My work here is done

Aye, I've been dodging the conclusion for months. Tweaking the PrisonPlanet.com people kept me in the game, but I can't avoid it anymore: There's just not much Wiki-violatin' vanity-conspiracy-spamology left to delete! I leave it to you all to monitor for the time being -- I'm going on an indefinite Wikibreak, and moving on to more productive enterprises. See you all at the Grove! Cheers to all of you, on both sides of the rabbit hole -- it's been a real pleasure. Call me on the Bat Phone if anything comes up. MortonDevonshire Yo · 19:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sad to see you go. You take care man! It has been an interesting venture with you here. Peace to you good friend. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 19:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've done work to be proud of. Take care, Tom Harrison ^Talk 01:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you can be productive. Mujinga (talk) 00:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're famous dude!--Cantsi Wontsi (talk) 01:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Morton! What have you been up to? Been keeping up with the Joneses? SkeenaR (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You go, I'm back. Have fun in the Grove. Say hi to Hilary for me. ;)

But seriously, I wonder what really keeps you ticking. Do you really believe you did the right thing?  Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (talk) 19:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In case you ever eventually read this: I didn't know you at the time but you seem to have been doing awesome work. I also borrowed and adapted (and adopted) one of your user boxes, then created another one inspired from material on one of your pages. Who knows, maybe other people will also use them in your memory. I hope you're doing well, —Paleo Neonate – 11:22, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The mice have grown bold.

Yes, it's happening again. Eternal vigilance is needed!

It's dire, Morton. Most dire.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 20:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take Two: Request for change in consensus

Take Two: Request for change in consensus. Change title to "Franklin Child Abuse Allegations"

"A small group of editors can reach a consensual decision, but when the article gains wider attention, others may then disagree. The original group should not block further change on grounds that they already have made a decision. No one person, and no (limited) group of people, can unilaterally declare that community consensus has changed, or that it is fixed and determined."

The existing title "Franklin Coverup Hoax" is, in the opinion of many who have commented (Gyrofrog, Awfultin, Wayne, Tom1976, Conexion, Apostle 12), fatally biased. To start out saying that the subject material is a "hoax" is indefensible, especially when that point of view is hardly universal. A specially called county grand jury used the word "hoax;" that is all. And there is ample reason to believe that those who comprised the jury had a vested interest in protecting local people.

In the previous section, various editors commented on their support for, or opposition to, a name change to "Franklin Coverup Incident." Those who commented over the space of several days included Sherurcij, PopeFauveXXIII, Wayne, Orange Mike, Apostle12, and Rosicrucian.

Orange Mike came up with a suggestion: How about "Franklin Child Abuse Allegations"? Neutral, takes no position regarding "hoax" or "coverup" claims.

I support this newly proposed title change and am asking for additional comments at this time from concerned editors. Apostle12 (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Purple punch.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Purple punch.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. J Milburn (talk) 17:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Can you hear me now.png or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File source problem with File:Blood hound missile.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Blood hound missile.jpg. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 09:55, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
