[edit] Edits to Rush Limbaugh

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Rush Limbaugh, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Caper13 14:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KFMF

I see you changed KFMF from a redirect to a disambiguation page. Fine, but it needs to be done properly. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). There should be links for the items that have articles, and there should be text before the list. --Vossanova o< 14:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chico

As an ex-Chicoan (who still has relatives there), I'm interested in your edits to the Chico article. Could you give us some references for the Famous Chicoans section? Pollock and Chapman, in particular, make no mention of Chico in their articles. User:Zoe|(talk) 04:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mary Anne Houx

A tag has been placed on Mary Anne Houx, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Wooty Woot? contribs 03:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re:Revert of Chico, Ca page

Sorry about that, your edit came up as vandalism when it clearly wasn't (the bit about the worlds largest yo-yo triggered "yo"). Sorry about undoing your work, it's back now. If you want to revert a page, go to the history and click one of the previous versions, then edit that page, see Help:Reverting. I will be more careful in the future. Thanks for telling me though. See you round, James086 Talk | Contribs 08:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Chico-seal.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chico-seal.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 16:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] belayed welcome

It looks like you never got greeted by the Welcoming Committee so I thought I'd leave a few notes that might help you out. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Also, I noticed you've placed the minor tag on a lot of your recent edits. That's not a problem, but it doesn't really suit some of them, for example this edit. For more details on what constitutes a minor edit checkout Help:Minor edit. Vicarious 07:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] non-notable Chicoans

Responding to your comments (I put yours in quotes):

  • Rob Blair -- Tv news anchor. "He's only included because there is a wikipedia entry on him." If he is included in wikipedia, we might want to change his name somehow so it is no longer a redlink.
  • Tracy Chapman -- "Did live in Chico briefly, but I don't have any good verification." I didn't see any verification on this and didn't know that living somewhere for a little while makes a person "from" a place. In this case, I might be (if I were notable) from many places.
  • Munk One -- "Only included because there was a wikipedia entry on him at one time." I only deleted it as it seemed to be a hoax entry. Never heard of him myself and redlinked, as there is no article as of right now. Perhaps an article should be created?
  • Bernie Richter, "County Supervisor, State Senator. Notable for being a precipitating factor in the affirmative action issue. Other than that he's only notable on the state level." Perhaps you might consider creating an article about this person, as notability would most certainly be obvious if it were made. Otherwise, to a reader from elsewhere, Mr. Richter could be a made-up name on this article.
  • Big Poppa E, slam poet. "Why leave him in and even clarify the entry? I'd say Blair is a more notable Chicoan (i.e. not very)." Because he was not redlinked and the link to Chico was made clear in his article.
  • Grant Ermis, "Mr. Gay USA 2007 -- I would think a national office would qualify one as notable. I think we should revert this one." One citation for verification would solve this, if you don't want to create an article about Mr. Ermis. I didn't know he was a real person, as he was redlinked. --Kukini 06:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I hope the above responses made sense. You are doing great work on the Chico page! --Kukini 07:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
