Your comment on User talk:El C is misplaced. El_C removed the childish vandalism; he didn't add it. User:L0gic is your vandal. TacoDeposit 02:47, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks - I had just figured that out even as you noticed - and corrected my mistaken post. El_C was the ANTI-vandal and I'm adding a nice page for LOgic.
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 28% for major edits and 33% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 141 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Your fair use claim doesn't fly. Fair use would only work if it were being used to illustrate an article about AP. This is a copyrighted image, and its use in Wikipedia to illustrate the James Webb article is a copyright violation. User:Zoe| (talk) 03:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Saw you user page and that you are a 22 year Marines Thought you might be interested in helping us with the new USMC portal if you have some time. Yut-- Looper5920 19:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't think the webmaster of Webb's website has the legal authority to release an AP photo. Only AP can do that. However, copyright authorizations require explicit permissions -- see Wikipedia:Copyright problems#Instructions for special cases. User:Zoe| (talk) 21:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were telling me. Well, see the link above for how to handle the permission. User:Zoe| (talk) 22:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
In the end, Webb's people released on of THEIR photos, not an AP photo. SimonATL 22:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I added a page on the 10th Marines, a unit in which I assigned for almost 4 years as a young lt and Forward observer (FO). The USMC Historical Center, a number of years back begain publishing regimental histories. Accordingly, I got a PDF file called "A Brief History of the 10th Marines." from this guy who sells them for pennies plus shipping. I'll begin revising the article ASAP. I was a history major and enjoy the work. Also, I've contributed stuff to the articles on Theodore Roosevelt and his large family and emailed his great-great grandson on some fact finding. SimonATL 23:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your contribution. I actually did find an audio link at NPR with the recording you mentioned, and I listened to it. I ultimately decided against including it because at the time I wasn't that sure about the authenticity and validity of his recollections generations after the fact. Also I think at the time I was editing I thought this recording focused much more on a "history lesson for the kids" type of story rather than very much in the way of details specific to Gettysburg on that day. Of course, I'm just another editor, not the final authority on this, and probably you are right to have added it. Best, Kaisershatner 15:18, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Simon, with all due respect, in reply to your comments on my talk page: "You apparently did not read my discussion of the background of this recording." Actually, I did. I think rather, it is you who have failed to read my comments above, where I say that "probably you are right to have added it," and where I explained that I wasn't confident about his recollections "generations after the fact" (ie, in 1938 when he made the recording), and where I wrote "this recording focused much more on a 'history lesson for the kids'" than about the reading of the Gettysburg Address. In any case, since I agree with your addition and admit it's just my POV about the other things, I'm not clear on why exactly your plan is "I'm going to take this up with the appeals process as this thing is authentic." What is it that you are appealing? Some free advice: you'll waste less time if you don't fight with someone who isn't arguing with you.
As for the rest of your lengthy comments, "The very fact that in his life, he did not try to sell or push this fact...actually supports its validity." I understand that is your opinion. "I'm convinced of its authenticity." Wonderful! "He became a well-respected religious writer, public lecturer and a director of the Christian Science church. (NO relation to wierdo Scientology, by the way and publisher of the Christian Science Monitor winner of 7 Pulitizer Prizes)." Thanks, I know the difference, although I'm usually a bit more respectful about other people's religious beliefs - and plenty I people I've spoken to think Christian Science is a bit wacky, FWIW. "What kind of "proof" do you need." I don't need any. As I mentioned twice above, I think you are probably right to have added it, and I certainly don't have a problem with the article asserting this is a recording of a guy who says he remembers being there. That's exactly what it is, and it's probably true that he was there and remembers it. I don't see a conflict here, but if you want to "argue" with me about it, then that's ok I guess - it's a free country and all. Best, Kaisershatner 16:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you've changed the images in the Vivien Leigh article. I appreciate that you have worked on the article to try to improve it. I have a couple of concerns. Firstly, the 1958 image of her is the only public domain image we have of her. As Wikipedia should at all times be promoting free use as much as possible, it should be the lead image. The copyright status is a greater consideration that the aesthetic. The first image of her in the barbecue dress was, a few months ago, the image in use. It was deleted because of concerns over copyright. I don't think that is now an issue because you've addressed the image description page, but its fair use status is less than the public domain status of the other, and therefore it's less suitable. I also feel that a fair use argument for two images from or relating to the same film, weakens the fair use case. The previous screenshot depicted her in character, "acting", and I think is a suitable image.
On a personal note, I am the author of this article, and although I fully realize that I do not "own" it, I do intend to keep an eye on it and ensure that it maintains its legitimacy. I'm slightly affronted that your edit summaries for the replacement of the images read "better image" chosen etc. This is a matter of opinion, and I don't think they are better images necessarily, just different, and the one of her and Gable is really the same image we've seen a thousand times. I feel frustrated that after spending several weeks writing the article, watching Gone with the Wind virtually frame by frame to find a suitable screenshot, and then nominating and seeing it through to Featured article status, the entire look of the article has been changed in the space of a few edits and a short amount of time. While the "be bold" principle is fine, I think discussing radical changes is at the very least good etiquette, especially for a featured article. - The community promoted the previous article, but might not have promoted the current version, as the use of images was discussed considerably during the process. I'm concerned the case for fair use is now weaker than it was. I'm going to revert them, and I hope and request that before making any further changes you could perhaps discuss it on the talk page.

