[edit] AT&T logos

Hi, I'm the bastard that is replacing your AT&T image logos with PNG images. However, I'm trying to see your point of replacing the images such as the one with the new AT&T logo being vertical. I see that you recently replaced my Image:ATT-globe-1984-logo.png with your Image:Attglobe.gif. Is it because of the color tone of the globe? It probably is which is why I replaced ATT-globe-1984-logo.png's color tone to match with the Attglobe.gif. I hope I didn't cause an "edit war" with you on this specific article. :-P --J.

[edit] Cite sources

Hi - Thank you for your addition to BellSouth! Please cite your sources for the information you added. I realize that most articles on Wikipedia unfortunately do not have proper sources cited but we are trying to correct that! Thanks! -SCEhardT 04:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

No problem! I've made a comment at BellSouth reflecting this. -SCEhardT 04:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MLK

I'm not quite sure why you changed "African-American" to "black" in reference to Martin Luther King Jr., but it had the effect of linking to the color black, not to the racial designation. Also, don't forget to explain your edits in the edit summary box. Thanks, -Will Beback 23:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Not to worry. The edit summary box sits between the eidting box, where you type your edit, and the "save" button. Cheers, -Will Beback 05:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{SBC}} to {{AT&T}}

I moved {{SBC}} to {{AT&T}}, as the company name is AT&T. I left the SBC link as a redirect, but could you go back and clean up the current instances? Thanks :) Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 21:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Bellsouth building birmingham.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bellsouth building birmingham.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 13:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The source is solved but another issue is the license. From the evidence shown, David Massey is not the copyright holder of the image, Eric Paschal is. "Photo coutesy of Eric Paschal is too ambiguous." Who knows what Eric is willing to license. In order for this image to stay on Wikipedia, you need written communication from Eric that he allows this image to be released under public domain or another free license. That communication needs to be posted on the discussion page of the image (See Image:Zebra finch.jpg for an example). We get worked up about this because it is the law. -Nv8200p talk 20:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry but what he says makes no sense. "Since the image is on your site for educational purposes, I see no reason my picture can't be on your site." What does that mean? It sounds like he is giving permission for just Wikipedia to use. These type of images are not accetable to the site (See Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Free_licenses). He needs to understand and agree to "release the image into the public domain" or "license the images for free use." Thanks -Nv8200p talk 02:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AT&T

Please see my comments at Talk:AT&T. I may agree with you on the need to merge the two paragraphs, but I want to make sure that we agree on the reason first. -Harmil 20:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I just wanted to be sure. -Harmil 11:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William H. Swanson

Hi. Swanson is not Sprint, so we can't have an infobox for Sprint on the Raytheon exec's page. It's about him, not Sprint. Thanks. -- Perspective 21:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AT&T Page Split

Let me start by saying that I am not opposed to splitting the page, in fact, I am he one who did. But there is a problem: When I tried to move the page, i tried to move it to the name AT&T Inc., with the period. For some reason, the system would not let me, so I had to move it to AT&T Inc, no period. But then, you came, and, becuase it let you use the period (I don't know if you mved a page or what to make room) and you renamed it AT&T Inc. I don't know why, but now there is a problem with the AT&T Inc. talk page, and it seems to be because of that damn period. I wanted to let you know, because I can't figure out how to fix it, its really confusing. If you understood my message, you can figure out how to fix it.

Also, keep the Pre-2005 AT&T page name the same. I realize that the new and old AT&Ts both had slightly differnet names (Inc. and Corp.) but harldly anyone else does. This will confuse them. Keep it clear and simple, and keep the Pre-2005 name. aido2002 20:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. Though, the biggest problem is the talk page. If you did not see already, when you click on the discuss link it sends you to the wrong page, and then another... But also, using cut/paste is a good idea, but you may have to do the same with the history pages, for many reasons. (I've never tried copying and pasting a history page, but I think it is safe to assume it will work.) aido2002 23:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SBC Communications/ SBC (1984-2005)

First of all, the SBC page should be SBC (1984-2005), not SBC Communications,because while there was no other SBC, it should be written almost like an obituary: tell when this company started, when it ended. So, please do not move the SBC page again. But regardless of the title, from now on, please do not use copy/paste to move pages, use the "move" button at the top. This moves both the talk and the article, and still gives credit to the creator in the history. Thanks, aido2002 19:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject:Telecommunications

Hi. Since you have made many edits to AT&T and helped create the spinoff articles (AT&T Corp, SBC Comm.) I thought you might want to join the WikiProject I'm starting, which focuses on telecommunications. WP:Tel is a shrotcut link. Just wanted to let you know, hope you join! aido2002 23:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TV Affiliates by state

Thanks for creating these, but just a reminder, these go left to right by channel number. --CFIF (talk to me) 14:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New England Telephone

Check the Talk: New England Telephone page when you get a chance - I've made a suggestion about how to handle past/current names. - DavidWBrooks 12:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KYTV (TV) is utter crap

Look I work in the industry and there is no such thing as a (TV) suffix, however there is a -TV suffix. I can't tell you where I work, but you are wrong. TV Newser 19:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{Barker's Beauties}}

I went to that template page, and I thank you for that because I requested it after you created it and realize that it's already there. However, that page needs a lot of work because I can't do it alone and there were too many former models in the past, including well-known ones that started their modeling careers in the 1970s. Go to Barker's Beauties, {{The Price is Right}} and {{The Price is Right worldwide}}, take a look at their current versions, and then click "edit the page" in each pag; and then realize how much work it needs. Also, I added {{categorize}} because it needs one or more categories. --Gh87 05:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: I made some edits, but they're minor. So no worries. --Gh87 17:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
