== Hi from kingpomba ==

since you gave my brutus article a npov tag i would like to talk about this with you... also could you look over my [[Cain (software)]] article for me

==Working Families for Wal-Mart==

Would you be so kind as to point out on the discussion page what you regard as non-neutral, so that I can address it. I just started this article, but everything is from the newspaper article or the websites if the pr firm and the SEC. --[[User:Beth Wellington|Beth Wellington]] 19:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
: Sure. I've responded on the Talk page [[Talk:Working Families for Wal-Mart]]

Thanks Colin. Ottawa's a lovely city. Lucky you! As I wrote on the discussion page, I understand your comment that what was available "overwhelm[ed] the organization's information". At the time I did my initial search on google, there was no official website for the group. There is now and I am abstracting the information.--[[User:Beth Wellington|Beth Wellington]] 20:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the "[http://www.bartleby.com/61/78/A0507850.html attagirl]." (An American expression, not sure if it's used in Canada.) I'm the sole contributor to date. When I hadn't heard back from you, asked Rich, an admin I've worked with, to review it for NPOV problems. He made no changes, other than add to the talk page to ask if it was okay to remove the tag. I appreciate your doing so and the time you spent earlier in critiquing the article. If you have further suggestions or any information you want to add to the article, I'd be glad for the help.--[[User:Beth Wellington|Beth Wellington]] 20:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:It's a pleasure. (We do have attagirl too here!) [[User:Cmh|cmh]] 05:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Colin, I noticed you said you needed a source for the anonymous poster adding "Astroturfing" as a related link. The Center for Media and Democracy, publishers of PR Watch hs identified WFFWM as as front group here[http://www.prwatch.org/taxonomy/term/103/9].

Will that source suffice? If not, I will consult the professor who teaches a course at University of Milwaukee (your fellow Canadian) on "Walmarting," as he's more familiar with the literature and the web citations I've found come from blogs or anti-Wal-mart groups.
Or perhaps there could be a disclaimer, such as, "Wake-up Walmart has described WFFWM as a front group." (There's already a link to that item in the article.)

By the way, [[Astroturfing]] is defined as "In American politics and advertising, the term astroturfing describes formal public relations projects which deliberately seek to engineer the impression of spontaneous, grassroots behavior. The goal is the appearance of independent public reaction to a politician, political group, product, service, event, or similar entities by centrally orchestrating the behavior of many diverse and geographically distributed individuals."

There is certainly a public relations firm which admits this is a formal project. This may be more of an issue in the US where Congress is considering disclosure requirements for astroturfing, which in the public relations world goes by the more neutral term of "grassroots lobbying."

Will also post this to the article discussion page. Thanks for your help with this and your interest in maintaining the integrity of the article.--[[User:Beth Wellington|Beth Wellington]] 17:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

== references to Haj Amin al-Husseini's anti-semitism ==

Hello. I have answered on the talk page of the article about about your fear of fork npov. I would like to point out that I had started to gather the information far before the dispute started on that article (and more I am not involved [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-02-20_Amin_al-Husayni]. More I added a link in the [[Haj Amin al-Husseini]]'s article to this article so that everybody can be aware. Please note also there is no comment about what he would be or not. All are quotes from different people, each time with a good reference to the person who writes and to a place where one can check what was written. [[User:Christophe Greffe|Christophe Greffe]] 19:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

== AfD ==

"Is there a name for this kind of conversation? You know the kind where you wind up talking to someone who picks a random thing out of whatever you post, just so they can challenge it? I want a name so I can brandish it about whenever I'm stuck in a conversation like that"
:The purpose of an AfD is not for everyone to drop by, vote, and leave; we're supposed to build a consensus. I will hold people accountable for what they say, and I will either defend or retract what I say. I do not challenge random things for fun, and I find the accusation deeply insulting. I respectfully ask you to retract that insult from the AfD page; it serves no purpose there. [[User:Melchoir|Melchoir]] 05:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::Alright, fair enough, the comment was in poor taste. I will take it down. Let me try being more constructive here: I am frustrated when it looks like someone wants the last word all the time. I think your comments on that posting are persistent beyond the point of facilitating a good debate on the issues. It's reasonable to rebut, yes, but sometimes people disagree with you and it comes off like badgering when you rebut and rebut and rebut. Pointing out technicalities is not going to change minds beyond a certain point, and constant badgering leads to people leaving (as [[User:DanielCD|DanielCD]] has) which is not consensus even if it looks like it. Look at that discussion dispassionately for a moment and you will see the frustration around some of your remarks. At the end of the day you can't transmit your opinion just by stating it over and over and over and over. You believe this page is good for WP, others don't. Fine, that is what AfD is for. Argue your point then let the chips fall. There's always another story to write. [[User:Cmh|cmh]] 06:16, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Thank you. I ''have'' actually learned the art of walking away elsewhere on Wikipedia, but I just couldn't let DanielCD's parting shot go unchallenged. He accused me essentially of making stuff up; for the record I had to demonstrate what I was talking about. I'm sorry to badger, but I don't rely on technicalities, and I wouldn't ever just state an opinion over and over; I actually reply to the individual editors on how I think they're wrong. There is a tendency for controversial AfDs to turn into straw polls when neither side is willing to challenge the other, and we can do better than that. I regret the hard feelings, but I don't know what else I should have done. [[User:Melchoir|Melchoir]] 06:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== [[Exalead]] ==

