image names

In regards to my image names as IMG_137.jpg or whatever, I understand in the future to give an idea of what the picture is for other editing users, but I don't really see this as an issue to bring up - it doesn't show on the article so it really shouldn't matter.

Forget Me Nots - Spam Warning -.- Did you even look at the edit before you reverted???????

I would think not, because some information and a link to an alzheimers society page which gives information was what I added - then I realised it was already ON THE PAGE! So I went back and fixed a typo and then added some information about the meaning of the Alzheimers logo - which is a forget-me-not ( the page I edited). I dont even know if this is where I should comment - but it says speak to the user - and I cant see how else to do it. and since your message to me was on my page - I figure that I should put my message to you on your page. NO doubt you will inform me if I am incorrect.

Your recent report to AP:AIV

Thank you for making a report about Andala (talk · contribs · block log) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. In this case your final warning was issued after the last edit to grace churches. If this continues leave another report on WP:AIV, but please also beware of WP:3RR. Any further questions don't hesitate to get in touch. Regards. Khukri 10:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elliot(t) Cho

Elliot Cho was deleted, but I copied the discussion on his name over to Talk:Elliott Cho. Perhaps we'll reach consensus there.— Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 15:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skin (Japanese band)

Thank you very much for stepping in as a NPOV editor. The article has undergone a lot of changes by one or more anonymous users on what seems to be a fan-based agenda. Your edits have since been reverted, but I think help from admins is on the way. Thank you very much! --Jacob 06:31, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello – While trying to sift through the GGWO saga to see if it needs protection and why, I noticed that a couple of days ago you were reverting Andala's talk page after he/she removed some template warnings and blanked his/her talk page. At one time that was indeed frowned upon and I reported several folks to WP:AIV for it. However, several months ago the general consensus moved away from dealing with it as vandalism. In short, removal of user talk page warnings is no longer considered vandalism or disruption.

The thinking behind the change is that if an editor removes a talk page warning, that means he's seen it, and that's the whole point of the warning anyway. Reverting or re-inserting the warnings after someone has deleted them often inflames an already bad situation, it keeps attention away from the real issues at hand, and it can allow an aggrieved editor to feel like a victim. I've seen such editors use that supposed victimization to (try to) sway others over to their way of thinking, even if one situation has little to do with the other.

I probably won't get into the GGWO discussion because I have a strong opinion for one version over the other, meaning I won't be the most impartial admin and that someone else should help. I did want to give you a heads-up for the next time you see someone blanking or deleting talk page warnings. It used to be a big no-no, but no longer. Thanks - KrakatoaKatie 08:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take it to WP:SSP or WP:ANI, not WP:RFCU. Before you go to SSP, you might try a request for comment or open a case with MedCab for help solving the dispute. KrakatoaKatie 04:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Failing to assert notability is precisely what the A7 criteria is all about. There isn't any claim in that article that, if true, would meet the notability guideline. That's precisely A7's reason for existence. Erechtheus 01:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we're dealing with a good faith attempt here. My concern was more for the general policy you seemed to be suggesting in the edit summary. If your check of the topic tends to suggest there may be notability, I'm all for holding off and seeing where the article goes. Erechtheus 01:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, feel free to move to AFD any time you like. Erechtheus 01:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Commens Dictionary of Peirce's Terms

Re edit at Charles Peirce article. The Commens Dictionary of Peirce's Terms should not be confused with any Commons dictionary. It's got its own Website and everything, check it out http://www.helsinki.fi/science/commens/dictionary.html The word "commens" itself is Peirce's word for that which he also called the "commind". Basically it's com- + mens or "mind". The Tetrast 18:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Talk Page

Why have you deleted something off my talk page? I had another message there too before yours off someone else... maybe I want more messages than just a hello from you which I didnt really want anyway what with you putting all that other stuff telling me how to use this website. I want my other hello back too so I have more friends than just you. Christopher Noxley-Forris 20:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re those removed images you restored; the copyright there looks iffy. But I'm not sufficiently au fait with image copyright to be sure. I asked if someone at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts could take a look. Gordonofcartoon 03:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me niether, but I'm not sure either way. They looked as if they were removed by the artist, but it may not have been. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 06:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the images are all created from scratch by Sarah Coleman, an illustrator by profession, and thus well-versed in copyright law. However, to protect the images from being used by web users in any way whatsoever, I've decided to remove them.

