[edit] Error

Thanks for taking the time to explain. No probem - happy editing. PJM 18:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You!

Congrats on finding that link for The Amityville Horror. I've been looking for some description of the actual trial for some time now and just wasn't able to find one. Guess I didn't look hard enough :) Gershwinrb 08:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Good job on the recent Amityville edits. The article finally reads like a respectable encyclopedia article. Two minor notes though: Generally separate articles are linked when they are first mentioned, and then entered as plain text if they are mentioned again, the exception being if there is a good amount of text separating the two. And its also best to abbreviate a name if its mention more than once; like if you say "Jay Anson," you don't have to keep referring to him as "Jay Anson" thoughout the rest of the paragraph. Its acceptable to shorten it just to "Anson." Other than that, super job. Gershwinrb 01:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barbie syndrome

An article you substantially contributed, Barbie syndrome, has been proposed for deletion. It's important that Wikipedia articles be verifiable, but the proposing editor found no independent use of the term. If you have such documentation, please add it to the article.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 23:55, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Piet Hein

Hi there, I've removed the section concerning Uri Geller that you added to Piet Hein. It doesnt seem relevant to Piet himself, although it could possibly be added to the Uri article. Thanks. --Quiddity 19:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nice add

I just noticed the 'quotes' link that you added in Robert Byrd. Nice touch! keep up the good work :) Doc Tropics 19:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Paignton reverts

Hi Ian really just agreeing with you over this. I've rv'd the page twice today and removed a link from the talk page too. I'm a newbie so not sure where to go next but why should an IP address NOT be blocked if cr*p is coming from it. Anyone who wants to use wiki in a sensible way can register, it ain't hard!

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Mcilwraith.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mcilwraith.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Not used anywhere either Nv8200p talk 16:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Colored pencils.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Colored pencils.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] Amityville Horror Films

Thank you for the comment about The Amityville Horror film series sequels. I think that if they are films they deserve to be here. Thanks again. --Charles-Joseph 08:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC) (moved from your user page. Kimchi.sg 00:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Image:Amityville main theme.ogg

Hello! The reason the sound file shows up as "orphaned" is due to a long-standing glitch in MediaWiki. If you link a file like this (a text link), it will not show up in the "file links" section of the description page, making it look orphaned:

[[:Image:Example.ogg]]

(See for yourself.) Only files that are linked inline like this: [[Image:Example.ogg]] (without the leading colon before "Image:") will cause the article to show up in the "file links" section.

To remedy this, add the {{notorphan|Article name}} template to each sound file you upload, since sound files are most often linked from text links. Regards, Kimchi.sg 00:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop

OK, really, stop telling people not to edit comments, and then edit my comments. What the fuck. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BonniePrinceCharlie (talk • contribs) 22:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Whoa, look at that! Someone edited my comment. Jerk! That's against the rules! Ask Ianmacm! BonniePrinceCharlie 23:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
