Hi, regarding your removal of "Webiscite", it is NOT a copyright infringement as I have given full free license to wikimedia and I disagree that it is advertisement.

We often find ourselves espousing opposing viewpoints (as can be seen from userboxes)... However, I just wanted to write a note and tell you that I very much appreciate that your edits are generally quite npov and the fact that you seek consensus on talk pages before adding stuff to articles. Although we disagree, I have to say that you are in a completely separate category in my mind than other editors who share your views that I have come in contact with. Thank you for your integrity.

The Deadspin article is a reliable source considering that it sources its info from NBC29 below at the bottom of the article - the local news venue for Charlottesville, VA. If that's not acceptable, here are additional citations: http://www.nbc29.com/global/story.asp?s=10196502 http://www.newsplex.com/news/headlines/37299414.html
Kyle also did leave FSU for academic reasons and does attend the JC in Calfiornia. See citations below: http://www.saddleback.edu/athletics/football/10klong.html
Second, the lacrosse video is an OFFICIAL video put out by the athletic department of UVA. Dom Starsia, notes that Howie was not in school last semester and is in school now. Additionally, he says that he has personal and academic issues. He also notes that Howie is no longer a part of the program. Here is the additional back up for his removal form the team etc: http://www.virginiasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=17800&ATCLID=205087511.
What else is wrong with the posting? It is documented. These items are true. Please respond.

Wikipedia is not a place for fighting the college rivalry wars or for writing attack articles about people you don't like. If you want to learn about our core content policies, I suggest reading WP:5P and WP:NPOV. You should also be aware that repeatedly reverting for reasons other than removing vandalism or BLP violations is considered edit warring and is prohibited. In particular, the three-revert rule calls for users who revert for reasons other than removing vandalism or BLP violations more than 3 times in a 24-hour period to be blocked. -- B ( talk) 02:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
With all due respect:
1. The NBC29 link does pertain to Howie, Sr. under the family section. It is fair to note this. There is nothing in the terms that say otherwise. They are not minors. This is freedom of speech and is adequately sourced as you noted. He was convicted of a DUI and he was arrested. Additionally, he does attend Saddleback College.
2. Hardly a source for this? Virginiasports.com is a direct and official website of the University of Virginia. It is fair to say he is not the team, when it says "he won't be with the team this season" and when Head Coach Dom Starsia notes that he is re-enrolled in school and he is off the team for personal and academic reasons. He's the head coach, its the official video for UVA athletics. Its not a knock off. That is fair game. Additionally, here is an article stating that Kyle "fell behind academically" from a local newspaper: http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2009/jan/08/kyle_long_to_leave_florida_state-ar-76158/. Who is to say it is inappropriate? Do you erase the part about Ted Kennedy's accident on the bridge because it is inappropriate? I mean where do you draw the line. This is confirmed and sourced information.
3. Yes, I have the copyright to that photo.
4. This isn't a college rivalry. It is an addition to the family section of Howie Sr.'s biography. I agree that the information needs to be sourced and I have provided the sources for the information. You can also check the Virginia Sports statistics that note that Howie played at the end of 4 games. I will erase the other content, but the rest I feel meets the terms of use. Vasports ( talk) 02:33, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi B. I've no problem at all with your modification of the heading. But, WP:Merge says: "Many times, a hybrid discussion/straw poll is used, though remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. If that is used, normally !votes (a preference to support or oppose an action with an additional comment; not necessarily a pure "vote") are formatted...." That's where I got the word "vote" from.

Thanks so much for your help with the block; every blocked user thinks they've been done wrong, and it has so much more impact coming from someone other than the blockee.

The organisation has gained much media attention in the printed press in the south of the UK. One such article can be found here: http://www.petersfieldpost.co.uk/news/bordon/online_anti_bullying_campaign_launched_1_1996104 The http://dot429.com/articles/2010/12/16/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states and http://sdgln.com/causes/2010/12/24/respect-protest-anti-bullying-beyond-united-states are written by the smae author and do contain some subtle differances, it apears that the journalist works for both organisations but only conducted one interview. http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/10/Dec/3101.htm is also a news site with many articles relating to the orginisation. Spirit FM and RadioReverb, both radio stations in the south of the UK have also interviewed the organisation, http://www.spiritfm.net/news/review.php?article=340505 was an article showing this, however, is no longer avalible but http://www.radioreverb.com/index.php?id=107 still is. Although some of the articles cannot necessarily be proven to be notable media the vast volume of articles displayed when 'GRIN Campapign' is typed into Google is clear evidence of the notability of the campaign.

The onscreen credits of a film are acceptable even as a primary source of cast and attribution, as readers are able to verify what is attributed. The onscreen credits acknowledge that narration was provided by Richard Dix and that dramatic sequences were provided by the included cast of persons, as well as by members and staff of the Ronald Bruce Nippon Assoc., and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Hallmark Films,Inc. credited as studio within the opening 18 seconds, and "members and staff of the Ronald Bruce Nippon Assoc., and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania" appear in the onscreen credits role after 19 minutes That said, I also found a review of the DVD compilation by Digitally Obsessed [2] which made special note that ABC of Sex Education for Trainables "was produced by Planned Parenthood to train teachers..." and apparently this is repeated by the numerous reviews of The Educational Archives: Volume 1—Sex & Drugs which also speak toward the film.

