Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dvd video logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dvd video logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently 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. 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 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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hello J.delanoy, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 18:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I noticed your name show up on a page I have on my watchlist, saw you did a lot of reverting in your contributions, reviewed some of your reverts, and after being pleased with your correct vandalism-reversions, I decided that rollback would benefit you. :) Good luck. Acalamari 19:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

not constructive?

how was it not constructive? All I day was change it to the same format every most other wikipedia pages about cities use, not only that, the word caucasian lnked to European Ameican, not all Whites are of European descent. My brother-in-law is White, and he happens to be Egyptian. I did what was correct, what was proper, I did not do anything that was destructive. I'm not sure why I am being hounded for making a correction. 67.173.195.17 (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC) well, I'm going to be honest with you, I am going to change it back, and, while I'm at it, look for some more sources for it. I just don't like it when people attack me when I'm correct, if you thought I was improper, you have every right to do so, but, Europeans are not the only White people, and that's what I was getting at. Also, the term Caucasian is not usually used in official documentations for alot of things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 19:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC) It's alright;everyone has a different opinion about something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 03:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I posted was legitimate. On Cap'n Crunch...I added references. I read it in Uncle John's bathroom reader, and if you prefer...google it. You'll see I'm accurate.

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

For Salamis' place, you do not need to go to the island. Open Google Earth, and see that in Salamis Northern Cyprus flag is waving. I am giving the correct info. If you take Rep of Cyprus Visa and tries to visit You cannot see Salamis. Because, Salamis resides in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and You need to take Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus visa. If you prevent people in the world from correct information, then many negative things may occur as I examplified 88.252.64.238 (talk) 20:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I did cite Wikipedia's Kermit Schaefer page. The purpose of my posting was to point out that the unsourced urban legend posted by 68.158.64.90 was unsubstantiated.

I am sorry you were offended that I deleted a bit of badly spelled trash that was located on the page entitled "Watermelon". However, what you "corrected" was not a bit that I intended to delete anyway. Ah, but someone has to defend the "Watermelon" page from those evil ones who might delete a couple extra empty spaces.

Your revert on Prayer

Why did you make this change? If you will do a case-sensitive search throughout this article, you will find that every time the word "God" is used, it refers to a certain deity specific to the religion in subject. If the word refers to "a god," as in this case, it should be lowercase. I'm leaving it alone for the time being, but if you have no objections, it should be changed back to "god."

Dear Sir

The part which I meant to delete, and in fact did delete was a blue box at the top of the page containing words that said something along the lines of " It is said by manny scientist that a watermelon is a veggi but thier is still alot of debat." You can see in the edit history of the article that the blue box was in fact once there. Please do not contact me again.

Winston Churchill in politics: 1900-1939

I would appreciate your comments on the first two sections as they are now. Are they too long, are they unclear? Should I add something on how contemporaries saw Churchill at that stage (his early Liberal phase?)- there's heaps of material from the Webbs, Lady Asquith &c &c) I will get to the next sections (Admiralty, Dardanelles) shortly Backnumber1662 (talk) 10:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eli Manning

Hey! Thanks for helping edit the Eli article. I've been working on his article off and on for the last 3 months and added most of the references and photos. I saw you added the peer review request. A lot of the links I added are either dead or not properly formatted (I mean they're not using the <ref name="this">{{cite web|url=|title=|author=|publisher=|accessdate=|date=}}</ref> format. Could you help me fix those up? I can't do it from my current location (I only get educational sites), but it's something I've been meaning to do from home. I'd like to see this article get FA soon. Thanks! --EndlessDan 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks. I'll start sprucing it up some more. I have been planning on writing a high school portion and expanding his college career. --EndlessDan 19:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the Eli article has been cleaned up - awesome job! I will expand the college career sometime this week. --EndlessDan 16:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, the Eli article is looking sharper now. I'm not sure how the GA process works, so I was wondring if you can help out --Endless Dan 21:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Single issue IP editor to liquid breathing

