Hey can you add your opion on Kentucky's regional identity on kentucky's talk page. 74.128.200.135 03:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Hi, I got your message on my page (just a note, when you want to leave a message for another user it's best to do it on his or her talk page, like mine. Also if you type four tildes, (like this ~~~~) the Wikipedia software will substitute that with a link to your user page so it's easer to find you). Now for your question. I have taken a look at your contributions and see the problem you are having. This is happening because with every entry you make, the first line begins with several spaces. I have gone in to most of the pages you have edited and have fixed the formatting. I would suggest going into your user page (where the same thing has happened) and removing the spaces at the beginning of each of the lines. This should fix your issue. If you have any other questions or if you still are having problems, please do not hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. Cheers! --omtay38 00:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! The four squiggly things I'm talking about are called "tildes". If your using a QWERTY keyboard (and you probably are), the key is to the left of the one in the upper left hand corner (you have to press shift to use them). The four tildes is a shortcut that Wikipedians use to sign their names to talk pages. For example, when I type "~~~~" the Wikipedia software creates "omtay38 13:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)". It is courteous to type the four tildes at the end of messages on talk pages to allow other users to know who you are, when you wrote the message, and to give them a link to your user page. I would suggest checking out the Tutorial for more information on things like this. There are hundreds of these typing shortcuts that Wikipedians use to create things like links, bold words, and italics. As always, thank you so much for your questions on my talk page and please feel free to ask any other questions you might have. Happy Editing! --omtay38 13:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Tale of Two Cities is an awesome book!

Hint

Anytime you have a question, feel free to ask; but consider this hint: Compare article pages in normal viewing with the same article page in edit mode. And you can try things out in your own sandbox: User:SwedishConqueror/sandbox. (Note the color is different if it doesn't exist. Click it. Edit it. And it does exist. And changes color.)

United States Congressional Delegations

You ought not put colloquialisms like "this delegations is solidly Red" in an article. See how I've written it in the beginning summary of United States Congressional Delegations from Massachusetts. You ought not link "Red" and "Blue" to the articles about the colors, because the delegation is not literally blue or red. Maybe you should say "mostly Republican". And, why are you pipe-linking Red to sksk? —Markles

Are You a Civil War Buff?

Hi. My name is Harper32, and I've been off of Wikipedia for a while now! I had to take a break, but I think I'm truly addicted. Anyway, I saw your work on the Maryland infantry and was very interested. I love the Civil War, and wanted to know if you were also an enthusiast. If so, hopefully you could share some of your sources with me.

Also allow me to extent a welcome to Wikipedia, though based on your log it would appear you've been rather busy! Good articles.

Does that ponytail thing actually work? Sorry, I'm being facetious; I've never had a desire to grow one. It just takes too long. You said that you've been growing your ponytail for four years, which is a really long time, but someone could walk up to you right now, grab your ponytail, and cut it off in four seconds. All those years, and you'd just have a long ponytail, really just a mass of hair, lying on the floor. See what I mean? (I'm joking with you)

Anyway, keep up the good editing.

AfD

I have put the article Madsen family curse up for deletion because it is unreferenced, and seems to be unverifiable, simply based on a Google search. If you can provide sources, and more of a claim of importance, please include that in the article and comment on the afd page. Thanks, Mak (talk) 21:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, non-web sources are fine, as long as they are published. I do believe your article was written in good faith, but I don't believe it's appropriate for Wikipedia (although you could always change my mind!). I'm afraid that even if you can find information on the individual cases, the article would still be unverified, unless you find sources which talk about the curse as a curse. If this is a piece of your family history, remember that it may be more relevant to you and your family than to a wider audience, and that unfortunately oral histories are not considered reliable sources on Wikipedia. Cheers, Mak (talk) 21:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make sure there is no confusion, what you are adding right now is content, not sources. See WP:V for more information on what you need to add. Mak (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

White afro prodded

Hi there. In the midst of an AfD discussion, I encountered a White afro article that has been tagged for awhile and without any sources (there also seems to be a merge proposal as well). So I added to the tags and nominated it for deletion for all the reasons stated by the tags and on the AfD. If you don't think the article is worth the effort to improve it, it will go away in about five days; if the prod tag is removed without addressing the issues presented by the tags, the article will be brought to AfD shortly after the removal. Best wishes, B.Wind 19:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there,

Do you realize that Sierra Leone is a Republic? That it is ruled by a President named {{Ahmad Tejan Kabbah}}? That their are chiefdoms which are recognized and the chiefs have seats in the parliament, never a "queen". Perhaps you should read something on the Category:Government of Sierra Leone and consider if she is really "notable".--Thomas.macmillan 18:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Ponytail: Cut It

I understand that you are eighteen years old and have spent some years growing a seventeen-inch ponytail. I should like to remedy this situation immediately with a pair of scissors. This would be very easy and for your own good.

