[edit] Public domain

The GNAA have released that logo into the public domain. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I am in the process of doing much better than that. I'm getting them to put a license on their website. Good enough for ya? - Ta bu shi da yu 06:19, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I bother because we write from a neutral point of view, we don't censor viewpoints (though we self censor certain images) and we research articles properly, or not at all. I may find the GNAA offensive, but that does not give me the right to contribute to that page with an anti-GNAA POV! Imagine if I did this to the Hitler or Holocaust denial? Do you think we would have a factual, neutral article that people can trust to give them the facts coloured by original thoughts and opinions? I don't think so. So that's why I edit that article to the best of my ability. Besides, think about it. If someone sees a GNAA attack and wants to find out about them, they can visit our site and it will explain the organisation to them. We then become a trusted source for material. We can only win on this one. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:27, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'm chilled, just forthright :-) I think I've made my point... Ta bu shi da yu 01:00, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Now you've done it. How dare you break with tradition!

Actually, I think this merits a barnstar of humour. →Iñgōlemo← talk 05:28, 2005 May 20 (UTC)

Lol I love it.

[edit] NIV

Please stop removing the NIV passages. They clearly fall under fairuse. They also match the NIV's own copyright requirements that states that "the NIV text may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio), up to and inclusive of five hundred (500) verses without express written permission of the publisher, providing the verses do not amount to a complete book of the Bible nor do the verses quoted account for twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted." - SimonP 16:08, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

You are correct that we cannot do the entire project with the NIV. In the long term we should make sure we don't only use one modern translation, but vary through several. It is important, however, to have a modern translation. Several of the articles discuss the differences between KJV and modern translations. Also any old version contains too many inaccuracies for a scholarly analysis. I do not know much about the WEB, but it may be good enough. Since we can use the NIV for some of the project I see no reason not to. - SimonP 01:25, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Heliotropism

Thanks for your comment, I expected someone to redirect it. Often when I launch a stub it comes to the attention of someone who knows of an appropriate place for it and this is the quickest way to deal with it. The trouble is that Wiki's cross referencing seems to be very picky, you have to guess the exact title to get the article, small/large letters, hyphens, spaces, plurals all throw it off the scent. Actually I though it was more suitable for Wiktionary, whatever! Cheers ping 08:30, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphia Project

Hi i have noticed that you have edited several articles on subjects related to the Philadelphia area. Several other users and myself have got together to creak a project to help improve, expand, and create articles concerning the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley region. While our project is still new, we are inviting people to join us to help it get started off on the right foot. You can find the project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Philadelphia, feel free to add your name and drop off an suggestions that you might have. If you have any questions, drop me a line anytime. Thanks. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NIV v. WEB

Using the WEB as a standard is a good idea, because it is free. Theologically, however, it is a hundred years out of date. With a verse such as Matthew 2:1, having two older versions presents an interpretation that is at variance with virtually all modern scholars. - SimonP 06:44, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The important difference between the WEB and NIV is the use of the phrase "wise men," which is discussed in the article. - SimonP 14:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DeCSS

Thanks for notifying me. I replied at Image talk:DeCSS.PNG. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 17:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping up with questionable images. We certainly don't want to expose Wikipedia to liability, and it's good that you're involved with this. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 11:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robida

Thank you for the response. I see your point there that a pic is needed. In my opinion the photo is quite disturbing and the word "fascinated" carries a positive connotation. Perhaps Robida was more "influenced by the so-called Neo-Nazi ideology." Gilliamjf 07:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

That appears to be a fair solution. Maybe I'll add "obsessed" to the caption tomorrow. Take care. Gilliamjf 07:40, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jacob Robia

Look I am not vandalizing anything. So wikipedia just buys any old photo from somebody and puts it on as fact? That it is real! Go read some of the articles of case in the Boston Globe. They didn't find any nazi flag in his bedroom. Nazi literature is not a nazi flag. The image surfaced from some queer-apologist, who reads their messed up site. Clearly the site bought it hook line and sinker, and feels it's real. Why does wikipedia have to be the same way, when the image was not released in any reputable news agency? (The preceeding post made by User:TripleH1976).

