[edit] Unspecified source for Image:SSTAR.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SSTAR.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 00:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nuclear fuel cycle

Hello, would you care to comment on nuclear fuel's talk page about a diagram added to it. Thanks. 69.129.195.170 14:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I have been away from Wikipedia until today, but will look at the page now. Simesa 21:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I believe you are referring to the picture of a CANDU fuel element. Having worked only in the U.S. industry I am not an expert on CANDUs. However, the cylindrical geometry, size and structural layout all certainly seem appropriate. Also, a Google Image Search on "CANDU fuel" produces several very similar images. I would say the picture is authentic. Simesa 21:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] see talk page Hiv trial

lets discuss this 68.60.68.203 02:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Omaha

Thanks for you compliment on Civil Rights Movement in Omaha, Nebraska. That means a lot to me, especially with the articles you've created. You might also be interested in Timeline of Racial Tension in Omaha, Nebraska and List of articles related to North Omaha, Nebraska. - Freechild 23:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about Civil Rights Movement in Omaha, Nebraska now that I've broken out a large amount of the content in order to create Racial Tension in Omaha, Nebraska. Thanks in advance. - Freechild 13:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nuclear power

I'm taking a break now, after getting carried away with the article today! Hope we are moving forward. Wonder if you may be able to add some perspective to the "TMI and other accidents" section, by providing some context and analysis. And I think the "Nuclear proliferation" section needs to be cut down but I'm not sure what should go.

I am interested to see that you are an INTP. I'm an INTJ. -- Johnfos 05:43, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics of defect detection

I am the person whose Web page is at http://www.oldberg.biz. However, my email address is changed to terry_oldberg@yahoo.com. My phone number is 650-941-0533 . I'd be happy to hear from you. Communication via Wikipedia is cumbersome so is a last resort for me.

[edit] Dutch Wonderland

FYI, User:ClairSamoht left Wikipedia back in late 2006 and has not contributed since (sadly). I still have his talk page on my watch list. Ruhrfisch 20:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note to self

Talk with wind power guy and build an article on comparisons of economics of new power generation facilities. Simesa 05:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just so ya know

Sent you a couple of emails. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 01:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:HIV trial in Libya

Hi! Thanks for the attention given to sources, this can only help. But, in fact, the references do support the claim — please see message on Talk:HIV trial in Libya. Cheers! Tazmaniacs 01:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just noticed this

in re: [1]

Hi Simesa, Best Regards.

I know this is old, but it ranks as very important to goggle. Apparently you filed a fishing expedition search warrant to determine if I had created sock puppets to avoid a block. It reads like an accusation of stalking quite frankly, and I appeal to your sense of fairness that it is both unwarranted, and really quite a deal less assuming of good faith than things of which you yourself have complained. In any case, I am asking you to make it go away - as you have asked me to remove unfavorable remarks in the past. Again best regards. Hopefully you and Obama can figure out where to put the nuclear waste eh ;) 71.75.125.236 (talk) 02:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Just got back. Let me see if I can address this. (I did make a suggestion to the feds on what to do with our nuclear waste, but never heard back and it's a touchy subject so I don't want to discuss it untuil I tag up with them again.) Simesa (talk) 21:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Again

I apologize, I have been away for an extended period - can't recall the last time I logged on, actually. I hope to be contributing in a limited fashion for at least awhile now. Simesa (talk) 21:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of The Benghazi Six

An editor has nominated The Benghazi Six, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Benghazi Six and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:59, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help me

I reverted your edit to Help me as it introduced a {{help}} (same as {{helpme}} template. Also, it is a self reference. Cheers. =) --slakr\ talk / 10:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

My concern here was eventually resolved when Help me was linked to Help and another editor restructured that page to include Crisis hotline. Simesa (talk) 10:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crisis pregnancy center

Welcome back, Simesa.

I saw that Andrew C deleted your contribution to the external links section of the Crisis pregnancy center article. His comment was that the link you added was not "pertinent," but that seems absurd to me. So I restored it. NCdave (talk) 10:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Dave - This is going to be a controversial topic, and I hope and expect we'll find common ground quickly. It would be, I think, appropriate for that link or something like it to be somewhere in Wikipedia. I do appreciate your support! Simesa (talk) 11:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I wish to state that I am neither Pro-Choice nor Pro-Life. My position here is that the information is encyclopedically interesting. I do have the principles of providing people with complete information and then not making their choices for them. Simesa (talk) 12:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That's what we need in an encyclopedia article. I am pro-life. I believe that elective abortion is the moral equivalent of murder, and that the level of civilization of a society is best judged by its treatment of its weakest, most vulnerable members -- a test my own country has been failing miserably for the last 35 years. However, an encyclopedia article is not the place for making that case. I appreciate your efforts to make the article balanced and informative. Unfortunately, your good work and mine have been deleted by someone who thinks the article should be an expose on how evil CPCs are.  :-( NCdave (talk) 21:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

Hi, Simesa. I came here to leave a note about your comment at Talk:Abortion thinking you were a newcomer, but I see from your user page that you're not. So just bear with my picky comment: posts like this that have little, if anything, to do with an article's subject aren't particularly productive and clutter up a talk page, making it difficult to navigate. Commentary is more likely to bring about productive discussion when it is tailored toward specific details, especially on such contentious topics as abortion. Hope this helps! --Phyesalis (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I just got back to Wikipedia after an extremely busy weekend. I see your point though, and you're right I probably should have found a better place to mention this (perhaps at the Village Pump, although I've only used that once). Simesa (talk) 11:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of tests

I suggested a change in the article List of tests. Please see my comments on it's discussion page for my reasoning. LeilaniLad (talk) 21:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