Hi, I'm the author of this article or more exactly I've translated it from Francophone Wikipedia. You've proposed this article to be deleted because this is advertisement. I have to say that I don't know Exalead at all.

However, I've tried to make the article more neutral. I don't exactly know what I can write more on the article since the web site does not provide much information. But I think the subject is really worth an article.

Thanks for the note. The page you mentioned was a manual screw-up, not a machine-assisted screw-up. I'm not sure how I did it. I think I accidentally pasted something. Anyway, I'll try to be more careful. [[User:Bucketsofg|Bucketsofg]] 12:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I am [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] on your part, please do me the same courtesy. -- [[User:Cmh|cmh]] 05:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

== List of page titles with multiple capitalizations ==

I don't think your redirect detection code is working. For example, the very first entries in the list — [['Abbas Al-Musawi]] and [['Abbas al-Musawi]] — are both redirects to the same page. Both of them have only one edit, so they've been redirects as long as they've existed — in fact, they were created by the same user at the same time, and have exactly the same content.

(I would've posted this on the list's talk page, but you've redirected it to [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions]], where I don't think a technical issue like this really belongs.) —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 10:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

:Oops. Yes, you're right. I had some problems with pages containing single quotation marks at the start of the script development. I'm re-running those early pages now and I'll update the list. Thanks for pointing it out. The redirect is there to encourage people not to discuss the proposal in two places, so I appreciate you tracking me down. -- [[User:Cmh|cmh]] 14:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

===Obvious disambiguation candidates===
I've started working with your list to knock off the obvious disambiguation candidates. I discovered your list when I disambiguated [[Guardian angel]] and checked <u>What Links Here</u> to fix any links to the new disambig page. I will continue working with your list to clean up any other obvious candidates. I won't touch the ones which may be controvertial as per discussions above. Do you want me to just cross them off as I go (as I did with Guardian Angel), or to move them to a separate list of completed disambig efforts? [[User:MamaGeek|MamaGeek]] ([[User_talk:MamaGeek|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/MamaGeek|Contrib]]) 12:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:Great idea. Yes, crossing them off is probably a good idea. I still think it would be good to get a WikiProject going for this kind of thing, but my time available to edit has dropped off recently. Thanks for getting in touch. -- [[User:Cmh|cmh]] 14:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

==[[CKCU Ottawa Folk Festival]]==
Regarding your revert to restore [[:Category:Ottawa]] to this article:

:''Why shouldn't this be in the Ottawa category?''

See [[Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories_and_subcategories]]. An article should not be in a category and its subcategory. In this case, [[:Category:Ottawa]] is a higher-level category, and [[:Category:Ottawa festivals]] is its subcategory (by way of [[:Category:Culture of Ottawa]]). None of the other Ottawa festival articles have such duplication - if we duplicate for the Folk Festival, consistency demands all other Ottawa festivals (Tulip Festival etc) also be put in [[:Category:Ottawa]]. And then this necessarily follows for all the other Ottawa subcategories. So the question is, do Ottawa festival articles meet these [[Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories_and_subcategories#Reasons for duplication]]? [[User:Dl2000|Dl2000]] 23:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

== Hops ==

Hi. Thanks for getting in touch. Yep. I blended the hop information from RateBeer, BeerAdvocate and another source (can't recall now - did I list it?). I set about editing the information down to cut out any copyright implications, but never finished. Always intended to, but never got round to it. Always something else catches the attention! The basic information is not copyrightable, just the individual wording here and there. If you've looked at the RateBeer information and compared it to the article you'll notice differences, including different hops here and there. If you're up for finishing off the rewording, that would be great. And thanks for bringing the issue up. Happy editing! [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] 16:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:I've just done a bit of editing and popped it back into the article. I did notice that there had been some additons to my original listing - I managed to catch those as well.

== Tagging in use article ==

You removed an inuse tag from the [[FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force]] article, and rightly so according to the talk page for that template. This leads to a couple of questions:

1) Why is there an in-use template that allows you to put in a date if it will be removed within two hours of someone making the last edit. It is very unlikely that anyone will be doing major edits constantly with less than a two hour break in-between. People need to sleep sometime unless they are using artificial stimulants to stay awake. If that is the case, they probably wouldn't be in a proper condition to be doing major edits. Why keep this template?

