Chinatown, Oakland inuse?
Hi, you've placed an inuse template at 17:29. Just wondering when you will be done so I can also do some edits. Thanks Petersam 05:02, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I removed the inuse template to do some edits Petersam 07:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, I have no plans to edit that article. I saw your notice at the top of the article, and I replaced it with the inuse template. &rarr;  Jarlaxle  Artemis   00:22, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Latest news on image copyrights
FYI, there's been a change in the allowed uses of copyrighted images. "Non-commercial only" permission is no longer allowed, per Jimbo Wales himself. See Wikipedia Signpost/2005-05-23/Noncommercial images. I don't know how this will effect your attempt to get permission from the Wizards of the Coast. -Willmcw 06:32, May 25, 2005 (UTC)


 * I have already read Jimbo's statement regarding that issue. I think that is a very stupid change. What's wrong with Jimbo? If Wikipedia has the copyright owner's permission, then the images should be allowed. &rarr;  Jarlaxle  Artemis   00:22, May 26, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is a difficult policy because images are hard to "paraphrase." Well, I guess we could sketch. Or go take our own photographs, when that's possible (not easy to photograph an orc). So, did the Wizards ever even respond to your letter? I recently asked for a GFDL license from a group for a news-type photo, using one of these Boilerplate request for permission, and they gave unlimited permission. You might ask again. Maybe someone in the marketing department would see value. Cheers, -Willmcw 06:43, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)


 * No word from Wizards yet. They are a huge corporation, so it's not a surprise that they haven't answered yet (if they ever will). &rarr;  Jarlaxle  Artemis   22:20, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)


 * Do you mind if I try? -Willmcw 23:36, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * Not at all. &rarr;  Jarlaxle  Artemis   23:38, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Non-commercial only and By Permission Only Images to be deleted
Why are "non-commercial only" and "by permission only" images going to be deleted? If one has the copyright owner's permission to use the images, then one would think that using the images is okay. &rarr;  Jarlaxle Artemis   23:56, May 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * Our goal is to create a _free_ (in the sense of GNU) encyclopedia. Non-free images are contrary to that purpose.  When we accept non-free images, we make our work proprietary, that is to say, we change our work so that only Wikipedia may use it, no one else can use it.  This is contrary to our fundamental principles.


 * The Four Freedoms of free software apply to Wikipedia. People should have the right to copy our work.  They should have the right to distribute our work.  They should have the right to modify our work.  And they should have the right to distribute modified versions of our work.


 * There are a great many complexities and borderline cases associated with this. "Fair use" presents a challenging example, and I think that we rely far too heavily on fair use and that virtually all (yes, virtually all!) of the images which are currently tagged as 'fair use' should be deleted.  But this is a grey area and so at this time, I only urge people to be cautious about those.


 * But "by permission only" and "non-commercial only" are not grey areas. They are clearly non-free images which hurt our work.  The examples I gave on the mailing list show why -- we are in some cases using non-free images when it would be trivial to get a free image.  This means that people who want to use our work get a broken work.  This is bad.


 * --Jimbo Wales 13:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)


 * imho its hypocritical to allow fair use images which are of virtually no use to commercial reusers due to variations in copyright law and which can only be used in context whilst not allowing images with permission that is simarlarlly restrictive. I do agree about the non commercial and wiki(m|p)edia only cases though as theese prevent commercial reuse completely. Plugwash 20:27, 25 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I disagree. Let's rebel against the system! Screw copyright, lawyers, and all that other beaurocratic crap! We can move the servers to China, where they don't have copyright. &rarr;  Jarlaxle  Artemis   00:34, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

GM vs. Microsoft
Sorry to be a wet sock but that joke was circulating more than 5 years ago. Also, it really isn't relevant to be put on the main page talk page (so I removed it).

Bill Gates vs General Motors
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If General Motors had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):


 * 1)  For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
 * 2)  Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
 * 3)  Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
 * 4)  Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
 * 5)  Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would run on only five percent of the roads.
 * 6)  The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
 * 7)  The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
 * 8)  Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
 * 9)  Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
 * 10)  You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Please share this with your friends who love -- but sometimes hate -- their computers.

