Wikipedia Survey

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 23:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Signature

It's quite simple:

1. Create a subpage under your user page (mine is User:Jtrost/Signature) and on it put whatever you want your signature to be.
2. Click on "my preferences" at the top of any page and in the "user profile" tab insert {{SUBST:your signature's page}}, so mine is {{SUBST:User:Jtrost/Signature}}
3. Test it out somewhere and fine tune it. Most user's have their own sandbox. For example I have one at User:Jtrost/Sandbox.
   

I hope this helps. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 01:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Map of Mecca

I think you were the one who uploaded a Photoshopped version of a satellite map showing Mecca. You labelled it "Holy city of Mecca". That is POV. Can you remove the legend and just label the city Mecca, using the English name? If you don't, I'll have to remove the map. Zora 07:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Rose & Bernard

Hi. In the future could you please use the talk page to discuss changes such as creating new pages for characters and adding new links to the template before you actually do it? And a Rose & Bernard flashback has not been officiall confirmed anyway, so those changes you made are extremely speculative. Thanks. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 11:24, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

okay.. but I am talking about this week's episode, the one in "march sweeps" and it has been confirmed by ABC and givin all the info, the ones we are not sure about are the ones in the "may sweeps" including(Two for the Road, "?", Three Mintues and The Foundation part 1&2), so thats why I am not writing anything about them, I have enough info to add Two for the Road to the list but not "?" and futher so I didn't add them to the list. I didn't create a page for "The Foundation part 1&2" because the title is subject to change. anyways remmember how Locke in season one wasn't that important in the couple of episodes, I am not saying they will be as important, personally I don't think bernard and rose are gonna be important, anyways, we'll talk again after april 12 ok :P,,, peace --muhaidib-- (^Talk | _#info | ) 14:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

{{User:UBX/LOST}}

Hi Muhaidib, could you please let me know if the image you uploaded, Image:Lost no image.png, is created by you? You say it is, but have put the {{logo}} template on it. If you did not make the image, it is therefore copyrighted and must be removed from the template itself and included in some sort of article, or is may be deleted. Please let me know which is which. Thanks, Kilo-Lima|^(talk) 19:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

hmm,,, i guess that got out by mistake,, I didn't create it lol,, I fixed the thing,, its a kindda logo and promotional,, have you seen LOST? this is a still from the animation clip that you see before the episode starts, every one who sees lost know's it,, hope this helps :D

Template:User Simpsons Movie

Hi, it soen't really matter what it is. You can't use copyrighted images, which are tagged as fair-use outside of articles. Please see WP:FUC for details. Thanks. --Doc ^ask? 23:45, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Do not pull that stunt again. The image you uploadeded as PD was obviously identical to the 'fair use' copyrighted image. We take copyright seriously in wikipedia, and we block editors who put the project in legal danger. --Doc ^ask? 00:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Because I'm an idiot

That's my basic answer to why I haven't registered. I have an account (I think, it was long ago), but I just keep forgetting to log in

OK, there we go...not sure how to tag my name but whatever. Thanks for the heads up on registering User:Oodus^talk

Great, good luck. I'm a little busy these days so don't expect a lot from me. - Eagle^(talk) 19:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

List of Lost episodes

Greetings, it was a bit difficult translating Arabish to Arabic to English, but I think I got the main point. My first arguement would be questioning the List of The Simpsons episodes, List of 24 episodes, List of Seinfeld episodes, and even the List of South Park episodes (another user has already stirred that argument). Although the page may fail WP:FAN, I can't see why the other lists don't (if this one does). So they should either be all kept or all deleted. I am not familiar with the subject matter and therefore prefer not to interfere, but like I said, I can't see much difference, if any at all, between Lost and, say, 24; hence it makes no sense that one has a list and the other doesn't. - Eagle^(talk) 05:19, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Inappropriate (unencyclopaedic) captions on Lost summary photos

Hey. Saw your captions (e.g., "Looks like love is in the air") for S.O.S. (Lost). These strike me as completely unencyclopaedic, and represent exactly what some users have expressed in terms of concerns about fancruft creeping into the dozens of episode summaries that have now been created. I will be reverting those captions, but would like to request that you not insert any others like them. Your guide should be, "Would I see something like this in an encyclopedia?" Thanks. -- PKtm 20:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Removing people's comments on talk pages

Muhaidib, it's actually not appropriate for you to edit comments on talk pages that you disagree with, as you did with Talk:Lost (TV series). If you disagree with something someone has said, post your own reply/rebuttal, but you can't remove what they've said and then (erroneously) cite the Wikipedia POV policy as justification for doing so. Talk pages are (appropriately) riddled with POV statements; that's what they're there for. -- PKtm 21:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Results of the straw poll

Muhaidib, here we go again. It's not appropriate for you to take the sheer numbers (22 vs 12) of the straw poll on Lost and boldly decide that the result has been determined, and act accordingly. I think you can see, from the discussion, that we have anything but a consensus. Please refer to Wikipedia:Current surveys for guidelines on what a straw poll actually means. Specifically, (bolding added by me),

Surveys may be used as part of dispute resolution, or to solicit opinions before making significant changes. They can be useful in developing consensus when community opinion is not immediately obvious in normal discussion. For example, a survey may bring in opinions from people who agree with one position, but don't join the discussion because they don't feel they have anything original to add.

For ideas on designing a survey, see Wikipedia:Straw polls. The results of a survey are not binding, and may be subject to interpretation. A survey may sometimes be called a poll, and it may involve voting for different options, but it is not the same thing as an election. For information on elections related to Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Elections.

Opinion surveys should be used to determine whether a consensus exists, not to decide which side "wins". Successful surveys and polls can never generate consensus, they can only show an existing consensus, if any. Using a survey may be useful because some people who disagree will nevertheless recognize and accept the consensus opinion of the community

I have reverted your many edits (redirects of the season pages, etc.) -- PKtm 20:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

I've seen you working constantly around wikipedia, and I just wanted to thank you. I also see how certain people (whose names I'll leave out), constantly try to undermine your work (often by stooping so low as to insult your grammar instead of contributing to the discussions). I also wanted to say that I'm here to help defend you and your edits. So thanks for the hard work (even though I know you have exams now =]). ArgentiumOutlaw 06:19, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I am the one who should be thanking you, I seen what you where saying to the guys at the Talk:List of Lost episodes, thanks for standing up and every thing, it's true that I have exams but I can still do a couple of important edits a day --muhaidib-- (^Talk | _#info | ) 13:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

RE: Riyadhٌ

Hello. The reference given for the population contradicts the number in the article. A credible source is needed. Until then, the tag should be there. - Eagle^(talk) 22:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
