Hey Val
[edit]I just find it to be... ? that all the articles you wrote are going to be/will be deleted. You did a really good job writing them, and I'm going to keep a copy. Oh well, but keep up the good wikiedits.
Dumb Quote of the Day
[edit]If gold isn't yellow, its the color we imagine and see. =D
Nice!
[edit]Thanks for adding the free image of Régine Chassagne. I kept meaning to put a {{reqimage}} tag on the article and never did remember to. --Dhartung | Talk 08:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit]See the last topic (#11) on the LP Talk page. I removed you topic since it was a redundant, and the answer was directly above it. --- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 19:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Style of comment
[edit]Hi, you might want to take it easy on new page authors, such as Talk:Chris_Mc_Donald. I agree that his page was completely inappropriate, but often people start by writing rubbish, then improve! Just a suggestion... --Tomhannen 22:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the assist in preventing vandalism to my page. Apparently, he's another satisfied customer... :) Arcayne 02:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Dealing with vandalism
[edit]Do not insult the vandals or provoke them for that matter. When warning a vandal, try and use the standardized template warnings listed at WP:UTM. See Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism for further details. Thanks. -- Netsnipe ► 18:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Your edits
[edit]Your rapid editing seems to indicate the presence of an unapproved bot. Please clarify the situation so that you may be unblocked. Thanks. —210physicq (c) 00:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- You may respond to my query here on this page. —210physicq (c) 00:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- LOL, I just knew that would happen. Anyway, I wasn't using a bot, I was just adding the welcome message to every new user on the User Creation Log page. How can I provide evidence? Burnedthru 00:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe just slow down a bit. :) Natalie 00:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- Unblocked, and on your way... —210physicq (c) 00:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- One suggestion I would have is to reserve the welcome message for those who have actually made contributions. So many people register an account and never make any edits it seems like you might be wasting your time welcoming every single one of them. Natalie 00:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I raised the issue if this article which you created is valid encyclopedic content. You can comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#.5B.5BVariable_Shape_Geometry.5D.5D. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- I received the pamphlet I referenced not too long ago in school. The front cover said Variable Shape Geometry by Val Bess and that's all. I asked one math professor about it and he said that it (the geometry) is still being developed and the pamphlet is what the "creator" has 'discovered' so far. I really don't know if it was published or not but it seemed worthy enough for an article so I made one. Burnedthru 22:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Variable-shape geometry
[edit]An editor has nominated Variable-shape geometry, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for 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 "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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Variable-shape geometry and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 19:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Nonnotable article subjects
[edit]Believe me, we're trying to delete all the articles on nonnotable people. Problem is, people keep adding new ones... NawlinWiki 21:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome?
[edit]Thanks for the welcome, but seeing as how I have been here longer than you, shouldn't I be welcoming you? Welcome! ;-) --PEJL 00:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Black Mirror.png
[edit]![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Black Mirror.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:37, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Mark Twain Intermediate School.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Mark Twain Intermediate School.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 17:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers
[edit]Hi Burnedthru,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
- Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
- Editor-focused central editing dashboard
- "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
- Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
- Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list
Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Note: You received this message because you have transcluded {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Please help with usability testing
[edit]Hello! The mw:Anti-Harassment Tools team is running a usability test to find out how and where IP addresses are used when patrolling wikis, particularly when patrolling RecentChanges. This could include New Pages or RecentChanges patrol. We want to see your patrolling process and get your views on some prototypes. Getting your perspective would be really helpful to us at this stage of the process. If you’d like to help, and have 30 minutes to spare, please fill out this Google form with your details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjYyRNGMkO4_TdNOgG4qmK9cp9YOKzM4GFO5pTd_bEcu23YQ/viewform
For the purpose of the tests we’ll be using Google Forms for recruitment, and UserTesting.com to conduct the actual tests. Please review the privacy statement and release form in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ijmwrIoNO0W1p_zfFU1LBf3_6mFF53kUUFy1L_DCUKc (Google docs link)
