I'll try to respond to your numerous comments: (1) I'm not an admin, so I can't assist you with those matters. If your attempts to contact the editor have failed, you may want to visit Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention for guidance. You can also find admins at Wikipedia:List of administrators. (2) I'm not from Union City -- I live in neighbouring Jersey City -- but I like to contribute to NJ-related articles. (3) I see what you're trying to do with the Bergenline Ave. pictures. I think you have to put the pictures in an HTML table in order to align them to the right, but they look fine as is. (4) It is considered bad form to give yourself credit for pictures and text in Wikipedia articles, which is why I removed it for the 9/11 photograph.
By the way, I noticed that the scan on the 2000 Bergenline Ave. photo is really poor and should probably be replaced with a higher quality image. Would you be able to take a picture of the intersection? If not, I have a digital camera and could go up there -- but I thought I'd ask you since you live in the area.
Happy New Year to you too! Darkcore 07:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
This is Inmytown and I already apologized in the Union City talk page. However thanks to your recent comment you left me I am now starting to regret it. The reason why I "vandalized" the Union City page with putting my pictures was because you put up a picture that was not on Bergenline. I had to put a picture of Bergenline (not 32nd Street) to show how Bergenline Avenue is today.
Thanks for the compliment, Nightscream. And yes I did take that photograph myself however it was on 2004. User:Inmytown
I will try to take a pic of Celia Cruz Park in Union City if I get the chance ASAP.
P.S. I have a newer pic of the intersection of Bergenline and 31st that is more illustrative. ALthough I do have a question. If you took a picture yourself, what do you do with the copyright status? Thanks. User:Inmytown 16:35, July 8, 2006
If you go to List of U.S. cities with Hispanic majority populations, it doesn't list selected cities in each state. It lists all cities with a Hispanic majority. If less than half of the population is Hispanic, then it's not on the list. For New Jersey, 8 cities are listed, but for California and Texaco there are several dozen each. Of the other 558 municipalities in New Jersey, none are more than 50% Hispanic. Of the 8 listed in new Jersey as being over 50% Hispanic, Union City is the highest, at 82.3%, ahead of West New York at 78.7% and Perth Amboy at 69.8%. The one catch is that this excludes municpalities over 25,000 population. So, perhaps there is a town of 24,000 that is 90% hispanic? There might be, and I could double check that. I'm still trying to get a ranking from the Census Bureau of all municipalities in New Jersey, but I can check any place one at a time. Let me knof if this helps. Best wikiwishes for the New Year in Union City and all of New Jersey! Alansohn 03:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
You could have it moved, which requires submitting a request. i'd suggest creating a new James E. Buttersworth and populating it with what's now at James E. Butersworth. Then make James E. Butersworth a redirect to James E. Buttersworth. Let me know if I can help further with this. Alansohn 04:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:S4-lana2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{ GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ fairusein|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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- OrphanBot 07:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I can't make any promises, but if I ever get a chance to create the article, I will use the link you provided as a source. I've been concentrating on creating pages for New Jersey school districts, and every time I get near finishing one megaproject I think of one more interesting megaproject.... Such is the life of the Wiki-obsessed. Alansohn 00:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you've done a lot of work on the Green Laterns introduced in recent issues of the Corps. comic. I think you've done a good job, but you might want to go through and add headings like 'Biograpy' and add the Template:Superherobox. It shouldn't be too hard to mimic the other minor Lantern articles.
Thanks again. -- waffle iron 06:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I apologize if my "accusation" was taken the wrong way. I did not mean any harm by it and did not mean in any way to violate any rules. However, let me explain why I even made it. I actually asked Mr. Lynch about this mysterious "Nightscream" character (not so mysterious now), who has been updating his wiki article with seemingly everything he had mentioned to me regarding the false information. I joked with him and asked if it was him, and he responded in a very ambiguous way, saying that he didn't have a personal account yet, but also not clarifying whether he was indeed involved with you in any way. My comment was merely a jest, because based on his response I figured he would see it, but I realize that it was wrong to make and I apologize. Flypanam 04:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Nightscream, thanks for your many uploads, but I'm afraid all of those that are from municipal sources will have to be deleted unless permission is granted. Municipalities retain copyright like any other incorporated entity. It is only Works of the United States Federal Government that are automaticly in the public domain. Please audit your uploads to correct this. Thanks. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 21:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I found a nice image of Kristen from a Neutrogena ad in an issue of Teen People. Are low-res scans of ads permissable in the same way that magazine covers, screenshot, comic book covers, etc., are? Is there tag for mag ads? If so, what is it?
Also, I have a question about my Talk Page. It's gone! The History is still there, but all the material is gone on the "current" page, which just says that there is no page by that name, and there is no indication that the last person blanked it, nor any way to go to the most recent version and "save" it that I know of. Can you advise? Thanks. Nightscream 00:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I re-added the Original Research tag you removed from the article Joe Madureira, as the sentence "his popular work lead to a new interest in Japanese entertainment in the U.S." seems to be original research and needs to be sourced. -- Fritz Saalfeld ( Talk) 11:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I will probably recuse as I have strong feelings against publishing the name or image of an alleged rape victim. Fred Bauder 13:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't able to view the image under dispute. Do you have a link to it on the web? If we are publishing the name of the victim I don't see why we can't publish a public photo as part of a tabloid cover. In fact, the tabloid cover is very appropriate. (Maybe a blur?) - Tεx τ urε 21:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to ask if you're aware that the images you've licensed under CC-BY-SA, such as Image:TempleOfJupiter.jpg, can be used freely by anyone obeying the terms of the license. I'm asking this because you've written "If you want to use this or any other one of my images outside of Wikipedia, or commission me for an original piece, contact me on my Talk Page" on the image pages in question, and I don't want you to be under the impression people are required to ask you in order to use the images outside Wikipedia if you're licensing them in this way. If you're already aware of this, my apologies for bothering you. -- Fuzzie ( talk) 05:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to reply to you, it's been a hectic few days! I think it's a weird MediaWiki bug, I'm afraid, it's unlikely to be anything you did wrong or anything you can do differently in the future. I've fixed it, anyway, hope it looks fine now. -- Fuzzie ( talk) 22:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Nightscream. I have been meaning to do something about the Punk'd article for some time now. I just never got around to it. You are completely right with your points. I'll try to keep a closer eye on it and keep it clean, but thanks for taking the initiative and bringing it up. Also, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Mel Etitis has also left a note on BigBang19's talk page about this issue. Just so you know, I have moved your comment from BigBang19's userpage to his talk page for you. -- PS2pcGAMER ( talk) 08:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I've left a comment at his Talk page; let's hope that he starts discussing the article instead of just making his edits. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 08:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Nightscream, I would have posted my 2c as per your request on my Talk page however I feel I have little to add to what you and PS2pcGAMER already posted. So for now I'll just heartfully agree and will put Punk'd back watchlist. Intinn 08:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep got him blacklisted so if he moves a single letter out of line I'll sort it :) Thanks for your message - Gl e n T C 17:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Blacklisting is done via VandalProof - it means I can track all his edits and reverse them with one button - unfortunately I have to be online to do it and I've only just gotten up (it's like half 6am here in New Zealand). I'll look into it now - Gl e n T C 18:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes just click on the link above - and tomorrow version 1.1 is being released which will have improvements on this one. You need to be approved to use it by a moderator - lucky you're messaging one I guess! :) Now, about BB19, the List of celebs edit he does, the info seems accurate so I don't have a problem there. But, I have just warned him on Punk'd, if he reverts JUST ONCE more please tell me or an admin and he'll be blocked for 24 hours. - Gl e n T C 18:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, you left a message on my talk page concerning the current status of the Punk'd article and the changes made by User Bigbang19. I'd like to thank you for bringing it to my attention; I agree completely and have left an appropriate message on his talk page. Also, your artwork is great; although it's rather odd that I've come in to contact with the creator of the caricature I've been seeing on JR's site for so long through wikipedia, of all things. Thanks,
You're welcome for the link fix. I actually found it on accident, while trying to figure out who Jack's father's daughter's mother was (if that makes sense).-- TylerD619 09:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok here is some 'actual thought' first please stop your own uncivil behaviour and start talking to me rather than at me. Your article is unbalanced and non point of view. I appreciate that you have spent a great deal of time writing it but I and a great many other contributers are unsatisfied with it.
Far to much of the article is given to his experiences in the real world TV show and his GLT experiences. He is a cartoonist and writer and most of the article should be about this.
The Real World piece should be in the article devoted to the television show a simple link to that is sufficient. I agree that his Pedro work/assoication must be mentioned but not so extensively. This does not read as a encyclopedic biographical article it reads as a press release.
I am aware of your previous deletion/revertion 'wars' on other articles mainly the Wolverine comic and don't want to get into one with you now.
Please edit this article down to a reasonable length with the majority of it focusing on his professional work. If you don't want to do this we can get try to get an unbiased 3rd party advocate to look at the article. Tell me what you want to do.