what a kook she was! I guess we all got some comic relief--and I only hope my death photo looks as handsome as Lincoln's. :) Rjensen 04:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Rjensen...you disgraced wiki for attacking my character here as well as now illegaly removing my edit on your page for the blight you did against me on the Lincoln Talk page, and stirred up A HORNETS NEST, that would be having everyone against me for what in the end became a debate for even trying... to get the truth out as many scholars have in the past, and whom continue to debate that photograph you smeared as a hoax and a lie, to this day more and more....why?
You illegaly removed my departure note to you on your wiki user page in violation of wiki policy, If I cant do it, nor can you! and they have been informed.
I have had several views of an old photograph that would clear it up, but some others use my screen name cathitreks or cathy treks or cathytreks , they are NOT me yet why does everybody have it out for me here for trying to show the truth as I believe it to be!?
I only sought the acceptance of my proofs ..........and have miserably failed. I am leaving your cleec (sp)...now sadly for me, yet maybe happily for many here after the latest attacks and smears for me, for what I genuinely believe in., and now some comments about my credentials that do not dignify a reply,
Fine...im leaving the Lincoln page you decide upon, and the narrow mindedness forever, here in what seems to be a ROSE COLOURED Lincoln Candyland only!...But folks, let us never leave the man in our hearts!
A PERSONAL HERO TO MANY!
ABRAHAM LINCOLN!
I'm sadly leaving this place filled with much misunderstanding from many of the wiki "comunity" and withdraw from all of you, those who dont understand my sincere motives over a issue that seems hopeless to show or debate even amounst most of you, im sorry.,... I'm really very sorry, goodbye everybody..... I only sought truth.
I am heartsick over some of the attacks upon a sincere belief regardng the evidence I tried to present, my cousin in N.Z. did post under my name with my blessings as she believed too and tried to help show we were right, sorry you dont agree.
I really wonder what Lincoln would say over it all if he could?....
Somehow I believe he'd be sorry for we who sought the truth as some of the few here did, unlike the sheep who followed the wolves
shalom
....."a couple of misunderstood jewish girl's from both the old and new worlds bow from the stage here forever on this debate."
So...see ya round the galaxy guys!...oh..."kook , eh? Rjensen".....we shall see. ( Cathytreks 14:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC))
Hi, the toolserver [2] shows you have about 20 images missing source and license info. You might want to go fix them up before the untagged image elves get there, scrub them out of all articles, and delete. Most are probably PD, which should make it a pretty quick cleanup task. Thanks for helping! Stan 06:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:BullochfrmL.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

Hi! Thanks for the explanation! I think the article itself should explain the notability; it is less useful on my talk page. Now the bulk of the article is about other people and events before Joanna Sturm was even born; it is hard to spot why Joanna Sturm was notable herself. Weregerbil 09:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I saw your comment to Looper5920. I have an article request that seems right up your alley. I'm putting the finishing touches on Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (it will soon be promoted to featured article). On the FAC page for that article, it was mentioned that we don't have an article on artillery spotting. Would you be interested in writing one? Raul654 02:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Lots of rambling here, but you get my point. A quite interesting topic. Another consideration. To do this right would really require extensive graphics - you know, parabolic arches and stuff and maps of the spotter, the target, the battery and how all that comes together in the Fire Direction Center (FDC). By they way, looper, with your great math/tech/science background you would have been like #1 in your class at Fort Sill in the Basic Officer Course (BOC) and the Field Artillery Cource (FAC). Seriously, you would have wadded thru that stuff. They take the math brainiacs and put them RIGHT in that FDC where they call the shots and the Army LOVES the HELL out of good gunnery officers. You have NO idea how much and how FAR these guys can go. I was more music/art than math/science, so I had to "make" myself study the stuff, but I got good at it, actually and became an FDC inspector for a time, double-checking for their accuracy.
So, let's discuss the breadth and scope of this stuff. By they way, I couldn't help but notice that you're kind of at the top of the wiki food chain and probably inhabiting some secret temple on Wiki Mt. Olympus. Just how did this stuff evolve as far as it has? Its really quite sophisticated, IMHO (well, Marines have a hard time being humble) anyway, how do people become editors, admins and the like?
I've written a fair number of articles, including some totally new stuff and my background in ancient civilizations, Latin, some Greek, etc, has been helpful - dude - even Wiki articles in Latin! Anyway, as a medieval (sp) dude stuck in the 21st Century, Wiki is right up my alley, and unlike too damned many people, I can actually write a coherent English paragraph and some Spanish and French too boot.
Do you dudes have like Wiki conventions where you wear like the wiki version of Star Trek costumes and have Wiki groupies and hangers on? I mean what's the extent of this wiki culture? Call me some time. You can email me at SimonATL (at) yahoo.com cause I'd like to take about 20 minutes to get my hands around this whole wiki universe. I've been too busy editing in English, Spanish and Latin to notice much of the background wiring in the walls and cultural/political stuff like that.
Hey, you're the featured article guy. Then you'll notice how much I've expanded the Theodore Roosevelt article, subject matter wise, much more interesting photos. Others like that Lee guy did the footnoting. I also added the entire section on his trip up the River of Doubt in 1913. And know what, because of all that work, and my writing an article on the Theodore Roosevelt (TRA) organization and on TR's great-great grandson, Tweed Roosevelt, I came to the attention of the Roosevelt family and they invited me to become a member of their Strategic Advisory Board to look at how IT and the Web can help them. So, you see, sometimes their are unintended consequences. Anyway, I'll help, but I've burned up so much time, I'll have to allot my hours, dig? thanks SimonATL 05:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
You have been busy! :)
What a "world" it is with links that take you everwhere! Found some great pics of James Dunwoody Bulloch and added an article on his brother, Irvine Bulloch, uncles of TR.
Been looking at Spanish articles, French and even some Russian and Arabic - Sergius Witte Russian plenipotentiary during the negotiations over the Russo-Japanese War. Amazing how some corrupt Latin American dictator who died in Paris while undergoing Syphilis treatment (in English) is described as having died while visiting his mother (in Spanish) what a hoot! SimonATL 19:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome. I try to tone down the hagiography that some Wikipedians apply to Chamberlain. Although he was an admirable man, The Movie has elevated him to godlike status among some. And he himself did little to discourage that sort of thing. Hal Jespersen 00:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Made some tweaks correcting the source and expanding the section slightly on the impersonalist interpretation of Rev 12, but think it stays within NPOV, and other details needed touchup anyway. Had heard the Rathvon reminiscence, it's definitely an interesting listen. If you get the chance, you might clarify earlier on the MMC article that it was basically resubsumed into the Board of Ed. Chris Rodgers 06:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, made a few more tweeks. The archives at The Mary Baker Eddy Library was wonderful help to get clear on some dates. I had a chance to check out the reported letter that was sent to teachers. I went through old letters from my class. I couldn't find a copy. There wasn't any mention of agreement or disagreement with Knapps theology. Do you have a copy of the letter as a source? Wasn't sure which part was being referred to with reference to the former archivist's letters. Did he write the six pages? Was it sent to churches? Was it sent to the Board? That part was unclear. Simplywater 06:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Simon. Our old friend rjensen is up to his old tricks and has written an article called "Democrat Party" that dignifies this term. Wikipedia is considering deleting the Democrat Party (United States) article. I hope you will weigh in on the topic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Democrat_Party_(United_States) I believe an article about this perjorative term doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Griot 00:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Simon, do you have a source for the letter you added as I was thinking of moving it to wikisource. Thanks AllanHainey 11:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes - I'm unaware of what wikisource is about and for which is why I posted the letter here, because I'd never seen the entire item in any Roosevelt bio. The original letter is up for sale on Ebay for $8,499,99 and the URL is: http://cgi.ebay.com/THEODORE-ROOSEVELT-Letter-of-Resignation-NYPD_W0QQitemZ320000215450QQihZ011QQcategoryZ33776QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem SimonATL 11:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Theodore Roosevelt III article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Ardric47 21:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Not sure why you've asked me as I'm not an admin on wikipedia. But I think all the details are at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, just read it and add your name I think. AllanHainey 11:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello,
I noticed that you have done some work on the Theodore Roosevelt Article. This is more of a technical question than anything. I tried to add the Category: Deaths by cardiovascular disease, but when it entered edit mode the Category section wasn't there. Perhaps you have more experience with this type of thing than I. Can you help?
Regards,

