Archive 1

You've just never heard of it like many others. Plaeop is a wonderful and exciting and i hope many others join me in studying it. Excuse me i didnt realize the SS was running wikipedia. If you took the time to read norm chomsky literary masterpiece on the JFK assassination you'd realize the heavy links between Oswald's abuses as a child and his obsession with the gun. I have irrefutable evidence JFK's fatal shot would have been taken by a M1 Grande instead of the sleeker phallus shaped mannlicher-carcano bolt action rifle.

Vandalism??

The edits I am making are not vandalism.

-let me quote from the link you provided "any effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism"

-you argue that they are provocative statements, I claim it is fact. This group has had criminal warrants issued for their arrest, they are even recogonized by the FBI as an eco-terrorist group.

-changing a WP page to reflect facts i.e. classification as an eco-terrorist group is in no way in violation of the neutrality rule. It seems that your bias against my edits are in violation of neutrality as it were.

Safe sex NPOV concern

Heyas, I saw you tagged Safe sex with the NPOV tag, but didn't see an explanation on Talk:Safe sex. If there is a part of the article you are concerned about being POV, I'd be happy to help address those concerns and bring the article into conformity with the NPOV policy. Tags like that need to have explanations in order to be helpful. Any insight you can provide would be apprecaited. Thanks! -SocratesJedi | Talk 06:40, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah, hey thanks for your reply. I removed the tag, but I'll go and check that out. I think that those comments were semi-outdated and have been talking with User:Sci guy about some other edits to the article too, but I'll do make sure about that too (that it really is the case that those concerns are old, if they are not, I'll re-add the NPOV tag). Thanks for your concerns and your reply though! -SocratesJedi | Talk 22:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Please be a bit more careful about speedy tagging - you tagged Homesick as nonsense when it was it was quite clearly a carefully written book review. -- RHaworth 04:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism protection

Hey, thanks for explaining and not just deleting without saying anything. I thought that only admins could do it, but then I saw a non-admin do it, so I guess I was misled. There really should be a vprotect on Featured Articles though.. I'm not sure why no one has put one up.

It did clear it up, thank you. And I'm sorry I screwed up your discussion page twice in a row by accident.. Dan 06:35, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

You wouldn't happen to be damicatz from upnetwork, would you?PiccoloNamek 08:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, just making sure. There's more than one PiccoloNamek, believe it or not, so I thought there just might be another dami. Anyway, thanks for reverting my userpage. That guy needs to get a life!PiccoloNamek 08:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your attention to the Arcata Eye page. I believe the anonymous editors are members or close associates of the Plazoid, and are thus prone to a certain point of view regarding the Eye. --Metatree 23:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Pro-Test

I have actually just asked for Peer Review for the article so as to get some other perspectives. So far, the only sourced criticism of Pro-Test is in the article, and being associated with the group myself I don't feel I'm in a good position to make those criticisms myself. Thanks for the tip, though. --ProTestOxford 20:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

don't be so darn happy either 69.179.75.234 03:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I didn't remove it that time!!!! 69.179.75.234 03:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

you didn't understand that last remark

2.I just made it so you had to scroll down

3.You have never used an ip, with an ip you can not create articles, and even my user page is considered an article

when i said scroll down i meant this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:69.179.75.234&diff=39442203&oldid=39442174

And i did not know that was a warning

You're probably having a good day if an anon tells you not to be so darn happy ; )

Vandalism

Please don't vandalize my userpage. The IP address was me. I wasn't logged in. Thank you. --Analogdemon (talk) 01:39, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Nice touch putting it up for deletion. You, nor anyone else, can bully me around. --Analogdemon (talk) 02:11, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I will not stop just because certain admins consider this in bad taste. They do not represent the "community" so therefore, they are in the minority. Five admin's opinions do not represent consensus.

Thanks

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my user page! I greatly appreciate it. --Hansnesse 02:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Really? Are you sure I could get blocked? That's not my interpretation of the WP blocking policy. May I respectfully suggest that you are mistaken.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, however I must respectfully disagree. I feel that I am contributing factual content.

Thanks again!

Unix Games

In regards to the UNIX Games Catagory : UNIX, when used correctly, refers to AT&T's orginal UNIX operating system and their direct revisions such as UNIX System V. To my knowledge, none of the games listed in that category run on System V or any of the orginal Unices'. At the very least, I believe the category should be renamed to indicate that it is for games that run on UNIX-like operating systems. I still, however, believe that it is redundant. The games listed appear on the category pages of the operating systems they run on individually and none of those games, to my knowledge, are compatible with all modern UNIX-like operating systems. - Damicatz 20:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes UNIX was developed by AT&T, but it now applies to a number of different flavors supported by different vendors. So I suppose I shall have to disagree with your statement "when used correctly" since I'm supporting several of those flavors of UNIX right now, and it doesn't feel incorrect to be calling them UNIX. Yes it's entirely possible that some of the listed games are inappropriately catalogued. Rogue, at least, seems quite appropriate for the UNIX games category, at least in my mind. But maybe you don't consider the Berkeley flavor to be UNIX? :-) Thanks. — RJH (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Berkely UNIX is a UNIX-derivitive but none of the orginal UNIX code remains. So it is a UNIX-like operating system or a UNIX-style operating system but it is not UNIX. - Damicatz 21:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm aware of the history, thanks. Looks like you will be busy cleaning up the Category:Unix of all the UNIX derivations. Good luck. — RJH (talk) 21:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:L Intel-C4004 (gray traces).jpg

Could you check the fair use rationale at Image:L Intel-C4004 (gray traces).jpg. Thanks! Addhoc 17:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:L Intel-C4004 (gray traces).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:L Intel-C4004 (gray traces).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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

pupilometer

Hi! It's been a while since the article pupilometer was written. The original user that was the author no longer exists. I don't see any references to validate the nomenclature, although there is use of it as an Ophthalmic Instrument to measure the distance between of the PD, or pupillary distance from eye to eye when fitting eyeglasses to align the optic centers of a prescription. Would you concur to changing the content of the article? I don't know what your original contribution was, but found this link to your user_talk page in the history.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Altodraw.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Altodraw.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Leilaandthesnakesfront.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Leilaandthesnakesfront.jpg. 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 within a couple of 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 (talk) 23:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!
