Election of 1868
Kentucky had 11 electoral votes. Give Kentucky 11 electoral votes and then add up all of Seymour's other electoral votes. The old map had it wrong so I can see why the map is in error. Also, go to electionatlas.org to see the electoral votes.--Tilden76 (talk) 18:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The Journeyman Project / Red Faction Tie-in
It's been commonly accepted that the Red Faction & Mining Colony on Mars are related to the Mimoto Mars Colony (as in the Journey Man Project game itself, it describes the years of oppression and mining that occured long before the colony was finished). The development team for the "Red Faction" series has been rumored to use this as a "spiritual" influence for the storyline behind "Red Faction", though have never officially denied or approved claims, though fi you look at dates, times, and incidents in both games, they fall well into place. I've added a Legacy section to the journeyman page, and added that notation there that you removed from the header... i agree, it was a bad place to put it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.36.65 (talk) 21:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Sources for VonBraun (Alien Planet)
Hello, good work on VonBraun (Alien Planet), and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to VonBraun (Alien Planet)? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! BRIAN 0918  02:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Ike.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ike.jpg. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 20:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Mars96Arrival.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Mars96Arrival.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 22:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandal tags
Thank you for reverting vandalism on Wikipedia! Be sure to put warning tags on the vandal's user talk page (such as,  ,  ,  ). Add each of these tags on the vandal's talk page, in sequential order, after each instance of vandalism. Adding warnings to the talk page assists administrators in determining whether or not the user should be blocked. If the user continues to vandalize pages after you add the  tag, request administrator assistance at Request for Intervention. Again, thank you for helping to make Wikipedia better.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kyle 1009.PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kyle 1009.PNG. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

hey thanks
thank you for "reverting vandalism" in a section of the article on American Idol on August 28, 2006, at 18:48 that wasn't vandalism, it was actually my own reversion of vandalism that I had discovered and I decided to correct, but I didn't know what to write, so I simply put "Insert real information here." I know that sentence went on and on and on, but you must understand how deeply I was insulted when I saw "reverting vandalism" appear after my own edit. A heartfelt apology would be appreciated. now. 207.255.66.200 04:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Mystery Science Theater 3000
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Andy120290! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule proboards\d{1,3}\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy.

Unspecified source for Image:LUNAR_A.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LUNAR_A.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 21:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Satellite_of_Love_KTMA.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Satellite_of_Love_KTMA.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  02:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Mars96Orbiter.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Mars96Orbiter.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD i4.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Russavia 16:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Rollback?
Hello. Recently I noticed your anti-vandal work on the John Young (astronaut) article. The easiest way to clean up vandalism and spam is via the rollback tool. If you are willing to abide by the rollbacker rules (see WP:ROLLBACK), I would be more than happy to grant you access to this function. If, after reading WP:ROLLBACK, you promise to follow the rollback rules to the best of your ability, just drop a quick message on my talk page saying as much and I will update your rights. Thanks again for your help in keeping Wikipedia clear of vandalism! — Kralizec! (talk) 04:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Regarding revision 327946609
On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Future_Part_II you removed the whole "major flaw" section. If you have a problem with the way it was written then by all means change it. But to remove the entire section labeling it "unencyclopedic" is ridiculous. It's a perfectly valid section on a flaw in the plot of the film. Atmourad (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

President of the United States article
In your user page, you wrote you're "addicted to presidents", that you're an America-o-phile; that you're a WW2 buff (many Americans are -- national pride -- ever wonder why there are few Vietnam War buffs? We lost that one, but perhaps we'd not like to think about it). If you have these views, you'll want articles about the US presidency (and Congress) to be fair and neutral and not to try to cover up the flaws or downplay America's failings. If we sugarcoat our country, gloss over serious errors, then how will these ever get fixed? It's important; a malfunctioning presidency or Congress can hurt you directly if you're an American (like I am) and if you consider yourself a citizen like I do. If our nation trots off to wars which were ill-planned or ill-suited or wasteful, or has a Congress beholden to special interests which has rigged the rules of re-election, the persons who get hurt are us -- ordinary Americans -- since we're the ones taxed to pay for these wars, or sometimes the soldiers in these wars, who have trouble finding good jobs because whole industries are outsourced to foreign lands because of crazy things like an absurd tax structure.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Consider your life. Are you happy with your life? Is everything hunky-dorey? Got enough money? Got a good job? Got a girl? Most likely, if you're like most Americans, you want more, and part of the reason I'll bet is because of serious political flaws which mess up your life, and perhaps you just haven't realized it yet? That is, have you considered the truth-value of statements such as the following: Federal government screws Andy or US presidents screw Andy or Congress screws Andy or (check out the IRS's complex tax code -- 70K pages). And, what opinion do you have about these statements? I'm wondering what you think.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't believe you really seek neutrality in articles like you claim. The articles are fairly well balanced now (7/8 positive/neutral, 1/8 criticism perhaps, which seems fair perhaps to most readers.) I think you identify with presidents somehow, that is, you feel the criticism which is directed at presidents is directed at you-as-an-American (it isn't). The president is the nation's top celebrity, and as Americans, we worship celebrities, movie stars, powerful people, and want to have pictures of their fancy cars in tabloids (or in Wikipedia) while trying not to acknowledge to ourselves that we pay for those fancy presidential limousines. And perhaps you'd like the "criticism" sections removed since you think, on some level, that these sections hurt America's image (they don't -- being strong enough to admit flaws is what makes America great, in my view, so being able to criticize ourselves shows we're truly a great country and have the candor and integrity to highlight flaws. Further, how will flaws ever get FIXED if they're covered up or buried in articles or glossed over? This stuff is important. I've made a solid case in the "talk" section about why the recentism tag is bogus (look at Obama's picture at the top of the article, the most recent president) but I've let it stay there in deference to you; I made a number of changes so the criticism section is balanced (so it meets the ten-year-rule) which you haven't acknowledged. And you have not addressed my comments on the talk pages. Please do so, with reasoned arguments, if you can.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

