Sacred Band of Stepsons

Marcus, I received this very disturbing email from Orangemike. He clearly wants to delete this project and has tagged it repeatedly. Is there a higher authority to whom one can appeal, or a different, neutral editor or panel to adjudicate tbis? How do I defend the project?

Below is Harmonia's response to the email that Orangemike sent to Harmonia1's email -- not talk page. The response was posted by Harmonia1 to the Harmonia1 talk page. Please give me your opinion of where I stand and what, if any, options are available to me.

here or on my talk page?

Am I supposed to be responding here? Or on my page? I think that since langue compoudns over time, wiktionary is correct in choosing the compound form, but we need to accept all things labeled "non-lethal" and wll have to take items and capabilities on a case-by-case basis, with filters for what the end use is and how the money has flowed: developed for military or police use needs to be the first sorting mechanism. We were involved with the folks who put together the first NL kits; there we had no option but to use police-derived capabilities. Start with the non-lethal; add the nonlethal, which is usually the intellectual or better-educated, higher-end user. Tules of engagement will help. More on my page.

MAA, want to include GCV?

Matcus, it would seem to me appropriate if you wanted to put your Ground Combat Vehicle in the 'delivery' category on NLW page, since there is a requirement for NL for that vehicle, even though the specific systms have not yet been chosen. You could say that this vehicle will carry NLs, and is in development. Just a thought.Harmonia1 (talk) 21:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help

{{Helpme}} I'm not sure what other articles this affects but Mill City Museum exists as an redirect yet if I put it in the search bar (If and only if I copy and paste it!!!) I get 0 results. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 20:00, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Listed at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Vector. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 20:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Works fine for me - ie takes me direct to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_City_Museum

Possibly a problem relating to the new skin or something? Try logging out and see if it works. Also try resetting your PC. Apart from that, tech should answer. Chzz ► 20:27, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me on vector. —fetch ·comms 20:30, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still not working. It always takes me here. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 20:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you reboot? Chzz ► 20:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just did. Same thing. I'm going to run across the street to try the Universities computers.Marcus Aurelius (talk) 20:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bizzarre. Here anything I copy and paste redirects to Null. This computer uses Internet Explorer. Is there a way to find what version? Marcus Aurelius (talk) 21:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am using internet explorer 8. It should be similar for you. To find out what version of explorer it is using go to the internet explorer help menu (next to the tools menu) and click "About Explorer". In Internet explorer 7 and 8 this menu is hidden by default 6 or lower it is enabled). To turn this menu on right click anywhere near the top of the screen, directly below the go arrow works best, and select "Menu Bar". The Help Menu will then appear, along with all the other menu buttons. The problem you are having sounds like a wikipedia settings problem. To fix your problem I would go to your wikipedia preferences and reset the settings to default. If that doesn't work do to your Mypage/skin.js and click edit and blank the page and save. That will clear all of your wikipedia settings. Hope that helps --Alpha Quadrant (talk) 22:15, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And BTW to find the version of any Windows proggy, try 'Help', 'About'. Chzz ► 22:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To confirm if it is something in your own settings, just log out and see if it works that way. Chzz ► 22:30, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tried that already. See village pump. Thanks so much everybody.Marcus Aurelius (talk) 22:34, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so I see that it has been logged as bugzilla:23517. There have been quite a few problems with the interface changes. I hope they get fixed soon. Best, Chzz ► 12:30, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Phantom_ray_rollout.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Phantom_ray_rollout.jpg. 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 non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Thanks for your warm welcome and yes Saab is a Lebanese family and its spelled and pronounced differently in Arabic (صعب) The ع letter does not have an equivalent in English so people spell our name with double a vowel so we end with SAAB as our last name.--Saab 1989 (talk) 20:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Bae PIM upgrade.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bae PIM upgrade.jpg. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Whigfield II

Hello Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Whigfield II, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Context can easily be found using a simple Wikipedia search. Thank you. So Why 17:57, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, originally I thought Whigfield III was a person. Then I tried to prod the creator into adding the context. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, if it looks like a tracklist, it's someone trying to add an album, mostly because they noticed a redlink in the artist's article. So it's a good idea to google/search the title or the content that exists, to see whether you can add the context yourself. :-) Regards So Why 18:16, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. I am really sorry for the mess I have created with the Whigfield stuff, I was only trying to clean up the red links, by putting tracklists for those singles/albums/compilations. I will be looking at the main Whigfield page over the next few months trying to clean it up so it is easier to follow - it is big mess at the moment (I did not cause that!) :-) - Many thanks, Stephen Stevieboy82 (talk) 21:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