Niall O'Dowd

Hi. I removed the prod tag from the Niall O'Dowd article as I tend to think he does pass WP:N, although obviously the article needs a lot of work. I have added some references, in a rough-and-ready manner and I'll try to wikify it during the week; there are certainly a lot of assertions that need to be referenced.

As for the possible COI, I haven't removed that tag, but I have to say that I don't think from the style that there is a COI problem here.

Revert troll posting on User talk:B1atv

Thanks for reverting the little vandalism. I'm personally loathed to remove things of my own user talk page for fear that it appears I am trying to censor criticism, warnings and complaints. I'm perfectly happy for other people to revert though ;-) B1atv 21:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hyena Article

Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry: Please stop notifying me about the Hyena article. You have no true evidence/proof that anything has evolved. If it were possible, perhaps you could show me before my own eyes evidence/proof. Unfortunately, you cannot. Please do not offend me further. As an end note, Wikipedia should support neither evolution nor Christianity, since neither may be correct (though Christianity has more counts than evolution). Evolution IS a THEORY, not a SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACT. Evolutionists cannot prove thus far that anything--period--has evolved. Please do not make such naive assumptions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kookywolf (talkcontribs) 21:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for pointing this out and being respectful, but as I have mentioned, do not send me any more notices. Also, please show/mention your so-called proof the next time this may come up. May I also add, the process of natural selection would take years for evolution to complete. Also, some fossils such as the Archaeopteryx fossil have been declared forgeries. How, then, are we supposed to believe in your many other fossils which simply look like a species of other animals, not a so-called evolutionary gap. If I have offended you, forgive me, but I will remind you again, do not send me another notice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kookywolf (talkcontribs) 21:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Candice Hillebrand

I've noticed that an alternate spelling of Candice Hillebrand's first name includes special characters. What would be the standard thing to do: create a redirect of the "special character" name, to this page? Or move her name over there? -WarthogDemon 22:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WikiProject Ships

Hello Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, and welcome to WikiProject Ships!

Please see the navigation sidebar on our main project page for information about our project guidelines, resources, and pending tasks. You can post any questions at the project talk page. Thank you for joining - we look forward to working with you! Maralia 23:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


What the??

Why are you reverting my edits?? A page about a specific Latter Day Saint denomination was recently moved from The Church of Jesus Christ to Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite). I am redirecting the links that used to link to this article. It is not appropriate for any of these to link to the generic The Church of Jesus Christ anymore, which itself should redirect to Church of Jesus Christ, which is a disambiguation page. Snocrates 02:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! You read my comment and deleted it without dissenting, so I assumed you agreed with me. Because there are many churches that call themselves "The Church of Jesus Christ", I thought it better to redirect that to the DAB page for christianity as a whole. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 02:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's OK. I can see how you could have thought that now, since one of the ones I was changing was History of The Church of Jesus Christ. That may be one of the ones that you are right about being better sent somewhere else, like a page about the history of Christianity or something. Snocrates 02:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, not a problem. I think you're the expert on the subject, so I'll leave your edits alone from now on - make whatever changes you see fit! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 02:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Users have every right to change a page that is up for deletion. In fact, I participated in a recent MfD in which the user managed to keep his page by substantially changing it.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lebanese_navy_logo.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lebanese_navy_logo.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 18:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Erika Ringor

Hello,

Recently you have removed / deleted photos of Erika Ringor. You stated that the photos where from taken from erikaringor.tripod.com, which in fact Erika Ringor created the tripod profile and page and uploaded her personal images that she owns. So if Erika owns the profile page and is the owner of her personal head shot photos can she post the photos on wiki? Are there any additional steps that need to be made?

