Peter Leeds

Hi, I deleted Peter leeds, with the lower cased L. Not sure how it slipped through but it was a spam/vanity piece that started: "As North America's leading expert on penny stocks, Peter Leeds is frequently contacted by top media organizations like the Associated Press, NBC, CBS, and CNNfn for his comments and views. He helps investors understand and benefit from penny stocks."

Definitely not the actor, so go ahead and create yours! --Steve _(Stephen) ^talk 02:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Etiquettes in Mexico

Hello! How are you! Yes the Chinos are part of the society, but the picture is only stating them, what about the other mexican people. The reason i change the picture is because it is giving a misleading information about Mexican etiquettes. The majority of Mexican people do not practice oriental etiquettes. Every body knows that, I'm simply using commonknowledge here. The oriental population in the country is relatively small compare to the vast majority of local born true blood Mexicans. We Mexican people practised European and native etiquettes. Our behaviours, way of thinking is totally different to the Oriental people. thanks!! --Ramirez 05:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Ellington

Hi. Oddly, the Ellington dab talk page redirects to Ellington, Northumberland talk, although the question must have been in the former instead. I wonder if the Talk redirect should be removed... -Mardus 03:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Stamp stock book

Thanks for withdrawing the Stamp stock book merge proposal. Consider the proposed work done. Cheers ww2censor 04:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. That's why I put it for discussion rather than just doing it. Always good to see if there's any good reasons for doing things differently. It's not as if there's any rush or anything! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 04:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate that and it is all done except we could do with some better stamp album images though I already added two but would prefer better ones. Cheers & thanks. ww2censor 04:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Ellington (typeface)

Hi Elipongo. I'm curious why you are using the typeface specimen for the face Andreas on the Ellington article's infobox. Thanks. CApitol3 13:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for pointing that out. I had implemented an infobox that the editor who had started the page had left commented out and hadn't looked at the images that were there closely. I've removed the erroneous images, if you've got correct ones, feel free to add them in! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 01:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

B. c. or born circa

Hello!

Well, my thought was just to use the same system as on most other year articles. Secondly, I didn't think it would cause any confusion, since there's a space between the letters and they occur before the year and the BC notion can be found after it, as in b. c. 300 BC. But, of course, if this system is undesirable, it shouldn't be used. /Ludde23 ^{Talk Contrib} 14:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, but I'm far from the only one watching those pages. You would be better advised to make constructive edits to the encyclopedia. For example, add some cited material to the criticism section of the Ameriprise Financial article. Or find some other article that interests you and add something constructive to it. Simple links to self-published attack sites do not have a place here. Thanks for your understanding. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 20:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Is there a list of recent edits or do admins just hit random article and surf around. Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :) 23:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is a list of recent edits. Firstly you can click on Recent changes in the column that's on the left side of every page. Also, as a registered user, you have what's called a watchlist, which keeps track of just the special pages you're interested in. Happy editing! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 23:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Is there a specific page like the new users page? Thanks,Thedjatclubrock :) 13:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

To see a list of recently created user accounts:

• Click on the "Special page" link in the left-hand column on any page
• Click on the "Logs" link
• From the drop down menu near the top select "User creation log"

Hope this properly answers your question. If it was something else you wanted to know, let me know. Cheers! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 13:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant is there a page similar to the new user's page that displays recent edits. Thanks again, Thedjatclubrock :) 15:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

You could mean five different things by that, I'll try to answer all five- please forgive me if I tell you something you already know.

1. To see ALL the most recent edits to ALL the articles on Wikipedia, click on the "Recent changes" link in the left hand column on any page.
2. To see just the recent edits to a particular article/page, click on the "history" tab at the top of the page.
3. To see recent edits on articles you have "on watch", click on the "my watchlist" link at the top right of your screen.
4. To see the recent edits of a particular editor, go to that editor's user page or user talk page and click on the "User contributions" link in the left hand column of the page.
5. To see your own recent edits, click on the "my contributions" link at the top right of your screen.