Hi. I started an article on the Sidri recently. Someone placed tags on it questioning whether it merits an article. Since you put the mention and link for Sidri in the Lockheed article, I'd like to invite you over to the Sidri talk page and/or to edit the Sidri article. I figured it might be of interest to you. -- JamesAM 22:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Please, i'm an ITALIAN WIKIPEDIA USER. The law in Italy is very restrictive, so we have not the fair use that you can use. We must use draws, sketches and other to represent a screenshot from a movie. Since you are very good in drawing (i'm good too, but not like you), can you draw me a picture of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction like this?
PLEASE, IN ITALY IS A SHIT - LAW.
-- El Tarantiniese 09:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
In italian wikipedia (as you can see) there are not images of stranger movie, cause we've not the {{ Fairuse}}. Since this, we can add some images with this license:
{{ cc-by-sa-2.5}}
or in
{{ pd}}
So, i've added in italian Wikipedia some of your gorgeous drawings, such as Quentin Tarantino's image. I've tried to draw Samuel L. Jackson (as you can see here) but I've not made it well. I've understood that I can only draw and colour the super-heroes not people! So, since you are very good, can you draw Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta (like here or here) ?
Then, when you've drawed it, add the cc-by-sa-2.5 license, so I can add it in italian wikipedia. Thanks (why not, we can add it to the english wikipedia too!)

