Terry McCrann
Hi. I guess almost the last thing I did was put the welcome message on you page before heading off to sleep, whic is why I didn't answer sooner. I assume that this is what you want:

is what I used here.

would also work.

By changing the px number you can make it bigger or smaller but 200 or 250 is probably a good size. I notice that the page you have the picture on has been tagged as not having it's copyright status listed. You need to get that fixed. Where did the picture come from? As to the deleting of the article, well that does happen fast sometimes. What you need to do is to try and set the whole article up beforehand on your own computer. Make sure that you have the categegory(s) and if necessary the stub tags on the article. Also make sure it's Wikified. That is put as much as is possible (and sensible) within the, check out [[Wikipedia:Tutorial and Tutorial (Formatting). Hope this helps. If you need any more help just leave a message on my talk page. I will be on for the next few days from 0600 - 1300 Coordinated Universal Time. CambridgeBayWeather 18:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I deleted Terry McCrann for violating the copyright of the article from which it was clipped. I didn't see any indication it was used with permission. Even if it had been, it would still need a major overhaul, as that is not an encyclopedia article but a promotional blurb. If you want to write something in a more serious and encyclopedic form it almost certainly would not be deleted. -R. fiend 14:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * First of all, you need to avoid copyright violations. This is easily avoided by putting things in your own words, and not doing a cut/paste. It's also important that you keep the article neutral and factual. Avoid superlatives, glowing praise, and anything that really sounds like it was written by the man himself. Also try to keep an encyclopedic tone. ""Will interest rates be cut? Will the dollar fall? Which companies are headed for troubled times?" For more than 20 years Terry has provided critical analysis on these issues and a wide range of events and personalities that have shaped the nation" is not really encyclopedic. Certainly some of that information can be incorporated into the article, but not that way. Finally, it's always best to have more than one source. This is far from always done, but it helps greatly. Good luck. -R. fiend 14:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Lol. I see the prob. cool, thanks. I'll hopefully get it right next time, although this won't be for a while (with end-year exams, etc. I'm a tad busy now).ZPMMaker 07:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

You can just put a speedy tag on it, and someone will be along and delete it. You have to be an admin to delete it yourself. If it keeps getting created enough times that user will probably end up blocked. You could also ask them to stop! Rx StrangeLove 00:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup taskforce
There are two articles on your taskforce desk (I just added the second).

The new one is Transcience of time. You listed Psychology as an interest and this is an article that the other editors aren't sure is a real psychology term or maybe misnamed. Maybe you can figure it out (the article has been moved to talk:Transcience of time. Otherwise just pass it along.

I put this here because I'm not sure everybody checks there desk as often as I do. Speaking of desks, yours doesn't have the template for the little box that tells the maximum number of open tasks you want. If you want you can tell me the number and I'll set it up for you (I'd just copy it off my desk instead of having to look for the usage details). RJFJR 01:40, 22 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I added the template for desk size and interests to your desk. You probably want to edit yoru interestes to be clearer.  Tables of content appear when there are enough headings for it to need a table of contents, unless it is suppressed.  I edited Cleanup Taskforce/Loung Ung so the heading would be on that page and added a bullet in front of a comment.  And I moved the taskforce notice from article to the talk page for Loung Ung. RJFJR 13:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I just added your name to the list at Cleanup Taskforce/Are you active? RJFJR 16:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I read the comment you put at talk:Transcience of time. Looks good to me. Thank you for taking the time to work on this article (especially since it was mainly to prove it wasn't about anything). RJFJR 17:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I put it up for AFD at Articles for deletion/Transcience of time. RJFJR 14:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

How to AFD
The procedure to nominate an article for deletion is at WP:AFD. Take a look through what has been nominated and how the voting is running before deciding if something should be deleted. (For instance, schools, no matter how trivial, almost never make it through AFD.)

In a few special circumstances an article can be speedied and deleted much quicker than going through AFD. The circumstances and conditions (and the procedure) are at WP:CSD (CSD is an acronym for Candidate for Speedy Deletion).

Hope that helps, RJFJR 14:16, 11 November 2005 (UTC).

Please try and keep a cool head, despite comments people may make against you. Personal attacks and disruptive comments will only escalate a situation; please keep calm and action can be taken against the other parties if necessary. Your involvement in attacking back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors, and lead to general bad feeling. Please try and be civil. Thanks! (CJ)  What you said on his page was unacceptable.

