Welcome to the archives of Paul Robinson's talk page for 2007. |
All of 2007
To allow my main page to be a bit shorter and more relevant, all material from 2007 prior to July has been moved here. Beginning of 2008 I'll probably move through September, depending on how much more is added. So currently this is the first 1/2 of 2007, rather than all of it.
There seems to be a problem with the Template:County1. See List of counties in Illinois as an example. You will see in that article that it is fine until Crawford County, but then it blows up. Same problem on List of counties in Montana. There is some discussion on the talk page for the template. I have played around with the list and have not been able to resolve the problem. I don't know enough about the template to know if it is a problem with the template or something with the way it is used. Jopgaard 03:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Heya. What sort of naming convention are you following when the article has two area code numbers such as Area codes 410 and 443; are you putting the numbers in numerical order, or are you putting the overlay number after the existing area code? Area codes 240 and 301 seem to be in numerical order, but Area codes 703 and 571 appear to have the overlay code after the existing one. - Taco325i 21:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cars 2006 Movie DVD.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 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.

I like what you've done with your template on List of counties in Kentucky. Is it your intention to finish that work, or did you start it for an example for someone else to finish? Since I had just revamped the list, I had intended to nominate it for featured list before you began your work, but now your work will have to be finished before the nomination can happen. Please let me know. Acdixon 18:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Without question, the template makes things cleaner, and the external links ought to preclude the need for the second table. Just wanted to know if I needed to find the time to finish it or if you were coming back to it. I think between the work we've both done, this ought to be a shoe-in for Featured List. Thanks for your help! Acdixon 18:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out this error. I had intended to double-check the list and simply forgot it. I'll locate and add the appropriate information. Acdixon 19:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
This is kind of funny.
I gather you copied the entry for Washington County to create the entry for Wayne County. When I was saving my changes I got an edit conflict. So I checked and found you had added the new information for Wayne County. However, the map specified for Wayne County was the map for Washington County! I did correct that, however. I find it kind of funny, so don't think I'm picking on you. :)

