Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [[Wikipedia_talk:Administrators#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29|recent change]] to the [[WP:ADMIN|administrator policy]] that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new [[WP:RFA]]. Until December 30, you can file a request at [[WP:BN]] for review by the crats. Thank you.

Hi, |
|||
== Cleaned to place up a bit == |
|||
You're a experienced user and you post frequently on the [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] page, so I have a question for you. Most of the text from the [[Joe Biden]] article is taken from [http://www.dsc.edu/advancement/pr/2003/07may03.htm here], which is in turn copied from [http://biden.senate.gov/bio.html here]. Does this constitute a copyright violation, and if so what is the best way to deal with it? |
|||
I have cleaned the place up a bit to make it look more presentable and to get rid of stuff which is no longer a concern any more but you can all ways change it back if you want. <span style="font-family:'Impact',monospace"><span style="display:none">User:</span>[[User:H.Brian Griffin|H.Brian Griffin]]</span><sup> [[User talk:H.Brian Griffin|talk]]</sup> 16:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC) |

== A copyright question == |
|||
Hi, |
|||
== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] == |
|||
I also have a copyright question. It is related to images. You seem to know a bit about them so, I want to know if I can consider the following my intellectual propery: I got an image from Microsoft Encarta Atlas, copied it and pasted into Paint to edit it. I changed most if not all the rivers that appeared and also added a lot of urban areas (colour) which show a more accurate map. I also changed the colour of the roads, but kept the same colour scheme as Microsoft encarta. I did change the topography lines to some extent. etc... So can I upload this into Wikipedia? I assume it is more than ok, based on UK definition, which I was only told about, which is supposed to say that if I change 1 street in a city map (ie delete it), that is allready yours. I couldn't find the copyright for Encarta atlas in Microsoft.com so I wonder if you would know. I grately appreciate your help. Yours, [[User:Kurogawa|Kurogawa]] 21:47, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC) |

From what I've seen, you are very active at keeping WP free from garbage, and no one questions your actions. According to the posted guidelines, I don't think [[Orlando Web Design]] is a speedy delete candidate. However, I believe many admins would kill such a blatant advert anyway. So, my question is, in your opinion, can it go buh-bye speedy, or do I need to list it on VfD? [[User:Niteowlneils|Niteowlneils]] 17:37, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:Thanks for your comments. For some time I had been leaning towards deleting obvious nonsense myself, and just tagging borderline cases, so, between those two things I tagged it speedy and added "blatant advert for non-notable company hogging overly broad title", and it did go away. I can understand arguments to not add just "blatant advert" to the speedy candidate list (I've converted at least one company that was put on VfD as an advert into a viable stub), but is seems like articles with a combination like that had should be candidates, as there's nothing that can be done for them to survive VfD, so why drag it out an extra 5 days.

Geez, man, thanks a bunch for deleting all those districts redirects I spent several hours creating! I, of course, realize, that a broken redirect should be fixed, and this is exactly the reason I stopped creating more of them when I realized that I can't keep up with creating the content which they are supposed to redirect to. Still, I've been working on the ones you deleted (slowly, yes, but I ''was'' working on them), and now I have to create them a-new! That really really sucks, especially considering that they were listed [[User:Topbanana/Reports/This_is_a_broken_redirect_page|here]] as the ones that will be taken care of eventually. |

Hi, |

being a chemistry-interested type, have you ever come across the term [[Chemics]] before? I have never heard of it, and I can't find anything related on google. I suspect that this is a figment of somebody's imagination, or some buzzword used in one lab in the world or something. I've not had to deal with this kind of issue before, but I've tagged it as disputed accuracy, and now prostrate myself before the wise gods of the wiki who will know how to handle it :-) |

== American English on the Czech Republic Pages == |
|||
You've replaced all the occurencies of the word refered with referred in the article on the Moravian-Silesian Region. I used the form refered as I'm more familiar with American English and in the whole article I stuck to it. One would need to replace many other expressions, which are more typical in American English, in this article (which I wrote) with their British counterparts to make the English of the article fully British. As I'm planning to extend the text as well as submit articles on other Czech regions (when the time allows) I would like to revert the text to the previous version. But because I'm rather new on Wikipedia, I don't want to do that without discussing it first. I know that it's recommended to use British English in articles on Europe but one of the general guidelines on Wikipedia also says "consider following the spelling style preferred by the first major contributor". |

Why did you go through and delete all of our contributions to articles today, such as the guitar accessory? |
|||
:They were spam promoting the products of a small webcompany. [[User:Maximus Rex|Maximus Rex]] 04:08, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

Looks like you need to re-read what Wikipedia [[is not]], so I will paste the following: "But of course an article can report objectively on what advocates say, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view." That's why an external link to our company among all the other external links to all the other companies is appropriate. If you want to delete product references, please annoy everyone equally. Thanks. |
|||
:Wikipedia is not "a vehicle for advertising and self-promotion" nor is it a "collections of external links". By your own admission you are trying to insert commercial links to your own company's products. [[User:Maximus Rex|Maximus Rex]] 13:28, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC) |
|||
Yes, external links to support valid material in the Wikipedia entry in the same "External Links" area as other such supporting material. Readers of this discussion may be interested in the following excerpt: |
|||
"In 2002, Gibson announced the first digital guitar, which performs analog-to-digital conversion internally. The resulting digital signal is delivered over a standard Ethernet cable, eliminating cable-induced line noise. The guitar also provides independent signal processing for each individual string. |
|||
"In 2003, Kaleidosound announced the Kaleidosound guitar effects controller, which performs sensory value to effect level value conversions. The result is that a user can adjust volume, stereo panning, distortion, and other effects simply by moving the guitar." |
|||
Maximus saw fit to delete the latter paragraph but not the former. |
|||
:Yet more promotion of your products. The [http://www.inventerprise.com/kaleidosound/ Kaleidosound] is yet another product you have a financial interest in promoting.

