Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon merge proposal[edit]

Please weigh in on the merger proposal between Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon and Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. I saw that you were a recent contributor of one of the pages in question, and thought you would be interested.--Descartes1979 (talk) 21:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Germany Invitation[edit]

Hello, Val42! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

--Zeitgespenst (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the invitation. However, while I am of German ancestry, I do not speak or write German, so I will not be able to contribute to the German-speaking Wikipedia. — Val42 (talk) 03:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon merge proposal[edit]

Val - unless you have a strong opinion about it, I think the consensus is to merge Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon into the relevant section of Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. Please let me know if you have a problem with that so we can discuss further. It seems you are the only person who thinks it shouldn't be merged. --Descartes1979 (talk) 07:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I seem to have lost that argument. But I still think that it will grow large enough to be split into its own article again. — Val42 (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about as a compromise, we merge them for now, and if the material grows enough then we split it out? I think that some people think (myself included) it won't grow enough to be notable in and of itself, which obviously you disagree with. If the section gets big and bulky by itself, perhaps we can revisit this discussion. --Descartes1979 (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what I agreed to already? — Val42 (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

peer review[edit]

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

Replaceable fair use Image:TracksToTelluride-tab.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:TracksToTelluride-tab.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 04:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:CantStop-sm.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:CantStop-sm.png. 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) 03:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC) [reply]

AfD nomination of Back to the Future timeline[edit]

An editor has nominated Back to the Future timeline, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 "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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Back to the Future timeline (3rd nomination) and 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. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adventures of the Little Mermaid[edit]

I have reverted your most recent edit on Adventures of the Little Mermaid. If you read the instructions for the use of {{Infobox animanga}}, you will see that the ja_name_trans is intend for transliterations of the original Japanese title into its romanji form and not an English translation of the title. --'Farix (Talk) 11:30, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everwood Utah[edit]

Hello Val42. Me and my wife are massive fans of the show Everwood, the article of which you contributed to with the picture. We are visiting our friend who plays soccer for Real Salt Lake this fall and would love to visit the Doctors office for a picture - could you please let us know if the building in your picture still exists and if so on what street in Ogden we can find it? Thank you ever so much...

Kind regards,

Simon from Scotland —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.47.194 (talk) 01:50, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Simon, you didn't leave any way for me to contact you, so I'm hoping that you check back here. I'll also leave a note on the anonymous IP address, just in case you get the same IP address.

No, the building fronts are no longer there. They were on 25th Street in Ogden, a block or two east of the Union Station, just in case you want to visit the locations where they were. — Val42 (talk) 05:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Val42. As much as I am gutted that the building is no longer there - I thank you ever so much for your reply. My friend here is having a debate with me - was the film Dumb and Dumber filmed on the same street? He reckons its filmed in Aspen - where as I say it was Ogden - land of the great Dr Brown lol. You can email me on si_man69@hotmail.com - would be good to keep in touch regardless... Cheers pal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.51.240 (talk) 09:36, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:2007-0601-SquareMile.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:2007-0601-SquareMile.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed justification by addressing specific concern. See notes on the edit I made on the image. — Val42 (talk) 05:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice[edit]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Addbot (talk) 21:10, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't edited any UK articles, that I'm aware of. Regardless, I don't think that I would be able to contribute enough to be a useful member of this Wikimedia chapter. — Val42 (talk) 06:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair Use Image[edit]

When adding/checking rationale'sourcing it would be appreciated if information about the original rights holder was included. In most cases addition of this information is easy.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When saying that I did something wrong in attribution, it would be appreciated if you told me what was wrong. The above information was included in the "Source" portion of the template. The information was mostly copied from the example given in the template, so if my usage was wrong, it would be appreciated that the example be updated to show an actually acceptable usage. — Val42 (talk) 06:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big Love[edit]

Hi; I saw you commented at Talk:Big Love in the past on the use of "Mormon" to describe the fictional family. The debate in a slightly modified form has cropped up again, this time with an editor objecting to the use of "Mormon fundamentalists" to refer to the family. I and a few others (e.g., User:Cool Hand Luke) have tried to explain, but it appears that he's still not getting it. As an editor who knows a bit about this area, maybe you could comment at Talk:Big Love#Mormon fundamentalism. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 04:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

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. Courcelles (talk) 01:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
