Hemorrhoid
Thank you, Crumb. A perfect solution. I just don't understand why some people refuse to see the difference between professional photos like the one you discretely linked and the one the troll kept adding to the article. Tom Haws July 9, 2005 03:26 (UTC)


 * Thanks Tom :) --crumb 9 July 2005 03:29 (UTC)

Animal rights
Hi Crumb, message for you at Talk:Animal rights. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 07:20, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Compr(om)ise
Hi, hope you don't mind me bringing this relatively minor quibble over onto your talk page. Just my pedantry getting the better of me, I suppose :-)

From The Concise Oxford English Dictionary:
 * comprise v.tr.
 * include; comprehend.
 * consist of, be composed of (the book comprises 350 pages).

So, as you can see, it's fairly nonsensical to say that something "is comprised of" its constituent parts. This usage of the passive form probably arises from confusion with "is composed of". Admittedly, this form is increasingly common (so much so that many mistakenly believe the correct form to be incorrect when they see it, as I assume you did when you reverted my edit) but it is still disputed and considered informal (see the Wiktionary page on "comprise"). With that in mind, I favour using the standard English.

However, if you're still not convinced, how about the following compromise: instead of "drukqs is comprised of 30 tracks", we could have "...consists of 30 tracks" or "...is composed of 30 tracks". Both are correct and obviate any debate over the usage of "comprise".

Oh, and by the way, my changing AMG to All Music Guide was for the sake of stylistic consistency, as most of the album pages I'd seen before had it that way, so I didn't consider it "unnecessary". However, now that I've seen that all the other Aphex pages that link to AMG have it formatted as AMG, I suppose it should be left that way.

 * Well thanks, CapitalLetterBeginning. Very few people actually explain why they make the changes they made. So, I apologize and admit that you were right all along. I try to think that I know good English, and your edits seemed wrong with what I thought was right. I'll move to London this coming year to learn how to properly write in English ;). Thanks. --crumb 16:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Heh, cheers, that's very gracious of you! - CapitalLetterBeginning 11:48, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Animal template
Hi Crumb, I see you moved Britches from the template because you found him hard to look at. Yes, he is that, indeed. I removed the previous one because it was fair use, and I didn't feel we could claim fair use for a template, but this is just to let you know that I'm in the process of looking for a PD image to replace Britches with. It does need to be an image that represents the concerns of the animal liberation movement, but I'll look for one that isn't quite as hard-hitting as Britches.

Digg
The sources for "Potential to easily spread false information" were cited. At the very least please return that section. Also, I don't see any sources cited for the other criticisms. What makes them different? Noclip 02:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Google Chrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.png
Thank you for uploading File:Google Chrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:40, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Google Chrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Google Chrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
