Hi, newbie here, I am not sure this is the right place for this, if wrong please remove it.
First of all thank you for the great job in wikipedia! I was notified you removed an image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OpenCaster_broadcasting_big_buck_bunny.png that I uploaded but the content should have Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license as I am a newbie to wikipedia editing I probably did a mistake on upload description so you got the wrong idea, anyway here there are more informations about the copyright: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/about/ is it suitable for wikipedia? Thanks anyway! Lorenzopallara ( talk) 17:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

When closing discussions at PUF, please put {{ puf top}} after the section header instead of before. AnomieBOT doesn't like them before, mainly because it can't tell the difference between "someone put {{ puf top}} before the section header" and "someone forgot {{ puf bottom}}, or just randomly put {{ puf top}} in the middle of a section". Thanks!
BTW, in response to your comment at WT:PUF#Archive problem, I adjusted AnomieBOT to remove the completed dates from the holding cell itself when every section is closed. Thanks for the idea! Anomie ⚔ 03:02, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
[2] Thanks for injecting a bit of humour and clarity. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 01:07, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Can I ask your opinion? An indef' blocked editor has asked if I would mentor him if he can get his block lifted. I've agreed. The block came out of this ANI discussion. Should I start a thread at ANI asking for the block to be lifted, or should the user simply post the standard unblock template on his talk page? Or both? -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 02:28, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Please fix your humour as it appears to be broken, as demonstrated at

Yeah, yeah, I know. I shouldn't be writing this, it's going to make us both sad. But I've got a maths degree and therefore I have an uncontrollable urge to find out more maths jokes, especially terrible ones. What do you get when you cross a mountain climber with an elephant?

Like, should I have explained more about why I thought it should be redacted in the edit summary or... I don't know. Thank you, much wiser one. -- Danger ( talk) 14:53, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I think you handled it perfectly. Probably best not to get too detailed in the edit summary, just list the criteria unless it's contentious for some reason. Other admins can dig out the original if necessary. Kaldari ( talk) 18:08, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for my rather inactivity on wikipedia and reduced partition in our mentatorship program.
I was recently diagnosed with a serious of illnesses so my presence on wikipedia will be quite limited to say the list. I'll still lurk around to answer private messages and minor edits. I just don't want you to get the impression I am bailing the mentorship.

Hi Gimme Danger, Thank you for help with the WikiProject on Disability, by specifying the major disability articles which were stubs. I had a look at the article on physical disability last night (February 28 2011) and agreed it was a stub - and also a major article! Many people would, I am sure, be shocked that such a major topic could be a stub. Thank you again for your work here, ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 19:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Here's the latest addition to the religion section of Portal:Contents/Outlines. Wikipedia has rich coverage on this subject. Very interesting, especially from sociological and historical perspectives.
This is a call to all members of the Outline WikiProject and outline aficionados to help refine this outline. It needs annotations, missing topics added, and the entries in the general concepts section placed in more specific sections.
Come join in on the fun and get acquainted with members of the Outline WikiProject!

Hello, I saw your details on the Adopt a user page? Are you still adopting? I've got interests in a range of areas, and one of the articles I'd really like to work on is Augmentative_and_alternative_communication, which I though you might be a good mentor for because you listed disability as one of your areas of expertise. I'm very slowly finding my way around wikipedia and would dearly love a guide.
Failedwizard ( talk) 23:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I thought I had answered this. My brain is so scrambled lately. I don't usually use "see also" sections at all; it's better if links are worked into the article more fluidly using internal links and templates like {{ main}}. In this specific case, Dynavox should definitely be removed for precisely the reason you identify. Wikipedia should not show preference for one manufacturer of this sort of device over others, per neutral point of view policy. -- Danger ( talk) 19:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Danger :) would it be possible to get a quick overview of the importance rating system from you (possibly also the quality rating system as well) - I think Speech_generating_device would be nice as a case study example - admittedly because I think I might have got slightly carried away with adding content... :s Failedwizard ( talk) 21:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I don't plan on editing heavily in the near future. I just have a little free time this weekend and may spend it here. Let me know what you think. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 02:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
edit: Also, I have a few questions. The terms of my topic ban are rather broad. Israeli casualties of war and Palestinian casualties of war have not been updated in quite some time. I started both articles and spent considerable time compiling data and making sure statistics are recorded and up to date.
Recent incidents haven't been counted in the data tables yet. I really want to add the numbers but the information is obviously very much part of the I/P area. Is it a deal-breaking violation to make those kind of edits? It's been three months since my ban... Wikifan12345 ( talk) 02:10, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Your honest opinion is requested. I hope you will remain my mentor even if my ban is extended over these allegations. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 18:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Danger ...the statement as you reverted to( "mudflaps" ) dealing with aerodynamics as read ...Mudflaps can be aerodynamically engineered, utilizing shaping, louvers or vents to improve airflow and lower drag. This statement, though true, is not the way it can appear. Under the circumstances, its has to be a statement of fact. The fact is "aerodynamic mudflaps are now a reality", but cannot be without Patents. Without it, such a statement opens up the "Danger" for patents to be violated. Bottom line is, though it would not be your intention that you or other folks violate my patents, reality is removing the patent refrences does just that, I trust you, nor anyone else at wikipedia want to be responsible for that.
Reality is Mudflaps, cannot be aerodynamically engineered, utilizing shaping, louvers or vents to improve airflow and lower drag WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AS I OWN PATENT RIGHTS.
While, keeping the afformention in mind, if you have a better way to word it take your liberty. Avgjoejohn316 ( talk) 16:39, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I am very distraught over the edits and blatant disregard for my article that I had been working so hard on the last few days. This editor is an admin and certainly takes advantage of it and won't discuss the edits but only reverts it to the previous condition which was not good. Do you have any information for where I can go to resolve this dispute of this overzealous admin? Thank you. user:theonelife Theonelife ( talk) 23:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

