[edit] Introduction

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.

If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela. 03:15, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Re: list of rappers

Hmm... not sure why I didn't fix that. Ordinarily, I leave an invitation to fix it on the talk page and come back in twenty-four hours to do it myself if the anon doesn't. Must've been a breakdown in the system.... Tuf-Kat 13:06, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)

Hello, please provide an edit summary. Thanks! Hyacinth 00:56, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

Do we really need so many redirects? Edward 12:31, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Maybe not, but they're not doing any harm :) Secfan 12:33, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Gifted and talented

That term isn't really specific...any "higher level" courses for elementary or middle school children in America, Canada, the UK, etc. can be (and are) called gifted and talented. I know my school's gifted program was called that, and we're not in Western Australia. (I'm in Florida, USA.) Maybe this should get a rewrite with all the info in it, and the West Aus thing gets a passing mention. Mike H 03:36, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • Just following the format of Academic Talent Program. Secfan 03:38, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
    • It is worth noting that the term is quite generic, though. :-) Mike H 03:40, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
      • Okies, maybe I expand those articles soon to be more specific :) Secfan 03:41, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Please stop adding the Commonwealth template to country articles. Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries has decided that these do not belong. - SimonP 17:50, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] .PS internet TLD

Thanks for leaving me a message, your'e doing a great job with the internet TLD's all over wikipedia!
I think that totally undeliberatly you put the reference of .PS in the State of Palestine article. Since you're not familiar with the situation.

The Palestinians & Israelis signed a joint peace agreement back in September 1993. Under that agreement, a institute called "Palestinian National Authority" (or more commonly just "Palestinian Authority") was established. This is a semi-autonomous body that rules on the area allocated to by the agreements. Please refer to Palestinian Authority article for more details of this body.

Under that agreement, the U.N bodies allocated the PS code to the Palestinian Authority; 970 telephone code (please look!) to the Palestinian Authority; also, .PS TLD was later registerd to it. The Registeries might sometime suggest "Palestinian Territories" as the name of which the code was assigned to; but that's only to avoid political sensitivities. Please look in Palestinian Territories for more info of this term. (go to "Meaning of the Term")

The last but most important thing you should know- the Palestinian leadership "declared" a "state" back in 1988, at a conference in Tunisia. Of course that this "declaration" has no importance or meaning whatsoever, except maybe symbolic. But this especially after the Oslo Peace agreements in 1993, which "officially" ended the state of ongoing wartime. Anyway, the 1988 "declaration" marked that the area of the "state" to all of Israel(!), with the proclaimed capital being Jerusalem. The article State of Palestine is there because the Palestinian Leadership technically didn't call this off, but of course they have no intrest in having any connection with this declaration (which is equals destruction of Israel = no peace). Try to read State of Palestine details (on the right) - to see it's something irrelevant. If you're adding any information to it, you are giving a legitimacy to something even the Palestinians don't want to have connection to. But moreover- you are adding the details to the wrong article (it should be in Palestinian Authority) - but I guess that's due to lack of knowledge in this subject. VICTOR 00:36, Dec 12 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lines in the template

I never wrote the template to use the word line, and removed it when youa dded it because it is fairly obvious by the colour coding from within the articles and the table itself. It also makes the spacing of the page very awkward, and they are generally not necessary and every other station template does not use them. Thanks! Páll 05:39, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think we should keep the word Rail, more for the fact that when people in Hong Kong talk about the Tung Chung, we don't say "I'm going to take the Tung Chung line to Tsing Yi, we say " I'm going to take the Tung Chung to Tsing Yi," but people say "I'm going to take the West Rail to ..." and we don't say "I'm going to take the West to ...." Anyway, that's my 8 Hong Kong cents. Páll 11:02, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

No no, I agree with using the word line in the article, which is why its used. The thing about the table is it is just that, a quick and handy reference so it is also important to make sure it is small and compact. I think, as it is a table, the context is clear enough without the word line, especially if we use the colouring. Páll 21:11, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template for deletion - Template:Portuguese former colonies

Hello Secfan. This template on former colonies of Portugal has been listed at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion by Jiang for some time. There is a discussion on whether templates of such kind should be removed. Your comment would be very helpful to the discussion.

[edit] Coldplay singles discography

Hey, I'm wondering where you got the US singles placing for Yellow... cuz the one your provided for Speed Of Sound is only Billboard Hot 100 and/or Modern Rock Tracks which only measured radio airplay and not sales. --Madchester 15:12, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

[edit] Apollo 440

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for fixing the albums/singles listing on the Apollo 440 page. You beat me to it by a couple of hours. I'd like to especially thank you for adding single chart placings, something I would not have put in. - pinkgothic 16:48, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Substub

Hi Secfan - I have just speedy-deleted Template:Substub. The template was originally deleted in accordance with a :"delete" vote at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion, as it is no longer used - nor should it be, not even as a redirect. The Stub sorting WikiProject is strongly against its reintroduction, on the grounds that it actively hinders efforts to improve stubs. Please do not recreate it again.