Thanks for uploading Image:Universal-smithSS1500.jpg. I notice 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 23:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I have moved your contribution to Historicity of Jesus regarding Pilate to Talk:Pontius Pilate. The historicity article is already on the long side, and it seems rather off topic to discuss the historicity of someone who isn't Jesus. Maybe if there was an article New Testament and history or Historicity of the Gospels or something similar, this could fit. But I think including this info at the Pontius Pilate article is best for now. I hope you understand. Thanks.- Andrew c [talk] 02:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WMRathvonLYP5892.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Normally we avoid speculation about the subject itself on an articles talk page, which is why I'm responding to it on your talk page. I would disagree that Grant was necessary for the end of the war to come about, and generally feel that the focus on military tactics is one of the reasons why people are surprised that the Union, which generally lacked clear tactical victories, won so resoundingly in the war. There were simply too many structural problems within the Confederacy to effect the outcome of the war; by 1863 Confederate supply lines, labor, and morale were in free fall. Desertion was rampant, lack of exchange for vital war supplies nonexistent, the collapse of slavery as slaves either ran for it, or joined the Army (which in turn led to the inability to grow food or the cotton necessary to maintain the war physically and financially). The greatest tactical battle plans in the world matter little if your soldiers ar ehungry, have no shoes, and have holes in their shirts. SiberioS ( talk) 03:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Poppy Harlow requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Hello SimonATL -
In response to your comments on my Talk page responding to my edits of the LBH article - please allow me to clarify.
I've done some of the writing, a lot of the re-writing, and quite a bit of the guarding of this article over the last 2 1/2 years - if you check the talk page (bottom half) you'll see some of the extensive discussions I've had with editors who tried to bend the article in one way or the other [mainly to either pro-Custer/anti-Reno|Benteen or vice versa, or to a non-historical glorification/demonization of one side or the other].
Now, I've always enjoyed your edits and have found them insightful and constructive. Correcting typos is just a minor thing - but I think you've misunderstood my edit summary slightly. My two edits to your content were first, putting a citation needed tag after your comment that students of the battle criticize Reno to this day for putting the Ree scouts on the left flank.
That was not the POV I alluded to. I'm sure that that statement can be substantiated from any of a number of good sources. I put the tag there because of the fact that this article was first de-listed as a good article and later a second time denied that status precisely because of a lack of citation for significant points, of which this would be one.
My POV language comment was intended for this part that I took out: - "his body was surrounded by senior officer and enlisted members of his command including his 1st Sergeant and others who chose not to flee, but to fight to the end with their much loved leader."
As the rest of your edits indicate, and as I have had to fight tooth and nail to preserve in the article, we have no accurate, certain way of knowing what happened to anyone who died in Custer's command. There is another editor and published analysis by experts that maintain that the whole Custer fight was a disastrous rout that was over in 20 minutes with no organized resistance - and there are Lakota accounts that say so. But Lakota accounts are terribly contradictory, and though we may speculate that Keogh was wounded and that his men on the ridge refused to abandon him - there are fifty other scenarios equally possible, including that they were completely surrounded and unable to flee. Your edit attributes an action that we cannot prove to a motive that we have know certain way of knowing.
I'm quite a Keogh fan myself and believe that this fascinating character did in fact keep his men in disciplined order to the last. But I can't prove that, and no one can, much less why his men stayed in apparently good order. Your edits remain completely viable without the one removed phrase.
Two final points. I have indeed walked all of these two battlefields completely twice, and I agree that no amount of reading about the battle informs a student of it as much as actually being there and seeing the perspectives that the combatants saw.
Second - just for readability, this paragraph needs to be broken up. It has become just one massive block of print and needs a little space at a couple of points. IMHO.
I look forward to further additions from you to the article. Sensei48 ( talk) 03:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Helo SimonATL -
I appreciate the enthusiasm and intelligence of your supported and referenced edits to LBH. There are, though, several significant problems with some aspects of them. I too busy right now at work to put the kind of time into working with the article that I like, but there are two that I can mention immediately.
a) the legend has disappeared from the animated map, due to re-sizing and losing the caption. The captions are absolutely necessary for the general reader's understanding of this excellent map. Who is A? C? C? D? These must be identified below the map or its usefulness is mitigated - and it is a clearer, easier to understand resource than the non-animated older map posted opposite it - note that the animated map depicts the railroad there now, properly orienting battlefield visitors.
The headings for each section - some of which do serve the purpose of breaking up the article, but others of which are superfluous - are uniformly much too long. Wiki guidelines require economy of words in these headings and sub-headings - three or four words at most and in no case complete sentences. Look, for example, at the infobox and headings for Sitting Bull. Three, four, or five words per heading are optimal. I'm going to change the section after "Prelude to Battle" (original title and better than what is there now) as an example. I'm sure that this can be done and equally sure that unless we change these the article will never be in line with the rest of Wikipedia and will never achieve good article WP:GA status.

