[edit] Tom Leykis
Looks like your "MWT" software reverted the edits I made to the Tom Leykis entry, claiming I was 'vandalizing' the page. If you take a look at the edit history, you'll see that I actually cleaned up the page by combining similar sections and rewriting awkward prose. I object to your use of automated software to claim that I was 'vandalizing' the page. Your software must be pretty stupid and unreliable. I also object to Wikipedia allowing automated software to undo legitimate edits without human review.
[edit] Marijuana
I'm interested in finding out your arguements about Marijuana legalisation. If I'm not mistaken, you support the use of Marijuana? I'd like to find out why, exactly. --Sumo Sniper 05:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
There is no reason for Cannabis being classified as an illegal drug. Those that advocate prohibition tend to use "Junk science" in their reasoning. Physiologically, Cannabis is much safer than ethanol beverages. There is no practical risk of overdose, it does not impair judgement like alcohol does and it doesn't make people rowdy. I remember reading somewhere that up to 40% of crimes are committed under the influence of Alcohol. I am doubtful that many of those under the influence of Cannabis could even be bothered to commit a crime. I strongly suggest that you read this FAQ; http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_faq1.shtml --Jaymo 15:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unit 200
Stub sorted in 2 minutes. Wow. I'm impressed. GeorgeStepanek\talk 08:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia_talk:Censorship
A revised version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 11:38, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of stub tag on Cro-Magnon man
I see you removed the stub tag from Cro-Magnon man. I believe this article meets the definition, as it has very little coverage of the subject. Could you please explain your removal a little more deeply than "rm stub"? :) // Pathoschild (admin / talk) 07:30, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marijuana Wiki
Hi there,
I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.
I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.
To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.
I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki
Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:30-degree-rule.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:30-degree-rule.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 22:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging for Image:War105.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:War105.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] A few comments on your signature
First, I clicked on your signature to go to your user page and it lead me to User:Black Velvet instead of User:Black-Velvet. In fact the account User:Black Velvet doesn't exist yet, I made it redirect here so people don't get confused as to where your userpage is.
Something else about your sig. Please, could you not use the font size 4 in your signature. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll bold it for you:
This is your current signature:
<font face="Rage Italic" size="4" color="black">[[User:Black Velvet|Black-Velvet]]</font>
Please alter your signature so it produces a littler font please. Maybe a size 2? And please change the link in which it goes to from Black Velvet to Black-Velvet. Thank you! — The King of Kings 23:46 June 30 '06
- Thanks for telling me. I changed the link to User:Black-Velvet, and I changed the font size to 3. 2, I'm afraid, in my opinion, is much too small. If you have any further complaints in that area, then I suggest you change your browser settings. Black-Velvet 07:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your new user page
I notice you have buttons and images! I added a bad joke. Psychade 10:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Hah! You're right, it is bad. And thanks for noticing about the buttons. Black-Velvet 10:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Some carpetbagger categorized your user page. Psychade 10:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
You retarded crack-monkey!!! That just gave you a bv tag!!! Black-Velvet 10:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, we've had our fun, and it was funny for a time. But people are actually considering this a serious issue. So please; it was in the spirit of a joke, and has now escalated into ridiculous proportions. I'm asing you to remove the tags which you put on my discussion page, since I can't. Psychade 9:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Wiki-image.mpl plaster.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Wiki-image.mpl plaster.png. 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. 11:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did the same exact thing
I stole mine from smurrayinchester, and didn't change it at all (lack of Wiki-Syntax knowledge)--IAMTHEEGGMAN (talk) 16:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why Switzerland?
Hi. No, nothing to do with their financial position. I like the way they decentralize power to the cantons and let the people decide issues for themselves in referenda. Also that almost nobody outside Switzerland can name a Swiss politician, which is always a good sign. ;). Rhion 08:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alaska
Actually, I intended to revert those three edits as well. They simply removed the parenthetical SI measurements from the geography section, which doesn't accomplish anything useful and is kind of discourteous to users who aren't familiar with US Standard.
Admittedly, it's my fault for not making that clear in my edit summary. I really need to get less lazy about that... Kairos 11:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] McDonald Investment Center
Per your comment on AFD, this page has expanded. I'm 4000 mi away and I find it interesting in a Wikipedia sort of way. Please look and consider altering your AFD vote. We need to keep interesting things.Obina 16:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Obina 21:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re Currambine
Yes, that was one of the more odd assertions in that article :) It seems to me to just be a mortgage belt suburb like about 60% of the north, albeit with better planning than some. Orderinchaos78 01:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Never Pass Entry
Go ahead and tag the top of the page with {{db-band}}. The page does not seem to meet WP:BAND requirements.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coolness
your userpage is so cool. you don't mind if i did the same thing to mine? please--Chikinpotato11 01:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Heh heh, go ahead! It's public domain, take the code. I appreciate the compliment. Black-Velvet 12:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Manchego cheese
Hi, I hope you won't mind that I've proposed that the article El Trigal Manchego Cheese be deleted as it does not add to the already existing, and more complete, Manchego cheese article. (El Trigal is simply the brandname of one Manchego cheese producer). -- Picapica 15:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image in Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument article
Just a FYI: This image isn't from Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument, so I've removed it from that article. — Zaui (talk) 21:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alaibot tagging malformed disambigs
The basic problem here is that these all lack {{disambig}}, or any related template, and hence are uncategorised. Since it seems unlikely to be practicable to have a bot reliably tag these as disambiguation pages (and I'd be getting a lot more complaints if I were doing so unreliably), these are going to end up "clogging up", if not Cat:stubs, then either Cat:category needed or special:uncategorisedpages, until a human editor looks at them at some point and determines that a disambig really is what they're intended to be, as opposed to an actual article, since the distinction can be pretty murky. What I may do for now is have the bot skip the most common phrases used in disambigs on the "stub" run, which will mean it'll instead get picked up on the "uncategorised" pass (where it'll get dealt with a lot less promptly, I imagine, and may also get the occasional complaint). If you have any specific suggestions, I'm all ears. Alai 02:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Alloy wheels
Thanks for changing the stub part to an automobile related stub. I difd not notice it. Could you please find some people that know any information about Alloy Wheels and tell them to contact me as I do not know all that much about them. Thanks Harrison Bass - HB4026 09:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hardware fault tolerance
I've moved this to a subpage. Once I've expanded it enough, I'll update the main reference.--IEC61508 11:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:5CardStud.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:5CardStud.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the 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.
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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:5CardStud.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:5CardStud.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 {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} 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 {{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.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Tech-achieve-award.jpg
Hi there. I see you uploaded Image:Tech-achieve-award.jpg a while back. It's marked as having been released into the public domain, but I didn't find any indication on the source webpage that such a release was made. I just wanted to check with you and see on what basis you're claiming that it was thus released. Please let me know. Thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 00:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD
Hi, I'm contacting you because you previously voted on the AfD for The Intelligence Summit. I am contacting everyone who voted on that AfD regardless of how they voted. Someone re-created the article and it is again up for deletion -- if you have any input, please add it to [this page]. Thank you! csloat 21:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheGreenBerets.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TheGreenBerets.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the 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 here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a 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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:45, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The Clovers.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Clovers.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 (talk) 06:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1951 Lady Paname.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1951 Lady Paname.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
