By the way, didn't I film you getting arrested in front of the Supreme Court back in 2005? SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gender identity proposal

In light of the issue we've been having with the article about Midge Potts, would you be willing to help me write a proposal for a guideline regarding gender identity? SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I am still learning how to properly tag and sign everything here, but sure I could help with a policy regarding gender and pronouns. I think that if someone identifies as a certain gender, and legally changes their name to reflect that change and is indeed public about this change -- then that person should be assigned that particular pronoun. Simply going by what physical equipment they may have in the "private area" is really no one's business and is of a 19th Century mindset. PeteinDC 12:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Eve Graveyard.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Eve Graveyard.JPG. 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. 23:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Chris Otten

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Chris Otten, by Hu (talk ยท contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Chris Otten seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Chris Otten, 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 leave a message on the bot operator's talk page 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 04:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lennox Yearwood and torture

I put an NPOV marker on the paragraph about the Guantanamo concert because saying "Yearwood has called for an end to the torture at Guantanamo Bay" as fact can be read as implying the existence of torture at Guantanamo Bay as fact. Since there are those who do not believe the US government's activities at Guantanamo Bay to constitute torture, this would be POV. Of course you can read it otherwise, so "Fred called for the intervention of the Invisible Pink Unicorn" doesn't necessarily imply that the speaker believes in the IPU, but I think it's as well to reword it in case people get the wrong idea. I have now done so. The Wednesday Island 00:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
