User talk:Colbuckshot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is my open forum page. No cursing or swearing. No using the Lords name in vein. No Spanish (I can't read it and I don't intend to ever learn!) Nothing vulgar. Bloody and such won't be considered swear words. Failure to abide by this stuff will probably get your message edited or removed. I reserve the right to change my user talk page in any way I please.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Dmcs.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dmcs.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] DMCS

I was fixing various problems within [[Category:Lists of schools in the United States]]. I removed that category from this article because this article is about a school in the US, but it's not a list of schools in the US. I also removed the categories [[Category:Schools in the United States]] and [[Category:Private schools in the United States]]; they're not needed because they are supercategories of [[Category:Private schools in Iowa]].

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:User Antifeminist

A tag has been placed on Template:User Antifeminist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion T1.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Mike Beckham 01:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting user subpages

Hi,

I noticed that you moved some pages from your old account to nonsense titles and blanked/redirected them. I interpreted this as a request for deletion and, given your edit summaries, a request for the old account to disappear under the right to vanish. Please let me know if this is not what you intended, and I'll remedy the situation. In the future, you can request speedy deletion of your own subpages by tagging them with {{db-userreq}}. — TKD::Talk 23:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning Regarding three-revert rule

You have now reverted a section relating to the article Reconstruction three times. The section is properly documented by a reference to Eric Foner’s “Reconstruction” -- the leading work on that era. If you have a valid issue take it to the discussion page. Before you make any further reversions you should review WP:3RR since you are approaching a violation of the Wikipedia three-revert rule.

[edit] Common Era

Please don't change articles from using CE and BCE to using AD and BC. Either dating style is acceptable, but changing existing articles from one to the other is not.-gadfium 05:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:ATI Catalyst Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ATI Catalyst Logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
