The Brian Roberts page looks terrific. You've been paid accordingly (and I added your initialization amount, too -- everyone gets 20 wikis for just being a part of the community, pretty cool, huh?) -- Matty j 02:57, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC) Regarding Welteislehre. Simply being false is not enough reason to call something a pseudoscience. That would at least take some persistence in its defence after contradictory evidence has been presented. In Hörbiger's time the means for proving or disproving the theory were not available. The claim that something is a pseudoscience (usually BTW written in one word in English), is the positive assertion that needs evidence. How does one distinguish between pseudoscience and what is merely an unporoven or unproveable theory? Many theories have been put forth over the centuries, and were eventually dropped when required by the evidence. Most of us who object to the characterization of something as pseudoscience, do not go so far as to claim that the practice or study in question is a valid one. Eclecticology 21:16, 2004 Apr 14 (UTC) Germans[edit]I've for long (a year, actually) been itched by the way Wikipedia-links are done with often sloppy distinctions between nationality, citizenship and ethnicity (with regard to persons) and also between nations and countries. This is particularly obvious in the case of people or entities that are denoted as German. A link to the Federal Republic of Germany is often outright unhistorical and wrong, but this has until now been the most usual. That's why I'm considering an article on Germans, which I've started at the temporary location User:Ruhrjung/Germans. I would wish to avoid too much of edit wars after having started to link to the article. In particular, I would not wish to see the current disputes over German-Polish matters automatically extend also to this article, why I kindly ask you for comments now, in advance, in order to try to find wordings acceptable to as many as possible of concerned wikipedians. I look forward to your comments at User talk:Ruhrjung/Germans. Vocabulary Project[edit]Hi there, since I saw you registered as a translator I would like to know if you are interested in this. I have written a program for learning vocabulary. It is based on the belief that it is best to learn foreign words by learning typical sentences. I currently have files in English, French (with sound), Spanish, and Portuguese, Catalan is in the planning. The program can also be used for learning other stuff that works with the question/answer scheme, e.g. the theory for the driving licence or anatomy. It also uses images and sound files for alternation and in order to work on the pronunciation. If you are interested please check my page and let me know.

Your user name
[edit]Could you please explain your user name? We have a policy against offensive user names, and I'm just trying to get clear what your name is supposed to mean. Thanks. RickK 05:14, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)
OK, thanks for replying. Don't be surprised if others ask, though. :) RickK 06:30, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)
vfd
[edit]Hi there. It seems like you have a quick hand in putting articles up for vfd. Just to remind you, articles can be edited and you could put up a message like {{NPOV}} and {{cleanup}}. I am sure people are just as willing to 'help out' an article then, as they are when you put it on vfd. Yardcock 19:45, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what article you are referring to. If you are responding to my summaries that say "Not a candidate for speedy deletion - please list on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion if appropriate" then you are looking at the message I use when someone has listed an article for speedy deletion when it is not a valid candidate. Occassionally, I will move that article to VfD because I can see that the request has merit but it still does not qualify for speedy deletion. Does that help? - Tεxτurε 19:51, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I am referring to several messages on your talk pages in general and the article on Mary Cheney in particular. The 'lack of NPOV' was an honest mistake by a serious wikipedia member and the article was not supposed to be an advertising.
- Point out specific items on my talk page if you wish to discuss them. Mary Cheney has improved over the original. It was originally phrased as an advertisement solely supporting the one site and not addressing the individual for that person's own merit. I do not agree with rewarding any article focused on a single web site rather than the topic of the article. In my opinion, it is still not an article about Mary Cheney but rather an article about this one position she has taken that the site is against. If it remains I hope it will improve. - Tεxτurε 20:24, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi. Please see my latest post on Talk:2004 European Football Championship Mintguy (T) 18:54, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
EU medal count
[edit]As I keep saying, the count is invalid because the EU is not competing as a country, and therefore they have more participants than would be allowed if they competed as a single team. RickK 22:15, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
- right! It is good argument. But I very like that page and see it useful. :)
- Dear Yardcock I fully accept your proper remark about Template:2004_Summer_Olympics_medal_count , but please dont call me vandal! :) Liso 22:08, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Just because the article acknowledges that the count is bogus, doesn't mean it shouldn't be deleted. RickK 22:30, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)

Robert Lindsay
[edit]I've noticed that you recently moved the content from Robert Lindsay to Robert Lindsay (actor) to make room for a disambiguation page. While it is acceptable to move pages, it is generally frowned upon to do so through copy and pasting, as it doesn't retain the page history (see Renaming (moving) a page). In the future, please move pages using the move function located at the top of the page, and then change the resulting redirect to a disambiguation page afterward. Thanks. - MattTM 02:00, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
- I would have done so. However the original page included information about all three individuals. So rather than moving it to one particular article, I split it up in three different articles. If there is a better way to do that, please advise. [[User:Yardcock|Yardcock | talk]] 06:55, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
- In situations such as that, it would probably be best to keep the edit history with whichever section of the article has the most text (the actor part), and move with rest manually with a note in the edit summary of the new locations. I'm not sure if there's a solid rule on this, but it's how I would do it. Take care. - MattTM 07:20, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
Category:Cities in Sweden
[edit]Hello! Nice work with the Cities in Sweden. The main reason why very few cities are listed there, or are alternatively listed, is that cities does not exist as separate administrative entities in Sweden. Currently all articles with "city names" are stubs for municipality articles and as such listed in that category. One sollution could be to separate municipalities and cities into different articles, but before that happens we might contend ourself with the fact that name of category is properly formatted. Cheers. -- Mic 21:04, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the move, I had probably made some blunder (opened the list of municipalities and memorized it was the full list of cities). Now thanks to your help, we are done with the "Cities of ..." series --French Tourist 21:17, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hey! I've created this new notice board specifically for articles related to people from the U.S. South. If you are interested in contributing, leave a message on the page and add articles you feel need to be reviewed, contributed to, or started. Mike H 21:09, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
[edit]Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
Thanks for uploading the image
I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the image and I'll tag it for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 01:11, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Howdy! I'm contacting you because your name is listed as a participant in Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball players. The project seems to be dormant, but I'm interested in starting it up again.

Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Germany is being replaced by a category
[edit]Hello! You were listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Germany page as living in or being associated with Germany. As part of the Wikipedia:User categorisation project, these lists are being replaced with user categories. If you would like to add yourself to the category that is replacing the page, or one of the Bundesland-based subcategories, please visit Category:Wikipedians in Germany for instructions. --Angr (tɔk) 15:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello, mate, I see that you are interested in Eurovision. Would you like to be involved in connecting with more eurovision wikipedians to do up the eurovision pages in a more coherent manner? I have come across the Eurovision wikiproject page, which seems to have been dormant for over two years. It may be an idea to have a look there and see how we could improve the eurovision coverage. I have done up the Congratulations (Eurovision) page so far and put notes about it on the pages of those who performed there. Best regards from Australia, Blnguyen 06:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:USA_Baseball.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:USA_Baseball.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 19:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 19:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:EritreaNOC.JPG)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:EritreaNOC.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 8 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.

Fair use rationale for File:2004 College World Series Poster.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:2004 College World Series Poster.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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.

I hope to be as "invisible" as possible. Please feel free to message and correct me as the occasion warrants Dumboldboy (talk) 19:34, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Please do! I just started the page but have limited time, so any help is very welcome. There are a few regular contributors to GC articles.
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