Kind odd having to do this, asking an admin a second time to do a partial self-revert so that they are no longer breaking 1RR and using a misleading edit summary. When you made your second revert to Jerusalem yesterday, you not only reverted the edit by the banned user, but you also reverted over this edit by me. If you had only reverted the edits of the banned user you would have gone back to this version by User:Seb az86556. So, does this need to go further, or are you going to fix your mistake?

Re "In the real-world justice system, we have a prosecution, defense, and then an impartial judge and jury" Leaving aside the usual mis-identification of Wikipedia DR with a legal proceeding, the system you're describing is (I believe) unique to medieval England and its descendants (including the US). I liked the movie Z, about a judicial investigation set in Greece.

My predicament is that I stay 600 km from the place which this language is spoken in and we don't have relatives there. I stay in Bombay. Konkani is the official language of the state of Goa which is 600km south of Bombay. My native place is Mangalore, Karnataka which is another 800km south of Goa, where Konkani is not recognised; so we are an unrecognised linguistic minority. My ancestors fled from Goa to Mangalore when the lusitanisation of Goa began in the 1600's. The only remnant of our Goan heritage is the Konkani language, which was nearly annihilated by the Portuguese conquistadors. This text book is part of a recent undertaking by the state Govt. of Goa to revive Konkani and hence it is a proud moment for us all. I tried looking on the internet for a suitable image but this was the only image I could find. This image is critical to convey the idea behind the article.

Concerning your faulty reason removing the prod from Michael Kantor (ice hockey) - the first prod was a BLPPROD which is removed with the addition of even a single reference.

Hi B, I'm a member of WikiProject Olympics, Multi-sport events, Sport,etc in nutshell I'm mostly active on Sport related articles. Since last few weeks I'm concentrating towards MSEs like Asian Games and Commonwealth Games; for this I'm creating new articles, working on them for FLC, GAC and FAC, categorizing them with new categories, working with files on Commons, created a new portal for Asian Games and operating it, etc. My point is, as I have interest in Asian and Commonwealth Games, I wanted to make a portal for Commonwealth Games also, but I found one and shocked to see that it doesn't have a single edit since July 9, 2008, then I found that it was nominated for MfD and some user who endorsed for keeping it said " It would wake up when the next Games come along", but now it has been seven months [since, last 2010 Commonwealth Games finished] and still no one cares of this portal. So I've made up my mind to resurrect it, for that I want a fresh start and want to create it from base. So I'm wondering if you could delete it so that I may create a new one and work on it, because it would be very difficult for me to work on existing one, please let me know what you think on this, thanks. — Bill william compton Talk 20:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you deleted the article on Paul Pogba for the reason: (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content).I don't know if the previous article covered the controversy regarding his transfer from Le Havre to Manchester United or not, but if not, I'd like to offer that as the reasoning for the subjects significance.
The controversy was widely reported in the press, for example on the BBC, in The Guardianand Sky Sports News amongst others. Whilst an article for a football player of his standing should generally speaking be deleted, as he doesn't qualify under the appearances ruling, I'd argue that the transfer received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and as such it would qualify as an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diluted Dante ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank's for posting the information and you may also notice that WP is a big place and there are other people who have other opinion on the interpretation of the fair use rules, policies and deletion of files than yourself. With the enacting of the DMCA there is greater freedom to create valuable content especially for educational purpose. I would have just preferred that you would have started a FFD discussion as Magog the Ogre suggested so the deletion could have been based on community consensus. Did you actually someone put a speedy deletion tag on image and you deleted it so that there were at least 2 people who took part in the process? We may should think over to change the procedures. In my opinion there was not that strong urgency for deletion that would not have allowed for a deletion debate in the relevant forum.

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 19:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Do you read and understand Hebrew? I can only assume not since you have deleted my amendments.
There is simply no legitimate dispute over the meaning of the Hebrew word "Alma". The word is correctly rendered (in English) as "young woman". As with the other "controversial" aspects of the Christian translation in this verse, a simple glance at the Hebrew shows that the correct translation is "behold the young woman is pregnant and will give birth to a son and she will call his name Emmanuel". It is not biased to highlight what is correct and incorrect, unless you wish to assert that it is reasonable to translate words to mean whatever you want them to mean. ( Philosophystephen ( talk) 08:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC))
Sorry there is a distinction between facts and opinions. In any case, how is the average reader who neither reads nor understands Hebrew supposed to draw a meaningful conclusion without further detail? Leaving the two translations without further explanation is essentially misleading because an uninformed reader may mistakenly believe that the two translations have equal validity. Misleading readers isn't really what an encyclopedia is about.
Honestly, I am puzzled as to why you were able to tell me about the relevance of the Septuagint in forming the Christian translation but thought removing my amendment a more appropriate course of action than adding a sentence or two which sheds light on the Christian translation of this verse. Perhaps you are not always happy for readers to draw their own conclusions?
In any case, your point about the Septuagint is not valid (or relevant in some respects). Firstly, the Septuagint in its current form is a Christian document so its unsurprising to find that it agrees with Matthew's gospel. Secondly, the word parthenos can mean both 'virgin' and 'young woman'. For example, the Septuagint uses the word parthenos when translating Genesis 34 in reference to Dinah after she has been raped. How exactly is this unquestionable? Finally, this only relates to the issue of how to translate the word 'alma' it doesn't explain the dropping of the definite article or changing the word "she will call" to "they will call".

