All comments welcome!

Have spent many, many hours on wikipedia, so ask me a question if you would like. I probably know the answer :-) (Cardsplayer4life 00:24, 7 May 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Image:Houstonnuttbiopic.jpg

Hey Cardsplayer4life . There is a lively debate about use of promo photos on wikipedia. My name is Jeff and I Do not support the interpretation of WP:FU as implemented by user's like User:Chowbok. They believe that Wikipedia should be free of all promotional photos that are "replaceable with an equivalent" (i.e. an amateur photo from flickr). Their rationale is being debated in many places, and take it a step further believing that all promo photos should be deleted and let someone else deal with finding and uploading a free alternative.

And many other places I've no doubt missed.

I and many others who support use of fair use promotional photos have not been successful in changing the actions of Chowbok and rampant deletion and changing of many hundred's of useful images from Wikipedia articles continues. One good example is the Jennifer Granholm article which had a great promo photo replaced by a terrible photo. I seek to raise the profile of this issue through challenging promotional photos on high profile article's like this one. I'm sorry, really I am, but fair use policy as implemented by Chowbok has left me with few viable options.

I invite you to join the battle for Promotional Photo usage on Wikipedia and the protection of Fair Use concepts. --Jeff 08:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Made me laugh.....

Your edit summary at pig: revert: that is not a pig related word. Joyous! | Talk 23:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "U of _" pages

Regarding this revert, I appreciate your desire to keep the formatting consistent of the various pages you are creating. In fact, I share it. That said, there's already a common format for all disambiguation pages at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). It'd probably be best to follow that format. I can help you change the pages to match it, if you can help me by following the style guide in the future. How's that sound?--Kchase T 08:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I was going to reply on your talk page, but I saw the instructions to reply here. (hopefully you have it on your watch list) That sounds good, though. I was just trying to go on the style that I saw in the first few "U of _" pages that I looked at to keep them consistent when creating all the other ones, but I should have been more careful I suppose. I started with looking at U of A which seemed fairly straightforward. (and whose basic format was there before I initially edited it) The bolding helps for when you have sub-universities (in the case of several universities in a university system). I do not know how you could recreate that effect with the way you are doing it, but feel free to change them however you want, as long as they stay consistent. As for me, it is past my bedtime right now, so I am off to sleep. Thanks! (Cardsplayer4life 08:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC))
You replied in the right place. I'm confused by the page you pointed me to, as well. Let me investigate further and get back to you. I may be wrong about the format for these particular disambig pages. Wouldn't be the first time! Thanks.--Kchase T 08:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
