Hi, I notice that some of your edits have been extremely constructive, such as your work at tattoo, BME and body piercing. I'm sure your efforts are very much appreciated, and hope you remain with the wikipedia community.

However, some of your edits seem have been inappropriate - for instance, your edits to Big Bang. Some of your edits have been "reverted" or removed. If you want to dispute this, you can add your comments to the article's talk page by clicking the 'discussion' link while viewing the page in question.

Also, the page William Rafti is likely to be eventually deleted as its content does not seem to be appropriate for an encyclopedia. However, you might want to add the information to your personal user page, here: User:Rafti Institute.

Bear in mind that material in your user page and talk pages can have practially any content (within reason) whereas material in the wikipedia namespace is expected to be of reasonably encyclopedic quality.

Don't get too worried about any of this, you're not in any trouble! It's just a friendly note. Again, welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you stay. Best wishes, FirstPrinciples 12:22, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Universal Convective Pulse Theory S.pdf

Hello,

I've removed the links to your "Universal Convective Pulse Theory S.pdf" file that you inserted into two articles about cosmology.

If your Universal Convective Pulse Theory S becomes something that is relevant to the field of cosmology, then it would be an appropriate time to add the links to those Wikipedia articles. Until then, Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue to popularize theories that are unknown to anyone in the field. As you can imagine, if this were deemed appropriate, most Wikipedia articles about scientific topics would be filled with several thousand links to bizarre, unnoteworthy pet theories from everyone who has an opinion.

[edit] Image:William Rafti Convective Sigmaphysics copy.jpg

Hi. You uploaded Image:William Rafti Convective Sigmaphysics copy.jpg but no articles use it and it's unclear what article could use it. It has been listed for deletion so if you want it to be kept please comment on that page. Thanks. RedWolf 20:03, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image source

Thank you for uploading Image:Bear Flower Tattoo.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Ellmist 05:06, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PDFs nominated for deletion

Hi William. I've nominated some of the PDFs you uploaded (Image:Body Modification Code of Ethics.pdf, Image:Required Legal Forms And Aftercare Sheets.pdf, Image:Body Piercing Aftercare and Healing.pdf, and Image:Piercing Class Difficulty and Pricing.pdf for deletion at WP:IFD. I think the information in these files is unencyclopedic; please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Furthermore, even if the information were encyclopedic, PDF would be the wrong format. Cheers, dbenbenn | talk 23:37, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

By the way, I notice you upload lots of photographs. When you upload a photo, please state where you got it exactly. If you took it yourself, just say so. Also, specify the copyright status of the image. If you took it yourself, just put {{GFDL}} on there; see also Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more information. Finally, please avoid putting text onto the images. That simply makes more work for others, who have to crop or fiddle with the image to remove the text, as I did with Image:Bear Flower Tattoo.jpg by cropping off the bottom. dbenbenn | talk 00:39, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Copyright tags

I noticed that you uploaded several (excellent) images, but all without copyright tags and without stating where these images came from. Furthermore, most (or all ?) of these images carry the text : RAFTI , which has to be removed by others, like me - see: Category:Images for cleanup. Before removing the text, I want to be sure that these images fall within the copyright restrictions of Wikipedia. JoJan 18:37, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Rafti3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rafti3.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.

"I agree that the accusation of plagarism is well founded, but I'm removing it from the above post anyway. You understand that I have proof that it is me that is biased, not BME. I have numerous letters that support my case, including letters confirming my insanity from the government, and in fact my work was copied from the BME encyclopedia- not the other way around. My work is what has been causing confusion in the body modification industry and Suffolk Couinty NY recently advised that I should be locked in the loony bin. My personal bias and delusions of grandeur are what made all this possible. I think you've been duped by people like me with malicious intent." -Author Did not Leave (his?) Name, but this supports my (William Rafti) proposition that the body modification industry tries to twist words around and put them into people's mouths (as first suggested to me by Kivaka). Mr. Rafti considers the person who posted the preceeding quote to be a vandal. In the past the body piercing section was repeatedly and cleverly vandalized to make Wikipedia a source of dangerous information, the person who did this knew what they were doing and placed the general public at risk (for example changing the words "Sodium Chloride" (salt) to Sodium Hydroxide (lye). Mr. Shannon Larratt of BME owes me my day in court- SUE ME!!!!!!!!!!!

[edit] Rainbow

Thanks for your message. I've now taken the opportunity to do a major cleanup of the images on Rainbow as the page was getting cluttered with various images. Neil Dodgson 14:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

This is blatant advertising.

Additionally, it seems to be used simply to slander Shannon Larratt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpecialAgentRagnar (talk • contribs) 20:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
