[edit] I Want You poster
Hello Flcelloguy,
I noticed that you put up the jpg of The Flagg "I Want You" Uncle Sam poster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Unclesamwantyou.jpg). I would like to use this image to recruit volunteers for my daughter's school. I was wondering if you had an even higher-res image lying around, and if I could arrange to get a copy from you.
Please let me know if you can help
Thanks!

[edit] Image:Pedicure.jpg
Hi Flcelloguy. I believe the licensing for the image is indeed GFDL. The image was posted on the website of a massage and spa shop and the site did not say "all copyrights reserved." QuizQuick 00:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article assessment milestone
Hi, I checked the current Signpost this week and was very surprised that you hadn't mentioned the fact that we had reached 100,000 assessed articles on English Wikipedia. I posted a comment on the Tip Line in case you weren't aware of it. Was this just an oversight, or were there particular reasons for omitting it? I was thinking that with Jimbo recently stressing quality over quantity, this amazing milestone deserved a mention. It also represents an enormous amount of work by hundreds or thousands of people, with each non-Stub assessment taking several minutes. I had been tempted to let you know about earlier milestones, but decided to hold off until we reached the big 100k to maximise the impact! Thanks for your time, Walkerma 03:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AWB
Hello! I'm trying to use the AutoWikiBrowser and it seems I need to be approved by an administrator.. and I see that you've recently made edits! So hopefully you're online, and if so, would you mind putting me on the "allowed list" or whathaveyou? anyhow, if you need to know what I'm going to do with it, I'm (at least right now) going to use it to add boilerplates to WikiProject Dallas articles. When I can't find anything else to do I'll probably look for common misspellings or something.. anyway, thanks. drumguy8800 C T 16:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eisenhower and the 1953 Iran coup which installed the Shah
I saw that you deleted a section someone had inserted about the 1953 overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh. In the 1970's I do not recall this as being a disputed historical fact. The section which was deleted may have been POV and lacking verifiable documentation, but do you object to a couple of NPOV paragraphs acknowledging that it happened on Ike's' watch? The article on the Iran Hostage Crisis says "In 1953, emerging democracy led to the election of reformist Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh; under Operation Ajax, the CIA helped the Shah and conservative elements in Iran remove Mossadegh in what was widely seen as a coup d'état. Those opposed to the Shah, because he did not grant them freedoms and reforms he promised in the early 1960s, greatly resented this action by the Americans. Moreover, the Shah and his elite supporters were seen as enriching themselves and living an opulent Western lifestyle; this particularly bothered religious conservatives. The social and religious opposition combined to topple the Shah's regime in the Iranian revolution, and the Shah fled the country in January 1979." In the Ike article it would be good to bring in references to any input Ike had to the decision, from biographies of him. Sound ok?Edison 03:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Dan Savage interview link
We are going to have to disagree on this one. I take away a completely different experience from you on what Wikipedia considers an appropriate link. I believe strongly it is a significant addition, and I find your labeling of a nationally syndicated columnist "non-notable" subjective. I must express I fail to see how deletion is not POV. I read and listened to the Savage interview. I find the information regarding the Santorun campaign funding Green party candidates (implication being to funnel away votes from left-center) significnt, and extremely worrisome. Sorry to meet under these circumstances. My best, Jim CApitol3 22:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Sweety, because you find something inappropriate, inconveninet, or unimportant, doesn't make it so. Thanks! CApitol3 23:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Ficelloguy, it is fine that we experience the same thing differently. I do not question your character, you sound like a really fine and very interesting human. I love Copland, and have been learning more about The Tender Land lately. As I said on the Santorum talk page, we are not going to agree on this. Could I be wrong on my observation of POV? Possibly. But let's give this a break and revisit it later, or not revisit it. And, please accept my apologies for mocking your very friendly (and polite) signature. In my frustration it seemed prepackaged and smarmy, and I realize now given the amount of typing/coding it makes perfect sense that it should be formatted. Cold here in Boston today, but sunny and clear, a nice opportunity for a bike ride. I hope you have a pleasant afternoon. Jim CApitol3 16:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page cleanup on Meta
Hello Flcelloguy, how are you? I have just joined Meta today. So it is about Meta:Proposals for new projects page, where many users complained that its a total mess. I have an idea to make the page like WP:FA, that each project is placed in a different page. Then we can put templates on the main proposal page. How about that? I will do it real soon.

Today I noticed that links to TVRage.com were removed from my articles in the Russian section of Wikipedia. My investigation ended up here. May I wonder, what the reason for marking an informative non-commercial project as spam was? Ambidexter 17:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

MatthewFenton, the requester of this blacklisting has a vendetta against Lostpedia after being banned from the site. His request is not made in good faith. The link to lostpedia.com is not currently on the Lost (T.V. Series) page, and is being discussed on the article's discussion page. This is an editorial disagreement, not spam.

