[edit] Image:Johansson good company.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Johansson good company.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Yamla 20:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Shannernanner 04:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Civility

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Shannernanner 07:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The discussion Shannernanner is referring to is in Talk:Milo Ventimiglia. There is nothing there that was meant to be a personal attack, but when someone keeps repeating they're right in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary I think you need to ask whether they are capable of admitting they are wrong, no offense was intended. You can see on his talk page he is a bit sensitive to criticism and has a generic template he commonly uses to leave this complaint. -Bansal 07:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
As a matter of fact, I left it in reference to your comment on Template talk:Infobox Actor. Your generalizations and assumptions about me are not correct. Shannernanner 07:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
That comment wasn't even directed at you... -Bansal 08:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
As I said, a comment does not have to be directed at me in order to be uncivil. Shannernanner 08:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I find your generic template response with no discussion or explanation to be uncivil as well -Bansal 08:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I replied to this statement on my own talk page; perhaps we could confine this here instead of switching back and forth. As to your request for the reason for the template, which I thought from your previous comments you had understood, it was because of your comment that saying that "people should compute the age in their heads" was "snobbery." Shannernanner 08:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed to confine any further discussion to your page. You should note that the person responded to my comment and did not find it offensive, responding in the original forum would've been the appropriate response in this case. This comment was part of a constructive discussion, disagreeing with someone does not make them uncivil. -Bansal 15:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop assuming that I left the template because I am "upset" that you disagreed with me or anyone else. That is untrue. Shannernanner 18:04, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pam Anderson

I noted some vandalism at the article and edited it, encountering an edit conflict with you. Accordingly, I saved my edits, and then pasted them in, in a second attempt. They indluded several phrasing improvments and improved English use. Yo have reverted the lot, climing vandalism. Not the csas.e Can you explain? 67.86.174.12 18:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

You added TATS!! which appeared to be vandalism, and also reverted the correction I made to the birth date. I would suggest editing my last revision if you want to make any changes. Thanks. -Bansal 18:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I didn't add 'TATS' at all. I wasn't sure what was meant and so left it. Check the history. You're correct that i overwrote your birth data correction, but my edits were extensive and scattered over all sections up to 'personal life' -- I got a little carried away cleaning up the language and kept going beyond the vandalism correct of her dick implant. Again, see the history. In the interest of saving time, I suggest we resotre my large edit, and then delete TATS and add the birth data correction. 67.86.174.12 18:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC) just noticed I'd been logged out. sorry, ww 18:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok I only looked at your revision. That sounds fine to me. -Bansal 19:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canceled/Cancelled

No problems here --- I just want to address something with you very minor so you know that I indeed know how to spell the past-tense form of the word "cancel" per your minor edit at Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Merriam-Webster says I can use either "canceled" (a single "L") or "cancelled" (a double "L") and either way I'm correct. I know that the preferred American spelling may seem to be with a single "L", but either way is correct. It's not so British to use "LL" like a number of British spellings, like when they use "S" instead of "Z" like in "realised" versus "realized". I use double "L" by inertia because I guess I like the way it looks, I don't know, but on the other hand, I use "traveled" instead of the British variant of "travelled", but Merriam-Webster also says they are both correct on that word also. You have probably noticed a number of Wikipedia pages with traditional British spelling as I have and I generally leave them alone per WP:SPELLING and to let people see that this is a global forum with a worldwide view, which Wikipedia loves to expound and even has a template suggesting it when a article isn't very global. If you Google the two words, you get 2.5 times more hits with the double "L" --- I actually expected it to be the other way. If you'd like to respond, leave me a message on my Talk page.--Bamadude 18:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
