User talk:Falcofire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

--Daniel ellis 17:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Falcofire, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:Falcofire/sandbox for any tests you want to do. (The link will turn blue after you start the page.)

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 17:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi again

There's no set criteria for barnstars. Someone can give you one whenever they think you deserve it. Some people have tons, some people don't have very many at all, and some people actually prefer not to get them and say so on their userpages. It's pretty random. Just keep plugging away and eventually someone might notice you and drop you a barnstar.

As for the Fenway thing... I'm actually a Yankee fan myself. But I have respect for all the classic teams, so I visit other parks when I can. Lots of history in all those places. I'm a baseball fan first, and a Yankee fan second. And Boston is my favorite city, so I'm up there quite a bit. Kafziel Talk 21:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Delaware Military Academy

Hi Falcofire, I don't have any affiliation with the Delaware Military Academy and actually had never heard of it until I edited the page. I was doing some recent changes patrol work and reverted a previous edit to the article that was not constructive--i.e. mine was a minor edit that was not substantive. Sorry I can't be of help by adding to the article.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

You wrote me about this again on my talk page (probably not remembering that you had written me in May) but no, I don't have any experience with or knowledge of DMA. Again, I only edited the article while on vandal patrol.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 18:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't have any direct experience with DMA; I was doing some work over on Red Clay Consolidated School District and bounced over to tag on behalf of WikiProject Delaware and Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools. DMA didn't even come into existence until after I had moved out of the state of DE, so I'm afraid i don't have much more to offer that isn't either already on this page or available via internet sources. --Littledrummrboy 18:46, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:DMA

I was just going through the "Recent Changes" list and noticed that there was vandalism on the page. I do that a lot. :-) Regards, ... discospinster talk 16:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rosewood High School distance core picture

In response to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Daniel_ellis#.24.23.25.28.40.2A.23.24)

Hey, come on Zack, I didn't remove your article, it's still there. I just moved it to the right side instead of the left. If you have any other concerns let me know. --Daniel ellis 17:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice page

Yeah, you're page is looking nice. I noticed your name style too, how'd you change that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel ellis (talkcontribs) 21:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

How do you want your userpage organized? It's all personal, there's no "official" way to do it. Take a look at mine for example. Wikidudeman (talk) 15:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


I would really like them organized on the right side of the page like the info box on Rosewood High School's page.


...

Just put on the right side, or do you want the same box? Wikidudeman (talk) 15:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget to sign your name at the end of each comment using ~~~~ Wikidudeman (talk) 15:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

That's great, thanks a lot.
Falcofire 15:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The topical archive with this comment is at [[User talk:Falcofire/helpme#{{{2}}}|helpme]].


Could someone help me out on organizing my userboxes?! I can not figure the whole infobox/organize style. Edits from experts welcome.

When you're new to re-designing your userpage and adding userboxes, your best bet would be to browse through other members' userpages, look through the source and take out bits of code that interests you. However, ensure they haven't specifically left a note on their page requesting members don't do this. For example, on my userpage, you're more than willing to take parts of my code. RyanLupin (talk/contribs) 19:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thank You as well Falcofire for your support! Sephiroth storm (talk) 22:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rosewood High School

I removed that info because it clearly was written without NPOV. Using words like remarkably, astoundingly, above and beyond are adverbs that are Wikipedia:Words to avoid. Also, some of the info given was not necessary for an encyclopedia. Someone already reverted some of the changes you made, but I hope this gives you some understanding into why I changed the article. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 15:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to :Image:Ttysonnhc.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Gwernol 18:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

That image appears here and that page claims copyright of it. Assuming you took that photo, you have assigned copyright to the National Humanities Center. Either that or they have breached your copyright, in which case I suggest you ask them to remove the picture immediately. Gwernol 20:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
That's fine but the photo is copyright to the NHC, so you do not have the right to put that image into the public domain or to upload it here, whether you took it or not. Sorry, Gwernol 21:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Your replacement image is also a copyrighted image [1], again apparently copied from a website. Please stop, you cannot upload copyrighted images to Wikipedia. Doing so not only violates the copyright holder's rights but also is clearly in violation of our policies. Continuing to violate Wikipedia's copyright policies will result in you being blocked from editing. Thanks, Gwernol 01:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


