Thanks for uploading Image:Needleconan.JPG. 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 ( talk) 19:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Wlmg. This link... [1]...in the Greenlee Smythe article isn't a vandalism reference. It's a book that documents Greenlee's role as a villainess, not just homosexuality on All My Children. Thus I've returned that reference. Flyer22 ( talk) 18:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Needleconan.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 15:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Wlmg:
I noticed your revert on the article Yosef Ben-Jochannan where you changed 'formally educated' back to 'claims to have been educated'.
I'm posting here because I'm interested to learn more about this unusual article.
I'm curious how large a credibility gap Yosef Ben-Jochannan has developed to have the article say 'claims to have been educated' and 'claims to be the son of'.
It seems to me there is sort of a double requirement for sources in order to say someone "claims to be ABC". A source to verify that the person has made the claim and also a source that casts serious doubt on the claim. If someone claims to be ABC and there is nothing that throws doubt on that claim, the normal wording would be (I think) that "they are ABC", not that "they claim to be ABC". (Ie, assuming good faith unless there is contradicting evidence.)
The reference says he misrepresents himself as an Egyptologist. Nothing about his ethnic heritage.
As I say, I'm curious about this.
Any light you can throw on the matter would be appreciated.
Cheers CBHA ( talk) 05:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I see that the picture from the ABC site has Rebecca Budig's name in large type, and Greenlee Smythe is in a much smaller font. Imho it does not illustrate the character Greenlee per se. There are other pics from the source that have Greenlee working at Fusion. That would be an unequivocal picture of Greenlee the same as a screen shot is. Fair use wikipedia pics are supposed to be low-res, so a high-res pic of Budig or Greenlee is a violation of wikipedia policy. Wlmg ( talk) 03:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Supercouple articles on Wikipedia must be of couples that have actually been deemed supercouples by most fans and the media, which is attributed to valid references proving such; these articles must show that these couples are notable.
For soap opera, for example, they must show that the couple has had a significant impact on the soap opera medium, as well as outside of it. Any soap opera couple or supercouple article that does not show that will be deleted from Wikipedia sooner or later. Likewise, the List of fictional supercouples article can only contain couples who are proven to be supercouples by valid references (the sources you see in that article). This is why I have reverted or tweaked your edits relating to the topic of supercouple. Flyer22 ( talk) 21:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

Hi. "Trivia" is a nono word on wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia. You'll find various tags for trivia adhering to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trivia sections). As his article is a GOOD article it should certainly not have a trivia section. Some of the information is borderline trivia but may be useful to the reader so may be termed "other". So we name the section "other" or "miscellaneous". I hope you understand better now.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wiki-Conference NYC 2010, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia Ambassador Program and Wikipedia Academy, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the May meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our
mailing list.

Hi. "Trivia" is a nono word on wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia. You'll find various tags for trivia adhering to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trivia sections). As his article is a GOOD article it should certainly not have a trivia section. Some of the information is borderline trivia but may be useful to the reader so may be termed "other". So we name the section "other" or "miscellaneous". I hope you understand better now.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wlmg, thank you for helping to tidy up the new entry I created. GorgeCustersSabre ( talk) 18:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.
