Re: Someone pretending to be me

Schoolwatch Association of Photographers

Hi Slo-mo. I am currently in the process of assembling a Schoolwatch photographers organization on Wikipedia, and after noticing a number of the wonderful New Trier High School imagery you've uploaded, [1] was wondering if you would be interested in joining our group by capturing other schools within your local area. If so, please take a look at Category:School images and see what we've accomplished so far. Bahn Mi 21:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)Reply


Re: vandal

Hey Owen, somebody vandalized my user page again with a message from an administrator. 69.44.62.216 did this just after 69.44.61.197 (who I told you earlier had vandalized my user page with a message from you) had deleted a section from New Trier High School and cited me for vandalism in the history section. They seem to be the same person. Please help. Thanks. Slo-mo 10:19, 17 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I've issued both IPs another warning. If this happens again, let me know and I'll block the offending IP. Owen× 13:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
It seems that vandal is still stalking you, reverting all your edits. I undid his reverts, and blocked him for 48 hours; let me know when he returns. Owen× 20:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

New Trier/Marijuana Use

Slo-mo, I appreciate the edits you've made on the New Trier Township High School page. However, I do not agree with your judgment on the importance of the section on Marijuana use. As I said in the discussion for that page, the users at IP 64.34.166.88 and 69.33.61.197 went too far in deleting the Marijuana use section. However, in principle, I believe that their gut-reaction is the right one: it is not a necessary component of this article. How many other schools have such a section--a whole section--dedicated to the matter?

There is a compromise between unnecessary detail and subjectivity. We just haven't found it yet. Again, I appreciate your input and look forward to your response. User:AMHoffman

When you reverted the gamecube vandalism why did you put Jedi6 there?--User:Jedi6 30 November 2005

I think you meant revert to last edit by Jedi6 but the link goes to the vandal IP address. Why?--User:Jedi6 30 November 2005
Its unfixable but its ok.--User:Jedi6 30 November 2005

Hi, I've replaced the Neo-Geo logo you uploaded (Image:Neogeologo.jpg) with a PNG one (Image:Neo-Geo logo.png). It's cleaner, smaller in filesize and has transparency. I've listed the JPEG one for deletion. Hope this is OK. –Mysid 13:27, 7 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of 'liberal wikipedians' category

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 02:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

seals

Thanks for the clue about seals vs logos! Not sure where I got the idea, perhaps from a state university's symbol being labelled as a seal. Stan 17:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image Tagging Image:Northfield4.jpg

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Northfield4.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Guidelines for Wikipedia lists of ethnic groups

Please may I draw your attention to

Your contributions would be very welcome. -- Brownlee 12:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Gbsseal.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Automobile salesperson

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Automobile salesperson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Automobile salesperson.
