Image:Mollyhatchet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mollyhatchet.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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 01:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove the tag until an WP:ADMIN evaluates the picture and whether it is replaceable. Cheers! -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 01:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Clayburgh rick.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Clayburgh rick.jpg. 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.

Copyright problems with Image:Wallofvoodoo.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Wallofvoodoo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Peter G Werner 01:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Monica Hannan

An editor has nominated Monica Hannan, 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/Monica Hannan 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. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 18:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I hope you're not too offended that I nominated for deletion an article which you had created. My intention is certainly never to offend another editor much less a fellow member of WPND. I've had a tag on the article for quite some time requesting other editors to show why they thought Hannan was notable enough that she deserved her own article. I didn't feel that notability had been shown and the tag remained in place for a long time so...I finally nominated it for deletion. It's not that I'm against having info about Hannan on Wikipedia...far from it, actually. I just left a comment on the AfD page saying that I think a great decision would be to merge the info from Monica Hannan into the NBC North Dakota article and adding info about other anchors too. I would actually be happy to see anchor sections added to other ND tv station articles too. If we did that, we could turn the names of the anchors (like Monica Hannan) into redirects to the relevant station page. Let me know what you think. --MatthewUND^(talk) 04:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CherylLadd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CherylLadd.jpg. 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 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. Addhoc 16:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Weatherman90/Hurricanes

Please consider blanking the aforementioned page. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, is not a publisher of original thought, and it is not a place to write things for fun. First and foremost, it is an encyclopedia. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:P4250032.JPG

Thank you for uploading Image:P4250032.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Trixt 00:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

08' Election

Thank you for your comments. It is great to here that i am not the only Republican left! I am a proud Republican. On your comment about me being pro-life, and Guliani being pro-choice. I do however like McCain, and Huckabee. And i am begining to turn against Guliani, it is just that he appeals to moderates, and he wouldbe able to win! However, i know you like Mike Huckabee and no offense, but i would like to see him run for the U.S. Senate in 2008 against Mark Pryor. I hope you get this comment, and respond on my talk page! Cheers, Politics rule 8:29am EST. 4/18/2007

RE:08' Election

got message. As you said, Huckabee is a young, promising politician. We Republicans need to stick together. I am sure i will contact you soon! Politics rule 1:03pm EST.- 4/21/2007

Template:AtlanticHurricaneSeasons

Is this necessary? We have a similar function in Template:Infobox hurricane season, which is far less bulky and confusing, and already links to List of Atlantic hurricane seasons. --Core desat 00:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I really wish you would have discussed that first before putting it on every page. I personally don't see the need. I'll bring it up on the WPTC talk page. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

MFD nomination for User:Weatherman90/Hurricanes

I've nominated User:Weatherman90/Hurricanes for deletion on MFD since it appears to violate WP:NOT. You are welcome to give your opinion there. --Core desat 01:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

That's alright - I had been meaning to blank it anyway. Weatherman90 01:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay, done. --Core desat 02:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

TfD nomination of Template:AtlanticHurricaneSeasons

Template:AtlanticHurricaneSeasons has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Core desat 06:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Error in The 'Lufkin Daily News' page.

You stated on April 8, 2006 on the The Lufkin Daily News page:

The Lufkin Daily News is a newspaper that serves the city of Lufkin, Texas. The newspaper was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1971 for Public Service for an obituary of a local man who died in Marine training camp, which grew into an investigation of that death and a fundamental reform in the recruiting and training practices of the United States Marine Corps.

On the 1971 Pulitzer Prize page it says it went to:

Public Service:
- Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel for investigation of environmental problems, particularly blocking strip mine operations in northwest North Carolina.

This is also confirmed at Pulitzer Prizes for 1971.

It appears your obituary sentence is in error. I believe you would be the best one to correct this.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dokkenpic.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dokkenpic.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. BetacommandBot 21:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi

I am wondering (making a stop thru in bismarck for one nite) if the NHL playoffs are broadcast in bismarck / if there are any good sports bars that will have coverage of the wings / ducks series - SniperSarge 22:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a social networking site

Hello. I noticed recently that you have been using User:Politics rule's talk page to discuss your political views with other editors. This practice is strictly forbidden in WP:NOT#SOCIALNET. Please refrain from using Wikipedia as a social networking service or you will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 16:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. This is a reply to your comments on my talk page. Please refrain from making personal attacks or you will be blocked from editing. Also, please remember to not bite newcomers and always remain civil and assume good faith. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 23:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I've been advised by WJBscribe to ignore your comments, even though they are ageist and political. However, I would like to clarify that I am not doing this because of your political views. I am doing this because I worry about the fate of Wikipedia. I would also like to explain my reasons for my opposition of the president. The first reason is that he is not my president, and many, many people in my country consider him to be a failure. The second reason is that, as a devoted Catholic, I am inclined to oppose anyone who uses violence to solve disputes. I would like to inform you that I will be ignoring future personal attacks coming from you, unless they become harassment, at which point I will report your actions to the admins. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 01:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I have left a message on User:Politics rule's talk page. I believe you two are becoming hostile because of my warnings. As said on User:Politics rule's talk page, I feel insulted by the fact that you think I am prejudiced and warning you because of your political views. I warned you because of the reasons on User:Politics rule's talk page. I would like to inform you I will be requesting mediation from other admins, probably from User:Husond, Tony the Marine, and User:WJBscribe, and maybe requesting comments from others. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie^{Talk • Contribs • Spread the love!} 00:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

North Dakota State Auditor

The auditor's website refers to the office as "North Dakota State Auditor" and other similar auditor articles on Wikipedia also seem to include the word "State". Because of this, I moved the article to North Dakota State Auditor. Thanks for creating this article...it's great to see more redlinks becoming actual articles! --MatthewUND^(talk) 00:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. The {{North Dakota State Government}} template correctly lists (at least hopefully does!) the actual titles of state government positions. --MatthewUND^(talk) 00:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

BTW, the license you used for Image:Stenehjem-bob.jpg only applies to works of the federal gov, not state. I'm not sure if there is another license that can be used instead. --MatthewUND^(talk) 00:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Good thinking...I hadn't spotted that. --MatthewUND^(talk) 00:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, the PSC thing is a little hard to work with. Perhaps it would be best to remove the "Public Service Commissioner" entry from the template and just link to articles for all three commissioners directly from the North Dakota Public Service Commission article. The only thing about that which doesn't make much sense is the fact that the PSC spots are elected offices and right now all of our elected officials are listed in the "Executive branch" section of the template. --MatthewUND^(talk) 05:41, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Senior Senator

Hey. I see you live in North Dakota. Please, could you answer my question. I would like to point out that in 1992, Kent Conrad retired, and Byron Dorgan won. Dorgan is still in the Senate. And then Conrad ran and won a few years later. Wouldn't this make Dorgan senior senator from North Dakota??

good to talk to you again!=) Politics rule 22:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

That is confusing, but thank you!