Seems ur a stuburn bunch of people who are rather more interested by rules then to take the opportunity to learn from other peoples' knowledge and experience. Pitty. But hey here we go for some arguments... the reason I do this lies not in the fact that this situation (and article) was so worldshocking, but to me and i am sure to mst off the other passengers a board it was an experience which we will not easy forget... no wonder if you think about the fact we landed on double speed and the knowledge that if the plane should have lost momentum we would have crashed (to my impression, but that is only an impression both engines were not functioning 1/2 minute before landing. In relation to the former the high speed made sense to me as the plane was piloted with steep descent just with reason to keep momentum so we could get to the runway. My impression that both engines were out lies also in the logic we made a stalled landing as there was no engine power to lift the nose) The reason I know the names of the pilots is easy. Short after take of the commander talks to the passengers telling who they are and giving a description of route, time, weather etc. - second me, my husband and a Steward in business (called Henry) have been helping all the time with the evacuation. After we jumped the emergency chutes first emergency exit at left (evacuation of business class passengers went very fast and smoothly), we ran to the middle emergency chute to catch people at the end of the chute so it could be fastly cleared when other passengers jumped and to avoid people to be hurt by falling on high speed on the tarmac. Passengers were directed to the end of the grassfield (about 300 m further) on the left side of the plane. After a (long) time buses came to pick us up. Me and my husband were still with two people of the crew (we helped with) talking about the happenings so I asked confirmation of the names of the pilots to them with the request to forward us their gratitude and compliments. They didnt do anything more then their job and damn a hell of good job. Taking into account the situation they saved lives as circumstances were there we could have crashed. So again here is your source... not from copy and paste articles, nor hearsay but first source. And then I think to myself, who do you think u are to undo every time my adding on a mediaforum which is free ?. Who are you to judge what is important or what can be written in an article ?. I am sure it wouldnt bounce in ur head one microsecond to delete the name of Capt Sully from the article of US Airways Flight 1549.Well these australian guys bringing our plane to save landing were not less Gimme a reply on ann.higuet@refaco.nl I will send u even pictures which were taken right after evacuation and proof I was on that flight.

Hi. I have noticed that you have uploaded a lot of images and would like to take a minute to ask you a few questions about them. I notice that you have stated that you are the author/copyright holder of these images. Do you mean by this, that in each case, you, personally, clicked the button on the camera that took the picture? Merely scanning in the work of another or clipping an article from the newspaper does not give you the right to redistribute it. Also, for things like File:2005 Robert-Wickens-email-Christian-Boudon .jpg or File:1988 New-Racing-Concept 20.jpg, the copyright belongs to whoever wrote the letter, not to the person in physical possession of it. Do you have the permission of the individuals who wrote the letters to upload them here? I notice that File:2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic .jpg was previously published at http://www.kartmag.fr/apprendre-la-course-automobile-avec-christian-boudon/ . As a matter of policy, Wikipedia must have a statement of permission on file in order to keep any image that was previously published elsewhere. This is for your protection - it prevents someone from falsely claiming to "donate" your photos to Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information. The short version is that if you could send a letter to permissions-en@wikimedia.org with a letter similar to Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries (1) telling who you are and, if applicable, who you are working for, (2) affirming that you are the copyright holder (or, if working for an organization that owns the copyright, affirming that they are the copyright holder and you have legal authority to speak on their behalf), and (3) stating that you agree to the terms of the license you have chosen, it would be appreciated. I realize that this may be very confusing, but again, please understand that it is because Wikipedia respects intellectual property and copyright and wants to ensure that your rights are protected by preventing someone from falsely submitting your intellectual property here. Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. --B (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Dear Sirs.
Regarding the matter below on the copyright, I can affirm that YES I have all the required authorizations for those pictures or documents.
The pictures and documents are from the special archives of Mr. Boudon Christian, and were taken by him, me or by his family, (mother, father, wife, daughter)
- The Robert Wickens email was sent by Wickens to Christian Boudon as an acknowledgement with right to use it the way he wanted and Christian Boudon gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish. - The New Racing document was written by Christian Boudon when he was the owner of this company, and he gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish. - The 2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic was taken by Boudon’s wife in Laguna Seca after Mertins race and Christian Boudon gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish. He used this picture in other different articles but this picture is his.
Thank you very much for taking care of those legal matters, I might make mistakes but for now I keep it under the rules and advices of Wikipedia. I am waiting to hear from you soon . Jp..baudrand ( talk) 13:54, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

About " Also, for things like File:2005 Robert-Wickens-email-Christian-Boudon .jpg or File:1988 New-Racing-Concept 20.jpg, the copyright belongs to whoever wrote the letter " I couldn't be more explicit in my email to OTRS. I am presently working at Mr. Boudon office and have the original email from Robert Wickens saved in his external hard disk...about the New Racing Concept letter, Mr. Christian Boudon is named in the second paragraphe, second line as the owner that would be glad to receive customers...that cannot be more explicit...
If those documents cannot be copyright can you please delete them from the Web as the Formula One driver Robert Wickens is named in clear words and that the New Racin Concept document contains the official numbers of the New Racing Company that could be used by others, thank you in advance.
Regarding " I notice that File:2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic .jpg was previously published " yes it was because Mr. Boudon sent that picture to help an article in a French magazine...I made it clear Mr. Boudon gave me the rights to publish his material in my email to OTRS...again, if the copyright cannot be established can you please delete this picture from the web?

