[edit] Possible Frances Fox Piven photo

Can't one or both of these photos be used (see URL below)? It'd seem that non-profit educational institutions would not have restrictive copyright protections on their publicly accessible images.

[edit] Allie Jablon

A tag has been placed on Allie Jablon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, 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. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 02:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your recent edits

[edit] Question about your edit to Danny Kass

Hey there,

I was just wondering if you could cite a source for Danny Kass' hometown. I've been getting some conflicting information, and I thought since you just edited it that you might know. Thanks!

Searles2sels (PJ) 17:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for updating that.

[edit] Your edit to Lindsay Lohan

Please read what constitute WP:RS. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 00:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Further, please understand that encyclopedias don't do rumors; paramount is verifiability, and a gossip site/source/newspaper/magazine/etc. rarely qualifies as a reliable source. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jennifer Garner

Your edit to Jennifer Garner was reverted. Please read WP:RS to learn why your source fails to meet our criteria for reliability. --Yamla 15:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grey's Anatomy

May I ask why did you revert my changes? The ABC logo is completely redundant and just takes up infobox space, so does the USA flag.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 00:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay, no problem :) .. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 00:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

Hi, I noticed that you added the flag here.. May I ask why? You did not provide an edit summary.. Also, flags do take up space usually, and are redundant, at least in my opinion.. Can we sort this out somehow? Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 03:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The flags don't take much space, compared to the information in the infobox. Again, I think they might look nice to put it there. Also, most infoboxes contain flag icons. By the way, sorry, I have a habit of not putting in an edit summary unless there's a major change in the article --Sli723 03:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Frankly, you said 'much space', infobox space is in many cases precious.. Please see WP:FLAGCRUFT.Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 04:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:TheBachelor10.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TheBachelor10.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Sorry, I blanked the page because I wanted to remove the picture.--Sli723 06:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags in Actor Infoboxes

Hello, I've noticed that you've went on a spree in adding flags to actor infoboxes lately, such as in the case of Adrian Brody. I've removed the flag on said article, mainly because of the guidelines put down in WP:FLAGS as well as this recent discussion in which several users voiced their dislike of the flags in biographical infoboxes. I know there is a necessity for flags when using film infoboxes, or infoboxes in which numerous links to different countries tend to blend together and there is a need to differentiate. In the case of biographical infoboxes, however, there is only ever one or two countries listed, and they are clearly marked as birthplace and place of death. This information is usually already formatted as city/state/country. Therefore, I would greatly encourage you to reconsider adding these flags to bio infoboxes; it may be pleasing to the eyes, but there is no exact need for it. It's not really a big deal, either, since it doesn't take up too much room; many editors, however, feel it's redundant. Just thought you should know.  :) María: (habla conmigo) 01:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! I'll take note to that.--Sli723 01:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:TheBachelor.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] The Apprentice UK

Image:Fired!.png Hello, Sli723 and thank you for your contributions on articles related to The Apprentice UK. I'd like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject The Apprentice UK, a WikiProject aiming to improve coverage of The Apprentice UK and related articles on Wikipedia.

If you would like to help out and participate, please come over and visit us here for more information. Thanks! Dalejenkins 06:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warren Christie

Thanks you for adding the infobox to Warren's Christie's article (that I wrote yesterda). I still haven't taken the time to figure out how to make those. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 13:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Glad I could help! :) --Sli723 21:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glenn Clark

You added a whole bunch of stuff to the Glenn Clark page, all of which is unreferenced. Stuff that you add must be verifiable, i.e. published elsewhere on the web, in a book, in an interview, etc., and stuff like his kids' birthdays, where his wife is going to school, his golf handicap, etc. has nothing to do with why he is in Wikipedia, which is his career as a lacrosse player and coach. Also, the bit about leading the Rock "to the NLL Championship yet again this year" reads like it was taken directly from another web page (not to mention being at least a couple of years out of date), which is a serious Wikipedia no-no. Please add your references, and rewrite any text that is copied from another web site. If no references are added, I'll have to remove all of the unsourced stuff. Thanks --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 22:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heidi Androl

