Hey dude, I don't know how to add a license after I've already uploaded the picture.  Sorry, but if you just tell tell me what to do I'd be happy to comply.  Thanks.

As no one seems to have extended you an official Wikipedia welcome yet, let me do so now:


'''Welcome!'''

Hello, {{PAGENAME}}, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
*[[Wikipedia:Five pillars|The five pillars of Wikipedia]]
*[[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]
*[[Help:Contents|Help pages]]
*[[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Tutorial]]

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]! Please [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out [[Wikipedia:Questions]], ask me on my talk page, or place <code>{&#123;helpme}}</code> on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!&nbsp; Cheers, -- [[User:Infrogmation|Infrogmation]] 17:34, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Well, thanks! - I'm usually busy @ the German speaking Wikipedia and contributed about 30 articles within a month but nobody has welcomed me so far... Anyway, the English Wikipedia ist much more advanced and I wish to do more ''here'' rather then there. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 20:50, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your contributions to the [[Isan]] article.   However, please please don't keep capitalising compass directions- there's no need for this in English! [[User:Markalexander100|Mark]][[User talk:Markalexander100|<sup>1</sup>]] 00:28, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Howdy Khoon Markalexander100! I was pretty shure that there is a regulation (like ''Thursday'') to do so but if you (as a teacher) say so - OK & sorry. I'm going ahead and restore it then. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 00:56, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)

:Hi. Re the ''sede vacante'' image. It came from the Vatican website. Of course, you can't copyright an ancient coat of arms, so copyright's not an issue, [[User:Jguk|jguk]] 15:47, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome ==
Welcome to Wikipedia.  In response to your changes to [[Hofbräuhaus]], I wanted to let you know about some formatting issues,
*We always use the serial comma when giving lists (no: apples, oranges and bananas; yes: apples, oranges, and bananas).
*Try to stick with the second largest header in articles (that is, use <nowiki>==Header==</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>=Header=</nowiki>)
Thanks for adding to the article!  If you're looking for a project, we are always looking for knowledgeable help at [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Beer]].  --[[User:Sean Kelly|Sean &kappa;.]] [[User_talk:Sean Kelly|&#x21D4;]] 01:42, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for your notice. OK, I will follow those formatting rules in the future. Reg. the ''serial comma'': I've had 10 years of English and using a comma after the word ''and'' is new to me. The numerational comma replaces the ''and'' between elements in a sentence. So "your" way of writing '''..., and ...'' is needless and duplicates the meaning of and. "apples, oranges, and bananas" leads to "apples and oranges '''''and''''' and bananas". Hmm, maybe that's a variant of the ''US-american'' English. I'm sure you haven't invented that...but that's just my P.O.V. It's cool that you guys have a Wikiproject for beer - I'll give it a look! Anyway, cheers! [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 12:23, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
::Very perceptive about the comma... its use doesn't exactly fall on national boundaries.  For example, the New York Times does not use that extra comma, but books published by the Oxford University Press do.  Really, there is no agreement anywhere. The decision to use that extra comma was the result of a huge argument on this Wikipedia, the final style guide is at [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]].  &mdash;[[User:Sean Kelly|Sean &kappa;.]] [[User_talk:Sean Kelly|&#x21D4;]] 14:17, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::Alright then :) [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 14:25, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)

==External links of airlines==

Hi Scriberius - I noticed you keep changing airline external links from the main site (eg www.airbaltic.lv to the English version (eg www.airbaltic.com/public/index.html?language=1). I deliberately use the main site as it is substantially less likely to be altered and thus become a broken link. The links you are putting in are very prone to alteration and becoming broken. Also it is easy for the user to switch to the English version once on the site - they may not always be English users.
Also in External Links in airlines you also keep putting in "Official Site" rather than the airline name. I don't understand this - surely users know what an External Link is. I'm just trying to keep some consistency as I have added hundreds of airline articles and stubs. [[User:Ardfern|Ardfern]] 20:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Howdy, ok I'll keep the URL citation in mind. Reg. the description of a link, I find it useless if www.lufthansa.com in an article is described as ''Lufthansa'' - that's for shure anyway. It's better to describe it as an ''official site''. To prevent an edit war, I will not edit "your" style of describing an external link anymore OK?! [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 14:06, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)

== Refaim ==

:Thanx! [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 19:35, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

==Your user page needs less [[:Image:Cowbell2.gif]]==
You have the image [[:Image:Cowbell2.gif]] on your user page; this image is copyrighted and used in the [[Will Ferrell]] article under [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]. The use on your user page of that image is unlikely to be covered by  use however, and as such is probably a [[wp:cv|Copyright violation]]. Could you remove the image from your user page? Thanks. --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|<SMALL><span style="color:green;">*</span></SMALL>]] 23:21, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
*Done... [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 03:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

== Featured article for December 25th ==

I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that [[User:Brian0918|Brian0918]] has nominated [[Omnipotence paradox]] as the front page article for [[December 25th]]. You can vote on this matter
[[Wikipedia talk:Tomorrow's featured article#Omnipotence_paradox_(To_be_featured_on_December_25)|here]]. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is [[Christmas]], although [[User:Raul654|Raul654]] has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday.

