On the talk:Rachel Marsden page user:Gordon Walsh claims to be the Managing Editor of the Toronto Sun. user: 70.25.152.39 whose identity is no secret to many of us, claims to have spoken to the real Gordon Walsh who denies ever posting to Wikipedia. Can you please take time out of your busy schedule and phone the Toronto Sun and find out whether this is correct? Thanks. -- Cyberboomer 23:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
If you are notable, why does this Google search for your name turn up no results? Please make your reply on my talk page. -- user:zanimum
Yeah, that's probably true. I dont know if anyone really likes what I've been doing or finds me amusing at all. It also helps when your friends hack onto Google on a regular basis. Freaks. -Woody
I have no idea how they do it. But anyway, I'm also pretty sure all of my subscribers are far from computer literate. Anyone who had a blog would never look to me for entertainment. By the way, how did you find my site? I'd be interested to know. -Woody
How much do you think i know about these people? They are mostly friends of my distant family. i have no idea about these ridiculous statistics you demand. And by the way, i was trying to stay polite and seem amused, and i hoped i would not be forced to go down to your level. But all the same, i find myself quickly discovering just the type of person you are. Are you one of theose guys who just hates people and tries as hard as he can to prove everything they say wrong? Are you a major cynic of the human race? Do you trust anyone and maybe every once in a while just go with what they say and keep living? i dont know. -Woody
Okay, whatever. I don't really get it, but I'm getting the feeling you're just trying to freak me out. Why did you change the heading on our conversation? Do you feel left-out by being labelled as a cynic? The moral of the story here is to treat people more kindly in the future and give humanity the respect it deserves. -Woody
I do treat Wikipedia with respect. I have created two wonderful pages for Ed Deacy and Live Like You Were Dying as well as helped out the band user:Bombs Away with their own page. I can tell that you are just content on trying to prove me wrong and evil, no matter what the real facts say. That's why you got labelled as a "cynic". But enough about me, this is really about you. I understand you perfectly, you're angry about something else and you want someone different to take it out on. We all get these feelings sometimes, but we need to learn to control them. What happened? Was it a death? A break-up? If you need help I can recommend some great doctors near my hometown. I represent humanity to you. This isn't me. This is about something far more general.
p.s.-I hope you're not that woman, because on your site it says a man's name. If you're confused about where your life is taking you, that's okay, let it out. Personally, I suspect that you made some kind of a lie somewhere in there. Too bad.
Okay, okay. For starters, "Debate Over Sourcing" is pretty much the lamest name I think I've ever heard. I am NOT debataing. I'm trying to help a person who doesn't want help, trying to be a friend for someone who needs a friend. I am NOT arguing. I'm adding. I'm trying my best to stay polite. I know you're a very angry person who is looking for an excuse to get mad at me, and I see that you are frustrated that I refuse to give you that excuse. I can be a stubborn man, and I am most certainly going to be as stubborn as I can for the sake of peace. I refuse to argue over something we can easily argree on.
Next item. Those pages? They were excellent. Just because they were not formatted the way you would have doesn't mean it was incorrect. However, I appreciate the help you have offered in improving the "articles" of things I am interested in. Are you a fan of Tim or Ed? If not, it seems as though by making an article you find unsuitable I have tricked you into checking out things I'm a fan of. Through your hostility, I have forced you to write articles about Ed Deacy and Tim McGraw! Wow! Maybe I should make more articles you don't like.
I noticed that although you were glad to help with Deacy and McGraw, you didn;t improve on the user:Bombs Away "article". Let's be friends. Maybe you can help Bombs Away get its big break.
Woody.
In case you didn't get my email; I would be honoured to be interviewed; if you need me to pass on my current phone number to the Mercury; let me know and I'll pass it along via email. -- Andy Saunders 21:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pr double bubble measure.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{ GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 23:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello. When I created an article about a new Finnish magazine V, I saw that you had already created a link to it from Emily Strange back in March 2005. Because the Finnish V has only just started, this can't refer to the same magazine. So I want to ask you for more information about the V magazine that the Emily Strange article refers to.

