Grammar problems? Me? Just read on. edit

Machchunk, for someone that is such a grammar nazi you sure do have a problem writing English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.100.69 (talkcontribs)

First off, I really don't think that was needed or even fit for that page. Second, show me ANY major grammar mistakes I've made aside from accidentally not typing "find" right here (which IS, in fact, not on purpose, I don't know where you'd get that) and I'll coincide, but so far I don't see anything that would make anybody think I have bad grammar. Third, um, does my supposed bad grammar have ANYthing to do with me getting reported for saying I'm someone on a different website?
Someone here needs to think before they start mudsliging. Machchunk 03:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
You've been blocked twice for incivility. This really isn't the way to "learn your lesson". -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Jeez, pretty tight on everything around here. Tsssssss...would "start mudslinging" be an okay substitute? Machchunk 04:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
And just to add, I don't want to go through another round of this stuff, if you know what I mean. Just try to understand, I've used curse words a lot on the Internet, and no one cares about that. It's really hard to get used to this kind of super-strict community. Machchunk 04:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
It's got nothing at all to do with swearing. It's the angry tone of your comments. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
All of that I wrote in my first response is entirely true, though. Would YOU like someone baselessly accusing YOU, and that person just leaving and giving you no explanation as to what he did? Talking about the unregistered guy, not you. Machchunk 04:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
No, but if you're in the right and state your case effectively, you have nothing to worry about. Indulging in personal attacks just weakens your claims. I don't always keep a cool head either, but I know when to stop before things escalate. Besides, it's just some guy on the Internet -- if you know you're right, why bother dignifying his accusations with an argument? (Just to clarify, I have no idea at this point what the argument between you two is about, just that incivility was involved.) -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Just to clarify, I have no idea at this point what the argument between you two is about
It's not really an argument, just some statement he/she/it made out of the blue saying I have bad grammar and I'm a grammar Nazi. Neither of which are true, and he provided no evidence to back his first claim. Machchunk 04:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply


I don't have a problem with you defending yourself against that, but the approach and verbiage was just too confrontational. Not that I'm trying to tell you what to do (seriously), but if the guy can't respond back in the same know-it-all fashion that he first accused you with, ignore him. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, it might've been, but it's changed now.
And right now I am ignoring him, I'm just working this little thing out with you. Machchunk 04:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
It's cool, we don't have a thing as far as I'm concerned. I've got no problems with you, and I hope it's mutual. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your warning to User talk:74.65.247.237 edit

Under the circumstances, the {{blatantvandal}} was a bit extreme. In most cases, warnings should be used in sequence: test1, test2, test3, test4. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I checked on the vandalism page, and it looks like {{blatantvandal}} is the next in the sequence.
And the vandalism to EBaum's World looks exactly the same as when you warned him. So I don't see how it's any less blatant.
I see you changed it. In any case, don't make it seem like you were the one that reverted the vandalism. --Machchunk | make some noise at me 00:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
That's a good point about the Wikipedia:Vandalism page; I just changed it. The difference is that he hasn't vandalized enough times, or seriously enough, to reach the threshold of being blocked. With the blatantvandal warning on the page, the next person to warn him (if he does vandalize again) is likely to report him to WP:AIV, and that's not appropriate right now. I downgraded it to correct that, and I signed it because I was the one who placed the corrected warning. Anyway, no big deal, and it's all sorted out now. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Cite edit

I am concerned how that particular animation on the site is notable enough to be mentioned. How is it more notable than other features of the site? Might just be better off replacing it with Bubb Rubb.--Andeh 17:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:10000Days.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:10000Days.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 insure 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. BigrTex 20:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Erm, I didn't upload that image. I just accidentally reverted it back to a faulty version, then undid that mistake. Just to let you know. --Machchunk | make some noise at me 01:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for letting me know. It looks like someone has already started working on the issue. ~ BigrTex 15:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image:Q_and_not_u_power_cd.JPG edit

I have tagged Image:Q_and_not_u_power_cd.JPG as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Now its overhead dark light daybreak cd.JPG) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Now its overhead dark light daybreak cd.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the help edit

Hi dude. I'd just like to say thanks for all the help with the HTF pages. I've noticed you editing and keeping it up to date. I've been doing it all for a while by myself and its been a headache >_<. And I don't know what the creator of the page is doing :(.

So please continue keeping it up to date with complete infomation. I'm also hoping you will fix any thing out of place :P.

Also if you spot any vandilism please report it. I have been trying to get the page semi-locked for days. To this point nothing has turned up. So please watch it carefully. Especially Flakys Discription.Tedmund (Dedicated Happy Tree Friends fan) 19:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:B e taylor pic 121906.PNG edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:B e taylor pic 121906.PNG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (tc) 16:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
