[edit] Verify

--M@rēino 01:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


  • Okay, but this wasn't thought up in one day, it's been going on for a while. Gah. Are you serious, i have to write a book? wow.

[edit] OK, keep it under control.

I now know that:

  1. you are a grade nine at Lisgar, since you know (and apparently mock) Hongwei; I quote from Lisgar Collegiate Institute: "Lisgar's badminton team is one of the strongest, if not the strongest in the city, wkth the exception of Hongwei."
  2. you are on the badminton team
  3. you like Lisgar

Therefore, I , Nevin Hotson (Grade 10 at Lisgar) resolve to determine who you are. Your enthusiasm for Lisgar is appreciated, but poking fun at Hongwei on a Wikipedia article does not reflect well on these hallowed halls... --Nucleusboy 18:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: I now suspect that you may be either Adam Wang or Hongwei himself. Also, how can I become involved in the "Hongwei movement" and meet the messiah? --Nucleusboy 18:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Haha. Nevan the Hongwei movement is like Buhhdism, but with Hongwei. And he told me to put the thing in the badminton, cuz its true, so I complied.

Thanks for your contribution, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out! Yanksox 16:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

What? How was it not neutral... Whatever okay okay okay.


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Good 1.7.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Good 1.7.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. feydey 16:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I created this one too... Someone tell me what I have to do so that I don't get these messages anymore?

You need to say who took the image, where, the date etc. You put that info on the image page. Also, I don't know if these images are appropriate for Wikipedia - we only need pictures of notable people (not school teachers). Do you have permission from these teachers to release their images?--Commander Keane 16:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes I do. I edited Lisgar Collegiate Institute, at school in computer class, and I had taken some pictures of teachers for a project earlier that day. I asked the teachers if I could upload their images and everything, so they don't mind.

[edit] Helpme

Okay. people are somehow getting my password and doing stuff. How do I change my password? I don't vandalize... it's other morons who take my account and screw things up. Can i swear on this page? help me out peopl. By the way, the story of Wang Tian Yi the Great is partially real... but w.e

[edit] Steven Gao

I'm still not convinced he's an encyclopedic subject, but I think I one-paragraph section on the high school's article is reasonable. —C.Fred (talk) 02:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

"Rather large news"? The first I heard of it was the article, and I'm sure dozens of incidents similar to this happen each year. The fact that it was a valedictorian made it uncommon but not particularly notable. —C.Fred (talk) 02:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for deletion on the grounds that it is a non-notable incident, and the salient points are already covered at the high school's article. The AfD discussion page allows for debate about the article's future...as you've already discovered. :) —C.Fred (talk) 02:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legal threat

You said: "Hello. My name is Mubote. Registered user 92 (talk · contribs) is my good friend and neighbour. He has uploaded many images, with most of them being deleted by you because you assume their copyright statuses are not valid. The only problem is, even after you warned him, after he changed the status to a fair use one, you still deleted them. Though the above message is inappropriate and unpleasant, I am sorry to say that it is true. Thank you for your patience. Have a lovely day. PS. I'm not attacking you, I just thought that the title above was funny. Also, you said on, Image:Byrds-NotoriousByrdBrothers.jpg, "Please talk to the Wikipedia Lawyers," or something. I would like to talk to the wikipedia lawyers. My client, Registered user 92, has been blocked unfairly and is very hurt. I thank you again."

Because of your legal threat, you have been blocked indefinitely. This is not a punitive measure against you but it is Wikipedia policy (see WP:LEGAL) that you not make any further edits until your legal action is complete. I believe WP:LEGAL will give you all the information you need. Thank you. --Yamla 21:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


I would like to say that I made no legal threat whatsoever. First of all, if my sentence, "I would like to talk to the wikipedia lawyers," is a legal threat, it was provoked- with the sentence, "Talk to the Wikipedia Lawyers." This was written by Yamla, who blocked me on the page Image:Byrds-NotoriousByrdBrothers.jpg. I realize that it was not a threat to me, Mubote, but my friend Registered User 92 was talking through me. However, I still agree with what he says. While I know that my history has included some vandalism, this was done by my cousin who stole my account. He has apologized, and I personally (sometimes) fixed the problems. I think that the unclear nature of my "legal threat," and my relatively good history should allow me to be unblocked. Thank you. --Adam Wang 21:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

You made a clear legal threat. "I would like to talk to the wikipedia lawyers. My client, Registered user 92, has been blocked unfairly and is very hurt." Please do not make any further edits to Wikipedia including to this talk page. Otherwise, this page will be protected. Additionally, under no circumstances are you to set up a new user account to get around this block. --Yamla 21:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


I didn't even write the complaint! Registered user 92 is at my house right now... You told Registered user 92, to "talk to the wikipedia lawyers.." he was just calling your bluff. This is my account, but Registered user 92 just wanted to continue arguing his case. It is unfair that I should be blocked. If I made a legal threat, it was unintentional. I am 14, I do not have ready access to an attorney. I only contribute good things to wikipedia, when I vandalized "It was my cousin," and I fixed the problem. Finally, not many people, including me, know about this "Legal Threat Rule." As I said earlier, if I made a legal threat, it was unintentional. Thank you.

