[edit] License tagging for Image:Rogue-wave,1.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rogue-wave,1.jpeg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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.

[edit] Farris Rahall
A tag has been placed on Farris Rahall , requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Farris Rahall is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Farris Rahall . Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}}
to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. - Peripitus (Talk) 03:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] unblock requests
{{unblock}} Hi, according to your block log you are not blocked - is the above an error or did you get a block message? If you got the message then you've been autoblocked and you need to follow the instructions on the page you get when trying to edit- Peripitus (Talk) 10:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- We can't unblock you at this time, because you haven't given us the information we need to even look into your block. You yourself were not blocked; if you were prevented from editing, you must have been autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. I'm removing your unblock request because there's nothing we can do without this information. If you still want to be unblocked, feel free to add the {{unblock}} tag back to this page, and be sure to include the message you saw when you tried to edit, including the IP address. This is what the message looks like. Without that information, we can't help you. Mangojuicetalk 14:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
in the Claremont article Your IP address, which is 205.188.116.7 The name of the blocking admin, which is ChrisO The reason you were blocked, which is: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "WILLIAM DAKOTA". The reason given for WILLIAM DAKOTA's block is: "Blocked for repeatedly adding defamatory content".
- autoblocks removed. --pgk(talk) 06:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
{{unblock}} in X-Treme X-men article discussion page Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Woohookitty for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "YaR GnitS Y". The reason given for YaR GnitS Y's block is: "sock of YaR GnitS". Your IP address is 205.188.116.131.
- Ross, it may not have been entirely clear to you, but Pgk removed the autoblock (which was responsible for the unintentional block of your account) two days ago. Things should be fine now. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 04:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for that curt reply. Really makes one feel welcome, especially since I like requesting unblocks for the heck of it. While the first block might have gone away two days ago, a new block has just gone away 2 minutes ago. Again thank you (I'll try to have things be more clear to me in the future, like Wiki's policy on rude behavior) (RossF18 04:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC))
[edit] X-Treme X-Men
Great work on this article today! --Chris Griswold 04:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stetson University Law School
I have rolled back a suspicious anon edit. Could you please check and see which version is correct? Thanks, User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 14:21, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, your roll back is correct. It should read "2006", not "2007". Thank you for your vigilance. (RossF18 03:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC))
[edit] List of Registered Historic Places in Florida
Hi. I've been working on the List of Registered Historic Places in Florida, whittling down the red links. Thanks for the add of St. Petersburg High School. But that made it list twice (under the Central High School entry), so I removed yours, and redirected the other to go directly to the high school.
I also deleted your Stetson University Law School entry, b/c it's not on the National Register of Historic Places, which the particular list is about. I checked, and was surprised not to find it [1]. If you can find it somewhere I missed, go ahead and document it and add it back. I've visited the campus, it's gorgeous, and should be on the National Register. But that's true of a lot of places.
Hope this is all ok, and you keep contributing, 'cause it's appreciated. :) --Ebyabe 17:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Thor with Ultimate Thor
Past discussion was not to merge. But feel free to do stuff with it. [2].Brian Boru is awesome 22:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] St. Petersburg High School
It's not that I don't believe the paragraph that states,
- The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme located at St. Petersburg High School, the oldest of its kind in Florida,[3] has achieved considerable academic prestige. [4]
It's just that I'd like the claim of being "the oldest in Florida" verified. For example, on what date did it open? What do you have to justify the phrase "[it] has achieved considerable academic prestige."? What do we consider "considerable academic prestige" to be? If I were going to throw acronyms at you, I'd cite WP:WEASEL and WP:NPOV on that. But remember, I'm just trying to make the article better. WP:CITE never hurt anybody. :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
