How exactly do you sort what is prose and whatnot? I understand that categories&templates and stuff should be left out, but how about quotations and image captions.

Greetings WW2censor.
I am the fellow who as you know included a lot of images to the above named page. Since its inception I have been a fond reader of Wiki and a short while back have taken to uploading various images I have taken, and editing.
First my apologies for wrongly including many stamps images to the above named page. As the name of the page above read 'US Postage Stamps..' first, and since the bulk of the text was already covering US postage stamps I was under the impression I was helping the page grow by adding images of related postage stamps. I know it's not appropriate to include a lot of pics in most of the pages, but since 'stamps' were involved and because of their variety, I wrongly assumed more images would be a welcomed addition in this particular page. Since the page had a historical theme, I was attempting also to show how history itself involves postage issues, post offices and the like. I attempted to do this by introducing topographical and other sub sections. ie.History, Ships, Civil War, etc.
Recently user 'Ashlin' said he was pleased with the effort but cautioned me that the page was also about Postal history. He also stated that the Postal History theme of the page, even though mentioned secondly in the page title, still "trumps" the subject of postage stamps. I have no problem with that at all if that was the original intention when the page was created, however when I first arrived to this page there was very little written about postal history. The bulk of the page already went at length about Postage stamps. In fact I am the one who introduced the section on Post offices and their historical significance. Before that there was only one other section pertaining to 'postal history' and it was and is only a paragraph long.
Since then it has been suggested by Ashlin and yourself to split the page into two subjects. ie.'Postage Stamps' and 'Postal History'(+ -). It seems However if we do that there will be little left in the postal history section, while the bulk of the format would lie in the other new page. Even after I have removed five of the topographical sections, the page still covers stamp history primarily...(very) little written about postal history. As this page was already a two subject page before my arrival I am wondering if it is incumbent on the party who so named and arranged this page in the first place to have the pleasure of such a task. As I am new to Wiki' editing perhaps it would be more appropriate, and practical, if a senior editor, or someone, split the present page into two.
I am trying to establish another page, or perhaps a subsection to the proposed new page, that features stamps in other ways other than chronologically and definitively. I am especially interested in a section where American History is featured and commemorated on US Stamps and Covers. Where appropriate and unobtrusive I would like to link up various history pages with the appropriate sections and images. -- In my user space I am presently drafting such a page (or section) and hope to eventually offer it as a common reference for the history and related pages. I will be mindful of the number of images but in some sections I hope to include more than the average section. I am hoping you will drop in and provide some input.

Hello,
I have received confirmation from the HR of Anicom in Japan and they have given me permission to use it for Wikipedia. I am not sure how to confirm a license or to keep the pictures from being deleted. If Wikipedia needs an email address to the HR person, or the confirmation email which I have received, please let me know, and I will be happy to supply the details.
Thanks, GsusMaiKing
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Samantha Smith.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 '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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hammersoft ( talk) 13:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I get a message from you that my file SYS_logo.png was deleted because of a missing copyright information.

I WILL NOT UPLOAD THE FOTO AGAIN.
Many people become wiki tired. What most urgantly would have to be removed, are self-denominated 'administrators' which lost all funcionality. Thats the same system like we had on the comunism.
As you can see from Linux distros, even for gratis things has a strong concurrence. wiki have to make efforts for survive in future, inclusive remove non-funcional people.
I let the article just without this picture. Its problem of wikis quality, not of me. If you want, you recover the picture youself
And in my own sites, I add this example to the reasons why wiki isn't trustworthy, playground for trolls and a self-denominated aristocracy

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 15:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ww2,
Just dropping a line to wonder if you would be interested in participating in setting up a Wikimedia chapter in Ireland. It took a year (almost to the day) but ten editors have expressed an interest, which meets the criteria for a "critical mass". How would you feel about it? Know of anyone who might be interested?

A friend shot video of the logo down in Algoma when he did a range test for his electric bike. He zoomed in on it for the exact reason of providing a logo (since the logo is next to nil anywhere online).

I had also taken a lot of time to draw a map of the area and add the route of the railroad (it took me almost 2 weeks to draw it accurately).

I am trying to establish another page, or perhaps a subsection to the proposed new page, that features stamps in other ways other than chronologically and definitively. I am especially interested in a section where American History is featured and commemorated on US Stamps and Covers. Where appropriate and unobtrusive I would like to link up various history pages with the appropriate sections and images. -- In my user space I am presently drafting such a page (or section) and hope to eventually offer it as a common reference for the history and related pages. I will be mindful of the number of images but in some sections I hope to include more than the average section. I am hoping you will drop in and provide some input.

Hello,
I have received confirmation from the HR of Anicom in Japan and they have given me permission to use it for Wikipedia. I am not sure how to confirm a license or to keep the pictures from being deleted. If Wikipedia needs an email address to the HR person, or the confirmation email which I have received, please let me know, and I will be happy to supply the details.
Thanks, GsusMaiKing
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Samantha Smith.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 '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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hammersoft ( talk) 13:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
hello
I get a message from you that my file SYS_logo.png was deleted because of a missing copyright information.
Meanwhile I repeated the upload of the file 2 times, added that this is a foto by myself, and thet I put it under public domain.
I WILL NOT UPLOAD THE FOTO AGAIN.
Many people become wiki tired. What most urgantly would have to be removed, are self-denominated 'administrators' which lost all funcionality. Thats the same system like we had on the comunism.
As you can see from Linux distros, even for gratis things has a strong concurrence. wiki have to make efforts for survive in future, inclusive remove non-funcional people.
I let the article just without this picture. Its problem of wikis quality, not of me. If you want, you recover the picture youself
And in my own sites, I add this example to the reasons why wiki isn't trustworthy, playground for trolls and a self-denominated aristocracy

hi!
You recently contacted me concerning copyright issues with regard to my work:

The work is copyright free, i.e. I (and my co-authors) own the copyright, and am/are free to use it in whatever way we may want. The paper is also downloadable from my own homepage:

However, I have tried to figure out your "copyright tags" without understanding the first letter as to how to "tag" it.
So, how do I do what you want me to do?
Yours,

Dear Ww2censor,
hi again. I have tidied up the licencing things and the article a bit. Do you think it could be OK now? Scott's Stamp of the month should be enough shouldn't it or am I still missing something! Also I was looking again at your helpful page with good examples and it seems to me this stamp might be being used in a similar way to Eileen Mayo's Platypus one (and whilst looking there - is the Platypus stamp now PD anyway?)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 15:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Anne Curtis Dyosa.jpg. 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).

Hi Ww2,
Just dropping a line to wonder if you would be interested in participating in setting up a Wikimedia chapter in Ireland. It took a year (almost to the day) but ten editors have expressed an interest, which meets the criteria for a "critical mass". How would you feel about it? Know of anyone who might be interested? (I gathered from before that you're not based on the old sod but you might be interested regardless.)
By the way, you might also be interested in joining the Wikimedia Ireland mailing list, if you are not already on it. --RA ( talk) 20:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Where is it from?
A friend shot video of the logo down in Algoma when he did a range test for his electric bike. He zoomed in on it for the exact reason of providing a logo (since the logo is next to nil anywhere online).
WITH HIS PERMISSION, I enhanced it, scaled it down to a smaller size, and posted it here.
I had also taken a lot of time to draw a map of the area and add the route of the railroad (it took me almost 2 weeks to draw it accurately).
