Hey, DialUp, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm pretty new myself as a committed editing member. I just wanted to note that it might be better to address questions and suggestions to others on their Talk page, as I'm doing to you. I specifically refer to your comment to Radiant! regarding the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children article. You will note on Radiant!'s talk page that I have made some suggestions in the same regard.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work here!

Good evening. Per your research which found that article to be a copyright violation, I am deleting the article and closing the VfD discussion. Per some of the opinions expressed in the VfD discussion, please consider first whether this topic would be better discussed in the context of some other article before recreating it as a stub. (I have no personal opinion on the matter.) Thanks. Rossami (talk) 06:24, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your dedicated work on sorting and categorising many pages relating to Sikhism, and especial thanks for your edits to Sikh pages; you have turned a fairly redundant list into a valuable, structured index of information. Great work. -- FP 08:26, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Dialup, I have looked at the
Sikh Pages and I must say you have done an excellent job - Keep it up! If you need to contact me please email me or post on my talk page. Unfortunately, I only check wikipedia about once a month.

Hi Dialup, Thanks for the message - I will keep a look out whenever I log into Wiki - I have been spending time on Sikhiwiki - Have you seen it yet? Keep up the good work, --

The debate is geting long, and I think a lot of misunderstanding is going on, so I'm posting here. We don't agree on everything but I think there is enough common ground to hope for an amicable resolution. I don't oppose an article "American West," if it is going to be about the iconic west or the idea of the West, rather than the modern region. The U.S. West article predates American West which was a redirect to it. Since U.S. West has been moved to Western United States- it is the American West that is the newer article.
The main region articles are intended to be holistic in nature covering: geograhy, culture, history, politics, ect. as well as discuss variations with in the region and what may or may not be included in the region. So the information in a rewritten American West article should be included to some extint. In this sense an article about the iconic West would have a paragraph or so in the Western United States with a link to the main article of American West at the top of the section.
The current verison of American West is not solely about the West as an iconic region, but presents it more as an authoritative source on what the West is now. In its current form it only discusses one of several diffentions for what the region is today, and only touches briefly on the iconography. If it was changed to discuss the icongraphy of the West, the importance of the idea of a Western Frontier in American history, and the evolution of that idea, ect. I see no reason why it would need to be either a redirect or a disambig page, since it would cover a topic not covered by an existing article.
As for the map, I'm a geography person so I know the differing regional models by heart. You can see some of the various interpretations of the region in the links I provided in the Food for thought section. I also took Jmabel's conerns into question per the Pacific states, because I was already aware of that idea. I'm willing to make changes to the map, but let's work out the articles first. - JCarriker 19:12, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject U.S. regions is considering a proposal on its maps page to replace the current grab bag of U.S. maps with a standardized style. The new maps also remove the always, sometimes, and rare classification currently in use, in favor of a core area always in a region highlighted in red, while states that may or may not be included in a region are shown in pink. You are invited to comment and/or join as a participant. Please comment on the map page's talk page. If approved or revised by participants, I'd like to make the transition within the next two weeks, (I plan on making your topic of Categories (not just the Western ones at the center of the Coordinator's agenda after that maps have been implemented and/or revised). (P.S. Don't worry too much about Globeism. Personally, I have no more intention of seeing Texas or other states in a similar position being locked out of the West any more than I do seeing them locked into it, and I'm sure others who voted to redirect feel the same way.) BTW on Talk:American West, what did you mean by "when it's completed", did you mean the vote on the talk, the Vfd, Western United States, or something else? Thanks. - JCarriker| Talk 05:57, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
I have closed the Vfd with consensus to keep, and I've redirected the article per the vote on the talk page. As such "it's completed" so if you'd like to take up the issue of the dubious material please repost your concerns at Talk:Western United States. - JCarriker 18:33, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
Hey DialUp, I saw that you added an external link of different maps for one of the town articles I added to Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could show me how you did that. I wanted to add them to all the locations in Hampshire County, West Virginia. Thanks! Caponer 02:45, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Guru Nanak through Pictures.png. 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 ( talk) 04:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
