[edit] Numberplates - response

Hi, thanks for your message. Numberplates.com is not a commercial site at all, which can be easily determined by spending thirty seconds on the site. It's the largest source of information on number plates on the internet, and therefore a relevant and important source. Acjs86 09:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vehicle registration plate

Why are informative reference links to this, and similar articles deleted? I've also added some information to these pages, but funnily enough they have been kept. The site links I added were informative, relevant websites. Hardly free speech. I shan't bother contributing to Wikipedia anymore as you've soured the experience for me.

[edit] Providence, Rhode Island - hurricane barrier

I saw your comment concerning the Providence hurricane barrier. I don't know when it was constructed, but I believe it was a result of the flooding due to the 1938 hurricane. If you wish, you could add such a notation within the article. In fact, if you know something about Providence, I would appreciate your help given that no one else is working on the article.

[edit] Star of Life

I enjoyed your commentary on the SOL page: "available on an ambulance near you" --Badger151 06:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Commons

I looked at some of the images at fire engine, and it seems that most of them are already tagged as {{GFDL}}, and were uploaded by Nick Precision. He seems to have been inactive for almost a year now (although he made a handful of edits in 2005), but as a courtesy, I would leave a note on his talk page telling him that you are moving them over to commons. Then, tag the images for deletion here, once it's already on commons.

I think it would a good idea to make an account on Commons with the same username as the one you have on Wikipedia, and as you said, download the images to your computer, and re-upload them. To be thorough, add a little note that it was originally uploaded to en: (which stands for English Wikipedia) and quote the original licensing info that was on Wikipedia. Just cut-and-paste the contents of the image description.

I am not sure what to do about images that have not been tagged correctly. Technically speaking, these should be marked as such. See Category:Images with unknown copyright status and Category:Images with unknown source for details.

You might also want to look at examples of what other users have done. Here's the upload log on commons: [1]

I hope this helps! :-) --HappyCamper 21:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

re:Missing from this article seems to be a discussion of the link between CO and heart disease. --Badger151 19:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

    • It'd surprise me if there were any relationship like this. If you know of one, research it and add it!

[edit] H-MICU and Fly-car

Hello,

it seems to be a little more complicated: :

  • "non-ambulance automobile": the H-MICU can be an ambulance or a simple car (I just noticed I forgot this point);
  • "fly-cars cost much less than ambulances": the H-MICU cost more than an ambulance
  • "they can be staffed by a single person": the H-MICU is always staffed by three persons
  • "A fly-car can be a resource conserver for an EMS agency": the aim is not to preserve ressources, but to bring adequate materials and people.

Some elements about H-MICUs:

  • the first ones were ambulances, with a physician, a nurse and an ambulance-man;
  • they are often called as reinforcement when there is already an ambulance; they thus evolved to simple cars with only the material and the three people, but there are still full ambulance H-MICUs;
  • a simple ambulance, or even an helicopter, which is reinforced by a medical staff becomes an H-MICU.

So the fly-car has some of the aspects of the H-MICU, but they are not equivalent.

Prompt reply was luck: I usually roam on fr:, so its more efficient to contact me there.
Bye cdang|write me 14:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the closest notion is fr:Véhicule radio-médicalisé (VRM), which can sometimes be a H-MICU, but also be teamed by a single MD (firefighter MD).

[edit] Re: Drive shaft

Hi, I have never redirected Drive Shaft (or DriveShaft, DriveSHAFT, etc.) to Charlie Pace, unless it was to fix up a broken link. If I had it my way, Drive Shaft would have its own page altogether!
About the minor edits, it's just a habit I got into, and I'm now trying to fight it off with a two handed plus three broad sword. Thanks for the reminder! --SilvaStorm

Hmm - someone else may have access to your account, then: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drive_shaft&direction=next&oldid=69185670, or I could be misunderstanding. But if you'd like the band to have its own page, why not start one for it? --Badger151 07:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I would, but the annoying buggers on here would probably delete it or redirect it! That's the way it goes on Wikipedia. --SilvaStorm