[edit] GNumber

What is the point to the GNumber template? It it meant to link together all the economic summets that are named as G number such as G8 and G20? Shanedidona 04:04, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:36, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gunbound

Hi, I noticed that you made a string of edits to Gunbound (good game, BTW) and while there's nothing wrong with editing, it's considered better to make all your edits in one edit, if that makes any sence. Just though I'd mention it. humblefool® 05:09, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Man hyphen Machine

Er, if you look on the record sleeve of The Man Machine or on the animation page for it on http://www.kraftwerk.de you'll find the they don't hyphenate it. You would do well to revert all your Kraftwerk edits back the the correct, unhyphenated spelling. (I mean, I'd do it myself, but it would take a good quarter of an hour, and it wasn't me who made erroneous edits now, was it? ;-) --feline1 15:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 211.30.211.93

Hi, there. You've been kindly reverting some articles. Can you report this guy as well. Slim seems to be away - do you know anyone who's online? John Smith's 28 June 2005 09:31 (UTC)

Cheers, mate. If you have anyone trolling your articles feel free to give me a buzz. Same if you'd like some help with a project. John Smith's 28 June 2005 09:42 (UTC)

More edits over at Mao Zedong, though not necessarily by this user. Some are ok, but once again Jung Chang's views are being removed because she's "controversial". I'll consider some ammendments later on in the week, so please keep an eye out if they immediately start deleting them again. However I would really appreciate you adding to the debate. I'm tired of people discounting Jung Chang without actually backing up their allegations. Also if you feel you can/should put her views back in, go for it.

Cheers

You should avoid embedding links in section headings (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)#Links within headings). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:11, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jung Chang

Hi, there. Listen I wouldn't get too excited about Jung Chang as a historian. She wrote a biography, so one can argue she's only a biographer. If it had been about the CCP as a whole, then certainly she would have been a historian.

For now I would just let her be referred to as an author, especially after Slim started getting involved. If you really feel we should list her as a historian I will change my mind and back you up. She still fulfills the description of a historian. However I think that we should not overplay our hand yet. Please could you try to find some articles where she is referred to as a historian, or where her works are referred to as "histories"? Because unless we can do that, we'll just start a revert war with the people who want to undermine her.

By the way, keep up the good work on necessary reverts. Message me if you have any problems John Smith's 30 June 2005 12:45 (UTC)

[edit] Number One

Hi there, claiming a widely used term like this for only a Nelly single isn't very productive. Do you use the "what links here" when you create pages?

[edit] Busta Rhymes

I've deleted your entry for "Put You Pussy On It" as the next single to be released off Busta's "Big Bang" album.

[edit] Jong

You created Jong as a redirect to Yang, but gave no reason why (Edit Summary is your friend!). I expanded it to an disambiguation page, so that I could have it link to Erica Jong. A quick google image search suggests that Jong might be a version of Yang (surname), so that's what I guessed, linking to Kim Jong-il as well. It also appears it is much more common as a Northern European surname (de Jong). Since you created the original, I hoped that you might have some insight into the page.

[edit] N*E*R*D singles

hello, am i correct in thinking your edit on 10:47, 12 July 2005 to N*E*R*D implies that the single releases of 'Lapdance' and 'rockstar' featured the digital production found on the 2001 release of 'in search of...' , whereas 'provider' ([i]and[/i] the lapdance included in the same single) both featured the spymob (ie rock) versions of the 2002 worldwide release of 'in search of...'? and were the versions of the singles released the same worldwide? ~ Bungalowbill

Hi,

How are you?

I am proposing that the following article: Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign be deleted. There is no proof that this campaign led to the recording of Busted Stuff, or was acknowledged by the DMB or RCA people. While the campaign was mentioned in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, I don't think that is grounds enough to have a separate article. Please comment on the Talk page. Thanks.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Ass-bot

A tag has been placed on Ass-bot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

yet another nice redirect

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 11:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Francesca Belperio

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Francesca Belperio, by Thewinchester, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Francesca Belperio 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 Francesca Belperio, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Francesca Belperio itself. 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. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Black_Eyed_Peas_-_Dont_Lie_-_CD_cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Black_Eyed_Peas_-_Dont_Lie_-_CD_cover.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Usher and Alicia Keys - My Boo - CD cover.jpg.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

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 20:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Puckman

Puckman, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Puckman and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

[edit] Typo redirect Maroon5

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Maroon5, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Maroon5 is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Maroon5, 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 contact the bot operator 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.

[edit] Gröûp X

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Gröûp X, 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.

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:D12 - How Come - CD cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:D12 - How Come - CD cover.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. Rappingwonders (talk) 16:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of The Bad Touch

A tag has been placed on The Bad Touch, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Woland (talk) 17:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Crazy Frog - Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits CD cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Crazy Frog - Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits CD cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 16:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