Thanks for uploading Image:Title_Cuisine.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Thanks for your edits on Tom Lantos. As you seem to be an active and well regarded person in the Wikipedia community, I'd be grateful for your advice on the article. Another user insists on inserting material I believe is both irrelevant and written to reflect negatively on Congressman Lantos, which I have, in the past, removed and replaced with less specific information that I consider less prejudiced against the Congressman. It seems pointless to continue to change the article back and forth--how would you suggest that I resolve the situation? 68.33.74.123 02:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Nicholas. I just noticed that you speedy deleted ABSL. May I ask what were your reasons for the deletion? It is definitly not a hoax (as one editor thought) I think an articleI'm don't agree that this should have been deleted. Would you object if I undeleted it. If you still think it should be deleted then it can be sent to AfD. What do you think? Paul August ☎ 21:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering about your comments at User:Jimbo_Wales..you said Jimbo is not Christian? Do you then know if he participates in any religion? Thanks. CrazyInSane 22:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
(and yeah, I know you know - but you don't often seem to leave any, if ever...)
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Hi Nicholas, I'm just dropping you a note to say that I've undeleted Steve Strange, which you speedied last month. Although the content at the time was nonsense (I didn't restore that part), it had overwritten a legitimate article. Have a good weekend. Leith p 13:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but I've been reading alot of your posts and I've noticed the absence of a date & time stamp when you post. I suggest you use four tildas (~~~~) to sign your posts to include the date and time—it can be frustrating to have to check the page history to see when someone posted an edit.

Hi. Since you seem to upload a lot of fair use images, I'd like to remind you that the Fair use page on wikipedia says that it is not fair use to use "an image of a rose, cropped from an image of a record album jacket, used to illustrate an article on roses." Some of the images you uploaded were being used in this way, so I've removed them from the articles. Matt 06:24, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I need some admin assistance. Thanks!
I am cleaning up mythology pages, and creating some consistency (upon careful study of the Perseus encyclopedia) in the nomenclature of minor deities and whatnot. I was working on Electra, and I wanted to move her page to a more correct parenthetical title: Electra (Pleiad). Capital P being a proper noun and Pleiad being the correct singular noun. I was creating a Sterope (Pleiad) page and ended up stumbling upon Electra, so I thought I would fix both at the same time. Now I know how to move pages, but this one needs help.
I already moved all the links from Electra (pleiade) to Electra (Pleiad), using the "what links here" page, all links other than a user page talk, which will be redirected anyhow.
Thanks! -- gio 08:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to talk to people who helped contribute to earlier proposals for a Wikimedia seed wiki (by whatever name), and your name is in the list of contributors to m:Wikilabs.
I understand that you are very busy, but this is a proposal that has been languishing on Meta and elsewhere for many, many, many months (years?). I've decided to restart the proposal, give it a little more "flesh" by turning it into a serious proposal, and try to get it up to the state where it might be ready for a formal vote by Wikimedia users.
Any thoughts or comments on this proposal would be significantly appreciated. Thank you for your time in this and all of the volunteer service you provide to Wikimedia projects. -- Robert Horning 10:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear Zanimum, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the actions of User:Anglokurisu, who created UKSPI which you voted to delete on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UKSPI. I feel that an administrator should look at the issue, as I do not wish to be the only user commenting on his/her conduct. To date this user has added anonymous votes to the above-mentioned page and spammed several pages with links to the same organisation. I know that this user has added false votes as he/she admitted correcting a link on UKSPI, this link was fixed by IP:172.216.253.2 which is the same IP that made an anonymous vote to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UKSPI page. All the votes that were added anonymously were also Do not delete votes, written with a characteristic broken English, clearly showing they were added by the same person. I removed these votes from the page saying all votes should be made by registered users on a one vote per user basis. After I made this addition a new user appeared called User:Evenstarbabe and added a vote with the same style i.e. Do not delete. This is obviously a sockpuppet of User:Anglokurisu. If you could look into the IP information of this user and generally assist in this matter I would be very grateful. I feel that this user should now be blocked as he/she has consistently tried to abuse Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Thanks - Solar 15:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
The content you added needs some sources, especially for the big claims (eg, that the board issued no orders to Ward). I found a bunch of old stories in their archives which agree with what you've said, but nothing about the Board saying that they told the newspaper ahead of time that nothing was wrong, or that they told Ward that his company did nothing wrong, etc. — 0918 BRIAN • 2006-03-25 17:18