[edit] Cuban Tree Frog

Hi Nathan,

You recently moved the Cuban Tree Frog article to "Cuban tree frog", for reasons of capitalisation conventions. The capitalisation conventions for animal common names are pretty loose, but it is pretty common for frogs to have complete capitalisation. This is to stop ambiguity. When you write tree frog, as a group, you do not capitalise. So, if you write "Cuban tree frog" in an article, how do you know whether one is referring to a tree frog from Cuba, or a specific species (Cuban Tree Frog)? A lot of animals do not have this problem, but when it comes to frogs, the common names tend to be descriptive. --liquidGhoul 04:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I also found it odd looking to start off with, but it makes more sense in respect to ambiguity, so I changed my mind on it. Thanks --liquidGhoul 04:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rude Mechanical Orchestra

No problem. I knew as soon as I saw that green "RMO" logo that it was the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. They've come down to DC at least twice, which is where I've had most of my interactions with them. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gold price chart

Adding the gold price chart to Gold was a great idea! Do you happen to have a similar chart that would cover a longer period of time? --FOo 05:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pillow fight

Please don't close AFDs before the five-day period for consideration has elapsed. You do not appear to be an administrator, so I have reopened this discussion per Wikipedia:Deletion process#Non-Administrators_closing_discussions point 5. Please accept my apologies if you are, in fact, an administrator. Stifle (talk) 22:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crimson30

Thanks for the blurb. I've been posting and editing for a while and just wondered... that wasn't in response to me doing anything particularly wrong, was it? Crimson30 11:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Nope, just a welcome message for your blank User_talk page. NTK 11:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Semperfis (Band)

Oh ok, I didn't know I was not supposed to do that. I deleted the content on the page, you can delete it now. I hope we will be a world-famous band, but for now we're just famous over here xD

R6mile 11:43, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subst:

Hello, NTK.

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.

Thanks. -- PFHLai 12:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. NTK 12:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing provincial/territorial flags. Replacing Canadian flag with rainbow Canadian flag.

I started a discussion about this at Template talk:GR-C You are welcome to join in. Wuzzy 04:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I upset you. I could have been more diplomatic in my wording. I recognize that you acted in good faith to improve the articles, I'm not claiming otherwise. I appreciate your interest in LGBT issues in Canada, and support for LGBT rights, and hope to see you again after your wikibreak. Wuzzy 19:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WRCG-AM 1420

Sorry for appearing to get on your case again, but you shouldn't close AFDs if they're withdrawn by nominator unless there are no other votes to delete. See Wikipedia:Speedy keep. Since I was about to withdraw my delete anyway, it's a moot point on this one. Thanks for your help reducing the admin backlog. Stifle (talk) 17:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries, the image was on CSD for a copyvio and having seen about 15 bands in a row I tagged it, thanks for noticing it survived an AfD and removing the tag -- Tawker 05:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gold charts update?

Hey there. Some interesting things have happened in the price of gold since those charts you made. If you have the time, updating them would be a spiffy thing to do. Thanks! --FOo 05:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh? Why are you trying to delete a new article on a real organization?!?

Huh? Why are you trying to delete a new article on a real organization? The Shefa Network has several hundred members, they have their own journal, their own website, they have alreayd had two major conferences, and two more conferences are planned. On what possible grounds are you trying to delete an article that you haven't even read, on a group that you havent even researched? Have you even bothered to meet with anyone from this group, or read its academic journal, or been to its conferences? RK 13:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:NPA violations

I have removed your personal attack against User:RK from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shefa Network, but have left your dismissive remark regarding him in your vote comment itself. I recommend you remove it yourself, and in the future stick to voting/commenting on the article on AfDs, and limiting your observations about other editors to their user_talk pages. Cheers, Tomertalk 16:37, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hi, yeah, you seem like someone who knows Wikipedia, would you mind telling me what I click when I want to upload a picture from a web site that releases all rights and allows for the picture to be used anywhere. Thanks. Abreuzinho 21:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I also have another question, what do I do to get the font and color of my name to be look different when I sign my name on a user page? Abreuzinho 01:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok one more thing, I've been editing this page Kerlon Moura Souza, and I have a question, why won't that box appear like on other articles (the box that has the names of the sections of the artcicles)?
Why can't I create the "|" pipe I've been pressing (SHIFT + BACKSLASH) but it doesn't work?

