Welcome

Hello, Ryanjo, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Apple logo

Greetings! I have reverted your re-insertion of the Apple logo on to your userpage. This image is tagged with a fair use tag, and as such it may not be used in userspace, per the policy found at Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9. For further explanation, please refer to User:Durin/Removal of fair use images. I have no desire to anger you in any way, but we may not use such images in userspace. Please do not re-insert the image or any other fair use images into your userpage. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me. Thanks! --Durin 03:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the error, thanks for the clarification. Ryanjo 16:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relay templates

Ryan, I think you should stop this for the time being. You have put the template in manually, which has a problem in that, if there is an error (in this case you put John Henricks instead of Jon Henricks), one would have to fix every article to fix Jon Henricks. If you put in Template: Olympic 4x200m freestyle relay for instance, and then insert {{Olympic 4x200m freestyle relay}}, then it will generate the table from the template, and when an error is fixed on all templates, it will be fixed on all of the respective articles.

Thank you for correcting me. I will construct a template and correct the articles. -- Ryanjo 02:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw your message on Talk:Harold Hardwick. A lot of the links link to someone other than the swimmer, so I had to change them. Thanks. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Penalty shootout

Hi, thanks for correcting my error in the Penalty shooutout article regarding goalkeepers... I had been dabing goalkeeper wikilinks and hadn't checked the context properly. Cheers, --Daveb 08:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redwood High Article

The "prank" was a bad heading, but it is absolutely worthy of Wikipedia. It clearly isn't worthy of it's own page, but it must be at least mentioned on the page. You cannot use fuzzy logic when determining what's "in" and what's "out". You cant leave the columbine shooting out of the Columbine High article, it was a big thing that made national television and people went to jail. This is a big thing that made national television and people will go to jail. You can just use some floppy logic to determine the difference between those two events in importance, but if someone hears something about chickens and Redwood High on Fox, it would be pretty stupid for them to find NOTHING on wikipedia. Please focus your efforts on removing information that really should be here, rather than protecting an article you practially wrote. I'll review the rules, to make sure, but I am pretty sure that you are doing something explicitly forbidden by Wikipedia. For Wikipedia to work, it must be a continually growing pool of knowledge, and reverting a page whenever someone adds information just because you don't like the unbiased truth is working against Wikipedia. --General Eskimo
