Welcome!

Hello, Fightingirish, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! --Allen3 ^talk 21:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comment on DU talk page, David L. Wolper section

This is a copy of my reply to you there.

I have taken your comment to heart, and adjusted my comment. I posted that some time back, before I was registered here, and recently signed it with my registered username. The edit summary should reflect that. I would suggest you take a look at my edit history before you pass judgement on my value as a Wiki editor. Yes, I am a conservative, but I have made more than a couple of positive contributions to Wikipedia beyond arguing with users such as User:BenBurch. In fact, I would stack my edit history against his any day of the week. And FYI, I can post on DU, just not under this username, and not expressing a conservative POV. I will copy this reply to your talk page. Crockspot 16:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KFAN/KFXN

I made the edit on KFXN on the Minneapolis/St. Paul AM template because KFXN redirected to KFAN, and I already knew that KFXN had its own programming. Thanks anyways.--grejlen - talk 05:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New userboxes

I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox final solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

<div style="float: left; border:solid green 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: white;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: green; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|white}}};" | <center>'''FM'''<center> 
| style="font-size: {{{info-s|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc|black}}};" | <center>This user is a former Presenter on '''[[FM broadcasting|FM radio]]'''.

KZBR and KMAX-FM

Please use the move function, instead of copy-and-paste, when renaming a page. This avoids splitting the page history in several places. —Whomp t/c 02:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mike malloy timing

Hi - I'm wondering why you prefer past tense descriptions of Mike Malloy's radio hosting? He is still hosting the show, and the "Until" and "Prior to" versions of the text imply otherwise. Thanks for your comments.

How about that? You were exactly right. Thanks for keeping on top of things better than me. Debivort 17:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Elliott

You added some wrong info to the Jon Elliott page. He hosts from noon-2. He is only going to be a temp host at AAR not a permanent.

KOME

You have made some serious edits and are removing important information which appears to be legitemate. For example your last multi-pronged edit, which you described as "(clean-up)" [1] removed this statement :

Power was 12,500 watts, per Apr / May 1979 Arbitron, from antenna near Los Gatos, California. At this writing, that frequency is currently home to KUFX "The Fox".

Though I understand there are some presentation and sentence structure elements that may require revision I didn't see anything that required this seemingly IMPORTANT information to be deleted. I have asked you on the KOME discussion page why you are removing relevant information. Here is the message I posted:

At a first glance what you are doing appears to be removing any inconvenient truths that don't fit within what you would like the article to be. (ex.: 12000 watts? FM movie? Nemi?) I think that would be called adding a POV by removing perfectly good information. I can certainly appreciate the fact that you appear to be cleaning-up the article. In fact the first thing I generally look for is to ensure the article uses proper wiki rules when citing and giving information, found at WP:CITE. However may I politely suggest that what you are doing may be frustrating, not only to the editors that have taken precious time to add their information, but to those who realize that bits and pieces of the article appear to have been drastically changed. I also couldn't help but notice that there was a sort of timeline. Yes perhaps this would be good to be on www.wikitimescale.org, nevertheless not everyone is familiar with this auxilary wiki feature. I alway particularly enjoy a chronology and I know that everyone learns differently. Having a different format for the information will be an asset for tactile readers. Furthermore, I can see that this article is in it's infancy, but has some room for expansion. This will require better lines of communications. I was wondering, to avoid cluttering this discussion page, if you could validate your email address. Thanking you in advance for your courteous and effective response. --CyclePat 21:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In anticipation of you response. Thank you! p.s.: I will be trying to set-up my email account. I'm having difficulting with wikipedia's verification process. Thank you. --CyclePat 03:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am still waiting for your answer to the afformentioned question. It has been 7 days, and frankly, this lack of enthusiasm to answer, along with more recent observations from other users concerning your ability to properly identify a "fair use picture," creates a perpencity for me to believe that you are either "beliverant", "ignorant" or "dissobediant" to wiki rules and procedures. Secondly my prejucial values alarm is ringing like crazy and saying "this account is simply being used for "trolling" (seeWikipedia:What is a troll) and causing greef to wikipedia." Never the less I am also forming a biased opinion because of frustration from you lack of response.

The first step to conflict resolution is having both parties realize that there is in fact problem. The second step is trying to communicate that there is a problem and trying to resolve. We are unable to communicate with you. For this reason we will assume that you are no longer interest in this article. Good luck with your future edits and please, if you require any guidance, feel free to contact an advocat or administrator. --CyclePat 19:23, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE TO ALL READING THIS: I have left a reply on CyclePat's userpage, expressing my displeasure with his methods and name-calling. And I also don't appreciate the unnecessary spamming of my userpage. I warned him that if this rude behavior continues, I will notify the adminstrators. For a so-called 'advocate', this nonsense is uncalled for. I refuse to be bullied and harassed on Wikipedia. --Fightingirish 17:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOUUUU

Seriously, the HD image thing was horrid- thanks for making a new one. Simple. :-)

Recent actions at KFRC, KMVQ, KIFR

You may be interested in recent changes, renames, and history merges that occured at KFRC-FM, KMVQ-FM and related pages. Please help form a consensus about what to do at Talk:KMVQ-FM (which is where the talk page for the old KFRC ended up after the various actions were taken). DHowell 22:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sweeping out the bot messages

This page was overflowing with bot messages, pertaining to images that are without use tags or were orphaned. There were way too many of these here, and I have since corrected these images or just let them delete themselves, if no longer needed. There were simply way too many of these tags on this page, and didn't really serve much of a purpose. I will not delete any other messages on this page, even the ones bashing me. --Fightingirish 20:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KMSP-TV

Found this in an edit summary:

"Rollosmokes has given no good rationale for reverting my work, other than that this person does not like it."

What the hell are you talking about? If you chose to pay attention you would see that this has nothing to do with you personally. Firsfron was right when he said that this was ridiculous. It is when I have to defend myself against someone who can't look at things from a purely professional point of view. I really don't care if you like me, but rather if you respect my work. I respected yours when I commented on what needed to be fixed.

And, BTW, I'm not the one who started this "edit war". You blew it out of porportion. Rollosmokes 16:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, YOU started this revert war! Upon your first revert, you offered no rationale for doing so. It was disrespectful. I made more changes, and you reverted once again, prompting me to take it to the article's talk page, in a polite fashion. After you proceeded to revert every one of my edits, I retaliated by reverting yours. Frankly I am getting sick of this. You have a long, long history of this kind of behavior, and have been warned and banned numerous times for it on many other articles. You have even gone so far as to issue threats to other users on their talk pages. Perhaps you should examine why this keeps happening to you. I think it's high time you rethink your approach toward others here.

I am trying to be cordial and professional here. You are not. And don't even try to pretend you are approaching this in a mature manner. If you can't, perhaps it's high time you leave.--Fightingirish 17:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:WJMR99.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WJMR99.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 '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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 16:17, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
