Activeworlds Userbox
Why not, instead of putting a picture of the GRS, why not a picture of the Activeworlds Gate? It is the default entry point and would make more sense. --GSK (talk) 02:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

It was the only picture I had on hand at the time, due to the "non free" image being removed. I have a bit more research to do. CompuHacker (talk) 14:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Stop!
Stop editing other messages as you are doing here, here, here and here. This is a violation of policy. Thanks,   CWii ( Talk  14:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would think that:
 * The messages are on my own talk page,
 * The messages edited were created by bots,
 * The titles sum up each message.
 * CompuHacker (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Even so, you shouldn't edit others' messages. If it's a violation of Wikipedia policy, it's a violation, no matter which way you look at it. --GSK (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia guidelines concerning this discussion are as follows
 * "On your own user talk page, you may remove others' comments, although archiving is generally preferred."
 * As a matter of semantics, I removed the comments and not the signatures. Also stated in an above section is
 * "As a rule, do not edit others' comments, including signatures. Exceptions are described in the next section."
 * I believe that ignoring this rule in this instance is improving Wikipedia. I still maintain that the titles adequately explain what was "discussed" (I never responded) in each section. That is all I have to say right now, enjoy your afternoon.

CompuHacker (talk) 16:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What you are doing is editing comments, though. Just...stop. And to think you wanted administration on Wikipedia. This stuff is only hurting your chances more and more of it ever happening in the future. --GSK (talk) 16:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Really stop. You're not improving it at all. You're making it harder by making users have to look through your history for the messages. And no, not all the messages were from bots.   CWii ( Talk  12:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * All the messages that were edited are best summed up by their title. Having simply the title should be enough information for any casual reader, and if you really want to read a computer generated readout about something that happened half a year ago, then you can fall back on the history of this page. Three of the four messages were made by bots, something I overlooked before. However, the titles fully convey the message in a single sentence normally conveyed by that and a paragraph AND the title of each section is linked to a long and tedious paragraph that I am sure you, GSK, and everyone else on Wikipedia has read a thousand times before. I really don't want to see it needlessly cluttering the page when the current version will suffice. CompuHacker (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So will now stop doing this from now on, correct?   CWii ( Talk  17:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * English much? Anyway, I will stop. Or, I will start offloading image notices to separate pages. CompuHacker (talk) 17:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Club, do us all a favor and stop adding so childish. It gets annoying, not to mention a lot of enemies in life. --GSK (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just hours after I resolve this matter, back comes GSK. No more! Everything is fine. CompuHacker (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Out of Body Experiences
Hey.. I didn't know you were into that sort of thing... When I get back to Active Worlds in a couple months, I should definitely recount a vision I had back in August....one I can still remember crystal clear a month later. ;) --The One They Call GSK // talk to me // 06:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Technically, I'm not. I heard it on the radio, tried it that very night, saw myself for 3 seconds, and awoke with a start. It never worked again. CompuHacker (talk) 03:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

re: xkcd revert
The reason there is mouseover text in the lower image is because it is a thumb in the main text and not in the infobox; as far as I know, image captions in thumbs are automatically used as mouseover text, whereas in an infobox the image, image caption, and mouseover text are all given as separate fields. In other words, no user purposely put mouseover text in the "Wikipedian Protester" image, it just shows up because the user gave a caption. If you want to put mouseover text on the infobox image, that's ok, but the mouseover text should either be the same as the image caption ('Panel from "Philosophy"') or should specifically attribute the mouseover text to Munroe (i.e., "The mouseover text for this comic was...."). Personally, I don't see any encyclopaedic value in adding mouseover text for that image; the purpose of the article is to inform readers about xkcd, not to replicate xkcd. That's just my two cents. &mdash;Politizer( talk • contribs ) 01:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Osmos4.PNG
 Thanks for uploading File:Osmos4.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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 08:29, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

non-free rational on free image
You recently uploaded File:Neko_animated.gif tagged with a nonfree rational and a free license, if you have done this because the upload form added it automatically and you don't believe that the screenshot is non-free then read below.


 * PS.

Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see ). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I just typed random time on the image. Does it have to be same as the time the original image was taken? I don't get what you're saying.

Warning
Welcome to Wikipedia (again). Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your edits to User:Jimbo Wales appeared to be constructive, at least in my opinion. However, because you offered a barnstar for being warned, your edit has now been considered unconstructive, and thus you are receiving this message. In addition, Silver seren has undone your edit, but I warned you first, so they're probably angry that I beat them to this. Anyway, please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Fair use rationale for File:Yahoo2.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Yahoo2.png. 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 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.
