I hope that you like them. If you want any changes, or have any suggestions for them, just let me know.

Why do you think that only the KJV Bible should be used? Its not like if the Bible was originally written in English. It just makes harder for people to understand. -Chileiceman

[edit] James Edwin Orr

A tag has been placed on James Edwin Orr, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how James Edwin Orr is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:James Edwin Orr saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. -- This article is a biography that does not assert actual notability as per requirements for articles that are biographies.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:0-8423-6061-1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:0-8423-6061-1.jpg. The image description 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.

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 fair use images 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.

[edit] Criterion boxes

Before you get too far with those, they were discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Archive 6#Criterion Collection infoboxes and brought up again more recently at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films#The Return of the Criterion Collestion Succession Boxes. I was for them but they were voted down. Doctor Sunshine 01:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Creation-evolution talk page

Ted, it appears to me that many past contributors to the creation-evolution controversy have spent too much time using the article as a soapbox to promote the idea of "creationism is pseudoscience" POV, as opposed to objectively describing the controversy in a NPOV using RS. Could you take a look at the Rfc and chime in if you have an opinion? Thanks. ImprobabilityDrive 16:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Please check your facts before removing legitimate information. Thanks. – Chacor 20:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Did you even read the link? Check the active time of the advisory. 5 pm EDT. This is how we update the hurricane pages and has been how it's been done for three seasons. – Chacor 20:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub Pages

A number of the pages you have created are stub status and a few are only one line of information. After looking at these I conclued that most leave the reader at the same place he or she started and they learn nothing more from these pages. I do think that these articles are important and most link to relivant pages, but they need work and you should work on them. Also there are artilces such as The Nantucket Beacon which is almost pointless and will never be expanded.Yamaka122 20:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:0-8423-6061-1.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:0-8423-6061-1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Qst 19:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of articles created

On User talk:Bobo192, Ted-m said:
How can I make the list on my userpage of articles I created similar to yours?


Hi there. To answer this question, there used to be a tool available here which kept a list of those pages to which you were the first contributor (after the equals sign at the end of the URL, you would have to insert your username, and it brought back a list of these articles). However, it has been offline for most of the year, and the only alternative I know of is to go through your contributions list yourself and make a note of those articles to which you were the first contributor - which can be hard work at times if you don't keep a dedicated list of them.

[edit] Userboxes

On User talk:Bobo192, Ted-m said:
Also how can I fix my userboxes so they are all together and not have empty spaces in them?


Similarly with userboxes, there used to be a tool which produced a list of userboxes in a neat, readable form, but I don't seem to be able to find it - and in the example userboxes that the random software gave (there were an impressive list of about 100, some serious, but most humorous), you could simply copy and paste the code.

I'm having trouble finding it right now, but I will contact you later if I find it. Bobo. 04:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South African Bibles

Hi Ted-m

I'm fairly sure the Bible Society will be willing to make a plan if you e-mail or phone them. Otherwise, my church has some SA language bibles which they may be willing to sell to you (if you don't want too many) - the church's website (including contact details) is at http://www.moederkerk.co.za —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Kroon (talk • contribs) 07:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Music in Brainiac: Science Abuse

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Music in Brainiac: Science Abuse, 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.

[edit] AfD nomination of Music in Brainiac: Science Abuse

An editor has nominated Music in Brainiac: Science Abuse, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music in Brainiac: Science Abuse and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

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) 11:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Babelfish

Please do not use Babelfish to create articles. It is about as much work to clean up Babelfish nonsense as it is to translate from scratch, and article creation is far more fun than improving poor translations. If you want to request a translation, please do so at Wikipedia:Translation. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 05:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Three Stooges - How High Is Up?

Hi there - many thanx for your kind words about my add-ons to your How High Is Up? article. Actually, thank you for creating it in the first place. As I began creating articles for all 190 shorts, it was always relieveing to find several films with articles already established! Yes, the Stoogeum idea is awesome. As long as Gary Lassin is ok with it, I do not see a problem with it. Let me know how you would like to address. Thanx! Oanabay04 (talk) 01:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
