[edit] Joe A. Kelly

Hi, I removed the speedy tag you placed on this article because it seems to me that the article asserts a modicum of notability. In any event, there is sufficient doubt that I think a deletion request would be better served by opening an AfD, or possibly {{prod}}. Thanks. Johnleemk | Talk 08:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

You've just dared to AfD an article by Billy Hathorn — you're in for a lovely treat — iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dailyshow logo hires.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dailyshow logo hires.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. —Andrew Hampe Talk 22:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dailyshow logo hires.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dailyshow logo hires.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 04:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorizing

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I should check before I start making so many changes.Konczewski 01:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lizzie Grubman

Yes, well, I'm near the point at giving up because no one, not you, the author, nor two editors have given reason why this person is notable. Its clear to me that people just write up articles on whatever they think is relevant for an encyclopedia when its clearly not at all prudent to do so. There is no assertion of notability apart from committing a felony, which is in and of itself, not notable. There is also only one reference for the whole article which is quite poor. JD 3 Aug 2007

[edit] The UK's third city

I'm disinclined to assume good faith with User:62.249.253.204. The same user was behind at least two other IPs this morning (79.65.152.10, 79.73.145.200), tagging mentions of Manchester with the same phrase. — mholland (talk) 17:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Jack-welch.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jack-welch.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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Type punning line height hack

Hi! I noticed your edit here increasing the line height in a <code> snippet. That's a cool trick, and it should really be incorporated into MediaWiki's definition of the <code> tag, so it doesn't have to be done all over the place by hand. I don't suppose you know how to make that happen?

I'll post over on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Programming Languages in the meantime. --Quuxplusone 02:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me.. I'll use that from now on.. Sniperz11talk|edits 18:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oops!

Thanks for fixing my mistake. Not only did I not realize that I had basically razed the Glenn Greenwald:talk page -- I'm not even exactly certain how I did it in the first place!

[edit] User:68.236.180.229 spam

I don't anything about the value Broadwayworld.com links but if they aren't useful links, I'd suggest adding to the blacklist. Making the links dead is the best way to stop spammers. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meet The Robinsons

Thanks for your contribution to the Talk page and article on this. However, many editors have tried to cut down the summary of this complicated plot. I'm sure you're right in thinking it could be shortened more. However, since we've done all we can, could you show us how you would do it? Otherwise, there will never be progress! Cheers.

[edit] This Is Fake DIY AfD

The recent AfD on This Is Fake DIY was recently closed as "No consensus", and a new one has been re-opened at WP:Articles for deletion/This Is Fake DIY (3rd nomination). As an editor that participated in the closed AfD, you may wish to repeat your comments at the current one. Tevildo (talk) 16:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Superbad plot discussion

William, thanks for the link to WP:PLOT. According to the policy, Wikipedia articles...should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development and historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot (my emphasis). Therefore, a detailed summary is expected in addition to other examples of context and significance. I agree this should not be an indiscriminant collection of facts, but I think you've scaled it back to the point were several key plot elements are missing. I'd also like to point out that Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines#Plot states plots should be between 400 and 700 words and they should be comprehensive. I invite you to review my list of specific points on the article's talk page and comment as you see fit. Hoof Hearted (talk) 18:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Improving Facebook to Featured Article status

I am currently working on improving Facebook to Featured Article status, and I noticed that you have made substantial contributions to the article recently. If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could help out and improve the article. Some comments by other editors have been left at the peer review, Wikipedia:Peer review/Facebook/archive2, so feel free to address those issues, also. Thanks for your time!
