Re: subst:
Hello,

Yes, I know I should use subst and I use it, only sometimes I forgot or I go too fast :( Sorry about that, and thank you for your reminder... :) -- Grafikm_fr  (AutoGRAF)  22:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. G .H  e  22:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

May the Force be with you.
Dear ,
 * Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M  o   P-_  21:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Please advise 209.197.165 "whom you know"...
if he/she could register his/her name, as well as include in an edit summary that he/she is fixing an outdated link, that will greatly aid all concerned. Thanks. NetK 04:05, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox
Quote form the sandbox ''Welcome to the Wikipedia Sandbox! This page allows you to carry out experiments''. I was doing some experiments. I have the right to do anything to the sandbox. How do you know I wasn't just experimenting with mirroring pages? It also says Content will not stay permanently; this page is automatically cleaned every 12 hours.. So, if it won't stay permanently, then why do you care? It doesn't matter what kind of experiment I do, that's my business.

Look at this edit where somebody copied an article into the sandbox; nobody got confused. -- George Mon  e  y Talk   Contribs 21:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * About the cleaned every 12 hours: The script seems to be currently malfunctioning. Therefore, the reset won't work for users who wish to start with a clean Sandbox. Also, if you wish to do that type of testing, at least leave the header with the instructions. G .H  e  22:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Censorshop on Cockettes entry
Regarding the Cockettes article: from profanity: "words should never be bowdlerized by replacing letters in the word with dashes, asterisks, or other symbols." --Larrybob 19:36, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Help?
how do you make the box where it says your gender, nationality, the fact that you hate internet explorer etc. Tado 02:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * For most of them, I've used Templates. Just go here and copy the templates you wish to use. There are, of course others, but it may take some time to find them. I usually guess when I want to add something new, and most of the time, it's already created (I.e. obviously has something to do with Firefox). If not, you can create them, but you might want to look at the specific template coding (I.e. Template:user TEMPLATE NAME and see the source).  G .H  e  02:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, this is a really good place to find templates. G .H  e  02:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi. I have fixed the internal link to that category you were trying to link to. To link to a category, put a colon before the namespace. For example, instead of doing  , do   : Category:people . Thanks, --  George Money Talk Contribs 03:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I see. Thanks. I realized that without the colon, it just adds the page to the category. G .H  e  03:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)

 * I'm sorry if you've misunderstood, but I did not remove content. I was only modifying the Sandbox heading so that it will only appear on Sandbox. The reason for that is to prevent testers from accidentally/purposefully modifying the header for testing reasons. G .H  e  23:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Please visit this link. You will see that the contents are still there as you scroll down. G .H  e  23:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox
Sorry for a late reply ... Go to Template:Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)/noedit. I put it there, because it is the only way to make it float. -- GeorgeMoney T·C 00:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Lol. And I thought the /noedit was a command. :P G .H  e  00:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Protection
I found your flaw...... I would also suggest redirecting User:GHe/END OF THE PAGE to. If you make it .css, then nobody can edit it except you.-- GeorgeMoney T·C 01:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Not really... I think css & js would screw things up since they have special properties. No worries... I won't be going into THAT much work for protection. :) G .<font color="#666666">H  e  01:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You know what would be great? I have created a temp page that is cool. Look at what it produces: —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GeorgeMoney (talk • contribs).

Speedy deleted
I've gone ahead and deleted User:GHe/Stats for you. Bobo. 03:21, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. (Now there are three pages left to be deleted...) G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

GHe said: Do you mind deleting the rest of the three pages that are no longer useful to me? Thanks.

