Thanks for giving him this warning block. But "momentary"? I doubt it. I'm seriously thinking about taking him to ArbCom over this threat. I don't know yet whether that's just an attempt at an insult or a hollow death threat. This person appears as very sick to me. In any case, his behaviour is grossly inacceptable.

REALbasic

Hey there. Back in April you sprotected this article due to problems with a single persistent vandal. That person then created an account (Boycottrealbasic) to circumvent the sprotect, vandalised the article some more, got banned, and that was the last we heard of them for a while. Well, guess what, they're back and stirring up the exact same kind of problems as before(e.g.), but this time with some legal threats tossed in for good measure. I'm not really sure what can be done as a more permanent solution to this problem (being able to block ranges of IPs from editing specific articles would be ideal); I was hoping we were done with this rather bored person by now. :-/ Warrens 05:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ndru01 evading 3RR block again

I left a comment on the Admin's noticeboard earlier. The edit war continues at Gnosticism in modern times, with User:Ndru01 using another previously-created sockpuppet, User:Moonlight serenade to evade a week-long block Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#User:Ndru01. Please block User:Moonlight serenade permanently as a sockpuppet, and I would suggest also User:Abba13133131 and variations beginning with 'Abba' (I think I noticed at least one other, but can't find it now). Thanks if you can help. --Cedders^tk 08:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3-RR

Is finding different ways of saying the same thing, and adding them to an article, considered reverting? For example, supposing an editor inserted into the article the following statement:

About his own religious stance, he said: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."

and somebody deleted it. Next the editor inserted:

"Some say Hitler wasn't a Catholic, but he was faithful to the Church his whole life",

and someone else deleted it. Then the editor inserted,

"The Führer remained loyal to the Vatican for all his days "

and that too was deleted. Then he inserted,

"The faith with which Adolf was raised never left his heart,"

and again it was deleted. Has the editor inserting the statements made any reverts at all, for purposes of the 3-RR rule? Please reply here, I'm watching this page. Thank you. Drogo Underburrow 01:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it was that exact example I'd consider that 3RR and block for 12 hours on edit warring. More important is the "spirit of 3RR" which is there to prevent edit warring. But that's just me on that case. Sasquatch t|c 15:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Committee Business

Dear Fellow Mediators:

I'm writing to all mediators listed as active to point out several emergent issues that require the immediate attention of all active mediators. The Committee has come to a place where we can neither provide the function we were created to provide (timely formal mediaton for the English Wikipedia community) nor correct matters to be able to provide that function. In specific, we cannot perform any mediations, because most mediators are no longer taking cases, and we cannot add new mediators, because mediators are no longer responding to requests to join the Committee. I am in a place where I continually accept new cases for the committee, only to see them go stale after several months because there is no mediator willing to take it, and where I deny candidates a place on the committee because no mediator will speak up in support of them. I ask that all mediators take ten minutes to look over the following matters:

There are five requests to join the Mediation Committee, three with no comments whatsoever, and two that have been up for more than a month without sufficient commentary to determine a consensus on promotion.

There are four unassigned mediation cases, and will likely be at least two additional ones within the week.

I beg, beseech, and pray each Mediator to please take a few moments to at the very least comment on the five candidates, and to consider taking one of the open cases. We are at a place where we are literally relying on the kindness of strangers: Almost all cases are being taken by non-Commitee volunteers at this point. Putting the open tasks page (which only changes when we add a new case), and the main committee page on your watchlist so you will know when new nominations and cases are added, would go a long way to helping the Committee succeed. (If having the main page pop up on your watchlist every time someone else comments in a nomination is too annoying, I can move them to subpages like RFA, so that the page will only change when a new nomination is added.)

Additionally, I ask that all mediators check that they have a current email address subscribed to the Mediation Committee mailing list, mediation-l, to avoid the need for future talk page messages of this sort.

My apologies for having to air the committee's dirty laundry in this manner, but I fear it is the only way to get everyone together to bring the Committee back to life. For the convenience of those who simply cannot be involved due to time constraints, I will be listing those that do not participate in any Committee activities as mediators emeriti, so that we have a clearer picture of who exactly we have available to take cases. I am, by separate posting, asking all mediators emeriti to return to actively participating in the requests to join the commmittee.