Hope that clarifies things. If not, try to explain again- maybe you'll have to use small words- I can be dense sometimes! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 15:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I meant #1, I didn't understand what you meant the first time. Thanks again, Thedjatclubrock :) 16:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. I see now that I didn't explain it very well the first time around, my apologies for making you ask three times!—Elipongo (Talk contribs) 17:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Why

Why did you take the pokemon pictures off my userpage? I asked Swirlex to put them there.Marvelzombies 20:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I have never edited your user page. The images were removed by The Raven's Apprentice (talk · contribs) here. I can, however, explain the reason they were removed. The images are all copyrighted and are the property of the person or company that owns the copyright. They can't be used without the owner's permission except under very limited circumstances. Using them on userpages is not one of those limited circumstances and the policy is very clear about that— Wikipedia could be sued in court if we use things that belong to others improperly. Hope this clears up your concerns. Cheers! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 20:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I see.Marvelzombies 21:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Template

Thanks Elipongo for helping me since day one.

If you really think the template is useless feel free to delete it. Although it was not intended to be a new stub type!!! Next time I will do more research or consult a admin etc. Sorry for any trouble If you have any questions contact me. I have no intent to vandalize wikipedia. Thedjatclubrock :) 10:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Is it ok that they deleted the the placeholder template tags from the 2 articles? Shouldn't that be done after the category is deleted? Thanks,Thedjatclubrock :) (talk) 11:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I see you read my comments on Valentinian's talk page. I think useless was a poor choice of words on my part, I termed it redundant in the deletion discussion and I think that's more accurate. I realize that you didn't really mean it to be a new stub type, but it essentially functioned as one even if it wasn't called that. As the saying goes, "If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, then it's a duck."

And I have to agree with them removing it from the articles to be replaced by the correct stub templates. The stub templates and their associated categories are used by many editors looking for stubs to expand; nobody but you really knew about your template and category which sort of defeats the purpose of the thing.

I was actually going to let you take some knocks and use it as a learning experience; that is until I saw the references to vandalism and blocks. Knowing you better than they do, I decided to explain things before it became a bigger problem. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with those explanations, but I needed to be blunt to forestall things getting worse.

When I first got to seriously editing around here, I often spent more time reading up on policies and guidelines than actually editing. I STILL look them up regularly to make sure I'm doing things right. For example, before I removed the speedy deletion tag from that song article, I read up on the policy to make sure I was allowed to do so and under what circumstances. Just like everything else on Wikipedia, these things can be changed sometimes from the last time you looked, so it always pays to look again. In the welcome template I gave you there are links to pretty much everything you need to know. You don't need to read it all at once— I sure didn't!— but you should look things up as needed. There are a lot of people here trying to work together to create the encyclopedia, and sometimes people can get upset at what other editors do. This won't be the last dispute you get into here, most everyone gets into them every once in a while. You should read the resolving disputes policy so you know how to proceed for next time.

Remember, be bold, but don't be reckless. Read that guideline I just linked to also, it's pretty important too.

Anyways, don't let this get you turned off to Wikipedia. As you learn your way around, things will go smoother. Lots of editors have much rougher starts than yours, believe it or not! Be well and happy editing! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 20:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem

I contacted Grutness and (S)he was ok with my explanation. The template will be deleted. Looking at it now it was just a vauge stub.(Just like the {{stub}} tag). As for the song, I should read some more before making new articles. Thanks for the help, Thedjatclubrock :) (talk) 01:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I really didn't understand recent changes. I missed it on my screen and when I clicked on your link it went to a help page.

The two big ones to read for articles are Notability and What Wikipedia is not.

As for finding the recent changes, I could put a link here but this conversation will automatically be archived in a month and besides the link is already on every single page of the encyclopedia. Here's how to find it:

• Scroll up to the very top of the page.
• In the top left corner of the page you'll see the Wikipedia logo— a globe made out of puzzle pieces with various scripts' letters on it.
• Under the logo, you'll find a number of links arranged into three groups.
• The first group is called "navigation" and it has five links under it. Move down to the next group.
• The second group is labeled "interaction" and it has seven links under it.
• The link "Recent changes" is the third link down in that group.

I hope I've helped you find it this time. Have a good night! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 03:01, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

rivers

I recently edited that the Amazon is now worlds longest river at 6,800km compared to Niles 6,695km which you seem to disagree with.On a recent expidition scientists discovered a new starting point in the south of Peru on an ice covered mountain called Mismi.Guido Gelli(director of science at Brazil institute of geography) confirmed this.The research was co-ordinated by the National Geographic Institute of Brazil.Having the Nile as longest is inaccurate and not very constructive of you leaving it as.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccee (talk • contribs) 18:53, 27 June 2007

Yes, I know. You might want to check the discussion at Talk:River#Amazon the longest?. It would have made things less complicated to start with if you had provided the citation yourself in the first place, but I found it myself and started a discussion because there doesn't seem to be perfect agreement as of yet.

