Update on the status of Parliament House, Canberra

The elevation of the article to FA status is going slowly. Mainly to difficulties in finding sources to cite. I have already copy-edited the article and improved the intro a bit. More shall come. Thanks Marlith T/C 20:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Heres the punch line!

I like the picture very good! It made my day!! HAHA! Well thank you also for welcoming me to flavour country! HAHA!! Talk to you later mate! Cheers! Drizzt Jamo 23:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Your page has been conquered by the Earth Cabal

Hello Dfrg.msc I am here to inform you that your userpage or talk page has been conquered by the Earth Cabal. Please don’t panic; there is nothing you can do about it. You are hereby invited to join the Cabal, and help conquer other pages for our cause. See User:Hirohisat/Earth Cabal for more information. Thank you, have a nice, irregular weather day, and welcome to Earth. --Hirohisat Kiwi 07:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Reminder to Mentor

Hola Mentors!

Im sending you this reminder because you volunteered to mentor my students in English Advanced B as they become contributing members of the Wikipedia community. We start working with Wikipedia in earnest next week. I ask you to take a look at your entry in the Mentor Table at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors

Please update the information, esp. with what your technical and informational expertise is or, if you have decided that you no longer want to participate, please remove your information from the table. Please watch the pages associated with the project. Students will contact you via your user page and as soon as my students have user pages, I will put them on the navigation bar associated with the project.

I don’t need to remind you that your job is NOT to write their assignments for them, of course. I certainly will tell my students that… and the fact that you are volunteers that don’t have to help them… so they need to be nice. If any students misbehave (tho I don’t expect it) don’t hesistate to contact me and I will take care of it. The goal of this project is to integrate successfully into the Wikipedia community. Anyway… what I really need your help with is helping students get oriented to Wikipedia, make appropriate changes and write about appropriate topics (see Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus for assignments). I also need your technical expertise… I am only an English teacher after all! I appreciate what technology does for us but I am no technical expert!

Again, thank you for volunteering and you will hear from us again soon! Thelmadatter 19:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

GWB stencil image

A few of us are discussing your stencil of GWB and it might be useful and interesting if you could add a few thoughts. In particular, it would be great if you could add some context to the image: Where was it taken? Who made the image? etc. --ElKevbo 17:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Tony's RFA

You appear to have unintentionally deleted a chunk of Tony's RFA: [1].--Chaser - T 02:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know...

Couple of things:

  • 1. JzG / Guy has for a couple of weeks now had a link to his personal site specifically attacking me, see his user-talkpage and [2]

From Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks :

Off-wiki personal attacks

Wikipedia cannot regulate behavior in media not under the control of the Wikimedia Foundation, but personal attacks made elsewhere create doubt as to whether an editor's on-wiki actions are conducted in good faith. Posting personal attacks or defamation off-Wikipedia is harmful to the community and to an editor's relationship with it, especially when such attacks take the form of violating an editor's privacy. Such attacks can be regarded as aggravating factors by administrators and are admissible evidence in the dispute-resolution process, including Arbitration cases.

External links

Links or references to off-site harassment, attacks, or privacy violations against Wikipedians are not permitted, and should be removed. Such removals are not subject to the three-revert rule, though administrators may disagree over whether or not a particular link qualifies for this exemption. Attacking, harassing, or violating the privacy of any Wikipedian through the posting of external links is not permitted, and those who do so deliberately or repeatedly may be blocked.[1][2] As with personal attacks, extreme cases of harassment by way of external links can be grounds for banning.

...
This once again demonstrates the double-standards on Wikipedia. He is above the law and above policy.

  • 2. On the page [3] he writes:
"Oh, and you still never got round to writing a properly sourced article on the subject, which would probably have passed DRV with ease as there are many references to the sexual practice of anal stretching. Talk to Uncle G some time about how to really rescue a crap article on a good (or at least encyclopaedic) subject."

He thereby claims the article is very well referenceable ...

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tau arms and Armor FW Team.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tau arms and Armor FW Team.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. BetacommandBot 05:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
