[edit] Talk:Boston Tea Party

Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category [1]. It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly. Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion? Thanks much, samwaltz 05:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fauxtography on deletion review

I have opened a deletion review of Fauxtography. Since you previously commented on the articles AfD, I hope you will check out this review and add your comments. Best,--Alabamaboy 14:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV in Body Snatchers

I hate to say this--but you're absolutely right. Nareek 04:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Please do not add articles to categories unless the article itself supports the category or you provide a reliable citation for the category. Here, I'm referring to your adding Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. to the category, Kabbalah Centre followers. --Yamla 22:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Isaacmendez.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Isaacmendez.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. - crz crztalk 02:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] trekbbs

Thank you for your opinions in the TrekBBS AFD. I do not agree with the closing admin's decision and have listed this now under Deletion Review. As you had participated in the AFD, I wished to inform you this in case you wished to voice your opinion on this --Brian(view my history)/(How am I doing?) 17:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graem Bauer - page move

I noticed you cut and pasted the content out of Graham Bauer and into Graem Bauer. Please dont do page moves in this way - it destroys the edit history of the article which is necessary to be kept for licensing purposes. See Help:Moving_a_page.

In addition to this, there is currently a conflict as to what name should be used for that specific article, see Talk:Graham Bauer for this. It appears from a recent update that "Graem" appears to be the right name, but it would be best to give other editors a day or two to confirm and comment on this first.

Regards -- Chuq 02:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't the choice of name - it was (1) the cut and paste move method (which I understand you may not have known this was bad, which is fair enough, but just letting you know why I reverted it) and (2) The comments in the article and the discussion page are full of "wait - please do not just change on a whim, discuss first" messages. -- Chuq 06:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Counter Terrorist Unit

I noticed you reverted the redirect and removed all maintenance tags from this article. This article is completely unreferenced and has been merged into 24 (TV series). Unless you can provide sources, this article will most likely end up at AfD rather than a simple redirect. I have reverted your actions and ask that you not undo the redirect unless you can provide reliable sources for the article. Thanks, auburnpilot talk 06:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George P. Bush

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to George P. Bush, is not consistent with our policy on attribution and verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Additionally, much of the text was direct, unattributed quotation from The Politico, which is a copyright violation. Please do not cut and paste text from other websites, and please cite your sources in future. Thanks! -- Dhartung | Talk 05:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rebellion category

All those articles are already part of the Category:Rebellion tree, as more specific sub-sets under Rebellion by type, place, etc.. no need for duplication. -- Stbalbach 02:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User-page Discussion

Not sure if this is the proper format to add to the page, but...

User: Anarcho-capitalism's page is scheduled for deletion over here [2], I've used his page for sources and to check out basic definitions, and I feel it's incredibly useful. 0 contacted some people on his side of the fence to vote, so I thought it would be fair to bring some other people over also. You have listed that you are an Anarcho-Capitalist Wikipedian, so I thought that this would be reasonable. Fephisto 19:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You contributed here

You contributed here. So please inspect if you want it to be deleted ? Nasz 09:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NRA

Hi, I saw in your user page that you are a member of the NRA and I was wondering if you would be willing to add Category:Wikipedians who are members of the NRA to the page so that you can be counted there. Thanks! --Kimontalk 21:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kirkjonesblade1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kirkjonesblade1.jpg. 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 06:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Democrat In Name Only. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

[edit] CfD nomination of Category:Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld

I have nominated Category:Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 01:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sebacean

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Sebacean, 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}}. Gavin Collins 20:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:User categories for discussion on -isms

Hi. A user category that you are in has been proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion. You are welcome to comment. Cheers! bd2412 T 02:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV Warning

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Fox Business Network. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. /Blaxthos 04:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australia at the Olympics

Hahaha regarding your edit to the Australia article. However it should probably be taken into account that Australia is usually lucky to win a single medal at the Winter Olympics. The Canucks regain a fair amount of pride I am sure at the Winter games. It should also be observed that the Australian Government spends an awful lot of money on sport which I am sure you would not approve of. Ryan Albrey (talk) 06:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Anti-hitler.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Anti-hitler.png. 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.

[edit] March 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Big Brother 9 (U.S.), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please do not add back that the Northern Illinois University shooting to Neil's section without a proper source. There is no source that is related to Neil in any way. Neil left the Big Brother House on Feb. 13 and the shooting happened on Feb. 14. Please see the talk page archives on why this isn't related to Neil. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 18:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Tracy Byrnes

A tag has been placed on Tracy Byrnes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 (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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