By default the copyright on a web page does extend to the entire contents of the webpage. If a part of the page, whether an image or part of the text, is separately copyrighted, a separate copyright notice should be shown. Of course in practice this doesn't always happen. However almost every image and piece of text on the web (or from other sources) is copyrighted. To quote from our copyright policy:

If you contribute material to Wikipedia, you thereby license it to the public under the GFDL (with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). In order to contribute, you must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either
  • you hold the copyright to the material, for instance because you produced it yourself, or
  • you acquired the material from a source that allows the licensing under GFDL, for instance because the material is in the public domain or is itself published under GFDL.
In the first case, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and relicense them in any way you like. However, you can never retract the GFDL license for the copies of materials that you place here; these copies will remain under GFDL until they enter the public domain.
In the second case, if you incorporate external GFDL materials, as a requirement of the GFDL, you need to acknowledge the authorship and provide a link back to the network location of the original copy.

If you obtained the image from the copyright holder, then you need to have the original copyright holder agree to release their work under the GFDL license (or into the public domain). The copyright holder must send a letter of permission to the Wikimedia Foundation. Full details and a sample letter of permission are available here. Thanks, Gwernol 03:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Masthead1.jpg

Image:Masthead1.jpg fails the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, specifically the minimal use outlined in #3. The image is a complete masthead from the OA website and includes three logos. The OA was granted limited permission to use the Forest Service logo in this context.[2] --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 12:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Masthead1.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Masthead1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] WikiProject Firearms

Welcome to the WikiProject Firearms. I hope you enjoy being a member.--LWF (talk) 20:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 5 O'Clock Charlie

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Jnelson09 (talk) 04:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you. --Jnelson09 (talk) 04:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I can't see much of a difference. But I don't want to get kicked off, so I will leave it at this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnelson09 (talkcontribs) 23:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The problem is the rewrite tag you removed was placed there after you changed the article, so there is at least one editor who considers that it still needs to be rewritten after your changes. Gwernol 13:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
That's not quite what I am saying. You made your edits on Feb 1 [3]. Two days later, Jnelson09 added the rewrite tag [4] which indicates that despite your changes the article needs further rewriting. Jnelson09 did not undo your changes, he merely tagged the article as needing more work. You then removed the notability tag [5] from the article (why?) and then the rewrite tag [6], and have continued to remove the rewrite tags even though they are asking for a rewrite in addition to the changes you made. Gwernol 14:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An FA request?

I'm not good at writing articles, but I'll try when i get a chance. Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 03:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal fighting

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Twin Falls High School: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. When you revert without placing succesive levels of warnings on the vandal's talk page, it means they get away with more vandalism incidents before a block than would otherwise be the case. {{subst:uw-vandalism2}} might be an appropriate one for User talk:Dariomandura‎ whose vandalism you reverted. Thanks again for your efforts to keep vandalism out of articles. Edison (talk) 17:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Torchwood

May I ask why you are reverting an admin's edit without an edit summary? --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 17:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The previous editor added content in a character section that was very little about the character and more about the plot. If it belongs anywhere, it belongs in the episode article because it tells us nothing about the character; this is plain policy from WP:MOS#FICT. I am therefore going to revert your edit. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 17:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AFA candidate

Its getting pretty hairy by me; I've got admits to a few other schools with ROTC but the academy would be so much better. Good luck to you as well; any ideas what you'd like to do once do after the zoo? RideABicycle | Talk | 03:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I was talking about what you're thinking of doing in the service. I can't really imagine someone not wanting to fly more than anything else; but thats just me. My plan straight up is to fly Raptors, its pretty simple really. RideABicycle | Talk | 00:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
they offered me a spot at the prep school. i dont think i'm going to take it, i'd rather go to Cornell which accepted me and do rotc. i probably wont get a jet but whatever i'm not going to college for 6 years. RideABicycle | Talk | 17:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I would just like to say thanks for reverting the vandalism on my User page. ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 19:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disturbed: ?...

There was no ref to this Daniel Miller person; it could very likely be some bored little kid adding him to the band's lineup. 21655 ταλκ/01ҁ 17:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Adopt Me

Sorry, I'm not in the adoption biz anymore. I'm not active enough here at the moment or the foreseeable future to adopt anyone either, nor was I very good at it anyways. Take a look at the adoption program to see people who are actively adopting. Good luck! MECUtalk 12:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
