"He didn't really talk until he got his girlfriend, and somehow that jump-started his ego, and he went from 'I am Lou, I am nothing' to 'I am the greatest.'

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kenotia-YDYGNLII.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kenotia-YDYGNLII.png. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Quietdrive Promo.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Quietdrive Promo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Revisiting Anberlin's genre

Hi, I noticed you were involved in the previous discussion about Anberlin's genre (specifically the Christian rock genre), and I just wanted to let you know that the matter has resurfaced again. I just wanted to invite you to take a look at the article's talk page and leave a comment sharing your ideas, views, suggestions, etc. Thanks! —Mears man (talk) 03:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

HI...You might want to check your edits there. You are reverting undone vandalism. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 05:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

My recent edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. In the future, please do not experiment on article pages; instead, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Pbroks13 05:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

OK...now this is funny! --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 05:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey dude

How's about growing up?

Oh, and this may be informative. As for who's being a jerk, I think the answer to that question is pretty clear. Hint: not me. --Calton | Talk 04:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted Calton's latest vandalism of your page; we have to stick together and these matters, and I will support you if you choose to file a request for arbitration to stop his apparently endless and exceedingly pointless harassment of other uses. I would also like to point out that his statement "How's about growing up" was an illegal personal attack against you. Lirath Q. Pynnor (talk)

Bear in mind that the user above is fresh off a 33-month block for regular and sustained incivility, vandalism, and block evasions, and his stated purpose is explicitly not editing, but using Wikipedia as soapbox to publicize the Evil That Is Wikipedia and The Great Wrong That Was Done Him. I look here might be instructive. --Calton | Talk 05:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Oops, after typing the above, I've discovered that he's been indefinitely blocked. So never mind. --Calton | Talk 05:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm unblocked now, would you mind creating the complaint and adding my name to it, along with User:Boodlesthecat and User:BillyTFried -- the four of us should be enough to get a fair hearing, although you know how the tyranny works. In any case, I can't make the complaint myself, because the vicious ones will freak out. As far as links demonstrating his behavior, I'm sure you can find a few, and you can add a note that I will gladly supply a half-dozen more if they will simply allow me to. It's clear that some people here think its ok to abuse their authority and make personal attacks, while banning anyone whom they believe is 'misbehaving'. It's time to stop the hypocrisy. Lirath Q. Pynnor (talk)

Your recent edit to Snap (physics)

I have reverted your edit as I believe it to have been in error, albeit in good faith. Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 20:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, now I know you're acting in bad faith ..

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Snap (physics). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Philip Trueman (talk) 20:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... I actually corrected incorrect information. Thanks though. --pbroks13^talk? 03:40, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

No, you didn't. Your text says "In physics, snap, also referred to as jounce, is the fourth derivative of the displacement vector with respect to time, with the first, second, and third derivatives being jerk, acceleration, and velocity, ...". The first derivative of the displacement vector is velocity, not jerk, which is the third. You changed the correct wording to your incorrect wording, twice. I suggest that two apologies are in order - one here and one on my talk page. Philip Trueman (talk) 11:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, you're absolutely correct. I totally misread it twice; I read it as the intergrals being jerk, accel., and velocity. It made sence in my mind.. hah, my apologies. --pbroks13^talk? 00:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Stalking

I was not "stalking" your edits. In case you were wondering, I was actually reading your talk page (curious as to how you interact with other people) and read For An Angel's comment to you. I noticed your afd comment, and decided to help with the article

Huh, your first sentence gets immediately contradicted by the second there, you realize, especially given the poor quality of the "help" (hint: WP:RS describes "non-trivial", which the slightest glance at the so-called New York Times review would have told you). Good luck with that cause-and-effect thing, pal, and your eagerness to assist one long-term, indefinitely blocked troller and two troublemakers in training is noted. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas, as the saying goes.

Oh, and regarding your "joke", this may be informative, as well as this. --Calton | Talk 00:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Bispham Green - I declined your speedy deletion request

Hi there. Just to let you know that I have declined your speedy deletion request on Bispham Green which you had tagged {{db-group}}. Because Bispham is a village, db-group does not apply, in fact no speedy notability criteria apply to geographical locations as they are considered inherently notable. kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 17:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

AIV reports

The problem was that you spelled "vandal" as "valdal". No biggie, though. I've gone and blocked both users indefinitely; good job reporting them! Keep up the good work, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 06:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, yeah. I noticed but you beat me to it! --pbroks13^talk? 06:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Number redirects

I don't really think it necessary to create number redirects such as 763 (number), although I cannot think of a deletion criterion which would allow them to be deleted, except that others near them were previously created by a then-banned user. I would ask you to consider whether it helps the encyclopedia....

