[edit] Citation for Andrew Keen article

Hi there, I notice you were the creator of the article on Andrew Keen. There is one uncited statement there that I've traced back to the original version, namely "After the demise of audiocafe.com, Keen worked at Pulse 3D, SLO Media, Santa Cruz Networks, Jazziz Digital and Pure Depth." Would you be able to provide a source for this information? Thanks. Richard001 (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, the article is now fact tag free. Richard001 (talk) 22:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Report to WP:ANI

I wonder if you could look at this one: [1]. Thanks. Bearian (talk) 17:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism in grist article

Please be more careful when taking information from other sources. Your work establishing the Grist article is valuable, it meant I could look up the word, but in looking for more information I noticed you took at least one portion from the article you referenced either word-for-word or nearly so. Doing so degrades wikipedia in a number of ways. It is tempting to use a nice turn of phrase, go ahead when appropriate, just put quotes around it. Here, though, I wonder why you didn't just take the information and use it in your own way? As a language arts teacher I find many students wholly unclear on what plagiarism is and why it is a problem. Please do not take this as an attack, instead take a few minutes to make sure you know how to avoid plagiarism in the future. Note that this is not my view alone but the policy of wikipedia as a whole. --Fitzhugh (talk) 01:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Melle-falconetti.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Melle-falconetti.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexual transsexual talk page

I've redacted some of your comments to remove what i view as baiting language and disclosing information about another editor. If someone chooses to self-disclose elsewhere that is their business and we should extend all users that same respect. If they cross a line we need to remain civil and deal with it appropriately.

[edit] You may wish to be aware of a discussion currently happening on the Transsexualism talk page

Hiya, I thought you might want to throw in your opinion on this - recently (12 days ago) on the Transsexualism talk page, a new section has been added by someone who claims "I believe that, a small number of actual hermaphrodites notwithstanding, there is no difference between a transsexual and a homosexual except that the former are committed to reassigning their gender to match their sexual orientation. This is hardly an uncommon belief and one whose rationality is fairly self evident, why nothing in the article?", backed up by a second user 5 days ago. I've already stated my own views against this statement, and I just thought you may wish to add your views as well. Take care! Xmoogle (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Your talk page says "Please use the little + option at the top of the page for adding comments, and give your comment a title. Thanks!" - however, changes in mediawiki make that button now say "new section", you may want to update that. Or you may want to ignore my pedantism, feel free either way :) Xmoogle (talk) 22:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
