[edit] Gay characters in video and computer games

It might benefit if you read the tutorial. My apologize if my editing is conflicting with yours, but I'm trying to make all attempts to clean up the article. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:26, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your helping in cleaning up the article. I will try and read more of the tutorial -- I read about half of it before I started but I have 56k dial up that is shaky so I often have a hard time staying online for long periods of time to read an online tutorial. Do you have an interest in video and computer games?

[edit] User page

It is felt that the article you created at Edward TJ Brown is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which must have a notable subject and be verifiable. I have moved it to User:Browned, which is where users are free to write about themselves. You are at liberty to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion.

Note, however, that the purpose of a user page is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing is likely to be removed.

Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information. -- RHaworth 06:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:B horner.jpeg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:B horner.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. -- Longhair 13:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clay Aiken

Hey Browned! Welcome, and I hope you enjoy yourself here at Wikipedia. I just read some of your comments at Talk:Clay Aiken, and I am glad you made them. However, you signed your name by typing (Browned). There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but there's a better, easier way for you to do an auto-signature. If you type four tildes in a row ~~~~ (like this), it'll automatically fill out your username and a time and datestamp, so that other editors know when you left your message. Thanks! · Katefan0(scribble)/poll 21:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

One other small thing. Wikipedians typically expect new comments to come at the bottom of a section, so you should make sure to add a new comment to the bottom of any given section, or else it's likely to get lost. · Katefan0(scribble)/poll 21:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I still am confused about how to add my signature to my comments. Browned.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:RiseofTheDragon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RiseofTheDragon.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 13:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced material

Please do not add names to Perverted-Justice.com without a verifiable source. RadioKirk talk to me 20:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I might take your thoughts and comments under careful consideration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Browned (talkcontribs).
Please do; it's official Wikipedia policy. Unsourced material, particularly when presented in an inflammatory manner (such as identifying someone as a crime suspect), creates potential legal issues for the encyclopedia. Since you appear otherwise to be a productive editor, you need to be aware that repeated violation of this policy is considered vandalism. Be bold in your edits, but take care with them. :) RadioKirk talk to me 23:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I will be sure to continue to be more productive in my contributions to Wikipedia. I am sorry, but I never been able to sign my name properly. ((unsigned|Browned)).
It depends on your keyboard. The tilde (~) is usually near the top left, directly to the left of the "1" key. If so, it'll type "`" without the shift on, and "~" with shift. Type four of those (~~~~) and your signature automatically appears when saved. Happy editing! RadioKirk talk to me 20:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD - A Clockwork Orange (computer game)

I thought you would like to know that the article you started A Clockwork Orange (computer game), has been put up for AfD.--blue520 18:15, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I have renominated this for deletion on the grounds that the information contained in this article is not verifiable from a reliable source. Please visit the afd and add your opinion or explain how this article satisfies the WP:V requirements.--Isotope23 15:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT Characters in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Universe

Howdy! I recently nominated this article for deletion as I believe it violates the following policies: No Original Research, Verifiability, Notability. If you disagree with this, please feel free to leave a comment on the article's AFD debate. Please note that my nomination is not meant as an attack upon yourself or anyone with an interest in the article's subject. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them on my talk page. Happy editing! GeeJo (t)(c) • 19:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Condi Rice Article

Hello, Dear Browned. I have reviewed some of your other work and it looks really good, but I would encourage you not to add rumours to the Condi Rice article concerning her life. The "source" that you cited it not an acceptable source and it was just a repeat of a malicious rumour. There is no place for these types of rumours in Wikipedia, please refrain from citing or mentioning these rumours. Thank you. -----70.114.205.215 20:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I posted a link to a controversy that erupted in 2003 when a comic strip may have implied that she was a lesbian. I feel that the source was valid and that you wrongfully deleted it.

[edit] "political"??

Objectivism is a political philosophy? No, you're WAY out of touch if you think that. Michael Hardy 22:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
