[edit] George W. Bush

I removed the link from that page because I felt that after reviewing the wiki that it was very biased. That's my view anyway.

Be Bold and put the link back in, if others remove it then you should go to the discussion page and give reasons to add it to the article. I won't remove it again.

Just take care to not edit war. This is very very important.

And, welcome to Wikipeida :) Regards, —-- That Guy, From That Show! (esperanza) 2006-05-15 02:56

[edit] Citing sources

See Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style for a few examples. On that page we are so far basically just inserting: <ref>{{cite web| url=http://urlofwebsite.com| title=Title of website| accessed=October 9, 2006}}</ref> after the information to be cited (that is, in-line with the text). If you do that it will automatically show up at the end and with a numbered footnote. So if I were citing CNN.com for some fact, here, I would do the following.[1] That should show up as a little footnote number here, and if you had a <references/> tag somewhere on the page you would see the actual citation. --Fastfission 21:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Ancient Apostolic Communion

The page on The Ancient Apostolic Communion is under my userpage because the original article was deleted for being non-notable. So in an effort to keep the article alive I moved it to my userpage where we are allowed to have such articles without fear of them being deleted. --Kf4bdy talk contribs 20:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I see. Its a shame, as it is an interesting article. Falconus|Talk 22:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign

Hi,

How are you?

I am proposing that the following article: Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign be deleted. There is no proof that this campaign led to the recording of Busted Stuff, or was acknowledged by the DMB or RCA people. While the campaign was mentioned in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, I don't think that is grounds enough to have a separate article. Please comment on the [[Talk:Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign|Talk page]]. Thanks. Milchama 17:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I know nothing of this Lillywhite stuff, and therefore do not want to become involved in this kind of thing. Sorry, Falconus|Talk 18:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Launching" tags.

I've merged the three tags - {{launching}}, {{launching24}}, and {{launchingX}} into one template at Template:Launching (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). The time can be changed using the variable "|time = X" where X is the period of time, with units. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 00:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, thank you. --Falconus|Talk 00:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
The tag is currently in use on Space Shuttle, Space Shuttle program, STS-116 and Space Shuttle Discovery. It is also present on Minotaur rocket and I am about to add it to Ariane 5.
When it goes, just add {{current spaceflight}} to the four pages (if I don't beat you to it), and add {{in space}} to the crew pages. Thanks, --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 00:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I'll check when I get back, but I am going to try to see the space shuttle in flight, and I have homework to finish. If you (or someone else) hasn't done it by the time I get around to it, I'll put the tags in. Thanks, Falconus|Talk 00:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, do you mind if I change the "in" to "within" in that template?--Falconus|Talk 01:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Done. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 01:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks.Falconus|Talk 01:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Harry Potter

Hello, Falconus. Over at WikiProject Harry Potter we're trying to compile a list of active participants. Your name, along with all other project participants, has been placed on the inactive list. If you'd like to get involved again, please place your name back on the active list, and take a look at the project talk page for the latest happenings.

[edit] {{Count}}

This template you created appears to be orphaned. It says its under construction, but hasn't been edited in 4 months. I'm considering deleting it. Would you object? - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 12:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Nah don't worry. I just think it should be deleted now as it is, but feel free to create a final version in the future. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I've nominated the template for deletion. Feel free to join the discussion. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :)Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 01:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Apex High School

I removed the cougar because it was irrelevant to the article. If it was a picture of the school's logo or mascot it would have been fine, but a random picture of a wild cougar has absolutly nothing to do with the school. Hopefully that clears it up, and if not tell me and I'll try to make it have more sense. Thanks --Mr.crabby (Talk) 22:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you have a digital camera, you can always take pictures of the school and upload it onto Wikipedia. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 22:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
No problem. With all that being said, the article does look very good. You've done great job with it! --Mr.crabby (Talk) 22:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Falconus/Sandboxes/Sandbox

A tag has been placed on Falconus/Sandboxes/Sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion G2.

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. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Did it myself once. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Not really, but I think you have to put the code on a subpage or something. There are plenty of template gurus around here that can help you, though. They had to help me with the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit templates. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I am not a template guru, but I did respond with a suggestion on my talk page. I like to keep all of the comments together if possible. Royalbroil 23:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete

On Image talk:Tiesto elements of life tour.jpg the only text is "hi. tiesto . i love you. i am from iran," but you said that there was no reason to delete the article. Since this looks like random nonsense to me, I am just curious why? I am not saying that the page shouldn't exist in the future, but for the time being it seems fairly pointless to me. Thanks, Falconusp t c 04:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I know, but it is a talk page, not an article, and there really is no criteria that requires this comment to be removed. It is harmless, and useless, both. We make a point to not delete user comments on talk pages unless they cause disruption, violate WP:BLP, or otherwise fit criteria requiring removal. JERRY talk contribs 04:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