I've deleted User:GHe/END OF THE PAGE|End of the page. Which other pages would you like deleted? Bobo. 03:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, I meant to keep the END OF THE PAGE ONE... sorry if I hadn't made it clear. Can you please revert that one? The following are the three pages...:

* User:GHe/Stat * User:GHe/Temp * User:GHe/Tеmp

(One of the Temp has a different "e") G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:31, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully this is now as you wished. I apologize for getting the wrong one. Bobo. 03:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully this is now okay
I hope everything is sorted as you wish now. I've been patrolling quite a lot of vandalism on User pages all morning, and to have seen a bona fide speedy userpage message is a rare thing amongst so much maldoing. Bobo. 03:34, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup. It's all fine now. I created the Stats page a while ago because I thought it would be good to have a "current status" thing at the time. But then I found out how much work it was to keep it accurate and I don't want to be changing that every time my status changes (which appeared to be quite often...). The other Temp pages were made tonight for temporary testing purposes and were no longer needed. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Temporary pages are wonderful things to work with at the best of times. As for Status pages, they can be very useful until one realizes how often they must be updated. :) Everything should now be working fine, you now have END OF THE PAGE, Header, Redirect and VCount at your disposal. Bobo. 03:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Confusion
Please refrain from posting on my page when you are confused about who vandalized and who reverted. Please examine the history harder next time. Thank you. 69.134.145.197 04:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm very sorry about that. I will definitely be more careful and make sure that doesn't happen again. (or not be on at 1 AM in the morning local time). I reposted the warning on User talk:ItsaMeWallacio. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  05:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Image:Anus.jpg
Well, Wikipedia is not censored for minors. If the copyright and other legal aspects are ok, then it can be used. So that leaves the question on should it be used and I think it is an editorial judgment of the people that use the page. Maybe it should be brought up on Talk:Anal stretching? It seems to make sense for the image to be used in that article. It is no different then Image:VaginalOpening.jpg being used on Vagina. Looking at the WP:IFD page, the argument that is unencyclopedic is a very subjective one. Personally, I tend to stay away from the more controversial issues if they don't relate to what I usually edit, as in this case. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 20:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:DMCI DMMS-Satellite.PNG listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:DMCI DMMS-Satellite.PNG, has been listed at Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 21:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, what type of image can I use to depict it? Is a map of the location acceptable? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  21:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The best type of images are those that are under a free license. If you can find a photo of the building that is under such a license, that would be great. Please see WP:FU for information on how an image qualifies as fair use. Stifle (talk) 21:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not sure about the licensing of another image, but it solely depicts the building. What do you think about that? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  21:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The main problem is what the image was originally intended for. An image from Google Earth can only be used under fair use in the article on Google Earth, or directly in connection with Google Earth. This is specifically mentioned on WP:FU. If you can point out the image you have in mind, I might be able to better advise you. Stifle (talk) 21:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What about this? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  21:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good, just tag it as and underneath state that it qualifies as fair use to illustrate the article and because it is low resolution. Stifle (talk) 21:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if you think the other image is a violation, by all means delete it. I have no problems with it being deleted. While you're at it, can you please verify the new image to confirm that it's okay to use? Thanks. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  21:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's all good, I've marked it as such. Stifle (talk) 21:54, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So what's the consensus of the 1st image? Should it be deleted or is it still being debated? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  23:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've deleted it per your request. Stifle (talk) 23:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Just as a side question, any pictures I take (I.e. using a digital camera) may be submitted under a free license if I wish, as long as it doesn't violate any possible restrictions regarding the location the picture was taken, right? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  23:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. In fact, the only instance where restrictions would be placed on photos you took is if you were working for a company and your contract said that they owned the copyright for your creative work, or if you took a photograph of the Eiffel Tower at night (French courts have ruled that the lighting patterns of the tower are copyrightable, somehow.) Stifle (talk) 09:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Images/media
Yes, as far as I understand it, you are right--if you take the photo yourself you can release it under a free license and all is well (I'm trying hard to think of an exception but one is not coming to me). "Fair use" is a minefield here; in two years I've managed to avoid uploading a single fair use image because I don't want to try to justify it. Hope this helps and happy editing! Antandrus (talk) 03:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * In regards to your further question--I don't know the answer for certain. I suspect that GFDL carries along with any derivative work on something previously GFDL, so you could safely slap the same license on it that it originally had.  Antandrus  (talk) 03:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

My PotD
Will you join My Picture of the Day? The reason I have it, is so images that aren't Featured quality can still be featured. Anybody can put a picture there. All you have to do is pick a day for your picture, and create a page in "User:GeorgeMoney/Month DayNumber, Year". Then, use the following format: Put  on the page of the day you are creating (Remember for all of the optional variables that you don't use, totally remove them from the syntax). Then all you have to do is put  on your userpage, and it will automatically make the picture for the day. If you want to have it show your picture forever, put. Replace "May 47, 2009" with the day your picture will be on.