I have the feeling 71.224.14.76 actually is T. H. Shaffer, a founder in the field of liquid ventilation. An honor, so let's cut him some slack till he learns to cite. That doesn't mean I think he should be reversion-proof, but he's certainly no vandal, and should not be treated like one. If ever there was a case of WP:BITE, this is it. So let's not embarrass ourselves. S B H arris 02:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Lynchburg Edits

Hi J. Delanoy. Myuser name is nhakimi I am new to wikipedia editing and had no intention of vandalizing. Furthermore I know no other way of contacting you than writing here as I am right now. Please understand that my intentions are only good, and that I sincerely wish to discuss with you further how you suggest I make contributions to pages such as that for Lynchburg without vandalizing. Thank you and apologies for offending.

Well sir I accept your apology and as a matter of fact am immensely relieved that I was actually ok. The last thing I wanted to do starting out was incur the wrath of a (well-respected and highly experienced, I gather) administrator such as yourself. You certainly haven't scared me away from wikipedia. I'm a little traumatized, but I'll survive and I'll stick around :)

You know, the best way you can make it up to me is be available for help when I need someone to help me learn my way around!

Let's start with this question: when I have referenced a source, and I want to refer to the same source later, how do I make a tag that will refer to the source I've already used? Ex: Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). it simply made a repeat of the old reference.

I appreciate your help and your graciousness... no worries about the mistake.

Hi Nhakimi. I bumped into your question here (don't ask me how....) and tried to answer it on your talk page. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the userpage revert. I was asleep at the time so I really appreciate the revert. and if you were wondering, yes they were incorrect :) AngelOfSadness talk 17:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar. Huggle is really fast. ;) jj137 (talk) 00:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was it that fast? ClueBot usually gets vandalism in about four or five seconds. jj137 (talk) 00:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems Huggle loads diffs no matter what they look like, so they are all treated "the same". What I've found patrolling Recent changes is that if you take any diff from an IP (not just the bolded red ones, lots of people go after those), you are able to find more vandalism and revert it. I sometimes will look for anything from +5 to +50, because a lot of those are vandals adding "comments" to the articles. jj137 (talk) 02:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. If you want to give Huggle a try, I can forward the email to you. jj137 (talk) 02:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: A Few Questions

Question I tried to get the statusbot thing to work on my user page, but I can't figure out why it won't say I'm anything but "somewhere". Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer Many people are confused by that to. Some people, do think that Status Bot is malfunctioning. However, you can use my Status item on my userpage. I can put this in your talk page if you would like.

Question I tried to look at the source code of your userpage to try to fix the problem outlined in question 1, but I have to admit your anti-vandal strategy has me stumped. How on earth did you do that? (If you don't mind telling me... If you want, you can email me if you don't want the info to be available in my talk page history, which seems wise.).

Answer I'll make this work on your userpage, and I'll email you instructions on how to edit it.

QuestionI have noticed you have the "admin hopeful" userbox on your page. I looked at your last 5000 contributions (well, your edit summarys for them...), and I think you would be an excellent administrator. Would you like me to nominate you?

Answer ~~I appreciate~~ ~~I really appreciate~~ I really really appreciate the offer. However, Jj137 already has plans to nominate me on the Ides of March (March 15th). But I would really appreciate a co-nomination from you. Please feel free to ask any other questions. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:User:Milk's Favorite Cookie

Sure. I think WBOSITG is planning to co-nom as well, so I guess there will three nominators. :) jj137 (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure what you would call it. "Another co-nomination", "Co-co-nomination", "third nomination", take your pick. :) jj137 (talk) 00:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

neutrality

the baghdad batteries have no evidence suporting their uses, its all speculative, and no making something generate electricty does not mean thats what it was used for or even did. so therefore the statements i put are neutral and are not vandalism, but mearly stating the obvious.
