[edit] Overlinking

Your edit summary ("Not all links are "irrelevant.") is a straw man. No one is saying "all" links.... To understand when hyperlinking can be irrelevant, read this guideline article:

My apologies for misunderstanding you. Keep up the good work! -- Fyslee 21:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem. You keep up the good work as well. -- Wordbuilder 21:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Hack"

Wordbuilder

There's a misunderstanding on the "hack" quote ... The "hack" is me, Rbifan. I created the article! Articles I've helped start since then, (I hope) have turned out better. I respect everyone's work (and opinion) on Wikipedia. My apologies. -- Rbifan 02:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I apologize for the misunderstanding. That article has strayed some. Hopefully, with a bit of work, it can be brought up to snuff. Keep up the good work! --Wordbuilder 03:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King of Queens

Oh, you're right. That sentence sounds much better now. I have to learn how to keep relevant ideas close together. Twentyboy 04:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help. I've done the same thing myself. With the constant addition of information, it sometimes gets "stacked on top" rather than woven in. Keep up the good work. --Wordbuilder 14:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC) (Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Twentyboy")
I certainly will. Thanx for the response :) Twentyboy 18:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PostalWatch Incorporated

Thank you for your note about PostalWatch Incorporated.

[edit] New Mexico publications

My apologies if the move was a mistake. I don't live in the Southwest and don't have familiarity with these publications, so I may be a bit confused about things. The stub for The New Mexican (magazine) had neither a website link nor an image, so I wasn't sure which publication it described. I managed to locate both website and image for a newspaper published by The New Mexican, Inc., but the masthead logo visible on the front page scan suggested the full title was The Santa Fe New Mexican, so I created a new stub for it. However, that publication's website also contains numerous references to simply The New Mexican (without the "Santa Fe" bit), so things weren't all that clear. Sometimes a paper has an official name that is different from the branded name and other times papers simply change their names; one of these seemed to be the case here, but perhaps you can fill me in about this.

I then moved The New Mexican (magazine) to New Mexico Magazine because the latter seemed to be what the stub you created was about, especially once I discovered a website for a magazine with that title. Is there a third publication that is a magazine named The New Mexican? If so I apologize, as there should certainly be an article for it as well. Otherwise, if you were actually describing The Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper, you may wish to add your description to that article (best if you do it yourself for copyright reasons). We can also discuss changing the name of (aka "moving") that article as well. Let me know what we can do to straighten things out. -Tobogganoggin talk 23:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:JessieDaniels.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JessieDaniels.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. Yamla 19:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your comments on my talk page. I apologize for my misunderstanding of the policy. I have no objection to the deletion of this image. --Wordbuilder 19:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Texas Tech dab

Doesn't Texas Tech already redirect to Texas Tech University? Are you trying to create something in Texas Tech?--Blueag9 (Talk) 04:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion with User:BQZip01

My comments, posted under "Recent edits to Texas A&M Aggies basketball and comments on your user page," at User:BQZip01:

For Billy Gillispie's departure date in the Texas A&M Aggies basketball article, I changed the format back to Month DD, YYYY since that format is used for the other 50+ dates shown on that page.

As far as your user page goes, it is ironic that you make fun of supposed poor spelling by those from Tech on a page containing multiple spelling errors of your own. (If you need help fixing them, let me know.) And, on the subject of irony, your use of the word "ironically" on the page is also wrong. It might be ironic had you been born on a base named after a "tech tard" since Texas Tech is a rival. However, I would think that you would consider it fortuitous being born on a base named for a fellow Aggie.

Ah well, all in good fun, I suppose. Go, Big 12, and God bless the USA!

BQZip01's reply here:
Ok, so I have a few missspelllings (intentional on this one), but mine can be fixed...and have! Tceh is intentionally misspelled. My errors also weren't done with 50,000+ watching (plus everyone watching on TBS). As for the use of rony, it is ironic that I was born at a base named after an Aggie and that I later became an Aggie. Most people born at a base do not go to the school of its namesake it has been changed to better reflect the situation. "Foruitous" would be used if it somehow benefitted me to be born there, but thanks for playing. BQZip01 03:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
My response at User:BQZip01:
In response to your reply... I suppose the only question that remains is, who has more viewers-- TBS or ABC? Spelling lessons at mTa! --Wordbuilder 14:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