Thanks for your concern about [[Derafsh Kaviani]]. I believe Pre-Islamic [[history of Iran]] needs more attention. I really appreciate if you could help me expand articles related to Iran (of course if you have interst in it). Best wishes ! [[user:Amir85|Amir85]] 22:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

==[[Washington State University]]==

I noticed that you put a link to <nowiki>[[de:University of Washington]]</nowiki> into the Washington State University article. I don't know if that was an honest mistake, a horrid misunderstanding, or purely evil vandalism (us [[Washington State Cougars]] are not too friendly with the [[Washington Huskies]]), but I thought I'd point it out to you. Try not to make that mistake again, OK? :) Have a nice day, though. Happy editing! (Oh, and if you want to put the link in the proper article, you can go to [[University of Washington]].)

== Moving images to the Commons ==

For images with the same name in the Commosn please use <nowiki>{{NowCommonsThis}} or {{NCT}} instead of {{NowCommons}} or {{NC}}</nowiki>.

I have just moved your additions to this article to the talk page.

==Fair use rationale for Image:Ecumenical Patriarchate.jpg==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Ecumenical Patriarchate.jpg]]'''. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to [[:Image:Ecumenical Patriarchate.jpg|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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.

== Missing image? ==

Hello, I trust I am writing to he who is also known as Mattes, on the Wikimedia Commons.  A few days ago, I noticed that an image (David gegen Goliath.jpg) had disappeared from an article ([[Sling (weapon)]]).  I eventually tracked the image to your gallery #13, where I see you uploaded three images concerned with David and Goliath.  Two images remain, one was removed apparently due to lack of a license.  I have found another copy of that image on Wikipedia (Image:DavidAndGoliath.jpg) but it is of very poor quality.  Might I ask you to upload your version of that image again, with proper licensing?

Thanks!  — [[User:Swwright|SWWright]]<sup>[[User talk: Swwright|Talk]]</sup> 10:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
:I guess you mean [[:Image:David gegen Goliath.jpg]] @ commons (the original pic has gone). The pic ist still in the article. I've put a no source tag into the commons file. [[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] 13:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

::Very strange ... I have now verified that the image of David and Goliath is present in the Commons and in article that refer to it, but I cannot see it from my PC (I CAN see it from other PCs).  I'm just going to leave it be, and make a note to check from other PCs if I find other "missing" images in Wikipedia.  — [[User:Swwright|SWWright]]<sup>[[User talk: Swwright|Talk]]</sup> 19:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Scriberius, the image David_gegen_Goliath.jpg is gone again, and this time it is really gone.  Here is a link to the deletion log in the Commons:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=Image:David_gegen_Goliath.jpg

Do you want to restore that image?  There is another copy, apparently identical, in the English Wikipedia's Image namespace, called DavidAndGoliath.jpg:

[[Image:DavidAndGoliath.jpg]]

— [[User:Swwright|SWWright]]<sup>[[User talk: Swwright|Talk]]</sup> 07:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

:Scriberius, What was the original source of the image "David gegen Goliath.jpg"?  Did you scan a photo in a book?  What book?  The existing copy of that image in the English Wikipedia ("DavidAndGoliath.jpg"), does not identify its source (but does state that the image is now in the public domain).  I have also made this request in [[Talk:Sling (weapon)]] and in your talk page in the Commons. — [[User:Swwright|SWWright]]<sup>[[User talk: Swwright|Talk]]</sup> 20:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
::It was a upload of this Wikipedia edition. There was no source given but since it looked a bit old, I took pd-old as a tag. Also, I do not remember the uploader. An admin could help...

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Thai domestic passenger ticket.jpg]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Thai domestic passenger ticket.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Thai domestic passenger ticket.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. 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 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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

::::The line needs to be somewhere. Currently it seems to be inclusion in [[WP:TC]]. Coincidentally, at least one user has already been [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive81#LocateMe_bot|blocked]] for adding these requests in articles, after having been fooled by Andy of a nonexistent consensus. The cleanup template list was later corrected [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup&diff=122011587&oldid=121212531] and all the uses of the template were moved to article talk pages. --[[User:Paradisal|Para]] 16:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::More dishonest FUD - the block was of a bot, temporarily, to stop its automated work, and relates to a '''''different''''' template. Para has yet to demonstrate consensus for his assertions. Note also that [[WP:TC]] includes neither {{tl|ISBN}} nor {{tl|listdev}}; and that they like {{tl|LocateMeText}}, are not "clean-up" templates. [[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]] | [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy Mabbett]] 18:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

::::::Stop calling everything FUD when it's against your POV. As a preventive action the block was temporary, but the user controlling the bot hasn't added any coordinate requests since then, not with the bot or otherwise, so the measure was effective. See the [[User talk:SatyrBot/Archive 3#Page_blanking|user's note]] about wanting nothing to do with the coordinate requests project anymore. Both of those other templates belong in the article cleanup or maintenance group, while {{tl|LocateMe}}, {{tl|LocateMeText}}, {{tl|LocateMeLong}} and {{tl|LocateMeBot}} do not. [[Template talk:LocateMe#Templates_gone_mad]] clearly points out that such messages do not belong in articles, but Andy is known to go on and on with his opinions when the consensus is against his views (as noted most recently in his [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pigsonthewing 2/Workshop#Argument_ad_nauseam|arbitration case]]), so it's pointless to continue the discussion, especially here. --[[User:Paradisal|Para]] 20:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

==Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study==

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study.  To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or [[User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring]]. Thanks.