Re: Page deletion

I know what you mean however, I know what I doing and you don't because I am me. I am not going to waste 20hrs of my life writing an article then submitting it and 10 minutes later seeing it all being edited. By someone who seems like a Mongoloid with a candle stick stuck in its ear helped him out or his mom taught him history. So I would rather write a few sentences leave the article for a little while let others expand on it then come back to it and sort it all out. --Street Scholar 13:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously you have an ulterior motive and you want to block me for the reason that I am a Pakistani. Are you a racist? you sure must be a racist you're harassing me. I don't see how my comments can warrant a blocking. I am asking you clearly to stop harassing me and leaving messages on my talk page which any civilized human being would understand. My 3rd comment was not profane and was not against the policies of Wikipedia to my understanding. So I suggest you stop abusing your administrative privileges to silence good people or people who's beliefs and views you do not agree with. I actually challenge you to prove how my comment above this results in me getting a second warning from you? I believe you're incompetent and incapable of distinguishing what is offensive and what is a simple request. --Street Scholar 15:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You really don't know when to give up do you? you're harassing me which part of that do you not understand? I do not want to converse with you stop leaving me messages on my talk-page. You're annoying. Anyway have a good day and dude just me alone I am a man not a woman and I am not homosexual. And I am also a Jatt in our culture unvilived is when you beat someone up not when you say a few words to them, I have different ethical and moral values to you, so try to understand.

Rhetoric?

Please point to 1 instance of me expressing Rhetoric against Cyde? JohnnyBGood t c 00:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't being sarcastic. Cyde actually made me laugh, which is a first considering he's done nothing but piss me off for nearly a week. And I genuinely think it is hope that progress can be made. You're inferring sarcasm where there was none implied or intended. As for the "Emergency, Emergency" comment I was referring to the edit history of the anti Cyde shadow group. It was intended as a joke. If you took it as me being sarcastic I apologize as that also was not the intent. JohnnyBGood

t c 01:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I know alot of animosity has been thrown his way, some of it by me in other instances no doubt. People get fired up when it comes to userboxes it seems. Apparently this isn't the first time this year this has happened either. In the end the status quo from before will prevail no doubt since by and large Wikipedians like their boxes (myself included). I think Cyde just made a mistake of stepping on the wrong hornets nest however it will calm down in a few days. JohnnyBGood

KI

I'm not at all involved with this situation (nor am I an admin), but I saw a link from BanyanTree's talk page, and I just want to know why you blocked him for so long. Certainly he deserves a block a little longer than 24 hours (a few days in my opinion), but don't you think 3 months is a little long?

ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 01:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the same issue, Tchadienne / KI / Freestylefrappe asked me for help. Obviously there was justification for a block on civility grounds, but three months seems extreme. He had a legitimate point about POV bias in the edits he was objecting to and, while removing comments without responding isn't particularly friendly, re-adding them isn't either. This is a generally good contributor who reacts badly to conflict, which would be a reasonable description of half the userbase... the other half being the ones who don't contribute much.

I'm talking to him about the issues and will likely unblock if he shows a willingness to discuss ways of resolving the underlying content dispute. --CBDunkerson 11:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why Not Follow your Own words

As long as you are documenting Japanese War crimes why not start an article documenting Chinese crimes against humanity since after all its a historical fact Mao killed more people than even Histler and Stalin. So you like China do you - so do you think you'd have the right to write and veiw Wiki articles uncensored in china now - or could you be punished. How about asking your Chinese commi buddies why they allow North Korea to exist - there would have been unification if your Commi buddies hadn't went aginst United Nations forces during the Korean War. If you think Japanese War crimes are bad wait until you see what China has in store for the world. Why not ask your Chinese buddies about the road system they have been building in Pakistan for decades or their cooperation with Pakistan? Remember what the bible says will happen in the edn times - a army of 200 million will invade Israel - and the only country which currently has that many troops in its army and reserves is China - of course going agianst God's people will result in the total destruction of China as a result of its invasion of the Mid East - a day I cannot wait for, mnkowing that all those Godless commi bastards are dead!

Freestylefrappe's accounts

Hello, Freestylefrappe has asked me to look into the blocks you put on his KL and User:Tchadienne accounts. I agree completely that KL's personal attacks deserve a significant block, but three months does seem somewhat excessive after several months of good editing. A compromise somewhere between Kelly Martin's initial 24 block and your three month one might be more appropriate. He also wants to change from the KL to the Tchadienne user name. There is no harm in this as long as he doesn't try to hide his identity or use multiple accounts at once. I would thus suggest indef blocking KL, and giving whatever lenght of block you feel is appropriate to the Tchadienne account, so that he can edit with that once his block expires. - SimonP 01:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfC

You blocked a user today, User:Añoranza, I am wondering if their RfC against me Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Zer0faults is still in effect and if so is there a way for me to get an admin to look at its basis before it proceeds? I feel this RfC was filed because I placed the two notices on the administration/incident page. I also dont think any dispute resolution was attempted and challenged what their version of that is. If it is valid can you please advise me as to my options as I feel it is unfair and that this user will just rally the same people who filed a RFCU against me, one that was proven me innocent[1], to attempt to imbalance the RfC. They have already contacted one user regarding it [2]. Advice, information, whatever you can offer is greatly appreciated. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I feared, the same users who accused me of being a sockpuppet are running to the RfC and making accusations. I am allowed to even defend myself? They are saying they started a poll in violation of WP:STRAW then tell me I am giving "cockamamie wikilawyering" for telling them that. They then say I cannot be reasoned with and state the cabal I asked for [3] against me, wouldnt that be proof I try to resolve conflicts? They are even starting the rex accusations of me being a sockpuppet. Do I get to address these comments at all? --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The User:Mr. Tibbs comments arent even certifying according to the rule "This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users." this is not the same dispute he is reffering to. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See the statement of the dispute: [4]. This RfC is about your behavior Zero, and yes I am most definitely a part of that dispute. This kind of behavior is exactly what I mean by wikilawyering, Sasquatch. And Zero you can respond all you want, in your response section. -- Mr. Tibbs 04:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the same dispute, look at Anoranza's evidence it all relates to one incident, one dispute. Stop calling it wikilawyering when someone asks you to follow rules on wikipedia, its rude and insulting. Your Straw Poll did violate the provision of making it, and that is to get everyone to agree on questions, and now you are certifying a RfC for a situation that does not involve you after your failed RFCU against me. It says same dispute with a single user, his comments are not about that dispute. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 10:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I ask for this to be thrown out, its going to turn into a witch hunt that has nothing to do with the actual situation. I should not be attacked for pointing out policy. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 10:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you can reffer this to an admin or take a look at it yourself. It is passed the 48 hours for the RfC and I have am disputing the current comments and the certifying user as neither has been involved in the current dispute, nor has the certifying user attempted to resolve it on my talk page or the articles page as the rules for certifying an RfC state. Furthermore the certifying user has engaged in recruiting people to comment on the RfC under false pretenses, accusing me of being a sockpuppet.[5] The RfC also now has a sockpuppet accusing me of being a sockpuppet,[6] and another user who I have never been on the same article with also accusing me of it. I had to get a Checkuser against myself to put this to bed: Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#Merecat. Considering there accusations have been proven false it makes their comments even less userful to the RfC. I would just like an admin to read it over and review my statements and proof as to why the RfC should be closed. If you cannot because of your involvement, passing this info to another admin would be great. Thank you --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 11:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

banned for Aryan as username-----

Sasquatch, as an Indian, I find it deeply insulting that you banned/suported banning someone for having Arayn as username. Please do not bring your western biases here. Aryan is a fairly common first name in India (e.g. Bollywood actor Shahrukh khan's son's name is Aryan). If this name is offensive to you as a westerner its due to your own misuse of the term in Nazi times (which are continued to some extent with Aryan Invasion theories and the like). We Indians should not be forced to forego such an anceint and honored term for western mistakes.203.115.76.198 12:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-21 Portal:Taiwan

Hello Sasquatch,

Are you still on the Mediation Committee? Would you like to mediate for the disputed Portal:Taiwan, see Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-21 Portal:Taiwan for the mediation request form.

The dispute is over the naming of the portal. Portal:Taiwan vs. Portal:Republic of China. "Taiwan" is intended to be about the island of Taiwan (NPOV) whereas "ROC" is about the nation/state (political POV).

A "Taiwan" portal allows NPOV information about the island's history under Dutch, Japanese, Chinese rule including ROC, about the people including aborigines, etc

An "ROC" portal limits the scope of the portal to only "ROC" on Taiwan, User:Chiang Kai-shek does not accept that the portal is about the island of Taiwan and insists on "ROC" portal. Hence the need for mediation. — Nrtm81 12:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Block of Al by Tony Sidaway

Could I please ask you to revisit Al's talk page and read the comments by Tony. They confirm that he is very personally involved with this and is determined to pursue this user for anything he can. This block has not been logged anywhere that can be publicly commented on (as far as I can find) which is a disturbing breach of procedure as the blocked user of course is unable to do so himself.

