Chemtrail -> Chemtrail theory
I renamed the article "chemtrail theory". I think this is a more accurate name for the article, a name which puts the reader in the right "frame of mind", and a name that does not imply truth or untruth. A theory is a proposed, but not fully proven explanation. A theory is likely to be believed by some but disputed by others. I hope that this addresses your concerns regarding NPOV. - Pioneer-12 16:42, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Come back to HAARP
Can I convince you to come back to the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program article and help straighten it out a bit? I think the amount of useful information about HAARP will crowd out the conspiracy theory material - perhaps that deserves its own page? John Elder 09:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New User Page
Hi, Goferwiki, I saw your note on the New Users Page. I hope you'll decide to stay; I know how it can be to contribute from your hard earned expertise and have someone revert it without comment. Not everyone here respects the value of a doctorate (trust me, I know, I have two), but many do. The best thing to do is to make your changes, and if they are reverted, change them back. Leave an edit summary note asking reverters to make arguments on the talk page, and post your sources there. If you're right about what you're saying, then eventually your position will win out. If you'd like to talk about your frustration, feel free to leave me a note. -- Essjay ·  Talk June 30, 2005 02:28 (UTC)

Neuroscience and God
What are your thoughts on mysticism and its relation to neuroscience? The works of Andrew Nerberg and Eugene d'Aquili stand out as truly thought provoking, and more importantly, discussion building. Just say the word 'God' without adding the addendum "whatever you may define It to be, personality or 'mere' neurological bonus" and immediately the reductionists square off with theists.

RE:Institute of National Remembrance
please, do not blank article sections or remove cited sources without first discussing on the talk page, as that constitutes vandalism.

License tagging for File:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Tsp livingroom.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Tsp livingroom.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sasikiran (talk) 20:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Tsp collective now.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tsp collective now.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Replaceable fair use Image:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Seldon Plan 2009.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 22:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