MastCell Talk 19:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I was surprised (as I think a lot of people were) by the weakness of the Republican field this year. I think that for all the talk about Obama's vulnerability, a lot of potential GOP candidates calculated that he's still a formidable politician (and an incumbent), and the Democratic ranks are pretty thin behind him - so they have much better odds in 2016. I suspect you'll see all of those people - Daniels, Jindal, Pawlenty, Chris Christie - throw their hats in the ring in 2016. They're keeping their powder dry, which of course left the 2012 field with a bunch of frankly somewhat risible characters. Romney was probably the only credible candidate among them.
I don't doubt Romney's business acumen, but I also don't see that business acumen is necessarily all that relevant for a President. Presiding over the national economy is just very different from running a business, and I think it's dangerous to conflate the two. The most highly qualified business leader to become President in the last 100 years was Herbert Hoover, and he drew all the wrong conclusions from his meteoric success in the corporate world. If you're a household, or a business, facing a major deficit, then of course it makes sense to cut spending as a primary approach. But those are open systems, where money will continue to come in from outside your household or business. If you cut spending at the national level in a recession, you take money out of circulation in a (relatively) closed system, which isn't going to help you get out of the recession. Admittedly, I'm not an economist, but that principle (articulated more effectively by economists like Paul Krugman) makes sense to me.
The problem is that the Republican base demands zero tax increases as absolute dogma. Right now, the dominant Republican economic proposal seems to be to cut billions in spending aimed at the poorest and most vulnerable Americans, while refusing to raise taxes by a cent on the wealthy. Are we really that kind of country? I can accept the conservative idea that we need to cut spending, but it seems utterly lacking in any sort of political or moral courage to exempt the Pentagon from those budget cuts, for example, and to ask the most vulnerable to bear virtually the entire burden.
Besides which, if there's one lesson from the Great Depression, it's that we can't simply cut our way out of this recession. And that's the problem with Romney. It would take someone with substantial political courage to stand up to the more extreme wing of the Republican Party and its unrealistic demands for massive spending cuts with zero revenue increase. I think we both know that political courage is not exactly Romney's forte.
I'm not sure I share your low opinion of Obama's economic policies - the auto bailout is probably the most prominent example of an instance where he acted against essentially universal Republican opposition with an incredibly positive result. Of course he could have done better, but I'm willing to cut him some slack because - in my view - he inherited an economy whose fundamentals had essentially been destroyed by a combination of external factors (the worldwide recession) and incredibly inept domestic policy. I don't think the economy would be better today if Obama had cut spending more aggressively, although of course that's my personal conjecture. I think he's done OK, within the constraints of a Congress determined to delay or block his every policy initiative.
I guess for me the main issues in this election aren't even economic, though. I work in a scientific field, and I don't see how anyone who values science as a human endeavor can vote for a party that seems to revel in anti-intellectualism and to view science as a suspicious, partisan left-wing enterprise. I can totally understand having different ideas about a public-policy response to climate change, but I can't understand the effort to demolish the scientific understanding of reality upon which any sane public policy would be based. And it's not just cast as a scientific disagreement - it seemed like the Republican presidential candidates were competing to see who could attribute the most nefarious and conspiratorial motivations to the scientific community. That's not even getting into the efforts to undermine the teaching of evolutionary biology, or the efforts to compel physicians to lie to their patients about the health risks of induced abortion. And it's not even getting into social issues more generally.
But sorry, I've said enough, and I appreciate your thoughtful and direct response. You're a very articulate and compelling exponent of your viewpoint, which is why I was interested in your thoughts on the election. Hope things are going well for you - it's always good to see your name pop up on my watchlist. :) Cheers. MastCell Talk 16:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, B!
Thanks for the positive input!
The tone of voice is beside the point, I think my arguments here are well laid-out. My point is that old logos are OK for WP articles - as I say, BBC and NBC are cases in point where there are full separate articles. Even without a separate article - e.g. the LA Clippers have all 3 of their logos in their article, and I could list a myriad of other articles here that have all of their old logos within the article text. I do believe galleries should be acceptable, especially as there is not so much to say about these particular 3 logos as to actually have an entire explanatory section on them, when the Vivacom article is, for the minute, clearly short - hence why I opted for the gallery view.
But did Stefan2 need to just a) delete them from the article and b.) nominate them for deletion from Wikipedia itself? Clearly not. He could have merely interspersed them as thumbnails along the right-hand side of the article, say, or asked me to do so. Right? I did initially think of that myself, but, entirely stylistically I thought gallery view looked better. I'm all for proposing it as a policy that galleries should be acceptable, precisely because in certain articles they appear better stylistically. But the logos themselves are part of the company history and all WP company articles do try to include all their past logos, where they can. BigSteve ( talk) 20:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

