[edit] You now are a Nobel man/woman/otherworldly-creature
 |
Because of your display of great magical potential, and your latent ability of wizardy you never knew you had, The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake {Prophesize)has awarded you this delicious Great Stone of The Goat Cheese of The Arduous Bindage of Metaphorical Flax, for your great achievements in defeating tomfoolery and countering many nasty things. This stone is a gateway to higher, immortal enlightenment and the key to increasing your magical powers as a magician. But be warned, the goat cheese is a tempting treat to consume... should you consume it, then it will cease to give you immortal powers. Many a person has succumbed to the beast of desire, consuming the delicious cheese in a torpid rage. Egads! |
Thanks for keeping a cool head. I think you'd be a pretty good mediator. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake {Prophesize) 21:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC
- Thank you very much! I do try to make peace (I sometimes call myself "the cheesemaker" in reference to Life of Brian), but too often it doesn't work, which I find very stressful. Thanks for the help, the fromage, and the kind words! Karen 21:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] URL glitch and how to redirect
When I save the correct URL for Major characters in the works of Madeleine L'Engle in my off-Wiki blog[1], it cuts off after the L. I tried to set up a redirect at Major characters in the works of Madeleine L but the redirect isn't working. I've never done one before, and I really don't know how to do it. Help? BTW, same issue with Places in the works of Madeleine L'Engle, except that I haven't tried to set up a redirect for that yet. Thanks! Karen | Talk | contribs 22:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Mavarin. I've fixed the redirect. Take a look at the redirect/history if you want to see how it's done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:H2g2book.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:H2g2book.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 (talk) 17:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed. Oddly enough, I just remembered an hour ago that this image might not have a FUR yet. --Karen | Talk | contribs 04:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disemvoweling
I concur with your recent revision at disemvoweling, however, it was not well received by other parties. I took a different tack and tried to write a more balanced introduction to the censorship section. I've probably strayed mildly in OR in the process, but the original pretense of NPOV was too harsh to ignore. MaxEnt (talk) 04:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear that page gave you combat fatigue. It's not hard to see how that page has come to function as a grief magnet. I wasn't trying to drag you back into this, but merely affirm that you are not alone in your views. I'm content to regard my eradicated edit as a vote in the edit history for a more balanced approach, and leave it at that. MaxEnt (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spin and Marty
I'd say the DVD cover suffices, as long as that's ok with you. JGHowes talk - 05:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- On second thought, I can see where the reader's understanding would be enhanced by virtue of the explanation about the introductory segment, which is in b&w after all. I think 2 Fair Use images are allowable, so both could remain, if you agree. JGHowes talk - 05:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Francie (doll by Mattel)
Hi there!
I thought you'd like to know I am the one who made some changes and added information about Francie. (Changes listed as by 74.76.235.90) I've been a Francie collector for many years, run a group just for Francie collectors, and have a lot of information about her.
If you have any questions, or would like anything more, please let me know.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Summerstorydvd.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Summerstorydvd.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. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 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 non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 22:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Back to the Future timeline

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] James Thurber
So all my friends know that my great grandma was James Thurber's first cousin, but over the weekend my friends thought it be funny to google me. i have done this myself before, but no notable sites have came up that are directed towards me. So as they did this they decided to type in "Mark M... M..." and this waste of a blog showed up :
http://outmavarin.blogspot.com/...
And in this blog it mentions my name, Mark M. When they told me i did not believe them at first, but i went home and what was the first site that came up when i searched "Mark M. M."? Yours.
Obsessed much?
Mark M. (talk) 19:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC) Mavarin's Enemy
- This person's surname and place of residence have been removed from here and the blog itself for purposes of respecting his privacy. Apologies for any inconvenience, but I stand by my 2006 assertion that the name of a random, fairly distant relative does not belong in a Wikipedia article, due to notability and WP:BLP guidelines.
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Armofthestarfish.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Armofthestarfish.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
-
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