From the Bank of Wikipedia. Your account is opened
I opened your account. Our bank applied Rule 3, and now you have 166.67 initial coins. You can use these coins as a medium of exchange here in wikipedia. For example, you can ask another wikipedian to make specific contributions, deletions, or cast votes for a subject, or pay him with your money for whatever reason. Its not bank's job to punish you in case your transactions are against wikipedia policy. But have in mind that if you are doing illegal transactions, you may be punished by admins. The bank is going to pay you 2 coins for each person you are going to introduce to the Bank.

Whatever transactions you are doing with other wikipedians, please do them in User_talk:Bank_of_Wikipedia. The trusted employees of the bank are going to confirm the validity of your transactions, and they are going to copy them (after a short delay) to your official account that resides in User:Bank_of_Wikipedia userpage.

Huitzilopochtli
I wish to coment your changes on the article about Huitzilopochtli. The festivity of huitzilopochtli was not 24 days of blood. And aztec month has 24 days, and the month was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli. But festivities did not last the whole month. There were only 18 festivities around the year and sacrifices were made only on those festivities. Please check the article aobut aztecs

Also, you are changing the legend of the fifth sun, Nanahuatzin was the solar god who dare to throw himself in the fire, and Tecciztecatl was the lunar god. This legend is centuries older than Huitzilopochtli. please check the entry of Nanauatzin in the wikipedia.

Nanahuatzin 00:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't know about the legend of the fifth sun, but Huitzilopochtli's festival was one of twenty-five days of a blood orgy with hearts and blood of prisoners dumped on his altar (or so says this link). &rarr; <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle  Artemis   00:24, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)


 * Hello.


 * The aztecs believed we are in the fifht creation, :


 * The Maya and the Aztecs both believed they were the people of the fifth sun. One Aztec version, reported by Miguel León-Portilla, tells that this sun was created in Teotihuacan. When all was still dark, the gods gathered there and asked who would take it upon himself to make light, to make days. Two gods offered themselves: Tecuziztécatl and Nanahuatzin. They offered sacrifices, but Tecuziztécatl was proud and made empty, showy offerings, while the other was more devout. When the time came for the gods to throw themselves into the fire, Tecuziztécatl held back and it was Nanahuatzin who became the sun. Tecuziztécatl was then shamed and threw himself on the fire second, becoming the moon. 
 * http://zedilloworld.presidencia.gob.mx/PAGES/culture/note_milenio.html


 * Huitzilopochtli is not mentioned in this legend, wich was recopilated directly from aztec sources (Florentine codex)... where did you take the version your put.?


 * This link http://www.scns.com/earthen/other/seanachaidh/godaztec.html, does not report where it took their info, although it seems it was taken from Prescot, which is not very acurate. The info you erased comes from people like [Juan Bautista de Pomar].

I sugest to read the info about sacrifices in the article about [aztec]s.

Okay. You can re-add the information again if you want to. &rarr; <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle Artemis   23:00, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Submission (Islam)
Hey, you put Submission (Islam) up for speedy deletion as patent nonsense... well, although I'm not sure that's the best title... it isn't exactly nonesense... there is a view purported by Rashad Khalifa (the 19 code thing which I think is nonesense but... I wouldn't say it doesn't deserve an article) that is all about Qur'an only Islam... this has also spawned movements (whatever their size may be...) that take the same basic interpretations of the Qur'an but don't accept the 19 code thing... I think they do deserve some recognition on wikipedia (under some article name) but... either way if you want it delete I think you should try VfD or help find a better name for the article... gren 15:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Speedying
Hello. I'm puzzled by this addition of the speedy delete tag. Of course, the article is wretched. Arguably, the subject is not notable (etc. etc.).

Good job in finding that Effie M. Morrissey is a copyright violation. But "copyvio" is in fact not a criterion for speedy deletion. The best course of action when you spot it is to replace the page with a -tag, then bring the article to WP:CP. This gives the poster a chance to explain him or herself (perhaps the poster is the copyright holder, or maybe the source is public domain). Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:42, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the Chakmakjian article's redirect.