See what? There's nothing about The Twilight Zone on the page you gave a link to. Here's the whole story: On March 20, AldezD erroneously requested deletion of an image, I guess thinking that this article was about the original series. Then, Stefan2 makes an off-topic and irrelevant comment, evidently also thinking that the article was about the original series (which is why I changed the title to The Twilight Zone (franchise)). Then, after explaining it to AldezD, he moved it from the infobox to the section about the 1985 series. Which led me to say, "Issue resolved," which was the last thing said in the discussion, until all of a sudden you remove the image without being involved in the discussion.

Wikipedia is not a place for fighting the college rivalry wars or for writing attack articles about people you don't like. If you want to learn about our core content policies, I suggest reading WP:5P and WP:NPOV. You should also be aware that repeatedly reverting for reasons other than removing vandalism or BLP violations is considered edit warring and is prohibited. In particular, the three-revert rule calls for users who revert for reasons other than removing vandalism or BLP violations more than 3 times in a 24-hour period to be blocked. -- B ( talk) 02:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
With all due respect:
1. The NBC29 link does pertain to Howie, Sr. under the family section. It is fair to note this. There is nothing in the terms that say otherwise. They are not minors. This is freedom of speech and is adequately sourced as you noted. He was convicted of a DUI and he was arrested. Additionally, he does attend Saddleback College.
2. Hardly a source for this? Virginiasports.com is a direct and official website of the University of Virginia. It is fair to say he is not the team, when it says "he won't be with the team this season" and when Head Coach Dom Starsia notes that he is re-enrolled in school and he is off the team for personal and academic reasons. He's the head coach, its the official video for UVA athletics. Its not a knock off. That is fair game. Additionally, here is an article stating that Kyle "fell behind academically" from a local newspaper: http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2009/jan/08/kyle_long_to_leave_florida_state-ar-76158/. Who is to say it is inappropriate? Do you erase the part about Ted Kennedy's accident on the bridge because it is inappropriate? I mean where do you draw the line. This is confirmed and sourced information.
3. Yes, I have the copyright to that photo.
4. This isn't a college rivalry. It is an addition to the family section of Howie Sr.'s biography. I agree that the information needs to be sourced and I have provided the sources for the information. You can also check the Virginia Sports statistics that note that Howie played at the end of 4 games. I will erase the other content, but the rest I feel meets the terms of use.

Hi B. I've no problem at all with your modification of the heading. But, WP:Merge says: "Many times, a hybrid discussion/straw poll is used, though remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. If that is used, normally !votes (a preference to support or oppose an action with an additional comment; not necessarily a pure "vote") are formatted...." That's where I got the word "vote" from.

The onscreen credits of a film are acceptable even as a primary source of cast and attribution, as readers are able to verify what is attributed. The onscreen credits acknowledge that narration was provided by Richard Dix and that dramatic sequences were provided by the included cast of persons, as well as by members and staff of the Ronald Bruce Nippon Assoc., and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Hallmark Films,Inc. credited as studio within the opening 18 seconds, and "members and staff of the Ronald Bruce Nippon Assoc., and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania" appear in the onscreen credits role after 19 minutes That said, I also found a review of the DVD compilation by Digitally Obsessed [2] which made special note that ABC of Sex Education for Trainables "was produced by Planned Parenthood to train teachers..." and apparently this is repeated by the numerous reviews of The Educational Archives: Volume 1—Sex & Drugs which also speak toward the film.

Kind odd having to do this, asking an admin a second time to do a partial self-revert so that they are no longer breaking 1RR and using a misleading edit summary. When you made your second revert to Jerusalem yesterday, you not only reverted the edit by the banned user, but you also reverted over this edit by me. If you had only reverted the edits of the banned user you would have gone back to this version by User:Seb az86556. So, does this need to go further, or are you going to fix your mistake?

My predicament is that I stay 600 km from the place which this language is spoken in and we don't have relatives there. I stay in Bombay. Konkani is the official language of the state of Goa which is 600km south of Bombay. My native place is Mangalore, Karnataka which is another 800km south of Goa, where Konkani is not recognised; so we are an unrecognised linguistic minority. My ancestors fled from Goa to Mangalore when the lusitanisation of Goa began in the 1600's. The only remnant of our Goan heritage is the Konkani language, which was nearly annihilated by the Portuguese conquistadors. This text book is part of a recent undertaking by the state Govt. of Goa to revive Konkani and hence it is a proud moment for us all. I tried looking on the internet for a suitable image but this was the only image I could find. This image is critical to convey the idea behind the article.

