[edit] Sandbox heading

Hello, AlexanderTG, welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've been editing in the sandbox. That's great - the sandbox is an excellent area to practice your editing skills, but the heading at the top must not be removed.

The sandbox has a special header at the top {{Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)}}, which is an important notice to new users. Please do not remove this line. Do feel free to edit and type anything below the header on the page, though!

Also, although the sandbox is a practice area, edits in the sandbox must still conform to the good behavior rules that apply to the rest of Wikipedia. That means no behavior which is offensive or irritating to the majority of Wikipedia users. No insulting comments should ever be placed in the sandbox.

By the way, this is your user talk page where any other Wikipedia user can leave you messages. Happy editing! Thanks, Georgia guy 00:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yo

Hey, I was wondering about my user page. If anyone knows of anything I can do to spice it up, let me know --AlexanderTG 23:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question

Writing about people or things you know personally isn't usually a good idea. See WP:AUTO for information on autobiographies- not exactly what you asked about, but similar. In general, if you're making an article, make sure you use good sources, not just your own personal knowledge or opinions. Friday (talk) 21:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the eighth generation

on the talk page for the eighth gen. of vi. games you said it should be kept, "This page would be useful to keep until the systems actually come out. I think that Apple should definetly and probably will join the console biz" you should go to that articles page and vote for keep. just click here, hit edit and then vote for keep and give why you think it should be kept. thanks.

[edit] thanks

thanks for voting for keep. in a few month or years when i re-create the article and nominate it for deletion you'll be the first person i tell. anyway, a copy can be found on my user page. since my user page doesn't have to meet any wiki criteria that copy has extra speculation and possibilities that weren't on the copy that was just deleted. if you would care to help me expand it i would be greatly appreciative. just click here.

[edit] grammer

I almost always use proper English when i write articles. For messages like this one and on my user page i don't always capitalize

the beginning of sentences because i simply don't care enough. When i use Microsoft word i have it set up to do almost all my capitalizing for me. I only capitalize 'i' when it comes at the beginning of the sentence.

I copy my user boxes from other people's pages so i don't know how to edit them. If i'm on someone's user page and they have a user

box i think should also be on my page i go to 'edit this page' than i copy the one i like and past it on my own user page.

Most of the contradictions in Star Trek Enterprise can be explained. I think the producers simply made too many mistakes early on.

Like not using "Star Trek" in the title for the first two seasons. My two big complaints would be that they had an emotional Vulcan on board and that they tried to use sex to grab ratings. Other than that i enjoyed the show. But it is my least favorite. J.L.Main 18:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AlexanderTG/History of video game consoles (nineth generation)

A tag has been placed on AlexanderTG/History of video game consoles (nineth generation), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

• User pages for developing articles are fully allowed but their names must always begin with, in your case, "user:AlexanderTG/". -- RHaworth 21:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Randall-1-.JPG

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Randall-1-.JPG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Randall-1-.JPG is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Randall-1-.JPG itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