2) How does a person tag an article that they are in the middle of creating that they know will take many days so that is doesn't get tagged with stub, reference, incomplete info, non-categorized, etc. before the person has a chance to complete the article?

==Trans Fat Page question==
Hi, I am trying to figure out if hydrogenated oils are trans fat and if not, what are they? Saturated fats? I'm not referring to partially hydrogenated oils. Both hydrogenated oils and partially hydrogenated redirect to the Trans Fat article, so there should be some clear distinctions spelled out on the page.

From the discussion of Trans-fat free Crisco on the Crisco page, it seems that "fully" hydrogenated oils are not trans-fats, but that doesn't answer the question ''what'' they are. I mean, I have a PhD and I can't work wikipedia on this issue to find what I want to know.

Thanks!

==Campus radio==

I changed the category because the old name, "College radio", is a US-exclusive term that cannot be used as the default ''international'' term. I solicited opinions from other users on how best to rename it, and "Student radio" was the consensus — both because it's a term that's internationally understood, and because all of the other university and college media categories ([[:Category:Student newspapers]], [[:Category:Student magazines]], [[:Category:Student television stations]]) use the term "student", so it provides consistency. It was a tricky case, because there are a lot of different terms for the same thing, but we had to try to come up with the best neutral "umbrella term" we could, and "student" was the least problematic option.

Also, for what it's worth, I'm not sure I understand the distinction you see between "student format" and "campus format" — I just don't see how the terms necessarily imply different things from each other. Could you explain what you think the difference is? [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 20:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

: If you'd like to propose a different alternate name, you're free to do that anytime you want. I'm ''not'' convinced that the term "campus radio" has sufficiently broad international usage to serve as the default term, but if you'd like to propose it, be my guest. The bottom line, however, is that "college radio", as a US-exclusive term, was ''definitely'' an inappropriate name for the category.

: I also still don't see how "student" implies anything different than "campus" does — at least to me, there isn't ''any'' possible name that ''doesn't'' potentially carry a false implication of "participation is restricted to people directly associated with this university". "College", "campus" and "student" ''all'' imply that restriction ''equally'', if you don't know how that system really works — and ''none'' of the terms are ever actually used with the ''intention'' of implying such a restriction. So I just don't see that one term implies anything different than the other one does. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 23:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I have absolutely no interest in picking a fight about this. I really don't particularly ''care'' what the category is named, as long as it's a neutral, internationally suitable term (which "college radio" absolutely, unequivocally wasn't, as you yourself recognize). If you want to propose a renaming discussion, go right ahead. If you're ''trying'' to get into a scrap about it, though, then go punch a pillow or something, because I'm not going to bite :-) [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 19:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Is there a good discussion anywhere of the pros and cons of different alternatives to trans fats, esp. for industry? I've seen palm oil proposed as a good alternative, even though it is high in saturated fat. I've also seen coconut oil defended and canola and soybean oils attacked. But it's all very polarized. I have not seen a scientific article that compares all of these as alternatives to trans fat.

Thank you for any leads. And kudos for your hard and patient work on the [[trans fat]] article. [[User:Annodeus|Annodeus]] 19:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

==Speedy delete tag==

Hi, I have read your message. I just wanted to delete my name from wikipedia to prevent the google referencing... Do you really mind this ? [[User:DeleteName|DeleteName]] ([[User talk:DeleteName|talk]]) 09:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

==Orphaned non-free media (File:Ckcu.png)==
[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Ckcu.png]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage|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. [[WP:BOLD|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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Orphaned --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 05:15, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale for File:BigKevUltraLaundryConcentrate.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:BigKevUltraLaundryConcentrate.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:File:BigKevUltraLaundryConcentrate.jpg|the file description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]].

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Cmh|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 uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

I am in agreement with the dictionary tone of the article. I can fix what I can or you can do it, and then if it does not conform to Wikipedia standards they always can change it back to the way it was before our edits.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Ajax Records (Chicago)]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Ajax Records (Chicago)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organizations and companies]]. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Ajax Records (Chicago)|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Ajax Records (Chicago)|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-inc-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 17:24, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Blumlein Pair.svg]]==
[[Image:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Blumlein Pair.svg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F2|section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion (<code><nowiki>{{db-...}}</nowiki></code>) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the '''[[File talk:Blumlein Pair.svg|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <!-- Template:Db-noimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Train2104|Train2104]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Train2104|talk]]&nbsp;• [[Special:Contributions/Train2104|contribs]]&nbsp;• [[tools:~soxred93/ec/Train2104|count]]) 02:43, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

== Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture ==

Hello,
My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:YarrangobillyCaves.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site:
1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm
Slang Dictionary link at:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, 
Duane Hurst in Utah, USA
