Hi.. I just moved Leszynski Naming Convention (LNC) to Leszynski Naming Convention, to fit in better with Wikipedia naming conventions. —Stormie 23:30, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)

Evolutionary psychology

Thanks for cleaning up Evolutionary psychology. I'd have just gone and done it but I didn't have the time then. Smerdis of Tlön 15:19, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the boost on the Catholic Encyclopedia. (At the same time, I was trying to seriously detoxify Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Seems like CU is getting longer every day. Geogre 14:13, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Comment

I saw your comment on that movie TV show list thread thing. Then I went to your website, LiveJournal, and photo album. You're scary, but I'm convinced that's a good thing. Mike H 18:12, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)

Catch that rainbow and never let go! Eh? What's that mean? Mike H 20:59, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)

Dude, what the hell is your problem? I just moved it to the bottom because it was the newest comment. Calm down. Really. Mike H 21:06, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)

Second Variety

Why do you keep adding Category:Short stories to Second Variety? It is already a member of Category:Short stories by virtue of its being a member of Category:Science fiction short stories. -Seth Mahoney 21:31, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)

William Baylebridge

Hi, the stuart, I don't mean to keep nagging at you, but when it says "Reverted" in the edit summary, it means I fixed the link. If a problem's been reverted, there's no need to fix it again. Nice to see somebody reads the text I wrote, though! It's pretty new, how did you find it? Are you Australian? Bishonen 21:19, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi again. I see what you did now: you changed the category itself! Sheesh! Could you go change it back to how it was, please? Because right now the "Short Stories" link on William Baylebridge works, and lots and lots of other links on other pages, that are of the form "Short stories", don't work.

I do understand that you meant to do the right thing, but "Short stories" is the correct form according to the Wikipedia Style Sheet. I know it's confusing, because there are different rules for a) books, and b) practically everything else. If you follow the category link on William Baylebridge, you'll see a lot of links on the page you come to, and most of them have all the important words capitalized, but that's because those links are story titles. See the ones that aren't, how they're different? And see the other category links on William Baylebridge: "Australian people", "Australian poets"? I don't know how to change categories, so please, you put the category back just how it was (see Seth's post above, too). No harm done, as soon as you do that. Bishonen 21:43, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Lower-case -s

Hi, stuart, don't worry about it for one minute. I've asked Seth Mahoney to help set the spelling straight, it'll be fine. Forget about it, have a nice day. Bishonen 08:09, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Gattaca

Was Gattaca really translated into Esperanto? That's so cool - the only Esperanto film I've seen or known about was Incubus. -Seth Mahoney 17:06, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

I'm sure its fine. The category is "Esperanto films", not "Films entirely translated into Esperanto", and considering that there aren't many films translated into Esperanto, practically any film containing any Esperanto makes sense for inclusion in this category. Maybe adding a section to Gattaca about the scene containing Esperanto would make sense, though. Likewise with The Dictator. Now I'm going to have to rewatch the film, to see if I can catch that! -Seth Mahoney 03:32, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

Oh My Darling, Clementine

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

re: your message

I'm not that lonely loser.--The_stuart 06:25, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I don't recall claiming you were that (what?) or any other lonely loser. In fact, I don't recall ever interacting with you on wikipedia, though my memory may be flawed as far as that last one goes. Care to explain? &0xfeff; --fvw* 21:35, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Some one signed in using your name edited my user page. You can check the history and see.--The_stuart 18:55, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Oh yes, so I did. The "he did make a point though" wasn't about the anon's claim that you were lonely though (I don't see the term loser anywhere), it was about the fact that you'd misspelt "Contributions", which I took the liberty of fixing up after reverting the vandalism. &0xfeff; --fvw* 23:33, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

Your website

Hey there. I noticed your web site had a little note after it saying it wouldn't work in Firefox, so I tried it in Opera, and it didn't work there either. I figured you might want to add Opera to the notice. If not, then hey, at least we've both learned something. - Vague | Rant 01:46, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

It should be really easy for you to fix. The reason it doesn't work is that the HTML files, including "root" file of your angelfile homesite ([1]), don't have the ".html" extension (e.g. "thestuartsite" not "thestuartsite.html"). Faced with this file, Angelfire's webserver serves it with "Content-Type: text/plain". Firefox and opera just render such files as plain text, without interpreting them. IE guesses they're HTML from the doctype (which is really rather naughty of it), so it only renders in that browser. If you rename the html files to actually have a ".html" extension then the file will be served with "Content-Type: text/html" at it should work fine in any browser. I imagine you'll also be more popular with search engines. -- John Fader 19:53, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Images

Thanks for uploading Image:Don-music.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, BrokenSegue

Hello. Please provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy edits. Hyacinth 18:47, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Category tag for "Nurse"?

