[edit] SF Bay

Thank you for the compliment, but contributing the images in the first place is much more valuable. Those are good photos, and give a sense of the local landscape that isn't conveyed by the other images on the page.

If I can make a small suggestion, please use the "Show preview" button before saving your edits. It can save a lot of clutter in the page history. TCC (talk) (contribs) 20:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

There's lots of good information starting at WP:HELP, also accessible via the Help link in the navigation box to the left. You've probably already been there, but it's hard to know what features are available until you've poked around here awhile.
I don't know what trailing spaces you're talking about, since I didn't remove any. Image syntax for galleries is rather more limited than for embedded images, allowing only the filename and a caption, so I cut all the extra arguments, but no spaces that I recall. Note, however, that you don't need to use underscores in filenames. That's what Wikipedia uses to refer to the files internally, but as far as Wiki syntax is concerned you can use spaces. See my latest edit on the article for an example. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I would like to second the suggestion about using the "Show preview" button. Those histories stay forever, and it creates much work for editors who try to use the history. Chris the speller 18:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kenny G

I just wanted to thank you for uploading the 30-second sample of a Kenny G track. It's something I hadn't thought of doing myself, and I think it adds quite a bit to the article. For the time being though, I've removed the Breathless album cover underneath it - I think it's a bit unnecessary and untidy, but maybe it's just me. Let me know what you think.  H4cksaw  (talk) 11:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Jazz

I can't actually ban him, but I'll see what I can do. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 03:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Vba ani.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Vba ani.gif. 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:

[edit] Fuck you

Don't be asking for me to be banned asshole. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sean mc sean (talk • contribs) 08:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Sean talk

I thought that you had ALREADY been banned and I concurred on another users talk page (not on the Jazz talk page).

As I mentioned about you on Klptyzm's talk (and you actually attempted to delete from his talk LOL), for unknown reasons, you have repeatedly reverted the same reasonable edits by me and others without any comment or justification by you. Removing material from Wikipedia, as you did, is poor behavior and results in a bad encyclopedia knowledge base. It is also against stated Wikipedia rules.

As I had been unfamiliar with how disputes can be resolved, I will take whatever steps are necessary.

Bob Uriel8 12:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Go fuck yourself you faggot - Sean mc Sean 09:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Please see WP:EQ. Also realize there are many wikis. Lots of people fight over Wikipedia when possibly one or more sides in an edit conflict would be happier editing on other wikis that cater to their points of view. Maintaining a neutral point of view is not natural behavior for most humans, only a few humans have learned to do it, and then usually only in limited contexts. For what it's worth, I find myself getting less upset at seeing my work deleted on Wikipedia when I am also editing on other wikis which have different cultures. --Teratornis 17:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vitamins

Re: Vitamins are nutrients required in very small amounts for essential metabolic reactions in the body, and which cannot be (endogenously) produced by the body, itself. "In general my addition is true with notable exceptions. Shouldn't it be there?"

Well, you see, those notable exceptions are the problem with the addition. Perhaps a simile will illustrate this. Okay, say you were going to write a definition of a Ford Mustang. You would say in the first sentence:

"The Ford Mustang is a car/automobile produced by Ford Motor Company...." a similar addition to the one above would read "....and they cannot be red."

Well clearly there are red Mustangs, and without a modifier like "some" or "most" the sentence must mean "...all Mustangs are not red" (or if you prefer "...all vitamins cannot be (endogenously) produced by the body, itself). Clearly this is not true.

Adding a modifier ("...some/most/many Mustangs cannot be red") doesn't really help the definition either, when the important things that all Mustangs have in common is that they are "cars produced by the Ford Motor company" (or Vitamins are nutrients required in very small amounts for essential metabolic reactions in the body). Whether Mustangs are red or not, (or if vitamins can be produced in the body) doesn't help define them any better, it merely confuses the reader, when they read later that: "...some mustangs are red" (or "some vitamins are produced/converted by the body itself"). Does this make sense? Let me know if you have any questions.--DO11.10 17:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Removed UNR Information

Uriel, I removed your edits because they were not encylopedic (i.e., placing information about how a professor rates on RateMyProfessor etc. and how likable he is) and are not appropriate for the article. There is already a prominent redirect/see also to UNLV at the very top of the page, and your link to the arts page, whatever it was, was not descriptive. Madmaxmarchhare 16:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Just to be a little more specific:

Edits such as these are not appropriate for a Wikipedia page.

