect was still on. I explained that the talk page should be used for discussion. I think he could make a good argument for his page being the main article and the album be disambig'ed. I hope that you accept his apologies through me; he can't leave them here as he is blocked for 24 hours. Once again, I'm sorry about the userbox thing. I was in a similar state of mind as our "vandal" here.

This user wants to be your friend.

Ricky, I understand the reasons behind what you did, but setting this AfD up as a redirect to another was inaproppriate, and potentially confusing. I hope you don't mind, but I fixed the page into a proper listing. I'm sure the outcome would be the same, but at least this way no one can show up on WP:DRV and claim they were duped.

Thanks! It's also important to remember that combining such AfDs can only be done before any voting has started. Otherwise, it may look like people have voted for both pages, when in fact the first few to vote only voted for the first page posted, and might have voted differently if they saw both.

When you are using the no source or the no license tag on images, you need to include all the parameters like {{no source|month=January|day=17|year=2006}} so that admins can easily delete them after seven days. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-01-19T07:11:00.000Z","author":"Ricky81682","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ricky81682-2006-01-19T07:11:00.000Z-Image_tags","replies":["c-DESiegel-2006-01-19T16:24:00.000Z-Ricky81682-2006-01-19T07:11:00.000Z"]}}-->

Being an admin myself, i never trust what is included in the tags anyway -- I always check the history to see when the tag was actually inserted. I don't really think the additional parameters are that useful, and they way they were designed makes them significantly harder to use. I was already using these tags when there were no parameters, and they worked just fine. Still i will try to insert them in future. I may see if the tempalte can be usefully modified to insert teh current values as defaults.

I hope to see the whole thing done in the future. Since you are makeing final links and other changes, any record changes I have (I spent another 2.5 hours researching till 4am tonight as well ohhh my) I will just change by changeing each record instead of putting in the WHOLE thing again, since you have spent soo much time on that and it is GREATLY Appreciated, like you have no idea.

I wait for the next change in the NHC's Final Statements to make me spend more hours of researching more records and the ones that preceded it.

Some of your reverts of my William Calley edits were a bit questionable. For example, a mention that America's (perhaps) most notorious war criminal was a member of Americal Division seems no less notable than many other facts in the article. Although I may like posting William Calley info, please judge the notability of my edits on a site by site basis. These are good faith edits, even if they do sometimes sit in the grey area between notability and non-notability.

I would appreciate it if you would have this discussion directly with me instead of accusing me of nonsense on another user's (nuggetboy's) talk page. I acknowledge jewelry is a borderline case and will abide by whatever consensus forms there. However, some of my edits (eg Americal Division, Fort Benning) are much more clearly justified for inclusion. As I have pointed out, a brief survey of the resident lists that have frequently been upheld for numerous cities will demonstrate the my additon of Calley to Lake Worth falls well within the types of individuals who are frequently included on these lists. In short, please follow Wikipedia policy by presuming good faith.

Hi, you revereted my redirect of Mermen to The Mermen after I merged them (the reason you gave was that they hadn't been merged), there was literally one line from Mermen that could go in to The Mermen (which was about it not being a page on mythical creatures), the rest was duplication. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to put the redirect back in for the moment as The Mermen had more information and Mermen contained mostly duplicate info as I stated before. I'm still new to Wikipedia & not really an active contributor so if this is against etiquette please let me know, thanks :) Emulsive Sinner 03:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-02-26T03:37:00.000Z","author":"Emulsive Sinner","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Emulsive_Sinner-2006-02-26T03:37:00.000Z-Mermen","replies":["c-Emulsive_Sinner-2006-02-26T15:31:00.000Z-Emulsive_Sinner-2006-02-26T03:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

Ah, my mistake I thought that once there was a redirect it canceled out the rest of the page. Thanks, I'll get that fixed now.

Thank you for blocking 192.87.3.201 (talk · contribs) at List of University of Texas at Austin people. I think he has reappeared as 63.145.99.220 (talk · contribs) under what may be an open proxy.
