Book

hey. i know that, of the two of us, im probably the more geeky, but if you're interested in fairy tails, ive got a book suggestion for you: the Summer King by O. R. Melling. its kinda silly, as its a fairy tail, complete with fairies, but i was picking a random book in the fantasy section to read, and this is what i found. its good, though. ~Sophiakorichi

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll check it out when I get the chance. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 06:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

yeah, no problem. but its a full blown fairy tail, just to warn you.

Image:Rcass.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rcass.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Garion96 (talk) 23:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dejavu.PNG

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dejavu.PNG. 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 01:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dejavu.PNG)

  Thanks for uploading Image:Dejavu.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:WQXR logo.gif

  This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:WQXR logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of "User Despises Yankees/Red Sox" userbox

Hi. I noticed you recently deleted the userboxes "User:W7KyzmJt/Userboxes/User Despises RedSox" and "...Despises Yankees". I understand why you deleted them, and I totally support the effort to rid Wikipedia of things that might cause dislike or division between groups of its users. But I'm listing them on DRV, since I honestly don't think that these userboxes are serious enough to deserve to be deleted for this reason. Please do comment there. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 01:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

No sourced content was lost. Everything that had a source was added to the article. Since The Simpsons is an FA, everything needs a reliable source, so the words that didn't have sources were redirected to the episode of their origin, ie. Embiggens and Can't sleep, clown will eat me. -- Scorpion0422 17:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Dumbledore

On User talk:Allstarecho, W7KyzmJt said:
Hi, I notice in the Albus Dumbledore article you've been removing any writing about his sexuality in addition to what's already in the section "Gellert and Grindelwald". However, I don't think it would hurt to mention it more than once in the article, as it is pretty important; not everyone will read the article the whole way through, and talking about it in other sections, especially the "Personality" section, would probably be a good idea. I think this edit by User:IamMcLovin puts it rather well, so I'm restoring that. Please respond on my talk page if you disagree. Cheers, -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 21:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it's redundant to have it on there more than once. The news surrounds Dumbledore and Grindelwald so it either needs to stay there or be removed from there and put under Personality but not both. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 22:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps, but at least seven people seem to disagree with you. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 22:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Further, as was just pointed out in the revert by Mears man, being gay isn't a personality trait. So it's either best left where it is in the Dumbledore and Grindlewald section or in an entirely new Sexuality section but not in 2 different places. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 22:33, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I think this is a good idea. For now it would solve the problem of redundancy, and I do certainly think this is important enough to merit a sub-section under attributes, though it would be a short section for now; eventually it would probably expand with stuff from the books or further info from Rowling. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 22:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, we tried...

Hey BlastOButter...

Nice try on getting Dumbledore's sexuality a more prominent mention. I kind of lost interest in the whole debate after restoring this part, which I think is enough when combined with the mention in the Grindelwald section.

On the less editorial side, may I comment that it's pretty funny that the "Dumbledore" topic is number 69 on your talk page.

Also, that's cool about each of your names having 6 letters. The same is true of Ronald Wilson Reagan. (Not to compare you to him in any other way.)  :)

Seansinc 23:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

On User talk:Seansinc, W7KyzmJt said:
Yeah, oh well, though as I said on the talk page I've actually come to agree at least somewhat. And yes I suppose that is pretty funny about my name... I'm named after my father, who was named after my grandfather, so I'm the third; that name's been around for a while... -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 00:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC) 23:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I actually agreed from the get-go that it didn't warrant a whole section of its own. That was my first comment! I just didn't think it belonged just in the Grindelwald section either. Oh well, not that big of a deal. Btw, cool trick with the quote-box. Later... Seansinc 07:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Dumbledore vote

Hi. All the arguing over where we should discuss Dumbledore's sexual orientation is proving useless. We need to work out just who is in favour of what and a vote seems the only way to go about it. I'm asking for your opinion since you had a say in the general argument. Thank you. asyndeton 10:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Edits to Goober

