User talk:The Copyeditor/Archive 1

Welcome to Wikipedia! While not blockable for, in my view, your username may or may not, subject to opinion, fail guidelines for usernames on Wikipedia, more specifically,

No confusing or misleading usernames, eg: Names that include commonly used Wikipedia software or community terms

Could I please request you have a look at Wikipedia:Changing usernames and have a think about possibly changing your username? NSLE _(T+C) at 10:21 UTC (2006-03-27)

Why did you revert my edit at Hurricane Katrina? My edit to Hurricane Katrina was correct and not vandalism. You did not specify why you reverted my edit. The Copyeditor 10:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:BOLD aside, all major edits should be discussed. As your edit also changed the names of sources (some media sources we use used "evacuees" in their titles), it could have been misconstrued as vandalism. NSLE _(T+C) at 10:53 UTC (2006-03-27)

Please be careful that your edit summaries are truthful descriptions of your edit; changing wording to use terms some find controvercial should not be labeled "copyedit". If you're not sure, you may wish to discuss proposed on the article talk page. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 15:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Your image uploads

Some of your image uploads and copyright status seem problematic. Please take time to examine the Wikipedia:Images pages and Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you uploaded some non-free use images which were not your own work in error, you may request they be deleted. If you are the photographer whose work is used by the University of Houston website, please explain. (And perhaps you might have higher resolution versions for Wikipedia than are found on the website? Thanks, -- Infrogmation 15:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Reply from Infrogmation

Hi. Responding to your note on my talk page: As to "waiting", I pointed out the problem when I noticed it, following standard procedure including mentioning it on you user talk page. Please don't take it personally if notices seem curt. I'm glad to see you take such things seriously and it's great you've already addressed the problem. Thanks! As to the language in the New Orleans article, personally I have no objection to having been described either as a "refugee" or "evacuee", but as you may be aware there's been some controvercy on the subject. You might wish to explain your position on Talk:New Orleans, Louisiana, and with luck discussion can reach consensus for purposes of the article. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 03:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)--

Delisting Good Articles Process

I'm not a contributor of the Dallas, Texas article that you delisted in the Good Articles section. However, you skipped one process before delisting and it is the Wikipedia:Good articles/Disputes. You can't just delist an article without mentioning any of us. It is consider "rude." ;-P Again, I'm not a contributor of that article. --63.232.213.157 04:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
