[edit] January 17

well, i don't know how to chat with you in this forum, but i have a question. I collect all kinds of strange things, and i have an original of Robert Franklin Williams FBI Wanted flyer. I tried to JPEG the crinkly yellow thing, and it was rejected by Wikipedia. Maybe i did it wrong or maybe the issue is with the flyer's use.

I think the Jpeg of my flyer falls under "fair usage" because it's an historical document. (incidentally, i have 10 or 11 different FBI Wanted flyers of different "suspects" from the mid-1960's to mid-1970's.

They're fascinating, which is why i kept them--I am a poet, and when i happened upon them, i thought these flyers would make a nice creative project. I filed my collectable find for a while, but started researching the flyers tonight with my housemate, Paul. We were surprised and delighted to find information on two names thus far: John D. Slaton, a Most Wanted in 1966, apprehended in 1967, and this civil rights hero: Robert Franklin Williams. i would like to include the FBI flyer in William's Wikipedia page. Do you think it's (uhm) too much?

Also, Wikipedia generally doesn't "reject" things; images are usually marked for deletion after a while if there aren't any sources... So I really don't know what might have happened. Please reply if you have any more questions! Root2 05:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking *a section* of "Secure Shell"

I deleted that paragraph of "How ssh uses public-key cryptography (with analogy)" under the "Secure Shell" article, under the IP address of 64.203.216.146. Frankly, I think such a poorly-written and unnecessary paragraph was doing Wikipedia more of a disservice than my deletion of said paragraph. However, I have respected your revert.

Here's what I put under the Secure Shell talk page: "...I still think it should be trashed. Saying that SSH supports public-key authentication is enough - just provide a link to the main Public-Key Cryptography article - there's nothing too revolutionary about SSH's implementation of it, and this section is just a poor overview of public-key cryptography. My golden retriever can write better than this - poor grammar, too many colloquialisms, and what the hell is a "Padlock" (mind you, this links to the article about the physical padlock...)?!"
