[edit] A request to protect Chicken

I saw your request in wikipedia:requests for page protection, and I think you tried your best to request protection. However, I believe that you did not look through instructions there; so rather than doing edits for you, I hope you please re-edit the passage yourself. I'm just letting you know your partial errors, that's all. --Gh87 01:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea I notice.... At the top of the page not at the bottom, the reason I posted it on the bottom is that i am so used to to the report a use, in that page you post at the bottom. Thanks --Wiz126 01:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey...you sound like a nerd. Try cleaning up your image. Oh, and you spelled "major" wrong. Chicken666 17:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reverted edits on CAPTCHA

why remove the link? the captcha.biz site's examples of captchas aren't very strong at all, and the site doesn't actually tell people how to implement them, it just (after 6 pages) gives people a download of a premade form with the weak captcha. Given this, it seems to fit under the 'implementations' heading, which was agreed to be a Bad Thing in the talk for that page.

why not category:spamming? CAPTCHA's main use is to fight spam! perhaps category:anti-spam would be more appropriate, agreed, but why not just change the category instead of removing it?

[edit] Virtual classroom

I've set up the Virtual classroom (VC), which is a forum for the discussion of advanced Wikipedia skills. It differs from the help forums on Wikipedia in that major topics of discussion are scheduled and once started remain continuous.

The reason I'm contacting you is because one of the class assignments is a comparison of our user interfaces. A lot can be learned from individual users, who usually have developed their own ways of doing things. I noticed you are an expert programmer, so you no doubt have some tricks up your sleeve. I'm hoping that you will stop by and share and compare the interfaces you use when browsing and working on Wikipedia. I've also constructed a tools page which presents everything learned from these discussions, and it is growing -- there are some pretty powerful techniques on there now. Even Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have stopped by the VC to show off their tools and methods. It's been a lot of fun, and you are invited. The interface topics are called:

and

I look forward to seeing you there and to learning your wikiways. Sincerely,  The Transhumanist    23:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Parkland Mascot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Parkland Mascot.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] We Need to Settle This Like Gentleman

I'm with you on stopping this vandalism on Khaled Mardam-Bey, but my edit is legitimate and you keep removing it. EctoplasmOnToast 03:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The picture proposed is not appropriate. It is a medium for spam and vandalism. The person who the article is about IS NOT in the picture, except for an edited face of him. By editing the picture you have possibly validated his copyright (Copyright (c) Khaled Mardam-Bey, all rights reserved. ) --Wiz126 03:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