Something seriously weird is going on with your County5 template. It was working fine when List of counties in Kentucky was promoted to featured list, but it looks like some people have been monkeying with it and now it's broken, as you can see by looking at the current state of the list of Kentucky counties. I'm not a good template editor, and at least one other editor has been stumped. Could you take a look and see if you could straighten out the mess someone has made? Thanks. Acdixon 14:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the extremely impressive image map to List of counties in Kentucky. In the interests or readability, I moved it from the very start of the page to lower down. I restored the individual county maps, as they enable anybody reading the article to instantly see where the county there are interested in is. I also dropped the size of the image slightly to prevent horizontal scrollbars (you don't have to chnage the image maps co-ords for that). Tompw ( talk) 11:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on this list. With your addition, it's now even better! I think Tompw's changes are good ones, but there's no question this map is a great new feature. Acdixon 13:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm working on adding some area and ZIP code information to US cities and towns, but need to find boundary files first. Do you have any TIGER files or shapefiles for the area codes of the United States? Any tables related to area codes (such as mapping city/town names to area codes) would also be helpful. The sooner I can get my hands on the data the better, so that I can add it to the articles, so let me know. Thanks, -- CapitalR 01:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed that you are the creator of the article of a court case Glassroth v. Moore. I have a question regarding the case. This case said erecting a Ten Commandment monument at a courthouse is unconstitutional. But in 2003 the case Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia v. Chester County decided by Judge Edward Roy Becker of the Third Circuit ruled that a Ten Commandment display in a courthouse in Pennsylvania is OK. There is apparently conflict between the two cases. Has this conflict been addressed by SCOTUS or any other authority? Wooyi 18:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't think there has been a resolution of this conflict.
Well, having read, at least in part, the PDF of Freethought, I could argue that the court in that case had a different issue. In Glassroth, Chief Justice Moore had a large monument (essentially a large rock or piece of marble, I think) which weighed over a ton, installed right in the middle of the State Supreme Court entrance vestibule where everyone going into the building had to walk past. In Freethought the item in question was a 60-year-old brass plaque on the side of the building, and no real attempt to draw attention to the plaque had been made in decades. I think the issue in Glassroth was solved by moving the monument out of the building and onto a public park. So we still have a public display of the Ten Commandments on public land, but it's not in a place where it's being given attention to or where people otherwise have to go and are thus forced to see a government-sponsored religious display.
I think the issue is not of the government having a monument or display which references the ten commandments as much as placing it in an area where people who are otherwise forced to go there are required to be exposed to a government-mandated display of a religious artifact. Personally I think it's a stretch, but you could argue the Ten Commandments do have at least some legal relevance because of the prohibitions on certain conduct. Thus you can probably get away with the Ten Commandments but displays of a menorah and a baby in a manger are clearly improper. But even then, if the display is in a public park rather than on the grounds of city hall or the courthouse there might be more leeway given since people can decide to go visit the park or not; if they need to see their local representatives or sue or defend a suit, they have to go to the government building. This is probably why courts have found display of the Ten Commandments in schools to be unconstitutional because attendance in buildings of public education is compulsory.
It is arguable that there is enough difference between the two that the two rulings could stand. Take a look at the Lemon test and how the courts - specifically the Supreme Court - treat issues which may be both secular and religious in nature.
Now, if you were a city and wanting to allow a display of a baby in a manger, what you do is have some provision for allowing any group that collects some small number of signatures - say 100 - to be allowed to put up a display related to the holidays in December. They get a space of, say, ten feet by 5 feet. Petitions may be submitted any time, the period to display opens the day after Thanksgiving, and ends the last day of January. Petitioners must post a bond or deposit adequate to cover the cost of removing the display if they fail to do so, the deposit being refunded if they do remove all traces of their display, and there is no restriction on content as long as it is not in bad taste, obscene, etc. Now, as long as you allow anyone who complies with the rules to put up a display, regardless of content, you have a content-neutral display that would be permissible. But in that, if someone who otherwise qualifies wants to put up a satanic display, or an atheist one, they have to allow it. If it's content neutral, even though the content is religious in nature, the display would be permissible.
Personally, I think a display of the Ten Commandments represents a clearly religious-based display because of the provision of things related to the Christian concept of religion and should not be used on a government building. Now, if they only displayed the non-religious articles (which would probably reduce it to The Three Commandments!), I'd personally have no problem with it otherwise.

Hey, I was thinking about nominating Template:20 Singles (which you made) for deletion for several reasons, but am wondering why you created it, and if its existence is still a good idea, and stuff like that. It would be great to know if the template is still worth keeping. Thank you, Gracenotes T § 01:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Somewhere in here, something went horribly awry... I don't have time to dig through it to figure it out right now, but thought if you have time, you might ought be better-prepared to fix it than I... Cheers, Tom e r talk 23:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I have made a change to the userbox on User example to allow people to learn how to look up their statistics page, that tells how many edits they have made. If you don't like this feature, either change it back or let me know. I think it's a nice idea that if someone wants to claim how many edits they've made, they can prove it, or they can look up their edit counts. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 09:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:VA antique sample lic plates.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

When adding the navbox & collapse features to the TV Market templates, please pay attention to the text size in the headers, which looks like this:
{| class="navbox collapsible" style="margin: 0.5em 0em; clear: both;text-align:center; font-size: 95%;border: solid #000000 1px;" align="center" ! style="background:#ccccff;" align="center"|<div style="float:right">{{Tnavbar|Denver TV|mini=1}}</div> '''[[Terrestrial television|Broadcast]] [[Television stations]] in the [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]] market <small> ''[http://www.nielsenmedia.com/DMAs.html (Nielsen DMA #18)]''</small>'''
The font-size must be at 95% -- otherwise, it would look too big.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you're the one who has done numerous clickable maps ( List of counties in Kentucky and List of Texas area codes). Would you be willing to venture to List of counties in Texas and make a map like Image:Texas counties map.gif clickable? If you would, that would be so awsome. Let me know, Thanks.

