User talk:M. E. Smith

Your scrupulousness w/ regards to Ronald Reagan set a great example. Keep up the good work. Welcome (I assume welcome, anyway, from the lack of a talk page)! Yours, Meelar 06:19, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hell on Wheels

(copied from talk page) THANK YOU! This is exactly the kind of clarification the article needed. I'll remove the scarlet template as soon as I finish this comment. My apologies if that notation seemed unduly harsh, but an anon user had nominated this article for featured status. Without references, it looked too much like folklore, similar to how "There's a sucker born every minute" is popularly (and erroneously) attributed to Barnum. iMeowbot~Mw 19:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Killian documents

I'm a bit worried, given that the move of the page was in two parts, that you did it by cutting and pasting rather than by 'moving the page. If I'm wrong,that's fine, but if I'm right, you need to find a friendly admin who can put it right for you. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:22, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

And I'm a bit worried because the resolution of the name change vote last year was to not call the article "CBS Documents" or anything of the sort; and because this move was done, as far as I can tell, without any additional discussion. Has something significant happened recently that I am unaware of? --Ray Radlein 23:33, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Mel Etitis is incorrect, I did move the page, using the correct procedure. I did not cut-and paste. You may have this impression because MediaWiki acted quirky for a while afterwards, but I definitely moved. As for the title change, the name change vote last year was followed by more discussion disagreeing with the few who took part in the vote, and in fact more voting occurred after the "votes" were counted.. There is no clear way to determine which thread of the discussion carries more weight. --M. E. Smith)

Fair use rationale for Image:Killian_memos_MSWord_animated.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Killian_memos_MSWord_animated.gif. 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. Bleh999 08:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