This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Thai President Foods Public Company Limited|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 [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Nn-warn -->  [[User:Schuym1|<span style="color:#0000f1">Schuy</span><span style="color:#00FFFF">m</span><span style="color:#FFBF00">1</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Schuym1|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]])</small> 13:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

:There were no, zero, none, nil references in that article, other than the subject's own website. That implies that it is in fact not notable, since there was nothing to back up any of the claims in it. --[[User:Orangemike|<span style="color:darkorange;">Orange Mike</span>]]  &#x007C;  [[User talk:Orangemike|<span style="color:orange;">Talk</span>]] 18:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
::While that is a perfectly good argument for AfD or even a PROD, CSD A7 clearly states that only an assertion of notability is required (for example being top 10 in the world).  It does not require that that assertion be supported by references.  Sure, we can ignore spurious claims of notability (Joe is the greatest person ever!), but the claims in this article were not spurious.  I think you should rethink this one.  Lack of references is not something that we speedy delete articles for.  -[[User:Chunky Rice|Chunky Rice]] ([[User talk:Chunky Rice|talk]]) 21:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

...for [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAM_General&diff=287293068&oldid=200019437 this question]. I was wondering about this fact, too.

Is the "correct" image size for this template just you own personal preference, or is it based on guidelines? --[[User:Geronimo20|Geronimo20]] ([[User talk:Geronimo20|talk]]) 11:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

==Block==
I'm a bit surprised. Yes I've made some edits prior to log in but there were far from vandalism or other harming content. 

{{unblock reviewed|1=See no reason for this. Just using AnchorFree for generating a United States IP doesn't make me a bad guy (I just want to watch films hosted by Hulu). --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius#top|talk]]) 20:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)|decline='''Clearing an autoblock'''

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked.

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia{{#if:Michelangelo|, as you did to [[:Michelangelo]]}}.

:If you refer to my last edit ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Michelangelo&diff=next&oldid=297807210 diff]), you're the one who's unconstructive. The main article needs a superior pipe in its parent category. Open the [[:Category:Michelangelo]] and look where the biography of Michelangelo is situated now. It's under "M" not at the beginning like I wanted it. Sorry, to tell you but your revert was useless. BTW, vandalism is a really harsh word to use for this matter. I'd like to ask you not to call me a vandal anymore. Bye, --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius#top|talk]]) 08:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

::With apologies. On the diff it appeared that the category change was from Michelange '''lo''' to Michelange '''lol !''' (blanks for emphasis). It is indeed a heavily vandalized page, but no, your edit was not vandalism. I have reinstated the change :-) Cheers [[User:Enki H.|Enki H.]] ([[User talk:Enki H.|talk]]) 12:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

</div></span></div>Just wondering, are you still working on this page? We've had a complaint about it on OTRS; since it's been around over two years without any work done on it, I'd appreciate if you'd request its deletion as {{tl|db-u1}}. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle|talk]]) 15:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
:Well, there is a a lot to do. Why is there a complaint about an unwritten (at least not in the article namespace) article? I guess, another person could write it much better and launch it faster than me. I cannot give a guarantee that it will be done the next 3 years ... On the other hand, if this Assoc. is non-notable according to Wikipedia I will drop that project right away. Thanks for notifying. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius#top|talk]]) 18:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
::It is believed to be inaccurate. As things stand, the article would fall to be deleted as {{tl|nn-org}} if in the mainspace. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle|talk]]) 16:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:::I'll have to check [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)]] and as soon as I find out more (e.g. the no. of members). Maybe you can tell the person the difference between the article and the user namespace in the meantime. I'm on a major Wikibreak starting on Monday which lasts to the end of december because of a trip so January/February 2010 is the time frame to work on it. Chances are that this project is being revoked by me because it is very small and maybe non-notable. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius#top|talk]]) 18:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
::::I hope you don't mind, but I am going to delete this now and as soon as you are ready to work on it or want it undeleted, let me know and I will restore it. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle|talk]]) 11:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::::Sounds like a good compromise. {{OK}} with me. --[[User:Scriberius|Scriberius]] ([[User talk:Scriberius#top|talk]]) 13:47, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

==Need Translator==
I'm in need of someone to assist me with a couple of references that are in German, for the Biography article of [[User:Tinkermen/Sandbox|Michele Weiner-Davis]] I am working on in my sandbox, that support her mother.
