Hi, I noticed that you want to move the page I created: Ancient's Healing Device (Stargate). After reading your comments, I think you are right and agree. The only problem, is that sevral pages already redirect to it. There might be double redirects. Just something to watch out for. If you need help with anything, just ask. Tobyk777 04:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

After reading your and that other guy's comments on its talk page, I reread what I wrote and. The article is not about technology in general. It's about this specific device. This is about a piticular gadget. This article isn't about their supernatural abilities. It's about the device. Their abilities should probably go on their main page. I just moved it and fixed all double redirects. So I saved you the trouble. I also posted this comment on its talk page. Tobyk777 00:42, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

Edits like the one you did recently on the Farscape article([1]) should probably be flagged as minor, as it's just a grammar issue. That way we know that it's just something grammatical. Smeggysmeg 02:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jacob still has his article

I posted this in the talk page after your comment, but I wanted you to know that the Jacob Carter article still exists. Lady Aleena 21:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stargate

It looked like you removed a fair bit of content and without an edit summary, well, I'm sure you can realize what happened. The template is basically automatic for me. Sorry if you took offense Tawker 04:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DNA Resequecner

Hi, on the wikiproject Stargate page you wrote that Stargate SG-1 is under peer review. It isn't. The only two articles under review are Stargate (device) and DNA Resequencer (Stargate).

I would have to say that the organization and quality of the DNA article is very good, as good as many FAs. While yes, your point is valid that is not of general interest, look what article appeared on the main page today. If that can be featured DNA resequencer can. As I stated above it is currently under peer review. Do you really think it's not good enough to become an FA? I think it is, it's one of the most comprehensive articles, and probably the largest source on the topic in existance. Why do you think it isn't worthy. Mabe I could fix it?

[edit] Spelling

I noticed that you have been criticizing my spelling recently. I just wanted you to know that I am a horrible speller and I admit it. There is no need for more criticsm. I spell as well as i can. Too bad there is no spell check on WP. Tobyk777 00:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 64.88.86.3.

64.88.86.3. is the address of youth services (read: teenager) computers at the Troy, Michigan Public Library. In other words, the vandalism probably won't occur again. Lockesdonkey 22:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

This address is used by ALL schools in Macomb county and all public libraries (or at least most) in Macomb county, which is 1,000's of computers.

[edit] DNA Resequencer pics

Hi, I am trying to add pictures to DNA Resequencer as you sugested. The only fair use pic I have found so far is This one

I cant figure out how to get onto wikipedia. do you know how? Tobyk777 20:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your statement of opinion on Templates-for-deletion

Your statement on Templates-for-deletion related to the deletion of the religion-related userboxes was a very positive statement about Wikipedia and contributors to it. Thank you; I liked what you said. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:53, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Political interps of the Wizard of Oz

Sorry -- that kind of thing looks like vandalism, and since you didn't cite your source (and it came from an IP address), I just assumed it was in fact vandalism. It would help if you did cite the source. You might also consider just adding it to the talk page, though I think citing the source would make it work fine, though it's up to you. Hope this helps. I'll remove the warning from that IP address. Sorry for that! ~~ Meeples 03:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seal of the United States Senate

There's been some back and forth edits on what graphic should be used as the Seal of the United States Senate in the United States Senate article. In order to resolve the disagreement, I'm trying to start some discussion on the issue on the article's talk page. Since you're one of the editors that has edited the Senate article in regards to the Seal graphic, I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you want to weigh in. Thanks. - Walkiped ^{(T | C)} 06:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ???

I did not revert that change. Why are you talking to me? Will (Talk - contribs) 00:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I now understand what happened. The diff you provided didn't have an edit summary. So you forced me to rely on the diff to decide which edit was vandalism and which wasn't. Martha Stewart has been one of the most vandalized pages today. I probably misread the diff I saw (using popups by Lupin, both the before and after parts get merged into one column). My apologies.

For more tips on how to avoid being mistaken for a vandal, please see my user page. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:42, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] fair use in portals

there is currently a proposed amendment to include fair use images in the portal space at Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals2. I have decided to contact you because you expressed interest in this topic in the past. Please know that I am contacting all editors who partipated in discussions regarding this at WT:FUC. If you feel I contactd you in error, or just don't care :) please ignore me. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 22:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be very low:

Edit summary usage for Lockesdonkey: 11% for major edits and 32% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 22 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 15:14, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parliamentary Chamber infobox

I see a disagreement between CJ and Lockesdonkey about creation of a new infobox in the Australian Senate article. I thought the infobox was quite a good assembly of information dispersed throughout the article (some of it not easily found). I note Lockesdonkey's observation that these are used in other legislature pages, though the format is not always standard (compare Bundestag with Scottish Parliament for example). Unless WP has a policy that an infobox should not duplicate information in an article in any way (in which case, there seem to be a lot of info boxes that need removing!), i would favour its retention. I am posting this to both user pages, reverting the removal of the box for now, and await discussion at the Senate talkpage. hamiltonstone 23:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images in the userspace

I have removed the image Image:Beatles - Abbey Road.jpg from your userspace User:Lockesdonkey/Userboxes/ComeTogether. Please be aware that images that are clamied as fair use have a restriction in location:

From the policy page Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria

9. Restrictions on location. Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add __NOGALLERY__ to it; images are linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)

Placing non-free images in the userspace like you did on User:Lockesdonkey/Userboxes/ComeTogether is a violation and has been removed. Please do not restore this image without consultation. Thank you. — Κaiba 17:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Corned beef

Hi there. Thanks for your recent addition to Corned beef. It's an interesting anecdote, but one that really needs to be sourced - as it is it falls under the heading of original research. If you can find a source for the information, please feel free to re-add it. Cheers, -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 08:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