Loung Ung (revisited)
Hey hunter, nice to meet you. A Featured Article usually becomes such after it has been reviewed by peers (Peer Review), perhaps many times, and criticisms have been addressed. Then that person who wishes to will nominate it (Featured article candidates). It will then be reviewed by very critical members of the Wikipedia community. None of this occurs until those who collaborate on the article feel that it is ready, sort of a consensus, and request Peer Review. At any rate, this article is far from complete, in my opinion. There is still much to be done to bring it to FA status. If you'd like to remove the tag, go right ahead. After all, you put it there, lol :)) --RogerK 02:36, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

TfD request, Template:Infobox_Ship2
I noticed that you have filed a TfD request for a template you created yourself. If you create an article, redirect, template, or userpage by mistake, and noone else has edited it, you can ask to have it speedily deleted under Wikipedia policy by placing at the top of the page, bypassing AfD, RfD, TfD, or MfD as appropriate, which saves time. --ais523 07:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Dear Hunterd/f06-07,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you have too few edits in the main article namespace. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. &mdash;Xyra e l / 19:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Template:User scourge
Hi, the userbox issue has been a pretty hot potato, and the acceptability of such userboxes has been very hotly debated. I realize that you of course don't really subscribe to whipping people at work, but I feel the joke is a more than a bit insensitive. We don't need to go all that far back in history to find this kind of physical abuse in several countries during the industrial revolution, and I would certainly not be surprised if this brutal practice takes place today.

I want you to compare your box to the climax of the "userbox wars". Someone created a pedophilia userbox ("This user identifies as a pedophile"), and in the aftermath which was promptly deleted. Another user decided to make a parody userbox ("OMG! This user has been attracted to underage females"), which also upset a lot of people. In the end, the fighting which took place over the userbox resulted in two users being temporarily banned and two admins winding up desysopped (three further admins had their adminship restored). The userboxes were of course meant as a joke, but it was a joke in bad taste, and a joke which offended people.

In general, there has been a consensus that userboxes which jokingly promote violence (e.g. "This user thinks pacifists make good target practice") are candidates for speedy deletion, in particular, they meet criterion T1 which Jimbo Wales himself introduced, calling for the deletion of "divisive and inflammatory templates". Several admins and users interpret this criterion very broadly, making it include userboxes which represent a religious or political belief. I personally do not subscribe to such a wide interpretation (indeed I have frequently voted to undelete userboxes which I feel were wrongly deleted), but I do feel that violence boxes (as well as some anti boxes e.g. "This user hates America") are such candidates.

In the case of the Scourge box, I originally did not delete it myself, because T1 is itself rather controversial and quite a lot of grief has arisen from admins deleting userboxes unilaterally. I therefore tagged the userbox for speedy deletion so that another admin could review it, and the speedy delete was confirmed. When you recreated the userbox, I deleted it again, having it confirmed that the box was indeed a T1 candidate. However, since most people don't bother to read userpages, I (reluctantly) decided to allow you to keep the raw code on your userpage. Also, the edit summary you used when recreating the box was... not particularily helpful, calling people "dickheads" does have a tendency to lead to a lot of hard feelings and distress. There are people behind each username, volunteers who donate time and effort to write an encyclopedia, so it's a good thing to be nice to them.

To summarize, I feel that the box you created was made as a good faith joke, but that it was insensitive, and you cannot always expect everyone to get the joke. Userboxes can sometimes be fun, but sometimes it's best to have the fun within your own userspace, and not let it spill over to the "official" namespaces such as Template.

Sorry for a long-winded response, if you have further questions feel free to ask.

Best wishes, Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Huzzah!

 * WOW! That crazy Box set actually had some good stuff in it, didn't it?!

For your edification, the one's I've seen:
 * The Ten Commandments, fantastic, and I own it.
 * To Catch a Thief, an OK Hitchcock thriller
 * Marathon Man, a Laurence Olivier Oscar Nomination! Yay!
 * Roman Holiday, fantastic Romantic comedy from my favourite director, and actress! And I own it
 * Ben-Hur, own it. Good stuff.