hello danger,
can you give centrifugal compressor a quick once over after you help me verify what to do with two issues. The first issue is that I would like to try to unify all of turbomachinery under one chapter heading similar to see other. The turbomachinery having is near the bottom of the table of contents. It is not complete and actually has a couple of links that are not exist. The second issue is that my "see other" is so large that I would like to create columns just is like in my references. Again thanks for all help. Best regards Martin koronowski Mkoronowski ( talk) 04:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Sounds like you need a dose of reading and old-fashioned editing.
Despite its having a community comprised of an insane mixture of fools and eccentrics, Wikipedia (the encyclopedia itself) has emerged as a work of art and spectacular achievement of human collaboration.
That's something to be proud of having contributed to. So don't let wiki-drama get you down. Just sit back, relax, and explore this virtual world of knowledge that we have created. It is as interesting as it is vast.
And while you are at it, if you feel like getting back to actual editing... That's good for the soul too.
Have some fun. The Transhumanist 21:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Danger/Archive 9. The
Wikipedia Schools Project has set up a dedicated help and feedback page at
WP:WPSCH/H. This for elementary/primary, middle, and high schools (often called college in the UK). It is not for universities or other degree awarding institutions.
If you regularly give advice to users, you might wish to send enquirers there - we are quick to respond. However,
WT:WPSCH still remains the place for general discussion about the management and policy of school articles. --