==Faculty==
- Top Rated :Professors in all subjects at UNR at RateMyProfessors.com
-
- ===IS===
- Dr. Michael Ekedahl - a star lecturer who uses his own books. Remember to ask questions and don't let him wave his hands. It's rude. Most of the assignments and tutorials for VS.NET are right on his website for you to get a head start. You could be employed after IS 389! Ekedahl is a former contractor, ask him. His score is 4.3 at RateMyProfessors.com.

In order to be "notable," professors must be more than simply a "top rated" professor on RateMyProfessors and that one could be employed after taking their class. Please see other notable university pages for what is, and what is not acceptable on a uni page. Madmaxmarchhare 16:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits on African American history

Hello! I see that you've been putting a lot of effort into improving the African American history article. (It does need a lot of work.) Adding that new subsection heading "Introduction of slavery" was a very good idea. And it definitely needs a section on segregation -- hard to believe there was nothing on that! (When I find some time, I will try to expand that.)

Seeing as you're still "learning the ropes" here on Wikipedia, I have a couple of suggestions for you.

First, you can save yourself a whole lot of wasted effort if you take some time to read pages that explain how to edit, how to do reference tags, etc. Also, the manual of style is very important -- and very useful.

Secondly, you will make life an awful lot easier for your fellow editors (such as myself) if you make good use of the "show preview" button when you're editing. This feature allows you to try out your changes and see what they will look like before you save them. When each individual trial-and-error change is saved, it takes a great deal of time & effort for other editors who are keeping an eye on the article to go back through all of those saved edits to see what was done. And as a couple of other editors have already pointed out (above), the resulting clutter makes the article's edit history virtually unusable. That "show preview" button is my best friend when I'm editing! :)

One other thing I should mention: as a rule, it's far better to link terms to an article in Wikipedia -- rather than to Wiktionary, which generally doesn't add much of value. I didn't have any trouble finding good WP links for both of those Wiktionary links. Sometimes you have to do a bit of looking around, but it usually pays off, so it's worth the effort.

Hope this has been helpful! Regards, Cgingold 12:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christina Applegate

Please do not replace free images with unfree ones, as you did on the Christina Applegate article. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use for more information about this. ShadowHalo 01:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The DVD cover did not meet Wikipedia's fair use policy because it was being used to illustrate the person rather than the DVD. As stated at Template:DVDcover, DVD covers can only be used to discuss the DVDs they represent. In addition, the first fair use criteria states that an unfree image should not be used when a free alternative is available or could be created. ShadowHalo 02:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ray Kurzweil

You may be able to find what your looking for in Nanotech Could Give Global Warming a Big Chill, where Kurzweil discusses this topic. Morphh (talk) 19:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SB:XLI

Hester has broken several records this season, yet all the records are mentioned in one section. Why does one record merit its own section? Just because it was the Super Bowl does not mean anything. Even after that, Hester was shut down - regardless of what the Colts did, Hester did not even do anything after that. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  02:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Also, there are no other GA/FA NFL articles, which base an sub section on one isolated play. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  02:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
The subsection only takes away from the quality of the article. There's no point what-so-ever to make a section about an isolated incident. Mind you, Hester returned two kicks for TDs against the Rams and had almost 300 All purpose Yards; Hester only returned one kick for a TD and had less than 110 All purpose yards against the Colts in what likely seems like a losing effort. A paragraph would be more reasonable, except there would only be two or three legitimate sentences. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  02:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
I guarentee there will be a better mention of Hester's feat. However, it will have to wait till tomorrow, as I have to get some prozac to wash down that loss. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  03:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
I was going nuts when Hester returned that kick. Hester was seemingly the X factor the Bears needed; When the Colts stopped giving him chances, the Bears started to struggle. Benson's injury also set us back. :-( --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  03:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You may wish to review WP:EL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided about blog citations

Hello, you may wish to review WP:EL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided. Links to blogs normally are not acceptable as a link, especially in a biography. I have posted a message on Bob Hope's talkpage. Ronbo76 05:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

