[edit] Images
Hi. If you think an image should be removed from an article or is inappropriate, it's a good idea to explain why on the talk page. Rather than just removing the link to an inappropriate image from an article, list it on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion (or, depending on the case, related pages as appropriate such as Wikipedia:Copyright problems or Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images). Cheers, -- Infrogmation 23:36, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] On the Catholic Church of Wikipedia
As you have described yourself as a Catholic, I thought I would alert you as a co-religionist to your opportunity to delete the particularly offensive article, Wikipedia:Catholic Church of Wikipedia.--Thomas Aquinas 22:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A Message to Pro-Life Wikipedians
The section "Foetal Pain" (Fetal Pain) has been deleted from the Abortion article. Could you help restore it? If you would like to see what was deleted, go to my talk page, scroll to "Fetal Pain," and click the provided link.--Thomas Aquinas 22:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jesus
Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 22:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pro-life Alliance
The article Pro-Life Alliance has been nominated for deletion. Chooserr
[edit] Gay rights in Iraq
You listed yourself as Roman Catholic so I thought I might bring this unencyclopedic total POV pushing article to your attention. It is currently up for deletion here. Chooserr 05:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ham Radio!
Please see the discussion at Category talk:Amateur Radio Operator for a discussion on how to identify Hams and Ham personalities on Wikipedia. Steve Kd4ttc 02:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Societal attitudes towards homosexuality
Hey, thanks for retitling the section in Societal attitudes towards homosexuality. Its still not perfect, but its a lot better than the one I came up with. -Seth Mahoney 02:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not remove cited content
It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Daisy chain. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Userbox Public Transit
According to Wikipedia:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anti-gay slogan
I edited your contribution to anti-gay slogan. I don't think it lost any of its original meaning, but you might want to check. As per my comments on Talk:Anti-gay slogan, it is not clear given your parenthetical statement how you see normatives to differ significantly from natural law, so I removed that and restructured the sentence. If you think it is important to return that removed bit, you might consider being more clear and citing it to a philosopher or church scholar. Additionally, if you are making a claim about the belief structure of the Catholic Church, you need to cite a statement by the Catholic Church where some church official or a church scholar makes that claim. See WP:CITE and WP:RS if in doubt about a given source's applicability. -Smahoney 04:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minnesota meetup
A meetup of Wikipedians in Minnesota is proposed: please stop by the discussion page if interested. Jonathunder 23:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Ladispoli-Stemma.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg
Thanks for uploading Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg. 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 21:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Homofascism
Homofascism, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Homofascism satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Homofascism and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Homofascism during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. AvruchTalk 05:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disruptive edits
You appear to be engaged in an edit war. Please stop reverting without joining the discussion page. The person with whom you are engaged in the edit war HAS started talk page discussion. Please, wikipedia works through community collaboration, and when you make controversial edits without discussing them, it is not productive.
Also, you are abusing popups. It is never appropriate to use popup reverting to revert good faith edits.-Andrew c [talk] 15:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. I came here to say much the same thing. Jake, please discuss the issue on the Abortion-related violence talk page. It would be greatly appreciated. If you can find reliable sources, then there isn't much to argue about. Until that time, the material is inappropriate for the article as it constitutes an unreliable/OR contribution. Phyesalis (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] KSirtet
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article KSirtet, 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.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? B. Wolterding (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
