Welcome to WikiProject CS
Hi! Just noticed that you have signed on as a participant in WikiProject Computer science, and wanted to welcome you to the project.
I also wanted to say "hi" since I saw that you're a Canterbury student. I graduated from there about decade ago (not in CS, although I did take a some of the 100-level COSC classes). --Allan McInnes (talk) 04:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Discussion about Invasion of Iraq article
Hi Smoth007 I only want to communicate with you about your deletions on some of my editions in this article. I have done it again trying to be as neutral as possible because the article seems to have some point of view problems. I have chosen to only edit some very small sentences that seems to me the more biased. Perhaps we can discuss it here before starting deleting each other postings.
1) US and UK attempts that the UN security council approve the use of force against Iraq: · The resolution has never been voted because US-UK were at minority after checking its supports in the council. The veto problem was not the real cause of the resolution withdrawal. It is true that some permanent members later announce that they would use the veto against the resolution.
2)Insurgents or resistance: · A lot of groups in Iraq opposes the foreign occupation, this is a fact. The term insurgents or resistance are used by coalition forces and Iraq government the former and the latter 'resistance' are used by these guerrilla groups. Terrorism groups are also a reality in Iraq today and ethnic fights as well.
3)Weapons of mass destruction · It is a fact too that Saddam regime does not have WMD and the only chemical warfares found in Iraq after the invasion were no useful chemical weapons that date from Iran-Iraq war in the 80's. These cannot be used as weapons. Mainly they are remains of ammunition that contained the chemical substances mentioned in your article.
First time editing in wikipedia maybe I do not use the correct page to discuss these issues but thanks for your understanding.

Re: Battle of Najaf
Nice article; thanks for creating it!
As far as the category names go, trying to do a split will probably lead to another fight over the naming of the main Iraq War article, and there aren't that many entries there in any case. I think the easier option would be to simply rename the category to Category:Battles and operations of the Iraq War but to keep it together, as that will follow the structure the articles themselves use.

Halloween
Hey 007.
I didn't add anything to the Halloween article, but I did delete a very silly sentence that was both vulgar and offensive to anyone of the Irish race.
I think you may be mistaken, unless deleting such a sentence is vandalism...then I apologize.

Tiger Force
Hello: the image of the Tiger Force patch belongs to me according to my policy statement and notice of copyright on my web site, where that patch was first posted. It is a replica patch, and not contemporary with the VN era. It was made in about 2002 or so. About 50 where made, and distributed to VN vets who served with Tigers. The combination of the two (TF patch and 101 patch) is also my image since I modifird the 101 patch for use on my page. The 101 patch alone would be a device of the US government, and usable by anyone as public domain. Your good faith statement is acceptable to me, since most people do not really understand the issues of heraldry, and what is the difference between an authourized patch and an unauthourzed patch.

Pine Gap
Hi,
I recently got a message from yourself re: Pine Gap page.
At the bottom of the page it refers to the Pine Gap 6. So in the external links page I thought it appropriate to put a link to their website? Why is this wrong?

re: Category:Date of birth missing
Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.
By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Aviator 'vandalism'
Hi, I got a message from you saying that I had 'vandalised' the Aviator page. I was actually getting rid of the PORN PORN PORN PORN that some idiot had written in that section! Seemed only to dissapear when I deleted that paragraph. Glad to see you've got the paragraph back without the PORN PORN PORN and it's all sorted now! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.32.107.250 (talk) 14:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi,
You have put yourself as interested in helping out at WikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Waco siege TIME Magazine cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Waco siege TIME Magazine cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 22:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