— Arthur Rubin (talk) 13:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I can understand that. I actually was thinking that if someone was to look up 763 in the search box that it would redirect to 700 (number), only to realize that I am a complete idiot. I guess I overlooked the "(number)" part. I was going to do all the numbers in the 700's that did not have a page, but I stopped after realizing what exactly I was doing. --pbroks13^talk? 21:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

If you wish them gone (the ones you just created, anyway), you can add {{db-author}} to them, and they should be deleted.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur Rubin (talk • contribs)

Done. --pbroks13^talk? 04:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

thank you

i have added this info —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joey121214 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

New Section

You do realize that if I wanted to continue making the Anberlin article factual all I would have to do is create an account, right? An account is no longer considered new after a few constructive edits. Also I could make a 100 accounts today, all with completely different IP's and in a short time they would no longer be new accounts. So don't think you all won, I just got bored with it. Removing disputed content is not "vandalism." Just because three or four of you agree on something doesn't mean that it should be there. You guys act as if you own the article, and no matter what someone does to the article you can go revert crazy and say "goes against our consensus" vandalism, did not discuss on talk page" "etc." I will admit I am new to wikipedia, but will you show me where it says three or four ppl can have a consensus and control the article and be the only ones that can change it. If that is policy I will accept it. I have been wrong before. I thought something lik a genre had to be backed up by third-party unbiased sources, but hey what do I know? 123.242.230.161 (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

In regards to your multiple account comment, check out WP:SOCK. In regards to your IP address comment, WP:RANGE will let you know that WP is able to block a range of IP addresses. The reason we revert your edits is because we have made a consensus. But realize that you are able to discuss it on the talk page; we are open to opinions. We will gladly discuss your reasoning behind your edits and are willing to change, but you should not argue through your edit summary. Thanks --pbroks13^talk? 21:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

What good would blocking an IP range do? I can make my IP adress what I want, and when I want with all completely new numbers. By the way I read up on policy regarding consensus. It clearly says that it does not affect other users, only the ones involved in the dispute. I am completely new to the situation and did not agree to the consensus. Furthermore, removing false content is not vandalism, nor unconstructive. Making an article be more based on fact than fiction is not "unconstructive." 64.15.157.52 (talk) 22:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Then be a nuisance to everyone, have fun. By the way, Wikipedia:DR#discuss clearly states, "Discuss the issue on a talk page. Never carry on a dispute on the article page itself." You should discuss a dispute on the talk page before making changes. That is what our discussion was for. Again, you are welcome to bring up the dispute again on the talk page. --pbroks13^talk? 00:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Math notation

Hello. Please note my recent edits to Bernstein's constant.

• "Displayed" TeX should be indented by a preceeding colon.
• In non-TeX notation, variables should be italicized but punctuation (including the parentheses) and digits should not. And spaces should preceed and follow "+", "=", etc. This makes it match TeX style.
• "−5", not "-5".

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Demo 2002 EP, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Arbelos articles

Hi Pbroks13,

thanks for your Arbelos-related articles and illustrations. I just now wanted to ask you to create an illustration of the Woo circles - when I surprizingly notice it's just done. Thanks for that. I'll translate the articles into the German wikipedia using your illustrations (I'm German).

Cheers, --Mosmas (talk) 16:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

PS: I am Thomas Schoch, see my German user page :-) --Mosmas (talk) 16:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I was actually meaning to message you, wasn't too sure which account to message you at. Anyways, I was going to ask you if the images accurately portrayed the Schoch line and the Woo circles; please let me know if all of the information is accurate on the articles themselves! Also, let me know if you would rather I talk on your German page (although I don't know German) or on the Wikipedia Commons. --pbroks13^talk? 03:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

We can talk on any of my talk pages (English, German or commons), since I have them all on my watchlist. I'm very busy at present, hence it will take a while until I find the time to check your articles and illustrations, and prepare the German articles. At first view the illustrations seem to be correct. Cheers, --Mosmas (talk) 10:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

PS: Are you really only 18 years old? --Mosmas (talk) 10:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Let's just keep the discussion here, so it is easier to follow. Anything else that is brought up, I'll just message you on your English Wikipedia page (I only ever go on the Commons to upload images); I never go on the German WP, so I wouldn't ever notice a comment or reply.

