[edit] Five

Has anyone noticed your edit to Five (TV)?? Georgia guy 23:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know :S TheTallOne 23:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC) (Just to say I read the post below)

I did, but I won't revert it anymore. I was under the impression that Wikipedia does not advertise or endorse other organisations or their products. If British TV channels have articles on Wikipedia, with their names typed on the basis of their branding alone (i.e. advertising), then why are these same articles not typed with the following displayed as: "BBC ONE", "BBC TWO", "itv1", "4", and so on? The same could be said for articles on any other organisation or product. RobWill80 01:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

What about iPod or adidas? TheTallOne 11:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

You're right, but I'll get to that in a moment. The reason I had for renaming the Five article, was that Five don't use a small case 'f' outside of branding (e.g. they call it Five in their press releases). Independent sources also don't use it either (e.g. newspaper articles and many TV listings call it Five). The same applies where organisations and products do use a stylised name outside of branding - iPods, adidas, eBay, etc. (Press releases and newspapers type them as iPod, adidas, eBay, and so on).

EDITED: I take back the comment that was here. See below. RobWill80 18:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

It is just sarcasm...nevermind

From Wiktionary: shut up

(Informal) Said to people to stop them talking or making noise. Generally used to insult, to command attention, or to convey urgency, but is sometimes used lightheartedly by teens or among close friends.

I'm a teen and I use it in everyday conversation - I'm sorry if you took offence. TheTallOne 16:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

It's okay. I'm sorry for taking it the wrong way. :) RobWill80 18:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copy vio

I did not upload any images to wikipedia. I used the 6N site as a source, it does not state copyright. I did not copy and paste the articles, I used only a few sentences and there are differences between their sentences and mine. The articles were always intended to be further edited.

I suggest that calling such things copy violation is extreme, I doubt that copyright could be argued to apply to individual sentences on work that is not specifically copyrighted especially when the sentences are part of a much longer text such as the Andrew Sheridan article.

I've read the five pillars. They say nothing about not having similar sentences in wiki and primary sources.GordyB 02:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you read this, it specifically says a few sentences taken from a website does not count as a copyright issue.GordyB 02:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The AIC map

Looks good, except the West Bank and Gaza Strip names need to be switched. Thanks. ←Humus sapiens ну? 13:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. --TheTallOne 11:26, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celebrity Big Brother 7 (UK)

This has been closed as kept in December. Do you want to renominate? In that case you need to use {{afdx}}, which adds a (2nd nomination) to the header. ~ trialsanderrors 19:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Checking the article, turn out it was moved to Celebrity Big Brother 2007 (UK) and your nomination is just for a redirect, which should go here: WP:RfD. ~ trialsanderrors 19:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
