[edit] Re: Coordinates of Line Islands

I got this point from this NGA data set: http://gnswww.nga.mil/geonames/GNS/index.jsp Feel free to tweak + make it better though. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goldfishbutt (talk • contribs) 23:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First inhabitants of Kiribati

I've got Cinderellas of the Empire open in front of me, and on page 1 Macdonald writes that the future Gilbertese "reached the Gilberts perhaps some 4000 or 5000 years ago". However, the book is comparatively "old" (1982), so the hypothesis may be outdated. Interestingly, the government of Kiribati (on the website I linked to) seems to think there was no-one there prior to 1000 AD or later, which seems equally implausible. By contrast, Moarerei Kirion and Bureieta Karaiti, in a chapter of Kiribati: Aspects of History (p.11), write: "There is a growing amount of evidence to prove [...] that the Gilbert Islands have been inhabited for at least 3,000 years, and that the ancient origin of the migrants was Southeast Asia". That time scale would seem to fit with estimated times of discovery of other island groups. If you'd like to remove the hypotheses of Macdonald and of the I-Kiribati government, and reference Aspects of History (or any other source suggesting circa 1000 BC) instead, feel free. It would indeed seem more plausible. Aridd (talk) 22:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Paperback, reprint of 1998 (first printed in 1979). It's a collaborative work by 25 I-Kiribati authors, with a very brief foreword by Ieremia Tabai. Have you got any other published histories of Kiribati? I'm not aware of very many. Aridd (talk) 22:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Sounds like a wonderful idea. I wish you the best of luck with it! (And thank you for the link to Tungaru Traditions.) Aridd (talk) 23:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Howland Island Locator

A tag has been placed on Template:Howland Island Locator requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

As Wikipedia has grown, thousands and thousands of templates have been created. It simply isn't necessary to keep them around. If they are no longer used and no longer needed, they can be deleted. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I saw your post. I responded. You didn't like my response. What, exactly, do you want from me? I'm not having a protracted debate about the merits of template deletion; I've done it too many times, and I frankly don't have the energy to do it again. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Breaking point (psychology) - proposed deletion

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Breaking point (psychology), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Breaking point (psychology).

[edit] Breaking point (psychology)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Breaking point (psychology), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] quarterlife

Please leave it as a small "q". You're right, normally proper nouns use capital letters, but if that is how NBC types it, then that is how it should be. It is in the same fashion as the small "i" for i wireless Ctjf83talk 06:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

So are we discussing if it should be a capital or lowercase "q" or were you just informing me of other incidences? Ctjf83talk 07:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, I disagree with that MOS, and think it should go by how NBC writes it. Never-the-less, it's also not something I'm going to strongly defend, or even worry about now, so if you want to change it back, you can, and I will leave it Ctjf83Talk 17:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
LOL, well apparently the show was crap, cause it is already canceled, so I don't care what happens on the page now! Ctjf83Talk 19:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pge svg.svg

Thank you for uploading Image:Pge svg.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Hi Henry W. Schmitt!
We thank you for uploading Image:Flag of Sacramento CA.svg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.