I could sit you on a chair in my kitchen, put a cape around your neck, and make short work of your ponytail. I would simply take it in my hand, apply the blades to the base, and begin cutting. It would take less than ten seconds, and would relieve you of a burden that you've been carrying, by your own admission, for over four years.

I only say this because you are constantly filling this Encyclopedia with boasts about how long your ponytail is, as if this were some spectacular accomplishment on your part. Any teenager can grow hair; you just happen to have done it for a very long time.

I am attempting to give you advice; it seems that you are one of those boys whose ego is directly proportional to the length of his hair. You see them around campus all the time, swinging their bangs around or blowing their hair out of their eyes, and they look like stuck up morons.

If you are in the DC area, I will cut off your ponytail for free. Seventeen inches is ridiculous and you know it. That hair you're so proud of could be shorn tomorrow. Maybe you should consider it.

Your Ponytail Again

Here we are, talking more about your precious ponytail. How much time are you going to spend on this? For everyone's good, let me cut the thing off. It'll grow back...when you're twenty-two.

Here, let me give you a preview: File:Whatimgoingtodotoyourponytail.jpeg

Re: Jehu Eyre

Hi, I don't know why it's being called a hoax; however, please don't spam me in the future. Thanks. 1ne 21:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jehu Eyre

The Eyres are certainly a fascinating bunch, there's no doubt about that. From very early on I was interested by the contrasts within the family's own ideology; they very firmly believed that they were set apart on the Earth, destined to perform some act of great good for humanity. One could argue that their role in the Revolution fulfilled this prediction (the crossing of the Delaware River was originally Jehu Eyre's idea, and it is not a far stretch to posit that if he hadn't come up with it the independence movement would have died before it ever stood on its own two feet), although any such statement is bound to be subjective.

Then, however, there is this opposing element of doom, the "tragic hero" syndrome that you so pertinently pointed out. Around the 1850's the Eyres started to die off in weird ways, and then their descendants finally lost everything in the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

That in and of itself is very unusual; Jehu Eyre was a colonel of the Philadelphia militia, a very high-ranking member of the Revolution. If you look at the families descended from men who occupied the type of social position he did, they are almost without exception wealthy and powerful even today. The blood relations of Revolutionary War officers govern this country, from the Bushes to the Adamses any other number of WASP dynasties that have held sway over the land.

In fact, the Eyres are likely the only major family to have fallen in the way that they did. John Adam's descendants, Richard Lee's descendants, these people are bank executives and politicians. The Eyres' descendants are the urban poor, with a few exceptions. It just doesn't make sense.

Then again, I sometimes like to think that all of this started in the Mojave...

Your Ponytail--Get Ready

Dude, I know who you are. You're in one of my classes and I see you all the time--with your ponytail hanging over the back of your desk. I was just testing to see how you would act with someone when you didn't think they could get back at you.

Just so you know, that ponytail is GONE. Enjoy that thing while you have it, swing it around all you want, but I will CUT IT OFF AND HAND IT TO YOU by the end of this school year.

No good can come from hubris. Your ponytail pays the price.

"You probably have some gay crew cut or something, but I have enough ponytail for two or three people." Yeah, not for long. I'm getting my scissors ready. It's time someone gave you a trim.

Acrusader 04:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)acrusader[reply]

Fine, you want proof, I'll give you proof. I know that all of your classes are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I know this because I have two courses with you. Last Wednesday you wore that huge ungoldy ponytail with five hairbands tied into it.

You explained to the professor that it was because it's "so long" and everybody laughed and you thought you were just amazingly funny. I imagined cutting each segment off one at a time and then throwing them into a trash can. You're definitely right about your ponytail being long--just a shame that you're gonna lose it.

Well, tata for now!

Notability of George Mason University College Democrats

A tag has been placed on George Mason University College Democrats, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Esrever 16:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no source information for the caption of this photo in the Maryland article: "Maryland receives very little sunlight in winter. In fact, Maryland is only at 39° north, and receives only slightly less sunlight in summer than it does in winter. Cities further north, like Boston, London, Seattle, or Toronto receive far less light in winter. If you have a link to some facts that support this, then put it back up, but you must cite the source.

You're right, I didn't have to delete the picture, and we can keep it if you want. But most state pages have a maximum of one picture depicting each season, and I thought the Statehouse picture was much more beautiful and appropriate for a winter picture.

And "common knowledge" is not something that Wikipedia considers appropriate for verification. There must be citation of sources for facts, even if it's juat another wikipedia article that provides the information. The moderators are not tolerant of "original research."

The Frostbelt-Sunbelt shift refers a demographic trend in the United States that began in the 1950s and accelerated in the 1980s whereby population has slowly migrated from the traditionally-dominant North to the previously rural and underdeveloped South.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Coolsouthernstates.gif or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of Hair Cuttery

The article Hair Cuttery has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:07, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File source problem with File:Highlowhall.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Highlowhall.jpeg. 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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --TheImaCow (talk) 07:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Swingstatesx.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Swingstatesx.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the 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 02:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