I find it offensive that you, as a supposedly "avid Wikipedian", are attempting to distort the accepted meaning of a word by claiming that the word means something other than it really does. I encourage you to properly familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy and then re-assess your position on getting into a revert war with me over the content of the page. Matt.T.911 (talk) 09:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice try. Unfortunately, due to the very open nature of Wikipedia's revision histories, it's very easy to see that your edits, which describe "goober" as being "the official nickname for NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning" and include a personal attack ([1], [2], [3]), are vandalism. Wikipedia was deliberately set up so that trolling like this is easy to detect, though I must compliment you on your very professional manner in going about it. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 11:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Considering that such information was already in the disambiguation page, I was not going to remove it without verifying it. I was unwilling to verify it, so I fixed up the formatting and left it. It is not my fault that such vandalism (assuming it was vandalism) was not picked up on earlier. You, however, brazenly reverted my obvious attempts to fix the article without even looking at what I had done, then you had the audacity to call me a vandal. I challenge you to submit proof that I was the one who left that statement about the NFL players on the page. If you cannot, suck it up, apologise to me and fix my User Talk page. Matt.T.911 (talk) 13:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Whether or not the IP who originally left it (98.193.109.72) is the same person as you, after I removed the obvious vandalism (and don't say it isn't obvious), you added it again, claiming that that was a "more intelligent version of the page." I once again removed the vandalism, and you added it once again, this time claiming that there's some sort of dispute about whether or not "goober" is the official nickname for two NFL quarterbacks. Now anyone can see that that's not true, whether you're familiar with American football or not -- and you restored it to the page, twice. Then, you get clever, though. I can't report you as a vandal, since you haven't vandalized enough times, and now, with this edit, you act as if all you were doing was rewording the bottom of the page. As I said before, you're very good at concealing your trolling under a guise of innocence, but because of the nature of Wikipedia, it's easy for anyone to see the true nature of your actions.
Please, stop wasting my time. If you wish to open an RfC, go ahead and do so -- but no, you can't, since that would bring admins' attention to this, and they would see the true situation here and bring your trolling to an end. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 22:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Let us ignore the obvious issue of your lack of an assumption of good faith for a moment. On the talk page for goober, there are TWO entries from users who have used the term "goober" in a friendly context. The same context could be applied to such usage for official nicknames for official players in an official sport that I officially know absolutely nothing about. You know, being an Australian and all, it's difficult to know a lot, or even anything, about a 'sport' that is only played professionally in one country on this planet which just so happens to be on the polar opposite of the world to where I live (proof of which I would be more than happy to provide in the form of a telephone call, should it be required). As such, I'll repeat: it is not my fault that something that cannot be easily identified as vandalism was not identified and removed earlier when it was actually posted. It is also not my fault that I decided to leave the vandalism there for the reasons specified above. It is also not my fault that you are so dense as to be completely unable to identify the user who posted the vandalism as residing on the opposite side of the planet to myself, which I once again can easily prove if necessary. In closing, I'd like to pose this challenge to you: prove that the word 'goober' is a synonym for the word 'hillbilly', as you have repeatedly put in your reverts. What, you can't do that? I demand that you immediately remove the accusations of vandalism that you have posted on my talk page, and I further demand that you issue an apology to me, or else I WILL get an admin involved. Matt.T.911 (talk) 23:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
*sigh* If you couldn't figure out that goober is not their official nickname by the fact that I removed it twice as vandalism, then you are the one who is "dense," my friend. Anyone could figure out that despite the two anonymous posts to which you refer, goober is not, in general, a compliment, based simply on the content of the page -- and you yourself added that it is similar in meaning to "idiot." It is not a synonym for hillbilly, but restoring that was a side effect of removing the much more obvious vandalism (which you added twice along with your improvements, so don't accuse me of being careless). -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 00:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. It's obvious to me now that your edits weren't vandalism, and looking at them now, I really have no idea why I thought they were, so I sincerely apologize for calling them vandalism and reverting them. If you're having problems with ClueBot reverting good edits, you should report them as false positives at User:ClueBot/FalsePositives. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 22:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh, don't worry. I already reported it to ClueBot's False Positives page. By the way, Raura, the page is looking really good! I added Sadao Abe to April 23, under "Births". — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 22:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Big Mac

