Welcome, 24fan24!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

[edit] Let The Eagle Fly

Let The Eagle Fly is a musical, not an 'album'. Your changes have been removed and the correct categories applied. Please check articles more carefully in the future before submitting edits.

Don't be sorry, just giving a heads up ;)

[edit] Morituri te salutant

Well, I added the article because I came across it and found the meaning.

I am not knowledgeable on latin phrases, but this one seems to have some relevance if you troll the web for it. And the whole purpose of wikipedia is to add something and then let it grow. I assume someone will come along in time and add more meaning to this article. I think it is unfair to mark an article for deletion right after it has been added to wikipedia. If you are an authority on latin phrases and do not think that this item should not have its own article, so be it.

The phrase itself is of has some history to it according to the following explanation. http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/games/qt/morituritesalut.htm

I will add the phrase to the latin phrases article on wikipedia anyways.

So, I will leave it to you to leave it here or remove it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gnikhil (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Please support

Hi. I'm wondering if you could lend support to a proposal for a Stub-sorting Barnstar. The page is here. Have a good day :) SynergeticMaggot 17:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, please excuse the wording. I do not mean to ask for a vote, just that you participate. SynergeticMaggot 18:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Merrick

Hi there! I believe we have a slight misunderstanding concerning my edit to Joseph Merrick. I wasn't testing or vandalising; rather, I was working to revert what has become a common act of vandalism to that page. The number of people with Joseph Merrick's condition has not tripled since his death; this is part of an in-joke that originated on The Colbert Report. The other editors of Joseph Merrick and I have been working hard to try and keep this joke from staying on the page: you can read more about it on talk: Joseph Merrick.

All the same, thank you for fighting what, I'll admit, looked like vandalism :) Have a great day! Skybright Daye 18:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry --24fan24 18:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem :) I'd rather have something reverted mistakenly than let vandalism go unchecked! Skybright Daye 18:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Patroling

Dear 24Fan24

What tag would you recomend for new articles that looks like a comercial? eg. B&H Photo Video, the article is created 02:11, 14 August 2006 by User:58lm.

regards Mads Angelbo 01:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Totten

Just as a heads up, I speedy tagged the article as a bio. Clocked.in, the creator, blanked it. Under the CSD guidelines, that means you can place db-author as the new template without contest :) Thanks for the help on the article! Teke 02:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense, I'll be sure to do that in the future. --24fan24 03:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:24.123.19.166 vandalizes again

24.123.19.166 (talk • contribs) vandalized Juan Ponce de León and Talk:Vasco da Gama today. As I'm not an admin, and you posted the last warning, I though I'd pass this on to you. -- Donald Albury 14:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're not singing anymore

As I didn't vandalise it, I'm going to check it, and if anything I put was reverted I shall put it back. Dave 01:26, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that when I saw "anymore" changed to "aaaaaannnnnnnyyyyyymmmmmore" [1] it appeared as vandalism to me. I guess I did not check the article closely enough. I would have been glad to remove the warning from your talk page but it appears that you have already done so. In the future please do not remove these warnings your self, even if you feel they are unjust. Many editors consider removing one's own warnings to be a form of vandalism. --24fan24 01:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School

Thanks for keeping an eye out for vandalism of the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School article. I've just reverted more vandalism, coming from the same unregistered user. I'll keep watching it and let you know if it happens again. Thanks again, Lincolnite 23:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know and thanks for finding and reverting the vandalism :) --24fan24 23:39, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] April Wine Image

cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the album or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers is ok —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucifers hammer (talk • contribs) .

This is acceptable however, it is necessary to provide a detailed fair use rationale on the image page. Thanks for your help. --24fan24 03:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
looking at some of you edits
need to slow down a bit give people some time to post all that is need some time what people upload may not have the right info give then time to fix the mistake.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucifers hammer (talk • contribs) .
The fair use rationale as well as the copyright tags are meant to be added at the same time images are uploaded. This is why I add notices to images immediately after finding that they are absent. The deletion tags I have added grant the uploader one week to fix the mistake and I think this is ample time for someone to fix a mistake. The addition of these tags and the notices on the talk page are important because otherwise users may not realize that they have made a mistake at all. --24fan24 04:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Good point!! your right my mistake sorry  :-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucifers hammer (talk • contribs) .
No worries. --24fan24 04:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually it appears that I applied the wrong tag to the image in question. This image would only qualify for speedy deletion after 7 days from its upload, the proper tag would have been {{subst:nrd}}. I will correct the image page. --24fan24 04:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

The user vandalizing the Ina Garten page, vandalized the Ethiopia page, and you mentioned blocking him for further vandalism, I have no power to do so, and though you might want to reinforce it. Thank you. Shy1520 00:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I actually am not an administrator either. However, non-admins can request "administrator intervention" (e.g. blocking of vandals) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I have already added 137.207.238.105 (talk • contribs) to the above mentioned page. --24fan24 01:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
