See Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Basically they should come from a section of a website clearly labelled as a 'press kit'. However, screenshots are far less controversial. If you can find a genuine screenshot from a DVD extra, documentary, or something...The JPS 12:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:Jerry_Rice.JPG Thanks for uploading Image:Jerry_Rice.JPG.

Thanks for fixing the links on the Bela article. I hope I didn't bite your head off on that edit summary. I had been dealing with silly edits on other articles just before that, and my immediate response was 'egh, not again.' My connection's died in the middle of edits, I should have thought of that. :) Thanks again for stepping in! Namaste, Mademoiselle Sabina 09:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Your VandalProof Application Dear Nscheffey, Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. AmiDaniel (talk) 06:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC) Your revertion of my edit http://www.counterpunch.org/fisk01152005.html theres your source... --80.6.254.59 22:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC) List of queercore musicians um what did you revert--Terronez 03:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC) I already fixed it, just letting you know.Nscheffey 03:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC) Iraq War Article I just wanted to say I think your edits to the article were perfect in removing much of the garbage that was put into it. Since it has not been reverted it looks like an outside observer and cool head was all that was needed. Thank again. --zero faults |sockpuppets| 13:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC) I know you feel you do not know too much about the situation, but if you have read over the summaries by both parties and agree with one of the summaries you can endorse one. You do not have to write out your own piece on the situation. Also I do appreciate the help you offered to the Iraq War article, its an idea I offered but was shot down in a mediation cabal. I think it took an outsider to the conflict to make the decission seem unbiased. Some of what you may have read over is just a part of it, some of it was archived. The best part about this whole thing is while we may have different views on the war itself, I was still able to see how useful your edits were. Just to state my beliefs, I think the war is morally bankrupt. However legally its on solid ground till an international court decides to look into it. The issue with my edits is, facts d not support my personal view, and so I put only what I can factually prove and source in the article, I dont think I will ever be able to prove some of my outlandish views on why the US went to war. --zero faults |sockpuppets| 10:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your welcome greetings Hello Nscheffey, thank you for your welcome greetings. I hope, that I can help the en:WP, because I have written some articles about Thuringia in german WP and there are a lot of thinks to do here.

Nscheffey(T/C) 16:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC) Your User Page Hey, I was just randomly perusing UserPages looking for inspiration for my own when I stumbled upon yours. I have to say it's the most aesthetically pleasing page I've ever seen on Wikipedia, period. Did you design it yourself? Very clean, crisp and elegant. Anyway, just thought I'd throw some wikiprops your way. Namaste. Nscheffey(T/C) 16:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I did design it myself. Good luck on designing your page and if you need or want any help, you can always contact me. joturner 16:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC) Tagi AFD I posted a message like this on the Tagi AFD page. It was for you and three other editors. You wanted to make it a redirect. I said that if Tagi becomes a redirect why not every tribe in Survivor history? What makes it special?TeckWizTalkContribsGuestbook 11:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC) That's fine. I think every Survivor tribe in history should redirect to their appropriate season. Why not? By the way, the link to the Contribs in your sig is broken, you need to change Special:Contribution to Special:Contributions. Cheers. --Nscheffey(T/C) 12:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for letting me no about the broken link. However, I'm pretty sure many users (including me) would list these for RFD. Even now you can see the article isn't deserving of a redirect, otherwise every tribe would have one. Just a guess I don't think anyone would actually search for Tagi. Instead they would go to Survivor: Borneo's page to look at it. Please comment back. Sigs broken but:TeckWizTalkContribsGuestbook 12:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Even though you might not think anyone would search for a specific Survivor tribe rather than the season itself, it is better to be safe than sorry. This is why we have redirects for misspellings, etc. The possible good of keeping the redirect far outweighs any reason for deleting it. --Nscheffey(T/C) 12:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Per Big Brother 6 Is it good faith to assume bad faith without careful review? Ste4k 17:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC) I believe I did carefully review the article, and your comments on the AfD page seem to confirm what I feared: you are not using this AfD nom to actually delete the article, you are using it to draw attention to your beef with, I don't know, this television show, or all television shows. If you have problems with the article make a request for comment, or discuss it in WP:Notability, but don't nominate it for deletion when you know it won't be deleted. This is disturbing Wikipedia to make a point. --Nscheffey(T/C) 17:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC) These are two seperate issues. Regarding Big Brother, I retain my opinion, that an encyclopedia should list notable events that are historically accurate and important. I feel that too much time of too many editors is wasted bickering on that particular article. I also feel that the other editor purposely disregards factual matter in all previous articles. Whether or not it was appropriate to nominate the article as AfD has two sets of opinion. Perhaps you know of other television show articles, but for me, this is the only one that I am aware of. and now another user has suggested a bad faith nom Before I reply to this, I'd like you to speak with that other user. I do not believe that he suggested a bad faith nom, nor do I believe that you understood him correctly. Be that as it may . . . On the other topic, it matters nil to me about a single user that has an anonymous advocacy group behind his intents and his motives. I could easily take the time here to point out several personal attacks, etc, but the matter, in my opinion, has nothing to do with me personally; i.e. I prefer not to play games with immature individuals and bringing up any of his past harrassment issues would simply enflame rather than quench. He apparently believes that I am somehow associated with people of his past and User_talk:Andrew_Parodi#Importance_of_article he has not once acted in good faith with me, nor any of my comments. As a "cleanup" person, the manners in which I have in the past found systematic problem areas is probably unlike many others. Please see the comment by User:Superwad regarding one particular means by which I associate myself with articles near the bottom where he casts his vote to delete. My chief concerns are with policy, disambiguity of the same, and for the encyclopedia on the whole, rather than any one article in particular. True, one may say that I have submitted several articles of one specific category to AfD, however, most of them were created by one author whom has yet to establish the reasons for creating the tree in the first place. It matters little to me whether the article exists or not. If it does exist, however, then it must adhere to policy and in that regard speak from a NPOV. Please see the comments of that author my talk page archives where he states that he refuses to cooperate for the betterment of the article on the whole. I believe that he may also be associated with this book and the company that produces it in a manner which is against the guidelines. I select the category [A_Course_in_Miracles]] for review, and find that he has been the original author of all of these articles within a short amount of time. It is my right as an editor to bring up this category for review by fellow editors, and I believe that doing so allows a consensus rather than if I were to begin edit warring, etc. Because I haven't been here that long, if there is another avenue for such matters, please point it out and consider me advised. I have already put that particular central article up for RfC, many of the rest I have cleaned up with Speedy Delete, and the rest should be given the due process and scrutiny. That I happened upon this particular article was random chance. My interest in this particular article began when casually going through the AfD itself en masse, I came upon his article. I was under the impression that AfD entries were to be closed before they were removed, etc. and that they would last at least five days or something to that regard. This article's headers were removed and it was delisted from the AfD until I made a query about it on IRC to administrators there who corrected the problem. If the article about the book remains, that is fine with me, but it should be about the book and you can see my central concerns on that matter here. I just noticed his first comment which is again made in bad faith. I will ignore it and move on to my other projects until later. I don't understand how User:Andrew Parodi has the right to "own" this article and his actions are gender offensive, calling me "buddy", in my opinion is simply rude. Ste4k 10:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
