[edit] Diana L. Gomez

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Diana L. Gomez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi Rj, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Rj]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086Talk | Contribs 04:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

You may wish to take note and/or comment:
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous Yours, Smeelgova 17:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Intriguing Edits

Have a look over at the article you had edited previously and let me know what you think RE: putting a brief bit about origins in the beginning, and the campaign to summarily remove any perceived negative information even if it's backed up by multiple cited sources in blockquoted citation referenced format. Thank you for your time. Yours, Smeelgova 17:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] New Category

I liked how you created a new category for The Hunger Project. I have never created a new category, so perhaps you would be interested in creating one to encompass either Werner Erhard and/or Landmark Education and Erhard Seminars Training? Thank you for your time.Smeelgova 13:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kent-Meridian High School

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kent-Meridian High School, I just thought you'd like to know that the consensus for deleting High School articles now appears to be swinging back in favor of deletion. So this may indicate the beginning of another campaign to remove most High School articles. Your opinion on the AfD article would be appreciated. It might be helpful if a notability standard for High Schools could be agreed upon. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 16:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please look at estate in law

You appear to be the original author of an article estate in land; this is a difficult subject as land law varies greatly between jurisdictions. Could you please look at its talk page and comment, preferably there? Peterkingiron 20:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/(The Hunger Project)]], and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipedical (talk • contribs)

[edit] Possible need for Administrator Intervention at The Hunger Project

There is a need for more balance, and both positive AND negative sides to be represented in this article on The Hunger Project.

Is there a way that we (Smeelgova, Descendall, Enkido, Pedant17, Rj), can go to Wikipedia Administrators to resolve the positively-biased one-sided view that Jcoonrod purports to keep posting up on The Hunger Project, and also complain about his repeated deletions both on the article and discussion pages?Smeelgova 05:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit made to your user page

Hi Rj. Thanks for your message - please remember to sign your messages using four tildes ("~~~~") so that other editors can quickly see who has left the message. Sorry if you already knew about that and you just forgot.

With regard to the edit I made to your user page, this was as per the procedure for deleting images - image deletions should be carried out cleanly without leaving broken links. Hope this explains why I edited your page. Regards, CLW 07:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)

Hi, I noticed your edit to the dab page CSO where you helped format the page. I have to complain, though, because you bolded all the entries. This is actually discouraged on MOS:DP, and I clean up such overbolding whenever I see it. Thanks for helping out anyway! Melchoir 04:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Important WikiProject Automobiles Discussion

Hello! As a Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles member, I just thought you might want to input your opinions on an important discussion we're currently having about whether articles regarding similar vehicles should be merged into one or split by brand. If you would like to comment or read further, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles#Articles of Similar Vehicles. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and feedback.

[edit] CHNM Interview

Hello,

I’m a historian working at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and we are very interested in digital, peer-produced works of history, including history articles in Wikipedia. We’d like to talk to people about their experiences working on articles in Wikipedia, in connection with a larger project on the history of the free and open source software movement. Would you be willing to talk with us about your involvement, either by phone, a/v chat, IM, or email? This could be as lengthy or brief a conversation as you wish.

Thanks for your consideration.

[edit] David Oreck

Nice start on the David Oreck article. I think the guy's absolutely fascinating and I took the liberty to expand it a bit. - Lucky 6.9 20:17, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    • You bet. It's articles like that one which make this site worthwhile. - Lucky 6.9 23:01, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Short articles

Hello! Short articles are welcome, but reposting that little stub about the Pennsylvania conservancy without any further information isn't much help to an end user. Can you please add more to it than what someone might already ascertain from the title? Thanks! - Lucky 6.9 05:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of U.S. cities with large Chinese American populations

I added List of U.S. cities with Asian American majority populations and List of U.S. cities with large Vietnamese American populations back under related topics because they belong there. Chinese Americans are a subgroup of Asian Americans. There is a connection between the Vietnamese American and Chinese American communities, not only because they are both Asian groups, but also because a significant number of Vietnamese Americans are of Chinese descent. — J3ff 22:52, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

On that note, I made similar changes to related topic section of List of U.S. cities with large Vietnamese American populations for the same reason. — J3ff 22:54, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed your racism

