Welcome!
Just wanted to say thanks for the re-org, I have been doing a little work on that page for the past few days and find the way you modified the categories to be much better done.Mjancsics 01:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello
"The deletion is needed in the article. If you check the previous versions, the following sentences are repeated twice in the same section of the article."

After you made your edit some other guy deleted the first sentence so now it is totally gone. Also I believe this is a Japanese expression and that haveing it puts an emphasis on what the Japanese learned. Gipornm 13:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Islamic extremist terrorism
Please provide once example in which the sources reference "Islamist extremist terrorism." Thanks, KazakhPol 06:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Neumann hildegard.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Neumann hildegard.jpg. The image description 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.

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 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 18:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elfriede Motzkuhn
Hi Eqdoktor, as opposed to putting speedy deletion notices on the unsourced articles regarding concentration camp guards, could you please add them to the above AfD? I understand the need to remove unreferenced information ASAP per WP:BLP, but these articles are over 2 years old, and I think a deletion discussion is the best way to approach the lot. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 10:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello, I respectfully disagree, these articles are clear violations of WP:BLP immediately, if calling someone a Nazi, cruel and a murderer is considered an attack. I am tagging the ones that have been labelled living persons, the others whose status are dead - I leave unreferenced tags for later AFD proposals. They cannot be found outside of the Wikipedia or mirrors - I have been doing my own research and I cannot find them mentioned on any Holocaust infos or documented court proceedings. I believe it is best if they are speedily deleted. Leaving them up is not beneficial and is against strong Wikipedia policies. If they have a legitimate reason to be in Wikipedia, they can be restored (with proper cites/refs). --Eqdoktor 10:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The articles are over 2 years old. Waiting 5 days for the AfD to close is not a big deal.  That and you are clogging CSD and making a lot of work for me and other administrators -- Samir धर्म  22:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * True, but CSD10 is rather clear cut as to unsourced unflattering bios on living persons per my understanding and I applied it. As for the workload, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it :) <-- smiley. Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year. --Eqdoktor 22:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Underwood Carrie.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Underwood Carrie.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 10:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've responded at the image's talk page. —ShadowHalo 20:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * On a similar note, I'm contacting the copyright holder of this picture to see if she'll release it under a free license. —ShadowHalo 20:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I apologize for using the phrase "copyright violation"; you were right that it's an inappropriate way to label it. My intent was not to accuse of breaking copyright laws, merely Wikipedia's policy for copyrighted images.  Thanks for pointing that out.  To be sure, would "WP:FUC violation" suffice (since the issue is whether or not the image meets WP:FUC, not copyright laws)?  Also, the issue of the copyright status of the two images seems to be two separate issues, so discussing the concert image is best done at the image's discussion page.  Would it be appropriate to copy the relevant discussion to the image's discussion page and start a discussion at WP:IFD (or somewhere else)?  I disagree with some of the points you made about the image but since I haven't dealt with broadcasting/publicity rights before, I'd like to see what other people have to say about the matter.  —ShadowHalo 08:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * To clarify, the screenshot is/was being used under fair use, in which case it is disputed whether or not it would be possible to create a free image. The concert pic is currently being used under the CC Attribution license (in which case none of WP:FUC would apply) though it's disputed that the author can do that because of broadcasting/publicity rights.  I'll go see about listing it for deletion (though I just realized it might work differently since it's at the Commons) and I'll make sure to give you a link.  —ShadowHalo 10:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The deletion request is located here. Rather than copy the entire text, I included a link to the screenshot's talk page.  To let you know, I was checking the Commons' CSD to see if it said anything about the uploader's making a request to have material removed and it seemed to mention that concert pics could be used (link).  So there might have been discussion on this before, or it could have been overlooked.  —ShadowHalo 10:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Hopefully this will get a more substantial response.  —ShadowHalo 01:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

About cruffs
I agree... there are too much cruffs out there that they dare not admit because it's western. help me make wikipedia better, will ya? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by George Leung (talk • contribs) 10:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

Carrie Underwood
Thank you for finally resolving the Carrie Underwood / Creek people issue with your citation. This was bounced around about two weeks ago, but you have finally resolved it. Hopefully, someone will follow the link to Carrie Underwood to see the citation; I'm not quite sure why she needs so much more documentation than Greg T. Walker or Cytherea. . . . -- Bruce H.