I've nominated Not at all, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Not at all satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Not at all and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Not at all during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.-- BirgitteSB 21:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
If you are going to make an infobox and throw it into a lot of articles without discussing it first, at the very least put it in the section where it belongs: the end of the article, and not floating in the middle. Please go through and change it on all the articles you edited. DreamGuy 18:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dido 200x200.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 '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.

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.-- Gmaxwell 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I'm a Wiktionary administrator who's glad to see you're still active in Wikimedia. We're in the proces of clearing out the last 50 images and audio files on Wiktionary, and moving them all to Commons. Long, long ago (Jan 2004), you uploaded a couple of images on Wiktionary. Would you mind uploading these two to Commons?
When you do, please let me know so I may delete the versions on Wiktionary without losing any information. Also, if the file names have to change, please let me know what the new names are. I'd do this myself except that Commons has no migration tool that accomodates Wiktionary, so the image would appear under my name rather than yours, and I don't wish to take credit for your work. Thanks, -- EncycloPetey 20:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed and declined your request to delete the redirect List of disco artists (L-Z). If you click "what links here", all the main articles still point to the L-Z list, so the redirect is helpful in directing users who click links to the correct article location. If all of the links were changed, you'd have a better case for deletion. If you are still interested in pursuing the matter, please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.- Andrew c [talk] 23:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for creating the map. I moved it into {{ Infobox bridge}} in those articles so the layout would look a little cleaner.
By the way, the Short Line Bridge over the Mississippi River is still open, though not in the greatest shape. CP Rail (or Minnesota Commercial Railway) made some repairs to the bridge after last summer's fireworks vandalism, and as far as I know, trains are using the bridge again. You might want to update the map. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
A few templates you created,
Template:AprilThuCalendar,
Template:Area code 351 & 978, and

here and feel free to remove the {{

Ah great idea for the films using the bold letter headers!! I thought I was having to do thes elists I created alone!!. Any work you can do will be more than appreciated ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 19:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
However creatong a Template:Film Record is a terrible idea and has messed up the 2006 tables. How are users editing supposed to know which column is which when editing???? It also messes up the page alignment - I would like to use the full width of the page thankyou like 2007. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Whilst your work them is great can we please stick to the standard tables just with your letter headers - the problem is is that using templates to contruct tables is a bad idea. One slight change to the template and the whole entire list of films will be affected and it makes editing them confusing and difficult. Can we stick to standard please but incorporate your letter divides? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
For instance you sleect edit on tha tables expecting to see the tables and you see just a {{{{{1}}}}}. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

List of North American area codes was moved to List of NANP area codes and turned into a disambiguation page. That editor didn't fix any of those links so there are now a few hundred ambiguous links left pointing at this page. As many of these links were added by you (e.g. here) I thought you might be interested. Unfortunately, instead of being part of a template these links are plain old links, so there's no easy fix.

I noticed on this map [1] showed Cottle county and others to have area code 940. I'm certain that Cottle county and others nearby have the 817 area code, though I'm not sure about where one starts and the other ends, but this map [2] may be a little closer to what it really is.

Excuse the delay in not responding, I did see your first message but I got sidetracked by other issues. I have one for the whole country, which I haven't completely checked for accuracy. I've been busy with some other things. I have since discovered a (blank) map covering the U.S. and Canada (not just the U.S.) so I'm considering moving my map to that one as a base for the complete map.