new to this and wasnt sure how...dont seem to able to respond to that article anyway..—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccee (talk • contribs) 19:17, 27 June 2007

I understand. Reading some of the links that are in the welcome message I placed on your talk page should help you immensely. On this issue specifically, changes— especially ones that are likely to be controversial— need to provide a citation from a reliable source. The sources I found seem to indicate that there isn't consensus among geographers for this as of yet, so I put it to the article's talk page to see what the community thought was the correct course of action. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Thanks for writing and enjoy your time on Wikipedia. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 19:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I need your help

Hey there. I'm in a revert war with a vandal, who may or may not be using good faith. The article is Commerce Bancorp and the user is CAMDENBEER

Earlier this week he was adding a couple statemants that failed NPOV in my opinion. Recently he added information about the CEO resigning, which I incorrectly removed at first. Apon further research, I found that some of that information was correct, and I moved it to it's own section of the page under the header Commerce Bank Scandals.

The point is, this user wants to continue to edit war the NPOV statements like political pawn and whatnot, which clearly is opinion unless he can find a source that uses that exact phrase.

Please look into the article and the most recent edits. I admit incoorectly removing some information this morning, but I re-added it at the bottom of the page when I realized it was fact and was currently in the news.

Do whatever you feel needs to be done about the article and as always, I will respect your judgement.

RE: Disputed images

The following was posted in the disputed images page in response to your query:

The Howard Frank Archives has been in business for over thirty years as an image archive and supplier of images to major publications and other media outlets. We have aproximately 1 million images in our inventory. Mostly in the entretainment industry. The bulk of the collection was at one time the property of Louis "doc" Shurr, Mr. Howard Frank's cousin and a respected Hollywood agent whose clients included, Bob Hope, Kim Novak, Ginger Rogers, Burt Lahr, Betty Grable, Debbie Reynolds, George Murphy, Andy Devine, Broderick Crawford, Larry Hagman, Barbara Eden among many others.

We have been major contributors of images to major books on Hollywood personalities. Including:

Lucy : A Life in Pictures by Tim Frew and Howard Frank Archives/Personality Photos Staff

Dreaming of Jeannie: TV's Prime Time in a Bottle by Stephen Cox and Howard Frank

Ball of Fire, Lucille Ball By Stefan Kanfer

Loving Lucy By Bart Andrews and Thomas Watson

Lucy & Desi By Warren G. Harris

The "I LOve Lucy" Book By Bart Andrews

Elvis, A life in pictures By Tim Frew

Lucille: The Life of Lucille Ball By Kathleen Brady

The Century By Peter Jennings and Tom Brewster

You can do a search on Google, Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble to confirm our claims.

And many many other publications and magazines. Our clients include all major television networks such as CBS, ABC, NBC, E Entretainment, E!, PBS and others. Major publications such as TV Guide, People, US, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Globe, The enquirer, Reader's Digest, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Medical Journal, Scientific American, Ladies Home Journal and many others too numerous to mention here. We have never had our right to rent or use these images disputed. As with any large inventory such as ours, it is possible that we may inadvertently by accident have posted an image to which someone may claim intellectual property rights. In such cases we will be more than willing to comply in removing such an image provided the standard provisions are met as stated below by contacting our intellectual property rights department

Anyone who believes that their intellectual property rights have been infringed, must provide our Intellectual Property Rights Agent with a notification that contains the following information:

1. A physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other rights that have been allegedly infringed. 2. Identification of the copyright, trademark or other rights that have been allegedly infringed. 3. The URL or product number(s). 4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address. 5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent or the law. 6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right that is allegedly infringed.

You may reach our Intellectual Property Rights Agent, via email at sales@personalityphotos.com

Reply to Your reply has been poster on the other thread as well

• • • Since only the owner of the copyright can assign the license, you are asserting that you are yourself the copyright holder of these images- including a couple of images that seem could actually be in the public domain.
      
      Our images come in several categories. We have the negatives to most of the images in our inventory. In other cases we have the "Master Negatives" or in the case of other images the in-camera chromes from which they are printed. In some cases we have the only known original prints of the images. Until 1990 most studios discarded rather than archived massive amounts of imgaes literaly in the garbage. Thus most images taken during that period are lost to history except in cases where collectors like howard Frank through family contacts and friends acquired many of them. Being that we have the onl;y images in many of these cases we do claim copyright ownership of them. We have selectively uploaded imgaes of which we are sure of the provenance.
      

