I see you have included Gerald Chapman (director) in this list. I sourced most of the information about his early life and the circumstances of his death from his brother's published diary which is listed under References. It is clearly stated that the cause of his death was AIDS.
Entry for Friday, 8 November, 1996
And yesterday was the birthday of my brother Gerald, who died nine years ago of Aids. He would have been forty-seven and I still miss him terribly. Jud 20:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Could you please stop editing articles that i create or add significantly to, i know that you think you have the right to change everything to the way you want, but please have some consideration for the person who spent time editing an article and then you come up and just change everything.
That would be appreciated. thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bradles 01 ( talk • contribs). 21:24, 10 January 2007
I know I haven't edited the page since some days (I would have if I could, it was not my fault), but it is still inuse. It cannot be used, I don't think Urticaceae are divided in Alloideae, Youroideae, Baseoideae, Areoideae, Belongoideae, Tooideae, and Usoideae. I know I shouldn't make silly edits (this makes me a vandal), but I wanted to test if somebody would notice it until I was editing the page (I'm not a real vandal, I'm serious about botany, I wrote Ranunculaceae, Geraniaceae, Cannabaceae and others). Aelwyn 21:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
That should indeed be possible, I'll have a rummage around for the SQL I used for that, and once the two long-running jobs I currently have on the go (that are probably forcing each other to thrash) have completed... I probably won't use them to populate the "previously categorised" category, since that seemed to cause more grief than it helped any. Alai 16:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Hrm, that's a little arcane: it was categorised in the Nov. db dump, and is definitely not in the January one (I just run a query to check). And it hasn't even been edited in the meantime, much less uncategorised, as you say. I've no idea why that would have happened, though it may be related to this discussion. Why this happens for 'ordinary' categories I have nio idea: one for the devs, perhaps. Alai 08:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I was patrolling the recent changes on the copyright violations, and I came across SapgoBI. When you tag a page for deletion, don't forget to tag the redirection that led to it too :). That's why I always put a link to the pages I take care of in my edit summaries. If the page is still blue after a couple hours, I suspect there is something wrong (either a redirection, or a tag removal). I hope that helps! :) -- lucasbfr talk 16:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
The person named Sean Martin who is editing the Stephanie Adams page article has a bizarre personal vendetta agains Adams (the subject matter) via amateur blogs and (even though he does not know her personally) he should be banned from editing.
Adams is suing a friend of his named Jim Poling and as a result, he is trying to vandalize the page about her. Wikipedia is an objective online source, so people who have personal issues should not be allowed to make personal changes.

Once again, user Sean D Martin has been vandalizing the article on Stephanie Adams, due to a personal problem he has against her. You can see he has personal issues when you google him along with her name. I and a few others have corrected his wrongdoings, but ask that someone bans him from editing the article on Stephanie Adams again. Thanks.

The person named Sean D Martin is me. I have not been vandalizing anything. I has no vendetta against Ms Adams despite her having (to name just one offence) sent me emails threatening me with physical harm. (Ms Adams may choose to deny it. I'll happily provide the email, as I once did for a package of materials sent to the FBI.) All edits I have made have been to more accurately represnet information. None of tehm have insulted Ms Adams or damaged her reputation in any way. All revertions of my edits have been to something less accurate and more self-serving of Ms Adams.
I am not a friend of James Poling and has never met James Poling. I did provide an affadavit for Mr Poling in connection with the baseless lawsuit Ms Adams has filed against him. I am upfront about this. An approach the Ms Adams (who is known to post numerous anonymous messages while claiming they are not from her) seems incapable of following.
If I wanted, I could censor her and remove her comments about me. I could provide numerous examples of her doing all of what I have just claimed. But I do not have a vendetta against Ms Adams (Vice versa, in fact) and this is not the place to get into a she-said-he-said (although I can back up all that I said, which she cannot).
Drop it, Ms Adams. Stop trying to libel me on the web. Sean Martin 21:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Garion96, thanks for the clarification and help. As a new user here it is much appreciated. Not sure why this got started on your Talk either, just trying to reply to the (numerous) postings getting made about me and assumed it isn't acceptable form to just remove this whole section from your Talk. Sean Martin 23:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Clearly Sean Martin's bitter reply to the allegations against him prove that he has a direct COI (conflict of interest) with the Stephanie Adams article and should be banned from editing the subject matter. Personal threats ("Drop it, Ms Adams."), unuseful comments about a lawsuit she filed ("baseless lawsuit Ms Adams has filed") and insinuations about the person in the article ("Ms Adams who is known to post numerous anonymous messages while claiming they are not from her") which cannot be proven and are in fact false (I'm not "Ms Adams") is sheer proof. If that's not enough, he removed important information from the article, distorting it to discredit the facts, and even referred to a generic article as being "self-serving for Ms Adams". Please tell User Sean Martin to stop removing valuable facts from the Stephanie Adams article and stop causing unnecessary trouble. Wikipedia is not an amateur blog, it is a reliable source for information. 66.108.144.31 04:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
The previous comment posted by Sean D Martin "Drop it, Ms Adams. Stop trying to libel me on the web." is definitely a threat and shows a conflict of interest because User Sean D Martin seems to be imagining that "Ms Adams" and "SA" is corresponding with him. This is not a personal blog to air ones fantasies of speaking to a celebrity or unjustified bitter feelings towards that celebrity. The bottom line is that Sean D Martin should be banned from editing. Mediation has already been requested by another party named Cle0patr4 and I have already signed to it. 69.203.12.73 19:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Being that I and several other editors have requested for Sean Martin to be banned from editing the Stephanie Adams article (Hoary seems to be causing problems too and appears to have been told by Jim Wales to refrain from editing the article as well), can you please resolve this matter for us? Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.144.31 ( talk • contribs). 05:58, 7 February 2007
On the contrary, we are all objective people and we all have faults with your edits. You are the only person not being objective because you and your associate (Jim Poling) seem to want to cause some of hate campaign against Stephanie Adams who does not even know either one of you. This is not a personal space to air one's differences on the subject matter. Besides, blatantly changing/editing other people's facts (as well as distorting the truth) contained in a few sentences is not encouraged by Wikipedia. [ [4]] That is why several people have requested Sean D Martin be blocked from editing the article. We are asking Garion96 to please help regarding this matter. 69.203.12.73 19:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Please discuss the issues you have about the article, not about each other on Talk:Stephanie Adams. If there still is no solution there, you can request mediation. Not about the banning of each other, which is why the mediation was rejected, but to come to an agreement about the article. I have the article and therefore the corresponding talk page on my watchlist. Garion96 (talk) 20:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
The trials of my patience will never cease, my deepest apologies. The entry was made by middle school student while the class was overseen by a substitute. Following a brief investigation the child that edited the entry "Erik the Red" has been dealt with. Online vandalism of any sort is seriously frowned upon, thankyou for you messages.