The current article format now, with criticism at the bottom, makes it easier for users to find what they want, whether it's the gloss and the limousines and smiling presidents (most of the article) or the criticism at the bottom. If you want to move specific criticisms throughout the article, that's a LOT of editing. I advise against it, but if you want to move stuff around, I'll watch you closely to make sure nothing gets omitted. And please consider removing the tags; I'm considering adding tags of my own all over the article to highlight what I think are serious POV concerns, presidential-worship, lack of balance, etc etc etc.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mars96Orbiter.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mars96Orbiter.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. 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.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Daggerstab (talk) 15:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

ISS FAC4.
Hello there! As an editor who has posted a comment in one of the recent Peer Reviews, GANs or FACs of International Space Station, or who has contributed to the article recently, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind commenting in the current Featured Article Candidacy with any suggestions you have for article improvements (and being bold and making those changes), whether or not you feel any issues you have previously raised have been dealt with, and, ultimately, if you believe the article meets the Featured Article guidelines. This is the fourth FAC for this article, and it'd be great to have it pass. Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 16:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

The article Foreign policy of the United States was almost entirely negative against the U.S.; so to make it more WP:NPOV I've been adding positive things the U.S. has done in the foreign policy sector (won WW2, Panama Canal, rescued Europeans from Hitler, etc etc). I branched off an article Criticism of U.S. foreign policy which, as an article, is about 50/50 positive and negative. And I'm continuing to revamp both articles. But I'm wondering what anti-US editors out there will do to these changes. Wondering if you might put one or both articles on your watch list and keep track of changes? I'm still working on the main "Foreign policy of the US" article, trying to make it more neutral, and keep it trimmed down, perhaps will branch off a history of US foreign policy article.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Wilson Ph.D.
This paragraph now appears twice in the Woodrow Wilson entry:


 * Wilson is the only President to hold a Ph.D. and the only President to serve in a political office in New Jersey before election to the Presidency. He was only the second Democrat in the White House since the Civil War, and he had to handle party demands from both the agrarian wing (led by Bryan) and the pro-business wing and resolve outstanding policy issues regarding the economy. The country was prosperous in 1913, and the Democrats had large majorities in Congress, setting up his opportunities to act.

It's at the end of "Election of 1912" and then at the beginning of "First term as President, 1913–1917." I'd say the second spot is better so that the section about the election is *only* about the election. And to me this passage reads more like an introduction to Wilson's problems as President than as anything pertinent to the election of 1912, except for the fact that he's the only P.D., but I'm not at all sure where that tidbit belongs. But certainly once is enough. Cheers. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 14:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

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 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. Courcelles (talk) 04:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit War Warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on United States Congress. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Bbb23 (talk) 13:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I see you're doing lots of undos and reverts on highly-visible articles within the past two days. There is a complaint about your edits already filed at WP:AN3.

You've been indefinitely blocked, on the assumption that someone else has taken control of your account.

Andy are you okay?
I've tried to fix up United States Congress by proposing an expanded version in the sandbox here United States Congress/sandbox and it merges the criticisms within the article and adds a lot of positive things about the US Congress too -- like its resilient, the heart and soul of democracy. The article needs more pictures. Wondering what you think and whether you like it better than the old one. Generally I'm coming around to agreeing with everybody that a separate criticism section isn't such a great idea. I hope you don't get too turned off by Wikipedia since you've been a good contributor. If you want to write stuff without other people deleting it, check out Google knols. You control the content (but there's much less readership of course). In a place like Wikipedia, everybody can undo everybody else and it can get quite contentious; I hope you're okay. There were times before when I get into contentious situations and it can be quite frustrating, but I hope you still continue to contribute here. :) --Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Andy, I am sorry you have chosen to leave Wikipedia, but I hope you might reconsider your decision. You're a good man and you've contributed excellently here. And while I'm not that crazy about your recent rub-out method with the Congress article, you did call attention to the article's deficiencies, and you did spur me and others to try to make it better, and I hope the outcome will be something more to your liking. I hope that you will reconsider and help us improve the Congress and other articles since your perspective is important and valuable.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:49, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Chester A Bum.PNG
 Thanks for uploading File:Chester A Bum.PNG. 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).

Non-free rationale for File:Wotw1p65.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wotw1p65.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.