You've got some films there that I've been dying to see!
 * A Place in the Sun
 * Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn goodness)
 * Chinatown (though I despise the director)
 * Love Story
 * Die Hard with a Vengance

Ooh, the tables have turned! ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 22:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You're not allowed to have that. Also, check out YMDB it's awesome! I'm Raoul Hernandez on there, search for me!
 * Ooh! Goody. I just looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Audrey Hepburn. Seriously. I think I have serious problems in that department. I'm scaring myself. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 09:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi, Just wanted to request that you shorten and change your signature line. It's currently taking up 4.5 lines in the edit window, which is quite bulky. It also contains external links, which are very strongly discouraged. Please see relevant guidelines at WP:SIG and WP:SIG. Thanks, and happy editing :) --Quiddity· (talk) 18:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

huh?
I owe you a comment since long... but this page makes me confused. Is this an archive, or am I supposed to write messages to you here? // Habj 00:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. It also prevents the "User contributions" and "E-mail this user" links from showing up. Could I suggest that you put the normal talk page in its regular spot and use the 'move' function to archive your talk pages (which I presumme is the purpose behind the redirect to here)?

 * Hi! I stumbled across the article by accident, while doing some stub sorting, so I took the opportunity to fix other things that could be fixed... bio-stub is reserved for people only; films should be tagged with film-stub or any of the derived stub templates. In fact, I now see that such a template really exists: bio-film-stub - and I just edited the article accordingly... GregorB 12:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Equal Measures
Bugger. I'm sorry that it has been viewed that way, but I was just trying to add relevant details there. Equal Measures is a first season episode of Transformers: Beast Wars. I created it as part of an agrrementbetween myself and another user. Articles like Cheetor and Rattrap have large portions of material in them that are little more than episode summaries that arent really relevant to the character, so we thought it was best if we moved them to a list of Beast Wars episode synopses instead of having the useless info in the articles. Probably shouldn't do it that way in future. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.SMegatron 10:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I've just been trying to semi-wikify it and add details as to what it is, infobox, etc. And I get what you say about most people wanting to delete it(can't say I blame them), but its better than having random episode synopses cluttering up the page. Take a look at the differences between Optimus Primal and Cheetor for a good example. The idea was that as soon as we'd gotten that stuff into separate articles we'd clean up the articles to a higher quality. But thanks for your input and your patience.

Heh. No argument from me.SMegatron 10:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Episode IV
Hey, yeah I actually had submitted it for FA status. But their demands are too large at the moment for me to handle while dealing with my real life at the moment. So I withdrew the nomination. Their two large demands were that the article needs a through copyedit, more references, and perhaps more information. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could copyedit the article, as I usually have three great guys to do so. One is on a wikibreak, and one just won't message me back. Would you mind if I messaged you again towards the time that I'm going to nominate the article again for FA status, just to see if you can do another run-through (if I've added more info)? The Filmaker 13:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, before you do that. As a side favor, could you run over to this article Pilot (House episode) and copyedit it for me real quick. As you'll see it's very short and I'm working on it to be an FA as well (as we don't have any episode featured articles). Let me know if you have any ideas for more info I can give. The Filmaker 18:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, not to be a pest, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd run over that article on the House Pilot and spend the five-ten minutes to copyedit before you work on the Episode IV article as I'm done with the Pilot article right. Plus, the Pilot article won't take too long. :) The Filmaker 03:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense taken. But which article are you talking about, the Pilot, or the Episode IV article? If you're talking about the Pilot, than I can see this because I'm trying to find as much information as possible. I've spent hours trying to find the original ratings for the episode when it premiered but I keep finding the ratings for the Season Three premiere. Go figure. The Filmaker 14:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually IMDb is not paticularly reliable. I only use it occasionally for references. Still, no it does not carry ratings for the paticular episodes of television shows. The Filmaker 22:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * So what were you talking about with Pilot when you said you found quite a bit of information to be "omitted". I can't allow alot of the show's general information into the article as the article is specifically about the episode and not the show. This what I've been able to scrap up. Or was there something else you were thinking of when you mentioned this? The Filmaker 02:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyedit Episode IV
So dude, I just got done with Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope again. So would you mind copyediting for me before I submit it for FAC? Also, if you have any suggestions for the FAC before I submit, just post them in my talk page or the article's. Thanks. :) The Filmaker 04:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the only thing I think I overlooked. If you could insert this into the reaction section, between Ebert's quote and Pauline Kael's quote.


 * Vincent Canby called the film "the movie that's going to entertain a lot of contemporary folk who have a soft spot for the virtually ritualized manners of comic-book adventure."