I noticed that you reverted User: Netscott's edits on Lee J. Cobb, because he is pointless reverting an anonymous ip's edits, because he for some reason thinks that that IP address is a sockpuppet, even though there is no evidence of such, and all of the edits being made are good, non-vandalizing ones. Please review Netscott's user contributions and continue reverting his pointless reversions against good edits. I'd do it myself but my account is new and he'll probably flag me as a sockpuppet too, noting his aggressive behavior on sockpuppet accusations. Forthegood1 17:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I've asked User:Abebenjoe if it would be possible to post a written confirmation from Diane O'Reggio on the image's talk page to resolve the matter. Please be aware that if Diane O'Reggio has given him proper permission to post the image on Wikipedia, then it is not necessary for the website that the image was sourced from to explicitly include an additional reproduction permission; as the provincial secretary of the Ontario New Democratic Party, O'Reggio's personal consent to reproduction of images whose copyright is held by the party is entirely sufficient.

I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article List of Personality disorders, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hello, can you clarify this edit for me? My understanding of CSD G12 is that it applies to any image that is taken from a website with a license incompatible with Wikipedia (which appears to be the case here; the image is copyright Getty Images), and the uploader does not assert permission aside from tags (which again is the case here). I don't understand how mentioning the source means the image doesn't meet CSD G12. Can you help? -- Muchness 20:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hola, Garion96. Question on Juan Felipe Herrera page. You (or someone) has stated that it needs sourcing. Let's say the author is a close relative and I got the info from him. How would I source it? Thank you. Huicholo 03:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
--
Hello again Garion96. I read two of those pages. It seems that a "primary source" can be used, that is if the author—JFH, himself—were to give this info to me, wouldn't he be a primary source?
Here's my question, and I hope you get what I mean in the right spirit: Sadly, I dont have as much free time as I'd like. I would love JFH to have a page, because he certainly deserves it. Can you save me some time, since you have much more knowledge of Wikipedia already in your head, and tell me what you think I should do to make the article acceptable, given I am not the author, but have a close relationship to him? Is there a way to source it that would not be toooo time consuming, knowing what you do about the specifics? If when all is said and done, the page must be removed because I cannot track down every instance of verified fact on the page, that will have to happen. I don't mind spending some time on it, of course. But I'm worried I'd need to track down a load of degrees, award citations, etc.
Text can leave nuance out of the picture, so I hope you know I mean all this with care, and not rudely, as it could read. Thank you, Huicholo 19:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining the primary sourcing. and for your help. it is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am responding to the message concerning the Association of Art Museum Curators page which I created yesterday. I was told that the page was deleted due to copyright material copied directly from the site www.artcurators.org, but we ARE the Association of Art Museum Curators who wrote the material on the site www.artcurators.org and it is our organization indeed. Therefore, we hold the copyrights to the material and would like to post a page with our information (which yes will come directly from OUR VERY OWN SITE, www.artcurators.org). How do we apply for this page and accept the copyright laws? Please let us know, we would very much like to post our page. Also, we would like to be linked to the page on curators. How do we become a link on that page since we are the Association of Art Museum Curators? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aamc ( talk • contribs) 17:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