Hi sasquatch

This image... [[Image:Ceiling_cat_00.jpg]] is completly annoying. Why is it showing up ' EVERYWHERE??? '

will314159 3RRR block

thank you for arriving after the block expired. The guy that reported me was himself guilty and got me blocked before i could report him. It's kind of like a burglar making a police report on a homeowner unvandalizing his acts and Tom Harrison blocking the homeowner from making a police report, meanwhile ignoring a prior 911 call on another vandal on the same revert acting in concert with the vandal. If you read any of what I posted on it, you would know what I'm talking about it. Then Mr. Harrison had the unmitigated gall to say, "discuss before you revert." ignore the voluminous discussion on the my original "Joyner" quote that between the two of them "Isarig and Precis have vandalized God knows how many times and I am the one that gets blocked. Thanks for "nothing." I will be asking Mr. Tom Harrison for an apology for his deriliction of duty. Take Care! --Will^(talk) 19:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alienus

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for unblocking Alienus. It was a brave thing to do, though given all of the circumstances, the right thing to do. I urge you to talk to Tony, as you mentioned that you might, and try to get him to leave this particular scene. I can only see things getting worse, on several levels, if he continues hounding Al, blocking him left and right. Just watch out, though; he wasn't very happy the last time his block on Al was removed. Thanks again, roma rin [talk ] 23:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to say thanks for unblocking Al. Since these issues are talking place on wikipedia all discussion should really take place here rather than on IRC so that other editors can openly see where everyone is at. Sophia 10:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The guy who requested the unblock states that the IP is dynamic and he is a collateral damage (not very convincing actually).

Your edit on protected page User talk:Alienus

Hi, I wonder if you realised when you edited Alienus' talk page that it had been protected in response to my request on WP:RFPP.

Alienus - ArbCom or RFC?

I would like to ask your support in arguing against skipping RFC. I do think there is legitimate concern regarding Al's abrasiveness and inflammatory edits, but I think skipping the RFC doesn't help. It only furthers the impression that he is being fast tracked. I think it would be best to give him every opportunity to adjust his behaviour, as he does add value to the encyclopedia. It also strengthens a future arbcom case if he chooses not to do so. I've asked for Jossi's support as well. ^^James^^ 19:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Johnny Lee Clary - Please help

Hey there, my name is Nick, my username is Potters house and I have encountered a problem with trying to provide any information about Johnny Lee Clary. I have posted this post off to other staff members also. I am not sure if this is the best route to resolve this, but can think of no other way.

The article Johnny Lee Clary has been deleted. I have known Johnny through telephone conversations and email for a short time now (about 3-4 months). He recently came and shared his life story in for our church group for the first time just two weeks ago. Before I met Johnny I became interested in his story i.e. his conversion from the head of the KKK in the US, to being a Christian Minister who now teaches against race hate groups. I found the article Johnny Lee Clary as it still is today, deleted, except for some small talk. If you read the talk you see what I have said at the time (notice I have gotten no reply, probable my fault as I don’t know heaps about WIKI policy). From my understanding Johnny Lee Clary was posting as The KingOfDixie and looks like he tried to change a few things on Wiki concerning the KKK. While this is a controversial subject, Johnny being the former leader of the KKK would probably know a thing or two and be able to contibute, but that’s another story. He eventually made an article about himself i.e. Johnny Lee Clary. Johnny being quite new to Wiki and ignorant of rules of conduct found himself at odds with some admins and had his site deleted.

Whilst observing Johnny over the last 3-4 months I have noticed that he is very outspoken against race hate groups such as the Neo Nazis, Skinheads, KKK etc. This, more often than not, lands Johnny in the hot seat. He has experienced persecution from racist groups for his departure from the KKK and voiced opinions against these racist organizations on his webpage, www.xkkk.org. Johnny has also received multiple death threats.

Because of his bold stance against these racist groups Johnny has become accustomed to hatred directed at him by those same groups. Johnny concluded that perhaps the guy who deleted the page Johnny Lee Clary was a white supremist. I am hoping to clear this up. Before he told me this, I started to create J L Clary, after hearing nothing from posting in user talk on Johnny Lee Clary's article. I wasn't 10 minutes into the J L Clary article when it was issued a deletion notice, and then before I had time to reply (about 5 minutes) it was deleted! I was amazed. I told this to Johnny and he said the main reason he was told that he couldn't have an article was because he was not prominent enough.

Johnny has a very famous testimony and has been on multiple TV shows like Oprah, Donahue, Jerry Springer, etc, and even recently when he preached in our town he made front page news, a double spread on his life, and the local ABC interviewed him live, which is not bad for our town (LISMORE NSW Australia) See http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=John_Kerry&dir=prev&offset=20050327125109&limit=500&action=history .

When David Wilkerson came to our town hardly anyone knew or cared, yet David Wilkerson is allowed an article (and rightfully so), but more people know of Johnny. As to whether he is famous or not, just Google search him and see all the TV interviews and radio interviews he does. He hangs with some of the most prominent Christian leaders in Australia. Besides this, just being the former KKK leader should be enough for an article (he doesn't even get a mention in the KKK one, and would be deleted). He was also a Pro Wrestler. So he is prominent in Christian circles, he is prominent amongst race hate groups, and he is also prominent in the WWE wrestling.