== redirects == |
|||
Hi Maximus, |
|||
I was looking for a frequent user on line at the moment and noticed you were. |
|||
I am currently working on athletics (started with IAAF World Champs and written quite a few rtcls on athletes) and have come across a problem with the female athletes who get married or change their name for other reasons. |
|||
example 1, [[Gail Devers]] who there is an article about medalled at the world champs in 1991 whilst called [[Gail Devers-Roberts]] for which there is no rtcl. not really a problem as I can use a pipe or better still create a redirect in case people with less knowledge of athletics try to find Devers-Roberts but |
|||
example 2, [[Tatyana Dorovskikh]] medalled at the 1991 worlds under this name and went onto win medals named [[Tatyana Samolenko]]. as there is no rtcl about her yet do I create a redirect from Dorovskikh to her more widely known name of Samolenko? I can quickly write a couple of lines to create a stub but wondered what the correct wiki-way should be for future use??? |
|||
any advice greatfully received20:53, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC) |
|||
forgot name [[User:Scraggy4]] |
|||
Thanks Maximus it was the bit about redirecting to non-existent pages that I wondered about. I suppose the best thing is to just create a stub rtcl under her wore widely know name and redirect the other to it until I get time to write a better rtcl. many thanks [[User:Scraggy4]] |

You've corrected single words of my edits on several separate occasions. That's all well and good, of course, but it's gotten me wondering how you came upon them.

Hi! Just some advise from a co-wikipedian with common interests: it would be super-nice if everybody took a couple of seconds to fill in the [[Wikipedia:Edit summary|summary field]] after editing articles (e.g. fixing typos -- in fact, especially then), so all the watchlist users didn't have to check the diff to find out what has changed. Saves us all a little annoyance and some time. No need for a doctoral thesis in the summary, just some short abbrevs will do, like "typo" etc. --[[User:Wernher|Wernher]] 15:42, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

:Hi. No one is allowed to create articles about their own family history. They are considered vanity articles because of their relation to you. No one is discriminating against family names outside the U.S. No one's families (even mine) are allowed to have articles. Families must be notable and encyclopedic to be included.

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|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 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s 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 [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|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: |

*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered |
|||
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]] |
|||
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]] |
|||
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: |
|||
:'''Option 1''' |
|||
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki> |
|||
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki> |
|||
'''OR''' |
|||
:'''Option 2''' |
|||
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki> |
|||
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki> |
|||
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.

== The exciting world of image tagging == |
|||
Greetings! A while age you signed up to help tag images, so I thought I'd let you know what's been going on lately in the image-tagging world. |
|||
First off, things are moving slow, but at least they're moving in the right direction. (What I mean is, more images are tagged every month than the number of newly uploaded images without tags, so the net number of untagged images keep decreasing.) But judging from the progress on the lists at [[User:Yann/Untagged Images]], most of the time it's just me tagging images. And it sure gets lonely out on the tagging prairie. |
|||
Second, I have basically rewritten the [[User:Yann/Untagged Images]] page. Hopefully that will make it easier for people to help, and will attract new recruits. What do you think of the new text and layout? |
|||
And third, there have been a ''bunch'' of new tags added in the last month. Check out [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the new tags and new organization, mostly done by [[User:Zondor|Zondor]]. |
|||
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Happy holidays! [[User:Quadell|<nowiki></nowiki>]] – [[User:Quadell|'''Q'''uadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[User:Quadell/Request for assistance|help]])</sup>[[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 17:33, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC) |

If you ever come back, you'll probably want to fix your monobook.js script. I've put nowiki tags around the templates, as they were causing the script to appear in inappropriate categories.-[[User:Gadfium|gadfium]] 20:21, 20 September 2005 (UTC) |

This is really unimportant (as in "over a year ago" unimportant, but in regards to [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Phillips_Academy&diff=5058018&oldid=4114891 your edit] of the [[Phillips Academy]] article...seriously. There is a large modern art peice commemerating the union which consists of a metal section - seeming rather penis-like - entering a circle of hedges. [http://community.webshots.com/photo/481973977/481991799pgPCXZ here's] a picture. Now, i'm not sure it was technically ''meant'' to signify that, and it is a bit of a stretch, but i DO know that it is generally refered to as "the penis statue" or "tha phallic statue." And like i said...not important in the least.[[User:Jfg284|jfg284]] <sup>[[User talk:Jfg284|you were saying?]]</sup> 17:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC) |

==Sources for Hydrozincite== |

Hello, good work on [[Hydrozincite]], and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to [[WP:CITE|cite the sources]] they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Hydrozincite? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see [[WP:CITET]] if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Röntgenwifehand.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together 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 adding 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 {{Tl|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 {{tlp|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. |

Notice of change
[edit]Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA.
