Note: I was having problems with this page in that every time I click on the thing to edit it, my computer completely froze and I had to do a hard reboot. I don't know if there was code on it or what, but - I've now brought in a friend with a Mac, connected to my wireless network, and deleted the thing. If you left a message for me and are waiting for an answer, I apologize: please leave the message again.
Interestingly, when we went in with the Mac and began to edit, it tried to resize the browser window! Strangest thing I've seen in years. --Charlene 06:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notable aircraft accidents?
Thanks for chiming in on the "list of 1930s films" discussion. Not sure what your "frozen computer" problem was (you must be using Windows; I test software, I know how clunky it is), but your old Talk page contents aren't lost. If you're wondering how to recover it, jot me a note on my Talk page. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 02:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Caledonia-Record
Greetings, I was wondering if you could go to this Afd and provide any input possibly? Thanks. --sumnjim talk with me·changes 12:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alvin Chen
Never mind, further investigation of the stuck-behind-a-paywall GNews Hits shows that they're talking about some Little League game. I got confused because all their teams were named after MLB teams. [1] Sorry for the confusion! cab 05:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This needs to be solved
I have taken the "List of Companies" problem (what to do with an entire class of articles that get repeatedly submitted for deletion en mass?) for debate to two different places. This really needs to be solved once and for all (we can't keep debating the same stuff for eternity). Would you take a look at either the discussion on the Village Pump or the relevant wikiproject?

[edit] Fertility symbol
I agree with your speedy delete. Bearian 18:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Articles for Deletion is an ongoing discussion, not a vote. If you don't think that the people appreciate questioning or commenting to their vote, then maybe they shouldn't vote. NobutoraTakeda 18:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sock?!
My IP is in Virginia, Imnotfamous' IP is in Kansas! How can I be a "sockpuppet"?! Imnotfamous is a former co-worker who is aware of my contributions to digital forensics!
[edit] removing info..
you are allowed to remove info from your personal discussion page.
If you find my words as hostel then maybe you take offense when someone asks for you to elaborate on a short answer in an Article for Deletion. Yes and no answers, or answers without specific reasons, details, and acknowledgement of the rules are not worth a vote and are liable to being ignored in a deciding process. If you cannot accept my comments and respond appropriately then you should stay away from the deletion forum. The style of my comments has taken place on every major deletion review that has been in serious debate. If you can't accept that then maybe you should take your advice and step back. Articles will be edited mercilously and "votes" will be responded to mercilously. NobutoraTakeda 00:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] contested prod for fertility symbol
Use AFD for this if you want to delete it; I think this is an encyclopedic subject and that before placing a prod on the article, you should have tried googling for third-party reliable sources which I am convinced should exist.--82.76.64.110 09:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Just a note
You said "no formal vote because I'm involved" -- I should point out that neither AFD nor DRV is a formal vote. So it's really okay for you to comment on it. Happy editing! >Radiant< 09:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion Review
The deletion review policy states that no new information or debate is to be presented during deletion review. Anyway, there were several problems with your argument. You obviously did not read my arguments. A)Technology Forums is not an internet forum. I cannot contribute or change their website in any way what so ever. They are, in fact, a company that specializes in organizing huge technology conferences for the government. The bio they have listed is short, but is accurate and a third party bio for me, as a presenter at a conference they organized.
Secondly, the biography guide stated that a "best friend" cannot write an article about you. That being said, Imnotfamous is simply a former co-worker with an interest in my contributions to digital forensics, not a friend.
As for secondary sources, I would refer you to the article on self-publishing which explains what it is, and makes it clear that this is not such. The government IS, as sole owner of any work I've authored in the field on their time, a secondary source should they decide to publish my work. I gave one example of an individual whose publications were MIT and who was an MIT professor, but no one objects to that. There are COUNTLESS examples of this, as it is commonplace for the government to publish (barring any one else from doing so) work of their employees. Further, as this is a result of a lengthy peer review as well, it is not self-published.
Had you actually read the links to WP policy within my argument you would have seen this.Afcyrus 10:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Er, no, it doesn't. New information can be very relevant to overturn a deletion. >Radiant< 11:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ellen McNamara
Why are you voting to delete the Ellen McNamara page? I live in Austin and she has a lot of viewers. I'm not trying to delete Canadian wiki articles am I? Austinavenger 13:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Thelma Terry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Thelma Terry.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 11:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thelma Terry.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Thelma Terry.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Rossrs (talk) 11:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