I don't know. His article was on the same page as the Marvel Comics' Wonder Man, so I moved him to a separate page. I didn't add anything new. -- DrBat 11:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
When you wrote: "His coaching career is depicted in the 2006 film Glory Road, in which he is portrayed by Josh Lucas." it reads as if the film covers his entire coaching career. I have not seen the film, but it is my understanding that it mainly deals with the events surrounding the 1966 NCAA Championship. Shouldn't it be something like "Coach Rupp is depicted in the 2006 film....."? -- rogerd 00:44, July 4, 2006 (UTC)

What someone put in an editorial section of a magazine isn't really encyclopedia material. is the author's opinion really that important? why does it need to be in there? Rainingblood667
I have tried to clarify my comments at the Nitcentral deletion review. Basically my point is that most wikipedians feel that failing WP:WEB is a reason to delete and so unless there is a specific reason that the subject is important anyway (beyond I like it and think it makes wikipedia better) then it should stay deleted.

I thought that breaking the fourth wall remark was so good. Is that an actual phrase? Anyway, you made a number of corrections and called Hogan a she, dude. lol. It's cool. I fixed what needed to be and hope you will like it. ;) TareTone 03:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I saw that breaking the wall. I thought you were being clever. Oh well, I guess I'm a little out of the figures of speech. Anyway, much of the information you add are spoilers. I would encourage you to go back and look over the article to get rid of any spoilers as repeats of the show does air. No offense or anything, but to me, spoilers are the worst thing on wikipedia. My adjectives were fairly accurate, but when I go to a page like I have in the past like South Park (visit the page and see what I mean : / I get so outraged when I look through information and all of a sudden I realize I'm reading everything on a particular show I haven't seen. Thank you for responding TareTone 04:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Could you add your ( ` ` ` ` ) to my page when you write me. Thank you :) TareTone 04:29, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I see where you're coming from. You're right. My stuff is a point of view. But just for the sake of discussion, you didn't think it was outlandish of Linda to try to own a monkey as a pet or go outside banging on pots and pans to cause a big disruption when she didn't get her way with the neighbors. And you didn't think it was kind of outlandish for her to get upset with the courts because they thought she owns to many animals and she got mad because she believed she should have all 20 or 30 of them. And what about Brooke. And what about Brooke. The whole time her dad was trying to hook her up with a huge singing career, she could have this huge life ahead of her, she just whined that he was embarrassing her the whole time even when he wrote that friendly thing in the air using the airplane saying pick my daughter. By the way, your spoiler incident sound frustrating with Harry Potter. lol! Yea, at least put a spoiler warning on the Harry Potter Page. People, I tell ya. lol! Sorry about that. Thanx for signing your name. TareTone 18:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I guess I have no reasons to change the article in regards to what we're talking about then. You make some good points, good points. Although, I guess she doesn't whine enough to called whiny anyway. It's only with her parents. It's not like she whines with Nick or her friends or anything. I remember her whining when her parents tried to make her only eat healthy foods a lot though. I guess that's why I brought it up. The majority of that episode was of her whining about that. That may be tough though, Being a skinny guy, I guess I don't know what it's like to have a hard time staying away from fat foods. Anyway, I thought it was fun talking over our edits. Hopefully we'll run into each other in editing another wiki page :) TareTone 05:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:CeliaCruzMural.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

I'm not going to block him, since his actions regarding your name could have resulted from simple cluelessness instead of malice, and his afd shenanigans are two and a half months old. I'll drop him a warning, but I'm going to be out of town for the next few days, so I probably won't be able to follow up on it.

