[edit] Relaunching WikiProject Pittsburgh meetups
You are receiving this message because you are a member of the WikiProject Pittsburgh. In the past we have discussed a meetup idea - let's see if we can make it a reality during the summer. Please see this thread for more information.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome back
Hello ChrisGriswold, welcome back; glad to see you've returned. I am very pleased you're editing again. Acalamari 02:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- I do have a question though: do you want me to remove or reduce the protection on your user page? Please tell me because I thought you may want to be able to edit your own user page again. If you don't want the protection removed or reduced, just ask me if you want any edits done to the page and I'll gladly do them for you; I'm here to help. :) Acalamari 02:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, Acalamari. I would appreciate semi-protection for now. Also, congratulations on becoing an admin. You've turned into a fine editor. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 13:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've set your user page to edit=autoconfirmed, but I left move=sysop on, as I didn't see any reason for anyone to move your user page. Is that okay? Thanks for the congratulations too; I did take the advice you gave me in my first RfA, as well as all the advice you'd given me in months before. Acalamari 15:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Welcome. I've missed you. Alientraveller 10:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- You've missed me? Wow. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 13:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (film)
You're welcome to take part in a discussion on the talk page on the necessity of the two sections which you deleted. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 17:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks for starting the discussion. I already started one at Talk: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film); you're free to comment there as well. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 17:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Secret-Wars-Black-Costume.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Secret-Wars-Black-Costume.png. 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. Sfan00 IMG 14:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh Barnstar
I recently stumbled upon the "Pittsburgh Barnstar" (Image:Pgh-barnstar.png), which you contributed to Wikipedia:Personal_user_awards#General_awards. I lived in Pittsburgh for a year, and if there is one thing I associate with the city (besides the almost obscene friendliness of the population) it is steel. Shouldn't the star be steel, not brass or whatever yellow gold is used in the image? Just a suggestion. RideABicycle | Talk | 21:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I figured more people associate Pittsburgh with black and gold because we have three major sports teams that use those colors. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 02:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Judd Winick
Hi. There is a discussion about the Judd Winick article's length. Would you mind weighing in with your opinion on its Talk Page? Thanks. Nightscream 07:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Omega-level mutant
Hi, I know you're away but you seem to have some experience with X-Universe and dealing with one particular user who has a tendency to revert things without dicussing them. It would be most appreciated if you could join in on the dicussion and give your opinion on the matter. For now I though, I think I'll leave the page as it is and wait for some more users to give their opinion before doing anything . Still though it'd be most appreciated if you could join in and bring some order. ExodusCloak 20:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asking for advice re: edit war
An editor by the name of MagicalHopStep has been undoing my additions to the article, Wild Arms 5 with little or no justification, even when I asked for a discussion of the matter. What steps should be taken now? -Wilfredo Martinez 04:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
This is false. Said user made an addition that included some false and uneccessary information. I fixed the errors and shortened it. He is the one who undid my changes, and I undid this ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY. When he asked for reasons on the talk page, I gave them, but he chose to ignore them and threaten me-this can all be seen on the talk page. He also chose to ignore the other two individuals who agreed with me, and said he was reporting me, even though I have done nothing wrong.MagicalHopStep 05:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
The information is correct, you have not proved it wrong, despite my having asked you to several times; it also is not unnecessary as several other RPG game articles include extended plot sections, I asked you why this one should be the exception and again you failed to do so. Your "changes" were nothing more than the removal of most my text, you didn't even leave a reason why or allowed time for other people to see the original section, that's why I reverted it and asked you to please not do so again without explanation, which is exactly what you then did. Your explanations amount to "because that's not the way it's done" despite that obviously not being the case. And I did not threaten you, I explained that if you continued doing these things I would have to report you. The other individuals who posted after you are suspected of being sock puppets. Anyone can see the events for themselves by reading the talk page. -206.248.77.29 18:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A long overdue barnstar
Even though you haven't been as active in the comics-related articles as you used to be, I never forget your great contributions and what an outstanding job you always did in gently educating your fellow contributors, making well reasoned arguments, seriously contemplating the arguments of others, promoting projects guidelines and goals, and helping people resolve conflicts with a minimum of, well, conflict. I have generally stayed out of the barnstar dispensing business, but I got to thinking this week about all the people who have made my time editing at Wikipedia seem worthwhile. Looking back, I found that you really stood out in my memory of this time.
After two months of barely editing here because I was busy collecting data (including data at Comic-Con), I resumed editing and immediately bumped heads with someone who reminded me of all the reasons I had for not messing with Wikipedia. Others promptly spoke up for the three of us who'd been badmouthed by that someone, and that made me think, "You know, I really shouldn't wait until something that serious happens before I go about recognizing the people I regard well."
So here is my award to you:
 |
Comics Communication Barnstar | |
| For your outstanding efforts in speaking up for the truth, educating fellow editors, explaining project guidelines and goals, striving to resolve differences while keeping a level head, and generally facilitating communication about comics-related articles and between their contributors, it is my great pleasure to award you this Comics Communication Barnstar.

[edit] "User has a temper" userbox
Hey, I just wanted to say I love your "User has a temper" userbox. That is so cool, that I've borrowed it. Keep up the great work. Rocketmaniac 13:52, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question from a new admin
Hi, Chris. Don't know if you remember me, but I'm an admin now, and I wanted to ask you something. I remember once (hopefully correctly) that you blocked AceClassShadow for incivility. Although I greatly agree with the practice when sufficient warnings have been given, I was surprised by this, because it was the first time (and to date, the only time) that someone was blocked for this, as opposed to for vandalism. Does WP blocking policy provide for this, or were you merely taking the initiative in doing so? I'm just curious as what policy says about it, because I don't ever want to do that unless WP allows it. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. Nightscream (talk) 01:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Action Comics 837 - Luthor and the Memorials.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Action Comics 837 - Luthor and the Memorials.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chris, Trying to Contact You, Questions
Hey, I was wondering if I could get some guidance for working on the Pittsburgh wikiProject. I've tried to contact you over other mediums, as I don't think Wikipedia is very good in respect to person to person communication, or I just don't know my way around enough for it to be. Anyhow, try and get back with me. (SgtJonson (talk) 00:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC))
[edit] You advised me to "stay cool"
That's insane. I'm always cool. If you're advising me to be more gentle or less honest, that's a different and more specific request but never imply an emotional quantity to my actions. Ever. I don't do that. --Blue Spider (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No content in Category:Music of Pittsburgh
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Music of Pittsburgh, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Music of Pittsburgh has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Music of Pittsburgh, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
