[edit] Template:welcomespam
Howdy and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you edited the Template:welcomespam message. I think you were trying to get the template to add a signature automatically, unfortunately, all it did was add your own signature. I have reverted the change you made. I think it is possible to get templates to automatically add a signature, however it is not commonly done (the only one I know of is {{idw-pui}}). Let me know if I mis-interperted your intention, or if I can help with anything. --TeaDrinker 22:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding and fixing my mistake on Template:welcomespam! I was actually trying to use the template, but accidently edited it by mistake :) --Bill.matthews 00:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, glad to have you around! --TeaDrinker 01:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You exist?
The reason I asked is because one of my edits was attributed to you by some random glitch, or maybe you just made an edit immediately after me.
- Last time I checked :) --Bill.matthews 12:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
== O&A Link Spam ==--Bill.matthews 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC) I'm not the first one to revert a link to WowFans. I was just doing what I thought was called for as many other Wikipedia editors have done.--XMBRIAN 19:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. --Bill.matthews 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Applied media technologies corp article
All the information on the AMTC page is readily available from their website - how much more sourced do you need it to be?
- Just take a look at Wikipedia:Citing_sources. If the content is on the website it should be easy to do, but you generally want to cite sources not from the website itself. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources. Also, when you add content to a talk page, you should generally sign your comment. Thanks... --Bill.matthews 19:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I also fail to see where the content is non-neutral. It's no more slanted than articles for major companies like SIRIUS Satellite Radio or Ford. If there's some particular content that offends, let me know and I will try to reword it rather than have the "This article is a big fat liar" badge that you slapped on top of it.

- Please don't take that as an attack. The article will be improved, and the encylopedia will be better off! --Bill.matthews 20:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Then let's improve it. Given that in 15 years no one has made an article about AMTC, I dread to think how long your scarlet letter will remain on the page before some other WikiActivist changes it. Don't just say, "it's wrong", tell me what's wrong, and let's fix it. As you can tell by my contribution history, I'm new at this. So give me a hand, rather than a hammer. Additionally, your blocking my ability to see your changes doesn't help matters much.
[edit] Image:BGionta.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BGionta.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
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. --Khatru2 04:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