My name is Robert Maron. I correctly edited the Big Mac information last night and you called it vandalism. I must ask why? Thew information I provided was 100% correct. The information as currently listed is absolutely incorrect! Please respond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.186.55 (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your edits because your assertion that you invented the name "Big Mac" is extremely dubious and you provided no sources to back it up. All available information says that the article as it existed was correct, and you would have to provide multiple reputable, unbiased sources to challenge it. All information in Wikipedia must be confirmed by reputable sources, and the fact that you provide none makes it hard for me to believe that your claim is not false. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 00:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Sadao Abe?

Hi, I see that you reverted Raura's edits to Sadao Abe for vandalism. In reality, it does not constitute vandalism, because all she did was add the links to the Chinese and Japanese Wikipedias, and the movie she listed was really a real movie. Please check before you revert someone's edits. Thanks! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 17:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, looking at it now, I have no idea why I did that -- I must have just been a bit too quick with the revert button. Sorry! -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 21:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
It's no problem, really. Thank you for apologizing, though. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 21:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Huggle User Category

Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again. Thanks. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 18:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure why, though, these are improper uses, since a definition of portmanteau is "a new word formed by joining two others and combining their meanings". Could you perhaps enlighten me? -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 02:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Portmanteau is a term used to describe the playful use of Carroll's words, in which they took two words, blended them together, then make it impossible to see where one word meets another, so they are no longer proper blends (you can't recognize another word inside, see the use of slithy, which is s(lithy) lithe and sli(thy) slimy). However, people, out of zeal, see all words as portmanteau. Blends are any word that are combined together but not in their original form. Compounds are two words combined together with most of their original form. Amalgamation of acronyms is where you merge acronyms. For the word to be proper Carrollinian, it would have to have major criss crossing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottava Rima (talkcontribs) 02:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I see. Well, carry on then. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 02:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I had a free night, and someone mentioned that the term has been popping up lately. Since it is a very obscure term and there are very few instances of such beyond Lewis Carroll, I felt that something may have been wrong, and I have been going through and correcting some of the more obvious mistakes. Maybe the word has become trendy on wikipedia. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm having some trouble with a user who repeatedly vandalizes a page I made. Am I supposed to send the notification you get on your page if you vandalize something, or should I have someone else do it? Thank you much, --Sophiakorichi (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, somebody has already taken care of it. --Sophiakorichi (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I misinterpreted your edit as vandalism, but I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. If you're trying to get that template deleted for whatever reason, go to Wikipedia:Templates for Deletion, but why would you want to do that? Templates from one language's Wikipedia can't be used on another language's Wikipedia. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 08:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey wat do you mean it is not constructive people would want to know hes a creep right? i mean i did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.234.58 (talk) 23:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me?

Please tell me how my edit was unconstructive? The article was a stub and i was adding onto it.

Thank you! Keely262 (talk) 23:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

"Unconstructive" is sort of a blanket term we use on Wikipedia for edits we don't think belong in here, which is used automatically in level 1 warning templates. It's not as severe as calling something vandalism, which it might not be if it was a test or mistake. The only edit I reverted was one where you seemed to be trying to add a picture, but it didn't work. To add a picture to a Wikipedia article, first you have to upload it by going to Special:Upload, and then you can link to it by writing [[Image:IMAGENAME.JPG|thumb|caption]]. -- W7KyzmJt See Hear Speak 23:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay

Thanks for explaining that to me, but someone else reverted another edit i made. It doesn't really matter, i guess, but it just annoys me when people on here think just because someone is new that every edit they make is "unconstructive" or vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keely262 (talkcontribs) 04:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Wellwood Middle School

Sorry I didn't like the part about the punishments. The frank sinatra part is true so is the fayetteville high school part. Eagle Hill is the other middle school and wellwoods rival so i had to put that in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.171.151 (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
