Rose Page

You copyedited the presidential crisis section of the rose page and changed the meaning a little bit. The way I worded it was intended to be fair to Midgley while at the same time recognize the student's disagreements. For instance, I thought it was necessary to emphasize that not all students were against his leadership. I also wanted to point out that the votes of no confidence from the SGA was unanimous, but not from the faculty. Finally, I said that there were people who felt he the issues stemmed from him following Hulbert. I realized I forgot to cite this when I was making the edits, next time can you include a "citation needed" tag instead of deleting it? Thanks! 24.22.5.172 18:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete Mr. Hatfield's name from the distinguished alumni?!?! I know it may be a while since you've been back to school but he did form Calix, and sold it for billions. I hope you don't hold any resentment, but I'm not sure why you found it necessary to delete his name from the distinguished alumni, he did donate money to build an entire theater and arts building. You aren't the only one who graduated from Rose...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.112.152.87 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 10 May 2007

Hello there. Ah, to be back in the 137.112... I removed Hatfield because the criteria for notability has to be more than merely being wealthy. There is no Michael Hatfield page on Wikipedia, and he's not even the most famous or notable Michael Hatfield, at least measuring by Google. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but let's wait a while to see if he does anything significant with his money or talent that warrants mention in an encyclopedia, in connection to RHIT.

Re: OR

Hey Cmprince,
I looked at the list on that page you gave me to see what constitutes orignal research... but I'm pretty sure what i did wasn't original research. Though the source didn't say directly that Carmel is the largest, by comparing enrollment to the other schools in the list (it's a list of the high schools in IN having more than 2,000 students enrolled in 2006-2007), Carmel has the most students. By the way, on the source you have to view each school's page separatley... after the page loads, there's a grey box and one line says "Enrollment 2006-2007".

Thanks,

RC patrol

Heya, good to see a new face on RC patrol. You can use {{del}} instead of {{delete}} though, saves a little typing. If all goes to plan you'll soon even be able to use {{d}}, but not yet. --fvw * 18:15, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)

USA Portal

I'm not sure if you're still around but if you are then can you please update Portal:USA. It is in urgent need of updating. Deano 09:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

airport stubs

FYI. There is a {{US-airport stub}} template. Vegaswikian 19:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Connecticut

Wow, you are going great guns. Thank you. Good question on climate. I remembered climate zones in a world atlas, found it on my shelf, and was then able to link to an appropriate wiki article: Koppen_climate_classification#GROUP_D:_Continental.2Fmicrothermal_climate.

Thanks for the Smile

I think you are now in the early lead for "best edit summary of 2007"

Your comment made my day. Thanks. Unschool 05:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the "immersion lithography" better at explaining now? Thanks in advance.61.61.254.9 04:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Philosophy

Great to have you come into the article.

There has been a debate primarily among 4 users.

We need another voice/input.

Your contribution seems well put.

Please - do not disappear - we, and Wikipedia - need you!!!

Hot 8 DYK

Thanks! I knew somebody out there must have known more about this group. Cmprince 00:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad I could help. However, like most things I write about, I didn't know a damn thing about the Hot 8 Brass Band. I just used my web browser and found what I could. House of Scandal 00:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK!

On January 13, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hot 8 Brass Band, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thank you for your contributions! Nishkid 64 01:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

image source data

Hi SpLoT, I tagged the image Image:EN Worldwide coups d'état.PNG with {{references}}. Do you have a source for it that can be mentioned in the image page? Cmprince 06:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The information in the map comes from many different sources; see Talk:Coup d'état#Worldwide coups map. Thanks. - SpLo T _(*C*+u+g) 08:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

World Cup

Yeah, you're right - I failed to take into account the game just finished. I've reverted so much over-eager shading over the last couple of days, I guess I had a brain explosion. Hesperian 23:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nova Scotia TCH

The province of Nova Scotia does not use the Provincial Highway Shields for Nova Scotia leg of the Trans-Canada Highway. Cavenba^{talk to me} 02:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact they do. With the only difference being the numbers. I've contacted the creator of the image I linked to no avail. It would be good if we could have some TCH (NS) signs. Cavenba^{talk to me} 01:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, I have a issue with it. The colour is too dull, it's more of an Islamic Green or Green. Otherwise, GREAT WORK! Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't already remade it Forest green is the right colour. Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, most of the transparency should be white: Maple leaf, ribbons... Although this is not very important. Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you again, but it would be good to have one similar to Image:tch.png with no province and no numbers (or number sign in the case of Nova Scotia). Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One issue, there is already an image named Image:TCH.png on Wikipedia, meaning that the Commons image cannot be used directly. Cavenba^{talk to me} 04:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure, but I'll look at a real one later today, and tell you then. Cavenba^{talk to me} 11:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Upon a closer look, there is no dash... Cavenba^{talk to me} 20:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We could use a set of NS Route signs... (ie Nova Scotia Route 4)[1] Cavenba^{talk to me} 01:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