Hi B, I'm a member of WikiProject Olympics, Multi-sport events, Sport,etc in nutshell I'm mostly active on Sport related articles. Since last few weeks I'm concentrating towards MSEs like Asian Games and Commonwealth Games; for this I'm creating new articles, working on them for FLC, GAC and FAC, categorizing them with new categories, working with files on Commons, created a new portal for Asian Games and operating it, etc. My point is, as I have interest in Asian and Commonwealth Games, I wanted to make a portal for Commonwealth Games also, but I found one and shocked to see that it doesn't have a single edit since July 9, 2008, then I found that it was nominated for MfD and some user who endorsed for keeping it said " It would wake up when the next Games come along", but now it has been seven months [since, last 2010 Commonwealth Games finished] and still no one cares of this portal. So I've made up my mind to resurrect it, for that I want a fresh start and want to create it from base. So I'm wondering if you could delete it so that I may create a new one and work on it, because it would be very difficult for me to work on existing one, please let me know what you think on this, thanks. — Bill william compton Talk 20:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you deleted the article on Paul Pogba for the reason: (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content).I don't know if the previous article covered the controversy regarding his transfer from Le Havre to Manchester United or not, but if not, I'd like to offer that as the reasoning for the subjects significance.
The controversy was widely reported in the press, for example on the BBC, in The Guardianand Sky Sports News amongst others. Whilst an article for a football player of his standing should generally speaking be deleted, as he doesn't qualify under the appearances ruling, I'd argue that the transfer received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and as such it would qualify as an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diluted Dante ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank's for posting the information and you may also notice that WP is a big place and there are other people who have other opinion on the interpretation of the fair use rules, policies and deletion of files than yourself. With the enacting of the DMCA there is greater freedom to create valuable content especially for educational purpose. I would have just preferred that you would have started a FFD discussion as Magog the Ogre suggested so the deletion could have been based on community consensus. Did you actually someone put a speedy deletion tag on image and you deleted it so that there were at least 2 people who took part in the process? We may should think over to change the procedures. In my opinion there was not that strong urgency for deletion that would not have allowed for a deletion debate in the relevant forum.

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

Do you read and understand Hebrew? I can only assume not since you have deleted my amendments.
There is simply no legitimate dispute over the meaning of the Hebrew word "Alma". The word is correctly rendered (in English) as "young woman". As with the other "controversial" aspects of the Christian translation in this verse, a simple glance at the Hebrew shows that the correct translation is "behold the young woman is pregnant and will give birth to a son and she will call his name Emmanuel". It is not biased to highlight what is correct and incorrect, unless you wish to assert that it is reasonable to translate words to mean whatever you want them to mean. ( Philosophystephen ( talk) 08:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC))
Sorry there is a distinction between facts and opinions. In any case, how is the average reader who neither reads nor understands Hebrew supposed to draw a meaningful conclusion without further detail? Leaving the two translations without further explanation is essentially misleading because an uninformed reader may mistakenly believe that the two translations have equal validity. Misleading readers isn't really what an encyclopedia is about.
Honestly, I am puzzled as to why you were able to tell me about the relevance of the Septuagint in forming the Christian translation but thought removing my amendment a more appropriate course of action than adding a sentence or two which sheds light on the Christian translation of this verse. Perhaps you are not always happy for readers to draw their own conclusions?
In any case, your point about the Septuagint is not valid (or relevant in some respects). Firstly, the Septuagint in its current form is a Christian document so its unsurprising to find that it agrees with Matthew's gospel. Secondly, the word parthenos can mean both 'virgin' and 'young woman'. For example, the Septuagint uses the word parthenos when translating Genesis 34 in reference to Dinah after she has been raped. How exactly is this unquestionable? Finally, this only relates to the issue of how to translate the word 'alma' it doesn't explain the dropping of the definite article or changing the word "she will call" to "they will call".

Seems ur a stuburn bunch of people who are rather more interested by rules then to take the opportunity to learn from other peoples' knowledge and experience. Pitty. But hey here we go for some arguments... the reason I do this lies not in the fact that this situation (and article) was so worldshocking, but to me and i am sure to mst off the other passengers a board it was an experience which we will not easy forget... no wonder if you think about the fact we landed on double speed and the knowledge that if the plane should have lost momentum we would have crashed (to my impression, but that is only an impression both engines were not functioning 1/2 minute before landing. In relation to the former the high speed made sense to me as the plane was piloted with steep descent just with reason to keep momentum so we could get to the runway. My impression that both engines were out lies also in the logic we made a stalled landing as there was no engine power to lift the nose) The reason I know the names of the pilots is easy. Short after take of the commander talks to the passengers telling who they are and giving a description of route, time, weather etc. - second me, my husband and a Steward in business (called Henry) have been helping all the time with the evacuation. After we jumped the emergency chutes first emergency exit at left (evacuation of business class passengers went very fast and smoothly), we ran to the middle emergency chute to catch people at the end of the chute so it could be fastly cleared when other passengers jumped and to avoid people to be hurt by falling on high speed on the tarmac. Passengers were directed to the end of the grassfield (about 300 m further) on the left side of the plane. After a (long) time buses came to pick us up. Me and my husband were still with two people of the crew (we helped with) talking about the happenings so I asked confirmation of the names of the pilots to them with the request to forward us their gratitude and compliments. They didnt do anything more then their job and damn a hell of good job. Taking into account the situation they saved lives as circumstances were there we could have crashed. So again here is your source... not from copy and paste articles, nor hearsay but first source. And then I think to myself, who do you think u are to undo every time my adding on a mediaforum which is free ?. Who are you to judge what is important or what can be written in an article ?. I am sure it wouldnt bounce in ur head one microsecond to delete the name of Capt Sully from the article of US Airways Flight 1549.Well these australian guys bringing our plane to save landing were not less Gimme a reply on ann.higuet@refaco.nl I will send u even pictures which were taken right after evacuation and proof I was on that flight.