If you have decided not to pursue any legal action, please state, "I have decided not to pursue any legal action in this matter." You will have to sign your statement by appending --~~~~ to your statement. That is, two minus signs and four tildes. I will then reinstate your account. --Yamla 21:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


"I have decided not to pursue any legal action in this matter." --~~~~ --Adam Wang 21:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

You have been unblocked. --Yamla 21:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eating Manatees

Do you have any sources you could add to this article? Gazpacho 02:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC) Yea. I wasn't done. Just saving in case my pc crashed.

Anyone realise this is a prank that Adam is doing to annoy a classmate? Come on wiki mods....eating manatees? Can someone realise the immense stupidity there? Tho it is quite funny...someone move this to uncyclopedia THIS ISN"T A PRANK UNKNOWN PERSON. I HAVE VERIFIABLE SOURCES. SEVERAL PEOPLE AGREE. GO AWAY.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Manatee Chart.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Manatee Chart.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eating Manatees

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Eating Manatees article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! --Yamla 03:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You said: "You said my stuff on eating manatees was copied or something... i wrote everything myself. I am sure that the one image i borrowed was not copyrighted, and i made the other one myself. I think it's fair if i'm allowed to repost the article. If you have found some areas of copyrighted text, tell me and i'll get rid of it."
It is irrelevant now, the article has been deleted twice. You are not permitted to recreate it. However, I did find at least some of the text was directly copied from other websites. I noted which website in the copyvio notice on the article itself. --Yamla 14:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Why can't i recreate it? Isn't this censorship? You don't help people, you just tell them their problems. --Adam Wang 17:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not the place for joke articles. Also, Wikipedia is not censored but nevertheless, pages deleted according to Wikipedia policies (as your page was, twice) are not to be recreated without following Wikipedia's Undeletion Policy. --Yamla 17:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


But this isn't a joke article. I know that Wikkipedia likes verfiabiltiy over the truth, and I have both. --Adam Wang 17:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't take it up with me, I didn't delete either of your articles. WP:UNDEL shows you how you can request it be undeleted. --Yamla 17:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Manatee Bone.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Manatee Bone.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 14:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eating Manatees on deletion review

You said: "An editor has asked for a deletion review of Eating Manatees. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. I can remake. Tell me if i copy vio."

I did not close the discussion or speedy-delete that article. I strongly advise not recreating the article, though, unless you can provide specific citations for each part (see WP:CITE, WP:RS, and WP:V). Note that it will be your responsibility to prove that it is not a joke article. --Yamla 13:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Very well, I will try my best. But please, don't yell at every single tiny mistake, but try to help? Thanks --Adam Wang 01:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foaly

Excuse me, but the Neutrino Series Guns aren't Opal Koboi's inventions? I think that only the 3000 series is made by Foaly but the 2000 is made from Opal... is't it? Filnik Metal 4ever!!! 11:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


  • It doesn't actually say in the book, but if Foaly made 2000, he wouldn't let Holly use a 3000 in the fourth book. He says something like, "More power, less energy," thus, prasing the new neutrino. It only makes sense that the gun's series is Foaly's. Opal has her wings, that's all. Go here --Adam Wang 01:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eating Manatees

You said: "Hi. I remade Eating Manatees, could you please check it over, to see if I have screwed up. If I have, please please please, give me a chance to fix it. Thank you."

