User talk:DrippingGoofball

Hey DrippingGoofball, welcome to wikipedia and all that. I've been watching the Bilal Abdullah, and have noticed that you aren't using the "Edit Summary" box. This greatly helps other editors in knowing what is being changed in the article. Cheers! Murderbike 00:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mea Culpa, I've been lazy... OK, will do! Thanks for the welcome. DrippingGoofball 00:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page moves

Hi - I reverted your last change at Khalid Ahmed. If you want to move a page, please use the move button at the top. For more information, see WP:MOVE. If you have any questions, just drop a note on my talk page. Thanks! -SCEhard T 17:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the Khalid Ahmed page, click the 'move' button at the top. On the move page, change the 'To new title:' field to the correct name. In the 'Reason:' field, put a quick note such as "correcting name". Then click the 'Move page' button and the page will be moved. Let me know if you have any trouble :-) -SCEhard T 17:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use

Because they would be copyrighted, they would be uploaded locally here on Wikipedia, rather than to Commons (Wikimedia Commons, which only accepts free content). There would probably be some biographies of living persons concerns, seeing as none have yet been convicted of the charges in a trial, although they have been plastered over most newspapers so that might be less of an issue. Any fair use image has to fulfil all of the fair use criteria, and must be accompanied by a fair use rationale. Read more about fair use here, if you're not sick of it already ;). Its pretty complex, to say the least. Feel free to ask me any other questions you might have. RHB - Talk 11:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image does not identify the copyright holder, nor does it have a fair use rationale. ShadowHalo 19:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User talk:81.109.227.62

He says the text just dissappears when he opens the "edit this page" but I have never heard of this happening to any other user so this could just be an excuse for vandalism but you can never be sure. It might be worth while checking if this has happened to someone else but chances are this person is just here to vandalise and they came up with this excuse. If it is found that no-one else has had this problem it might be best to block this person from editing. AngelOfSadness 14:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as he tried to add/edit information about the UK, maybe get some sort of block for him as how can anyone possibly add more infomation about it. I mean that all the information that can be said about it is there or there's links to the information. Also I've noticed that anyone who is editing an article about any country just simply blanks it for some strange reason so a block might have to be inforced. AngelOfSadness 15:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can report the user for you if you like as I'm used to reporting vandals as I'm on recent changes patrol. It's very simple if you have twinkle installed for your wikipedia profile. AngelOfSadness 15:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had reported it earlier but since User talk:81.109.227.62 wasn't editing at the time, someone deleted it as the report was "stale". We have to wait until User talk:81.109.227.62 is editing then we can report them, but we can't we they are off-line. The page to report vandals currently editing is:Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. If you install WP:TW it is much faster giving warnings and reporting vandals. The page tells you what to do on how to install it. AngelOfSadness 16:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3O Procedure

Just a quick note about the 3O system. I noticed that you responded to a request for review from Mdd4696 regarding his edits to Lisa Donovan. Thanks very much for contributing. Please make sure, though, that you remove the entry from the list (noting which entry is being removed and how many remain) when you make the response. In this instance, I would have removed the entry and recommended to the editor in question that he make use of RFF, since 3O is only to be used as a dispute resolution process rather than a review/feedback process. Thanks again for your contribution. Adrian M. H. 20:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lampworking

Hi - I don't know if you've had a chance to look at the changes I've made to this page, but I'd welcome some feedback, as this is my first time offering a third opinion. For example, I don't know if you were expecting me to actually make changes or just offer suggestions. Also, should I have come up with a compromise as I did, or just arbitrate and say "A is right and B is wrong". As I said on the article's talk page, you'll probably disagree with some of the changes I made, but I'd be interested in hearing your opinions all the same. – Tivedshambo (talk) 07:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the link to Arts and Crafts site

Hi,

I do not understand your reasons for removing the link to artcraftsite.com/glass/soldering-stained-glass.shtml

The heading of the Wikipedia page says:

Lead came and Copper foil glasswork are the arts and crafts of cutting colored glass and joining the pieces into picturesque designs.

the page i am linking to is an arts and crafts page that contains a step-by-step tutorial on how to us copper foil in order to join pieces of colored glass. It is a valuable, unique resource.

It fits the topic of the page perfectly and yet you insist on removing the link...

Science Lab

Why are you changing all the references to Science Lab? In what sense is it a fraud? Just wondering. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 17:45, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