The strangest thing just happened. I was reverting some vandalism, nothing too strange about that unfortunately, but the article itself, 4F, just seemed like a piece of garbage about a band that did not even seem to exist. The article was pure idiot nonsense. So, I tagged it db-band, and was just about to place a notice for same on the article creator's page, which according to the article history, was you. But, looking at your userpage, your list of contributions, etc., you did not seem the sort to create such an idiotic article. So, I looked back at the edit history, and found that MirokuX7 had hijacked what was by now a redirect to the Selective Service System article and turned it into the putrid mess I just a few moments ago restored to its status as a redirect. It never ceases to amaze me, the stunts people will pull. I thought you might it interesting. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 04:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... I created both templates... forgive me, but I have no idea what the use is of the new cy template. Kennewick, Washington doesn't really take longer to write than {{subst:cy|Kennewick|Washington}} ... so could you explain the new use? (My userpage was the only use of cy for the obvious reason that it's always substituted... I've found it to be a helpful redirect, personally.) Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Slider widget.png. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, just wanted to let you know that while we appericate you adding the animated flags to the radio market templates, they are techincally not allowed and have been removed. The only flags allowed are like these and they are only to be used on pages about states, the towns in them, etc. Radio templates pretty much stay as they are. Now, if you would like to try and incorporate the little flags, please post on WP:WPRS, WP:VP and WP:AN and get consensus there. I doubt that will happen (most admin allow those tiny flags like above on city/state pages) but it is worth a shot.
Good job, though, on being bold with your edits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Take Care.... NeutralHomer T: C 14:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

On Commons, you contributed a magenta radiation warning symbol Image:radiation warning symbol-US.svg, which amazingly enough, is something less than 500 bytes. Then someone had the one for black on yellow, which you substituted another one, and while theirs was 5K, yours was again only about 412 bytes. However, yours was black with no background rather than black on yellow, so they reverted it. I took your symbol, put a yellow square behind it, and it comes up 2 1/2K. I looked at the file in Wordpad (fortunately SVG images are text rather than binary) and discovered Inkscape adds a lot of metadata which isn't really necessary for interpreting the image (or at least it isn't in this case), so I cut and pasted the rectangle as text from one to the other, and I come up with one that's 720 bytes, which is amazing, so I have replaced the previous one which was 5K. I have also re-uploaded the one you did so that it is also available by itself.
I have to admit that I was unaware of how much power the SVG specification has in terms of making images that can be much smaller (due to the capability for an image to replicate and rotate part of itself.) I like SVG for its capacity to automatically resize as the image is shrunk or expanded, but I didn't realize how really versatile it is, or how a master of the specification such as your self can do amazing things with it.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Pepper-spray_flashlight, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{

Welcome to the archives of Paul Robinson's talk page for 2007. |
All of 2007
To allow my main page to be a bit shorter and more relevant, all material from 2007 prior to July has been moved here. Beginning of 2008 I'll probably move through September, depending on how much more is added. So currently this is the first 1/2 of 2007, rather than all of it.
There seems to be a problem with the Template:County1. See List of counties in Illinois as an example. You will see in that article that it is fine until Crawford County, but then it blows up. Same problem on List of counties in Montana. There is some discussion on the talk page for the template. I have played around with the list and have not been able to resolve the problem. I don't know enough about the template to know if it is a problem with the template or something with the way it is used. Jopgaard 03:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Heya. What sort of naming convention are you following when the article has two area code numbers such as Area codes 410 and 443; are you putting the numbers in numerical order, or are you putting the overlay number after the existing area code? Area codes 240 and 301 seem to be in numerical order, but Area codes 703 and 571 appear to have the overlay code after the existing one. - Taco325i 21:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I like what you've done with your template on List of counties in Kentucky. Is it your intention to finish that work, or did you start it for an example for someone else to finish? Since I had just revamped the list, I had intended to nominate it for featured list before you began your work, but now your work will have to be finished before the nomination can happen. Please let me know. Acdixon 18:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Without question, the template makes things cleaner, and the external links ought to preclude the need for the second table. Just wanted to know if I needed to find the time to finish it or if you were coming back to it. I think between the work we've both done, this ought to be a shoe-in for Featured List. Thanks for your help! Acdixon 18:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out this error. I had intended to double-check the list and simply forgot it. I'll locate and add the appropriate information. Acdixon 19:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
This is kind of funny.
I gather you copied the entry for Washington County to create the entry for Wayne County. When I was saving my changes I got an edit conflict. So I checked and found you had added the new information for Wayne County. However, the map specified for Wayne County was the map for Washington County! I did correct that, however. I find it kind of funny, so don't think I'm picking on you. :)

