[edit] Unprofessionalism should be banned

Recently it has been the policy of some people who contribute to Wikipedia to engage in less-than-professional behavior; to insert or add content to articles that are based on bovine excrement; and other such related stuff. What needs to happen is everyone should stop, sit back, and think about what should really be done.

Yes, that includes myself, so I'm going to do my utmost to be professional. Carajou 20:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Might want to work on this a little bit (e.g. Talk:Almeda University). That particular article already has enough fire on its talk page. Michaelbusch 17:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Job :)

I just came on wikipedia after curiosity struck regarding the bermuda triangle. I read the very informative article then decided to check the discussion and history, where i saw the effort you put into the whole thing. Just wanted to say Good Job XD. Mr toasty 00:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Speck1966.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Speck1966.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re Nelson

Just a response to your valiant effort concerning the image of Nelson. Good job! It's absurd that 'Nelson' doesn't point to the ADMIRAL!! I would defy anyone to produce a survey demonstrating that the majority of those polled would think of any other place or person than the Admiral if asked, "Name something that comes to mind when you hear, 'Nelson' ". I've been to his tomb in St Paul's many times, including once when I got lost in the catacombs and ended up by the great man on my own. My friend is a high ranking clergyman at the Cathedral so I got to be with Nelson alone for a whole hour! Best, Dave.Iamlondon 01:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Albert Victor

I agree, it's total nonsense. All the descriptions of him are that he certainly enjoyed a good time, was a bit of a playboy but that's about it. The man was heir to the throne. That whole tripe about Jack the Ripper is such foolishness - Princes and Kings have always had illegitimate children, there would have been no great scandal of another one and CERTAINLY no reason to murder anyone. It's just the wanderings of childish imaginations to assert the man was a murderer. The rumour isn't given any serious consideration by serious sources. Jack the Ripper was little more than a demented lunatic who probably died in obscurity or took his own life. We'll never know!Iamlondon 20:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 170.211.121.61

Hey, yeah I totally agree.. I personally didn't block him, but if I did have blocking power I'd block for longer periods of time. I mean sometimes you spend about 20 minutes fighting really determined vandals and then they get blocked for something ridiculous like "6 hours". You just can't get the staff these days. =P LibLord 23:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pogo 22

Referencing it here as well as the Triangle discuss page, to make sure you get it. How goes the acquisition of the relevent materials. --Chr.K. 10:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Jimbo's page

I was interested in your recent post on Jimbo's page, I have repleid to it there, but it was an interesting point so I'll post my reply here as well:-

I agree with you we don't want liars in our midst - but a student who depends solely and exclusively on Wikipedia for a "passing grade" - or indeed any other singular text book is a very silly student. I seriously believe 99.99% of Wikipedia editors are sincere in their edits, but students should always remember theories and accepted views change over time - what a student/editor was taught 20 years ago, or even two years ago, maybe not the facts an examiner is looking for today. Wikipedia is not intended to be, nor professes to be, written solely by university lecturers in current employment.

Hope that explains things. Regards Giano 19:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
