There, fixed it. Thank you for the notice, mister robot! :) --Ben Tibbetts 00:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cold Mountain

Could you please explain why we need two copies of the same article? --Hetar 02:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I merely changed the articles for Cold Mountain around by adding an article for the novel and a disambig page for both. I didn't know how else to do it, but I think I got the job done... Sorry if I've made a mistake, I'm new at this sorta stuff. --Ben Tibbetts 02:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Generally speaking we try to avoid disambiguation pages, as they simply create more loops for users to hop through. Most users who search for this, will probably be looking for the film, so it would make more sense just to put a simpe disambiguation sentence at the front of that article. In fact, there is a whole project dedicated to removing links to disambiguation pages at WP:DPL. While you created a page for the Cold Mountain (novel), and the Cold Mountain (film), you have now left Cold Mountain floating in lost space. I will fix this. --Hetar 02:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem, happy editing :) --Hetar 02:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Tedsannella.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tedsannella.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

(grumbles) Yeah yeah yeah, I'll get right on it. :) Ben Tibbetts 03:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent additions

Some of your recent additions are a little thin on the ground and need expanding. You might want to do a little more research and beef them up before you post anymore new content --Tmorton166 23:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Apologies I didn't mean it offensively. Yes creating the stubs is great but if they are stubs it is a good idea to put the stub tag on them when you post so that people konw they are incomplete. That is what I meant to say yesterday but I was tired and ended up picking up 2 of your pages in a row to add stub tags so I ranted a bit ;) I do apologise :D -- Tmorton166 (Errant Emote)  ^talk 23:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Witold Rudzinski

The temp page is fine. Info can't be directly copied, it has to be summarized and then sourced. Thank you for the note. --MZMcBride 01:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fred Hopkins

All your stub said was, "Fred Hopkins (1947-1999) was a double bassist". There was no attempt at establishing his notability. The current stub is fine. User:Zoe|^(talk) 17:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] G'day/Strahan Airport/Geography

OOps small edit here: If you are english "good evening", north american (either variety) "G'day", or any of the other lesser english speaking locations.. "bonza day eh chaps!", and if you are indeed a non english native speaker (???) "g'day Ime a monolingual ozzie, what are ya?"

Greetings from somewhere else than strahan airport (arrgh what a bloody cold and windy place it can be too at this time of the year) - I can see your objection to the geography stub if it was in actual fact "geographical feature" in one topographical sense (in which case it should be identified as such? yes?) however if we are cartographic about it - that is looking for features that are of regional importance in transportation/economic/social sense (which my university level geography insisted was what such feature would be due to its importance to strahan and hinterland) then there is no case against it. try google earth (and what a lousy level of detail we get on the west coast unless we are 10km or above!) and it is a feature cartographically/logistically, but if you're getting your bum frozen by the salt spray from ocean beach just west - you wouldnt even know if was there and probably wouldnt care anyway? Logistically the airport can mean life or death to locals where medical facilities on the west coast are insufficient, and notability or topographical importance to a damaged timber worker or fisherman is totally irrelevent - its there, and thats what counts! SatuSuro 01:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Apologies. Re-iteration. It is a vital link to the outside world for locals in emergency. It is not a topgraphical feature, as it is part of the area behind the ocean beach sand dunes and doesnt show up from a perspective of someone walking /driving around the area. It is a transport feature - which in some forms of academic geography is a vital element in the landscape, it features on maps and satellite photos, and it is one of the very few on the west coast. I think it deserves a geo stub even if its meant to be a topo feature onlySatuSuro 01:10, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Please explain: the need to re post a message to an editor talk to the art talk? anyreason? SatuSuro 06:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Gawd, some would go like the adfmin wars and bomb ya for recycling their comments without asking first! Geeze if everyone was as verbose as self, poor old jimbo and his good mate brandt would see the whole kaboodle damn thing go up in smoke for sure... oh well god (Bless her furry socks) will no doubt smile on you for your hard work. keep at it! SatuSuro 11:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ahic

I recreated the article under the belief that it has value for inclusion in Wikipedia. As you deleted it I was expanding it somewhat. It's brand new, which explains its single-editor status as of yet. Ben Tibbetts 20:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I see that someone has suggested that it be merged with List of Internet slang. I think that this would be a suitable compromise between losing the definition and keeping it and thousands of others as discrete articles. The age of the article and the number of editors is not in consideration in terms of Wikipedia not being a dictionary.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  20:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the merge. Sounds good, thank you. Ben Tibbetts 20:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Diedrichbader.jpg

Thanks! I've included it in Diedrich Bader. -Liqker

[edit] Pjbmp2avi

The problem is, the program wasn't remotely notable. This isn't freshmeat; it's not a place to list every program that has ever existed. You have to establish notability, and the stub that I deleted made no attempt whatsoever. --Golbez 18:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dear Little Pony

Hey man, why did you view this as an ad? It was just explaining what DLP is. If you have suggestions for how to re-write it, I'm open to them. Otherwise, I don't see the issue.

[edit] Cleanup

My talk page doesn't need cleanup, thankyou!! --pfctdayelise (translate?) 03:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Diedrichbader.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Diedrichbader.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Basketball ball.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Basketball ball.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 15:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Home cartoon.jpg listed for deletion

[edit] Windsor Memorial Baptist Church

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Windsor Memorial Baptist Church, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Windsor Memorial Baptist Church. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Image:AHD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AHD.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 16:05, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