Sure, but can you point me to the undelete vote? I can't find it anywhere and without that, the page must be speedily deleted. --Yamla 04:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
The text is still a blatant copyright violation. You must write an article in your own words, not simply take someone else's article and make changes. Even copying just three words is, if I remember correctly, enough grounds for action. Seven words in a row most certainly is. I'm not blocking you for your copyright violation or your recreation of the article without going through WP:UNDEL but please don't do this again. --Yamla 04:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Just to be clear, the reason I'm not blocking you for either is because of the following. Copyright is notoriously hard to get right and you made a good-faith effort not to violate copyright. It's just nowhere near sufficient. I can tell you horror stories about writing essays at my university but I'll spare you. And there's a good chance you didn't know about WP:UNDEL. So please don't think I'm coming down hard on you. I'm simply pointing out where you went wrong, not trying to punish you or anything like that. --Yamla 04:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
You said: "Here it is. Here Number 44. I wasn't done the article, i was fixing it. Is there a way for me to fix copy vio, go to sleep, and continue the next day? Can I do that on notepad, when i'm done, upload it? Thank you."
Oh, my apologies then. However, you can't really fix the copyright violations. You really need to start from scratch. Otherwise, it is just too hard to avoid using the same wording and even the same order of information. For example, rewriting every single word but keeping the content in the same order may be considered plagiarism. You certainly could write the article in notepad or in a word processor, it should be fairly easy to copy over to a new article. --Yamla 16:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Right. Thanks. I"ll start from scratch. But can i quote them? Like the guy hunted manatees in the 60's, and is writing it on the web. If email him or something, or just write, FROM THE WEBSITE "website", wrote that, "blah blah blaH?" Thanks., --Adam Wang 17:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeap, a limited quantity of direct quotes from a verifiable source is fine. --Yamla 18:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrino

Well, I have read the series in italian (so I dunno the all names also in english...) but I remember that in the second book, the Goblin's Band (in italian is "mazza sette" but I dunno what is in english...) is going to defeat the LEP because his weapons (of the LEP) are KO because Opal Koboi has added a chip in the guns that destroy them..... isn't it? Filnik Metal 4ever!!! 18:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Bo'... ok... I hope that isn't a mistake... hi, Filnik Metal 4ever!!! 20:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

it isn't. --Adam Wang 22:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bots

You asked: "Can i get my own bot that does stuff? I would like to call it Mu-Bot. hehe. It could check stuff for me that I usually mess up. Thanks Please read my addition to the above post on eating manatees"

You can get your own bot but you would have to write it yourself. This is not an insignificant task and is one I don't know anything about. --Yamla 01:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Let us assume i could write it. Could i write it to check spelling? THere are bots taht do that, but i want one. --Adam Wang 01:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Books on manatee meat

Hi, I saw you mention that you have books that talk about eating manatees and I was just curious as to the authors and titles, since those would make better sources than the websites that are up there now. I would like to check them out. Thanks. Recury 03:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

yea, i returned them t o the library. i'll get em back. They were mainly on carribean history and wierd foods. --Adam Wang 16:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

You said: "I thought you told me i was fixing the copy vio properly! Please don't delete, i'm still working on it. Please . Thank you."

I'm not the one saying it should be deleted. You are free to cast your vote in the AfD and note that you are working on fixing the copyvios. --Yamla 20:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. ARe u against me or with me?--Adam Wang 20:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not picking sides.  :) I strongly suspect the article could be incorporated into the main article on manatees. And it definitely has problems at the moment. But I'm currently refraining from casting a vote. --Yamla 20:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
If i incorporate, do i get a new section, like a heading, or just a sentence. ? --Adam Wang 20:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manatee

Why do you keep reverting my edits on Manatee? On the Manatee Meat deletion discussion page, I was allowed to keep a section on Hunting Manatees. --Adam Wang 21:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC) Sorry pressed minor edit by accident. Don't know if you'll get the big "You have Messages Thing..." Yea...

Thanks for the note. I was concerned that it seemed to be plagiarized from [1], and not written with an encyclopedic tone. I think we can improve it for addition to the article. Thanks, --TeaDrinker 21:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

You said: "The Vandal with IP: User:199.97.121.99 is vandalizing again. He's vandalized before. Can you temporarily/permanently block him? Thanks for the help on the manatee thing."

Not much we can do. We can add longer and longer blocks but it's not a good policy (and not generally permitted) to permanently block IP addresses. The IP address may belong to a vandal today but in two years, it may belong to a respectable editor. --Yamla 02:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
o well. --Adam Wang 14:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandals

You said: "User: 71.82.13.210 deleted, as in the contents, of Footmen Frenzy. See if you can block him. I've already asked you once, but I think I have the so called "duty" just to report again for the hell of it. Thanks"

It looks like this was essentially a "first offence" so I have warned the user appropriately. Thanks. --Yamla 22:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

NO. THANK YOU! --Adam Wang 23:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Footman Frenzy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Footman Frenzy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 13:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ball_and_Chain.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ball_and_Chain.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 00:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Factory.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Factory.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 00:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Godric's Hollow.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Godric's Hollow.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 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 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. GentlemanGhost 20:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
