Thanks for the Barnstar

I appreciate the Barnstar and the gracious way you handled our dispute. It's kind of odd being on the other side of the fair use argument. (Normally, I'm the champion riding that horse!) Out of this whole thing I'm gaining a better understanding of the copyright law, which is always good.

Anyway, I hope we end up on the same side someday. Let me know if I can assist with an issue somewhere. Normally I moderate and work on the good articles page. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 01:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

If you'd seen the way others have acted in intense controversy, you'd see that your actions, rise to mildly irritated. 8-) --CTSWyneken^(talk) 10:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use in portals

I created an amendment for fair use in portals, as well as submitted to village pump, see here: Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals#Also. It would be great if you could express your support there. ddcc 21:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

LSU tigers deletion nomination

I'm not nominating these articles because I think they are bad articles, or are poorly referenced, I'm nominating them because its silly to have a unique page for each season of each team for one sport for each school in Division 1. Any easy fix for this would be to merge them into one article for each team, with a different section for each season/year. If you all don't agree, then you're blind to your own bias, and life will go on. DesertSky85451 00:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I won't use the phrase "blind to your own bias" because I think it is a bit rude, but perhaps you should examine your own bias before you make claims about anyone else's? Even if you don't think that college football is important, you may want to consider that perhaps lots of Wikipedia readers do think it is important and would expect us to contain thorough knowledge of the topic.

I don't know shit about LSU, or the Longhorns, and I don't care, but I also don't like the deletion of useful information from Wikipedia. I do, however, like a neat and orderly wikipedia, and these articles offend my sense of cleanliness. What is your objection to a merger into one article for each school's football program? DesertSky85451 00:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps seaons by decades, like LSU has for 1893-1899 > see here? There has to be a way to make this neater. DesertSky85451 01:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I recognize that there are very few of these articles, but I'm worried that we're headed down a slippery slope. Soon there will be articles for Duke Blue Devils 1975 basketball season, Baylor Bears 1955 bible-thumping season and Harvrd Crimson 1990 lacrosse season. Where will it end? Also, do I actually stand a chance of getting these merged, or should I just give up? DesertSky85451 01:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

You're an admin, so tell me: How do I withdraw the deletion nomination? DesertSky85451 15:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for being willing to talk about this. I'm going to assume that since you and I tend to feel the same way about an overabundance of articles on this encyclopedia that you'll be a force for reason and restraint in College 'ball wikiproject. I think the lesson I'll take away from this is to start the dialog more gently next time instead of using an AfD. Time for me to take my deletionist agenda elsewhere.

response to greeting.

Thank you for the message you sent me.

AfD closing

Could you do it? There are lots of pages....? Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 20:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh thanks

Yes, I am feeling sad at so much of wastage of resources at useless discussion here. I feel a bit relieved that there are wikipedians like you who care about fello-wikipedians. Thnaks. --Bhadani 02:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
