Hi, see my note to you at JFK assassination, please 129.33.49.251 18:07, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Odd...I don't see a comment there? Maybe it needs to be re-submitted to the page. Skybunny 19:51, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I noticed your draft for a television station article. I am a member of Wikiproject Television Stations, and I've been using a nifty table for each affiliate I've worked on. Take a look: WEAR, WTEV, WTLV, WJXX, WKRG, and WPMI. Tell me what you think about using it in your articles. Mike H 18:43, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)

I saw your addition to WGBA. Nice work! At Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations, I've started a list of affiliates served by the chart. I added WGBA to there already, but when you're done, can you add the rest to that list? I've alphabetized them. Mike H 20:54, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
I even took your lead and added the FOX, UPN, and WB affiliates to my Mobile boxes. Haven't done it to Jacksonville yet, but I will tomorrow. Have a nice evening! Mike H 20:55, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] W. Mark Felt

Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt. PedanticallySpeaking 15:50, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Badly Animated Man

I made two minor tweaks to your paragraph and fixed the Badly Animated Man redirect to match your section heading. Cool? Pleasure working with you. David Bergan 16:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brett Favre image

According to my note on the talk page from a few days ago, it appears that low-res cover images can indeed be used under fair use. Click on the image and read the copyright tage there. --mtz206 03:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

i'm no expert in the fair use claim of these cover images - I only saw that example and presumed its justification was valid. Now that I've dug up the discussion regarding thse images, perhaps your assessment is more accurate. --mtz206 03:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WGBA and WACY

I was able to find the logos I was looking for for WGBA on my tapes and uploaded them to the article, but I don't have anything for the WXGZ days; Sheboygan hasn't had WACY at all on cable so I have nothing on tape for the WACY era, though I do have the first Ace logo in JPG form.

[edit] Thank you for your edits to Life Alert

I hate it when shady IPs set up advertisement-articles. I tried to help Life Alert, but I know so little about it. Thanks for chopping it up a bit. BrokenSegue 23:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I have also noticed that that anon is spamming Life Alert on to other pages. We should both keep an eye on this guy. BrokenSegue 23:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Even admins can't check to see if the two users are one and the same. Such power is given to very few and is used sparingly. Let's try to settle this through discussion and reverts. I left the spam template on the anon's talk page. BrokenSegue 02:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JFK

I'm curious to know what your take on the JFK assassination is, since I didn't see any of your edits offhand. I was intrigued by the various conspiracy theories at one time, but over the decades I have pretty well concluded that Oswald was definitely in on it and possibly the only one in on it. I was pretty sure he was guilty of something at the time, just because of his flippant demeanor about the whole subject. But as with the Lincoln conspiracy, we will probably never know the facts for certain. Wahkeenah 06:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your note. You're right, too much time has passed for us to ever likely know the full story for sure, barring the appearance of some sensational, as-yet-undiscovered evidence. You don't say how old you are. I was a young teen in 1963, and it was an unbelievable shock. I tell the younger generation that whatever they felt on 9/11/01 is kind of like how it felt on 11/22/63. (In some ways 9/11 was worse, because we had to sit through the footage ad nauseum. The film footage of JFK's shooting was not made public for 10 years.) I think part of our generation's obsessiveness with it has to do with "therapy"... if they can just somehow find the truth, they can feel vindicated. But as you said, there's no getting around the fact that he was killed. However, there is no limit to conspiracist looniness. Someone, years ago, actually posed the theory that JFK was still alive but in some sort of vegetative state. I think the relatively recent release of the autopsy photos pretty well put that theory to rest. Anyway, thanks for your note and your contributions. :) Wahkeenah 02:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sports Illustrated Magazine Covers

They are fair use for pictures. A lot of the sports articles have them as pictures for the person being represented. So, therefore it is fair use. How is what I'm doing different than what anyone else is doing? I am just using them as pictures for the person. The same as everybody else. CubsFan2006 20:34, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SNIyer12 RfC

I’m just curious, how did you come across the SNIyer12 RfC? I almost asked you to help with it, originally, but I looked at the histories and thought s/he had given up making stubborn edits to the 9/11 pages( that was May 21st, his/her recent edit to the Aftermath page didn’t come until the 23rd), so I commented out the stuff I had about those pages, and left you alone. If this goes to Mediation or Arbitration( as I suspect it will, given SNIyer12’s tendency to ignore users who take issue with him/her), you should definitely be involved, if you want. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 22:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

10AM is back. *sigh* vandals -- MrDolomite 05:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pets.com

I edited your article for the facts, not what press clippings you appeared to use. I was a senior executive at the company and therefore know what happened and am aware what was reported to have happened. Your article had significant errors in almost every paragraph, starting with the first sentence. The company did not file for bankruptcy. It closed its doors with a net positive worth to give money back to shareholders. I am assuming that you just picked up articles that had invalid facts in them and your article did not include intentional misrepresentations of the facts. ---Betty and Lou

This discussion was taken to the pets.com talk page. Skybunny 22:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pat Neshek Image

If this image is being questioned, you need to look at the other Minnesota Twins player images used on other articles. Just don't want to feel I'm being singled out, which I believe is the case right now. --RyguyMN 01:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Source for Brett Favre Image

Skybunny - I'm not entirely sure where the image came from as I've had it on my computer and simply decided to upload it when I noticed that that Brett's article didn't have an image. I still am pretty sure that it is in fair use, but I'll try to find another one I can determine the source for, possibly from [1] or from a sports news site such as [2]. - Mike (Trick or treat) 23:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand that freely licenced images are ideal, but aren't there some situations where using a fair use image from a site such as ESPN.com would be appropriate? See the FA Calvin and Hobbes for example. It uses some panels from comic strips to illustrate the subject of the article so that the reader can better understand it. Sorry if I'm a little ignorant here, and please correct me if I'm wrong :-). - Mike (Trick or treat) 19:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. I will try to locate a freely licenced image if I can, and I'll certainly give WP:FAIR another read. - Mike (Trick or treat) 19:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Pets-com-sock-puppet.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pets-com-sock-puppet.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

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. howcheng {chat} 22:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Asked for speedy delete of this image; someone has found a free image of the subject (so fair use isn't needed). Skybunny 01:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wwv

Hello and thank you for your help with Radio Station WWV. I have new documentation that I posted in the discussion page for the article that will show we are all in error. The voice of WWV is Lee Rodgers. Note it is dated 2005, the documentation from the tv station was 2003. Erager 19:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