[edit] ArbCom series
I'm thinking about this year's ArbCom series- If you're interested in handling this year's series, that'd be great (though of course I don't expect you to handle it, and if you're not interested, that's fine as well). However, I would like your input- how do you think we should handle it this year? We're already 5-6 weeks behind last year's calendar (though nothing's happening with the elections yet- nobody's even registered as a candidate so far). Basically I'm asking you, whether you choose to do the series this year or not, to help me draw up the calendar (I've started here, but it's very tentative right now...)
We essentially have from now through November 27th issue to discuss the election- the way it runs, the way ArbCom runs, etc. December 4th, voting starts, running through December 17th. The December 18th issue will be a wrapup, and if Jimbo acts quickly, a results issue (if not, we'll do a "breaking news" article like I did when Kelly Martin and Kat Walsh were appointed in October 2005, with you or I writing it right away). I've merged some of the articles where we probably could, for lack of time, combine things (about ArbCom and History of ArbCom).
Thoughts, opinions, etc.? Ral315 (talk) 20:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- A good point. Think it over, and if you do decide to run, let me know and I'll take care of the series. Ral315 (talk) 01:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- And an additional thought- perhaps we should do "notable cases" in the last year; the wheel warring and userbox fiascoes come to mind. Ral315 (talk) 02:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your reply
I really appreciate your explanation for the removal of my link from the Xiangqi page. I would like to ask a question about a related site: the Wikipedia Shogi Page. On this page, there is an External Links section with a sub-section entitled Equipment. The sub-section clearly states:
This article or section may contain external links added only to promote a website, product, or service – otherwise known as spam.
There are already two commercial shogi equipment sites listed in this sub-section, but when I posted my link, it was removed twice. The administrator who removed it is unavailable to ask for clarification because he/she is on a Wikibreak.
Is my understanding that it is acceptable to place a commercial link in this subsection incorrect? If not, what is my recourse?
Thank you, ElephantChess 06:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)ElephantChess
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
The article Frederick Douglass has recently been chopped due to CV. It needs quite a bit of addition on this significant American. (Some of the data exists in previous versions if rewritten and it has extensive source data). Please look at it and accept, reject or let me know and I'll reassign it. I added it to [[your desk as history. Thank you. RJFJR 17:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] follow up
Thanks for the explanation about links from the shogi page. The two links from the Equipment sub-section are also commercial sites, so I assumed that my commercial site would also be acceptable. Do these two sites contribute significantly to the article?

ElephantChess 02:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)ElephantChess
Re: External links Hello! The template that you cited on shogi is actually intended to convey the opposite meaning, although I can understand where the template can easily be misinterpreted. Instead of saying that the section allows such external links, it instead informs readers that the section may already have such links and requires cleanup to remove any excess and inappropriate links used for spamming. I've reworded the template slightly to make that clearer, which will hopefully solve the problem. Again, though, as a general rule of thumb, links need to contribute significantly to articles in order to be added, and the inclusion of links for commercial purposes is heavily frowned upon, even considered spamming. I hope I've made that clear and answered your questions; if not, please don't hesitate to ask for clarifications or any further questions. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ArbCom questions
Hi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're doing a series on ArbCom candidates, and your response is requested.
- What positions do you hold (adminship, mediation, etc.)?
- Why are you running for the Arbitration Committee?
- Have you been involved in any arbitration cases? In what capacity?
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 (talk) 01:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Urgent
Sorry boss, if you cannot do it quickly, please pass it to somebody who can I am trying to do excerpts from the latest Signpost and have no idea what e-Primers are. Unfortunatly if you use a jargon, you have to explain the meaning to those who are not initiated. However, I can always leave it out, if you prefer that. Please, and all the best, LouisBB 20:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the quick answer. I guessed that the meaning was what you just said, but as you capitalised the P I was not sure. The translation is going out now. Thanks again

[edit] RfM problem
Hi, FIcelloguy. I've recently filed an RfM at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television). I thought there had been a consensus to pursue formal mediation at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television), but I was apparently premature in posting the RfM — some of the participants are objecting to the way some of the questions have been framed (as well as other details), and are editing the RfM page. Is there a way to salvage this situation so that we can still pursue formal mediation? Can we work out the wording and start over again? I know that you and the other MedCom members are busy, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, FIcelloguy. The RfM page has been locked, on ^demon's recommendation, and we're trying to work things out on the RfM's talk page. Once we reach a consensus, I presume we'll ask for the page to be unprotected (as an administrator, I could do it, but I think it would be better if someone uninvolved did it). Then... what? Since you say that there's no official wording for the list of issues, does that mean that it doesn't matter how the issues are worded? Or should we change it to a better version if we can come up with one? If we change it, do we need to ask all the participants to sign their agreement again? I suppose I'm just a bit lost. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Much thanks for your support at RFA
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind.

[edit] Portfolio for ArbCom
On Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Summary table, I added a column "Examples" with links that exhibit a candidate's arbitration skills. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well.
So far I have entered examples for the candidates who registered first, and I'm not sure if and when I will get to yours, so you may want to enter an example or two yourself. — Sebastian (talk) 23:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nobs02's request for undeletion
Hi, I'm nobs' AMa advocate on his request for appeal. I understand you would undelete the pages iff you had some more details. The idea is the following: in the arbitration after your mediation, arbCom simply ignored the evidence of it (then User:Fred Bauder recognized it was a mistake). What we need are some diffs that prove nobs' good faith at that stage (he says there is such evidence, I believe him) in resolving the dispute in order to reach our pettion of change his conditional ban into a mentorship. I know it is a difficult thing to do and you're right on asking on more information before doing it... If this wasn't enough, maybe you'd like to take a look on Wikipedia talk:AMA Requests for Assistance/Requests/November 2006/Nobs02.

[edit] Some Input
We recently had a nom for MedCom from Cuke monster. Upon fairly quickly getting a 2 oppose due to lack of experience (from yourself and I), he blanked the nom (and a second time, after AntiVandalBot reverted his blanking). I restored the nom to it's proper rejected form and moved it to the archives, as we usually do. I left him a note on his talkpage, letting him know I undid his blanking and archived it. However, this evening I logged in to find that he wishes to keep it blanked and no record of it exist. He left me a note telling me this. I know we archive old noms, but he clearly doesn't want to be counted amongst them. Could I get your opinion on this? It's kinda an odd situation.
