S'mores Image
You added this image with the tag. I looked through the site a bit, but I didn't see anything about copyright. Can you point out the copyright information on the site? - JPM | 02:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, it has to explicitly say that it can be used for any purpose on the site in order to use that image tag. It's a nice pic, and I'd like to see it stay (got me a bit hungry, too). You might want to use this tag instead. But first check out some of the other images that are already using that tag to get an idea of some fair use rationale that could be used. - JPM | 07:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you placed a wikiproject boilerplate on The Blob article. Just so you know, these templates should only be placed on the article's talk page as per the guidelines at WikiProject. Cheers -Localzuk (talk) 11:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Copyright Problem with Raspberry Baked Alaska
Thanks for uploading Image:Raspberry-baked-alaska.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

LaRouche
LaRouche is absolutely crazy. He's been running for president since 1980 and taken almost every position under the sun. He clearly does have strong rhetorical skills, and some of his early work most likely is a demonstration of this. Unfortunately, he's used his exceptional powers of persuasion to lure his supporters into virtually worshiping him. LaRouche's movement is known to scour college campuses for ill adjusted students who they proceed to systematically brainwash and remove them from society. Past members describe how they were sucked into strings of lies. Ultimately they are pressured to drop out of college and cut all contacts with all friends and families and live collectively with other activists. All this sounds wacko, but it’s the truth and LaRouche should be considered to be very dangerous. The only reason that he continues to have any voice is that he consistently convinces his small community of supporters to donate vast sums of money to his presidential campaigns. In 2004 he successfully raised millions of dollars by convincing almost everyone that donated to him to give over 1000 dollars. These funds are then largely used in the printing and distribution of his propaganda materials.

While he is definitely crazy, his past theses on the powers of persuasion and on psychological topics should not be discredited wholesale alongside his political stances. He clearly has demonstrated that he knows what he's talking about when it comes to convincing people to believe you. And as for his economic theory, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it should be treated as highly suspect as well.

On LaRouche
As far as someone 'telling you' whether LaRouche is bonkers or not, that's up to you to find out what the truth is. My job is to present you with what I know to be true in hopes that you can form a more developed hypothesis.

I do a lot of lobbying in Washington, DC for an organization associated with the Catholic Church. I've been reading his magazine, Executive Intelligence Review, for years now, had exchanges with his associates, and have even attended a few of his webcasts. You could probably consider me to be what Washingtonians call a 'Closet LaRouchie'.

Anyway, as far as I know, LaRouche is the most accurate economist in history when it comes to forecasting. Look into the man's record as far back as the 1950s. His forecasts have been right every time. According to some of my contacts on Capitol Hill, LaRouche is taken with varying degrees of seriousness by members of Congress. Some do indeed view him to be a complete nutjob, but I've also heard some Congressional staffers use the term, 'genius' repeatedly. A few members of Congress from both the House and the Senate have met with LaRouche himself plenty of times.

My humble view? I honestly think that the guy is legit. History is full of examples of men and women who are persecuted by popular opinion because they decided to get up and tell the truth.

As far as the conspiracy theory stuff, I don't know of the work you're referencing, but I'll check it out. He does have a tendency to make references in his writings to a lot of subjects that his audience is probably not very well educated on. However, I can say that I think it's extremely naive for someone to think that conspiracies don't exist. Most events in history are organized through a conspiracy, for better (i.e. the American Revolution) or worse. (i.e. the assassinations of JFK, RFK, Dr. King, etc.  A group of like-minded individuals want to create a certain result for the future of a society.  Conspiracies happen all the time, so that really never bothered me much about LaRouche.

But anyway, I'd just suggest you keep doing your homework on the guy and try and figure it out. Hope I've been helpful.

Image:The Decemberists.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Decemberists.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. -- Chowbok 02:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

September 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Pythagoras, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gscshoyru 18:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
