RE: July 2009
[edit]If I was accusing you of vandalism I would have left you a warning on your talk page. I'm not shy about doing that. However, you have repeatedly reverted changes that removed vandalism that were initially put in place by FreedomFighter112290. That could be considered vandalism, I suppose. See this edit that the vandal had done, inserting information about homosexuality, pot-smoking, etc. and these edits from yourself that do pretty much the same. How could you call one vandalism but not the other? I'm assuming good faith here and not making straight accusations but it is borderline. -- Atamachat 21:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I understand that there was a personal conflict between yourself and Dabizi, and that you both weren't civil with each other. I'm going to see what reliable information I can find about the film so that the article is edited with good sources and is verifiable, which is very important to Wikipedia in general. -- Atamachat 21:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Joining a Wikiproject is very easy. Basically they are just areas of interest for editors, they're very informal and only exist as places for people interested in certain topics to keep track of articles related to that topic. In the case of WP:CANN, you can declare your intention to join by editing the participants section and adding your name (just put your signature like you were adding a talk page comment). That way someone who wants to contact members of the project might get ahold of you. You can also add {{User WikiProject Cannabis}} to your user page, and that will let anyone looking at your page know that you're a member of the project. There's also a talk page for the project where you can participate in discussions about the project, and learn about and/or add information about articles to be worked on that are related to the project. Let me know if you have other questions, thanks! -- Atamachat 22:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject Cannabis
[edit]Welcome to WikiProject Cannabis! This is a brand new wikiproject, so we are currently looking for productive members to assist with improving the coverage of cannabis on wikipedia. Be sure to check out the project's main page as well as the corresponding talk page to learn about our goals and ideas. I always recommend adding the project page as well as the collaboration page to your watchlist so that you can remain updated with what is going on. Looking forward to your contributions to the project! --Another Believer (Talk) 22:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, I see you asked Atama about joining the project. You have successfully placed your name on our list of participants. If you still have questions about how the project operates, after having read the project page, talk page and subpages (such as the assessment page and collaboration page), feel free to let me know so I can help in any way possible. --Another Believer (Talk) 22:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sure thing! Be sure to keep an eye on what tasks the project is working on, but please keep in mind that your best contributions will be when you work on cannabis-related articles that interest YOU the most. I started this project last month after noticing there was no project directly related to cannabis, which includes legislation, culture, activism, chemical compounds, and so many other subjects. Hopefully more people will join so that we can get a lot done! Please keep in mind that while many members appear to be pro-cannabis, our goal is to remain neutral and simply improve the coverage of cannabis throughout wikipedia. Let me know if you have any other questions or comments. Welcome again! --Another Believer (Talk) 23:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- As far as I understand, you can privately (as we are now) communicate with other project members in whatever way you wish as long as it is appropriate and civil. But please keep in mind that the purpose of the project is to work together to improve wikipedia articles relating to cannabis--it is not a forum for chatting about cannabis. If you are simply looking to chat about cannabis, a chat room or online forum would be more appropriate. WikiProject Cannabis is an attempt to group together all articles relating to cannabis (see a full list here) and improve as many as possible. Ultimately, we are trying to increase awareness of cannabis, but in a neutral manner. Hope that makes sense. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- No outside users are influencing what I am saying. I am simply trying to stress that fact that wikipedia does not exist for chat. You are more than welcome to display that you are pro-cannabis on your profile page, but I was just trying to say that the project's goal is not to bias articles towards one side or another. For example, for the Effects of cannabis article, it might be our project's goal to upgrade the article from B-Class status to Good Article status. In doing so, we would want the article to contain as much appropriate information as possible--it would be a biased article if it only mention positive effects of cannabis, and ignored negative aspects of cannabis. See my point? When it comes to improving articles, our goal is to improve articles in a neutral manner. I wouldn't worry about it so much... just keep an eye on the project for a while to see how it works, and feel free to look at cannabis-related articles that interest you and improve them using reliable, third-party sources at your convenience. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:50, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Scientific studies are used throughout cannabis articles. However, I do not often concentrate on the chemical/science/effects side of cannabis use. I tend to focus on cannabis culture and legislation. Different group members have different interests, so you will have to see which articles interest you so that you can help improve them. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- More pop culture. Conducting research on ancient culture is not really my thing. I mostly prefer working on articles about cannabis legislation throughout the world, such as Cannabis in Oregon. Also, I enjoy updating templates and maps such as Template:Cannabis in the United States or File:Map-of-US-state-cannabis-laws.svg. If you are not sure how you want to help, I would recommend adding some articles to your watchlist that interest you and see how people work on those. Also, just keep monitoring the project pages to see what we are up to. Best wishes! --Another Believer (Talk) 00:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Noticeboard
[edit]You're welcome. I always try to treat everyone with respect if they're willing to communicate rationally, and I think most other editors on Wikipedia are like that too, I don't think I'm special at all. Unfortunately you will occasionally run into editors who are intentionally being disruptive, or who jump to conclusions regarding another person's edits, and that can leave a bad taste in your mouth regarding the whole project, but most people here are reasonable. Good luck with your new Wikiproject by the way! -- Atamachat 22:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Thors Battle Armor.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Thors Battle Armor.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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. IngerAlHaosului (talk) 10:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well i do agree the template leaves to be desired it is designated o be informative,but let me explain. A image(file) that is under a non-free license requires extra bit of information a fair use rationale with out witch the iimage is not permitted on wikipedia. So please add a proper non-free use rational, use Template:Non-free_use_rationale all but Other information are mandatory; Article,Source,Purpose are expectantly mandatory. See this file File:Thor-272.jpg as a example.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:X-FactorGenosha.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:X-FactorGenosha.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

RfC: Should a separate article on the dried flowers and leaves variant of the Cannabis plant be made?
[edit]Talk:Cannabis (drug)#RFC: Should the section about the dried whole-flower-and-leaf preparation have its own article? If you have the time, would you please analyse my request, as you interested in our Cannabis project. Do you think there should be a separate section for this topic? მაLiphradicusEpicusთე 21:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
