RE: Wikimedia cloak

No, your cloak is tied to NickServ - as long as you identify from the client you're using, you'll be cloaked. Hope this answers your question :) —Xyrael / 17:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

About fair use

Hi, again! I heard somewhere that you are the Wikipedia lawyer. I apologize if your not, but I have a question regarding fair use on images, and since you're a retired lawyer, who else could be better suited for answering it??!! Anyway, there was an issue that came up after a user added an external link to a cheating site on RuneScape. During a discussion here, the idea came up that Jagex, the developer of RuneScape, has every right to order us to remove the screenshots on RuneScape, since they're fair use. Is this true? If so, would it be in our interest to keep the article free of content that might indirectly cause Jagex to become unhappy? Thanks.--Ed ¿Cómo estás?Reviews? 03:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not in any way the Wikipedia lawyer; however User:BradPatrick actually is. 05:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred Bauder (talkcontribs)

helpme

{helpme} I have a question regarding honorific titles, such as "His Excellency". Would it be redundant or unnecessary to put these titles on List of delegates to the Millennium Summit? Personally, I think that since the list is entirely consisting of world leaders, these titles should be dropped. On the other hand, that is how these people are referred to in the United Nations.--Ed ¿Cómo estás?Reviews? 03:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)I'

If there was Wikipedia guideline about this, you might find it at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. But I think it would be ok to try and establish consensus on the article's talk page (Talk:List of delegates to the Millennium Summit), if no one objects to your proposal there then you can implement it. You might also drop a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United Nations to get ideas from more people.--Commander Keane 03:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

hi

Little Jimmy Urine

Hi Ed, I hope you don't mind me asking a question. You welcomed me to wikipedia and I couldn't think of anyone else to ask. I placed a prod on Little Jimmy Urine and someone removed it saying I should take it to Afd. I'm not too sure whether I should or not. Do you think the article passes WP:BIO under musicians? Thanks Kneale 00:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Well...

No, I just came back temporarily because of the Trolley Square shooting. Technically, I was still retired :( Oh, also, I've retired RuneScape too, so the internet is boring (which is what I hoped would happen). Anyway, how did the local news in Chicago (like WGN) react to the above-mentioned shooting? What did they actually say? I'm curious because I'm interested in how the rest of the country reacted. Regards,   •The RSJ•   Talk | Sign Here 02:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Ugh, see what the I.P. starting with "72.something..." said about Muslims (on the Trolley Square shooting talk page. This is really getting out of hand :(   •The RSJ•   Talk | Sign Here 02:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh sorry. It was on the Sulejman Talovic talk page. Regards,   •The RSJ•   Talk | Sign Here 02:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Before I go...

Check the Croatian Montenegro article out. It has a whole lot of tags on it. I dunno, just thought you might have wanted to see it. Regards,   •The RSJ•   Talk | Sign Here 03:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you and Dev920 have been reverting each other on the above page for some time now; I've protected the page now to stop the edit war before it gets any worse. Please consider discussing this issue with each other and also examining both the trivialness (it's a description of a deleted program) and the irony (revert-warring over a program that was designed to stop this sort of thing) of the reverting, and let me know when you two have sorted out your differences so that the page can be unprotected. Thanks. Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your message, but I am not going to get involved in this dispute by trying to judge which version is right and which version is wrong. I simply noticed an edit war occuring and decided to protect the page before the reverting continued any further. Please continue to discuss this with each other (although I ask that you do not discuss on my talk page, as it really isn't the right page for this) and request unprotection when you two have reached an agreement or have agreed to stop the reverting. Thank you. Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
