Guinnog is taking a long wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia later in 2007, probably. |

cold fusion
Thank you for your proposed help on cold fusion. I'm not sure how you can help. Maybe you can stress that SA must come with solid arguments, with quotes to back them up (and not with his own POV). Pcarbonn 15:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Help with vandal?
This guy [1] seems to exist for the purpose of disruption and adding POV stuff. And I don't mean just the Big Mac. Wahkeenah 04:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Skip it, I found an on-line admin and he took care of it. Thank you! Wahkeenah 05:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

In re Roman Catholic categories
Retrieved from John McAllion dispute:
You wrote: I want you to realise that the RC category is not for people who grew up in a Catholic family, but for practising Catholics. Does that make sense? --Guinnog 15:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
My response: Actually, Guinnog you are entirely inaccurate. Look at what the category called 'Northern Irish Roman Catholics' states right at the beginning:
The following persons from Northern Ireland are or were members of the Roman Catholic Church. Membership does not necessarily indicate personal Christian faith.
Cheers on your respite/vacation.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Skellingtonchronicles.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Skellingtonchronicles.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Animals Page
-Thanks for the welcome. I understand your concern with my editing of the animal disambiguation page if you are not familiar with Scottish football, but it is a fact that Rangers fans are referred to as The Animals and it is term used widely amongst Scottish football fans. I would ask for permission to reinstate the reference. See The Celtic Song —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thesean43 (talk • contribs) 19:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC).
Wikibreak
Hey. It always worries me when people go without explanation. I hope everything's OK, and that you have a great wikibreak. --Galaxiaad 01:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

FieldTurf
According to your box you're taking a wikibreak and probably won't be able to weigh in on the current conversation regarding the NPOV violations over on the FieldTurf article. But just in case. I noticed you went a couple rounds with the user "Coz" who claims to not have a COI but is has "direct contact" with the company. I am currently running into the same issues with Coz, except that I myself have a COI and have made it known to be as transparent as possible (I work for the AOR for AstroTurf, though I'm not editing on behalf of the agency or Astroturf). The obvious problem is that if I make any edits to neutralize the POV of the FieldTurf article 1.) Coz reverts then immediately and 2.) My COI is called into question. I've repeatedly requested for neutral editors to neutralise the FieldTurf article where they feel appropriate and I am more than willing to offer my knowledge of the industry to clarify any questionable claims. Thanks for helping out if you're able. Ben 21:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Northern Ireland debate
You have been involved in the flag debate on the Northern Ireland talk page. If you remember there were four option listed about the way forward. If you wish you can go here and make your position clear. regards--Vintagekits 21:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Interested in one of your photographs
I am finishing up a book, and looking around for illustrations and pictures to include in it. One picture I want is that of an oil refinery with a flaming smokestack. I found that you had uploaded this picture:

I really like the picture. Would you be willing to give me permission to use it in my book?