Hi, I noticed that you added the category tag Category:TV Spin-offs to Nurse; however, the article doesn't mention any TV series at all. Perhaps if there's a "Nurse" TV series you could start a Nurse (TV series) stub and add a disambiguation to Nurse? -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:44, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

/scratch

those formulas are for this page on www.wikinfo.com. The site has only rudimentary TeX support, due to some XML compatibility issues. Thus, I used wikipedia's TeX support to create the images for the formulas, downloaded them, and uploaded them to the wikinfo article. (TeX is what's used to generate pretty math formulas) the page those formulas are for explains what the formulas about as best as I can. Kevin Baas^talk 21:05, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)

List of British monarchs

Thanks for creating the redirect List of Kings of England, of Scotland, of Great Britain, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I was being sarcastic, you know!

This category was already created by another user, but was deleted via VfD. Don't be upset if someone decides to delete it again. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:23, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Stuart, I must take HARD exception to Michael Jackson being on any list with Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Truman and Eisenhower came from extreamly hard backgrounds, to put on uniforms, and risk their life for our country, then dedicated their lives to making things better for other people. They wanted to stop waring nations from ripping society apart, to make things safer. They wanted to build roads, courthouses, etc., to make the life of their fellow countrymen better. They faught hard to make policies to protect our borders. You need to take a hard look at history and values in men, and know the difference. If Mr. Jackson would have taken all the money he has spent on toys and needless medical procedures and given it instead to help homeless children. I hope that you reflect on the difference in character in these men, and men like them. Thank you for your time. WikiDon 01:00, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Oz

I see you have done some editing on Oz-related articles, so I thought I would let you know I have created a new WikiProject about Oz: WikiProject Oz. I hope to create a community to help guide the continued development of the articles about the series and its authors, characters, etc. toward even more quality articles. If you are interested, please add your name under the "Participants section" and please leave any comments or questions on the project's talk page or my user talk page.

Image Tagging Image:Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Secretlondon 19:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

What does beraid mean?

On Seven minutes in heaven you reverted a line that said 'beraid'. I initially changed it because I didn't know what the word meant. I can't find anything in a dictionary. What does it mean? KeithD (talk) 20:25, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: Message you left for me

Thanks for the heads up, but as you probably noticed, I have created several articles and fixed the ones that originally I had pasted as a framework to work from. I usually just post as my IP, without logging in ( 24.98.198.164 ), so if you look at the history of all the pages, you can see that I have fixed them all. Thanks for the lookout though!, just be more careful in the future before accusing. :-) (sorry if the tone was a bit harsh, I have spent many, many hours editing and creating on here, and users who edit, and use wikipedia in the way that you do sometimes make me a bit angry sometimes. No ill will intended!)  :-)

Arguments against the existence of Bigfoot

You tagged this with {{POV}} a while back. What is the reasoning? Can you explain yourself please. Thanks. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 18:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Something being not sourced hardly makes it POV. I'm going back to have a looksie, and if it's truly POV, I'll leave the tag, but if it's not, the tag goes. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 18:39, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I placed the appropriate references in the article. Your reply on my talk page seemed a little hostile. I am truly sorry if I cam off hostile, that was never my intent. I will try to look over the article for POV, and take your comments into consideration. Once again, my humblest apologies. Cheers my friend. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 18:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Univ of Arkansas page / HogCall.com

On the University of Arkansas page, why did you remove the words "The very first" from the description of HogCall.com? It is a fact that I had the first Razorback website dedicated to the Razorbacks - even before the University had a page up. It has undergone a few name changes over the years, but it was still the very first.

M.A.D. is an acronym for "Mean and Dirty"

In answer to your question on Inspector Gadget, Yes, MAD stands for "Mean and Dirty". I don't think there is "official documention", and I don't recall it ever mentioned in the show, but a some of the toy mechandise like the Galoob Inspector Gadget doll, and a coloring book mentioned this on the packaging. It might not be "canon", but then again - It's just a cartoon. Cyberia23 21:09, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Cinnamon roll.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Cinnamon roll.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Image Tagging Image:Jonti Picking.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Jonti Picking.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, 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 going to "Your contributions" from your user page 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. Thanks so much. --Agnte 15:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

SEFOR

Hi, I stumbled across your article about SEFOR and cleaned it up a little. I find it very interesting! Can you provide any references (online or otherwise) for things like the pamphlets or the quote in the second paragraph? Thanks. Slicing 11:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article SEFOR, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

SEFOR

Look, I don't know how to put this "gently" so I won't try; your article on SEFOR was crap. It was a highly biased anti-nuke propaganda piece, violating everything that the Wiki is all about.

I don't even know what SEFOR was before I clicked the link. Regardless I was able to discern within seconds that the article had little to do with SEFOR. There was no technical discussion, nor did the article even mention that it was a FBR, which is why they built it in the first place.

From what I can tell, nothing bad ever happened at the reactor. Yet the article was written to make it out as a deathtrap and accident waiting to happen. In an attempt to "provide support" for this position you noted that the mass spec went down. Do you even know what a mass spec is, and what it's used for?

Check your biases at the door next time.