[edit] Libellous libel accusations

I'd appreciate it if you were slightly more restrained in your use of the term 'libel', for example as you used it here. It is a fairly serious accusation, and, (alongside calling a Reuters-backed claim 'obviously false') could all too easily be taken the wrong way. --Sam Pointon 00:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KingKaufman

Strongly disagree with the suggested delete. That is all. Smileyy 16:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, but this message was totally unnecessary. I assume you already participated in the AfD discussion. Reasonable people may disagree. NTK 00:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help please

I'm kind of new at Wikipedia and you seem to be already established, I would like to ask a faver.

[edit] Image:Donald D. Thompson mugshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Donald D. Thompson mugshot.jpg. 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. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 16:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Bennett article

The article on Ken Bennett, which you started, has become embroiled in controversy. One user is trying to remove or eviscerate much of your material. If you still have any interest in the subject, you might want to take a look. I don't live in Arizona and I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the guy. JamesMLane t c 05:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BLP issues at Ken Bennett

The article as you reverted suffers from major violations of our biographies of living persons policy. There is no discussed or cited relevance of the underground oil tanks lawsuit to Mr. Bennett's life. Furthermore, the extensive and overly-detailed discussion of a minor issue in his life grossly unbalances the page, giving undue weight to an apparent minority opinion. The sordid details of Clifton Bennett's actions are not relevant to Ken Bennett's life, except insofar as there is a reliably sourced allegation that influence may have been involved. Please do not revert. Discuss your proposed changes on the article Talk page. Thank you. FCYTravis 05:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EliasLevy.png

Thanks for uploading Image:EliasLevy.png. 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.

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. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


You are misreading my mind. To tell you the truth, I wish more resources were dedicated to other parts of Taiwan as well, especially having personally witnessed how the Taipei Municipal Government has wasted too much money on stuff such as a citizen's fingerprint database as well as the new bus shelter and the Zhongxiao exclusive bus lane project. I wish the Wikipedia would stop repeating reference books from China and elsewhere that keep on babbling that Taipei is the "political, economic, and cultural center of Taiwan." Saying that Taipei is the political center of Taiwan is redundant because Taipei is the capital. Saying that "Taipei is the primate city of Taiwan" is more accurate because it points out that the central government needs to work harder in giving more tax money to the regions outside of Taipei. The term primate city has a negative connotation because it indicates uneven national and regional development. And of course we all know that the term "Chinese Taipei" is ludicrous and shows international and PRC ignorance of what Taiwan really is. Allentchang 14:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Salve, NTK! I undid your reversion of my edit at James Dobson. I hope you can agree that a well-written article must include sources for the statements made in the article.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Jack Chick frame.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Jack Chick frame.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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.

I am glad you have initiated the V.P discussion about our broken FA process. Let me know if you can work out any substantive and actionable plan to improve this clearly broken system as I wouldbe happy to assist. I think (as I commented here) that we need more critical feedback at FAC. I have, in fact, over the years, opposed FAs based on poor content - even though we have no basis for grounding such an objection. I think this needs to change (possibly an FA selection committee).

I deliberately called it "silliness" rather than vandalism, because, first, I saw that your other edits were legitimate, and second, it seemed that the point of the info was simply that Tontitown is a very small town and that one person with a whole lot of children could comprise a significant percentage of the population, said in kind of a tongue-in-cheek way. From the standpoint of the rest of the world (and I run into this with editors in New Hampshire all the time as well), it's really not that important who the local real estate agent is or how big his family is. Might make the premise of a good short story or novel, however. Best wishes, --Ken Gallager (talk) 11:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I should add that I don't keep pages outside of New Hampshire in my watchlist, so it's extremely unlikely that I would visit the article again. What you do with the article is up to you and any other regular readers of that area. Bye, --Ken Gallager (talk) 11:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