Thanks for uploading Image:StackBeards.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 01:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Responding to your first question, I'm not trying to imply that citing WP:AGF is incivil, only that enforcing it is. For example, mentioning to "Please assume good faith" would be considered civil, whereas stating that "You have violated WP:AGF, violate it again and you will be reported" is not.
Nor have I menioned that WP:AAGF was a policy that one must follow, only that it contains some suggestions that one could follow, similar to pages like Wikipedia:No angry mastodons or Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot.
As for your second question, usually project edits helps a user to better connect with the community (such as with WP:ESP or WP:PR) or become more experienced with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (such as with WP:AfD and WP:DRV), both of which are qualities needed to become an admin. -- TBCΦ talk? 07:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, because AIV is for reporting blatant vandalism only (a la vandalism after a test4 warning), and your post there didn't appear to fall under that guideline, it is better suited for the Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents where administrators monitor that page, and take care of situations like what you posted on AIV. Your situation will be better handled at that location. Remember that AIV is for reporting blatant, obvious vandalism only, whereas the WP:AN/I is more geared towards situations like what you posted. Hope this helps, // Pilotguy ( Cleared to land) 14:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, it depends... WP:VAND might answer that question. As long as there are test 1-4 warnings on the talk page of a user, then you can report it to AIV. Let me know if I can help with anything else. // Pilotguy ( Cleared to land) 19:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello there, I am glad my review was useful! For deleting images, the best way to do it with fair use images is to unlink it from every article where is being used, and apply the {{subst:orfud}} in the image page. That will indicate the image is a fair use image that is not being used in any article, which would make administrators delete it in a week. Note that you can reupload the image in the same image page (there must be a "Upload new version" or similar link, so when you resize an image, you can just upload it in the same name instead of uploading it as a new image. As for size, you need to consider the width and height primarily. A 30kb jpeg with a resolution of 1024x768 could be considered too big, while a 900kb of 300x300 can be considered fine enough.
Check Help:Minor edit for how to recognize minor edits. Basically, rearranging some information, typos, grammar modifications and fixing links can be considered minor edits. The 35% given by mathbot means that, out of your minor edits, you only used summaries in 35% of them.

As for adminship, just try to spend some time at the administrators' board, where you will see how administrators handle different matters. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 13:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for the expansion of the overall content at Speedster Most of it helped. However, as I stated in my comments on the talk page, the version you reverted to had problems, either way. Also, the excessive use of images—which don't necessarily display anything vital to the content—is troubling. Furthermore, I fear you are trying to overgeneralize, perhaps out of the belief that you have no other options. But you do. If you want a general article, I'd recommend making one. How about fictional characters who move at superhuman speeds? The title is unwieldy, but appropriate. Anyway, I hope you can collaberate better and more civilly in the future. Wikipedia is a group effort and I'd hate to see you lose your way by disregarding that fact. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 09:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
This seems to have been discussed already at Talk:Rachel Green, where a survey/vote was held, which resulted in "no move". If you have new information to support a move, I'd suggested posting it there. -- Geniac 16:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:McCullough.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. — BigDT 13:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Superman654p2&3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

