[edit] Handbook of Texas proposed deletion

Please go here and express your opinion on whether Category:Handbook of Texas citations should be deleted. As a Wikipedian in Texas, your opinion on this topic is particularly valuable. 66.167.253.162 17:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Re: Simpsons Video Game Rights

Thanks for the information. Just wanted to make sure the information was factual before it got buried in all the edits. Thanks again for your response. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:28, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Drudge

I've responded to your comments on the Talk page for the article. Eleemosynary 07:03, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adding signature/time to talk pages?

Hello. I noticed that you were following behind me helping to clean up some recent Amarillo, Texas articled edits. Thanks! I have a quick question that I hope you can help with... How do you insert your username and time to any additions you make to Talk pages? As you can see from this entry (the one you're reading now), I haven't figured that out yet. Cheers, Lbbzman.

Oops... just figured it out. You had kindly listed it above and I wasn't even reading! Sorry :) Lbbzman 23:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I noticed, thanks. Tim 01:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plano TX seal

Whoa, great job on the new PNG! Thanks for notifying me. Best regards.-Scm83x 09:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No problem

Thanks for the PNG! :) jengod 18:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead and delete the one, and use the one that was there. NoseNuggets 5:58 PM US EST Jan 5 2006


[edit] You can remove the image deletion tags from the Steve Young and Boomer Esiason articles

I re-uploaded them with the "proper" credits. Happy now? GeorgeC 17:40, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AT&T Globe

No, I didn't think of an edit war. The reason I thought that the new AT&T logo should be vertical was that all of the AT&T logos on the page are vertical, and AT&T has been advertising with the vertical logo. Also, regarding the 1983 logo, I put the version on that was most associated before 1999 (a.k.a. the "shadow" logo). The pre-1999 logo had more stripes in the globe as the official logo, while the 8-stripe logo was used before 1999, according to a PDF article on bellsystemmemorial.com, was used when the logo was to be used in small dimension.

Also, I have no capability to make .png images. I'm sorry for the "war" I might have caused, but I was trying to make changes based on historical accuracy. KansasCity 03:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:My english teacher, Sue!.jpg

How is that photo considered for deletion? (Xtremeruna21 21:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC))

Well the photo is now been used for the Blond article. (Xtremeruna21 21:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for making me feel welcome! Now if you could only explain how to delete my awful vanity page all together...Dothivalla 04:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You Found an ANB Logo!

I initially wrote the ANB article (before getting an account). I didn't have a logo for the bank and I didn't know one was available. Thanks! Quidam65 05:17, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great work on Amarillo and Amarillo-related topics

I award this Barnstar to J. Nguyen for exceptional work developing content for Amarillo and Amarillo-related articles.

I randomly ran across the Amarillo articles while looking at the RC list today. Just wanted to agree with Lbbzman that you've done an excellent job! Kuru talk 00:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!!

I'm with Dothivalla. That was really nice of you.

[edit] New image I uploaded

Hi. I notice you've raised concerns about sports-related images in the past. I uploaded Image:CarlosDelgado.jpg recently. Do you think that looks like an acceptable fair-use image? I'm pretty confused about why some sports people have images and some don't because they get deleted. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bobby Trendy

Bobby Trendy has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe 05:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Not that it matters, but that makes this [1] pretty confusing to me. Did you do a cut and paste move, or what am I missing? NickelShoe 05:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Cut and paste moves are bad, you know. Kills the edit history. Since your edit summary didn't say where you got the text, it's awfully hard for me to figure that out. NickelShoe 05:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
You know you can request moves, right? NickelShoe 05:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Wikipedia is not place to promote your website (Dragon Quest 8)

J. Nguyen,

I appreciate your dedication in preventing spam from taking over Wikipedia and helping make it a great tool for gathering information. However, I would like to discuss your accusations of me “spamming” the Dragon Quest VIII Wikipedia entry.

Yes, that is a link from the gaming news website I work for. I believe I posted it in a tactful manner. If you look at #5 in your Wikipedia:Spam link you gave me, please take note that I didn’t violate any of those in the list. I will admit, the first time I posted my link I did put it before the “famitsu” line as I thought it would be more aesthetically pleasing for how the links were being laid out. My apologies for that.

