[edit] Proper format

==Example topic==

Hi, Justen. I was just wondering if you could check out the talk page on the [[apple]] article. There's a big discussion there. Thanks! ~~~~

:Thanks for the head's up! I'll check it out right away. ~~~~

::Great! Hope to see you soon. ~~~~

The two equal signs surrounding the title Example topic will separate the topic cleanly from past and future discussions. The four tildes will sign the original commenter's name, along with the date and time of their comment. When I responded, I prefixed my comments with a single colon. That indents my comments, making threads easier to follow. Finally, when the original commenter responded to me, he added two colons, further indenting his response. Below is an example of what this would have looked like.

[edit] The Photo is up for deletion.

[[Image:Betty Ireland, West Virginia Secretary of State.jpg]] see what you can do to save it. Look at this Wikipedia:WikiProject West Virginia/Deletion sorting I hope you can join. You have some kid that puts deletion tags on everything without reading the information. --71Demon 17:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

You might want to check it out again Wikipedia:WikiProject West Virginia/Deletion sorting --71Demon 21:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm starting to realize that the people policing this are clueless. Wikipedia:WikiProject West Virginia/Deletion sorting. The Release in press release means that it was released. --71Demon 23:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfC on Yamla

I have reviewed your RfC against administrator Yamla. It is always useful when editors take the time to outline their concerns. However, as outlined in Yamla's response, several of the blocks that you are concerned about were not blocked by Yamla. Rather, Yamla reviewed blocks placed by other administrators and reversed or shortened them, either because he thought the blocks were inappropriate to begin with, or because the issue with the blocked user had been resolved. Please see Yamla's response and my comment on the RfC and consider withdrawing or updating it. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 17:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Justen!

Hi! Thanks for your advice about Yamla's requestboard.. I very appreciate it. PS: Where are you from? Morris Munroe 11:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4-H and WP:SCOUT

No it's not final. What came about was that someone had added even communist youth orgs the that cat and we decided to go in and purge it. Since the 4-H article didn't even mention Scouting, it was one I purged. If you could add some lines to the 4-H article about how/why it's could be considered a Scouting org, I'll add it back in. Showing 4-H uses the Scout method and/or is tied to Baden-Powell or BSA would be even better. Lv answer on my talk page.Rlevse 17:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yamla

I responded. Check it out, and see if I formatted it correctly --71Demon 00:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for rearranging Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Yamla. --Yamla 03:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 71Demon

Just to clear something up regarding 71Demon. He was told by multiple admins, both here and on unblock-en-l, that his characterising his block as a "spite block" was a personal attack and would not be tolerated. Note that it is not just my block that he is characterising as such. He was specifically told by another admin, "Please, never do that again. Ever." It is because he chose to continue the same personal attacks he was specifically warned about that resulted in my warning to him. Provided he refrains from any further personal attacks, I welcome his contributions to the Wikipedia generally and to the RfC specifically. --Yamla 23:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

You said: "I recognize your concern regarding the two edits (one, two) 71Demon made, which seem to be the most immediate reasons for your warning. I believe that, in effect, the warning only served to potentially provoke the user and further escalate the situation. Please consider not biting and not feeding. Given the user's animosity relating to your conduct specifically, please also consider refraining from further engaing the user directly, and, instead, please consider asking other administrators to intervene should you believe further administrative action regarding the user is necessary."

Will do, with the exception of commenting on it on my RfC if he does the same thing again, and blanking attacks from my user talk page. If you believe this to be half-hearted or otherwise insufficient, please let me know and we'll discuss further. --Yamla 00:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Just to be clear, my comment on the RfC would only be if he did the same thing on the RfC page itself. --Yamla 00:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Betty Ireland

Re-assess as neccesary and as often as needed. Those aren't set in stone, but moreso a part of an ongoing conversation about imrpoving WV-related articles. Thanks for taking an interest.

BTW, the guidelines were just copied and pasted from another Wikiproject a day ago, so they are still subject to change. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 17:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, don't worry about membership and ranking and whatnot. Assessments are welcome from all. No egos here. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 17:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mount St. Mary's

Thank you for your message. I searched for Mount Saint Mary's College, and got redirected to Mount St. Mary's College which wasn't the one I was looking for. So I changed Mount Saint Mary's College from a redirect into a disambiguation page.

If you would prefer not to have the extra layer of disambiguaton, you are welcome to replace it with a redirect to Mount St. Mary's. But that isn't the same as reverting my edits.

I'm not part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Saints. I'm part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation, trying to fix ambiguous links to Saint Mary's, St. Mary's, St Mary's, St Marys, and so on. CarolGray 15:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

The redirects I changed before I have now changed again so that they point to Mount St. Mary's (via Mount St. Mary's (disambiguation) so it is clear that they are intentional links to the dab page). There are still two ambiguous links to Mount Saint Mary's College which I hope you may be able to put right - they are from Jane Garvey and List of living philosophers and academics of philosophy. Then, Mount Saint Mary's College can become a redirect to Mount St. Mary's. I've also added a link from dab page Saint Mary's to Mount St. Mary's.

I hope this all okay with you now.CarolGray 21:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Wiki-mu-byrd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wiki-mu-byrd.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
