[edit] header & transparency

I noticed your header picture's background is slightly off. I was going to make it transparent for you, but I wasn't sure you were an IE sympathizer or not. — a thing 06:55, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Have at it. I am an avid Firefox and Linux fan, so don't worry about that. I had made the user page banner transparent originally, but then edited it again, and I must have done something wrong in The GIMP. I've just never bothered fixing it. Thanks for the offer, LINUXERIST@ 13:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Strange, everywhere but your user page it shows up with a transparent background. — a thing 06:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Where is my user page banner transparent then? LINUXERIST@ 12:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorize Tagging

Hello. First I would like to apoligize if I offended you by tagging your article with the categorize template. However it is a cornerstone of new page patrolling and can be very helpful. It is common for authors to simply forget to add a category and tagging it will remind. In addition if the author never returns to the page it will put it into the category so others can find it and add categories later. At any rate if I caused you any grief I am sorry. Good day, SorryGuy 06:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I see your point. — a thing 06:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Title

Hello. Since you used Template:Title on your user page, I've fixed it for you so that it now points to User:SushiGeek/Title, which is now where the template resides. This is per discussion on templates for deletion. SushiGeek 15:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternatives to Office Suites

You made comments regarding the alternatives section of Office. Please consider commenting on a proposed merge. --Karnesky 19:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to The Colbert Report

Stating that it's "always been [Colbert's] position" that Oregon is "Idaho's Portugal" is blatant "because Stephen told me to" vandalism and will not be tolerated. Further such vandalism will warrant a block without further warning. JDoorjam Talk 01:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

There's a reason it was in quotes. — a thing 01:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Trader Joe's

You removed the whole Employees section without discussion. That is not right. See TJ's Discussion before making future edits. WLee 01:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phonon (KDE)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Phonon (KDE), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Phonon (KDE).

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Amiga Workbench 1 3 large.png

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 00:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Microsoft Windows 1 01 screen.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Microsoft Windows 1 01 screen.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
