[edit] Adoption

You may have the honour :) or should I say - I may have the honour. Your userpage and talk page is hard to navigate through, should I view it in Firefox? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 21:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

In reply to what's wrong with your userpage: There is a large banner at the top of the screen saying Bluegoblin7 Talk, which blocked out the quick links to my user page, talk page, watchlist, preferences etc and the edit, discussion, history links aswell. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 22:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm using the Modern Skin. I'll view it logged out... Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 22:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah that's better, although it still blocks out the top half of from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 86.29.143.157 (talk) 22:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I've been talking with an IP regarding the edits made. The IP has said "I'm the only one who uses this computer if that's what you mean. The Internet is thru my college so I don't know if that affects it. I didn't make any disruptive edits so I'm sorry you think that." I was wonderig if you know about how to get a tag on the talk page for colleges or how to prove this is a college IP. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 00:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Already been handled. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 00:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

What happens with the adoption program? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 17:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. How do I get this onto here? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 19:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, you're a legend! Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 19:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I've added all the lessons that I should carry out under the adoption programme to my user page. I've started to look at the first section - Clean up patrol. I'm not sure where to start. It seems like such a big task. I don't suppose you could give me some guidance in my first clean up or maybe give me an article, which is easy to cleanup. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 21:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Do I get an award for graduating? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool! I've posted something in my sandbox, which I'm not sure if it contributes or not. Please can you take a look at it? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Class 450 diagram

Hi, just to let you know I have finaly finished my diagram of a South West Trains Class 350 Desiro. I will churning out other liveries soon, i hope you like it. And yess you can use it on your Train Spotting website as long as you credit it to me.

UNI^|SOUTH 10:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, you may also view all my other train diagrams here which includes my other Desiro images. If you want to livery it yourself please download it and blank it. As for Junes issue I think it should include a comments section so our members can comment on whether Boris would be as Ken as the Mayor of London! I also think it should a competition for the best London Transport photo. The winner will get their photo in the next months issue. UNI^|SOUTH 15:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock my school's IP!!!

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock of 213.177.251.166 lifted or expired. Request handled by:  Netsnipe  ►  10:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Er, what?

Could you please explain why your adopter reverted an edit in my sandbox? Additionally, while not absolutely necessary, I'd have appreciated it if you had asked me before copying this, as it's also a direct copy of mine, which, although I didn't write all the lessons, I spent over two hours coding those tables. It wasn't easy. GFDL or not, I'd have appreciated a request. You've not changed several things too. I'd have appreciated you at least changed it a bit, or ask before you could use it. I worked quite hard on that. Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 21:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Hi, I noticed you run your own "adoption" program. Would you mind shutting this down? I think it's doing more harm than good. Friday (talk) 14:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Metropolitan

Hi BG7. Hope you are well. Hows the design for the new Metropolitan going? Can I suggest you simplify it a little. I always find it a little confusing when reading through it. If you need any help, Ill be happy to help. Thanks. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 16:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Turbostar diagrams

I have finally finished my Turbostar diagrams which you have requested a while ago. So far I have done two car Class 171 Southern and three car Class 170 Cross Country. I hope you like them. You can see all my rolling stock diagrams here. UNI^|SOUTH 09:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Sims june Issue

The June issue is done and completely coded and ready to go. Do I deliver It on the first? or now? ElectricalExperiment 23:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not helpful

User's don't need to keep large speedy warning templates up on their page. Don't make unneeded drama by incorrectly warning over it like you did here. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 16:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help

{{helpme}} I want ALL MY IMAGES DELETING FROM WIKIPEDIA after someone uploaded one to Commons without my permission. My images may not be used anywhere but on Wikipedia, unless I upload them there.

Thank you.

BG7even 17:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

What license did you upload the images here under? The few I've looked at are CC 3.0 and GFDL which, unless I'm mistaken, pretty much means that as long they give attribution to their source, anyone can use the images for whatever they want. --Onorem♠Dil 17:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Some of the images also state release into public domain, such as Image:Blackpool_Trams.jpg. The Helpful One ^(Review) 17:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. you sounds a bit angry?

All images uploaded to wikipedia have to be given a licence that allows them to be used freely, anywhere, by anybody. They *can* be 'attribution', which means the other users have to mention the name of the author. However, wikipedia has *no control* over the free use of the images. This is explicitly stated when a licence is chosen.

Hence, anyone can grab any wikipedia image, and do anything they like with it, including using it commercially.

This applies to commons, as the rest of the world.