 * Hey dude, are you working on the article? I only ask because you said you only had yesterday and the day before to work on it and since you simply uploaded my quote, it implied that you didn't have anything to change in the article (which, yes, I find to be highly unlikely). I'm just a little worried as I'm having a bit of trouble getting people to copyedit for me. So if you could just drop me a message and sooth my worries, I'd appreciate it. :) The Filmaker 02:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello once again, dude. Could you let me know how far you are from completion. I ask because another editor is willing to work on it now, but he's aware that you are working on it. If you're not too far, I can go ahead and let him start. If you're going to be done within the next day or two, I'll have him back off till then. Let me know, and thanks. :) The Filmaker 03:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, I'll let you know that I've got a few ancy people who want me to submit the article for FAC. So here's what I'm thinking, Deckiller is really interested in copyediting it. So I'm going to have him copyedit and then I'll submit it for FAC. While it's up for FAC, and when you are able to copyedit at the end of the week. You can copyedit it as well, based off the version that Deckiller has come up with. For your sake, I'll give you a day to send a message and disagree. But I hope you understand, I've been trying to get a copyedit done for close to a month now. And I've been waiting on yours for two weeks. I fully understand that you have your exams to worry about, which you should over this. But because of your exams, I'm going to have Deckiller copyedit and than you can copyedit over his while it's up for FAC. How does that sound? :) The Filmaker 13:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

warn test4 User talk:129.96.234.230 re Craig Charles
When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. -- Paleorthid 04:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

a few questions
Hey man, thanks for adopting me. How old are you btw? No offense, but your picture makes you look like you are in highschool. Nevertheless, you seem to know how to use the wikipedia format especially well, and I am struggling. A few questions came to mind:

First, how do I archive my talk page when it becomes time to do so?

Second, what software should i get to make editing easier?

Third, how do I upload pictures?

Fourth, how can I make a counter work to see how many edits I have? I have tried a few, but they failed (and now I dont even remember what they were called).

I have more questions but I don't want to burden you right now and perhaps I can figure some of it out on my own. Thanks for your help. PStrait 04:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Magicpoo
If I put a "nonsense articles" tag on their talk page, then the user must have created an article that appeared to be nonsensical. It's not showing up in that user's contribution history because it's been deleted. There's no easy way (that I know of) to determine what that deleted article was. I wasn't the only one who left a warning for Magicpoo on that date; note this warning message (erroneously left on the user page instead of the user talk page).

Hi, we have a heavy backload of cases at WP:MEDCAB and since you are on the mediator list I thought I would request your help. Thanks! --Ideogram 10:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The best way to learn is to jump right in, but if you want to co-mediate with someone else I'm sure anyone currently mediating a case would be willing. In particular Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-18 Singapore Changi Airport has already asked for a second mediator. --Ideogram 19:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for offering to help! Firstly, I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that sig using gets awfully long when dealing with subpages (as you can see at the mediation page), I don't suppose you could change it (perhaps if you want to keep it, just for the duration of the case? It'll be weird to see "The Duke of Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-18 Singapore Changi Airport" all the time heh). First thing is we'll have to notify the participants involved. Personally I like to ask them to give their views on the discussion section at the same time. – Chacor 02:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:ADOPT
Hi there,

As a current Adopter with the Adopt-a-User program there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention.

A new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you may have found useful as an Adopter, as well as recount any experiences that you think may help others. If you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

Also the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, on offering adoption please change the   template to    on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Furthermore numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Finally - thanks for all your hard work, keep it up - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 13:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
 * Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! Rintrah 09:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Why don't you lot get the hint?
I AM ON WIKIBREAK!

Don't expect me to reply to any messages left here.

Wikiproject Actors and Filmakers
Hey see my proposals at WikiProject Council/Proposals and the main WP Film and Biography talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actors and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them asthey need more focus -it would be a part of Biogrpahy and Film. If you are interested or know somebody who would be, please let them know and whether you think it is a good progession for the project or not. Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦  <font size="-4"><font color="Black">"I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Help with Shahbag
The article is inching towards an FA status and is being reviewed for a second time by peers. But, it still needs much copyedit (especially with citation template and dating web citations). A wholesomely coherent style of English and a completely cohesive flow of the article is mightily required at this point. I have also tagged the article for sopyedit, and have posted a request with WikiProject League of Copyeditors. Please, help. Aditya Kabir 16:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

hey adoptee
I need some help -- can you show me how to create a disambiguation page?

thanks p

Sheerness‎ FAC
Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sheerness‎ article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 17:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully you hang around here!
you disappeared dude! miss our conversations about sam :P it's ixusi5 at hotmail.

