User talk:Boneheadmx

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Boneheadmx! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 09:50, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi! I see that you've been actively patrolling recent changes, as well as making a lot of good article contributions. It's always good to have another infantryman in the trenches.

It would be a great help to other contributors if you could try to make use of the edit summary box when you make edits, however. For other editors who have articles on their watchlists and for those of us who are watching for vandalism life is a lot easier if you mention–very briefly–what you've done.

For an edit like this one where you reverted the edits made by a page blanking vandal, a short summary along the lines of rvv (revert vandalism) is sufficient. (Otherwise people see that 37 kB has been added to the article, and wonder if it's spam or other vandalism.) Many thanks for your future edit summaries, and keep up the good work.

Bowles Hall

Hey, I've decided to clean up Bowles Hall since someone decided that it needed it. Looking at two of the pictures, mainly Image:Bowles Hall Old.jpg and Image:Bowles Hall Crest.jpeg I'm not sure on the copyright status.

Can you tell me where you found Image:Bowles Hall Old.jpg? I think you're the one who uploaded it, you did on Commons at least, and I can't check the history here. The picture may be old enough to be public domain, but it's also very possible it isn't. It needs to get tagged with the correct info or it's going to get deleted it looks like, and it's a very nice picture.

As for Image:Bowles Hall Crest.jpeg, again it's unclear. I'm really not sure if it’s tagged correctly, as a scan of a work is not an original work and therefore you may not be able to release it’s copy write. However, I think the following may apply regardless, and so it should be fine to keep:

Anyway, any help you can provide would be much appreciated! I'll look for your reply here.

Go bears! --Falcorian | Talk 22:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I'll tag Image:Bowles Hall Crest.jpeg with coatofarms then. If you could try to find out more about the old picture, that would be great, as I'm not sure it's usable currently. --Falcorian | Talk 23:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Criminology

Welcome to Wiki! Good to have someone else interested in more theoretical issues. I am passing through criminology by accident (it was not really one of my stronger areas of expertise). I noticed what I considered a grave situation on victimless crime but was thrown out by some Libertarians. This inspired me to update and upgrade the whole criminology coverage (and, in the process, go round the obstruction by renaming the page victimless crime (political philosophy): you might be amused by the debate I provoked on the Talk page to test out how rational they were). Feel free to contribute where you have the expertise. I am working my way through the Schools and Theories. I will be doing Classical, Positivst and Left Realism next, and infilling more on Social Control/Bonding, etc. Why not cast a young and up-to-date eye over my creaking efforts and improve them at will. Or do something to deviant behavior which is woefully underdeveloped. In other words, any and every contribution you can make is welcome. David91 12:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most recently, I have been working on Right Realism so you must tell me whether I have managed to maintain an NPOV stance. I will be separating out Social Bonding, Social Learning Theory, Situation Theory, and Rational Choice to their own pages. Similarly, I will take Strain Theory out of anomie where it currently resides. It is quite good fun to think about all this again. Glad to have someone else to share the load. David91 14:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the pretty picture in Strain Theory. David91 13:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

REMO

Hello. My name is Random Task. I am looking for help on an article, and hope you will contribute. I was quite surprised to find there was no article for the REMO Drumhead Company. There is now, but it is very small, and needs work. Seeing as you're a drummer, I hope you can help. Also, please inlist the help of other Wikipedian drummers you know. Thank you.

Rutka Laskier

Hi, I just heard that Rutka Laskier is up for WP:Did you know?. Badagnani 17:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They credited me as the creator but I changed it on the DYK page to you. You must have created it about 2 seconds before I did, because I got an edit conflict on the very first edit! I figured you saw it on the Yahoo main page or something at the same time I did. The article is good but could be better. There's apparently a book about her in Polish and there's a lot more info about her life on the Polish WP page. Badagnani 23:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the main page as a DYK! Badagnani 21:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, not every article is interesting enough to be a "Did you know" article. This is the second one I've been associated with; maybe you'll enjoy my first... Badagnani 01:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:HK_33.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:HK_33.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 11:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Grand Prix Circuit Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Grand Prix Circuit Cover.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. BetacommandBot 01:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The Owls (band)

A tag has been placed on The Owls (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. P4k 10:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
