Interstate 89/exit table

Hey, if you put the template {Db-author} on the article, it should be deleted without an AfD. Welcome, by the way! I'm an interstate fan also! -- Samir (the scope) 07:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• Hi I Am Marc:

I was recently married to my lovely wife; We have lived together for several years already...

• We love cats (3 currently own us)... Jeffy(15), Echo(6) & Gizmo(3). All sleep with us in the big bed and no room to move an inch.
• I was Disabled in a 1993 (Coma)/ and am very slowly recovering. It's tough going out sometimes, though with friends I still do. I have a few supportive friends.
• I am an "Unenrolled voter." Democrat/ Republicans, I don't care, whoever serves makes my life better in the long run I vote for!
• Avid reader. Has collection of many hundreds of rare books. Especially Science Fiction and Fantasy.
• Avid Music collector (2,500 albums)...mostly bootlegs...mostly rare bootlegs...Stones, Kinks, Clapton, Beatles. and solos!

I am what I am I'm strongly opinionated about disabled peoples' rights and jobs for American citizens who have trouble finding minimum wage jobs in my state today and support Universal health care, I would be dead if I did not have it. I am an idiot about Internet social skills. I hope that the Immigration Reform bill will protect disabled citizens who wish to work like myself first before considering allowing new people to come here. I was searching for an internet forum to be my outlet to express my needs, but found that Wikipedia is not best suited for that. I'm brushing up on Wikipedia's rules of conduct, and slowly starting to begin contributing again.

Current book and CD I own hundreds of rare books

• Current Book Jack Whyte: "Uther"
• Current CD Faves:
  • Warren Zevon... "Life'll Kill Ya"
  • Howlin' Wolf: "Greatest Hits"
• Latest Flick: "Charles II: The Last King"

Wikimania greetings

Hello, Raj, and greetings from Cambridge. I hope you can make it to wikimania this summer... I'm working on the conference at the moment, letting it distract me from editing; but it's going to be a great deal of fun. Cheers, +sj + 14:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Vermont Routes WikiProject

Thank you for your kind words. As you could probably tell by my user page, I've been heavily involved in WP:NYSR and the resurrection of WP:PASH. I then turned my attention to Vermont, which at the time, was using two naming conventions. After sorting out the correct one with a pair of distinguished road editors, I decided to start the Vermont Routes project (honestly, I was shocked that Vermont did not have one yet). Thank you once again and welcome aboard.

As for the routebox notes, those were all valid points. I'll make the change to the description. --TMF ^{T - C} 02:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Final state highway naming conventions debate

CharlieCard photo

Raj -- Thanks for adding the photo of the CharlieCard. One thing to keep in mind -- in the future you will be able to access your account online, and get refunds if you lose the card, all based on the serial number of the card. Because of that, maybe you should blur out the serial number! Geoff.green 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, please ignore me, I'm an idiot -- I see in the comments that you blurred out part of it already. Thanks, move along, nothing to see here! Geoff.green 00:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Vpr logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vpr logo.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 ensure 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 non-free media 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.BetacommandBot 04:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Cities in Chittenden County

Thanks for correcting the Chittenden County template: when I created the template, for some reason I didn't move Burlington and South Burlington; it's not like I was somehow declaring them not cities :-) Nyttend (talk) 06:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MBTA CharlieCard.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MBTA CharlieCard.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

McDonalds in Montpelier

Regarding your comments on Talk:Montpelier, Vermont: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 14:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

File source problem with File:VT Route 62.svg

Thank you for uploading File:VT Route 62.svg. 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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
