[edit] My conduct

As per the message you left at User_talk:Fnlayson#Qantas_2 and User_talk:Huaiwei#Russavia_2, what you need to do is to file a report at WP:RFC/U and the community can then report on my conduct. That is the best way to do that. --Russavia 12:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Ranch High School/Mr. Bob Vincent

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article West Ranch High School/Mr. Bob Vincent, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 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}}. -- RG2 07:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nuclear Power

What are you thinking your friend Nailedtooth screwed with the picture and now costing its deletion if you want it changed talk on the actual image page.Sparrowman980 04:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I just didn't find it that urgent. It'll be deleted eventually and I'll probably tweak the right image sooner or later. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 04:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
How about instead of posting a baffling and seemingly angry message to me you explain the situation so I can understand. Simply saying "You're doing it wrong! Do it right!" is no help to anyone, least of all me. I guess trying to do the right thing and messing up due to imperfect knowledge is grounds for public beratement. I apologize for trying to help.

[edit] Feud?

What are you unhappy about? Feel free to let me know. If I can help, I'll try my best. Archtransit 15:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC) Sorry, I misread your message. I thought you were also having a feud. No, you were just telling me that there is a feud. If it's content related, I may be able to help but if they just hate each other for some unexplained reason, then it's not easy to help.

[edit] Commons image

Image:Nuclear power stations updated Oct 9 07.png is an image on Commons, so tagging it here on Wikipedia won't do anything. I speedy deleted the page as an image page that's now on Commons. -- RG2 00:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nobel prize at the top of the infobox

This is a copy of the reasons for not having the icon that I left at Talk:Al Gore#Nobel prize icon at top of box.

"Until a few days ago I'd never seen the icon placed in a infobox like that. First of all it's distracting as it, along with his picture, is the first thing you see when the page opens. Next it's useless. Not everybody will know what the icon signifies, and even if they do, it doesn't link to Nobel Peace Prize, so it's not informing anyone of anything. It also overemphasises the award. It says to me that Al Gore (and the others I saw it on) is notable because he won a Nobel prize but in truth he won the prize because he did something notable. Why not add icons for his other awards as well, what about his Emmy Award.? Finally adding things like that will get out of hand. Look at Jimmy Carter, he has a Nobel Prize as well but why not add the seal of Georgia and the Presidential seal aren't they important? If it's in the box then it should be further down with a list so that the award can be linked to."

I hope that explains why I remove them, and for an example of how the boxes would look with other awards included see, User:CambridgeBayWeather/Sandbox. Of course not all the awards can be shown as some have no images and others like the Grammy Award are fairuse images. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Again, what are you doing?

[1]? The image in question is on Commons -- there's nothing we can do about it on Wikipedia. -- RG2 21:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for information on length of sea journey in late 1940s

Hello there,

I am not sure if you can answer this question, but how long did it take for a freighter to go from England to Canada in the late 1940s? I've tried all kinds of online research and just couldn't come up with the answer. Thought you might know. Thanks.

[edit] Image source problem with Image:16581304E.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:16581304E.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC). 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.

[edit] Pictures

Did you take those pictures of the fire? Damn, that was close! bibliomaniac15 04:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar

Hi there,

While it's great that you are so ambitious and want to give to Wikipedia, you may want to start trying to proofread your posts. For instance, your change to the Theodore Roosevelt article read as follows: "This is some stuff that thodore roosevelt did in his life he was also married twice."

Firstly, you didn't spell "Theodore" correctly. Secondly, the sentence itself reads horribly.

Also, from the "West Ranch High School" page: "Recently the school faced a large fire surrounding it but did not get any farther than the gates." "West Ranch and the fire in the distance and believed to be Mr. Vincent(Principal)there also." "Large helicopters tryed to put out the blaze before it reached more homes and West Ranch."

All of these sentences are a mess. They have numerous spelling mistakes, and, even worse, an elementary at best use of the English language.

In order to keep Wikipedia as professional as possible, please consider using correct language when writing.

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.55.14 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Fire photos

Did your neighbor agree to release the images under the terms of the GFDL?

Addtionally, I reverted your edits at Image:IMMI.jpg. I don't see how you have the rights to release that image. -- RG2 22:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It's not good enough to release a work for use on Wikipedia. The author must allow for the work to be freely copied, modified, and distributed for both commercial and noncommercial purposes. Is he willing to meet these conditions? -- RG2 05:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
