User talk:Bearingbreaker92/Archive1

Welcome!

I noticed your contributions to list of backward messages, and thought I'd welcome you to Wikipedia. My name is Dan, a.k.a. TheJabberwock. Thank you for your contributions, and I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * The Manual of Style

Some other hints and tips:


 * Since you have created a username, you have the privilege of customizing your own user page, which is here. You can also tell us more about yourself at New user log.
 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically produce your username and the date.
 * If you are interested in music, you might want to check out Portal:Music.

If you have any questions, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

Re: Use of expletives
First, I suggest reading Profanity and Should Wikipedia Use Profanity. Then feel free to comment at the talk pages: Wikipedia talk:Profanity and m:Talk:Should Wikipedia Use Profanity.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  03:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Tutorial
I'd be happy to help out, but let's first make sure that the samples would be legal. I asked at Wikipedia_talk:Music_samples; hopefully I'll get a response.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  17:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think Deco is right; it would violate WP:OR to create backwards samples. Still, we can link to that page you found.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  17:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit counters
The edit counters I link to are broken, since the English Wikipedia somehow managed to mess up its data output, disabling many of the useful tools that relied on this output. However, you can get your own edit counter at User:Interiot/Tool2 - just follow the instructions there.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  17:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

And the reason it shows 10 edits for you is that it only goes up to June.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  17:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Cittydrop.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cittydrop.jpg. 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. 01:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Backmasking
I think uploading the samples would violate policy. However, you'll notice that List of backmasked messages now contains about 10-15 links to backmaskonline.com. While we can't take its clips, it's still a great resource; thanks for bringing it to our attention!  Λυδ α  cιτγ  01:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Fixing title
Yes, you can change the title of an article. There's a "Move" button at the top of the page. That'll do it. It'll leave a redirect at the old location, so first make sure nothing else is redirecting there (double-redirects don't work, point them to the new title), and then request deletion on the old page (unless it is a likely typo that would be good to keep redirecting) -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 03:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Renaming a page
In order to change an article name, you "move" it to the correct title. There's detailed instructions at Help:Moving_a_page. Since you already created the correctly spelled Animosity (disambiguation), I deleted the wrong one for you. Shell babelfish 03:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Ryanmccombs.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ryanmccombs.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image copyright problem with Image:Soilscars.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Soilscars.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 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. Hol e in the wall 11:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Songs
Hi Tim,

I like the individual song listings. Although some of them could use expansion, as a whole they're a nice resource, especially combined with Template:Sehnsucht. Maybe Tier (song) and Küss Mich (Fellfrosch) are better off deleted, but the other song articles have useful information.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  22:12, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

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 13:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Changed block config for 151.196.98.43
I redid the block so that now it should only block anonymous users. There are some busy vandals on that IP; I've never seen a non-AOL IP before with more than 10 blocks. Let me know if you're still having problems editing from your account. Cheers, OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Ram
Hi there; in terms of warships, the expression "battering ram" is totally wrong. A battering ram is a mediaeval instrument of siege warfare which, by repeated blows (battering) on a weak point on a fortification would cause a wall or gate to give way. The ram of a warship was designed to inflict a single, devastating blow to an enemy. The ram bows of warships, whether of the Victorian or of any other era, were never, ever called battering rams. I am reverting your changes. --Anthony.bradbury 20:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem; all friends here. HMS Hero, HMS Conqueror and Conqueror class battleships. The word ram does appear on the dab as a warship of the 1860's.--Anthony.bradbury 22:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. Just going to bed (UK time 11.35) but I will do a nice article on naval rams tomorrow. Recheck the dab page in 24 hours. :-)--Anthony.bradbury 22:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Have a look at Naval ram. Feel free to edit.--Anthony.bradbury 21:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you.--Anthony.bradbury 22:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Ryanmccombs.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ryanmccombs.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.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

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  ☠  03:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Confused
I am getting mixed information the chart performance of stacey q's albums on the billboard hot 200. Some websites say that the "better than heaven album" hit 101,102, or 59. The same thing goes for hard machine is etheir 115, 108 or 102. And for nights like this I cannot find any idea I cannot find any information. Could you help me?Angel,Isaac 10:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message and your offer to translate. I’ve replied on my talk page here —Ian Spackman 11:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the second translation, and sorry not to have been able to get back sooner. Again I have replied on my talk page. Cheers! Ian Spackman 19:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Image Request
I uploaded the image at Wikimedia Commons (commons:Image:Babolat pure drive plus.jpg). The background is white now, but I don't have a clue how to make it look more professional. utcursch | talk 12:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Tennis banner
It does look better, but it still has the biggest problem I could find:specifically, the amount of vertical space it takes up. If you could find a way to make the picutre smaller, I think that'd probably be the best thing that could be done. Badbilltucker 22:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Bot
I believe I talked to you on IRC last night. Do you think you could do a task with your bot for me? Bearingbreaker92 04:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure, but only if it is non-contoversial, otherwise I will have to seek approval first. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 04:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Simply making a bunch of talk pages and putting a template on them. That wouldnt be too controversial would it? Bearingbreaker92 04:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, that'd be fine, what I need is a list of pages (or a category, or a template that can be found on all the pages) and the template to go on them. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 04:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Archiving mistake
Hi. I noticed you had created a page in archiving and then blanked it. It appeared you made the page by mistake and then realized it and just blanked it. The proper procedure would have been to just add db-author to the page instead. Then it would have been deleted. Blanking doesn't really do anything. I've put db-blanked on it this time though. It's not a big deal, just thought I'd let you know. -- MECU ≈ talk 19:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
