[edit] Welcome and Quick Note

First off, welcome, Waycool27, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, please come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.  

Second, I saw that you did the split on the XO-1 (laptop) article. I reverted your change, for the moment, and wanted to leave you a note about it. There is a discussion going on about whether to do this split on the article's talk page here. I didn't feel that we'd really reached the consensus with that vote yet and thought your split was a little premature. You should leave a message on that page voting in favor a split, if you indeed support it and lets see how things develop.

Also, you botched the split a little bit in the process. For example you moved it to One Laptop per Child Foundation which is a separate and related organization but is not the same as OLPC. Also, you did not adjust the redirects so OLPC kept pointing to the XO-1 (laptop) article. That's all OK and I think I've fixed it all back but you should work with someone else and have some discussion when you do a change like this. When you're done, you should leave a message on the talk page so other folks know to clean up in areas that you've missed.

Thanks again for your help! I look forward to working with you on the OLPC articles and perhaps even on other things in Wikipedia moving forward! —mako๛ 16:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting OLPC and XO-1 (laptop)

Thanks for your comment on Talk:XO-1 (laptop). Why don't you also add a vote there if, indeed, you support a split. That will help build up support for the split like the one you did yesterday. —mako๛ 16:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Paul-Reiser-Babyhood.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Paul-Reiser-Babyhood.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm going to create an entry for the book Babyhood by Paul Reiser. It would be up within the next few days. Waycool27 10:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of 2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis

An article that you have been involved in editing, 2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis. Thank you. -- Jreferee (Talk) 17:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo-marinabay.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo-marinabay.jpg. 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] Vandal

Hi Waycool27 ! Good to see you fixing what that vandal had been doing. I cant work out how to fix what he has done myself. Boylo 05:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] The Mandogs

Thanks for cleaning up The Mandogs article. I've had my mouse on the history tab all night trying to stop vandalism from one or two individuals. I guess a few of their tricks got through. Imperfect.dark 10:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CSD on Dr Bala V Balachandran

Hi there. I removed the {{db-bio}} template from Dr Bala V Balachandran, as the article asserted notability for academics in that it asserted awards. Cheers. :) --slakr 08:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the "Mass Install"

I feel that the page is needed to as a definition to explain to someone what a "Mass Install" is. I could have included the definition in the article, but that would be very irrelevant. That would be like explaining what gravity is when you are explaining what causes a plane to stall. You should write "The plane stalls if gravity pulls down on it and it cannot escape" or something like that rather than "The plan stalls if gravity (gravity is the force that pulls one mass to another mass. It can also apply to the pull of objects, such as people, balloons, planes, etc to the pull of a planet.) pulls down on it and it cannot escape".

Do tell me if the 2nd is not something you too would mark as "off topic" and simply make a link to gravity. Because if the page is deleted, then the page I was editing will have a large parenthesis part.

Also, please sign with four "~" marks, or at least make your name a link. Otherwise, it makes it much less conveniant to go to your user-page. Thank you. I will be posting the above in the talk page of the mass install page as well as the link to the article I was editing that needed it.

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for making your name a link, that was alot easier on going to the history, looking for your change, etc. Anyhow, I see they deleted it and ignored my reason for keeping it (or found it not adequate). Anyways, I kept the word as link, so that if anyone else wants to know what it is, they can click and go "hmm, maybe I should do research and make this page" or something. Anyways, thank you.

[edit] CSD tagging

Just so you know, it's considered proper to put a message on the talk page of the user whose article you put a CSD on. See WP:WARN for more details. GlassCobra 18:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. I guess I just beat you to it once. Sorry. GlassCobra 18:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Waycool27/monobook.js on CAT:CSD

FYI, your Javascript file User:Waycool27/monobook.js is showing up at CAT:CSD. I haven't looked closely but I imagine you need to modify the code to something like '{{' + 'db-meta}}' instead of just '{{db-meta}}' since the latter may get interpreted as a template call. —Wknight94 (talk) 13:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Called Subscriber Identification

Call Subscriber ID is a strange article and appear to be totally unsourced. It's absolutely wrong IMHO because it says CSID is sent by sender while it's sent by recipient. No entry can be found by searching Call Subscriber ID on Google while a lot are found for Called Subscriber Identification. Please delete Call Subscriber ID not Called Subscriber Identification (that makes pair with Transmitting Subscriber Identification) or leave both and let community decide in time . --Armando82 18:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] After reverting vandals, please remember to also warn them

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Oklahoma City bombing: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. --Kralizec! (talk) 18:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