Also, can you add your name to My Spamlist? Don't worry, my spam isn't bad and annoying like the Esperanza and Community Justice spam. My spam is just news and events in plain text formatting like this.

Band?
Im wondering if this band i know of would qualify for an article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tado (talk • contribs).


 * Which band? If the band is quite well-known, then it would probably be considered for article creation. However, if the band is very small or not well-known to the general public, then it may not be such a good idea to have an article about it beacuse it would not concern many people/audience in general. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  23:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * they only have two songs Tado 23:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, in that case, I'm not really sure if that would be a great idea... Articles that are really insignificant tend to get deleted from what I've encountered in the past because they aren't really helpful to the general audience... But the final decision is up to you—if you think it deserves to be mentioned and that the article can be made a decent length, go ahead. But if you think it's too specific and would become a stub, it would be better to leave it alone for now... G .<font color="#666666">H  e  23:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Can stubs but requested for deletion? And can they become articles with more information? Tado 00:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Stubs are basically short articles. Like all articles, they can be deleted. As stubs gain more information, the stub tag can be removed, and the "stub" will no longer be a "stub", but rather a normal-lengthed/info-filled article. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  00:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry... Become an administrator? - Tado 01:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You can request for adminship. First, you either must self-nominate or get nominated by someone else. Afterwards, a voting takes place. If consensus is reached, you become admin. If not, you don't, but you can request again later. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  01:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 Request for Adminship 

Thank you for supporting/objecting/tropicanising me in my request for Adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a final vote count of 14/27/12, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers

Vandalism reversion
There are certainly several RCPers with whom I have occasion to cross paths whilst reverting vandalism, but you've just reverted three articles consecutively just as I was rolling back each. You're just too quick for me, I suppose. In any case, I've noted the celerity and copiousness of your vandalism reversion several times over the past few weeks, so I thought I ought to drop you a line to compliment you on the good work.

Since you learn something new every day, today you learn that Mad-dog was speaking Spanish rather than French, and that he called you a shit-eating bastard son of a whore.

 * I had a feeling that it was something like that, even though Google Translate did a pretty bad job of translating:

"porque tu eres un maraco cabron comemierda hijo de puta" was translated into:... "because your you are a maraco cabron comemierda son of puta"
 * when I used Spanish->English (The sentence was nowhere near French :P) Because of that, I couldn't fully accuse I'm N' Mad-dog at the time beacuse I'm uncertain about the true content (thought I was pretty convinced that it was nothing good from what I could tell at the time).

I got a note saying i'd posted nonsense on the ww1 page and that it was vandalism. please explain more clearly as I can 100% defend any changes I have made. Wikipedia is designed to allow free editing and thus become more accurate - fascistesq controls go against this as I know considerably more about the social consequences of ww1 than you do. Please explain. thanks (for my explination, see talk:ww1)

 * Sorry about that... Apparently, you and 65.10.132.187 made edits consecutively, and it was 65.10.132.187 who wrote . But when Meeso reverted it back to Curps' version, I didn't check to see who did what. My apologies and happy editing!  G .<font color="#666666">H  e  20:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Misza 13 T C has grinned at you! Grins promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better (since your smile has made Misza13's day). Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk pages (or make up a smile yourself). Happy editing! Misza 13 T C 21:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship
Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! -  Corbin  <sup style="color:#009933;">Be excellent

Hi, GHE. Could you check the article Israel? because it has been vandalized many times. SO, Please check on that. ok? Thanks. Please, Reply on my talk page. Daniel5127, 02:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Tone's RfA thanks
Dear &mdash; Thank you for your support on my recent RfA. It succeeded with a final tally of 46/2/3 so now I am an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the new tools, but please let me know if there's any anything I can help you with in the future. And please correct me, if you spot I make a mistake. Thank you again. --Ton e  23:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC))

