[edit] Mac and Rachel

Nothing personal, but I redirected your article to Another World, because there was more coverage at the main article, and I don't think it deserved a separate one because of that, and the fact that Mac and Rachel were not deemed an official "supercouple," so I removed the link from "supercouple." Not every successful couple equals "supercouple." Mike H. That's hot 02:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Who gets to define who is a supercouple? Many print sources that are reliable, that's who! Please read WP:Civility and WP:DICK. I was trying to be nice but obviously you don't like that. Mike H. That's hot 04:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I think as of late, Soap Opera Digest will name any couple a supercouple. I think it then comes to us to decide who is and who isn't, and I'm not that optimistic that they are one. Mike H. That's hot 06:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm just trying to be helpful. Read the WP:Civility link I gave you earlier. Mike H. That's hot 06:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
For what it's worth, though, I'm all for redirecting John and Marlena to Days of our Lives and Jamie and Babe to All My Children, because I think neither are supercouples. Mike H. That's hot 06:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harding Lemay

Practice is not to bold names in picture captions. Also, see talk on Talk:Lisa Grimaldi. Mike H. That's hot 19:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Harding_Lemay.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Harding_Lemay.jpg. 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 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.

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 5% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 117 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 20:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mac and Rachel

Read this edit summary: # (cur) (last) 21:36, March 3, 2006 Mike Halterman (read the talk page. If this article were expanded I'd be in favor of keeping it, but not if it's going to spout off the same information we ALREADY HAVE on the AW page).

I am not in favor of having a separate article on them if everything, almost word-for-word, can be found in the parent article. Mike H. That's hot 21:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I have placed the Mac and Rachel article on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Mike H. That's hot 21:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Edit warring

Hi, it's come to my attention that you're acting disruptively by edit warring on Mac and Rachel Cory. As you don't seem to be responding to reasonable attempts to communicate, I'm going to take the administrative action of restoring that page to a previous version and protecting it from further edits. If you want to argue for the retention of the version that you favor, please do so at either Talk:Mac and Rachel Cory or Another World (TV series). --Tony Sidaway 01:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Mario m. cuomo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Mario m. cuomo.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thuresson 11:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kola Boof

I am a little puzzled by the series of edits you have made to the Kola Boof article, as they seem to consist either of reverting out recently added sections or restoring text that has recently been edited out as part of the article's ongoing editing/upgrading, many if not most of which include language with POV issues or that is simply non-encyclopedic. I encourage you to to continue working toward improving the article, but to do so in conjunction with other editors by making greater use of the Talk page. One specific element that seems to be disappearing as a result of these edits is the use of language specifying that many elements of Boof's story rely wholly on her own claims and allegations; with so little well-sourced information on this person, these caveats are important under WP:BLP.Robertissimo 02:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the article has substantial sourcing and writing problems, but it has been steadily improving, not least because of reduced input from sockpuppets who appear to be connected to Boof's publisher or even the subject herself. However, I don't think the solution the article's quality issues is bulk-removal of sections and restoration of older text of generally even lesser quality. The major problem with virtually all of Boof's claims is that they eventually source back only to her and have little if no external verifiability, and the article reflects that. Robertissimo 03:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

And by the way, I think your latest edit is spot-on! Bravo. Robertissimo 03:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of soap opera popular couples

I noticed you contested the proposed deletion of this article. I've since begun AfD proceedings to debate the deletion -- if you're interested in making a case for the article's inclusion, please direct your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of soap opera popular couples. Thanks for your consideration. Luna Santin 02:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stanton3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stanton3.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Image:Stanton3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stanton3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 20:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Jamie Kennedy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jamie Kennedy.jpg.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Jerrybrown.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Jerrybrown.gif. 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}} 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. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 17:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
