What Essays are supposed to do
You reverted my reversion recently to WP:WIF. In doing so, your edit comment states that Essays are supposed to espouse a POV. That is not true. User pages are for espousing POV. Essays fall under WP:OWN, WP:POV, WP:EANP, and WP:SOAPBOX. Those are the problems with WP:WIF -- all of the above. Heathhunnicutt 22:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Point me to an essay that does not contain the author's POV. Even if this should be in user space, you would be bing a DICK to trip this up over a technicality. Do the contrasting essays (e.g., why WP is NOT failing) contain a POV? In point of fact, I suspect you know this and concede to the truth of it. But like most users trying to bowdlerize the essay, could give one rip about anything but your own agenda to here. CyberAnth 22:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * As I understand it, essays can have POV and WP:OWN does not apply either when as an essay or in userspace. JoshuaZ 22:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Josh, let me make a point. It is one thing to in good faith improve an essay while retaining its point. That is not what is going on here. The thing going on is more like - well, re-read you message, feel how you feel about it, and then do revert the change...just as people are doing with the essay. CyberAnth 22:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have no intention of reverting or not, my comment was purely an observation of policy. JoshuaZ 23:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Although actually WP:OWN does cover essays. If an essay is being abused as a soapbox, and other editors won't allow it to continue to be abused as such, it can be nominated for deletion.  Given the long-term idiocy at that article I think I will rouge it up a little. Guy (Help!) 23:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The point is that is tripping up something very important over a technicality. How about we simply set up a re-direct from its current location into Worldtraveller's user space? CyberAnth 23:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Copy-paste moves
Are a violation of the GFDL. If you want to move the essay, use the move tab. Hesperian 00:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have never used it, so...don't wanna mess somthin' up. CyberAnth 00:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well you're in a bind then, because copy-paste moving is messing something up. Hesperian 00:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Big red boxes on top of essays are a great idea
Firstly, it looks attractive. Secondly, the message of this article really has been made into something other than what the author has said. Whether the few hacks who call themselves "the community" here agrees or not, we should make sure the core message of the essay is not changed. I should point out that I, too, know how it feels to have my words twisted into something they are not. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I can understand how that would feel. If people were twisting my words into the something they were not, I'd be reverting a lot too. CyberAnth 00:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Consider this a strong warning to immediately stop accusing good faith editors of vandalism. This is totally out of line. You have done so repeatedly regarding the "Wikipedia is failing" page. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that it's vandalism. This is a wiki and everyone can edit it. -- Cyde Weys 00:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have not done that to any good faith editors or admins. CyberAnth 00:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't care for your weaseling word games. Do it again and you'll be blocked.  -- Cyde Weys  00:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It was a good faith statement. CyberAnth 00:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey...is your email turned on here? MetsFan76 02:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure is! CyberAnth 03:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok I just sent you one. MetsFan76 03:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Essjay article
See the discussion on the talk page - I disagree with you and I strongly feel the inline citations are required. If you you would like to rewrite the current version WITH inline citations please do so; But until such time I strongly urge you to reconsider you edit Glen 10:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree inline citations are better. However, the text of this article is a vast, VAST improvement over the prior version. The text really does not seem to go beyond the available sources - and believe me, I have followed this mess extremely closely since it began. Certainly nothing in the text appears made up. CyberAnth 10:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Now yet another editor has joined in the reverting, so I've protected it. See Talk:Essjay controversy Glen 10:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Good job. Take a look at the talk page. The exact quote of Sanger's response is more accurate with full in line citations. The quote colors the picture quite well. Thanx. Q uack    G uru    TALK 07:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Bonny Hicks
I notice from your contributions you have not been very active lately, but I'd still like to inform you that I'm renominating Bonny Hicks, an article you expanded, for Good Article status. Resurgent insurgent 09:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the note
I really think you might get a different perspective if you actually look at the diffs and read the whole conversation. I know we've had our disagreements in the past, and I thought you were gone but while you're here I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize for overreacting re the Penny Arcade thing. I shouldn't have dragged you onto ANI like that; I should have just let it go. I'm sorry for the trouble I gave you that day.

As regards this current ANI thread, though, I really think you're wrong. If you're taking an interest in this, please look carefully at everything I've actually said to that user. If you find a diff that you feel is out of line, well, please point me to it. — coe l acan — 22:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

DOM
I tried to add a well sourced item to the article, but it immediatley got reverted because I'm considered pro DOM. Also your sandbox got forwarded to the main article because it was considered a forum for promoting DOM's interests after I played with it. It seems that the article will never be completed without your impartial help. I give up on trying. Harvardy 17:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Charles D. Provan - The Bible and Birth Control.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charles D. Provan - The Bible and Birth Control.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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. (ESkog)(Talk) 21:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Charles d. provan 2000.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Charles d. provan 2000.jpg. 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.

Image:Gerard_Jean-Juste.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gerard_Jean-Juste.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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.

GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

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.

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 insure 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.

I have 20-25 pages of logs of them planning and carrying out the attacks. Wikipedia's apparent disinterest in defending itself amazes me sometimes.

Bonny Hicks nominated for GA drive
Greetings, CyberAnth. I believe Bonny Hicks has GA potential, and I have nominated it for the GA drive. Since you are the article's primary contributor, you may wish to "adopt" the article, and encourage others to do so as well.

The following concerns must be addressed before the article can attain GA status (note that there may be issues that I failed to notice):
 * The article needs a copy-edit.
 * As the reviewer who failed the article's previous GA nomination commented, "the article could be substantially improved by adding some context".

The GA drive is still in an experimental stage; any queries or feedback about this method of collaboration should be posted at talk page of the SGpedians' notice board.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Duggar family 2006.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Duggar family 2006.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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Onan-slain.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Onan-slain.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image with an unknown source or an unknown copyright status which has been tagged as such for more than 7 days, and it still lacks the necessary information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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.

 * You have added an approximate date for this image ("c. 1860") but have not satisfied the criteria for the source of the image. The uploader (or some editor) must answer: Who created this image? Where did this image come from? Unless this information is added to this page, the image will be deleted one week after 18 November 2007.  Thanks, Robert K S (talk) 14:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Cite soliel3.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cite soliel3.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.

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 10:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Superm401 - Talk 10:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Charles D. Provan - The Bible and Birth Control.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charles D. Provan - The Bible and Birth Control.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
