From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

[edit] photos

Hi Lyo (again.) I saw you put a photo of Pamplona up -- awesome. Maybe we can get one with a waiter in? In any case, if you're in the neighbourhood, we need a photo of the Grolier Poetry Bookshop on Plympton Street. And I wonder (though it's a little before your time) can you find a photograph of the Tasty Diner? It was knocked down in 1998 or so. Sdedeo 02:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Deathrock page

I don't know that much about the topic itself, but the anon who added the links added them to many other articles as well, even to such vaguely related articles such as Subculture, so I reverted him. If you think the links are ok on some of the articles feel free to readd them. :-) --Conti|✉ 19:49, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Garment District

Hey there. I noticed you created pages on the Garment District store but you misspelt it (Garmet), so I've moved the pages to the correct spelling. You might want to fix the link on your user page. Corvine 20:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:4.22.151.195

Check out Special:Contributions/4.22.151.195. The majority of the user's edits are simple vandalism, but a few of them appeared to be "Trojan horse" type vandalism: subtle changes that look superficially valid but may well have no basis in fact. Based on the number of times the 'test' templates have been subst'd into User talk:4.22.151.195, I didn't think it was unreasonable to revert those edits. If you can confirm the information from the user's changes independently, feel free to readd it to the article(s). IceKarmaॐ 02:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

If you put your language templates in a table, the Userpage template wouldn't be so squished and nasty on 800x600. Like so:

Hope it helps. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 01:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Globe

Dear Lyo,

A colleague and I are working on a Boston Globe story about wikipedia, and we are looking for a few local folks -- we have talked to several already -- who like to contribute and have views about the project. Will you call me at 617 929-3263? Or you could also email me at mehegan@globe.com if you want to suggest a number where and time when I could call you. I'm thinking of a short chat on the phone. Also, it's possible that we would want to take your picture.

Thanks so much,

David Mehegan The Boston Globe

Awesome globe photos :-) +sj + 07:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red vs. blue

Hi, I saw am image of you on the facebook, followed the link to your userpage and read it, I see your goal here is to make all the red links blue, and I thought you might be interested to know that the last time I checked (~2wks ago) we had around 2 million unique red links. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 06:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging

Could you add copyright tags to your images? I'd assume they're at least GFDL or some free license but since at least one is being used in an article it really needs to have some free license on it. Thanks. gren グレン 17:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:JohnnySlut.jpg

A image you uploaded Image:JohnnySlut.jpg has no information on it's source or copyright status. Please find one for it before it gets deleted in seven days. Thanks! --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo Image:Maliceinleatherland.jpg

I noticed you uploaded Image:Maliceinleatherland.jpg and said that the photo was by Jenn Ryan. Is this you? If so, could you tag the image as GFDL (Or other suitable license) by putting {{GFDL}} on the image description page? If you're not Jenn Ryan, can you verify that she is willing to license the photo under the GFDL or similar license? Thanks for your contributions. Matt 18:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Globe

I'm normally not a big fan of paper newspapers, but I do recommend you pick up a copy of the Boston Globe today, or at least the front page. :-) --AaronSw 22:44, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I thought I recognized your picture from that Boston Globe piece, but I couldn't remember where. Then today I figured it out: the mohawk article! I got interviewed for the same piece, but all I got was a lousy quote :( Oh well, maybe it's because I don't live in Boston. Anyway, just thought I'd drop you a line. Peace out.

[edit] template:user fsm

I'm calling out a posse, to fight for freedom of choice, to fight all those who think that only their opinion's right, template:user fsm was speedy deleted by an administrator without any cause or even discussion, I'm therefore putting it up for undeletion since people have put a jihad out against opinions in userboxes. As you were one of many people using the template, I'm trying to rally you into the posse. If you think the template should be returned to active status, put in a vote at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#template:user_fsm. Janizary 04:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random stuff

You seem to like changing your hairstyle a lot as evidenced by the mohawk page (I was there b/c I'm about to give myself a trihawk). I wanted to see the userpage of the person who took (and starred in) those photos, so yeah. Ma Vie En Rose is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I was looking at the page and if you have the movie (I don't, I only rented it) it might be good to put an extended plot summary in. Oh, and if you don't want to answer, it's totally cool, but are you a guy a girl or other? In the pics you looked like a girl, but your page says you're gay (not lesbian), and your into ma vi en rose and androgyny so I was just wondering. I used to get mistaken for a girl all the time cause I had long hair so I know what it can be on the border of gender identities. The Ungovernable Force 06:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Something awful

Hey Lyo, saw you on the mowahawk article, and on the talk page, decided to get you started on the weekend web article. Jackpot Den 23:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Kominas

"actuandingly"? Trying to figure that one out... astoundingly? I'm tempted to vote keep on this one since I'd actually heard of the band via Michael Muhammad Knight and think their song "Rumi was a Homo" is pretty amusing, but I just don't know if it meets the notability standard. Likewise the Taqwacore article, which I cleaned up a bit, but didn't want to WP:BITE by AFDing. MMK's novel and MMK are notable, I'm not sure why punjabifire didn't start by adding them. Esquizombi 03:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I didn't know if it was a portmanteau of actuarial and astoundingly (which would have fit) or what. Points for creative misspelling! I had been thinking about adding him and/or his novel so maybe I'll get on that (have you read it?). Esquizombi 13:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Oho, you're a step ahead of me! Esquizombi 13:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I enjoyed it! It has a lot of arabic and islamic terms in it but doesn't have a glossary, so you might be using WP to help read it if you're not too familiar. Esquizombi 13:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't expect The Kominas would be kept, but it was. I can't really add more to that article, but I'll try to add more to The Taqwacores since I read it again recently. Esquizombi 23:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] transclusion

Sorry to drop in, but:

I'll take my life into my hands and hit you with the boilerplate. ;-)

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Cheers, keep up the good work and happy editing. Lectonar 13:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So Inspiring

Oh wow man I saw your picture on your page, you look like such a freethinking individual. I love the way you posted it everywhere so we can all constantly look at your quirky, bohemian, freethinking, chai tea drinking image everywhere we go. sorry, I dont mean to ramble, its just, your hair is so nonconformist, non stereotypical and original, it really broke the mold and inspired me to question my beliefs. Very postmodern, to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.162.172.83 (talk • contribs)

Sarcasm, I guess... This guy could at least have the courage to contribute under an account instead of anonymously. TheJabberwʘck 23:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

now whats all this talk about about cowardice and sarcasm??? JEEZE, i was just trying to tell lyo how much i love the way his whole androgynous thing really made me question gender roles. since when is it cowardly to give someone a much deserved compliment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.162.172.83 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JohnnySlut.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnnySlut.jpg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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 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. Nilfanion (talk) 00:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Fauxhawklyojune2006.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Chelsea girl photo

I was browsing around and noticed the photo you took and uploaded for the Chelsea girl article. It's a great photo, and I know I've seen it before, but I can't for the life of me remember where. We live fairly far apart, so it probably wasn't in person. I'm thinking that a real-life friend of mine showed me the same photo a few months back. Any ideas, or am I just crazy? *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 05:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:JohnnySlut.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnnySlut.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voodoo Church

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Voodoo Church, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. J Milburn 21:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:JohnnySlut.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnnySlut.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 01:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Tripp NYC

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tripp NYC, by 24.4.253.249 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tripp NYC is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tripp NYC, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