Something seriously weird is going on with your County5 template. It was working fine when List of counties in Kentucky was promoted to featured list, but it looks like some people have been monkeying with it and now it's broken, as you can see by looking at the current state of the list of Kentucky counties. I'm not a good template editor, and at least one other editor has been stumped. Could you take a look and see if you could straighten out the mess someone has made? Thanks. Acdixon 14:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the extremely impressive image map to List of counties in Kentucky. In the interests or readability, I moved it from the very start of the page to lower down. I restored the individual county maps, as they enable anybody reading the article to instantly see where the county there are interested in is. I also dropped the size of the image slightly to prevent horizontal scrollbars (you don't have to chnage the image maps co-ords for that). Tompw ( talk) 11:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on this list. With your addition, it's now even better! I think Tompw's changes are good ones, but there's no question this map is a great new feature. Acdixon 13:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm working on adding some area and ZIP code information to US cities and towns, but need to find boundary files first. Do you have any TIGER files or shapefiles for the area codes of the United States? Any tables related to area codes (such as mapping city/town names to area codes) would also be helpful. The sooner I can get my hands on the data the better, so that I can add it to the articles, so let me know. Thanks, -- CapitalR 01:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed that you are the creator of the article of a court case Glassroth v. Moore. I have a question regarding the case. This case said erecting a Ten Commandment monument at a courthouse is unconstitutional. But in 2003 the case Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia v. Chester County decided by Judge Edward Roy Becker of the Third Circuit ruled that a Ten Commandment display in a courthouse in Pennsylvania is OK. There is apparently conflict between the two cases. Has this conflict been addressed by SCOTUS or any other authority? Wooyi 18:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't think there has been a resolution of this conflict.
Well, having read, at least in part, the PDF of Freethought, I could argue that the court in that case had a different issue. In Glassroth, Chief Justice Moore had a large monument (essentially a large rock or piece of marble, I think) which weighed over a ton, installed right in the middle of the State Supreme Court entrance vestibule where everyone going into the building had to walk past. In Freethought the item in question was a 60-year-old brass plaque on the side of the building, and no real attempt to draw attention to the plaque had been made in decades. I think the issue in Glassroth was solved by moving the monument out of the building and onto a public park. So we still have a public display of the Ten Commandments on public land, but it's not in a place where it's being given attention to or where people otherwise have to go and are thus forced to see a government-sponsored religious display.
I think the issue is not of the government having a monument or display which references the ten commandments as much as placing it in an area where people who are otherwise forced to go there are required to be exposed to a government-mandated display of a religious artifact. Personally I think it's a stretch, but you could argue the Ten Commandments do have at least some legal relevance because of the prohibitions on certain conduct. Thus you can probably get away with the Ten Commandments but displays of a menorah and a baby in a manger are clearly improper. But even then, if the display is in a public park rather than on the grounds of city hall or the courthouse there might be more leeway given since people can decide to go visit the park or not; if they need to see their local representatives or sue or defend a suit, they have to go to the government building. This is probably why courts have found display of the Ten Commandments in schools to be unconstitutional because attendance in buildings of public education is compulsory.
It is arguable that there is enough difference between the two that the two rulings could stand. Take a look at the Lemon test and how the courts - specifically the Supreme Court - treat issues which may be both secular and religious in nature.
Now, if you were a city and wanting to allow a display of a baby in a manger, what you do is have some provision for allowing any group that collects some small number of signatures - say 100 - to be allowed to put up a display related to the holidays in December. They get a space of, say, ten feet by 5 feet. Petitions may be submitted any time, the period to display opens the day after Thanksgiving, and ends the last day of January. Petitioners must post a bond or deposit adequate to cover the cost of removing the display if they fail to do so, the deposit being refunded if they do remove all traces of their display, and there is no restriction on content as long as it is not in bad taste, obscene, etc. Now, as long as you allow anyone who complies with the rules to put up a display, regardless of content, you have a content-neutral display that would be permissible. But in that, if someone who otherwise qualifies wants to put up a satanic display, or an atheist one, they have to allow it. If it's content neutral, even though the content is religious in nature, the display would be permissible.
Personally, I think a display of the Ten Commandments represents a clearly religious-based display because of the provision of things related to the Christian concept of religion and should not be used on a government building. Now, if they only displayed the non-religious articles (which would probably reduce it to The Three Commandments!), I'd personally have no problem with it otherwise.

