[edit] Welcome (again)

Welcome!

I noticed your contributions to Hall High School, and thought I'd welcome you to Wikipedia. Sorry if Karmafist's welcome was a bit impersonal; I'll try to make mine better. You've already seen these links, but here they are for future reference:

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

On a more personal note, are you from West Hartford? I see from your userpage that you live in Vermont, but your contributions indicate a knowledge of West Hartford. I'm a junior at Conard, but I keep the Hall High School page on my watchlist.

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

[edit] Thanks (Sunday River)

Just wanted to say thanks for your work on improving Sunday River (Maine). It looks pretty decent now. I agree with the removal of the advert tag. Cheers, JamesofMaine 14:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==Don’t Drain Wikipedia==

Six months ago I anchored myself into Wikipedia history as the sole creator of the Ernest Scared Stupid article. It was my little niche in the World Wide Web, a place I could retreat to and acknowledge as my contribution to Planet Earth.

My happy little world was shattered a couple days ago when I made a daily visit to Wikipedia only to discover your modifications. The Ernest Scared Stupid article had been edited by other users in the past, and often to my disliking, but never to the degree that would warrant me trying to reform the changes made and eventually writing a letter voicing my disappointment.

You seem to have re-formatted every Ernest movie article in a very generic, formulaic format. All of “your articles” are bound by a bland sense of rule-following: Title, year, genre, star, director, plot, MPAA rating (and followed by) Cast, Plot, and Trivia. To your extensive editing I have the following to say: This is Wikipedia, not IMDB.

I don’t mind you adding facts such as MPAA rating, cast, etc. But do you have to do so in an ugly, database format? Believe it or not, each article of an encyclopedia (and especially a wiki encyclopedia) is unique and has artistic merit largely due to the fact that the articles are written by a diverse range of people and do not conform to one another. For example, the article on Guyana is formatted similar to, but not the same as, the article on Suriname. The photographs are not in the exact same spots and the Content Boxes are not identical. Would the Ernest films be so great if they were all bound by the same exact plot structure?

So congratulations, you have edited every single Ernest movie article. Any casual research on any Ernest film will feature ideas and information provided by a high school student from Connecticut (this fact is used merely to point out the narrowness of the source, not to discredit your age or location.) I seriously feel you are turning Wikipedia into a dull, Communist-style building complex. Ten gray buildings resting side by side, 24 rooms each, 48 windows, etc. Spice things up.

[edit] Microvision

Thank you for your edits to the article. It's been in need of some cleanup for a long time now, but it seems like hardly anyone visits the page, let alone edits it. I unfortunately haven't had the time to focus the attention to it that it needed. Good work! Ex-Nintendo Employee 07:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zapped Again and for the Last Time

Although invited to edit here on Wikipedia, it seems anything I contribute is ZAPPED by the Wilikpedia Landoliers. This is the last straw. I will stop contributing. My opinion of this website has fallen to a low ebb. I will not encourage participation in this site's endevors on any of my author and fan based sites, and will shoot out a warning to writers on my nationally syndicated BLOG. "My good opinion, once lost, is not easily recovered." Jane Austen. edwpat

I'm fed up with the Langoliers on Wikipedia and am withdrawing all my former contributions and copyright extensions. Green Street contributions have been deleted. I know now how Shostakovich felt under Stalin. edwpat

[edit] Common Ground

Greetings,

The reason I changed the category is that the LGBT TV series cat was up for renaming to encompass made-for-TV movies, specials, etc. but instead the cat got deleted by the vote of homophobic idiots. So I created a new cat Category:LGBT-related television programs instead. Otto4711 21:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aegis (CAD software)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Aegis (CAD software), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DrOttoandRiddleOfGloom.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DrOttoandRiddleOfGloom.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.

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 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. (ESkog)(Talk) 16:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