Racist comment from a user you've warned previously — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenrodman ( talk • contribs) 14:17, 6 June 2011
Do you think it would be worth reporting User:Mykjoseph to one of the boards? He has edited articles for at least two of his PR firm's clients ( Talk:Marshall Strabala & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Drug Mart for more on that), has made legal threats multiple times, and has made personal attacks in several places. He also reacted rather inappropriately, I would say, to your warning on the Strabala talk page. It seems Myk's relationship to Strabala (or at least to the Strabala article) has led to these problems. In fact every edit he has made in the last several weeks has been to the Strabala article, to add mention of Strabala to another article, or various talk or board postings regarding these. Anyway, do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you and happy editing! Novaseminary ( talk) 05:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know the best place to report vandalism. I looked all about and tried two places, one the page you left a message on and an e-mail. I received an e-mail with a date/time stamp earlier than your message stating "The vandalism you reported was done to a template used to reproduce content in multiple articles. We have repaired the vandalism." The vandalism was very gross and even had Nazi symbols on it. Thomas R. Fasulo ( talk) 13:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia should not show preference for one manufacturer of this sort of device over others, per neutral point of view policy. -- Danger ( talk) 19:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Danger :) would it be possible to get a quick overview of the importance rating system from you (possibly also the quality rating system as well) - I think Speech_generating_device would be nice as a case study example - admittedly because I think I might have got slightly carried away with adding content... :s Failedwizard ( talk) 21:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I don't plan on editing heavily in the near future. I just have a little free time this weekend and may spend it here. Let me know what you think. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 02:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
edit: Also, I have a few questions. The terms of my topic ban are rather broad. Israeli casualties of war and Palestinian casualties of war have not been updated in quite some time. I started both articles and spent considerable time compiling data and making sure statistics are recorded and up to date.
Recent incidents haven't been counted in the data tables yet. I really want to add the numbers but the information is obviously very much part of the I/P area. Is it a deal-breaking violation to make those kind of edits? It's been three months since my ban... Wikifan12345 ( talk) 02:10, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Your honest opinion is requested. I hope you will remain my mentor even if my ban is extended over these allegations. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 18:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Danger ...the statement as you reverted to( "mudflaps" ) dealing with aerodynamics as read ...Mudflaps can be aerodynamically engineered, utilizing shaping, louvers or vents to improve airflow and lower drag. This statement, though true, is not the way it can appear. Under the circumstances, its has to be a statement of fact. The fact is "aerodynamic mudflaps are now a reality", but cannot be without Patents. Without it, such a statement opens up the "Danger" for patents to be violated. Bottom line is, though it would not be your intention that you or other folks violate my patents, reality is removing the patent refrences does just that, I trust you, nor anyone else at wikipedia want to be responsible for that.
Reality is Mudflaps, cannot be aerodynamically engineered, utilizing shaping, louvers or vents to improve airflow and lower drag WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AS I OWN PATENT RIGHTS.
While, keeping the afformention in mind, if you have a better way to word it take your liberty. Avgjoejohn316 ( talk) 16:39, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
I fucked up a move. Please delete Index of ancient Egypt-related articles, which is currenty blocking the page I meant to move there (I moved the talk page there by mistake. Doh!). The Transhumanist 21:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
I am very distraught over the edits and blatant disregard for my article that I had been working so hard on the last few days. This editor is an admin and certainly takes advantage of it and won't discuss the edits but only reverts it to the previous condition which was not good. Do you have any information for where I can go to resolve this dispute of this overzealous admin? Thank you. user:theonelife Theonelife ( talk) 23:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Danger, I'm curios to know why with this edityou deleted comments from two users. I'm sure it was unitentional, please consider restoring them. Thanks. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your previous advice. I have attempted to add - "Receivers called in as Top Ryde Shopping Centre runs up $700m debt six months after opening". Includes a reference but I am once again being told that it is not a NPOV. Its just a fact. No emotive terms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.23.139 ( talk) 07:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
hello danger,
can you give centrifugal compressor a quick once over after you help me verify what to do with two issues. The first issue is that I would like to try to unify all of turbomachinery under one chapter heading similar to see other. The turbomachinery having is near the bottom of the table of contents. It is not complete and actually has a couple of links that are not exist. The second issue is that my "see other" is so large that I would like to create columns just is like in my references. Again thanks for all help. Best regards Martin koronowski Mkoronowski ( talk) 04:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Sounds like you need a dose of reading and old-fashioned editing.
Despite its having a community comprised of an insane mixture of fools and eccentrics, Wikipedia (the encyclopedia itself) has emerged as a work of art and spectacular achievement of human collaboration.
That's something to be proud of having contributed to. So don't let wiki-drama get you down. Just sit back, relax, and explore this virtual world of knowledge that we have created. It is as interesting as it is vast.
And while you are at it, if you feel like getting back to actual editing... That's good for the soul too.
Have some fun. The Transhumanist 21:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Danger/Archive 9. The
Wikipedia Schools Project has set up a dedicated help and feedback page at
WP:WPSCH/H. This for elementary/primary, middle, and high schools (often called college in the UK). It is not for universities or other degree awarding institutions.
If you regularly give advice to users, you might wish to send enquirers there - we are quick to respond. However,
WT:WPSCH still remains the place for general discussion about the management and policy of school articles. --

Okay. I didn't know gender was considered outing. Anyways, a strike will still show my edit - so if this is a real issue perhaps an admin with the tools to erase edits should be called? Of course this convo would be removed as well. I know the importance of privacy. Wikifan12345 ( talk) 19:57, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Whatever happened, shrug it off.
Wikipedia is an awesome communication and educational resource, and it will continue to grow and improve. Collaboration by people all around the world is what makes this happen. Caring and sharing. This is a wonderful thing, Wikipedia bringing the world's people together to improve the awareness and education of all. Please assure me that you will remain part of this effort.

Racist comment from a user you've warned previously — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenrodman ( talk • contribs) 14:17, 6 June 2011
Do you think it would be worth reporting User:Mykjoseph to one of the boards? He has edited articles for at least two of his PR firm's clients ( Talk:Marshall Strabala & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Drug Mart for more on that), has made legal threats multiple times, and has made personal attacks in several places. He also reacted rather inappropriately, I would say, to your warning on the Strabala talk page. It seems Myk's relationship to Strabala (or at least to the Strabala article) has led to these problems. In fact every edit he has made in the last several weeks has been to the Strabala article, to add mention of Strabala to another article, or various talk or board postings regarding these. Anyway, do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you and happy editing! Novaseminary ( talk) 05:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know the best place to report vandalism. I looked all about and tried two places, one the page you left a message on and an e-mail. I received an e-mail with a date/time stamp earlier than your message stating "The vandalism you reported was done to a template used to reproduce content in multiple articles. We have repaired the vandalism." The vandalism was very gross and even had Nazi symbols on it. Thomas R. Fasulo ( talk) 13:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
The Outline of relationships was nominated for deletion.
It was then overhauled and the nomination was withdrawn.
Only a couple members from the Outlines WikiProject showed up at the AfD.
Do you have Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts watchlisted?
If not, please watchlist it.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 08:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