Hi ... I just noticed your comment on the IFD page regarding this image. I apologize for not noticing it sooner.
Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information about asking for permission to use other people's content and see [1] for Jimbo's comments on the subject.
The simple version of the image copyright policy is that they have to be "free" as in free speech, not "free" as in free cookies.
If you create a work (such as an image), you own the rights to that image. Even if you grant someone rights to use that image for a particular purpose, you are still the only one who can authorize anything else to be done with that image.
But Wikipedia, as a "free" encyclopedia, requires that all content be available under a "free" license. In short, the creator of this image must be willing to allow anyone to use it for any reason.
If they are willing to release it into the public domain or under an acceptable free license (such as {{ GFDL}} or {{ Cc-by-sa-2.5}}, then that would be fine. But if they are only willing to grant permission for it to be used on Wikipedia, that is insufficient.
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission gives good advice about requesting permission and tells exactly what magic words need to be said.
I hope this helps. If I can help you further, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. BigDT 23:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the problem - if you go back to " For the Cause" You'll see I added a References section and placed code in there to make the your references appear in a list. You have to use that code to get it to work. Cyberia23 20:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I did some checking - and there is another way to do it. If you check out " Where No Man Has Gone Before" you see a reference list with a different code - but if you look at the reference tags in the article they are different than what you and I used. And they are rather complex. This set up however makes one reference link at the bottom for multiple entries that reference the same link. In " For the Cause" you reference only two sources but the list repeats those sources for every reference you made. The other way on WNMHGB lists only one link for multiple references to the same thing, and distiguishes them with a, b, c, etc. I suggest you ask Morwen who was the one who set up that list and ask how she did it. She may be able to help you better than I can. Cyberia23 00:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you left me a message about the stardate a little over a month ago. I apologize for not responding - I haven't been active on Wikipedia for a while. Glad you got things sorted out though. In the future hopefully I'll respond a bit sooner. :-) Moulder 22:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
hiya. ok, I've gone on For the Cause (DS9 episode) and merged the refs. the way it works is, the first time you use a ref you specify a name, like <ref name=thingy>Thingy. Thingy</ref>, and then when you want to refer to that ref again, just do <ref name=thingy />.
I find using the {{cite book}} stuff is nice but not compulsory. Morwen - Talk 11:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll try to respond to your numerous comments: (1) I'm not an admin, so I can't assist you with those matters. If your attempts to contact the editor have failed, you may want to visit Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention for guidance. You can also find admins at Wikipedia:List of administrators. (2) I'm not from Union City -- I live in neighbouring Jersey City -- but I like to contribute to NJ-related articles. (3) I see what you're trying to do with the Bergenline Ave. pictures. I think you have to put the pictures in an HTML table in order to align them to the right, but they look fine as is. (4) It is considered bad form to give yourself credit for pictures and text in Wikipedia articles, which is why I removed it for the 9/11 photograph.
By the way, I noticed that the scan on the 2000 Bergenline Ave. photo is really poor and should probably be replaced with a higher quality image. Would you be able to take a picture of the intersection? If not, I have a digital camera and could go up there -- but I thought I'd ask you since you live in the area.
Happy New Year to you too! Darkcore 07:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
This is Inmytown and I already apologized in the Union City talk page. However thanks to your recent comment you left me I am now starting to regret it. The reason why I "vandalized" the Union City page with putting my pictures was because you put up a picture that was not on Bergenline. I had to put a picture of Bergenline (not 32nd Street) to show how Bergenline Avenue is today.
Thanks for the compliment, Nightscream. And yes I did take that photograph myself however it was on 2004. User:Inmytown
I will try to take a pic of Celia Cruz Park in Union City if I get the chance ASAP.
P.S. I have a newer pic of the intersection of Bergenline and 31st that is more illustrative. ALthough I do have a question. If you took a picture yourself, what do you do with the copyright status? Thanks. User:Inmytown 16:35, July 8, 2006
If you go to List of U.S. cities with Hispanic majority populations, it doesn't list selected cities in each state. It lists all cities with a Hispanic majority. If less than half of the population is Hispanic, then it's not on the list. For New Jersey, 8 cities are listed, but for California and Texaco there are several dozen each. Of the other 558 municipalities in New Jersey, none are more than 50% Hispanic. Of the 8 listed in new Jersey as being over 50% Hispanic, Union City is the highest, at 82.3%, ahead of West New York at 78.7% and Perth Amboy at 69.8%. The one catch is that this excludes municpalities over 25,000 population. So, perhaps there is a town of 24,000 that is 90% hispanic? There might be, and I could double check that. I'm still trying to get a ranking from the Census Bureau of all municipalities in New Jersey, but I can check any place one at a time. Let me knof if this helps.

You could have it moved, which requires submitting a request. i'd suggest creating a new James E. Buttersworth and populating it with what's now at James E. Butersworth. Then make James E.

Thanks for uploading Image:S4-lana2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{ GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ fairusein|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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- OrphanBot 07:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I can't make any promises, but if I ever get a chance to create the article, I will use the link you provided as a source.

Wow, you've done a lot of work on the Green Laterns introduced in recent issues of the Corps. comic. I think you've done a good job, but you might want to go through and add headings like 'Biograpy' and add the Template:Superherobox. It shouldn't be too hard to mimic the other minor Lantern articles.

