User talk:Dothivalla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This looks like a vanity page to me. --Mihoshi 18:23, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree. -- Mosfunky 17:32, 23 October 2005

Dothivalla I think you should consider removing yourself from the Texas A&M University project, as you seem to have an overly biased POV. I'm all for cleaning things up, but you just seem to have some sort of vendetta. I don't know anything about the two rivalries, but you shouldn't take pettiness out on wikipedia. Thanks

Welcome!

Hello, Dothivalla, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Vanity page

You could use speedy deletion if you want to delete your page's history because you're the creator of the page. Just put {{db|Reason.}} (Type your reasons for deleting the page on the "Reason" part, of course. :-P) on your user page and admin would consider and delete your user page for you. --J.

[edit] University of Houston

Hi, I've taken on the case you submitted to the Mediation Cabal. I've updated the MedCab Case page and made an entry on the article's talk page. Feel free to contact me on my talk page or via email to discuss further but I encourage you to continue to work out differences on the article itself. Let me know how I can help. --Wgfinley 01:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the case up! I appreciate your time. It looks like we are slowly resolving our issues, but its nice to have a guiding hand to tell us when to cool down. Dothivalla 20:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Head-R-short.1.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Head-R-short.1.gif. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 12:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Its ok to delete the image. I eventually uploaded http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:UHLogo.jpg using the proper template. Thanks! Dothivalla 19:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Wikiethics

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 21:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