• • • Wikipedia has no interest in you removing images from your collection, but now that they are on Wikipedia's servers, Wikipedia has liability if a copyright holder should protest their being released under a free license.
      
      Wikipedia has no liabilty since they are neither the owners nor the source of the images, we are. We have a procedure as does Corbis or Getty for settling claims to Intelectual property claims as stipulated in my previous post.
      

• • • Wikipedia needs to be assured that you indeed hold the rights to these images.
      
      That does not present a problem, we can issue a standard open ended release of our images to Wikipedia as we do to television broadcasters, publications and other entities that use our images. They can keep it on file and forward copies to whoever "claims" to be the copyright holder of the image. All we need is an e-mail address where to send a signed PDF document release. Be aware that claiming to be the copyright holder and actually posessing such rights are two distinct things. Corporate lawyers will often issue threatening letters claiming intelectual property rights. They mainly do this to discourage legitimate use of images in an editorial or fair use context and in order to attempt to control the editorial context in which these images appear.. That is why we require as do the courts extensive documentation to back up such claims. After thirty plus years in this business we have yet to appear in court to dispute any of our images.--PersonalityPhotos 04:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Swirlex

I think I can clear up the situation with Swirlex. First of all, most of these people he just found when searching userspace to get ideas of things to add to his userpage. Marvelzombies, Dreamrelease2245, and I are people he personally knows. He's probably gonna kill me for telling you this, but I can explain the Zapsteel thing. He was Swirlex's original account. Then it got hacked and someone changed th password. He doesn't have e-mail, so there was no way he could retrieve the account. Think of Swirlex as the reincarnation, not sockpuppet, of Zapsteel. Supernerd 10 23:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC) P.S. My PA was an expiriment to see how long I could do if I were blocked. I didn't know that I could just ask a sysop.

Thank you for your note. Would you mind also explaining this? Thank you. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to know the answer to that as well, since the guy signed my name on his comment. And all of this still seems a bit sockpuppet-like to me. So, please, explain. -- -- Gravitan 22:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I've told you everything I can. I swear that I'm telling the truth. Supernerd 10 23:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't be too sure of that. What's bugging me now is that you claim to know about Zapsteel, yet I don't recall Swirlex ever telling you that. And you couldn't have gotten that info through E-mail, since (according to you) Swirlex doesn't have an account. Would you mind explaining that? -- -- Gravitan 23:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

As I previously stated, we know eacch other pesonally.Supernerd 10 21:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, but that still doesn't explain the things brought up on Swirlex's talk page. And if you're hiding something, keep in mind that we'll find out eventually, whether you tell us or not. So do you have anything else? -- -- Gravitan 21:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't. Also, to what things were you refering? Supernerd 10 13:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I mean the sockpuppet thing. Things like that are grounds for blocking, and Swirlex has yet to even attempt to explain what's been going on. -- -- Gravitan 19:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I can see why that would seem suspicious. I suppose you'll just have to assume good faith. That IP is suspicious though, and you should prabably report him. Supernerd 10 19:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Why did I delete the 'please add a free image' image?

It's tacky and draws attention away from the content of the article. A request for an image can be placed on the article's talk page. If a prospective image uploader doesn't know how to read a talk page, they probably shouldn't be uploading files in the first place. One 23:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

just 2 let u kno,i actually created this account b4 i was blocked,not wen i was blocked,but anyway how did u kno tht Compton G Playa was blocked ? Real Compton G 18:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

You're right and I'm sorry. I must have had my eyes crossed when I was looking at the logs. I have updated my note on Acalamari's talk page.

I was able to tell when you were blocked and when your accounts were created by checking their respective logs. There're links to those logs from your contribution history pages.

As for having multiple accounts, you really should read this policy regarding them.

Sorry again for the mistake on my part. Happy editing! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 19:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not very happy with this guy's edits: it seems like the only reason he's adding the content is so that he can get his site linked instead of blacklisted. The writing style leaves something to be desired, as well -- it's going to require a lot of cleanup.--SarekOfVulcan 00:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I had forgotten to reply to his latest email, a situation which I just corrected diff. I would tend to agree with your assessment of the situation, but I have been trying hard to WP:AGF especially since he has been discussing things calmly. If the pattern doesn't stop shortly, though, I would agree that stronger measures may be in order. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 01:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
