[edit] Your signature, and Queer people of color

Hey Morgan, a couple things. I noticed you went back to the AfD nom for Queer people of color and changed some of the capitalization. If you go to your preferences, you can change the capitalization there so it always comes out as you want it (or you can get really crazy and change the color, font, put in links, etc.). Thought you'd like to know.

I also wanted to say something about your comment that deletion of Queer people of color would amount to bigotry. As the editor who nominated this article for deletion, I won't take your comment personally, but do hope you understand how i could easily take those comments to mean that I'm a bigot. Oftentimes discussions on Wikipedia can get heated and so it's important to keep a cool head; I hope that in the future you choose to use less inflammatory language.

Anyway, while we don't see eye to eye on the deletion of this article, I do hope that, regardless of the outcome of this AfD, we can collaborate in the future. Please let me know if I can help you with anything, be it technical, content-oriented, or admin-duty-related. Truly, JDoorjam Talk 02:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Its important for the sustenance of level-headed discussion not to dissect words as character assassination but to underscore what the proposed act of deletion really stands for in the given context. There are users that add peoples' names hardly categorized as a notable or historical figure(for example, a singer of a garage band whose career fell short after a couple of years), slang words/phrases(*there is abundant intellectualizing over the word "yo"- which also gets tossed into the controversy as arbitrarily taking up space), that are left unbothered. If an organization was called Queer People of Color how would that affect its nomination for being characterized as an "appropriate" encyclopedic definition? The reiterated "its just a term" response shows indication that those who are people of color exist and acknowledge it as self-identification and a strategic means to anti-colonialism and community building, queer people of color do not or have not done anything to make a mark for themselves to be recognized as an oppressed group of people. This arrival itself is censorship and oppression of voice. Anarkafrica 16:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recreations

You have recently created Template:User userbox deleted. This was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not recreate the article: if you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Dmcdevit·t 08:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Card game user templates

Well, they are not deleted yet, but that is the plan. However, if you have game specific images, I am very interested. I can add them to the master template. Also, I can give you a little gift to help with making your user page a bit more interesting where the card game user templates are concerned. Interested?

PS. I don't consider my user page fancy, I have seen a lot of user pages here, and mine is a bit plain by comparison. If you want to have the user infobox I have on the right hand side of my user page, let me know. I can help you get it. If there is anything else on my user page that you like, tell me and I will help you get it done on yours. I don't mind letting people copy me. :) - LA @ 07:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

I noticed you created the page 41 shots and marked the edit as minor. You may want to go back and re-read when to mark an edit as minor, since page creation is definitely not listed. Natalie 15:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! That was an oversight on my part. I'll be more careful next time. - Morganfitzp 20:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, everybody screws up sometimes. Natalie 20:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright licensing of Image:Cantastoria korea.jpg

I noticed you did not indicate the copyright status of Image:Cantastoria korea.jpg. If you know it, could you please place a copyright tag on it? The image page says the author released it, but does not indicate whether the author released it under a license or into the public domain. --Strangerer (Talk) 18:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I added something. Please let me know if I did it right. Morganfitzp 05:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:EdBrown JimCopp.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EdBrown JimCopp.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) 07:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] interested in the Portuguese-speaking world

Hi. I'm Beth, known on Wikipedia as Learnportuguese. I am very interested in the Portuguese language and the Portuguese-speaking world. The whole concept of saudade is fascinating. If you want, chek out my user page and talk page and put a watch on both. I have very interesting discussions there. You are very welcome to contribute. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 16:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tip, but please do not reply

Posting major contributions and marking them as minor edits is not a good practice. I thought I'd let you know. It makes it harder to find your messages. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
