www.national.archsrch.gov.za

Search links from www.national.archsrch.gov.za are temporary and thus useless. Try to get the address of the actual page found instead. This may involve removing a frame. —Tamfang (talk) 02:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Hullo

Do you happen to know if the page 'Surrealists that consider themselves Wikipedians' or something similar was deleted? Shame if it was as I found it amusing.  SmokeyTheCat  •TALK• 13:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Request for an image

Hi Daniel,

I found you on the list of illustrators and wondered if you'd help us out with an image. I placed a request at the Graphics Lab some time ago, with no takers. It appears that real artists are thin on the ground on Wikipedia.

We'd like an artistic interpretation of the appearance of strings, see this copyright image on the web and here for examples. This is a very esoteric area of particle physics, so surrealism is strangely appropriate. The image would be used primarily in the String Theory article, but I left in the others for interest.

Articles: String Theory, Quark, Fermion*, Elementary particle*, Fundamental interaction*, Unified field theory*, Vacuum energy*, Quantum foam*, Grand Unified Theory

Please contact me if you need any other input. Dhatfield (talk) 23:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Snowball in heraldry

Greetings! I have been working on Charge (heraldry), trying to write a manageable article based on the very lengthy list that preceded it. One passage, "The snowflake is only known in more recent times, though the snowball predates this by some centuries," stuck out as a dubious claim. I'm really not sure when the snowflake or "snow crystal" was first known in heraldry, but I cannot think of a single instance of a snowball in early armory, and I see no mention of it in any of my heraldry books (including Fox-Davies, Volborth, Neubecker, and The Oxford Guide to Heraldry), nor in Parker's Glossary. Looking for the claim's source in the article's history, I found it in this edit, so I issue you this friendly challenge. Please provide a verifiable source or the statement will be removed. Thank you. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 09:06, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Franklin Rosemont's Death

Daniel, I am sorry to inform you that Franklin died Sunday night at his home. I am a photographer not a wikipede so I decided not to alter your article, preferring to simply let you know what happened. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Tom Good, NYC Thomas Good (talk) 20:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

New image project

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Please stop the vandalism

Please stop adding your name to the list.99.141.240.227 (talk) 15:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

What list? --Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 01:10, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

The list that you continue to repeatably vandalize using an IP address to add your own name to. Please restore the article and cease. 99.151.167.110 (talk) 15:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Please remove your name from the list or I'll ask AN/I to consider your actions there.99.141.249.226 (talk) 15:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I've removed your insertion of your name on the list still again, no doubt you'll add it back. I don't think you understand, your sock puppetry is painfully easy to show. Please stop.99.151.172.170 (talk) 20:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

What on earth are you talking about? What list? What sockpuppetry? And aren't you using an IP address rather than a username? --Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 15:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

The list I'm referring to is "List of Harvard University non-graduate alumni". The vandalism I'm referring to is your repeated insertion of your name on the list. Please remove your latest self-aggrandizing edit there.99.144.252.54 (talk) 12:05, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

J. Karl Bogartte

The article J. Karl Bogartte has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:41, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of cats with fraudulent diplomas

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of cats with fraudulent diplomas. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cats with fraudulent diplomas. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Daniel C. Boyer! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 202 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Patrick Boyer - Find sources: "Patrick Boyer" – news · books · scholar · free images

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:00, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Surrealism, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Fax art

The article Fax art has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of ntoability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MrOllie (talk) 20:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Notice of ANI thread

There is a discussion regarding your recent edits found here, you are strongly encouraged to participate. -- Atama頭 20:29, 6 May 2011 (UTC) I don't know what this nonsense is about someone I've never heard of being my sockpuppet and don't know the evidence for the claim. I tried to resolve it but I think something went wrong with the edit. It would be inappropriate for me to say anything about my notability or lack thereof, although I don't really know what this has to do with anything. With what certain editors are like on here I'm sure something negative will be made of even the previous sentence, though. -Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

US National Archives collaboration

United States National Archives WikiProject

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts. There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Melee.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Melee.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:21, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
