Lolita

In my opinion you mixed up the chronology of the story , I have a Polish edition so I cannot look at the same page as you. In my opinion first Humbert reads a letter from Dolly, and later we learn who the character of Dolly was based on while your edit made it seem like those two things happened almost at the same time. But neither am I a fan of this Bbook or an expert at it, so I will not stick to my point. Regards Mieciu K 18:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eikonal equation

Thank you for the new Eikonal equation which was much needed. I did some fixes on it, and fixed a bug or two. Wonder if you could take a second look at it and see if it all looks right. How about writing a signed distance function article? :) Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Danaë (painting)

On 11 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article ''Danaë (painting)'', which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Great article! Enjoyed reading it. It's on the Main Page for DYK now. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 21:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:23BIPGLY.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:23BIPGLY.GIF. 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. 09:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Galactica Episode change

The episode has been confirmed by Bradley Thompson writer and producer for the re-imagined series that the title IS Dirty Hands. Which i provided a source for. Why did you revert? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a copyright violation, Windsor (soil) appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Windsor (soil) has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

Your edits to Windsor (soil)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Windsor (soil). If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page.

Carboxy-Terminal Domain

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Carboxy-Terminal Domain, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

RE: Flashes Before Your Eyes

The trivia in question was full of OR and could not possibly have been deduced from the episode itself. Also, I think trivia that includes phrases such as "Campy nou nou" and biased phrases as "Spanish giants" merits a non-sensical description. I am at liberty to remove this kind of trivia without consenus if it doesn't fall under the guidelines. SergeantBolt (t,c) 11:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, there has been a terrible misunderstanding here. I have been without the internet since November and I visited the Flashes Before Your Eyes page at the library. I had probably forgotten to close the page and somebody has made edits under my name. I would never just randomly remove trivia. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. SergeantBolt (t,c) 12:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I think you'll find that the only trivia I deleted from Tricia Tanaka is Dead is about Jack not being in the episode. I haven't removed anything to do with Tricia Takanawa. SergeantBolt (t,c) 13:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :) SergeantBolt (t,c) 23:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar lesson

Thank you for the grammar lesson. I don't believe, however, that it was relevant to the case. The sentence in question is composed of three clauses, all with the same subject (Nietzsche), and clearly requiring commas between the clauses. The sentence was equivalent to the following example: "Harry left early for school, becoming the first person to arrive, but was forced to leave immediately due to an emergency phone call." To remove the comma before "but" would not have worked. I deleted the second "Nietzsche" because it seemed to me an unnecessary reiteration of the subject and sounded awkward. Splitting the sentence in two is a better idea (now done). Mtevfrog 23:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

excuse me, but why did you undo my Miguel de Cervantes article edit?

Excuse me, but why did you undo my Miguel de Cervantes article edit--the "expanded bibliography" link I added at the end of the bibliography list that I myself contributed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rubbersoul20 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Ruth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ruth.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:STNmtn closeup.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:STNmtn closeup.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 17:16, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Er. Removing the template doesn't create it... the template is sort of needed to create it properly. fetchcomms☛ 22:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, thank you. I'm working through it to bring it out as a new article. Feel free to help if you're available.

I know that all pro athletes are inherently notable, but before there were no sources at all, and the current ones still need to be sorted out properly (remove Wikipedia refs and use footnotes, etc.) fetchcomms☛ 22:03, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