That's fine, just let me know if you see anything wrong with them. I usually will be able to get to it within a couple of days. And yes, I'm 18 years old, just graduated high school about a month ago. --pbroks13^talk? 02:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Aw crud, whoops

I didn't mean to tag you with that template. The discussion page for the moved page specified it as a test page by the author (who then contradicted himself in the page itself). I'm not quite sure HOW flagging it as one slapped you with the warning, but regardless of what part of the mucky-muck caused that, I meant to get the info across to him/her, not you. - Vianello (talk) 08:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

This is jthensley from Global Aviation. I read about verifiability.

Well, since you said I can ask you whenever I need something and it's no problem, could you do a circuit map for Grand Prix of Toronto (a street circuit in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and Grand Prix of Cleveland (a circuit at Burke Lakefront Airport)?

Here is the Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto: Image:Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto.svg. As for the Grand Prix of Cleveland, I can't seem to find the track map. I'm pretty sure one used to be here, but it looks like they took it off. Any chance you know where to find one? --pbroks13^talk? 18:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, pbroks13. The Thunderhill Raceway Park circuit map looks great. Could you do a circuit map for Virginia International Raceway? The current one has a low resolution. 24.185.49.151 (talk) 14:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Done: Image:VIRaceway lowres.svg. Hope it works for you, let me know. --pbroks13^talk? 03:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you make the circuit map have a higher resolution please? 24.185.49.151 (talk) 14:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there is no reason for a higher resolution. That's whats great about SVG images. With the small image, no matter how much you enlarge it, it will never look bad. Look at the images, even though the original is 200px, if you enlarge it to 800px, it still looks good. --pbroks13^talk? 14:11, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Link fixing

In this edit you replaced "[[Function (mathematics)|function]]s" by "[[Function (mathematics)|functions]]", which is not an improvement. Was this change suggested by peerreviewer?  --Lambiam 10:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the change was made by peerreview. I do not see how you think that to not be an improvement. I could understand if the edit was something like [[function]]s as opposed to [[function|functions]] or [[functions]]. The first alternative is harder to read in Wiki form and harder to type, and the second alternative may not link to the article that is supposed to.

However, [[Function (mathematics)|function]]s and [[Function (mathematics)|functions]] is a different situation. There is no reason to have the "s" outside of the brackets. In doing so, the link becomes harder to read in Wiki form, but reads as functions on the article's page either way.

I can't find any guideline that states why it should be like this. The peereview is supposed to change everything per WP:MOS. I found MOS:LINK#Form, but it does not have an example such as the one above. Thanks. --pbroks13^talk? 16:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Versor thanks

Hello pbroks13: Thank you very much for the spherical_triangle.svg. I have posted it on versor since your work completes my (faulty) request. I have also visited the KMHS article and your gallery so I have a very favorable impression of your accomplishments. Several graphics in your gallery stir me to catch up on some wiki reading.

As for the versor article, as per our discussion in the graphics workshop, the original image uses a particular type of spherical triangle (3 right angles) where separate display of poles of arcs is unnecessary. I note that you also worked on a graphic showing a square on a sphere. Could you draw a obtuse spherical triangle that might illustrate the versor even more gracefully?Rgdboer (talk) 22:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

That would be fine. I am assuming that you'd want the poles to be included? --pbroks13^talk? 05:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Another Polite Request

Could you do a map of Circuit Trois-Rivières? I won't bother you again. 209.2.60.98 (talk) 19:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem; in case you haven't noticed, I really don't mind. There's no "bothering" me by asking for maps. Question though, is this the current track map? It says here, "This track map shows the 2.1 mile course (1977-1985)." Is this the map I should be making? --pbroks13^talk? 07:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

All right, you can find the current track map at the Cicuit Trois-Rivières website on the circuit's article page. Put the mouse cursor on "Races," then click on "Track." You can also Google "racingcircuits" (make sure it's one word), then click on the first result, "Motor Racing Circuit Database." Click on "Canada" and scroll down to see "Trois-Rivières." It has three versions: the current version, the 1977-1985 version (which you have), and a 1967 version. 209.2.60.98 (talk) 18:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I used Inkscape to convert it, which, to be honest, I really shouldn't have used (I was new to vectorizing images). With Inkscape, I actually traced the image. There are programs out there that can actually make graphs, such as plotting and using functions. So, if you want to make vectorized graphs, you should use a software that is meant to do that. If you want to make vector images, Inkscape is a great program. --pbroks13^talk? 06:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. Would you please help me with something else, again. It's about Image:RacoviţaHartăToponimică.svg, it needs a few cosmetic tweaks. Do you think you can help me?
What iI would like first is for the mini map in the lower left corner, to be moved a bit closer to the edge of the canvas, this I guess, is pretty easy.
There also are a few other problems regarding the text. Is there anyway you could make the text in the SVG look exactly like in this PNG]? The color, curvature, and everything. (Put don't include the "Racovita Harta Toponimica" blue title in the SVG).
Also if there is anything else you think you can improve at it, please do it.

