Hi there! I noticed you've been active lately with the articles for creation project. I wanted to invite you to our public IRC channel at #wikipedia-afc. In there, we field questions from IP submitters and reviewers can help each other out with reviews. Hope you can join! Thanks! GrooveDog ( talk) 02:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for making this edit. I am very opposed to having these early photographs interpreted in this way and would like you to read this discussion before continuing to honor similar requests at Commons. Thank you. Sswonk ( talk) 20:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I just saw the link to the gallery there. I saw that the Niagara Falls article had a tag saying that it had too many pictures that's why I moved some of them to a new place. But you are right, a media commons gallery is more appropriate. I'll check if all the pictures are there so that they are not lost after the deletion of the Niagara Falls Pictures page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin.vp ( talk • contribs) 13:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Regarding your help on the almost empty initial page. (Please see below.) I didn't see your second note until after placing the full content on the article page. That did not stop the deletion. Now there is only a template to Wiktionary. What is the procedure now? Thank you, PSY7 ( talk) 16:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Make the edit and add ahangon tag, explaining here that the article has been modified since the speedy deletion nomination was made.∙ AJCham ᵀᴬᴸᴷ 23:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)- Sorry, I've just realised I misunderstood your question. It seems you're saying that you intend to edit the article tomorrow, and wish for it not to be deleted in the meantime, is that correct? If so, that's not really a valid reason for contesting the speedy deletion. If it is deleted before you edit it you can just recreate the article with the appropriate content when you are ready. There is no real reason to place a temporary holding page without any content. ∙ AJCham ᵀᴬᴸᴷ 23:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)"''

Hi AJCham,
I note that you requested that this article be deleted under the blatant advertising criteria. This article does not fall into this category for a number of reasons. This is an EU INTERREG sponsored programme that does not and will not seek to sell or otherwise gain financial reward from any source, either the general public or those people/businesses directly involved with the programme. In fact the programme provides funding for training programmes etc to participants.
In addition, there is no "product" on offer - it is simply a programme to encourage businesses to work together with the aim of establishing sustainable, quality tourism related businesses based on a sense of place in the the areas covered by the 9 partners involved in the project.
COLLABOR8 is a concept and the purpose of the article is to highlight the fact that the EU programme exists and to encourage people who are interested to seek more information on it and its aims. The programme has its own website www.collabor8.me and receives extensive coverage on the Interreg website.
As I am a new user of the site I would appreciate any help and assistance you can offer to ensure that this article can comply fully with the sites conditions. SeandeB ( talk) 13:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Halliburton PR ( talk) 19:39, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello AJCham! I have another question for you :) I remember you've suggested during our IRC conversation that I can contact the WikiProjects at the top of the article page. I've just posted some new suggested edits on the discussion page with more credible resources this time (according to all of your guidance) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Halliburton#Company_Profile_and_Other_Information_-_to_be_updated ... so what is the procedure to contact the WikiProjects folks? Do I contact anyone from the history editorial on the WikiProjects Companies: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Companies&action=history - is it what I need to do?
Thanks again for your help! Hope you had a wondrful week end!

Hello. You recently added stub templates to Neville Neil yet the assessment on the talk page shows it as Start class. How do we resolve the discrepancy? -Arb. ( talk) 20:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm grateful to you for your research - indeed, that is where I got the concept from. The Peter Principle is very widely quoted and highly influential. Even though the work was somewhat tongue in cheek, it was nowhere near a hoax - it was a genuine study of bureaucracy by a cynic and humorist. The term 'tabulology' appears to originate in his work. Other authors have certainly studied table arrangement and so on but have not done it under this term. I've recreated the article as a redirect. - Richard Cavell ( talk) 08:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I changed the wording significantly, so it is not covered by their copyright. Notice no sentence is the same.
But I see your point that it is very similar. So even if it is covered by the copyright, I can substantiate my submission because I know the copyright holder of http://www.machlispresents.org/, and have their permission to use that text. How can I submit this proof of permission to you?
Edit: OK, I couldn't think of how I could get to you the copyright permission without e-mail, which I suppose you can claim is fake. So I just completely rewrote it. The text is now my own, which I wrote without even looking at the website you cited.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 56.0.163.16 ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 23 September 2009

That was nice of you to spend extra editorial minutes on the stub I submitted to make Helen Westcott a more useful article for wikipedia readers. In my opinion, this type of attention to detail, on articles written by others, is what will make wikipedia's team effort a success. -- 69.225.5.4 ( talk) 20:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC) |