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 15:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Mike Tyson
Congrats by the way, you're hard work paid off and you significantly contributed to making a Good Article out of the mess that was Tyson. Quadzilla99 18:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much. You deserve some kudos for your work on the Tyson article. Like I said when I started the review I was impressed with how good it looked compared to several several months ago, it looks even better now. Keep it up! Quadzilla99 16:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I gave it a copyedit and corrected some things that could be perceived as POV, fixed some MoS issues, expanded the lead, and re-did the Awards section. Feel free to revert/change anything you don't like. Incidentally, the lead is supposed to be a summary of the article so just use it to sumarize the article in the future. It's really more than an intro; in many cases all people read is the lead. It should serve as a stand alone section that summarizes all the major aspects of the subject. The article still needs a little copyediting but, these guys will get to it. Quadzilla99 18:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I tweaked it a little more, looks good. Like I said if you don't like anything feel free to change it around. Quadzilla99 18:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Tiger Woods split
For reasons beyond me, Wikipedia wants articles to remain a certain size, and the splitting of 36 kb of information magically makes this article cleaner. Do you really think it does? It simply makes it tougher to find pertinent information. People interested in those details might not find the little link that leads to the new page, and the replacement summary looks rather sad even after I tried to add some summary-style information. Can we bring back the 36 kb of information back into this 63 kb article? All other golfers have the PGA Tour career summary and the table of major wins (which I made) nicely laid out. This article seems incomplete without it. At the moment, the summary underneath it looks amateur and not A-level. Thanks. Supertigerman 17:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I have a viable compromise.

What to include: The Major championships table, the Results timeline, the PGA Tour career summary, PGA Tour wins list (not the table), the Other wins, and the US Team appearances (which is about 6 lines). This is how the list of PGA Tour wins would look (this is what all other golfers have): Notice this is a lot shorter than the detailed table and is what all other golfers have.
 * 1996 (2) Las Vegas Invitational, Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic
 * 1997 (4) Mercedes Championships, The Masters, GTE Byron Nelson Golf Classic, Motorola Western Open
 * 1998 (1) BellSouth Classic
 * 1999 (8) Buick Invitational, Memorial Tournament, Motorola Western Open, PGA Championship, WGC-NEC Invitational, National Car Rental Golf Classic Disney, The Tour Championship, WGC-American Express Championship
 * 2000 (9) Mercedes Championships, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Bay Hill Invitational, Memorial Tournament, U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship, WGC-NEC Invitational, Bell Canadian Open
 * 2001 (5) Bay Hill Invitational, THE PLAYERS Championship, The Masters, Memorial Tournament, WGC-NEC Invitational
 * 2002 (5) Bay Hill Invitational presented by Cooper Tires, The Masters, U.S. Open, Buick Open, WGC-American Express Championship
 * 2003 (5) Buick Invitational, WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, Bay Hill Invitational presented by Cooper Tires, 100th Western Open presented by Golf Digest, WGC-American Express Championship
 * 2004 (1) WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship
 * 2005 (6) Buick Invitational, Ford Championship at Doral, The Masters, British Open, WGC-NEC Invitational, WGC-American Express Championship
 * 2006 (8) Buick Invitational, Ford Championship at Doral, British Open, Buick Open, PGA Championship, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Deutsche Bank Championship, WGC-American Express Championship
 * 2007 (3) Buick Invitational, WGC-CA Championship, Wachovia Championship

What not to include in the main article (since it is in the detailed new article)
 * The records and trivia for the major championships
 * Anything about the World Golf Championships because the wins are already mentioned
 * The extra columns in the PGA Tour professional career summary (notice there are 4 currently in the main article but 10 in the detailed one in the new article)
 * The playoff record
 * Awards

I believe this is much shorter than the 36 kb which was removed and would make the article look complete enough without excess information. Thanks for your input and time. Supertigerman 17:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm going to copy this discussion over to the Tiger Woods talk area as its more relevant there. --Eqdoktor 19:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Longines logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Longines logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 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 06:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Fair use rationale added Mr. Robot --Eqdoktor 17:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

"References" edits
snip!~ removed a huge amount of blather that started with vs 

PS:
 * 1) There are NO rules governing minor or 'stylistic' edits that you "think" exists in Wikipedia. THERE AIN'T NO SUCH RULES BAYBEH! WRAP Yo' BRAIN ROUND THAT! FREAKY!
 * 2) We are all noobs compared to the great white Wale. Well okay, hes a noob compared to Pliny the Elder. Oh that dang Wales and his Difference engine!
 * 3) It is apparent that you didn't even know what (smaller font format) did before I pointed it out to you. You reverted the change in ignorance of the effects of your edits. In light of your long lecture, perhaps you may want to take your own advice to heart.
 * 4) Did you realize you just wrote several hundred words to a random Wikipedia editor because you didn't like his attitude? Are you a schoolteacher by any chance? Do you randomly stop strangers on the streets because they 'look funny' and say, "Your clothes offend the fashion police!"?

Are you familiar with Monty Python and The Argument Sketch? I want to be John Cleese, You can be Michael Palin. The Cleese part is easier. I say this in all good humor, I'm looking for the Uncyclopedia section.

--Eqdoktor 07:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

PPS: I believe this is the end of the matter for me. If you feel you want to continue further on the matter, I believe its better we do The Fish-Slapping Dance but I get to do the fish slapping :)

 * No it isn't! :) --Eqdoktor 08:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
