[edit] Page Blanking
On 19-Jan, you blanked Mercenary for Justice. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I recognize that the previous content was a hoax, but in cases like this you should replace the entry or follow the deletion procedures. I've changed the article to a stub. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 16:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Userboxes
Hi. I've noticed that you're making use of political or religious userboxes on your user page. They can be a nifty way to share about one's personal preferences, but I realized, after a while, that they often detract from the real purpose of Wikipedia, that is, writing an encyclopedia. I'm inviting you to consider these words from Jimbo Wales, the site operator:
- I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same. This seems to me to be the best way to quickly and easily end the userbox wars.
- Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project. They are attractive to the wrong kinds of people, and they give visitors the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.
- I think rather than us having to go through a mass deletion (which is what is likely to happen if the userbox fad doesn't go away), it will be better to simply change the culture, one person at a time. Will you help me?
Thank you for your time. {{User:Vacuum/sig}} 02:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] anti pope
Hi.
You might be aware that there has been some contention around the use of userboxes. There has also been a new speedy deletion criterion added with regard to templates.
A box you are using, Template:User Antipope was recently tagged as such. I've removed the tag, but would ask that you {{subst:}} the template. You may also wish to contribute to Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes if you are not already.

[edit] License tagging for Image:OtterbeinCampus.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:OtterbeinCampus.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:
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. 21:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I am looking for
someone in Youngstown, Ohio to help me out with a couple of projects. It will involve the use of a camera and a tripod. If you are interested in discussing this please drop me a line. Carptrash 15:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. There are, inside the Mahoning County Courthouse a series of murals by Edwin Blashfield that depict Lady Justice in various times and places in history. "Remote Antiquity, Classical Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Modern Times. The form used is called a pendentive - or rather is painted on the pendentive [whatever]. Here is a picture that i took, but mine were all taken without a tripod and i am trusting that you can do better with one. These can be used in the Blashfield article, which seriously needs a photo gallery and i'd like to use them in a section i'm working on for Lady Justice on how she is portrayed in American Art. Also, there is on the roof the sculpture pictured to the right. One of the figures is labeled JVS, which could stand for Justice. That's the good news. The . . ..... other news is i'd like for someone to talk to the building folks and get permission and then get up on the roof [the custodian will have keys, but won't be able to give you permission] and look at the work and see if he/she can find a signature on the work. I need to know who made it. I'm working on the definitive article on J. Massey Rhind and suspect that he did it, but need proof. Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind.

[edit] Taichung City
I am new on WikiProject Cities. I have added considerable content to the first city I am working on, which happens to be the city of my residence, Taichung City. Would you mind taking a few minutes to look it over and leave comments on how you think I can make it better to bring it up to WikiProject Cities standards in a section of the discussion page for the city’s article page that I have set up.
Thank you. Ludahai 03:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Youngstown
Hey Blue80, I started WikiProject Youngstown and I invite you to join me. I felt it would be a good way to create a system to organize articles relating to Youngstown. Thanks!--Daysleeper47 17:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Otterbein College
Hello, I noticed that you posted the Otterbein College logo. I have had something of an edit war with someone supposedly representing Otterbein this morning and they have asked how we got their logo. If you could reply on User talk:Jennyhill explaining it, that would be great.--Thomas.macmillan 15:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