A tag has been placed on Heidi Androl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. 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.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Luke! 05:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AI template on Justin Guarini page

I see that you've been interested in the Justin Guarini page. Do you think that the AI template should be used on the page? Vote here, so it cannot be deleted again. - hmwithtalk 22:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Hello. I notice that you put the infox box on the Red Lake High School massacre article. I'm writing you because I'd like to know if it's possible to edit these boxes. I'm wondering if it's possible to include the make and model of the gun used in these shootings in the info box. Do you know how to do this, or can you perhaps direct me to someone who knows about infoboxes, specifically the ones that have to do with mass shootings? Thanks in advance... Griot 15:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Wikipedia members are allowed to edit infoboxes. Well, the make and model of the gun used in the shootings should not be included in the infobox; they are to be included within the article. For more information about infoboxes, click on Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes. Or, you can take a look at various articles as to how to create/edit an infobox. --Sli723 20:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits to Stefani Schaeffer

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Sli723! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule img[0-9]+\.imageshack\.us\/my\.php\?image\=.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg), is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 03:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Bianca Ryan

Sorry, but this edit has been reverted. One, the quote already is in the article's lead; two, use of a word like "shocked" violates a neutral point of view unless there's a reliable source for that emotion. —ATinySliver | talk 19:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll take note to that. Thanks!--Sli723 00:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Quite welcome! :) —ATinySliver | talk 05:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hilton Hotels Corporation

You need to use the {{cite web}} or one of the other templates to correctly format citations and references. Vegaswikian 00:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks!--Sli723 00:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please cite

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Jenna Lewis, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Yamla 03:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Golfer Infobox

Thank you for updating the infobox on Greg Norman's page. I edited the majors section, as it is meant to include all 4, and please note that the Players Championship is not a major. I am keeping a log of all articles which use the infobox I made, so please add the articles to which you have added the infobox in the section on my userpage. Cheers. Supertigerman 00:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks!--Sli723 00:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rosie O'Donnell depression

Hi, I'm sorry for not sending a note sooner but wanted to let you know that I moved the reference to Rosie O'Donnell's depression to the Rosie Magazine section to fit in with the article's timeline. Also the reference you cite is about the depression article in the Rosie magazine so seems like the right place for it to go. Benjiboi 19:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem! :) Thanks!--Sli723 22:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Smith

Thanks for fixing the Kevin Smith article! I know he's not for everyone's taste, but that's no reason for someone to be malicious like that. I warned them appropriately. --DodgerOfZion 22:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Just doing what is right!--Sli723 22:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference formatting

Hi, please don't put the references into scroll boxes. This breaks accessibility features, messes up printing, and causes problems with some browsers. Thanks, Silly rabbit 12:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought it wouldn't waste space. Thanks!--Sli723 20:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References beside supercouples on supercouple lists of the Supercouple article

  • We probably should format all of those external links beside the supercouples on every supercouple list in the Supercouple article to be in reference format instead.

Why did you revert your edits, is it because the Internet and media trends section got messed up along the way in one of your edits? I was a little perplexed to see that you left Guy Ritchie and Madonna as a couple in reference format on the Celebrity supercouple list, but left the others on that list in external links format. Either way, I feel that you may have a point about using reference format for the supercouples on the supercouple lists in the Supercouple article. It's just that I'm a bit undecided at this moment on which format that I feel is best for the article. Flyer22 02:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the Internet and media trends section got messed up, I thought it was because of the way of how I formatted the references. Anyways, I reverted my edits so the sections wouldn't be omitted.--Sli723 03:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I see. Well, of course, that article still needs to be improved and will be improved further either way, as is the case for plenty of articles on Wikipedia, and even featured articles that definitely aren't badly in need of improvement, but can be improved further as well, of course. Flyer22 06:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Sli723 ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.


This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.


Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)
Time：After 5:00pm
Proposed region：Yuen Long


The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!


Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

Hi, I noticed you placed U.S. Weekly ratings statistics on the episodes of Private Practice. Could you please add the appropriate source to verify the information? Much appreciated. σмgнgσмg 12:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't add any weekly ratings statistics. I only added citation of Private Practice being picked up for the a full season.--Sli723 21:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] copyright activists category

Hi Sli723 -- You added the Category:Copyright activists to Jackie Chan. Please look through the Category:Activists, and also at categorization -- categories should be added onto articles only where they are defining attributes of the subject of that article. For example, when you think "copyright activists" you might think "Jackie Chan", or when you think "Jackie Chan" you think "copyright activists". Usually a minor engagement with an issue or support for an issue does not make one an "activist"; activism is usually characterized by full-time or significant work in advocacy or organizing social protest, for example. A PSA appearance does not even always indicate support for the issue, so by itself it's not helpful; if there's a lot of other activism that indicates support for the issue then it could count, but by itself it really can't. I've taken the category off that article, and if you've added it to other articles with similar criteria, would you mind taking another look to see if it's appropriate? Thanks, Lquilter (talk) 23:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category American Congregationalists

Hi, I noticed that you added Michelle Obama to the category American Congregationalists. I see others already there like Barack and Howard Dean. All three of them belong to the United Church of Christ. The UCC came about from the merger of the Evangelical Reformed denomination and the Congregational Christian Church. Would it also make sense to add them to the category American Evangelicals? Others? I just thought I'd ask since it seems like you have some knowledge about this. Thanks! --luckymustard (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I'm not sure about it. You see, I assumed that both Barack and Michelle Obama are members of UCC, and I saw that Barack Obama was in Category:American Congregationalists. So, I decided to include Michelle Obama to it.--Sli723 (talk)

[edit] List of Barack Obama presidential campaign endorsements

Hello, Sli723 -- I see that you are the amazingly industrious person who has added so many of the entries to List of Barack Obama presidential campaign endorsements. I'm afraid there's a bit of a problem, though, with the formatting of the entries. I just left a note explaining this at Talk:List of Barack Obama presidential campaign endorsements -- I only wish I could have alerted you to this issue a few weeks ago. But the listings will be so much easier for people to read when they are properly formatted! Regards, Cgingold (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request to move article Robert Sargent Shriver III incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Robert Sargent Shriver III to a different title - however your request is incomplete and has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have done all three of the following:

  1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
  2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
  3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at the talk page of Wikipedia:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. Knepflerle (talk) 23:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ann Dunham

hi - do we have any verification that she received an MA? Tvoz |talk 22:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Here's the link.--Sli723 (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Ha- yes, I just saw the same article and was coming back here to say so! thanks Tvoz |talk 22:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem!--Sli723 (talk) 22:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic categories

Hi, and thanks for all your categorization work. Remember though that categories, like everything else, have to be verifiable. Under the provisions of WP:BLP I have been scrutinizing Category:Eurasians and trying to remove it from entries where no well-referenced assertion is made in the article that the subject's ethnicity is notable. Maybe you could help me? In any case, please don't add categories not supported by the evidence, especially to articles on living people. Thanks in advance. --John (talk) 00:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Once again, please do not add ethnic categories to articles on living people without adding verifiable references for their ethnicity as you did at Belinda Hamnett. Thanks in advance. --John (talk) 00:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry! I will stop adding categories without evidence--Sli723 (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Hilton

Hello Sli723:

I see I'm here on much the same issue as the previous item. I see you have added two categories to this article on Paris Hilton. The problem is there is nothing in the article to support either of these categories.

The policy WP:Categories says (among other things) "An article should normally possess all the referenced information necessary to demonstrate that it belongs in each of its categories. Avoid including categories in an article if the article itself doesn't adequately show it belongs there."

There has been a problem with people adding ancestry categories to this article without supporting information. At one point it said she was Italian, Irish, Swiss, and German, as well as American!

This is discussed at various places in the talk page. Please will you take a look at this.

Thank you, Wanderer57 (talk) 23:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