Well, there are a few rules we all have to abide by, but they're similar to those for writing a paper in high school or college: we have to avoid plagiarism, and we have to have substance to what we write. I see that another user noted that you used copied-and-pasted text from a school's website - doing so is typically copyright infringement, and can have legal repercussions, which is why it's not allowed. I also saw your page on Lost's Widmore Corporation, which merely mentioned that the corporation was mentioned on the show - if you tell us what the corporation does (are they an automobile assembly company? a law firm? an international shipping company?) and why they're important on Lost, that would be valuable - I, for one, don't know the answers to those questions. Check out the type of information provided at Hanso Foundation for more ideas. --Badger151 18:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe making the article a stub would provide incentive for people to come and add to the page. --SilvaStorm

It might. I expect that there are users who specifically look for stubs, so that sounds like a good idea. You could also put it in the Lost category. You know how to assign an article to the stub category? --Badger151 06:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, with this: {{stub}} . I'll get right on it. --SilvaStorm

Go for it! --Badger151 17:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfC

How do I get my RfC on the RfC talk pages, I am new and dont know about all the rules. thanks...--Caligvla 00:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

The simplest way to stick with one account might be to just abandon the unwanted account by no longer using it. Since many people frown on having more than one account, you may want to indicate that you used to use the now dormant account, and provide a link to it - that way no one can accuse you of trying to hide what's considered a sockpuppet account. To actually close out an account or merge two accounts would require an administrator.
For the RfC, it looks like you've completed step one succesfully, but you also will need to place a message on the appropriate RfC page - this is similar to posting a notice on a community bulliten board. If you go to WP:RFC and scroll down about half way, there is a list of categories - I'm guessing you'll want "History and Geography." To the right of each entry in the list you can click on "add entry" to add your request. Other editors follow these lists, and this is how you'll reach a broader audience.
In your request, you'll want to include a link to the appropriate section of the article's talk page, so other editors can find it easily. This is done by taking the article's name, adding a # sign, and then listing the section title. For instance, typing
[[Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Request comment on articles]]
will generate a link looking like this: Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Request comment on articles
and will take you to the RfC page, but instead of droping you at the top, it will drop you off at the "Request comment on articles" section. Hope this helps --Badger151 00:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Did I do it correctly? --Caligvla 00:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Almost - the list kind of goes backwards, with newer items on the top. This way, people looking for new entries don't have to scroll down. Also, try to present a more neutral description of the dispute. If you read the other enteries, you'll see that people typicaly try not to indicate which side of a conflict they support. You'll also want to make your link not just to the Armenia talk page, but to the appropriate section of the talkpage - where you announced that you're requesting the RfC. You'll need to use the # sign, as I described above.
Regarding your question on how to delet you duplicate account from your laptop, I really don't know without seeing the machine. When you're on your laptop, does the computer automatically log you into your Wikipedia account? --Badger151 01:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Talk: Armenia

Howdy! Your action was perfect - I was on my way to do the same thing when I saw that you had done it. Your interpretation of Talk page policy is awesome - the only things that really can be removed is blatant vandalism, and some other select cases. --Aguerriero (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for doing a nice summary, someone needs to keep things on track, how do you think this will end?--Hamparzoum 04:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I like your modest proposal, I think it's very fair to both sides. --Caligvla 03:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Milo Minderbinder

Hey there. As far as I know, a middle name or initial is never mentioned for Milo Minderbinder. On other sites, I generally use minderbinder as a username, or milo if that's not available. When I signed up, it wouldn't let me, so I added the H. Why H? Because it's the same middle initial as Jesus H. Christ. (by the way, it stands for Harold) Incidentally, in the years of using "minderbinder" as a username, I think you're the first person to ever recognize the origin. Most people just reply using "mindbender". --Milo H Minderbinder 17:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-10-18 Alexander the Great

You are receiving this notice because you have recently commented on Talk:Alexander the Great. You may be interested in the mediation case located here. It is my hope that mediation will help solve the debate, but you are welcome to participate or not participate as you choose. Cheers. --Keitei (talk) 19:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Laptop

Yeah thanks for asking, I deleted all my cookies and files in one of the setup options in Internet Explorer, that seemed to do the trick.--Caligvla 23:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I have moved Badger151/templates to User:Badger151/templates. -- RHaworth 00:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Armennia

Looks like we are getting close to a comprimise, you may want to check in on the issue here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Walton_monarchist89#Straw_poll-Armenia Cheers, --Caligvla 15:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
