Tanner Trail peer review

Hi, for your interest: Wikipedia:Peer_review#Tanner Trail. — BillC ^talk 22:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Lucy Pinder photo

Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not censored, so using that as a sole rationale for deleting images is nto inherently correct. Granted, there was no reason to keep that photo around that you tagged, and it should have been deleted, just pointing it out for future reference. Wizardman 03:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind that, Wikipedia has recently been trying to become more censored, so the deletion was probabyl the right thing to do. Wizardman 03:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Its just so unlikely that the image was not copyright, although sometimes nude models/pornstars do allow (usually non-nude) images to be used Jimfbleak 05:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Leave No Trace in hiking trail articles

Hi Gonzo fan2007, I noticed you added a section on Leave No Trace practices in a number on articles on hiking trails. While I agree these practices should be followed we don't need to add this information to every article on a hiking trail since it provides no specific information particular trails. This information is already linked to from the general articles on hiking and backpacking . I am removing it from the trails articles. I hope you don't mind, Patleahy 18:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah i understand, i think ill add it to List of trails in Grand Canyon National Park because i added the Leave No Trace to all the articles on each trail in the Grand Canyon because all those articles link to the List of trails in Grand Canyon National Park. See i created like half of the trail articles and im working on all of them in the Grand Canyon, yet i havent had the time to sit down and complete most of the articles, so i just placed a basic outline on all the artciles based on what i saw on the few articles that were finished. but yeah ill just place it on the List of trails in Grand Canyon National Park and i think that will be good. Thanks for the concern.

Trails template renamed Infobox Hiking trail

Hi Gonzo fan2007. I noticed you have the {{Trails}} in your sandbox User:Gonzo fan2007/Test Area. I just want to let you know I have renamed the template {{Infobox Hiking trail}}. -- Patleahy (talk) 18:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Brett Favre

I marked that user as probably being SW1955; there are pretty clear giveaways in behaviour that suggest the identity. In any event, it it clear from this link[1] that whoever it is has specifically aged the sockpuppet to circumvent the semi-protection of the Brett Favre page. I would revert anything from this user on sight, since the editor has used 'merit of edit' in the past to try to get around the fact that they are still banned from Wikipedia. Skybunny 05:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

In case you wished to know, a checkuser has been submitted. Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Starwars1955. Regards, Skybunny 05:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

You can send the IP to Isotope23, who's investigating. Reference provided; hope it helps. Thanks, Skybunny 21:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why the checkuser/checkip hasn't been done by now, honestly. It's been over a week. I guess it takes time to do. Skybunny 05:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Please

Moved from User's pages
Lets not kid ourselves here, you are obviously and blatantly User:Starwars1955. You have argued the same argument for a very long time with more accounts then what is easily countable. You try and edit the same exact things, over and over again. You ask out of all of us why we do not work on making the Brett Favre article better, by updating stats and the such. Did you ever think that maybe it was because we had to spend time enforcing Wikipedia policy on you? Did you ever think that maybe we lost our time to make constructive edits because we had to search for over 80 sockpuppet accounts made by you? Did you ever think that maybe if you didn't make disruptive edits (I am not trying to put down your edits, they probably are good, but you tend to make more disruptive edits, vandalism, and removing warnings on your many User pages) that we would have more time to keep the article updated? I really hope you understand where I and others are coming from. Wikipedia has policies that we all have to agree with if we choose to edit this cite. We are required to either enforce policy, or make it known to others that someone is violating policy. That is all we are doing. You have disrupted Wikipedia so much that no one has the energy to try and give you anymore chances. I for one absolutely love Brett Favre and the Packers, and I do care about this page, that is why I created the playoff stats (in the table) and expanded the career season stats. I dont understand your obsession with this page, its just a page on Wikipedia. If you truly want to be constructive, try pointing out mistakes or errors on the talk page. Your comments may be removed, but that means someone read it and will probably verify your comments and make the appropriate changes. I really hope you can come to grips with this, I am not here to fight with people, I am here to make a better encyclopedia. That is the point of this whole project. Please respond (if you feel like it) on my talk page as I will not delete it (which is probably what would happen on any other page). Thanks.
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 07:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not here to fight either and I don't care if people think I'm a sock or a banned user, I'm not at trial here, and I'm definatly not a banned user or a sockpuppet, and absolutely and definatly not starwars1955. I'm not editing the other pages because I have nothing to add to them, I'm a super packers and Brett Favre fan and all I want to do is improve the page, I'm sorry if we have had trouble in the past, I love, I mean love the stats that you added to the page, it's awsome, I wouldn't have known how to do that, I created the playoff stats section ages ago with the references and when you added the year by year numbers, that was awsome and I added most of the records and milestones ages ago, all I want to do is improve the page, there are incorrect stats that I fixed, I mean no harm, I don't know why you guys are so harsh with me, I've created accounts to edit with because all my original accounts were banned because I got caught up with the starwars1955 thing, just because the only thing I want to edit is Brett Favre. I don't touch he dialog, I added the thing about his surgery this year and corrected some punctuation errors in the past, but that's it, I have nothing else to add though, the edit I made at 3:38 under Brandi Gibson is my last update, other than updating the stats every week, my info is legit and I'm a Brett Favre fan and he deserves for this info to be added, he's worked hard for it and if you guys would just let me add it, I'll be out of your hair other than updating the stats every week, but you'll be on that to so there won't be much for me to do, if I have an idea I could let you know here in your talk page, but I've added all I want to add and I won't be editing other pages. I'm too busy and have nothing to add, but if you will just check my 3:38 edit, that's it, if you want to think I'm a banned person or a sock, there is nothing I can do about it, I'm not and not trying to do anything but update the stats, Brett Favre is one of my favorite people, I qould never harm the page and all I want is my edit from 3:38 to be added, he deserves to have a acurate page, look at the new stat I added on that edit, it has a cit and it's consecutive games played, he's 4th with 243, 3. morten andersen - 248 2. Jim Marshall - 282 1. Jeff Feagles - 308 (But Feagles and Andersen are kickers, low to none rate of getting injured, it's all about does a team still want you with them, the only streak that is current on that is Favre and Feagles). I just want my edit at 3:38 to be added, you can check it yourself, I'm a nice person and want no trouble, I'm being treated horribly and all I want to do is improve the page to the upmost leavel, but your stats addition were awesome, well I'm here if you want to reply, Thanks for hearing me, --4 Brett Favre 08:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)4 Brett Favre4 Brett Favre 08:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)--