Fixed your racism haha. There is now a List of U.S. communities with caucasian majority populations started. However I need someone to help me contest it's deletion. I think it's only fair if there is one for other races for one to exist for caucasians. Please help expand, and if you know why any of the cities are distributed this way please add it. Thanks Cato1986 16:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bio-stub

RJ: I wasn't aware of the bio-stub boilerplate, but I will give it a try next time I need it (which should be later today). Thanks! Steve Casburn 21:14, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NAMBLA

As I saw that you edited Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal I would like to invite you to help with conflicts in the article about the "North American Man/Boy love organization" as well. Get-back-world-respect 20:26, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Houston Mayors

Your welcome. If you plan to continue writing articles about Houston mayors, you can find many of their birth and death dates at http://www.rulers.org/uscit.html and then click on the heading for Houston. Academic Challenger 05:01, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Dude! I just revised your Houston mayors pages (and added a page for Oscar F. Holcombe). Check them out and let me know what you think -- I should have dropped you a line before I got started, but by the time I thought of that, I was halfway through. Steve Casburn 04:24, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

i didn't know he served 11 terms. thanks.

[edit] List of Hospitals

I have begun expanding the List of hospitals to include every country in the world, you may want to check for omissions and spelling errors in what I have added. I have completed the Europe list (I think). -JCarriker 01:25, May 22, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] EXLOG and other new articles

When writing a new article, could you add a sentence or two saying what it is that you are writing out? For example, I could not understand if EXLOG is a company, an institute at Stanford or something else. Andris 20:59, May 1, 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, that's usually how my stubs start out...

[edit] Fields of interest

Thanks. I'm trying to concentrate on non-contoversial topics at the moment, such as (hopefully) a list of hospitals. I'll probaly add my interests to List of Wikipedians by fields of interest eventually but I am currently trying to boost the number of my main space edits, so it will probably be a little while.

[edit] Mutual fund scandal (2003)

Bill, nice work on the mutual fund article. Does "market timing" need to be defined more or is it the same as "late trading" in the article? --Rj 04:59, Apr 11, 2004 (UTC)

  • Whoops. I'm just seeing this now. Thanks. No, "late trading" and "market timing" are two different things. I'll add a definition to the article. -- Bill 22:48, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Thanks, i get it now... --Rj 01:28, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Projects

[edit] Automobiles

Yeah it's pretty new.

See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/Layouts for some discussion on the project so far.

There is much work to be done still. The first major project I think should be to identify things to be done so that people can help out. Next maybe we need to look at the getting a standard layout together to help people assemble new articles. Any ideas are worth having though. akaDruid 12:16, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Image:Tzero.bmp

Thanks for uploading Image:Tzero.bmp. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 21:28, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

i think it was from the ac propulsion site

Hello. I've listed Image:Tzero.bmp as a copyright violation. I'm afraid that it's not legal to put upload most images to Wikipedia. To qualify, an image has to fall into one of three categories:

  1. It can be in the public domain, such as an image produced by the U.S. government or a photo taken before 1923.
  2. It can be releasable under the GFDL or a compatible license (which pretty much only applies to images you create yourself.)
  3. It can be copyrighted but usable under a fair use claim. This one's complicated, but album covers or photos of historic events might count. Image:Tzero.bmp doesn't fall into this category.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Best regards, – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 13:50, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright tags

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill Bradley fishing with his Warren.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Copyright violation

Hi,

I requested the article you created for Robert Haas, chairman of Levi Strauss be removed. The content was lifted directly from the copyrighted corporate webpage located here please avoid copy and pasting from protected sources. If you recall any other instances of copyright violation, please amend those pages.

Regards, lots of issues | leave me a message 21:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


I don't mean to raise the level of hostility. However, please do consider revisiting any instances of copyright violation as it reflects poorly on the site.

[edit] Copyright violation in Shiv Nadar

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Shiv Nadar, by Feba (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Shiv Nadar is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Shiv Nadar, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Shiv Nadar itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll be blunt.After all the work I have put into that article as a distillation of my years of research in the supercentenarian field,I consider the inclusion of that table to have ruined it!