I fail to see why you removed the comments regarding the SCAC's relative lack of success as an athletic conference on the national level. It is a proven fact that with very few exceptions the SCAC's athletic programs are not national powers, and that is reflected by the paucity of national championships. It is also a fact that conferences such as the NESCAC and the President's Athletic Conference have earned many more championships despite even more strict academic admission requirements and higher costs to attend. I put that paragraph in when I created the page and it has survived intact until you decided to cut that out. I am a graduate of a SCAC institution and suppose you must be too, because nobody else would give a damn. If you can't deal with the truth of the situation then leave the article alone. If you want to refute the basic premise then state some facts to back your position up. Five championships in over 25 years certainly supports my premise. 68.94.230.174 04:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the text again for the reasons stated in the edit summary and on the talk page. Please take your concerns with the article's content there. Cmprince 04:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia Tech debate

Hey, I don't know if you're still following this insanity (discussion's way too big to find any specific users anymore), but the admins moved in and ruled concensus in our favour on the Glock 19 article. Looks like this'll be wrapped up really soon. About bloody time, eh? It'll finally be back to making constructive additions to Wikipedia. Gamer Junkie 20:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reading further, it appears you've changed your position on the matter. Oh well, each to their own. In any case, we'll all be back to our regular edits soon. Cheers. Gamer Junkie 22:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, that's cool, I get that. It's a good compromise, but in my experience, admins don't compromise, and they're running the show now. They'll stomp the P22 argument into the ground just like the Glock 19 argument and hear nothing else. Frankly, I'll just be glad to get it over with. Gamer Junkie 22:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Walther P22 disputes continues

Hello. The discussion of whether to include a mention of the Virginia Tech massacre at the Walther P22 article continues. Earlier, a compromise was reached to include a mention of the Viriginia Tech massacre in a "See Also" section of this article, but now that idea is being debated. Care to weigh in? The Walther P22 is being discussed here. Griot 16:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of 2007 Swiss incursion into Liechtenstein

I've nominated 2007 Swiss incursion into Liechtenstein, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that 2007 Swiss incursion into Liechtenstein satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 Swiss incursion into Liechtenstein and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of 2007 Swiss incursion into Liechtenstein during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Sandstein 06:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heim theory AFD

If there's a prior AFD for an article, you have to name the second AFD something slightly different the second time around or you accidentally include the first one. Another admin fixed it before I could, but just so you know in the future... Georgewilliamherbert 21:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:RoseSeal.gif

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:RoseSeal.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith

Hi Chairboy. As a bit of advice from some random guy on the internet (so take it for what you will), it would be better if you assumed good faith, not just on article edits but also on processes like uploading images. I've been here for years, and I haven't usually put fair use rationales on fair use images. It hardly seemed necessary, since the specific fair use templates provided more than enough rationale for the specific articles to which they apply. Now that there is a drive for specificity (which I don't think everyone yet understands, let alone agrees with), a lot of people are being caught off guard. Please stop threatening people with banishment, when most people really have no idea that they have done anything to offend a process. Cmprince 13:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! I assume good faith with each and every edit, which is why I so strongly urge the folks I've been speaking with Re: their improper utilization of fair-use rationales to familiarize themselves with the policy. Wikipedia is put in danger every time media is pushed up with a bad fair-use tag, both legally (because of the wacky copyright laws) and ethically (because of how it flies in the face of our charter to be a FREE encyclopedia). You don't appear to be aware of the fact that fair-use rationales cannot be machine generated/templated, that there _must_ be a specific rationale for each use. I strongly urge you to familiarize yourself with the applicable policies immediately, and I thank you for your time. If there's anything else I can do to help you avoid endangering the project, please let me know. We're all in this together, and we all have a responsibility to do our part to keep Wikipedia safe. I hope you'll join me. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Morrison

Hey, Could you please keep an eye on this page please, i will try my best to help, as someone keeps changing info, the reason is MM is trying to get a US album release & wants the last album & three singles info deleted. Thank You.

Dated: 28-09-07; In "good faith" can you leave the Wikipedia page, as you are potentially causing internal problems. There are no legal disputes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MLFAM98 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I find it bizarre that anyone could think of deleting that page, as its completely obvious the notability of this individual. Thanks for the save and heads up. -- Fuzheado | Talk 23:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

years and decades

Has there been a prior discussion of the deletion of these pages? If not, i decline to delete them. I pass no judgment about whether it is right or not to have them, just that I am not comfortable removing them without consensus. DGG (talk)