She would like to attempt to add her photos again, will they be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LMA2007 (talkcontribs) 17:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When there is a debate about the licensing or release of an image, please take it to WP:PUI instead of just blanking the licensing. Thanks. Shell babelfish 00:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remark

The Hundred Days were not solely, nor even primarily, a military campaign. (Barely a third of it saw Napoleon with his armies in the field.) Given that, a 'campaign' infobox at the top seems misleading to me. Could we move it back to the section specifically about military maneuvers, where it would be additionally useful? Relata refero 17:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but the general idea behind these boxes is to stick them at the top! Feel free to move it back if you want. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 04:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In a recent edit to the page Need for Speed: ProStreet, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Thank you. --MrStalker talk 07:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any particular reason you removed the link? It's been there for as long as I can remember (and no, I didn't add the link myself and I have no clue who did). Trying to figure out why the sudden change after all these months (maybe years).

Generally, it was per WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided. Fan sites are all very well and good, but most of the time the information they hold is better off on Wikipedia! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 22:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bryn Mawr School

Could you please explain reverting the entry? I updated information that was incorrect, added other factual information, and provided references following what I believed was the appropriate procedure.

Thank you, Mare49 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mare49 (talkcontribs) 14:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, I saw tyou make this edit, which perplexed me somewhat. I've put it back in now! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 15:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, okay, I still don't understand why you removed updated information (2007 vs. 2005 which I provided references for), as well as any of the other edits that I made. I agree that the older information--which wasn't mine--needed to be fixed and I would've gotten to that as well. I'd like to improve the entry but I don't understand the objections that you have to what I'd done. The first edit that I made had some error in it that removed the entire reflist, so I merely took out the last thing that I'd added to it in the second edit and the reflist returned. As a small aside, since it's a school it's not usual to speak in terms of age but rather in grades when you talk about class offerings as ages vary within a grade.

Could you please let me know what you objected to in my edit so that I can work on the entry? I saw that it had been flagged for problems and wanted to clean it up.

Thank you, Mare49 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mare49 (talkcontribs) 13:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, my original revert of your edit was a mistake. However, notes about 'traditions' and sports teams etctend to turn the article into a list, rather than an article. I've also tried to tweak some of the article into international English; as parts of it - grades, for example, and words like 'varsity' or 'coed' are only used in the colonies, less so in Europe or the Commonwealth. I'm not at all sure exactly what they mean, so I haven't been able to translate them into English! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 00:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete valid template

Hi Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry. While I appreciate that you are keeping an eye out for vandalism and useless pages, I would like to point out that the smiley template {{):}} that you tagged for speedy deletion was created in good faith and for a useful purpose to wikipedia. The page was in fact, in the middle of a TfD discussion that was interrupted. That is was tagged as a "test page" and "patent nonsense" I consider a careless evaluation on your part. The template itself had a TfD template notice and accompanying discussion detailing its use. Moreover, my edit history reflects that I do not do edits carelessly nor for test purposes. I would just like to ask that for future edit actions you take greater care in assessing the pages you tag, as tools like Twinkle, for example, makes it really easy to automatically tag what could be good edits and pages as bad. I have also noticed that I am not the first to bring similar issues to your attention. Thank you for your time. --Stux 03:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I'll try to ignore your tone. You are obviously upset that "your" template was deleted. When I tagged the article for deletion, it didn't have any tags on it. The content was exactly as shown in the deletion log. I'll transcribe that for you below, just in case you can't access it:

04:02, 16 October 2007 John Reaves (Talk | contribs) deleted "Template:):" ‎ (content was: '{{db-nonsense}}Texas.<nowiki>== Spencer Smith == Spencer Smith is an American gangsta and professional playa. He was born May 7, 1991 (age 16) in Pl...')

I have no interest in the template as it was before, but I'd ask that in future you don't jump to conclusions about who edits carelessly. Perhaps you should check the deletion log in future before jumping to conclusions. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 04:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh! I see. That was not the original content of the page. I'm sorry that I had not noticed up to now that it seems the page had been vandalized (update: and several times after looking at the page history now that the template has been restored). The template had a smiley image (along with other wiki code) used so that the smiley image could be easily inserted in the talk page. The usefulness of this is what was discussed at the TfD. The fact that I am upset does not stem as much from it being a template I created, but that better research before taking action would have saved a lot of trouble. I am trying to keep my tone civil and cordial while carefully expressing my opinion. If I have sounded condescending I apologize, but I am trying to be clear in my point in hopes of preventing future disagreements. --Stux 04:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
