Ancient vs. Antient

We seem to be having a project wide revert war over whether to use "Ancient" (with a "c") or "Antient" (with a "t"). We need to hammer this out and reach a consensus, and we should do so in one central location. Since this impacts several articles, I have started a thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Freemasonry#Ancients vs. Antients... consensus? to be that central location. Please discuss at that thread. Thank you, Blueboar 13:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Rob Morris

I happened to take a look at Mackey's Encyclopedia today, and he has an entry on Morris, but there's less info on him than you already have. He was involved in a lot of stuff, though, so it may be a matter of cross-referencing from other material as opposed to a straight biography. MSJapan 01:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for checking -- it was fun researching the material for the article. Anything you can find to add, please do.--SarekOfVulcan 01:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:NPA

What are you referring to? I haven't made any in a long time.►Chris Nelson 01:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I just don't consider any of that a personal attack. It's all true and there's tons of proof.►Chris Nelson 16:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

RFC bot

Due to the CAPTCHA mechanism being implemented, it caused the bot to log off. I have put the bot back online and the RFC pages will be updated shortly. MessedRocker (talk) 20:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Living Church of God

Would you mind taking a look at Living Church of God? User:Webrown70 is in the midst of a major rewrite of the article. I'm not entirely comfortable with the edits because of the appearance of WP:COI problems (see his/her talk page) and heavy reliance on LCG self-published sources. Pairadox 18:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I started cleaning up the referencing style. I have no major problem with self-published sources, as long as they don't make claims they can't back up. I did trim down the number of external links, though: didn't think we needed to have every language they publish in.--SarekOfVulcan 21:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for looking at it. Personally I don't mind SPS in a lot of cases, but according to WP:SPS they really shouldn't be used when it involves claims about third parties (independent accounting reports, Neilsen ratings) and if the article is based primarily on such sources. Pairadox 00:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your editing of the article. As for the claims about third parties making certain statements, I see where you are going. However, the comment in the article about "independent accounting reports" is verifiable. If you look in the pdf document cited, there is an actual letter from the accounting firm that confirms the claim made in the article. Thanks again.Webrown70 21:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Clifford Borg

With reference to your note below:

Clifford Borg Hi there. I just came across your Clifford Borg article, and while I was searching for information to confirm his notability, I found that the biography was lifted word for word from another site. Please fix this. Also, please review the notability guidelines and make sure that this article addresses them, or someone will come along and nominate it for deletion. I think he may meet them: without more information, though, someone may disagree with me. Good luck improving this article!--SarekOfVulcan 15:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nevmic"

Please note that this is the official biograph supplied by the artist which is found on his website. He told me that he uses this biography everywhere so what is wrong with that? He has written the text and has all the copright rights on his text.

Thanks


He gave me all the rights... he gave me all the text and images to insert on the wikipedia since he does not know how to do it and I offered my help .. you can see his email below:

Re: Ever hear the saying, "Never piss off a bard"?

Fame at last... --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 17:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh. I can't decide if I'd want Tom to write a song about something I'd done, or if I'd want to do everything in my power to avoid it.... --SarekOfVulcan 17:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I've just followed on to the post on his Livejournal. Crikey. What it is to be loved... --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 19:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Visual FoxPro Infobox

I was meaning to do that but it slipped behind other WP Projects I'm involved in. Well done. Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 19:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Alex. If you think you can come up with a more-representative screenshot than I did, please do. Also, do you think a FPD shot for comparision would be good? I don't have it installed to do the shot myself...--SarekOfVulcan 19:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Not really (and I don't have it installed either). It's been a few years... Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 19:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Worry not! :)

Dear Sarek, please, don't pay attention to that notice; like I told my friend LaraLove a couple of days ago, it's there for mere decorative purposes, as the requests keep coming... and I simply can't turn them down! :) So this means, yes, I'll gladly redesign your userpage, and that very soon; in fact, as soon as you let me know about the preferences you may have in terms of color, or layout. Or, if you prefer, you may let me weave my imagination upon it. Just let me know this, and I'll put myself to work :) Love, Phaedriel - 21:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

TWINKLE

I have been doing antivandalism work by the bucketful for the last few months. I use VP which is nice (albeit with a few new unresolved bugs lately). I have looked at Twinkle's page before. Q: How do you modify your .js page? When clicking on the link I get a R/O text file out of Firefox. If I modify it, how do you send back the changes to .js to the server? (you can email me the answers if you want or put in my talk page, whichever you prefer). Thx. Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 19:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

OES

Oh, please, _let_ them link to Jack Chick. It only makes us look good -- anyone who believes what he says isn't going to be convinced by facts anyway. :-)--SarekOfVulcan 22:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

That definitely crossed my mind, but the section and the cited sources looked so silly, and a little embarrassing. BTW, I used to live in Vulcan (Alberta, Canada that is). Cheers.--BC 00:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

reason for my username

well you see i dont really know why you dont think my username is appropriate, im not sure what your affiliation with wikipedia is but, the reason is because everytime i would put in a typical username like for instance johndoe or whatever, it would not accept it so i just randomly typed Gjsrdh gpjkasf and from then on its been my wikipedia username. thank you for your time, i also would like to know the particular reason for this concern. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjsrdh gpjkasf (talk • contribs) 02:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

yes hello, im sort of new to wikipedia, but i would like to know how to create a page on a certain topic such as a genre of music or a band not yet listed in wikipedia, could you tell me how to do this? thanks a million! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjsrdh gpjkasf (talk • contribs) 02:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


McAlester

okay, i am not sure what you are talking about. Tiptoety 05:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, but when JoeFriday removes that much content without giving a reason, it appears to constitute vandalism. I apologize for any confusion i may have caused, Happy Editing! Tiptoety 15:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Angelo's Civita Farnese, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Phgao 16:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I did miss that, if I saw it of course I would have waited. As a new page patroller, I tag articles that just come out so of course they would be tagged straight away, but I apologise and if you can get it referenced, feel free to remove all tags! Thanks! Phgao 16:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


Fair use rationale for Image:CCARlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CCARlogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