I have made a change to the userbox on User example to allow people to learn how to look up their statistics page, that tells how many edits they have made. If you don't like this feature, either change it back or let me know. I think it's a nice idea that if someone wants to claim how many edits they've made, they can prove it, or they can look up their edit counts. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 09:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:VA antique sample lic plates.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.-- Gmaxwell 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I'm a Wiktionary administrator who's glad to see you're still active in Wikimedia. We're in the proces of clearing out the last 50 images and audio files on Wiktionary, and moving them all to Commons. Long, long ago (Jan 2004), you uploaded a couple of images on Wiktionary. Would you mind uploading these two to Commons?
When you do, please let me know so I may delete the versions on Wiktionary without losing any information. Also, if the file names have to change, please let me know what the new names are. I'd do this myself except that Commons has no migration tool that accomodates Wiktionary, so the image would appear under my name rather than yours, and I don't wish to take credit for your work. Thanks, -- EncycloPetey 20:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
your edit http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia%3AMeetup%2FDC_2&diff=145390244&oldid=145359840 isn't right - they haven't required permits in quite some time, just FYI. Aaronw 17:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed and declined your request to delete the redirect List of disco artists (L-Z). If you click "what links here", all the main articles still point to the L-Z list, so the redirect is helpful in directing users who click links to the correct article location. If all of the links were changed, you'd have a better case for deletion. If you are still interested in pursuing the matter, please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.- Andrew c [talk] 23:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for creating the map. I moved it into {{ Infobox bridge}} in those articles so the layout would look a little cleaner.
By the way, the Short Line Bridge over the Mississippi River is still open, though not in the greatest shape. CP Rail (or Minnesota Commercial Railway) made some repairs to the bridge after last summer's fireworks vandalism, and as far as I know, trains are using the bridge again. You might want to update the map. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
A few templates you created,
Template:AprilThuCalendar,
Template:Area code 351 & 978, and
Template:Area code Canada footer, have been marked for deletion as deprecated and orphaned templates. If, after 14 days, there have been no objections, the templates will be deleted. If you wish to object to their deletion, please list your objections
here and feel free to remove the {{
deprecated}}
tag from the templates. If you feel the deletions are appropriate, no further action is necessary. Cheers. --

Ah great idea for the films using the bold letter headers!! I thought I was having to do thes elists I created alone!!. Any work you can do will be more than appreciated ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 19:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
However creatong a Template:Film Record is a terrible idea and has messed up the 2006 tables. How are users editing supposed to know which column is which when editing???? It also messes up the page alignment - I would like to use the full width of the page thankyou like 2007. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Whilst your work them is great can we please stick to the standard tables just with your letter headers - the problem is is that using templates to contruct tables is a bad idea. One slight change to the template and the whole entire list of films will be affected and it makes editing them confusing and difficult. Can we stick to standard please but incorporate your letter divides? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
For instance you sleect edit on tha tables expecting to see the tables and you see just a {{{{{1}}}}}. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Can we keep it like American films of 1993 ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 20:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bug 2007 movie poster.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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:50, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

31st century, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that 31st century satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/31st century and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of 31st century during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Rambutan ( talk) 16:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
List of North American area codes was moved to List of NANP area codes and turned into a disambiguation page. That editor didn't fix any of those links so there are now a few hundred ambiguous links left pointing at this page. As many of these links were added by you (e.g. here) I thought you might be interested. Unfortunately, instead of being part of a template these links are plain old links, so there's no easy fix.

