From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! On Wikipedia, I spend most of my time patrolling recent changes. If, while doing so, you believe I have made a mistake, please note:
  • I am only human, I sometimes make mistakes. Edits I revert, I generally revert as they appear to be vandalism of some sort. If you believe I have made a mistake, just undo my edit, and leave me a message pointing it out to me here. Please don't leave me a template message, if I've made a bad edit, chances are it was a mistake. And, if I have reverted your edit, whether vandalism or a mistake, please don't abuse me with vandalism here. It will be quickly reverted.
  • I am not here everyday. If you leave me a message and I don't respond immediately, don't panic! I will get back to you the next time I am online and see your message.

Welcome!

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:BGW-OldLogo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:BGW-OldLogo.png. 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. BJBot (talk) 12:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd delete it myself if I could. I replaced it with Image:BGW-OldLogo.jpg Uncle Milty (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Racism in the United States

I had removed some poorly sourced claims in this article, which a new anon IP has been reverting back in. Now you have reverted the same material back. Boodlesthecat Meow? 01:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with removing poorly sourced material. Why are you being contentious about it? Boodlesthecat Meow? 01:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Leaving aside your uncivil claims about my "pattern", let's review together this section:
  • In the United States, there have been crimes committed against whites on the basis of their ethnicity. These crimes are often localized and occur in areas where whites are a racial minority. They do not receive the same media attention as other racially motivated crimes.[1]
This is sourced to a "Loompanics" website. Is this a reliable source to you?
  • The Nation of Islam, a religious and social/political organization with the self-proclaimed goal of improving the condition of the Black people in America, has been described as espousing antiwhite and antisemitic views.[2] and anti-white.[3]
this is sourced to weak refs that do not demonstrate "Racism against white Americans", which is the name of this section.
  • Some Black nationalists propagate pseudohistory to emphasize alleged Black superiority over whites.[4]
There is no indication has this demonstrates "Racism against white Americans".
Please stop reverting poorly sourced contentious material. thank you. Boodlesthecat Meow? 02:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, if you think "Loompanics" is a reliable source for an article on racism, then we are obviously on different wavelengths. I'll remove the poorly sourced information with an explanation on the talk page. Cheers. Boodlesthecat Meow? 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for catching my typo at Transportation and Communications in Mexico. It was a brain hiccup.  :) The Transhumanist    23:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage Repair

Not a problem, the same IP vandalized my page as well and I noticed he had edited another user page so I took a peek and fixed it :) SyBerWoLff 17:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] James Buchanan

As an historian and a supporter of tolerance and civil liberties for all, I deny that acknowledging the historical fact that we have had a gay president is "unconstructive". Please leave historical corrections to the historians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.17.170.95 (talk) 20:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just asking

Recently on an IP address that vandalized Nicole Richie, you put a message on the talk page that looked like this:

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.

What template is that; I need to know. Thanks, Astrale01talkcontribs 23:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the revert

Thanks for helping take care of the vandalism on the Karaoke Revolution songlist page from earlier this month! 70.236.10.83 (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