--  Chzz  ►  17:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

In that case, I think the GFDL should be made clearer when you are uploading images. I am revoking the GFDL from my images. And PD. And CC-by-Sa. I don't care if it's unrevokable. I want them off. NOW. BG7even 17:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That can't be done. Also, I can't imagine we'd go deleting useful images just because you want us to. Nobody should try to own the work they do here. Friday (talk) 17:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I TOOK THEM!!! And if you look at http://jacks-tram-pics.fotopic.net, you'll see that they are copyrighted there. And many of them on http://www.transportcentre.co.uk/. DELETE THEM!!! BG7even 17:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

If they have false licensing information on them, you could go through and tag each with {{db-copyvio|url=wherever you stole them from}}. --Onorem♠Dil 17:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The GDFL is explicit. The option you chose specifically reads, "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses: [...]Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.[...] Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms [...]"

You explicitly chose to 'give away' your images, and they are now, and will always be, freely available for anyone to use (subject to the terms stated).

I'm sorry you feel aggrieved by this.

--  Chzz  ►  17:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Surely if the author requests deletion, ti can be deleted under CSD:G7. Thanks. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 16:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with an article

The article on The Troubles seems to have a major problem. The text is aligned to the left of the screen ignoring the navigation at the left, so you can't read some of the text. I don't where to report this problem. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 19:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

Ok lets try to settle this. I want the final say on the newspaper. We Keep the current issue. then we send out Second June issue. ok. So If you Can send me the Issue You coded. (please put on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sims/Outreach/2/V2 then we send it out. ok. thanyou. Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Srry if you think I stepped out of line. But please understand that the issue has gone out. And the only way I se Fit is making a second Issue. We would not be the first to do it. And about the format it is the same format used in all the other wikiprojects newsletter. Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Wel I think it would be bad to skip a month. And plus why did you delete the sign up list? Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

well couldn't you of just deleted the names of gone user? Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ps. When you add a delete tag to a template or something that is transcluded. put the afd in <noinclude></noinclude> tags. Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Most wikiprojects use a outreach department to send out a Newsletter. Not a "Newsroom" Sincerely, ElectricalExperiment 13:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WPP:SIMS

May I ask why the newsletter was removed? Shapiros10 WuzHere  14:02, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Reported...

It's not abusive comments, just stating the truth. And for the record, he never said anything wrong about you in the first place so leave him out of it. He was just trying to be a friend. You on the other hand, are being a complete jerk, now that's not an insult, an insult is saying something wrong that's not truthful. I AM stating the truth by calling you a jerk. Jammy (talk) 19:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

All you have done is edited the Wikiproject page, I have been working a lot for this project, doing what the project is meant to be about. I've been making sure all the Sims articles are in order, fixing typos, reverting meaningless crap. Do you know how many times I reverted that Mersims rubbish? Sure you've done some good contributions, but you act like you own the bloody project, it's been annoying me big time. I've tried to act nice but then you just go and make it worse. I knew it wouldn't be long before you tried putting your name at the top of the members list as a sign of some kind of leadership and I thought to myself that when he does I'll finally tell him how much he's being annoying. And there you have it, you brought it upon yourself mate. Before you came this project was doing fine. Jammy (talk) 20:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I accept your apology, and I'm looking forward to working with you in the future. Jammy (talk) 20:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User Page Design Center

Thanks for the heads up on the user page design help issue. After reading the discussions, I've taken the liberty of solving the overlapping scope problem...

Since the WP:UPDC had a greater scope and a more prominent main menu, I've fully merged and integrated the content of the User Page Help WikiProject into that department.

It turned out better than I thought it would.

Enjoy.

[edit] OWN

I have not said I own Radio Wikipedia, but I do. You cannot contribute to a sound file. If a user wants to help with the broadcast the can. Two users are discussing this with me, and in Issue 4 another user has been put in. StewieGriffin! • Talk 17:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

How was that question rude?!? Anyway, soon Radio Wikipedia will be moved to it's own website. StewieGriffin! • Talk 17:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Now i'm giving you a friendly piece of advice: Do your homework!!. If you actually looked, my files are in the public domain. And, frankly, it has nothing to do with you about my plans and if I am discussing it. StewieGriffin! • Talk 18:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you help me out on licensing please!? Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 18:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I put a helpme template at the top of my talk page explaining my situation. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 18:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hello

whats up. do you like the sig i made you.SexySeaClownfish 22:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)-

I just thought that I should let you know that I am a sockpuppet of bsrboy and that a discussion of my future has been started on the Administrators' noticeboard. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 16:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

[edit] Interwiki map at meta

Earlier this year you asked if I could update the interwiki map at meta. Sorry, I can't do that. I'm not active as one of the tech team at the moment. Jamesday (talk) 00:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Portal:Sims

A tag has been placed on Portal:Sims requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section P2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a portal based on a topic for which there is no non-stub header article, and there are not at least three non-stub articles detailing subject matter that would be appropriate to discuss under the title of that portal.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Electrical^{Vandilize Me} 20:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