Hi, I tagged this as vandalism since I could find no sources - however you clearly are an exchange expert so it may in fact be original research. Needs some sources either way. Regards

I noticed on this map [1] showed Cottle county and others to have area code 940. I'm certain that Cottle county and others nearby have the 817 area code, though I'm not sure about where one starts and the other ends, but this map [2] may be a little closer to what it really is.

I noticed some maps of area codes from you, do you have a map for all area codes, or just certain ones? Ctjf83 13:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Excuse the delay in not responding, I did see your first message but I got sidetracked by other issues. I have one for the whole country, which I haven't completely checked for accuracy. I've been busy with some other things. I have since discovered a (blank) map covering the U.S. and Canada (not just the U.S.) so I'm considering moving my map to that one as a base for the complete map. If you're interested I can let you have a copy subject to the understanding it might have errors or omissions. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 01:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a map of Iowa now available, Image:Area code IA.svg, check out the page for Area code 712 for an example. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 03:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

The strangest thing just happened. I was reverting some vandalism, nothing too strange about that unfortunately, but the article itself, 4F, just seemed like a piece of garbage about a band that did not even seem to exist. The article was pure idiot nonsense. So, I tagged it db-band, and was just about to place a notice for same on the article creator's page, which according to the article history, was you. But, looking at your userpage, your list of contributions, etc., you did not seem the sort to create such an idiotic article. So, I looked back at the edit history, and found that MirokuX7 had hijacked what was by now a redirect to the Selective Service System article and turned it into the putrid mess I just a few moments ago restored to its status as a redirect. It never ceases to amaze me, the stunts people will pull. I thought you might it interesting. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 04:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... I created both templates... forgive me, but I have no idea what the use is of the new cy template. Kennewick, Washington doesn't really take longer to write than {{subst:cy|Kennewick|Washington}} ... so could you explain the new use? (My userpage was the only use of cy for the obvious reason that it's always substituted... I've found it to be a helpful redirect, personally.) Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Slider widget.png. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Slider widget.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed.

Hello, just wanted to let you know that while we appericate you adding the animated flags to the radio market templates, they are techincally not allowed and have been removed. The only flags allowed are like these and they are only to be used on pages about states, the towns in them, etc. Radio templates pretty much stay as they are. Now, if you would like to try and incorporate the little flags, please post on WP:WPRS, WP:VP and WP:AN and get consensus there. I doubt that will happen (most admin allow those tiny flags like above on city/state pages) but it is worth a shot.
Good job, though, on being bold with your edits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Take Care.... NeutralHomer T: C 14:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:CapnCrunch.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png is an image with a clearly invalid fair use tag; or it is an image that fails some part of the
non-free content criteria and the uploader has been given 48 hours' notification (for images uploaded after
2006-07-13) or seven days' notification (for images uploaded before that date). (
CSD I7).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at

On Commons, you contributed a magenta radiation warning symbol Image:radiation warning symbol-US.svg, which amazingly enough, is something less than 500 bytes. Then someone had the one for black on yellow, which you substituted another one, and while theirs was 5K, yours was again only about 412 bytes. However, yours was black with no background rather than black on yellow, so they reverted it. I took your symbol, put a yellow square behind it, and it comes up 2 1/2K. I looked at the file in Wordpad (fortunately SVG images are text rather than binary) and discovered Inkscape adds a lot of metadata which isn't really necessary for interpreting the image (or at least it isn't in this case), so I cut and pasted the rectangle as text from one to the other, and I come up with one that's 720 bytes, which is amazing, so I have replaced the previous one which was 5K. I have also re-uploaded the one you did so that it is also available by itself.
I have to admit that I was unaware of how much power the SVG specification has in terms of making images that can be much smaller (due to the capability for an image to replicate and rotate part of itself.) I like SVG for its capacity to automatically resize as the image is shrunk or expanded, but I didn't realize how really versatile it is, or how a master of the specification such as your self can do amazing things with it.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Pepper-spray_flashlight, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
