== Sigma Chi == |

I dont know if this worked, but you asked me if I was a member of Sigma Chi. I am an Alumni, Class of '04, Theta Chapter, Former Consul, Life Loyal Sig. I have attended Balfour Leadership Training Workshop, as well as numerous area initiations. I currently help out with the Philadelphia Area Alumni Chapter as well. I assume that you wrote the page on Sigma Chi or at least part of it, I was just correcting that one little point, hope you don't mind! |

Hope you get this, if so feel free to reply on my page as I will forget how I got to your page in the first place! |

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:163227347 3bf47879c2.jpg== |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:163227347 3bf47879c2.jpg]]'''. 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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

==TMNT== |
|||
Haha, thanks! The Turtles were a big part of my childhood, so... here I am! Anyway, to answer your question, yes I removed [[List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series) characters|the 1987 character list]] from the template because it is redundant, since we already have a [[List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters|list of characters]], and individual pages for all the major characters. I've already proposed that the 1987 list be merged into the complete list. Once that's done we can redirect the 1987 list to the complete list (or we can delete it, since only one other page links to it). I just didn't want to do it right away in case there is information in the 1987 list that's not in the complete list; I wanted to give someone else the time to go over it and merge the information, since I don't have time to do it myself. -- [[User:Ritchy|Ritchy]] ([[User talk:Ritchy|talk]]) 02:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC) |

==AfD nomination of Dude== |
|||
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|left|48px|]]An editor has nominated [[Dude]], an article on which you have worked or that you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|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 "[[WP:NOT|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 {{#if:Dude | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dude]] | [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dude]] }} and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). |
|||
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the [[WP:AfD|articles for deletion]] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

== Future now past. == |
|||
Things like 1984, published in 1948 it was the future. 1984 is now the past. It's a bad title I guess. [[User:Duggy 1138|Duggy 1138]] ([[User talk:Duggy 1138|talk]]) 10:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC) |

== Foundation Planets == |
|||
Hey, I noticed from a couple foundation planet articles I have watchlisted that you've been doing some work in both the template list and the list of planets. A couple months age I left a proposal on the talk page of [[List of Foundation planets]], about merging all the foundation planet articles into the list of planets, summarizing the important information, since most articles have little content or repeat themselves. Maybe the most important articles could be kept, but less important ones could be added to the list. I also think it a good idea to incorporate the minor planets to the list. What do you think about this? Thanks, --{{User:Slartibartfast1992/sig}} 22:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:There is also the [[List of minor Foundation-universe planets]] page. I think I've got (have gotten?) all of the planets separated into their appropriate pages, meaning either major or minor. None of the articles/lists/sections will ever look like [[List of Star Wars planets|this]] or [[List of Star Trek planets|this]] because there just wasn't as much written about the created universe. I've also got a private list of all the Foundation-related articles [[User:Scoutersig/practice|here in my userspace]], if you want to take a look. And what I said about the planet lists goes the same for some of the other "concepts" articles, too. —[[User:Scoutersig|Scouter]][[User talk:Scoutersig|Sig]] 23:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::So you don't think that merging all foundation articles into one single list would be a good idea? --{{User:Slartibartfast1992/sig}} 01:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::No, I don't think that's necessary at this point. Perhaps a few more merges here or there as we go, but I think that they are good at the moment. —[[User:Scoutersig|Scouter]][[User talk:Scoutersig|Sig]] 02:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC) |

==Asimov Cats== |
|||
Nope!, Novels are a literary form, normally published in book or codex form, often as serialised novels in newspapers or magazines etc. Nowadays of course they are being published online without ever seeing the printed page let alone a book. :: [[User:Kevinalewis|<span style="color: #33C;">Kevinalewis</span>]] : [[User talk:Kevinalewis|<sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page)</sup>]]/[[User:Kevinalewis/Desk|<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)</sub>]] 15:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:I think you might have the idea. Although Asimov's might have all been published so, many authors weren't. So the question is how to set up a standard structure that works across the board. For individual novels the categorization can be more free but in a broad scheme like Works by author and its sub-categories we need to be clear and simple. Novels, short stories, novellas, poems, plays, screenplays, fables, etc. all are literary forms and should not be confused with means of delivery, often thought of as media.

:Yes is does look nice - only change I would make would be to change "Books" to "Writings". I know they are all books in your current list but it would allow for the addition of "Short stories" at a later date.

Hi. I appreciated your edit in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) article moving the Disambiguation paragraph. You raise a very important point. I put a comment about the disambiguation paragraph in the [[Talk:Christian_Church_%28Disciples_of_Christ%29#Regarding_a_Disambiguation_at_the_top|Talk:Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)]] section there.

:: Fabulous! I can use all the help I can get. The [[Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)|article]] has stabilized a bit since I began editing and providing citations. Recently, most of the edits have corrected my typos. Now it is about the Disciples. Before, it seemed to be more about why we were wrong not to be Churches of Christ or independent Christian Churches. The article is weakest right now in the Regional & General Church segments. (Needing better and more concise content, citations, etc.) I am open to suggestions, edits, evaluations of strengths and weakensses. Or just occasional conversations on the talk page. I hope you have added it to your watch list. No one "owns" an article in wikipedia, but I have an investment in this one, and have enjoyed the give and take with other editors. My problem right now is that I am rapidly becoming blind to my own POV as it creeps in. [[User:Johnparkw|John Park]] ([[User talk:Johnparkw|talk]]) 18:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC) |