I'm going to take a look at things tomorrow because Im tired as heck and need sleep. Believe me I know that you mean well, but sometimes you have to take a diplomatic approach with people. I really dont have anything against you, I basing all my actions on the fact that the community has banned you, which means you cannot edit anything. If you want to email me that stats that need fixed I will be glad to review them and make any necessary changes. Just go to my user page and at the bottom left there is an email me link. Thanks and good luck.

Templates

Please take note that templates should not be used if it is purely in use on the one article. Please see WP:TMP, taking note of "Templates should not masquerade as article content in the main article namespace; instead, place the text directly into the article." --D_arkF_alls ^talk 08:57, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't realize that was a rule until you brought it to my attention. My bad. I was looking for a way to lessen the total size of the article, since the tables almost double the length of the article. Is there anyway to do this, I know sub-pages cannot be used, so I really cannot come up with any other ideas. (You can reply here or at my talk page). Thanks.

The things that need corrected are simple, because there is hardly any difference between our versions, instead of using the , with on the stats after they are NFL records, you use Most career whatever: and then the stat now that they are NFL records, those need to be updated and then just arrainge the records and milestones now that they are records, instead of 4 being under Longest touchdown pass 99 yards etc. they should be under Most career touchdown passes, and he doesn't have 2,622 points, it's 2,616, do the math (423 pass tds = 13 rush tds) = 436 tds x 6 points a piece = 2,616, these are the only updates I want to make then I go away forever, compair our two versions, that's the only differences, clean them up, change the , with to Most and then : like the others and arrainge them, I created almost all those stats and all the playoff stats and links, so it's not about that, I just want you to update those few things, compair our two versions, if anybody will fix this , it's you Gonzo fan2007, because you've improved the page with the stats, so anyway this is my last edit, then I'm done forever, I wish you would understand that, I trust everone else to update the stats every week, I don't need to do that, so if you don't let me update this stuff, please fix them yourself Gonzo fan2007, Thanks --500 Touchdowns 05:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)500 Touchdowns500 Touchdowns 05:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)--

Don't spam

Hello Gonzo fan2007. I noticed that when I corrected the redirect on the Getting Played page so that someone could fix it, you changed it back so that it would redirect to the Yu Gi Oh! page again, then wrote "Redirect is fine." Please stop spamming and destroying articles. GoldenGoose100 06:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

First and foremost please refrain from personal attacks and please assume good faith. I am a hard working editor and just happen to be human and do make mistakes. Please, instead of accusing me, simply explain why your version is right or how I made a mistake, and I will be glad to revert my changes. From what I can see, the redirect is fine, but if you want to explain to me why I'm wrong, please do. Thanks. (Feel free to respond here or on my talk page)
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 07:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Is this what you call a personal attack?

Every user on wikipedia can see your wrongful edit of the Getting Played page. So no, I do not want to explain it to you. When someone wants to read up about the Getting Played movie, that's what they want to read, not about Yu-Gi-Oh.

GoldenGoose100 07:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

For your reference, I spent some time and figured everything out. The page is created, if you can add anything, please do as long as it is sourced. Sorry for the confusion, but next time you can just come and ask me and Ill always try and help out. Good luck editing!
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 08:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you kindly. Take care.

Fair use rationale for Image:Getting Played .jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Getting Played .jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Tagging of Image:Yukmouth.jpg

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Image:Yukmouth.jpg. I do not think that Image:Yukmouth.jpg fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because it wasn't given the time to add sources. feydey 14:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Shut up

Don't you dare say that I'm vandalizing Wikipedia. Jack Thompson is an a**hole and will be noted as such. If you think this is biased, take it to talk to the talk page. Thank you. 141.156.229.245 05:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank You For The Kudos

WarthogDemon has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads-up; I actually tried that before, but when I previewed the changes nothing was different, so I just figured it was The Man keeping me down again. Thank you for the tip! --jonny-mt(t)(c) 07:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Florida Tech/COE

Hey,

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. Yes, I do attend there, but it's not like I'm getting money from them for writing anyways. (trust me... I wish I did... haha) I understand the NPOV and COI guidelines and I've been observing them very closely. If you review the work I've done on the main article on the university, you'll see that I have not put any personal favortism or personal POV on things (in fact I've been the one cleaning up some of the NPOV issues)...

The notability issue: it'll be notable probably by the end of the night. I'm working on COE first, if you look at the Florida Institute of Technology article, the Academics section needs major work and I'm trying to deploy the new subarticles one by one. COE just happens to be the first article of six on academics. I'll work on the rest on my Sandbox, as I have done for User:Jamesontai/Sandbox01 for Student Organizations. Regarding the namespace, I didn't know how to label an article as a "sub-article", in fact I don't really know if that's even possible. I've been researching on different universities' individual college pages like (especially for this case): Gator Engineering. The rest of the Florida Institute of Technology article I'm trying to model after MIT and Georgia Tech. I'd appreciate any help in making this work for me. Thanks again! Jameson L. Tai 07:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