By putting a review section on the Dragon Quest VIII wikipedia entry, I feel it’s relevant to post any and all reviews that people would find of interest for the game. I don’t think having a review section and saying “just keep it to really well known publication/websites such as gamespot, ign, 1up, eurogamer and famitsu” is fair and open exchange of information. That would be like saying “sure, there are tons of news networks on TV, but you can *only* watch MSNBC.”

Also, just because I’m not “well known” by you, doesn’t mean that what I write is any less credible or important than gamespot, ign, 1up, eurogamer and famitsu. There are tons of very well done reviews for the game, mine included, that I believe should be included in that review entry so people can have a choice in what they read.

I would also like to note, that at the bottom of the Dragon Quest VIII wikipedia entry, there are fan links that would also be classified as “Web sites or fandoms” as mentioned in your Wikipedia:Spam link. How do these escape the “Wikipedia:Spam” rules?

I think by even having a review or an external links section is just asking for links to be put in for articles/sites related to Dragon Quest VIII, providing they are done within the rules and not just there to “plug” a website. Honestly, the whole thing seems to be a “gray area” and I would rather not need to bring Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation into it because the worst case scenario is that the review and external link sections get all external links that are not directly related (official sites, etc) to the game get removed and everyone (more importantly, the readers) loses.

Thoughts?

Thanks Nathias

PS – Thanks for setting up my User talk:Nathias or whatever needed to be done with it.  :)

[edit] Thanks for your help

Dude, thanks for your help with correctly identifying the college Mercury Morris attended. I was just having a little fun with you as far as the use of the term "dude". I read the Amarillo, Texas article which you have been working on and was very impressed. I have been working on some Florida cities, and your article kind of gave me some ideas how to approach "the big picture" if you will -for a medium sized city.

There was one thing I was wondering as I read through the article; however, and that is how come you didn't mention the Cattlemen v. Oprah Winfrey litigation in the article. Wasn't that a big deal out there in West Texas? Didn't that lead to the rise of Dr. Phil? Hokeman 04:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Texas Tech images

This is a reply to a comment on my talk page left by an anonymous editor. I think this editor is you; if not, I apologize.

I changed the image to a version of the seal with proper licensing. --Myles Long 00:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sony logo

Hello, I'd like to inform you that Image:Sony-corp-logo.png was deleted as it was redundant to higher-quality Image:Sony Logo.svg. Conscious 17:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Amarillo texas seal.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:UT_System_Seal.png

Thanks for uploading Image:UT_System_Seal.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Teel Bivins

Thanks for the catch on the Bivins article. I meant to remove the People from Texas category since People from Amarillo is more specific. — Bellhalla 13:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Texas AandM star logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Texas AandM star logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.

[edit] Image:Joe-pa-sports-illustrated-2005-cover.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Joe-pa-sports-illustrated-2005-cover.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 17:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bah, who cares if you think it is not fair use. Orphanized it. (Image:Joe-pa-sports-illustrated-2005-cover.jpg)

Bah, get a life shh...of course I'm kidding. A rude kidding. It is sad that you have to do the images for deletion process. You have way too much time on your hands. The odds of me being the copyright holder is very very slim. Forget wikiquette and just be rude. Just orphanized on questionable "fair use" images such as magazine covers that don't relate to a subject. You're informing me an upload that I did over a year ago. No need to go all the time consuming images for deletion. Be a rebel and an orphan image bot. On your user page: I'm a self-described-self-described image cleaner and fair use inquisitor. Good luck with the 1.6 million pages of going through... --J. Nguyen 00:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for wishing me luck. I'll need it! And as you seem worried about Wikipedia's volunteers free time, would you care to tag the image as {{db-author}} so that it gets speedy deleted by uploader request? Thanks! --Abu badali (talk) 00:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


Hi. I'm TechnoFaye and I'm writing this because you had perfectly good images you uploaded marked for deletion by Abu Bidali. You should know that he does this because he thinks it's funny; he even says so on his user page. More then 20 other editors just like us are parties to several formal complaints to Wikipedia in an effort to have him banned permanently for doing just what he did to you. Others have described him on the record as a "hoodlum" and a "vandal". My testimony was that "Bidali would be just as happy breaking antennas off cars at night". After he is gone, we can repair the damage he has done to WP. If you haven't already, please consider adding your name to the lists at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_Who_Endorse_This_Summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary:_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary:_4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Other_users_who_endorse_this_summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary
