Green Bay, Wisconsin OK now I'm curious. What's the city named after? -- Decumanus 21:48, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I was very skeptical, but it's actually in the article on the city. Check this Google search" [1]. Despite that, I think that article on the bay itself could just live at Green Bay. A good example is that of Dukes County, Massachusetts. The official name is County of Dukes County because of a mistake in the 1692 document establishing it, That's what appears on official documents, etc., but almost no one knows that, and it can be mentioned in the article, as opposed to the name, -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 21:56, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I'm not historian, but my best guess is some settlers were sitting around, and one of them said "Look at that green bay. Let's name the city 'Green Bay'." Similar humor to an old De Pere joke about two indians canoeing on the river; you can probably figure it out yourself. --Fo0bar 08:31, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image request

Since you're most likely from the Green Bay area, could you take a picture of the Green Bay East football field? The City Stadium article is crying out for an image. --Royalbroil 22:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I was born in Green Bay (and attended East High School), but moved away about 6 years ago. I currently live in Reno, Nevada. The City Stadium renovation occurred shortly after I moved away. I remember seeing a newspaper photo of it online a few years ago, but can't find it now. --Fo0bar 04:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, you couldn't use an image from a newspaper anyhow because of copyrights. I'll eventually get to GB and take a picture. Thanks anyhow! --Royalbroil 02:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this medical diagnostic image yours? , If so please say so, because there are potentially medical ethics issues in using such images. Sfan00 IMG 11:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I did. In the description. Though I'm not surprised you didn't notice this, since you then went on to tag screenshots I uploaded for speedy deletion for being non-Free. Screenshots of Free software; Free software I authored, as described in the images. Thanks. --Fo0bar 21:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Finnix-86.1-xen-3.0.0.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Finnix-86.1-xen-3.0.0.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 11:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Say, Foobar ...

Enough of this brouhaha over picture rights. How the hell are you doing? I had a patient the other day in severe pain and weakness with an MRI that didn't look half as bad as yours. Either you had (emergency?) surgery to take the pressure off your spinal cord, or you have been typing your edits with your nose. Wazzup? Sfahey (talk) 03:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Rock Desert BLM Eight Mile Sign Photo

Hi FoObar, The Black Rock Desert page is having some work done on it. I was wondering if we could get a different image than your photo of the BLM Eight Mile sign? Do you have an image of the Black Rock itself? Let's talk about this over on the Talk:Black Rock Desert page. Cxbrx (talk) 03:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