Hello to you Simon, and best wishes for the New Year! It's been a pleasure working on LBH with you, and your extensive knowledge of the battle site continues to be a wonderful asset to the development of the article. Doktorschley is indeed a fine writer and a committed student of the battle; he and I sometimes disagree on just how much can be said objectively about GAC's many failings and how "balanced" the article needs to be. That reminds me - have we ever located a source that we could use to substantiate the likelihood of Keogh's men protecting him due to loyalty? I know his popularity with his men is out there - maybe in Jeffrey Wert's book, or Evan Connell's. You did a great job with the bullet wound and the corresponding wound on Comanche! I'll let you know if I find anything. Regards, Sensei48 ( talk) 01:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

This is kind of trivial, but I'm curious to know how he pronounces his last name. FDR said it as "ROZE-uh-velt" or "ROZE-uh-vult", and I've read that TR pronounced it more like "ROOZ-velt". So I just wonder how TR's great-grandson says it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
According to the Roosevelt Cylopedia, in a letter written to Rev. William W. Moir on October 10, 1898.) Roosevelt indicated, "As for my name, it is pronounced as if it was spelled "Rosavelt." That is in three syllables. The first syllable as if it was "Rose." See http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/TR%20Web%20Book/TR_CD_to_HTML571.html SimonATL ( talk) 03:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
The speech was recorded on 4 disks. 2 of those disks are on Rhapsody.com at http://www.rhapsody.com/theodore-roosevelt One part is here: 2. http://www.rhapsody.com/player?type=track&id=tra.21355962&remote=false&page=&pageregion=&guid=&from=&hasrhapx=false&__pcode= contains the and let me know what you think. Both FDR and TR, according to a Roosevelt Family history friend of mine, Linda Milano spoke with a NY Knickerbocker accent that was common to NY's upper classes. You can really hear an trace of England there too. Here is pronounced HE-arh, for example. This audio IS the finest sample we have of TR giving a public speech as opposed to merely reading from a manuscript. You'll also detect traces of his famous falsetto. Notice how it rises when he says, "Republican Parteeeeeee." YOU can tell ME what how YOU think FDR and TR's voice compare. FDR had a deeper baratone resonance in later years.

