Sorry, friend, but for someone who's broken every rule of fair editing, you are not in a place to be warning me about Wiki rules. And do not deface my user page. Please use the Talk page in the future, as I did. Nhprman 23:39, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Islam and fascism
Hi. Could I ask you to consider moving your recent edits to the Islam section of Neofascism and religion? At least until the (seemingly endless) battle over the Islamofascism (term) name and content settle down? They are interesting additions, but after a huge discussion, the content on the two pages was divided up.--Cberlet 19:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, again. Look, I agree that some forms of militant Islam are forms of theocratic fascism, but the battles over these pages makes compromise necessary. Others feel just as strongly that there is no connection, and that the term itself is biased. I just don't understand why you seem to think that if someone disagrees with you, it is somehow a form of censorship or stupidity. Here at Wikipedia, we build consensus. You need to let go of the idea that you are right, and therefore everyone who disagrees should have their concerns and text brushed aside. I have spent months trying to help prevent these pages from being endless revert wars.--Cberlet 04:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Implicit in your argument is that the title and/or lead should include the words Islam and fascism, which is precisely what a large number of people object to. The lead/title is vague as part of the compromise!--Cberlet 04:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Geez! It is not just you and me. There are dozens of editors who have battled over the name of the page, the existence of the page, etc. for many months. Have you gone back and read the archive of these battles? We just went through weeks of a vote for deletion and a vote for a name change. --Cberlet 04:23, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for being so prickly, I have been, (and am currently) under attack on several pages. Apologies for making false assumptions. :-) --Cberlet 14:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

WIkiquette Alert
Hello, I was looking into your Wikiquette Alert about the activities of DJack75. I could not find the edits you were referring to that contained excessive text and obscenity. I'm also not sure what you mean by excessive text, since this is not inherently a bad thing. Could you point the diffs out specifically? --Cymsdal e 10:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your interest. The excessive text was apparently moved to Wikiquotes (sp?). The obscsnity was in the subject line in the history in which DJac75 said "Eat S***..." I'm not sure if there's a procedure for dealing with abusive language.  I'm pretty new to Wikipedia. Adam Holland 15:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I noticed you put a civility warning onto that users homepage. I think that is the best first step and if the user ceases their use of abusive language than it is best to let things be as they are. Happy editing in the future! --Cymsdal e  22:32, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Please continue to check up on the Joe Sobran page. DickClarkMises and DJac75 have been up to their usual bs. Thanks. -Roger

Image Tagging Image:Jimmyspruill.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jimmyspruill.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Please Use Edit Summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Flag of the PPF.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Flag of the PPF.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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Nivus  (talk) 10:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Aren't flags uncopyrightable?
You had not mentioned that the flag(s) were a French fascist party of the 1930s and 40s. If you had I would have myself tagged your image with an appropriate template. This is the reason I had tagged them with no copyright. You can upload them again and paste an appropriate template from the General public domain images templates. If you need help in future to tag your images, I will be glad to help. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks!! -- Nivus  (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

People category
I'd like to create a new category to link various right-wing people to each other. I'm not sure if "Right-wing people" would be an appropriate name or not. What are your thoughts? Wjhonson 21:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Ron Paul on Darfur
Hi, I'm the one who shortened your paragraph on Paul's Darfur stance the first time. I'm sorry if the result was a bit misleading, but my intention was to shorten what is already an overly-long section. I don't see the need to devote an entire paragraph to Paul's stance on Darfur (or Taiwan or North Korea or Iran for that matter). These are specifics best kept to the Political positions of Ron Paul page. I think the Paul article should just mention Paul's stance on Iraq and Afghanistan and lump everything else under his "non-interventionist" stance. Yes, this overlooks some of the nuances of his positions, but we simply can't discuss all of them in that section.--Daveswagon 19:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * If you want to remove the Taiwan reference, you're more than welcome to. Also, just because Paul's stance on Darfur is offensive to you does not make it notable. As I said, please add this to Political positions of Ron Paul. I am not trying to hide anything.--Daveswagon 20:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Instead of deleting your entire Darfur paragraph, I thought at the time it was more of a compromise to lump Paul's opposition of action in Darfur in with Taiwan. In light of what I'm saying now, I shouldn't have done that.--Daveswagon 21:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No doubt Paul opposes all foreign aid. Why should we single out this case?--Daveswagon 22:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll clarify my question: Why can't we simply say "Paul opposes foreign intervention and aid" instead of saying "Paul opposes foreign intervention and aid in Sudan, China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Russia, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Israel, etc..."


 * And since you claim this is solely a humanitarian aid issue, how do you envision this aid be distributed in Sudan without a military presence?--Daveswagon 22:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Carrel-ppf.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Carrel-ppf.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Speedy deletion of Image:Jimmyspruill.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Jimmyspruill.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ViperSnake151 20:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Kesha Rogers and Robben's Dumble
The statement about LaRouche and FDR that you removed from Kesha Rogers was added to that article by User: Robben's Dumble, who appears to be a single-purpose account dedicated to editing that article. There are several other accounts and IP addresses whose only contributions are Rogers-related, and I have some indication to believe that they may be sockpuppets of each other. The sockpuppet investigation page is here: Sockpuppet investigations/Douglass Tubman; feel free to contribute to the discussion if you wish. Just thought I'd let you know,

-Stonemason89 (talk) 21:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)


 * FYI, Robben's Dumble just re-added the statement you removed from Kesha Rogers, saying that it was in the Houston Chronicle article about Rogers. Stonemason89 (talk) 01:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The sentence I deleted was inaccurate in that the article only mentions one of the people to whom the opinions detailed were attributed. Moreover, I don't see why that person's opinion of the candidate being like Roosevelt merits being in an encyclopedia. Adam Holland (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I see; perhaps you should work this issue out with Robben's Dumble on his/her talk page? Stonemason89 (talk) 15:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I no longer do that. I've found those discussions to generally be pointless. My objection is on the record. If wikepedia editors wish to pursue it, fine.Adam Holland (talk) 20:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