I managed to move the mini map, make an actual SVG compass rose (The old one was in a raster format), and changed some some text colors.

Hey thanks. I thought you wouldn't respond, so I asked someone else, Debate. He said he'd work on it, but is not sure when he'll be able to actually do so. I also made a more thorough list of things to be done, at his talk page. If you're still interested, please take a look at that page. If you can please do a few of those things, or maybe you will consider cooperating with Debate, if you two want?

What is the emblem in the middle? --pbroks13^talk? 16:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

It is a simple oval medal, containing "TC" in the middle. (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) Kaygtr (talk) 18:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

How did you know that? Is there any chance you might know where a higher resolution image I could work off of? --pbroks13^talk? 18:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, there is a Turkish article which descripts.

Fclass

What's up? Could you add turn numbers to the svg. track maps you made? Could you also add the pit road for Nikon Indy 300 and Grand Prix of Cleveland? Fclass (talk) 23:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

More dynamite... ;-)

I see you withdrew your contribution. Please don't be discouraged; Wikipedia needs good diagrams, and I'm sure you can contribute something better in the future, as you've done in the past. However, research is of paramount importance in order to get all details correct, and that's where this nomination failed. Better luck next time! --Janke | Talk 10:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Your Grand Prix of Cleveland map

Your map of the Burke Lakefront Airport is accurate. However, I think it would be better if you added the turn numbers and the pit lane. Just my two cents. 168.12.197.37 (talk) 16:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Coat of arms request?

Hello there Pbroks13!

You did an amazing job of Image:Merseyside CoA.svg and Image:Royal Badge of Wales new.svg not so long ago. There's no other artist I'd prefer for this challenge really, and so I wondered if you'd be interested in the request I've made at Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Image_workshop#Heywood_coat_of_arms.jpg? The graphic should be too difficult - or as difficult - as the previous crests you've work on, but the source material is slightly poorer. Hope you can help, but no problem if not. Thanks again. --Jza84 |  Talk  10:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

I'll go with Wikipedia Administrators Award-2.svg, because it is closer to the original medallion that I drew. What did you use to fine-tune it? I need to know! BlueCaper (talk) 17:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Another SVG request

Your graphic work in the past has been exceptional, so I was wondering if you could convert another JPEG for me. It is located on the Pi Kappa Phi page, in the infobox. The link is "Image:The Star Shield of Pi Kappa Phi.jpeg". If you can do this, I will be greatly appreciative. Thanks. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 22:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Nice SVG, may I know which program did you use?

Hi Pbroks13, I dont find any email so I write here. Sorry, I dont want to be vandal. I saw your SVG and it's pretty nice, Id like to know if you used source SVG available with open license like Creative Commons. The image is this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DMZ_network_diagram_1_firewall.svg

I like the computers, and the block scheme in general and I'd like to use some of that material with Gimp, if possible.

Thanks, Riccardo

Proper attribution for SVG Mouse

I found the proper place to clarify the heritage of that image and added links to its previous listing as POTD and the Featured Picture transition from PNG to SVG.jk (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2008 (UTC) In addition, the CC license you have listed there is less permissive than the license on the original. Please change that license to read "The copyright holder of this work allows anyone to use it for any purpose including unrestricted redistribution, commercial use, and modification." jk (talk) 14:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

File:Modernartificialgrass2.svg

Hi, I noticed you redrew an image of mine as the above file. However there was a typo in one of the captions which rather let the effect down. I have reinstated my original graphic on the article meantime. While skating close to WP:OWN territory, it would have been great if you could have let me know what you were doing, or even given me credit for the original work you based your work on. Best wishes, --John (talk) 18:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I am terribly sorry I did not properly attribute you as the original author of the derivative work. If you will take a look at my redrawn-to-SVG gallery, you can see that your image is relatively close to the bottom, meaning the image was created was when I first started redrawing images. I will properly attribute you as the original author of the work on the SVG's image page; again, I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

Also, I have fixed the typo and have preplaced the raster image for the vector image on the page artificial turf. --pbroks13^talk? 17:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, for fixing the attribution and for fixing the typo. Keep up the good work. --John (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