Hi! Thanks for dropping in. The pms press contact is going to be me, as I am in charge of all the english and russian PR interface. We'll soon state different users for interfacing with german, spanish and french speakers. BTW, the direct link to my pms page is going to expire soon, since we are almost finished with the interface tranlastion, if the link gets broken just use the stable version, that will be working on the piedmontese interface. In the final main page version there will be a english space on the first page, pointing foreign users to a press/embassy area, from where they'll be able to reach all contacts directly. In the meantime we can use this.
IMPORTANT: in the next months I shall myself be writing an article for an italian newspaper about wiki editions in non-govt languages.

Following your post in the Tetum WP talk page, asking for an official press contact for the language, I would like to offer myself for this job, as I've been leading the process of creating a Tetum WP since the very beginning. The problem is that my knowledge of the language itself is pretty limited, e.g. it would not be possible for me to answer an interview in Tetum.
Since the creation of the Tetum WP testpage, I've been trying to get Timorese to join in (e.g., sending messages to several Timorese discussion groups, etc.) but, so far, with very limited success.
If it is important to have someone as press contact, and you think it is feasible, for the time being, I can be the "temporary official press contact" and would give up the job, as soon as we could find a native speaker that could do it.

If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 13:44, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Nicholas, I have entered some info on press contacts. In your requests, and in the introduction of User:Zanimum/Press, could you please add something on purpose and mandate of the request? Thanks. -- Eddi ( Talk) 20:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Could you please state the purpose and mandate of your request for press contacts? Volunteers are being rallied for something they don't know what is. And, although not intentional, this seems to be outside the normal selection procedures for trusted positions in the local wikipedias. Many wikis have already appointed press contacts by community approval, and those should be used here. If some wikis don't have press contacts, they should also be selected locally. Thank you for your consideration. -- Eddi ( Talk) 13:41, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Nicholas, I believe your press contact initiative is good and I would like to see it work out. However, I think it would benefit from stating the purpose and mandate in each request, plus central places like here, here, and here. -- Eddi ( Talk) 00:34, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
I know absolutely nothing about the subject and had never heard of her until the dispute erupted.
I can find no satisfactory independent verification that Midori is Jody Watley's sister. I checked many American news indexes going back to 1980 and found only two possible citations, neither of which is conclusive. One of them, oddly, is Playboy. I am very surprised that several reputable news service providers index Playboy. I guess this means some people do read the magazine for the articles. Here is an excerpt: "The album features tracks by Ginger Lynn, Hypatia Lee, Suzi Suzuki and Midori (who is the younger sister of pop diva and Playboy model Jody Watley), among others." No Byline. "Cock rock." Playboy. May 1, 1999, no page number. 157 words. A Columbus Dispatch article repeats the allegation, but without verification. No Byline. "Kid Rock Aims for Elvis-Level Fame in Beloved Genre". The Columbus Dispatch, March 18 1999, no page number. 872 words. The VH1 link claims that Jodi Watley and presumably her sister were born in Chicago but grew up in Los Angeles. Midori's bio claims that she was born in North Carolina.
Is it possible that there are two people named Jody/Jodi Watley? I think the dual spelling of the first name might be relevant. The Wikipedia bio makes no mention of a Playboy appearance, but there seems to be possible substantiation that there is also a Playboy model with the same name.
I hope I'm not stepping on your toes.
Please feel free to continue the discussion on your talk page. I know enough to check here. -- Cyberboomer 21:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Will you please referee the dispute at Talk:Judi_McLeod#Frank I honestly don't understand where SlimVirgin is coming from. If you think she's right, then please say so. I won't be offended.
I can't understand how anybody can edit pages without reading the cited articles.
With all due respect to her, I do have some concerns about her credibility when she posts edit summaries like these:
She claims that Pamela Anderson once appeared in an ad about fur, but who has worn and advertised fur since then. the incident is well known and the animal-rights movement is disgusted by her. [5]
For what it's worth I checked indexes and found no verification to support SlimVirgin's accusations. I did find many citations proving that PA is an animal rights activist, though.
I can only imagine Anderson's reaction if she ever finds out.-- Cyberboomer 00:32, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
...for your clean up of the Banners and buttons ugliness :-) For the layout you might want to take a look at german page, some of the images in the english version are rather small in gallery tags. There's some stuff lying around at meta:Ads as well... -- Elian Talk 15:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. You protected this about 10 days ago. Since WP:SEMI is for dealing with serious, current vandals, I figure it's been more than long enough to unprotect it now. Can I ask you to check your other recent protections and lift them as necessary, also to remember protections in general? CAT:SEMI is (actually, was) nearly 100 items, most of them seem to have been forgotten by the protecting admin. Thanks. - Splash talk 22:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Thankt for droping in ( [6]) I've got some questions about it. What shall that person to do? Write an articles in Polish Wikinews or other press services? Or translate news to english?

