Jacob Davis Productions

Hi Stormtracker94

Could you please tell me why you deleted the internal link to "Jacob Davis Productions" article, from the "Card stunts" article?

JacobDavis Productions has created many card stunts for high-profile events such as the Super Bowl, The World Series and the Daytona 500, and is a legitimite, and notable company and is the only (or one of very few) companies dedicated to crowd participation productions such as Card Stunts. I believe it is a legitimate, and relevant internat link on the same topic.

I understand, for example, that "Ford" could not place an external link in the "Cars" article, and the same would apply to JacobDavis productions. Does this same logic apply to internal links to related Wikipedia articles? I thank you in advance for your help, and I'll be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hey Stormtracker94, I'm learning the ropes here at Wikipedia. I can take care of my userpage now. Thanks anyway! Lando5 18:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. You have tagged this article for speedy deletion under criteria A7, lacking a claim of notability. I have removed the tag because there are various claims that could make this person notable, and I think it's sufficiently questionable that you should pursue an articles for deletion discussion instead of a speedy delete.

Your recent RfA

I have closed your Request for Adminship early as unsuccessful - unfortunately it no longer had a chance of succeeding. You simply do not yet have enough experience in admin related areas. You seem to be doing good work on tagging for speedy deletion and I urge you to continue with that, but may like to broaden your experience to deletion discussions and vandal reversion. I can assure you that age isn't a factor and that we have had very competent admins who have been 12/13 - most commentators will look for signs of maturity in interacting with others rather than age per se. I hope you will not be too put off and will continue contributing - your edits here are welcome and appreciated. When you do decide to run again, you might want to have a look at the sort of answers other candidates are giving to questions asked so that yours can be fuller. Best wishes, WjBscribe 01:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nyttend 12:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

About your sig...

It's awesome, but you need to make the font smaller per WP:SIG. Thanks! Jonathan t - c 23:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I was just dropping in to say the same thing. It really needs to be toned down. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 21:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, your signature should not be a transclusion, which it is now. Please change that. — i said 23:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Indeed, per WP:SIG#Transclusion_of_templates. Furthermore, remove the size="3.0" per WP:SIG#Appearance_and_color. Daniel 00:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
And you can go a very long way by toning down your user page. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
No need to pile on with complaints And his userpage isn't particulary egregious, espeically compared to some I've seen. — i said 00:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Although, it doesn contain one of those ghastly joke new messages bars. I would suggest you change it; they're disliked and not really funny. i said 22:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! i said 22:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

You really do need to stop transcluding your signature from a template. In addition to inviting vandalism (nobody is going to protect your signature page, which means anyone can edit it at any time), templates break the bots that automatically archive busy talk pages. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes,I can help you. What error message do you get when you try to save the signature? — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
You have to put quotes around RED like this: color="RED" . That should do it; it looked like I was able to save your signature in my preferences once I made that change. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Use this code:

[[User:Stormtracker94|<font face="Chiller" size="3.0" color="RED"> STORMTRACKER</font>]] [[User talk:Stormtracker94|<font face="Chiller" size="4.0" color="Orange"> ''94''</font>]]

and you will get this output:

STORMTRACKER 94 20:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I saved that code in my own preferences to make the signature above, so it will work. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar

I appreciate it alot. SoxrockTalk/Edits 12:37, 30 September 2007 (EDT) 22:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Re your assertion that this article is a hoax: "Delete per WP:HOAX. STORMTRACKER 94 20:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)"

Just because something doesn't come up on Google, it doesn't mean it isn't true. Google has been the death of REAL research, and indeed plays host to thousands of hoaxes. Seahamlass 12:25, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there Timmy. You can problably guess who I am hence the name rally. Lancer. Love the re-vamped page. Got to come over and teach me how to do that. I'll be here forever so drop by when you get the chance. Ciap! --Rallyinspired 15:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

A note about reverting

Hi Stormtracker94, thanks for reverting the blanking on The Lottery. I noticed you did so by using the undo feature for each vandal edit. You may find it more convenient to revert by clicking on the last good version in the revision history and then saving that page. This also has the additional benefit of leaving just one revert edit in the revision history. Hope this helps and of course feel free to ignore it if you like your method better :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 05:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MesaSolarSox.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:MesaSolarSox.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