Johnny asked me to test the waters for him to see if he was being persecuted by someone from a race hate group. So I created some sites, John Clary Wade Watts and Operation Colorblind - the name of Johnny's Ministry. These have been fine until yesterday. I cannot understand why these sites are just issued a deletion notice? Just because they mention JLC? I was hoping to discuss these things but they are just deleted. The one on Wade Watts is about a black gospel preacher who was one of the leaders in the civil rights movement in the US and was good friends with Martin Luther King. He took Johnny Clary under his wing and even ordained Johnny as a minister (to this day Johnny is the only white man ordained in the All Black Baptist Church). But his article is up for deletion because I mentioned Clary and had a link.

That is why I am writing to you to see if you can help. It seems to me that the person(s) deleting all articles which even mention Johnny Lee Clary has an agenda. I thought that wikipedia admins had to keep a neutral stance on every article. It seems like this guy has a vendetta against JLC. Why delete the Wade Watts article. That is guilt by association and could be proof that all deletions are because of racial discrimination! I hope this is not the case and would think that it is politically motivated, as Johnny is a strong supporter of George Bush and Antaeus Feldspar of Kerry.

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=John_Kerry&dir=prev&offset=20050327125109&limit=500&action=history This shows how Antaeus Feldspar supports Kerry, which is fine, but Johnny is a strong supporter of Bush.

My hope is that Johnny will be able to have an article like any other famous person, minister, former KKK leader, or pro wrestler, and that Johnny and anyone connected with him and his ministry will in future have certain rules set in place that do not allow the wholesale deletion of the articles associated with him, but that they will be at least discussed.

I thank you for reading this long winded post. I have only been using WIKI for about a year myself so I need your help, I don't really know what else to do. I hope you can help. I personally think that Johnny's story is one that is beneficial to the cause of reconciliation between races and to the3 unity of society as a whole. It would be a shame if WIKI became known for having covert racists. Of course I hope that this is a misunderstanding and that all will be cleared up soon.

Here are some links that might help.

Out of process deletion of one of my user subpages

I'm bringing this to you because of your comments WRT to reverting vandalism to user pages. I'm not sure if this rises to the level of vandalism, but I wanted to bring it to you.

When I first discovered Kelly Martin/B, I copied it to a user subpage, Ssbohio/B (history logs). I also created Ssbohio/BB (history logs) to do more work on Kelly Martin's concept of listbuilding. Along comes Cyde who deletes B and moves BB to B with the comment (Proper naming scheme). I raised an objection on his talkpage, and Cyde moved B back to BB (where it started), leaving the comment (User wants another name). I asked again on his talkpage that the original B be undeleted. He responded that he wouldn't undelete the page because he didn't like my attitude.

Cyde cites no policy in support of his action. Can you restore these pages as they were before Cyde tinkered with them? If not, what am I supposed to do? Thanks for your attention, & I'd appreciate a reply on my talkpage. If not, I can check back here. --Ssbohio 03:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clinton Foundation picture delete

I noticed that you deleted a picture from this article yesterday and it was placed back in today by user:Clinton Foundation a short while ago. I think that the picture might qualify under WP:FAIR, as it from an online press package about CLinton's trip to Africa that can be viewed at the Foundation's website. That policy aside, though, if you check the article history, you will notice that the user has come a long way in the last couple of days in his/her knowledge about Wikipedia usage, and is probably an employee of the Foundation who has authority to release this photo. I placed a message on their talk page to advise them to source the image anyway. I don't want to alienate this user back into an endless revert war which will result in the article getting deleted in toto, so can we take this a bit slowly and try to make it educational?

here is the source URL www.clintonfoundation.org/gif/071506-wjc-rwanda-hiv-aids-initiative4.jpg

I added the rationale as best I could- I had assumed that there might a template but couldn't find one- didn't thnk it would be as informal. Richardjames444

Fair use rationale for Image:MG 9624 copy.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:MG 9624 copy.JPG. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to 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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Linux.

Hi, I may ask this question to you about Linux. Do you know something that is about Linux? I personally think that Linux is very similar to Firefox. Firefox which I always use for checking my edit counts. Is Linux also similar to Firefox? I know that Firefox is one of the download system in Computer, but I need to know about Linux. My purpose here is to ask you about Linux. However, I know little bit. Linux represents the Penguin. So, Could you please explain Linux in my talk page? Cheers! *~Daniel~* ☎ 04:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