List of U.S. states and their state flower, tree, and bird
I see you have created a very pretty, well-put together, and well-referenced list at List of U.S. states and their state flower, tree, and bird. The only problem is we already have individual lists for these three things (as well as a host of other state insignia, including official reptile, amphibian, mammal, butterfly, insect, grass, soil, mineral...) and it doesn't make a lot of sense to pick a bunch and combine them in one. The place you need to have a look at is Lists of U.S. state insignia. I'd highly recommend taking a look over those lists - some of them haven't had a lot of work done on them recently and could do with a bit of reformatting or prettying up - and see how many of them you could turn into featured lists. Most look feasible, List of U.S. state neckwear is unlikely to make the grade :p As for the list you've made already, it's generally a bad idea to keep redundant articles and lists (mainting, updating or improving them makes twice the work) so perhaps it should just be turned into a "disambiguation" page linking to the other three? You've obviously developed fantastic list-formatting skills, and your referencing is looking much better than the vast majority editors, so I can see you pumping out featured lists like a sausage factory if you decide to really get in to it! Do you think that improving all the Lists of U.S. state insignia might be your niche? TheGrappler 02:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I must confess: I so did not realize that this already existed in other lists :(..... Well... having said that, a disambig page would be the best choice... This also proves the point that a fair amount of articles may not be found when someone searches, thus resulting in undesired consequences, as in this case.... I only wish that this was discovered earlier in the beginning. :(


 * Having said that, I might look at some other Insignia lists and try to see if they can be further improved. Thanks for the very helpful (but disappointing : comment. I really appreciate that someone found this out before it can get worse. :S G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately the site search for Wikipedia is rubbish. I always try to check before I create a new article that it hasn't been done before, but googling the site first (and also double-checking in the categories) seems to be the best way to do it. The good news is you could easily merge your list into the pre-existing ones and raise their quality. By keeping the lists focused on one topic, it would also be possible to illustrate every single insignia (so long as there is a photo on Wikipedia or Commons somewhere). Like I said, the list you produced was fundamentally of "featurable" quality (possibly with a little bit of work, but not much) and there are plenty of lists on Wikipedia that are of very low quality yet are inherently featurable if they got a little bit of TLC. You seem to have the skills to do that... so if you want to do some "rescue" missions, there's definitely a job there for you with a rather nice reward at the end. Try not to be too dismayed!

 * Thanks for the moral support. I really appreciate it. By the way, can you please check List of U.S. states and their state flower, tree, and bird now that I've done the "disambig" thing? I moved the old article to an archive for future uses in other articles/lists. Thanks. G .<font color="#666666">H  e  04:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Watchlist
Hi GHe! I have 913. However, I also routinely check "related changes" to a couple of other pages, such as User:Antandrus/watch, which is a compilation of links only from a lot of big list pages in my subject area (I probably check that one once a day or so). Hope this helps! Antandrus (talk) 03:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Phew. That's a relief. I only have 772 right now (but I think it's going to rapidly expand over the course of time). By the way, after looking at User:Antandrus/watch, I wonder how do you check it? It looks awfully overwhelming (and painful) for me. :P Is it really that easy to go through the list? G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It's actually pretty easy. I go to the page and click on the "related changes" tab, which provides all the recent changes on anything that links to that page (over 1000 items).  Then I bookmark that.  Now all I have to do is pull down the bookmark, and I get my list of changes.  :-)  Antandrus  (talk) 03:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip! Hopefully, it'll be helpful to me as well! :) G .<font color="#666666">H  e  03:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Grace notes, accidentals
Hi again! Sorry I missed your question last night; sometimes that happens when I get multiple messages! The short answer is yes. In modern notational practice, if you have any accidental in a bar, it carries through to the end of the bar, whether on a grace note or not. However, in practice, it is essential to put in a "reminder" or "courtesy" accidental on the later note since in this case it would be particularly easy to forget. Cheers!

Accidentals regardless of octave
Greetings again: not a dumb question at all. It's one of the most often asked questions about notation and accidentals. By convention, when a note is given an accidental, it applies only to that same pitch level, e.g. if middle C is sharped, the C an octave above, when sounded in the same bar, and if no accidental is given, is played natural. However, it is common practice to put in "courtesy" naturals in such a case (I always do it when I write out parts for people). Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 23:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