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Hello there,
given the interest you expressed in strategy:Proposal:Expert review, I wanted to bring m:Expert review to your attention. At this point, it captures the current efforts in this area. There are some obvious ways in which you could help:
1) There's an existing proof-of-concept JavaScript displaying expert reviews for articles for which they are available. That script could be significantly improved, and potentially be promoted to gadget status.
2) We need to develop the product specifications for what expert review in Wikipedia should look like (starting with the simplest implementation that makes sense). The Meta page has some initial draft notes, but mock-ups, thoughts and additional documentation would be much appreciated.
3) We should think about what the most effective and scalable ways are to mobilize large groups of experts to participate in review processes, and to validate their credentials. There is an opportunity right now with the APS, which has just launched a Wikipedia initiative, and is willing to ask its 20,000 members to help with expert assessments. But we should think about the longer term as well.
Your participation in these and other areas would be much appreciated. Hope to see you on Meta,-- Eloquence * 01:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Leonard J Fick.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.
If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Your comment on User talk:El C is misplaced. El_C removed the childish vandalism; he didn't add it. User:L0gic is your vandal. TacoDeposit 02:47, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks - I had just figured that out even as you noticed - and corrected my mistaken post. El_C was the ANTI-vandal and I'm adding a nice page for LOgic.
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 28% for major edits and 33% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 141 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Your fair use claim doesn't fly. Fair use would only work if it were being used to illustrate an article about AP. This is a copyrighted image, and its use in Wikipedia to illustrate the James Webb article is a copyright violation. User:Zoe| (talk) 03:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Saw you user page and that you are a 22 year Marines Thought you might be interested in helping us with the new USMC portal if you have some time. Yut-- Looper5920 19:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't think the webmaster of Webb's website has the legal authority to release an AP photo. Only AP can do that. However, copyright authorizations require explicit permissions -- see Wikipedia:Copyright problems#Instructions for special cases. User:Zoe| (talk) 21:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were telling me. Well, see the link above for how to handle the permission. User:Zoe| (talk) 22:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
In the end, Webb's people released on of THEIR photos, not an AP photo. SimonATL 22:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I added a page on the 10th Marines, a unit in which I assigned for almost 4 years as a young lt and Forward observer (FO). The USMC Historical Center, a number of years back begain publishing regimental histories. Accordingly, I got a PDF file called "A Brief History of the 10th Marines." from this guy who sells them for pennies plus shipping. I'll begin revising the article ASAP. I was a history major and enjoy the work. Also, I've contributed stuff to the articles on Theodore Roosevelt and his large family and emailed his great-great grandson on some fact finding. SimonATL 23:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your contribution. I actually did find an audio link at NPR with the recording you mentioned, and I listened to it. I ultimately decided against including it because at the time I wasn't that sure about the authenticity and validity of his recollections generations after the fact. Also I think at the time I was editing I thought this recording focused much more on a "history lesson for the kids" type of story rather than very much in the way of details specific to Gettysburg on that day. Of course, I'm just another editor, not the final authority on this, and probably you are right to have added it. Best, Kaisershatner 15:18, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Simon, with all due respect, in reply to your comments on my talk page: "You apparently did not read my discussion of the background of this recording." Actually, I did. I think rather, it is you who have failed to read my comments above, where I say that "probably you are right to have added it," and where I explained that I wasn't confident about his recollections "generations after the fact" (ie, in 1938 when he made the recording), and where I wrote "this recording focused much more on a 'history lesson for the kids'" than about the reading of the Gettysburg Address. In any case, since I agree with your addition and admit it's just my POV about the other things, I'm not clear on why exactly your plan is "I'm going to take this up with the appeals process as this thing is authentic." What is it that you are appealing? Some free advice: you'll waste less time if you don't fight with someone who isn't arguing with you.
As for the rest of your lengthy comments, "The very fact that in his life, he did not try to sell or push this fact...actually supports its validity." I understand that is your opinion. "I'm convinced of its authenticity." Wonderful! "He became a well-respected religious writer, public lecturer and a director of the Christian Science church. (NO relation to wierdo Scientology, by the way and publisher of the Christian Science Monitor winner of 7 Pulitizer Prizes)." Thanks, I know the difference, although I'm usually a bit more respectful about other people's religious beliefs - and plenty I people I've spoken to think Christian Science is a bit wacky, FWIW. "What kind of "proof" do you need." I don't need any. As I mentioned twice above, I think you are probably right to have added it, and I certainly don't have a problem with the article asserting this is a recording of a guy who says he remembers being there. That's exactly what it is, and it's probably true that he was there and remembers it. I don't see a conflict here, but if you want to "argue" with me about it, then that's ok I guess - it's a free country and all. Best, Kaisershatner 16:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you've changed the images in the Vivien Leigh article. I appreciate that you have worked on the article to try to improve it. I have a couple of concerns. Firstly, the 1958 image of her is the only public domain image we have of her. As Wikipedia should at all times be promoting free use as much as possible, it should be the lead image. The copyright status is a greater consideration that the aesthetic. The first image of her in the barbecue dress was, a few months ago, the image in use. It was deleted because of concerns over copyright. I don't think that is now an issue because you've addressed the image description page, but its fair use status is less than the public domain status of the other, and therefore it's less suitable. I also feel that a fair use argument for two images from or relating to the same film, weakens the fair use case. The previous screenshot depicted her in character, "acting", and I think is a suitable image.
On a personal note, I am the author of this article, and although I fully realize that I do not "own" it, I do intend to keep an eye on it and ensure that it maintains its legitimacy. I'm slightly affronted that your edit summaries for the replacement of the images read "better image" chosen etc. This is a matter of opinion, and I don't think they are better images necessarily, just different, and the one of her and Gable is really the same image we've seen a thousand times. I feel frustrated that after spending several weeks writing the article, watching Gone with the Wind virtually frame by frame to find a suitable screenshot, and then nominating and seeing it through to Featured article status, the entire look of the article has been changed in the space of a few edits and a short amount of time. While the "be bold" principle is fine, I think discussing radical changes is at the very least good etiquette, especially for a featured article. - The community promoted the previous article, but might not have promoted the current version, as the use of images was discussed considerably during the process. I'm concerned the case for fair use is now weaker than it was. I'm going to revert them, and I hope and request that before making any further changes you could perhaps discuss it on the talk page.

