spam

I understand, but greeting newcomers in this fashion is so much encouraged they have a commitee designated for it. Also out the the hundreds who I have sent them to, you are the second to complain, and for a totally different reason than the other guy (he wanted the page to remain "red"). On the other hand I recieve a great deal of compliments and gratitude, so its something I plan to do alot more of. Sam [Spade] 21:30, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Point taken. I guess the gesture would be very different for a newcomer and myself. --Ldrhcp 21:33, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Probably. How long have you been editing anonymously, btw? Sam [Spade] 23:25, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Since last July. --Ldrhcp 02:11, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Wow, thats about as long as I've been editing! No wonder you didn't need the links. They can retroactively attribute your edits to you if you like. Sam [Spade] 22:15, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

That's really not necessary. I'm happy to contribute whatever I can whether it is attributed to me or not, and the username is really just to have a page and be able to mark minor changes, upload, change settings, etc. Besides, I didn't write anything that great: mostly just U.S. history stubs. --Ldrhcp 01:38, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Multiplication crosses vs. dots

I noticed that you changed the multiplication dots at 42 (number) to crosses. I'm not sure I understand your reasoning for the change (I've never seen MathML rendering problems with the dots) but even if this is the right thing to do, it is the sort of change that should be first discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers and then applied to all articles on numbers in a consistent fashion. Anton Mravcek 14:26, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

MathML has no problem rendering dots, but Wikipedia displays the equation with \cdot as a PNG. This is really a problem with the Mediawiki software, so I suppose you're right: I should have gone about making the change differently. --Ldrhcp 20:17, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've brought the issue up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers. On a purely aesthetic level, I've never liked text as graphics. But if the problematic aspect of the multiplication dots goes beyond the aesthetic consideration, I would gladly volunteer to apply the change to all the articles on composite numbers.

License tagging for Image:Daviddondero.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Daviddondero.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Daviddondero.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Daviddondero.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:South-of-the-south-cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:South-of-the-south-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion of Capgun Coup

A tag has been placed on Capgun Coup requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jeodesic 00:53, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No Police State Coalition

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article No Police State Coalition, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of No Police State Coalition.