I apologize if my "accusation" was taken the wrong way. I did not mean any harm by it and did not mean in any way to violate any rules. However, let me explain why I even made it. I actually asked Mr. Lynch about this mysterious "Nightscream" character (not so mysterious now), who has been updating his wiki article with seemingly everything he had mentioned to me regarding the false information. I joked with him and asked if it was him, and he responded in a very ambiguous way, saying that he didn't have a personal account yet, but also not clarifying whether he was indeed involved with you in any way. My comment was merely a jest, because based on his response I figured he would see it, but I realize that it was wrong to make and I apologize. Flypanam 04:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Nightscream, thanks for your many uploads, but I'm afraid all of those that are from municipal sources will have to be deleted unless permission is granted. Municipalities retain copyright like any other incorporated entity. It is only Works of the United States Federal Government that are automaticly in the public domain. Please audit your uploads to correct this. Thanks. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 21:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I found a nice image of Kristen from a Neutrogena ad in an issue of Teen People. Are low-res scans of ads permissable in the same way that magazine covers, screenshot, comic book covers, etc., are? Is there tag for mag ads? If so, what is it?
Also, I have a question about my Talk Page. It's gone! The History is still there, but all the material is gone on the "current" page, which just says that there is no page by that name, and there is no indication that the last person blanked it, nor any way to go to the most recent version and "save" it that I know of. Can you advise? Thanks. Nightscream 00:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I will probably recuse as I have strong feelings against publishing the name or image of an alleged rape victim. Fred Bauder 13:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't able to view the image under dispute. Do you have a link to it on the web? If we are publishing the name of the victim I don't see why we can't publish a public photo as part of a tabloid cover. In fact, the tabloid cover is very appropriate.

I'm asking this because you've written "If you want to use this or any other one of my images outside of Wikipedia, or commission me for an original piece, contact me on my Talk Page" on the image pages in question, and I don't want you to be under the impression people are required to ask you in order to use the images outside Wikipedia if you're licensing them in this way.

Sorry for taking so long to reply to you, it's been a hectic few days!

Hi Nightscream. I have been meaning to do something about the Punk'd article for some time now. I just never got around to it. You are completely right with your points. I'll try to keep a closer eye on it and keep it clean, but thanks for taking the initiative and bringing it up. Also, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Mel Etitis has also left a note on BigBang19's talk page about this issue. Just so you know, I have moved your comment from BigBang19's userpage to his talk page for you. -- PS2pcGAMER ( talk) 08:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Nightscream, I would have posted my 2c as per your request on my Talk page however I feel I have little to add to what you and PS2pcGAMER already posted. So for now I'll just heartfully agree and will put Punk'd back watchlist. Intinn 08:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep got him blacklisted so if he moves a single letter out of line I'll sort it :) Thanks for your message - Gl e n T C 17:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Blacklisting is done via VandalProof - it means I can track all his edits and reverse them with one button - unfortunately I have to be online to do it and I've only just gotten up (it's like half 6am here in New Zealand). I'll look into it now - Gl e n T C 18:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes just click on the link above - and tomorrow version 1.1 is being released which will have improvements on this one. You need to be approved to use it by a moderator - lucky you're messaging one I guess! :) Now, about BB19, the List of celebs edit he does, the info seems accurate so I don't have a problem there. But, I have just warned him on Punk'd, if he reverts JUST ONCE more please tell me or an admin and he'll be blocked for 24 hours. - Gl e n T C 18:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, you left a message on my talk page concerning the current status of the Punk'd article and the changes made by User Bigbang19. I'd like to thank you for bringing it to my attention; I agree completely and have left an appropriate message on his talk page. Also, your artwork is great; although it's rather odd that I've come in to contact with the creator of the caricature I've been seeing on JR's site for so long through wikipedia, of all things. Thanks,
You're welcome for the link fix. I actually found it on accident, while trying to figure out who Jack's father's daughter's mother was (if that makes sense).-- TylerD619 09:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok here is some 'actual thought' first please stop your own uncivil behaviour and start talking to me rather than at me. Your article is unbalanced and non point of view. I appreciate that you have spent a great deal of time writing it but I and a great many other contributers are unsatisfied with it.
Far to much of the article is given to his experiences in the real world TV show and his GLT experiences. He is a cartoonist and writer and most of the article should be about this.
The Real World piece should be in the article devoted to the television show a simple link to that is sufficient. I agree that his Pedro work/assoication must be mentioned but not so extensively. This does not read as a encyclopedic biographical article it reads as a press release.
I am aware of your previous deletion/revertion 'wars' on other articles mainly the Wolverine comic and don't want to get into one with you now.
Please edit this article down to a reasonable length with the majority of it focusing on his professional work. If you don't want to do this we can get try to get an unbiased 3rd party advocate to look at the article. Tell me what you want to do.

