Please take a look at the projects and see if there is anything that interests you. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me. BlankVerse ∅ 06:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stephan Smith

I see that you've added him to the list of Eagle Scouts. Since I hadn't heard of him before, I googled him. Perhaps you'd be willing to create a page about him, as he appears to be a somewhat notable singer/songwriter/activist? --Habap 14:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC) (Scoutmaster, Troop 149, Arlington, VA)

After reading your request, I went and began the Stephan Smith article. --L1AM 09:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work

...on Santa Barbara county-related stuff (especially Santa Ynez Valley area). Good to see another local editor! Btw I added what I think may be the right license to the Santa Barbara flag image. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 23:59, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Santa Barbara is also on my watchlist, so I've noticed your contributions. Thanks! I also saw you fixing this link: [Jack Johnson (musician)|Jack Johnson]. One of my favorite tricks on Wikipedia is that if you insert a pipe-character ("|") alone it has the effect of hiding the parenthetical clarifier. Thus, [Jack Johnson (musician)|] renders as Jack Johnson. Cheers, -Willmcw 09:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

That is a really cool trick! Thanks for sharing it.--L1AM 09:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Philmont Scout Ranch

Hey L1AM, I added some structure and formatting to the Philmont WikiProject that you started. Feel free to make any changes. I hope other editors are interested in joining the project. Solarusdude 20:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please adopt your state

I have now completed the transition from state list to articles on Scouting in each state, as per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards, for merger and improvement of articles. Please help fill in some blanks at Scouting in California! Thanks, YiS, Chris 09:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Syhs.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Syhs.gif. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I added the CA state employee tag. Hopefully thats the right one. --L1AM 10:03, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, is a teacher or administrator at a public high school a state employee? I'm not sure so I removed the tag. Please consult (or just delete the image). --L1AM 07:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PhilWiki

Would it be possible to host a Philwiki somewhere? It seems like it could be a very effective, dynamic guide for staffers and potential hikers. So many websites that are incomplete, or opinionated, while forums are nightmares. Likewise, Philmanac has errors and has to be reprinted with each update. Meanwhile, so much information about Philmont is inappropriate for Wikipedia.

Alternatively, We could start one on WikiCities. Getting editors for the project should not be hard, with so many fan groups in existence. Getting the basic material is not too hard - there are sources available, while Philmont's records are also usable. Beside this the administrative elements of PhilWiki could all be taken from Wikipedia, to limit the amount of work needed to complete this.

We could invite all the administrators of Philmont, as well as contacting the people at PSA and other people like living descendants of the Abreus, etc. Donbas 17:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I started it. Please become a registered user and I'll promote you to bureaucrat. I threw up a project page, so we can begin organizing the place. I need help building an attractive main page. i have some ideas about how to design it, which we'll have to discuss. Donbas 08:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Things are gliding along in Phikwikistan. Please try to help me write policies, etc. The other users aren't as used to Wikipedia and can work on material, but we need a framework before we open it to the public.Donbas 02:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philmont box

Would you like to put your Philmont userbox in with the other Scouting userboxes? I could do it for you if you like. Rlevse 10:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

What was going on was some image Nazi was purging the images from user boxes that he felt violated Wiki rules about Fair Use tags in userboxes (you can use fair use images in articles, but not user boxes). He pissed me off as he's ignoring some and purging others, so we had some words over it. Then there's the box that uses the BSA logo with a "no" symbol, which Rebelguys2 has tried to get deleted, so he and I have discussed strategy on that one. Anyway, I am sure your box will have no problems in this area. I'll try to get to it today. Rlevse 11:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I see you have the acutal code for all four userboxes on your page. I can replace all four with their templates if you like, that way you don't have to maintain the code. Let me know. Rlevse 15:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Where in the userbox pages did you put Philmont? We have a section for Scouting related ones at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Interests#Scouting Rlevse 12:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I didn't find it anywhere, so I merely added it to the Scouting section. It's on my userpage too.Rlevse 19:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Facebook exploit

Looks like they just got wind of it and removed it. I wasn't able to capture a screenshot. I'll take it out of the article, as of now it's not notable enough to be included. --Liface 04:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Facebook Archive

Thanks for doing that - I was waiting for the whole move debate to get settled. I didn't even know there was a fun template for archives - it must be a new thing. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 17:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Jwalesfacebook.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jwalesfacebook.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. feydey 02:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cool comment

Thanks for your cool FAC comment! My head was about to explode with conceit already, and you made it go "pop". :-) Bishonen | ノート 01:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC).

[edit] My bad from last month

I didn't know I offended CFilson.

PS when is it ok to use the scouting stub on an Eagle Scouts bio? 132.241.245.49 05:59, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Santa Barbara Meetup

Hello Liam. Since you're a participant in WikiProject Santa Barbara County, I thought you might be interested in the Santa Barbara Wikipedia Meetup on Saturday 8 April. Please see that page for details. I hope to meet you there! Angela. 10:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Jwalesfacebook.png)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jwalesfacebook.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Admrb♉ltz (t • c • log) 02:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Facebook and refs

References are bugged currently. Please don't blank the article to try and fix that, though? Ryūlóng 05:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Tip: when the refs get bugged like that, just append ?action=purge to the end of the URL on your browser; that will clear the page (on the wiki end) and reset the refs. Please drop me a line if that wasn't clear. Kuru ^talk 05:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I tried tweaking references but the [a] [b] superscript kept showing up. I tried copying the entire article to my sandbox and the references worked there so I thought maybe quickly blanking it was the only way to fix it (and by the time I tried to replace it, had your edit conflict). Kuru has since pointed out Purge which I'll use in the future. Again, sorry for the trouble! —L1AM (talk) 05:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki-marxist garble

This is a request for immediate help from Kmaguir1. If you have time, I'd like you to examine the Bell Hooks article and talk page. It's a scholarly article about a controversial writer, someone who drew the ire of a conservative commentator. They wanted me to go get the quote from her book, and I did that. But now, they're arguing it's not notable. As a follower of Wikipedia, you will know that of all the meaningless academic trivia included on her page, that what they wanted to exclude was really ridiculous: that she says as an opening to her book, Killing Rage, "I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white male that I long to murder". This may in itself be notable, but David Horowitz wrote about it in 100 Dangerous Professors, and it was written about on front page mag, and all the citations are given on the page. I would appreciate your help--I'm contending with some very difficult Marxists who are attached to her work, and think that they're defending the liberal cause, but really, they're just keeping out material that is very easily notable.-Kmaguir1 08:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Greetings. In the interest of disclosure, I'd like to inform you of a conduct RfC on Kmaguir1. It's here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kmaguir1. If you have time and are so inclined, feel free to provide comments there. Meanwhile, if you go to the bell hooks page, please do join in the discussion. If you read the Talk page and look at my and others' edit histories, you'll see that the picture is not quite as Kmaguir1 paints it. (I have no idea who the Marxists are he's referring to, and I've also edited his text for improvement, and left it in the article, vs. what he's saying here.)

Bottom line: welcome to bell hooks, be aware of the RfC, and feel free to join it. Cheers,--Anthony Krupp 17:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Zorpia

An article that you have been involved in editing, Zorpia, has been listed by me at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zorpia. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --A. B. ^(talk) 23:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

You made some minor edits to this article previously. --A. B. ^(talk) 23:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
