[edit] Great work!
Thanks for the work reverting vandalism, it is greatly appreciated! There is always a need for more folks to keep an eye out on Wikipedia for vandalism. There are some tools and tips available at WP:VAND, and feel free to write me a note (on the bottom of User_talk:TeaDrinker) if you have any questions or I can help with anything. All the best and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker 06:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Spatha.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Spatha.jpg. 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. 05:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Godel's theorem
Your edit summary said "please refer to talk page before doing random undoes". The talk page has several people saying they don't think that section is needed, and a thorough list of the serious flaws in the section. Do you see some reason not to remove the section, or you just felt like reverting the removal? — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- When I refered to the talk page, there seemed to be no definitive stance either way. I apoligize if I removed an edit that was widely agreed upon. --DFRussia 23:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] McGill University
Thanks for the help on the McGill University article, it's been the subject of several anonymous IP editors who appear to have a personal stake in the article and refuse to discuss things on the talk page. I don't usually leave messages on IP editors pages (since they never get them), so I left one on the McGill page. Hopefully that'll at least get them to talk it over, but I think the consensus we've established is there. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, just wondering where Wikipedia mentions not to use related images in the body of articles? The map and Harvard shield add dimension to the article and certainly don't take anything away from it.
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:NevanlinnaPrize.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:NevanlinnaPrize.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 06:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
I agree with your point of view. Could you help me direct McGill to McGill University? Thanks. Ocikat (talk) 00:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] snowdrift game
Hello--I had never heard of the Snowdrift game. It would be great if you could either add a section to Chicken (game) giving more detail about it, or (if it warrants) an article of its own. (It's possible if you don't get to it I will, so far I don't see what's special about it. Is it just that it's iterated?) Thanks in any case. Cretog8 (talk) 10:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sigh, that's annoying. There was already a perfectly good name! I don't mind rephrasing a game for the purpose of running experiments or teaching a class, but making up new terminology when its not needed just muddies the waters. O well. Thanks for filling me in!