Please, i'm an ITALIAN WIKIPEDIA USER. The law in Italy is very restrictive, so we have not the fair use that you can use. We must use draws, sketches and other to represent a screenshot from a movie. Since you are very good in drawing (i'm good too, but not like you), can you draw me a picture of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction like this?
PLEASE, IN ITALY IS A SHIT - LAW.
-- El Tarantiniese 09:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
In italian wikipedia (as you can see) there are not images of stranger movie, cause we've not the {{ Fairuse}}. Since this, we can add some images with this license:
{{ cc-by-sa-2.5}}
or in
{{ pd}}
So, i've added in italian Wikipedia some of your gorgeous drawings, such as Quentin Tarantino's image. I've tried to draw Samuel L. Jackson (as you can see here) but I've not made it well. I've understood that I can only draw and colour the super-heroes not people! So, since you are very good, can you draw Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta (like here or here) ?
Then, when you've drawed it, add the cc-by-sa-2.5 license, so I can add it in italian wikipedia. Thanks (why not, we can add it to the english wikipedia too!)

When you wrote: "His coaching career is depicted in the 2006 film Glory Road, in which he is portrayed by Josh Lucas." it reads as if the film covers his entire coaching career. I have not seen the film, but it is my understanding that it mainly deals with the events surrounding the 1966 NCAA Championship. Shouldn't it be something like "Coach Rupp is depicted in the 2006 film....."? -- rogerd 00:44, July 4, 2006 (UTC)

I have tried to clarify my comments at the Nitcentral deletion review. Basically my point is that most wikipedians feel that failing WP:WEB is a reason to delete and so unless there is a specific reason that the subject is important anyway (beyond I like it and think it makes wikipedia better) then it should stay deleted.

I saw that breaking the wall. I thought you were being clever. Oh well, I guess I'm a little out of the figures of speech. Anyway, much of the information you add are spoilers. I would encourage you to go back and look over the article to get rid of any spoilers as repeats of the show does air. No offense or anything, but to me, spoilers are the worst thing on wikipedia. My adjectives were fairly accurate, but when I go to a page like I have in the past like South Park (visit the page and see what I mean : / I get so outraged when I look through information and all of a sudden I realize I'm reading everything on a particular show I haven't seen.

Oh, I see where you're coming from. You're right. My stuff is a point of view. But just for the sake of discussion, you didn't think it was outlandish of Linda to try to own a monkey as a pet or go outside banging on pots and pans to cause a big disruption when she didn't get her way with the neighbors. And you didn't think it was kind of outlandish for her to get upset with the courts because they thought she owns to many animals and she got mad because she believed she should have all 20 or 30 of them. And what about Brooke. And what about Brooke. The whole time her dad was trying to hook her up with a huge singing career, she could have this huge life ahead of her, she just whined that he was embarrassing her the whole time even when he wrote that friendly thing in the air using the airplane saying pick my daughter. By the way, your spoiler incident sound frustrating with Harry Potter. lol! Yea, at least put a spoiler warning on the Harry Potter Page. People, I tell ya. lol! Sorry about that. Thanx for signing your name. TareTone 18:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I guess I have no reasons to change the article in regards to what we're talking about then. You make some good points, good points. Although, I guess she doesn't whine enough to called whiny anyway. It's only with her parents. It's not like she whines with Nick or her friends or anything. I remember her whining when her parents tried to make her only eat healthy foods a lot though. I guess that's why I brought it up. The majority of that episode was of her whining about that. That may be tough though, Being a skinny guy, I guess I don't know what it's like to have a hard time staying away from fat foods. Anyway, I thought it was fun talking over our edits. Hopefully we'll run into each other in editing another wiki page :) TareTone 05:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:CeliaCruzMural.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} 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 {{ fairusein|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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 22:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I've deleted his edits to this page containing your personal information. (They're still viewable by administrators; if they're still objectionable in that state, follow the instructions here.) I'm not going to block him, since his actions regarding your name could have resulted from simple cluelessness instead of malice, and his afd shenanigans are two and a half months old. I'll drop him a warning, but I'm going to be out of town for the next few days, so I probably won't be able to follow up on it. Please bring it up again on WP:AN if he continues to be a problem. — Cryptic 02:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:StackBeards.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