What away to rock out for black history month! You've done a great job improving this article. Thanks so much! futurebird 21:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black History Month vandalism by User_talk:209.158.179.245

I gave him a warning. You can do this yourself, see WP:WARN. Once a user gets a level 4 warning and then vandalizes again, you can report it to WP:AIV to get an admin to block the user. --Rory096 17:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UCSC images

Hi Uriel8. I don't have any encyclopedic UCSC-related images aside from the ones I've uploaded, which are on the main article and the residential college articles. Also, I think I'll go ahead and move the images to Commons, since I have the originals on my computer and plan to make improvements to them. szyslak (t, c) 00:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Christina Applegate - The Brutal Truth.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Christina Applegate - The Brutal Truth.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais

An article that you created, Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais Thank you. SkierRMH 08:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

See my proposal in Wikipedia talk:Etiquette#Suggesting alternative wikis? for a wiki outplacement service. It irks me when people just delete articles on Wikipedia without bothering to suggest suitable alternative wikis for content deemed unsuitable for Wikipedia. In this case, the suitable wiki is Bicycling Wiki. If Wikipedia does not want your bicycling-related article, Bicycling Wiki does! Please copy your article to Bicycling Wiki for backup. If Wikipedia decides to delete your article, we can develop the article on Bicycling Wiki, and perhaps someday try again on Wikipedia once the article meets Wikipedia's requirements. --Teratornis 17:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I know how you feel. I have had not one, but ten of my articles simultaneously nominated for deletion. Regards, Dfrg.msc 21:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Centaurus A

With a few exceptions, the SEDS.org website is so inaccurate, poorly referenced, or out of date that I generally revert or revise citations to those websites immediately. A "citation needed" tag is actually more useful, as it indicates more clearly than a reference to the SEDS website that the information is unverified. This is why I reverted the article. (Also, since galaxy was a feature article yesterday, several people have been making small edits to random extragalactic articles. My first assumption was that you were just another random person making a one-time edit.)

If you want, I can find a few refereed journal articles to describe whatever it is that needs to be described in Cen A. For examples of what I have done, see NGC 3031 or NGC 4594. This article looks like it needs clean-up anyway. Dr. Submillimeter 14:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

It is true that many articles have this section, but it is not required if there aren't any additional links to warrant it. Wikipedia:Guide to layout#See also emphasises that "it should ideally not repeat links already present in the article." -- Chuq (talk) 00:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May 2007 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - May 2007
From the editor

This is the first issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Criteria for B-Class status: The assessment criteria for B-Class have been changed. {{WikiProject Germany}} template now has 5 switches, B-Class-1 through B-Class-5 that correspond to 5 easily checked criteria that an article should meet to be assessed as B-Class. The advantage of this system is that now there is a clear boundary between Start-Class and B-Class articles. Authors of articles that were assessed as Start-Class now get more direct feedback what they should improve to attain a B-Class rating.

All of our B-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class articles now need to be checked whether they meet any of the B-Class criteria. This is a major effort, and we need your help! If you want to help, but don't know how, please post at the project talkpage.

  • Cities and municipalities task force

A task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities has been started and is looking for help.

This newsletter was delivered by Kusma using AWB to all members of WikiProject Germany. If you do not want to receive this newsletter in the future, please leave a note at the talk page of the Outreach department so we can come up with a better spamlist solution. Thank you, Kusma 12:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fiber

Uriel

Thanks for your note. Cellulose is a non-digestible fiber but as a polysaccharide, it is partially fermentable meaning that it is a resistant starch -- see table 3 in http://members.ift.org/NR/rdonlyres/7F1901F3-743E-4C1A-8A3A-38473B8A1037/0/crfsfsv01n3p073077ms20001598.pdf

which is a reference used in the Fiber article. Read those first pages of the Tungland & Meyer article and you'll see it is not black & white as an insoluble fiber.

Also http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/basics/polysac.html

Also, to cite products like Citrucel gives an opening for other commercial sites to be added -- not the intent of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:George_Benson_-_Breezin.ogg

Thanks for uploading Image:George_Benson_-_Breezin.ogg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 13:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:George Benson - Breezin.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:George Benson - Breezin.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 (talk) 20:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008
From the editor

This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Cities and municipalities task force

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here

  • Article Assessment:

There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.
