I thought we have reached a concensus there, but someone else apparently either misread our discussion or disagreed; and in any case that user did not discuss his changes in the talk page. I wonder if you have anything to comment. Thanks.—Gniw (Wing) 02:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

About the dispute, it is apparently resolved. (Perhaps we have not been careful enough of the wording.) Thanks.—Gniw (Wing) 18:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AA Mediation Request

Re: Ryan, I'd like to take this dispute to mediators. Please respond on my talk page. Please do not remove the citations until the mediation process is resolved. Another option is to ask for a third party opinion, or to ask informal moderators.

Hi. Wikipedia has precedent for removing disputed material to the talk page while conflicts are being resolved. If you wish to enter the mediation process in good faith, then I ask that you allow the material to be removed to the talk page until the process has reached resolution.

I've consistently argued my case by referring to Wikipedia's standing policies and guidelines. These arguments have not yet been addressed. More than once, your arguments have consisted of claims that explicitly contradict wikipedia's policies and therefore are claims that I reject. I believe that wikipedia's policies and guidelines constitute an objective standard we can use to resolve disputes. Before we request mediation, I believe you should consider to what extent our respective claims are explicitly justified in Wikipedia's standing policy and guidelines as per it's policy and guidelines pages. If you believe I have a misunderstanding, you should say why. I think we should have one last attempt to negotiate before entering mediaton.

If, however, you want to immediately enter mediation then I think we should both list the points of contention, our respective arguments and then we can put up a RfM.

Here are what I believe to be the questions at hand:

Should disputed material without citations be moved to the talk page?

Should a citation that is disputed because it is incomplete be moved to the talk page until a complete citation can be given?

When is it appropriate to use a highschool student newspaper as a source? Is it appropriate to use a student newspaper for the claims made in the AA Article?

Please feel free to add to this list. After that we can list our respective arguments and provide everything to a mediator. --Ryan Utt 03:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - U.S. FAC

Hi,

Thank you for supporting the recent FAC of United States, but unfortunately it failed to pass. However, I hope you will vote again in the future. In the mean time, please accept this Mooncake as a token of my gratitude.--Ryz05 _t 15:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patricia Madrid

Thanks for that. I noticed you read Mrs. Dalloway--I love Virginia Woolf. And, I noticed you hate Ann Coulter, I mean, I basically love her...but only because she's so ridiculous and unbelievable. I couldn't possibly imagine what she could do next, especially after sending anthrax to newspaper companies.

I find your comments on the Heather Wilson Talk page interesting. Contact me via e-mail, please. Dino 13:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Abqtrib flag.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Abqtrib flag.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Fair use rationale for Image:MovieAuntMay.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MovieAuntMay.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? Rettetast (talk) 14:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Navigation Boxes for NNAA

Hi, I'm contacting you because I see you have made edits to Albuquerque Academy. Some navigation boxes were recently added for the New Mexico Activities Association allowing people to navigate which schools competed with each other. These templates are now threatened. Please make your voice heard regarding the NNAA Navigation box issue: [1]. They have already deleted the Nav box for all of 3A and 4A but these decisions can be reversed. However, your support is needed. Greg Comlish (talk) 05:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Vontafeijos! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 331 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Fair use rationale for File:Kavitarao.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kavitarao.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