Sorry -- I uploaded a lot of images before I understood Wikipedia's image policy and the importance of respecting copyright law. Now I get a message every month asking me to justify a classification, when I really don't think it should be justified. I don't upload images any more. ZephyrAnycon 21:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I just returned from easter vacation and found out, that user Nolanus became (?) press contact. Well as soon as I understand the topic, press contact should be primarily a person trusted by community. On this point I have to say Nolanus is not the appropriate on this job. From people I asked nobody knew about his application for press contact, nobody from them (nor me) said him support and I take the risk to say he would have no chance for support by whole community.
On the other hand, the second person, Mormegil, is perfect.
I'd like to ask you, if there is any way to withdraw Nolanus by expressing the oppose opinion of community. If you prefer to have more contacts, I can be, as administrator of Czech Wikipedia, the the press contact instead. In case of need I can ask for support of the community.
If you have any question, feel free to contact me either on english or czech account. Sincerely cs:User:Zirland -- Zirland 19:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Why are you encouraging this impersonator on Wiki? User juliannarosemauriello is not the real Julianna Rose Mauriello!!! If you want to check call her agent Nancy Carlson at 212.307.1882 and ask!
And why was the entry for the Newburgh Swim Sharks removed without going through the proper removal procedures?
Why are records of the Julianna posers changes being deleted? Even if this really was her, do celebrities get special privlidges on wikipedia? Birdflu2006 02:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
So its okay to impersonate someone just if Wikipedia thinks they are acting properly? And I dont think "everyone" was acting improperly. The photo that is still up on her page is not cleared by copyright. And just so you know one admin finally caught on and banned the username. Maybe this is because he also noticed that on April 22 the user claiming to be the real Julianna was posting up a storm on the same day she was in New York attending the Daytime Emmys?

Hello,
Just giving you the feedback that I have received your notice about (still) being listed as press contact, and yes, I still function. :-) I personally answer some of the requests and forward the others to responsible editors. Just got a request to talk about Wikipedia's history on a conference (Web 2.0, which is some pretty stupid way to tell "people finally got involved", but still true), and sometimes newspeople ask for data or explanations.
I cannot promise press releases though. I asked fellow editors a few times, and got help, but people usually likeediting more than tendering PR. :-) I'll keep in mind to keep you foreigners :) up to date.
Cheers! -- grin ✎ 21:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Just a friendly reminder that meta:IWWC2 started a couple days ago, and you're loosing jokers fast. (have 1 left). Happy editing. Bawolff 14:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
And right now, I'm giving you the same advice:
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- Slgrandson 23:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