WP:MOTD needs your help!
You're listed as one of our contributors, but recent inactivity in the project has led us to be rather short on mottos. Currently, the schedule only has mottos up to August 12th, and that's only because I just spent half an hour or so filling them in! In order to make sure the project doesn't fold in, we need your help coming up with ideas for new mottos, commenting on active proposals, closing finished submissions, and your input on a new proposal to re-use some of our older mottos when we run out of new ones. Hundreds of editors see our mottos every day; if you can, please take some time out of your normal editing and drop by to help the project out. Thanks for your time. <em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:blue">Hers <em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:gold">fold  (t/a/c) 04:59, 31 July 2008 (UTC) '' P.S. - You're getting this because you're using User MOTD.

Your request
I've referred it to oversighters, who can do as you ask. I'm going to go ahead and remove your request from the various talk pages to which it was posted, to as not to draw more attention than necessary to this. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, seek oversight, and in the future ask one person instead of many if you can't find the answer. Andre (talk) 05:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * One easy way to do that is to email User:Oversight. Angela. 07:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Your signature
It's a cute trick, but it is rather confusing, and could be seen as impersonating. Do you think you could switch it off, please? --Dweller (talk) 09:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Doubt it. If consensus agrees, I will, but until then, there is no policy preventing me from doing this (as far as I am aware...) and so I shall not. If you want to organize a vote, feel free to have anyone in support of my changing my signature immediately below this message. Ta. The Duke of Hunterd 11:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't take it personally, but I completely agree with Dweller's criticism. Consider that your message on my (Tapatio's) talk page was signed "Duke of Tapatio." What am I supposed to think of that? Tapatio (talk) 15:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Consider it done. :) Hunterd is back! 20:00, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, no! I'm going to miss the cleverest signature around. It's nice of you to be so accommodating, though. Best wishes! GreenGourd (talk) 00:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Geophys
Regarding the difficulties applying geophysics to Australian archaeology you mentioned in Talk:Geophysical survey (archaeology): I realize that in most places GPR, Mag and Res. are the most common techniques. However, down here in Australia, geology significantly limits the use of these techniques. This is particularly true for where most of my work is done... in the state of Victoria. There's a lot of clay (GPR is out in most places), it's all volcanic rock (Mag is out), and with the current drought, there's very little water in the ground (Res is out)! I realize that this is an extreme irregularity, but the more experimental techniques (as you would call them) are basically what my career will rely on. Your situation is not irregular at all. In North America, we face a very great diversity of physical environments, and the conditions you mention would be typical of much of the western US. The same could be said for the Middle East. What we have found is that these dificult conditions can often be overcome with an adaptive approach based on a thorough understanding of the archaeological record and the physical environment, and of the way both are expressed in geophysical data. Often the results may not make a pretty picture, but can yield information relevant to archaeological questions. In other cases, it is probably best to accept that your archaeological questions might best be answered with non-geophysical approaches.

I would not categorically say that mag is out in areas of volcanic/igneous geology; in some cases I have had outstanding results. I have used resistance with at least intermittent success in very arid conditions. If you really can't use res, conductivity may work. How about susceptibility?

In any case, It is always a challenge to adapt to site-specific conditions, and it has taken decades here to adapt geophysical methods to environments and an archaeological record very different from those found in Britain and Europe. Tapatio (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Atlantis
The article Atlantis is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project. You are listed as "actively involved with this article". The article does not seem to meet current requirements for a good article. It has been put on hold for a week; if these issues are addressed satisfactorily within that period the article will be kept as a GA, otherwise it will be delisted.

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 (talk) 01:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure the Kinnoull Campus is named after the hill and not Kinnoull? I'm assuming the hill was named after the area of the city. - Dudesleeper / <font color="Orange"> Talk 23:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Motto of the Day contributions
This is a general message to get people to contribute as we are running out again so if you could please do. Please also see Wikipedia talk:Motto of the day. Note to anyone who reads this, WP:MOTD/N. Simply south (talk) 19:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and promotional edits
Please do not take this personally, but you should not be adding your name or the name of your company (or links to it) to any of our articles, please see WP:COI. The list of archaeologists is meant to be a list of notable archaeologists, not simply a list of all the people in the world who might call themselves an archaeologist. On a minor point, you might want to read WP:CREDENTIAL, I've also reverted the edit where you added 'Dr.' to Tony Robinson's article. Dougweller (talk) 16:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