what a kook she was! I guess we all got some comic relief--and I only hope my death photo looks as handsome as Lincoln's. :) Rjensen 04:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Rjensen...you disgraced wiki for attacking my character here as well as now illegaly removing my edit on your page for the blight you did against me on the Lincoln Talk page, and stirred up A HORNETS NEST, that would be having everyone against me for what in the end became a debate for even trying... to get the truth out as many scholars have in the past, and whom continue to debate that photograph you smeared as a hoax and a lie, to this day more and more....why?
You illegaly removed my departure note to you on your wiki user page in violation of wiki policy, If I cant do it, nor can you! and they have been informed.
I have had several views of an old photograph that would clear it up, but some others use my screen name cathitreks or cathy treks or cathytreks , they are NOT me yet why does everybody have it out for me here for trying to show the truth as I believe it to be!?
I only sought the acceptance of my proofs ..........and have miserably failed. I am leaving your cleec (sp)...now sadly for me, yet maybe happily for many here after the latest attacks and smears for me, for what I genuinely believe in., and now some comments about my credentials that do not dignify a reply,
Fine...im leaving the Lincoln page you decide upon, and the narrow mindedness forever, here in what seems to be a ROSE COLOURED Lincoln Candyland only!...But folks, let us never leave the man in our hearts!
A PERSONAL HERO TO MANY!
ABRAHAM LINCOLN!
I'm sadly leaving this place filled with much misunderstanding from many of the wiki "comunity" and withdraw from all of you, those who dont understand my sincere motives over a issue that seems hopeless to show or debate even amounst most of you, im sorry.,... I'm really very sorry, goodbye everybody..... I only sought truth.
I am heartsick over some of the attacks upon a sincere belief regardng the evidence I tried to present, my cousin in N.Z. did post under my name with my blessings as she believed too and tried to help show we were right, sorry you dont agree.
I really wonder what Lincoln would say over it all if he could?....
Somehow I believe he'd be sorry for we who sought the truth as some of the few here did, unlike the sheep who followed the wolves
shalom
....."a couple of misunderstood jewish girl's from both the old and new worlds bow from the stage here forever on this debate."
So...see ya round the galaxy guys!...oh..."kook , eh? Rjensen".....we shall see. ( Cathytreks 14:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC))
Hi, the toolserver [2] shows you have about 20 images missing source and license info. You might want to go fix them up before the untagged image elves get there, scrub them out of all articles, and delete. Most are probably PD, which should make it a pretty quick cleanup task. Thanks for helping! Stan 06:29, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the explanation! I think the article itself should explain the notability; it is less useful on my talk page. Now the bulk of the article is about other people and events before Joanna Sturm was even born; it is hard to spot why Joanna Sturm was notable herself. Weregerbil 09:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I saw your comment to Looper5920. I have an article request that seems right up your alley. I'm putting the finishing touches on Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (it will soon be promoted to featured article). On the FAC page for that article, it was mentioned that we don't have an article on artillery spotting. Would you be interested in writing one? Raul654 02:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Lots of rambling here, but you get my point. A quite interesting topic. Another consideration. To do this right would really require extensive graphics - you know, parabolic arches and stuff and maps of the spotter, the target, the battery and how all that comes together in the Fire Direction Center (FDC). By they way, looper, with your great math/tech/science background you would have been like #1 in your class at Fort Sill in the Basic Officer Course (BOC) and the Field Artillery Cource (FAC). Seriously, you would have wadded thru that stuff. They take the math brainiacs and put them RIGHT in that FDC where they call the shots and the Army LOVES the HELL out of good gunnery officers. You have NO idea how much and how FAR these guys can go. I was more music/art than math/science, so I had to "make" myself study the stuff, but I got good at it, actually and became an FDC inspector for a time, double-checking for their accuracy.
So, let's discuss the breadth and scope of this stuff. By they way, I couldn't help but notice that you're kind of at the top of the wiki food chain and probably inhabiting some secret temple on Wiki Mt. Olympus. Just how did this stuff evolve as far as it has? Its really quite sophisticated, IMHO (well, Marines have a hard time being humble) anyway, how do people become editors, admins and the like?
I've written a fair number of articles, including some totally new stuff and my background in ancient civilizations, Latin, some Greek, etc, has been helpful - dude - even Wiki articles in Latin! Anyway, as a medieval (sp) dude stuck in the 21st Century, Wiki is right up my alley, and unlike too damned many people, I can actually write a coherent English paragraph and some Spanish and French too boot.
Do you dudes have like Wiki conventions where you wear like the wiki version of Star Trek costumes and have Wiki groupies and hangers on? I mean what's the extent of this wiki culture? Call me some time. You can email me at SimonATL (at) yahoo.com cause I'd like to take about 20 minutes to get my hands around this whole wiki universe. I've been too busy editing in English, Spanish and Latin to notice much of the background wiring in the walls and cultural/political stuff like that.
Hey, you're the featured article guy. Then you'll notice how much I've expanded the Theodore Roosevelt article, subject matter wise, much more interesting photos. Others like that Lee guy did the footnoting. I also added the entire section on his trip up the River of Doubt in 1913. And know what, because of all that work, and my writing an article on the Theodore Roosevelt (TRA) organization and on TR's great-great grandson, Tweed Roosevelt, I came to the attention of the Roosevelt family and they invited me to become a member of their Strategic Advisory Board to look at how IT and the Web can help them. So, you see, sometimes their are unintended consequences. Anyway, I'll help, but I've burned up so much time, I'll have to allot my hours, dig? thanks SimonATL 05:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
You have been busy! :)
What a "world" it is with links that take you everwhere! Found some great pics of James Dunwoody Bulloch and added an article on his brother, Irvine Bulloch, uncles of TR.
Been looking at Spanish articles, French and even some Russian and Arabic - Sergius Witte Russian plenipotentiary during the negotiations over the Russo-Japanese War. Amazing how some corrupt Latin American dictator who died in Paris while undergoing Syphilis treatment (in English) is described as having died while visiting his mother (in Spanish) what a hoot!

