[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Capbadge2.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Capbadge2.png. 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 20:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fang Aili talk 20:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fit Hybrid

It's is completely fine to report that there may be a Fit Hybrid that is being released. It's not ok report it as a fact when the source you supply clearly says it's completely unconfirmed and that Honda has not announced anything yet. Please keep this in mind when writing anything. Do not revert edits that removed unsourced material. This is all explain very clearly in the policy WP:RS. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also please feel encouraged to start a discussion on the subject in the talk page of the article. Thanks. Roguegeek (talk) 22:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

This isn't about what is going to satisfy me. It's about what satisfies Wikipedia policy. Unsourced or poorly sources material is always subject to be deleted. If you want the information you add to stick, make sure you bring sources, that you accurately report what the sources are saying, and that you properly cite those sources in the article. If you have a problem with this, I encourage you to seek help from administration. I would also suggest you look into the policies which I've listed at the top of the Fit talk page.

[edit] An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 16:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incandescent light bulb

Your edits to the referencing system of [Incandescent light bulb] caused major inconsistencies. This was because you added brackets "[ & ]" for several references, when they shouldn't have any so that one can view the whole address of the link.

Please keep that in mind. Thanks for contributing. --Ng.j 18:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to enlighten me, but I think I know better on this issue. Since 2005 I've been formatting references as laid out by the manual of style WP:REF. What you should have done, if you wanted to improve the article after my edits, is add the title of each link's destination page within the square brackets. I appreciate that I probably should have done it myself, but I'd already done half the tedious work and I hoped a considerate and knowledgeable editor might finish up for me. Rather than revert it.
If you genuinely want to help a lot, try learning how to use the {{cite web}} template. It comes in very handy when citing internet webpages. — Jack · talk · 18:59, Monday, 12 March 2007

[edit] My RfA

  • Thanks for voting in my RfA. I've decided to withdraw my acceptance because of real WP:CIVIL concerns. I will try again later when I've proven to myself and others that my anger will no longer interfere with my abilities as a Wikipedia editor. Thanks again, and I'll see you around here shortly. :) JuJube 04:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Virtual Dungeon monster-related response

That is the only thing on the internet that has information on those monster. If they delete that, no one will know info on them and their pictures will be orphaned. Rtkat3 (talk) 2:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization

Job and ranks should be capitalized only when used in front of a person's name and used a title; otherwise, when sitting in isolation, they are lowercase.

Right: The lieutenant got a promotion; Captain Smith is now company commander.

Wrong: The Lieutenant got a promotion; Captain Smith is now and Company Commander.

[edit] Canadian Land Force Command and Staff College

Do you have any source able information that may help to establish notability? Navou 12:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I started the page as part of the Canadian Military History Project. I am currently adding links and adding more detail.--Ng.j 12:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought you might be, I had declined removed a speedy deletion tag placed on it. Navou 12:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I saw that, thanks for the help. Too many people are too quick to delete. --Ng.j 12:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I nominated this page for speedy deleltion because it was just a three line article, several days ago. and it hasn't changed since then, apart from the addition of the template. it still doesn't look notable to me--Jac16888 11:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding message

The talk page of the article instead of my talk page, rather than both, is a more polite place to give your comments, but thank you for the clarification nonetheless. Your point is well-taken. Bsherr 20:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders etc

Hi. The Wikipedia naming convention is that "The" should only be used in an article title if it would commonly (not officially) be capitalised in running text. With regimental names this is not the case. Just because regiments (or any other organisation) may have "The" in their official title does not mean this convention should be broken. -- Necrothesp 09:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I would generally agree with you in regards to "The" with regimental names. However, in the case of unit's which begin with "Queen's Own" or such, "The" is being used with the royal title. As such, it has always been "The Queen's Own" as it is a title and not a name. Ng.j 11:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, the rule of thumb from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name) states "If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the page name. Otherwise, do not include it at the beginning of the page name."

From what I know, all of the units use "The Queen's Own". Ng.j 11:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

My point is that "The" wouldn't be capitalised by anyone commonly referring to it. The regiments might use it in official documents, but the BBC (for instance) wouldn't use it. See here and here for instance. I know what you're saying, but I think the rule still stands for regiments as for anything else. Generally there is no need to add "The" to article titles - the rule is "use common name". And even the regiments don't do it consistently. See here for instance. The Queen's Own Yeomanry quite happily use the (lower case) Queen's Own Yeomanry on their own website! A Google search will reveal many other examples. Also, the official abbreviations don't have a T at the beginning - if it was a compulsory part of the title it would be TQOY not QOY, TQOH not QOH. -- Necrothesp 12:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] XTAR copyright violation

Since XTAR is copied word for word from the "About XTAR" page, it will be almost certainly be tagged for deletion shortly. This would be a very good time to change it drastically. :-)--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 21:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I'm already working on it. Copied the wrong version from Notepad and lost my version by mistake. Ng.j 21:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hate when that happens... random question, have you ever looked at Notepad++? Once you try it, you'll never go back. :-)--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 21:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Can't install at work, unfortunately. Ng.j 21:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Institute for Cosmic Ray Research

Hello. It looks like you are in the process of building this informative article. However, I noticed there are no sources listed. Please cite some reliable sources for this article. Otherwise, there's a chance someone may tag the article as a candidate for deletion at some point in the future. A full list of citation templates is available here. If you are already in the process of adding sources now, please continue to do so and ignore this message. Cheers. ++Arx Fortis 06:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Automatic Target Recognition

A tag has been placed on Automatic Target Recognition requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