Hi. I have noticed that you have uploaded a lot of images and would like to take a minute to ask you a few questions about them. I notice that you have stated that you are the author/copyright holder of these images. Do you mean by this, that in each case, you, personally, clicked the button on the camera that took the picture? Merely scanning in the work of another or clipping an article from the newspaper does not give you the right to redistribute it. Also, for things like File:2005 Robert-Wickens-email-Christian-Boudon .jpg or File:1988 New-Racing-Concept 20.jpg, the copyright belongs to whoever wrote the letter, not to the person in physical possession of it. Do you have the permission of the individuals who wrote the letters to upload them here? I notice that File:2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic .jpg was previously published at http://www.kartmag.fr/apprendre-la-course-automobile-avec-christian-boudon/ . As a matter of policy, Wikipedia must have a statement of permission on file in order to keep any image that was previously published elsewhere. This is for your protection - it prevents someone from falsely claiming to "donate" your photos to Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information. The short version is that if you could send a letter to permissions-en@wikimedia.org with a letter similar to Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries (1) telling who you are and, if applicable, who you are working for, (2) affirming that you are the copyright holder (or, if working for an organization that owns the copyright, affirming that they are the copyright holder and you have legal authority to speak on their behalf), and (3) stating that you agree to the terms of the license you have chosen, it would be appreciated. I realize that this may be very confusing, but again, please understand that it is because Wikipedia respects intellectual property and copyright and wants to ensure that your rights are protected by preventing someone from falsely submitting your intellectual property here. Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. --B (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the matter below on the copyright, I can affirm that YES I have all the required authorizations for those pictures or documents.
The pictures and documents are from the special archives of Mr. Boudon Christian, and were taken by him, me or by his family, (mother, father, wife, daughter)
- The Robert Wickens email was sent by Wickens to Christian Boudon as an acknowledgement with right to use it the way he wanted and Christian Boudon gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish. - The New Racing document was written by Christian Boudon when he was the owner of this company, and he gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish. - The 2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic was taken by Boudon’s wife in Laguna Seca after Mertins race and Christian Boudon gave it to me as a part of his archives with the right to publish.

About " Also, for things like File:2005 Robert-Wickens-email-Christian-Boudon .jpg or File:1988 New-Racing-Concept 20.jpg, the copyright belongs to whoever wrote the letter " I couldn't be more explicit in my email to OTRS. I am presently working at Mr. Boudon office and have the original email from Robert Wickens saved in his external hard disk...about the New Racing Concept letter, Mr. Christian Boudon is named in the second paragraphe, second line as the owner that would be glad to receive customers...that cannot be more explicit...
If those documents cannot be copyright can you please delete them from the Web as the Formula One driver Robert Wickens is named in clear words and that the New Racin Concept document contains the official numbers of the New Racing Company that could be used by others, thank you in advance.
Regarding " I notice that File:2009 Boudon-Mertins-Atlantic .jpg was previously published " yes it was because Mr. Boudon sent that picture to help an article in a French magazine...I made it clear Mr. Boudon gave me the rights to publish his material in my email to OTRS...again, if the copyright cannot be established can you please delete this picture from the web?