You're welcome. I try to tone down the hagiography that some Wikipedians apply to Chamberlain. Although he was an admirable man, The Movie has elevated him to godlike status among some. And he himself did little to discourage that sort of thing. Hal Jespersen 00:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Made some tweaks correcting the source and expanding the section slightly on the impersonalist interpretation of Rev 12, but think it stays within NPOV, and other details needed touchup anyway. Had heard the Rathvon reminiscence, it's definitely an interesting listen. If you get the chance, you might clarify earlier on the MMC article that it was basically resubsumed into the Board of Ed. Chris Rodgers 06:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, made a few more tweeks. The archives at The Mary Baker Eddy Library was wonderful help to get clear on some dates. I had a chance to check out the reported letter that was sent to teachers. I went through old letters from my class. I couldn't find a copy. There wasn't any mention of agreement or disagreement with Knapps theology. Do you have a copy of the letter as a source? Wasn't sure which part was being referred to with reference to the former archivist's letters. Did he write the six pages? Was it sent to churches? Was it sent to the Board? That part was unclear. Simplywater 06:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Simon. Our old friend rjensen is up to his old tricks and has written an article called "Democrat Party" that dignifies this term. Wikipedia is considering deleting the Democrat Party (United States) article. I hope you will weigh in on the topic here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Democrat_Party_(United_States) I believe an article about this perjorative term doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Griot 00:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Simon, do you have a source for the letter you added as I was thinking of moving it to wikisource. Thanks AllanHainey 11:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes - I'm unaware of what wikisource is about and for which is why I posted the letter here, because I'd never seen the entire item in any Roosevelt bio. The original letter is up for sale on Ebay for $8,499,99 and the URL is: http://cgi.ebay.com/THEODORE-ROOSEVELT-Letter-of-Resignation-NYPD_W0QQitemZ320000215450QQihZ011QQcategoryZ33776QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem SimonATL 11:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello,
I noticed that you have done some work on the Theodore Roosevelt Article. This is more of a technical question than anything. I tried to add the Category: Deaths by cardiovascular disease, but when it entered edit mode the Category section wasn't there. Perhaps you have more experience with this type of thing than I. Can you help?

Thanks for uploading Image:Universal-smithSS1500.jpg. I notice 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:
{{

I have moved your contribution to Historicity of Jesus regarding Pilate to Talk:Pontius Pilate. The historicity article is already on the long side, and it seems rather off topic to discuss the historicity of someone who isn't Jesus. Maybe if there was an article New Testament and history or Historicity of the Gospels or something similar, this could fit. But I think including this info at the Pontius Pilate article is best for now. I hope you understand. Thanks.- Andrew c [talk] 02:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WMRathvonLYP5892.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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.

Normally we avoid speculation about the subject itself on an articles talk page, which is why I'm responding to it on your talk page. I would disagree that Grant was necessary for the end of the war to come about, and generally feel that the focus on military tactics is one of the reasons why people are surprised that the Union, which generally lacked clear tactical victories, won so resoundingly in the war. There were simply too many structural problems within the Confederacy to effect the outcome of the war; by 1863 Confederate supply lines, labor, and morale were in free fall. Desertion was rampant, lack of exchange for vital war supplies nonexistent, the collapse of slavery as slaves either ran for it, or joined the Army (which in turn led to the inability to grow food or the cotton necessary to maintain the war physically and financially). The greatest tactical battle plans in the world matter little if your soldiers ar ehungry, have no shoes, and have holes in their shirts. SiberioS ( talk) 03:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello SimonATL -
In response to your comments on my Talk page responding to my edits of the LBH article - please allow me to clarify.
I've done some of the writing, a lot of the re-writing, and quite a bit of the guarding of this article over the last 2 1/2 years - if you check the talk page (bottom half) you'll see some of the extensive discussions I've had with editors who tried to bend the article in one way or the other [mainly to either pro-Custer/anti-Reno|Benteen or vice versa, or to a non-historical glorification/demonization of one side or the other].
Now, I've always enjoyed your edits and have found them insightful and constructive. Correcting typos is just a minor thing - but I think you've misunderstood my edit summary slightly. My two edits to your content were first, putting a citation needed tag after your comment that students of the battle criticize Reno to this day for putting the Ree scouts on the left flank.
That was not the POV I alluded to. I'm sure that that statement can be substantiated from any of a number of good sources. I put the tag there because of the fact that this article was first de-listed as a good article and later a second time denied that status precisely because of a lack of citation for significant points, of which this would be one.
My POV language comment was intended for this part that I took out: - "his body was surrounded by senior officer and enlisted members of his command including his 1st Sergeant and others who chose not to flee, but to fight to the end with their much loved leader."
As the rest of your edits indicate, and as I have had to fight tooth and nail to preserve in the article, we have no accurate, certain way of knowing what happened to anyone who died in Custer's command. There is another editor and published analysis by experts that maintain that the whole Custer fight was a disastrous rout that was over in 20 minutes with no organized resistance - and there are Lakota accounts that say so. But Lakota accounts are terribly contradictory, and though we may speculate that Keogh was wounded and that his men on the ridge refused to abandon him - there are fifty other scenarios equally possible, including that they were completely surrounded and unable to flee. Your edit attributes an action that we cannot prove to a motive that we have know certain way of knowing.
I'm quite a Keogh fan myself and believe that this fascinating character did in fact keep his men in disciplined order to the last. But I can't prove that, and no one can, much less why his men stayed in apparently good order. Your edits remain completely viable without the one removed phrase.
Two final points. I have indeed walked all of these two battlefields completely twice, and I agree that no amount of reading about the battle informs a student of it as much as actually being there and seeing the perspectives that the combatants saw.
Second - just for readability, this paragraph needs to be broken up. It has become just one massive block of print and needs a little space at a couple of points. IMHO.
I look forward to further additions from you to the article. Sensei48 ( talk) 03:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Helo SimonATL -
I appreciate the enthusiasm and intelligence of your supported and referenced edits to LBH. There are, though, several significant problems with some aspects of them. I too busy right now at work to put the kind of time into working with the article that I like, but there are two that I can mention immediately.
a) the legend has disappeared from the animated map, due to re-sizing and losing the caption. The captions are absolutely necessary for the general reader's understanding of this excellent map. Who is A? C? C? D? These must be identified below the map or its usefulness is mitigated - and it is a clearer, easier to understand resource than the non-animated older map posted opposite it - note that the animated map depicts the railroad there now, properly orienting battlefield visitors.
The headings for each section - some of which do serve the purpose of breaking up the article, but others of which are superfluous - are uniformly much too long. Wiki guidelines require economy of words in these headings and sub-headings - three or four words at most and in no case complete sentences. Look, for example, at the infobox and headings for Sitting Bull. Three, four, or five words per heading are optimal. I'm going to change the section after "Prelude to Battle" (original title and better than what is there now) as an example. I'm sure that this can be done and equally sure that unless we change these the article will never be in line with the rest of Wikipedia and will never achieve good article WP:GA status.