Responding to your first question, I'm not trying to imply that citing WP:AGF is incivil, only that enforcing it is. For example, mentioning to "Please assume good faith" would be considered civil, whereas stating that "You have violated WP:AGF, violate it again and you will be reported" is not.
Nor have I menioned that WP:AAGF was a policy that one must follow, only that it contains some suggestions that one could follow, similar to pages like Wikipedia:No angry mastodons or Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot.
As for your second question, usually project edits helps a user to better connect with the community (such as with WP:ESP or WP:PR) or become more experienced with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (such as with WP:AfD and WP:DRV), both of which are qualities needed to become an admin. -- TBCΦ talk? 07:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, because AIV is for reporting blatant vandalism only (a la vandalism after a test4 warning), and your post there didn't appear to fall under that guideline, it is better suited for the Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents where administrators monitor that page, and take care of situations like what you posted on AIV. Your situation will be better handled at that location. Remember that AIV is for reporting blatant, obvious vandalism only, whereas the WP:AN/I is more geared towards situations like what you posted. Hope this helps, // Pilotguy ( Cleared to land) 14:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, it depends... WP:VAND might answer that question. As long as there are test 1-4 warnings on the talk page of a user, then you can report it to AIV. Let me know if I can help with anything else. // Pilotguy ( Cleared to land) 19:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello there, I am glad my review was useful! For deleting images, the best way to do it with fair use images is to unlink it from every article where is being used, and apply the {{subst:orfud}} in the image page. That will indicate the image is a fair use image that is not being used in any article, which would make administrators delete it in a week. Note that you can reupload the image in the same image page (there must be a "Upload new version" or similar link, so when you resize an image, you can just upload it in the same name instead of uploading it as a new image. As for size, you need to consider the width and height primarily. A 30kb jpeg with a resolution of 1024x768 could be considered too big, while a 900kb of 300x300 can be considered fine enough.
Check Help:Minor edit for how to recognize minor edits. Basically, rearranging some information, typos, grammar modifications and fixing links can be considered minor edits. The 35% given by mathbot means that, out of your minor edits, you only used summaries in 35% of them. Note that mathbot retrieves a lot of your edits to calculate that, that means it takes it a lot to find 150 minor edits to calculate.
As for adminship, just try to spend some time at the administrators' board, where you will see how administrators handle different matters. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 13:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for the expansion of the overall content at Speedster Most of it helped. However, as I stated in my comments on the talk page, the version you reverted to had problems, either way. Also, the excessive use of images—which don't necessarily display anything vital to the content—is troubling. Furthermore, I fear you are trying to overgeneralize, perhaps out of the belief that you have no other options. But you do. If you want a general article, I'd recommend making one. How about fictional characters who move at superhuman speeds? The title is unwieldy, but appropriate. Anyway, I hope you can collaberate better and more civilly in the future. Wikipedia is a group effort and I'd hate to see you lose your way by disregarding that fact. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 09:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
This seems to have been discussed already at Talk:Rachel Green, where a survey/vote was held, which resulted in "no move". If you have new information to support a move, I'd suggested posting it there. -- Geniac 16:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:McCullough.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. — BigDT 13:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi ... I just noticed your comment on the IFD page regarding this image. I apologize for not noticing it sooner.
Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information about asking for permission to use other people's content and see [1] for Jimbo's comments on the subject.
The simple version of the image copyright policy is that they have to be "free" as in free speech, not "free" as in free cookies.
If you create a work (such as an image), you own the rights to that image. Even if you grant someone rights to use that image for a particular purpose, you are still the only one who can authorize anything else to be done with that image.
But Wikipedia, as a "free" encyclopedia, requires that all content be available under a "free" license. In short, the creator of this image must be willing to allow anyone to use it for any reason.
If they are willing to release it into the public domain or under an acceptable free license (such as {{ GFDL}} or {{ Cc-by-sa-2.5}}, then that would be fine. But if they are only willing to grant permission for it to be used on Wikipedia, that is insufficient.
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission gives good advice about requesting permission and tells exactly what magic words need to be said.
I hope this helps. If I can help you further, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. BigDT 23:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the problem - if you go back to " For the Cause" You'll see I added a References section and placed code in there to make the your references appear in a list. You have to use that code to get it to work. Cyberia23 20:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I did some checking - and there is another way to do it. If you check out " Where No Man Has Gone Before" you see a reference list with a different code - but if you look at the reference tags in the article they are different than what you and I used. And they are rather complex. This set up however makes one reference link at the bottom for multiple entries that reference the same link. In " For the Cause" you reference only two sources but the list repeats those sources for every reference you made. The other way on WNMHGB lists only one link for multiple references to the same thing, and distiguishes them with a, b, c, etc. I suggest you ask Morwen who was the one who set up that list and ask how she did it. She may be able to help you better than I can. Cyberia23 00:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you left me a message about the stardate a little over a month ago. I apologize for not responding - I haven't been active on Wikipedia for a while. Glad you got things sorted out though. In the future hopefully I'll respond a bit sooner. :-) Moulder 22:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
hiya. ok, I've gone on For the Cause (DS9 episode) and merged the refs. the way it works is, the first time you use a ref you specify a name, like <ref name=thingy>Thingy. Thingy</ref>, and then when you want to refer to that ref again, just do <ref name=thingy />.
I find using the {{cite book}} stuff is nice but not compulsory. Morwen - Talk 11:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
