A few different issues.

First, please note that I deleted Oopart since it was redundant to OOPArt and you said on the talk page that it was a mispelling. Second, regarding this edit: please be aware of Wikipedia's No personal attacks policy and also that Wikipedia's goal is to write neutral encyclopedia articles, not to debate the validity or not of specific ideas. Thanks. JoshuaZ 01:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:000 7289.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:000 7289.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading such a cool picture of yourself. However, it needs an image tag. If you are the image creator, decide which tag you want to use. Here are a few tags you can choose from. Pick one, click 'edit' on your image, and add the tag at the end of the image editing page, on its own line. If you're not the artist, ask the artist which tag you should use. Thanks!
  • {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}—Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike. This is one of several CC licenses. This version permits free use, including commercial use; requires that you be attributed as the creator; and requires that any derivative creator or redistributor of your work use the same license.
  • {{pd-self}}—Public Domain. There is some question whether it is possible under existing law to release one's work into the public domain; but this is still the "license" of choice for some.

Thanks for your help! happy editing! Verloren Hoop 18:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Falsifiable

Just a note: you are using the word "falsifiable" wrong on your user page. You have currently written: The Genesis account is a falsifiable truth, as it cannot be proven wrong but that doesn't exactly mean it's right. "Falsifiable" means, roughly "can be proven wrong," so "it cannot be proven wrong but that doesn't exactly mean it's right" is only correct if you mean that the theory in question is not falsifiable. Just though I would try to clarify that, since it looks like either a misunderstanding of the meaning or else a typo. :-) --Fastfission 00:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And while we're on the topic of misunderstandings.

You may also want to be aware that Java Man was almost certainly not a gibbon. Among other problems, the skull is much to large. See [1]. Also, the claim about part of it being found 70 miles away is a misunderstanding arising from the same group discovering 70 miles away the Wadjak skull pictured here [2]. JoshuaZ 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JoshuaZ for the awareness. Perhaps the femur was more recnt that the skullcap, so then as a matter of fact we must assume that they were not even related species. Java man had 940 cc, perhaps being most likely some king of athrophied human or something like that. You just got the skullcap. Java man is allegedly a homo erectus, just like the Peking man, right? That's just trusting in C14 dating, and for your sadness a recently dead seal in Antarctica was dated 1300 years old by C14. How could it have been 1300 years old if it had been killed 3 days ago?--Arturo #7 03:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to get in an extended discussion with you about this on Wiki (if you want to continue over email, that would be fine). I was merely pointing out that Java man was not at all Gibbon like. Also, I did not intend to make any claim that Java man is by itself very useful evidence- we have many other homo erectus remains at this point. Your others claims are similarly flawed or misguided. Note for example, that seals could easily be found to be much older by C14 dating than they are due to the reservoir effect (which is why when dating marine life using C14 one often needs to think carefully about what sort of life it was and what its habitat was (and why one in fact often uses other methods to cross-calibrate)).

Recreation of deleted material

Please do not recreate deleted material such as template:User christian... thanks. I've deleted this template. ++Lar: t/c 20:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it's your stuff if you do believe or not in God, do not parrot your lame ideas into others. --Arturo #7 20:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer to keep discussions threaded, see the header on my talk page, so I've refactored to here, and you can answer here. I deleted this template under the criteria for speedy deletion, G4 (recreation of deleted content)... This template, and similar ones, has been debated and deleted multiple times. Please review our policies in this area. Also, the use of the term " parrot your lame ideas" could be viewed as incivil. Please review our civility policies and keep them in mind for further comments, thanks. Finally, there are review processes if, after reviewing our practices and policies, you really think this deletion was not justified... ++Lar: t/c 20:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So then why was it deleted? =S--Arturo #7 21:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
CSD G4, as I said before, "Recreation of previously deleted material". This template is divisive and it (and close variants) have been deleted multiple times already. See the Templates for deletion archives. Note also that the template has been userified, if you really want to use it, see User:Xoloz/UBX/User_Christian and transclude it onto your page and change it around as you see fit. ++Lar: t/c 10:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
what do you mean by divisive? I'm just asking why it was deleted the first time.. There are templates for atheists and agnostics I guess, so why shouldn't there be a template for christians? Seems kinda suspicious..--Arturo #7 15:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:GUS and User_talk:Xoloz/UBX/User_Christian. If you are unhappy with this, take it to WP:DRV. This box has been discussed to death many times. Note that "X is bad and Y is bad and X exists so why can't Y exist" is invalid as an argument here. The atheist and agnostic templates need to go too. Sorry, I'm done with this, there's nothing more to say. ++Lar: t/c 16:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A1 articles

Please stop creating singe line articles or articles that have nothing but a category. They are deleted on sight. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  21:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently working on this article, and I'll edit on my own words but I used the s8int.com stuff as a basis for it. I'm trying to find more external documentation on the findingd, perhaps doesn't seem to work out so well. As it seems like www.misteromania.it is the sole site providing good information on the Caria unknown civilization, I'm going to ask for permission to translate and publish it, perhaps how could I put the authorization tag here? Could you explain me please? Thanks --Arturo #7 21:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helpme tag

Do you require assistance? —JD[don't talk|email] 21:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, thanks for coming! I was working on an article on an alleged unknown civilization near Girifalco, Italy. But a more in-depth research led me to just 2 results on Google about it, so that doesn't make sense. Is it just a hoax? --Arturo #7 21:39, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can't tell you if it's a hoax or not, but I can advise you on what you should do; but I'll have to see the page first. Also, in future, you should put the {{helpme}} tag on your talk page, and wait for somebody to answer it; they'll remove it for you. —JD[don't talk|email] 21:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This alleged unknown calabrese civilization doesn't have a proper name and doesn't have so much sources. --Arturo #7 21:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Does the subject of that page has its own Wikipedia article? —JD[don't talk|email] 21:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have to put the hang on on the article page not the discussion page.

Read the template on your article and follow the instructions. It tells you exactly were to put the hang-on. Mattisse(talk) 21:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