Hello to you Simon, and best wishes for the New Year! It's been a pleasure working on LBH with you, and your extensive knowledge of the battle site continues to be a wonderful asset to the development of the article. Doktorschley is indeed a fine writer and a committed student of the battle; he and I sometimes disagree on just how much can be said objectively about GAC's many failings and how "balanced" the article needs to be. That reminds me - have we ever located a source that we could use to substantiate the likelihood of Keogh's men protecting him due to loyalty? I know his popularity with his men is out there - maybe in Jeffrey Wert's book, or Evan Connell's. You did a great job with the bullet wound and the corresponding wound on Comanche! I'll let you know if I find anything. Regards, Sensei48 ( talk) 01:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

This is kind of trivial, but I'm curious to know how he pronounces his last name. FDR said it as "ROZE-uh-velt" or "ROZE-uh-vult", and I've read that TR pronounced it more like "ROOZ-velt". So I just wonder how TR's great-grandson says it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
According to the Roosevelt Cylopedia, in a letter written to Rev. William W. Moir on October 10, 1898.) Roosevelt indicated, "As for my name, it is pronounced as if it was spelled "Rosavelt." That is in three syllables. The first syllable as if it was "Rose." See http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/TR%20Web%20Book/TR_CD_to_HTML571.html SimonATL ( talk) 03:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
The speech was recorded on 4 disks. 2 of those disks are on Rhapsody.com at http://www.rhapsody.com/theodore-roosevelt One part is here: 2. http://www.rhapsody.com/player?type=track&id=tra.21355962&remote=false&page=&pageregion=&guid=&from=&hasrhapx=false&__pcode= contains the and let me know what you think. Both FDR and TR, according to a Roosevelt Family history friend of mine, Linda Milano spoke with a NY Knickerbocker accent that was common to NY's upper classes. You can really hear an trace of England there too. Here is pronounced HE-arh, for example. This audio IS the finest sample we have of TR giving a public speech as opposed to merely reading from a manuscript. You'll also detect traces of his famous falsetto. Notice how it rises when he says, "Republican Parteeeeeee." YOU can tell ME what how YOU think FDR and TR's voice compare. FDR had a deeper baratone resonance in later years.

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Hello there,
given the interest you expressed in strategy:Proposal:Expert review, I wanted to bring m:Expert review to your attention. At this point, it captures the current efforts in this area. There are some obvious ways in which you could help:
1) There's an existing proof-of-concept JavaScript displaying expert reviews for articles for which they are available. That script could be significantly improved, and potentially be promoted to gadget status.
2) We need to develop the product specifications for what expert review in Wikipedia should look like (starting with the simplest implementation that makes sense). The Meta page has some initial draft notes, but mock-ups, thoughts and additional documentation would be much appreciated.
3) We should think about what the most effective and scalable ways are to mobilize large groups of experts to participate in review processes, and to validate their credentials. There is an opportunity right now with the APS, which has just launched a Wikipedia initiative, and is willing to ask its 20,000 members to help with expert assessments. But we should think about the longer term as well.
Your participation in these and other areas would be much appreciated. Hope to see you on Meta,-- Eloquence * 01:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Joe Wiegand requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Leonard J Fick.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.
If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hello. I have noticed that you
often edit without using an
edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in
your preferences. Thanks!

original research or
novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a
reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.