I'm really curious to hear your views on the upcoming Presidential election. But at the same time, I'm usually relatively hesitant to discuss politics on Wikipedia, and asking someone about their political views is always sort of a personal question - the sort that I often decline to respond to myself. So no pressure, but I'm curious about your thoughts, if you feel like this is a comfortable venue in which to discuss them (if not, then no worries). Either way, hope things are going well. Cheers. MastCell Talk 19:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I was surprised (as I think a lot of people were) by the weakness of the Republican field this year. I think that for all the talk about Obama's vulnerability, a lot of potential GOP candidates calculated that he's still a formidable politician (and an incumbent), and the Democratic ranks are pretty thin behind him - so they have much better odds in 2016. I suspect you'll see all of those people - Daniels, Jindal, Pawlenty, Chris Christie - throw their hats in the ring in 2016. They're keeping their powder dry, which of course left the 2012 field with a bunch of frankly somewhat risible characters. Romney was probably the only credible candidate among them.
I don't doubt Romney's business acumen, but I also don't see that business acumen is necessarily all that relevant for a President. Presiding over the national economy is just very different from running a business, and I think it's dangerous to conflate the two. The most highly qualified business leader to become President in the last 100 years was Herbert Hoover, and he drew all the wrong conclusions from his meteoric success in the corporate world. If you're a household, or a business, facing a major deficit, then of course it makes sense to cut spending as a primary approach. But those are open systems, where money will continue to come in from outside your household or business. If you cut spending at the national level in a recession, you take money out of circulation in a (relatively) closed system, which isn't going to help you get out of the recession. Admittedly, I'm not an economist, but that principle (articulated more effectively by economists like Paul Krugman) makes sense to me.
The problem is that the Republican base demands zero tax increases as absolute dogma. Right now, the dominant Republican economic proposal seems to be to cut billions in spending aimed at the poorest and most vulnerable Americans, while refusing to raise taxes by a cent on the wealthy. Are we really that kind of country? I can accept the conservative idea that we need to cut spending, but it seems utterly lacking in any sort of political or moral courage to exempt the Pentagon from those budget cuts, for example, and to ask the most vulnerable to bear virtually the entire burden.
Besides which, if there's one lesson from the Great Depression, it's that we can't simply cut our way out of this recession. And that's the problem with Romney. It would take someone with substantial political courage to stand up to the more extreme wing of the Republican Party and its unrealistic demands for massive spending cuts with zero revenue increase. I think we both know that political courage is not exactly Romney's forte.
I'm not sure I share your low opinion of Obama's economic policies - the auto bailout is probably the most prominent example of an instance where he acted against essentially universal Republican opposition with an incredibly positive result. Of course he could have done better, but I'm willing to cut him some slack because - in my view - he inherited an economy whose fundamentals had essentially been destroyed by a combination of external factors (the worldwide recession) and incredibly inept domestic policy. I don't think the economy would be better today if Obama had cut spending more aggressively, although of course that's my personal conjecture. I think he's done OK, within the constraints of a Congress determined to delay or block his every policy initiative.
I guess for me the main issues in this election aren't even economic, though. I work in a scientific field, and I don't see how anyone who values science as a human endeavor can vote for a party that seems to revel in anti-intellectualism and to view science as a suspicious, partisan left-wing enterprise. I can totally understand having different ideas about a public-policy response to climate change, but I can't understand the effort to demolish the scientific understanding of reality upon which any sane public policy would be based. And it's not just cast as a scientific disagreement - it seemed like the Republican presidential candidates were competing to see who could attribute the most nefarious and conspiratorial motivations to the scientific community. That's not even getting into the efforts to undermine the teaching of evolutionary biology, or the efforts to compel physicians to lie to their patients about the health risks of induced abortion. And it's not even getting into social issues more generally.
But sorry, I've said enough, and I appreciate your thoughtful and direct response. You're a very articulate and compelling exponent of your viewpoint, which is why I was interested in your thoughts on the election. Hope things are going well for you - it's always good to see your name pop up on my watchlist. :) Cheers. MastCell Talk 16:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Apparently, both you and I fail at it. The first time I read the disambig page, I saw that there were multiple films named Thief. So I moved the film page.

Actually, none of the 'jokey' references were intentional (I wrote this in notepad and pasted it). I did some quick revisions inline, then after your reversion realized I left them in when I put it in wikipedia. I took all the jokey references out, and doublechecked them all.
I'm not 100% sure why the photo got a speedydelete request, but I went ahead and found another one and explained the fair use rationale. If I could make one small request, please be careful if you make any other edits; it took some time to find the references and other pieces to make it more complete.

Hi, I'm not even sure this is possible, but I'm looking to undelete a file that was deleted because it was orphaned. I'm not sure whether it was specified in the file permissions, but we have permission to use this logo. My guess is that I forgot to include the permissions when I originally uploaded, which caused it to be removed from the article per NFCC and later deleted. If you could restore it, if that's possible, I'd appreciate it and be able to correct any permissions issue to prevent this going forward. Thanks jheiv talk contribs 19:48, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, B!
Thanks for the positive input!
The tone of voice is beside the point, I think my arguments here are well laid-out. My point is that old logos are OK for WP articles - as I say, BBC and NBC are cases in point where there are full separate articles. Even without a separate article - e.g. the LA Clippers have all 3 of their logos in their article, and I could list a myriad of other articles here that have all of their old logos within the article text. I do believe galleries should be acceptable, especially as there is not so much to say about these particular 3 logos as to actually have an entire explanatory section on them, when the Vivacom article is, for the minute, clearly short - hence why I opted for the gallery view.
But did Stefan2 need to just a) delete them from the article and b.) nominate them for deletion from Wikipedia itself? Clearly not. He could have merely interspersed them as thumbnails along the right-hand side of the article, say, or asked me to do so. Right? I did initially think of that myself, but, entirely stylistically I thought gallery view looked better. I'm all for proposing it as a policy that galleries should be acceptable, precisely because in certain articles they appear better stylistically. But the logos themselves are part of the company history and all WP company articles do try to include all their past logos, where they can. BigSteve ( talk) 20:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

See what? There's nothing about The Twilight Zone on the page you gave a link to. Here's the whole story: On March 20, AldezD erroneously requested deletion of an image, I guess thinking that this article was about the original series. Then, Stefan2 makes an off-topic and irrelevant comment, evidently also thinking that the article was about the original series (which is why I changed the title to The Twilight Zone (franchise)). Then, after explaining it to AldezD, he moved it from the infobox to the section about the 1985 series. Which led me to say, "Issue resolved," which was the last thing said in the discussion, until all of a sudden you remove the image without being involved in the discussion. So, again, where is the violation? -- Musdan77 ( talk) 21:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