Hi DoktorMandrake --
I am the contributor who added information to the "Fabulous Mr. Fox" entry, noting that the directory is under fire for signing the petition to free Roman Polanski.
I see from your edit work that you are a serious contributor and Wiki volunteer, and not a studio rep. Thank you for any guidence you may provide. This was my first post, and I hope I did it right technically. Here's what I wrote:
Two months prior to the film's release, Director Wes Anderson inserted himself into the "Free Roman Polanski" controversy, when he joined 137 other directors, actors and other film industry leaders who signed [2] a widely-circulated petition demanding that the 76-year old director and fugitive child rapist be released from Swiss custody, after his capture days earlier. In 1977, after his confession and a brief incarceration over the drugging, rape and sodomy of a 13-year old girl, Polanski fled the US. He had been living in Paris for 30 years, finally being arrested by the Swiss en route to an international award ceremony in Zurich, infuriating members of the international film community. A number of bloggers and columnists seized upon the resulting petition demanding Polanski's release as an example of what they believe to be an outrageous and twisted sense of entitlement and blatant acceptance of immorality shown by the artists. The petition was notable by its ironic inclusion of Woody Allen, who years earlier had endured scorn and controversy by marrying his 18-year old stepdaughter, and director Anderson, hoping for commercial success as he directs his first childrens' movie. Because of this, some bloggers have gone so far as to call for a boycott of the film, claiming Anderson is far too insensitive to Polanski's horrific crime to be rewarded commercially by parents and their children.
Doktor, this issue simply erupted in the news over the past 24 hours. It's not ranting; the contribution was factual, clearly written, topical, and supported by a solid base of global news, as cited in the reference I provided. Thus I am at a loss as to why you deleted it. Would you be so kind as to help me understand your rules, and the process you followed in taking this action?
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jax MN ( talk • contribs) 13:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
My revision WAS NOT in anyway an advert for any commercial site and was an attempt to provide viewers of the page a further reference to follow. The sites I listed are non profit making and are purely reference based, as there are already "adverts" on this wiki page pointing to the Scootdawg forum and the buggynews forum, are you going to be removing them also?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveatgy6 ( talk • contribs) 00:29, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Non-free content is not available where the engagement of the subject with CNBC is concerned which contributes more than anything else to notability. This why this particular image showing CNBC background is kosher.-- History Sleuth ( talk) 04:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I love Wikipedia, but it's very liberal. I inserted info about a book to "winter soldiers", and obviously you had no idea about the book before you reverted the change I made.

Thanks for your comments on the help desk. I'm a little confused; although I am most of the time. At present the raw code for my signature is <font face="Kristen ITC"> <font color="#FF6600">~~</font>[[User:Declan Davis#top|<span style="color:#006600;">Dr Dec</span>]] <font color="#009999">([[User talk:Declan Davis|Talk]])</font> <font color="#000099"> </font> <font color="#FF6600">~~</font> </font>, with the output ~~ Dr Dec ( Talk) ~~ . You mentioned something about using <span style="font-family:Serif; color:#006600;">'''this'''</span> instead of <font face="Serif" color="#006600">'''this'''</font>. Why is that? Wouldn't it make my signature too long if I were to change it in this way? Could you have a go at re-writing my signature using span style, etc, instead of font? I'd be most appreciative. I've tried but I get confused! ~~ Dr Dec ( Talk) ~~ 15:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

When doing historical research one is allowed to 'copy exactly' if one is only taking parts from the original source material. If one comes across colored words in the source text can these be added to the Wikipedia? For example: [The control wrote violently with abbreviations that Dorr was to fix anything that was wrong.] "Violently" is used here in the primary source. Can you copy the phrase exactly as shown by citing it in the wikipedia as: 'The control wrote violently with abbreviations that Dorr was to fix anything that was wrong.' <ref> Studies in Spiritism by Amy Tanner, Prometheus Books, 1994, Hall's introduction page 22</ref> So that the reader will know the word "violently" is NOT MY word or a puff word but Hall's word used in the primary source and therefore it is protected from deletion. Or must the phrase be written without color or puff as [ The control wrote with abbreviations that Dorr was to fix anything that was wrong] EXCLUDING the word "violently" Personally I think the word "violently" is a proper description about HOW the control wrote. Please reply soon. Kazuba ( talk) 18:52, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I am doubtful as to the subject's notability - I cannot find much coverage, and sources would be needed to establish if he is. If those can be found, please add them and also address the wording of the article, which is currently non-neutral. If these issues can be addressed, the submission can be reopened.
The following items have been addressed,
1) Sources Added. 2) Wording Corrected —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlizeeForever ( talk • contribs) 04:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Quite a few problems with this: 1) It was uploaded without a templated license. 2) The Permission stated "Permission = unlimited so long as original source is credited," which is unacceptable. 3) The source [1] provided has a very strong © non-release "The content (content being images, text, sound and video files, programs and scripts) of this website is copyright © sikhhockeyolympians. All rights expressly reserved." So, it fails pretty much all around... Skier Dude ( talk) 00:14, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