I guess it's best that a redirect exist rather than just deleting the incorrect spelling, so that it becomes clear through the redirect that the old spelling ("Haroutiun Vaness Chakmakjian") is incorrect.—Badagnani 09:42, June 24, 2005 (UTC)

JarlaxleArtemis, thank you for welcoming me, but I would have thought it was obvious that I am a sockpuppet. :) (Er...a good sockpuppet.) 70.20.216.117 29 June 2005 02:24 (UTC)

Helping
Thanks for helping out on the vandalism patrol. I should alert you to a complex situation involving several editors and several articles. user:68.10.35.153/user:Baxter2 camre through and added a large amount of favorable info to Bill White (activist), along with quite a bit of libellous info about White's enemies, including former partners and an ex-girlfriend. There is a reasonable suspicion that the editor is Bill White himself, though he has denied this. More recently, a couple of the subjects of these articles have become active and are removing some of the info that "Baxter2" added. User:24.94.181.211 is one of those people, self-identified as Chuck Munson. So the rest of us are witnesses or unwilling participants in a personal squabble which requires some care. In the matter of the Tad Kepley article there seems to be a lot of malicious gossip, so I didn't object when the usually-overzealous User:24.94.181.211 deleted most of it. If you'd like to be on top of this I'd suggest you glance over the talk:Bill White (activist) page, which has some of the back-story. Thanks again for the maintenance.

Post-leftism
Please stop reverting the post-leftism entry to false information about post-leftism. I know post-leftists and am very familiar with contemporary anarchism. This entry is inaccurate.—User:24.94.181.211 06:20, June 29, 2005 (UTC)


 * Okay. Please stop blanking discussion pages, though. <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> ‡  <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle   June 29, 2005 06:23 (UTC)

I'll stop blanking discussion pages when people hostile to the subject stop posting slander, misinformation, and information intended to stalk and intimidate the subject. BTW, you've reached a new low when you reverted an edit that I made based on my involvement as a member of the collective and called my edit "vandalism." That's priceless. I'm a member of that group so I happen to be in a position to know the *facts* about the history of that group.

List of subatomic particles
Jeremy -

I am not interested in doing an edit war with you. However, that page is redundent. I would appreciate talking about it with on talk:list of subatomic particles. If posible, I would like this issue to be resolved amicably.

Also, I ask that if you do revert the article again that you at least preserve my edit of the Category:Physics lists link. I have made it so that the entries in that category beginning with "List of" are sorted based on the rest of their names. It is that edit that places the article under "S" (for subatomic ...) instead of "L" (for List ...). --EMS | Talk 02:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Drow eye colour in Drizzt Do'Urden
Hey JA, are you sure that the normal drow eye colour is red in the visual spectrum? I thought their eyes only glowed red in the dark (when using infravision). I haven't seen any other indications of typical drow eye colour. Cheers, --Deathphoenix 20:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Their eyes are normally red in the visual spectrum. They only glow, however, when using infravision. (When they glow, their eyes are still red of course.) That is how R.A. Salvatore depicts them, anyway. I'm not sure if all authors do. <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> ‡  <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle   20:56, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

66.142.160.221
Hey Jarlaxle, I saw you reply to that vandal on his talk page. I'm the person he's been bothering. Do you know how I can get him blocked? Or, if you're an admin yourself, would you mind blocking him? Thanks, Jaxl 22:36, 14 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm not an admin. You can report him at Vandalism in progress, and an admin will probably block him for you. <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> ‡  <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle   00:01, July 15, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Jtdirl somehow found out about him and blocked him after I asked you. Thanks for the info, though; I'll need it for future reference. Best, Jaxl 00:06, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Geomontan
Saw that you made an edit cleaning up the all caps and sorting the stub. Do you happen to know anything about this topic? When I first saw it I thought it was a hoax but now suspect it is part of some sort of game. There is a reference too it by another article, Maxiums, created by the same user today. Google doesn't produce anything on both of these so I am still a little worried about them. Tobycat 00:26, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Vajdahunyad
I don't know what source you used for this but the Castle of Vajdahunyad that is pictured here was most certainly in Budapest, Hungary when I took that photo... -- Francs2000 | Talk 20:24, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Emoticon
I appreciate that you are interested, by why exactly did you mass-revert my changes? There are probably individual cases that are arguable, but that article has long been an add-your-personal-favorite playground. If the lists are too exhaustive then they cease to be illustrative examples and begin to get in the way.

There has been some discussion of this on the talk page, but mostly it has just been assumed that we are listing representative examples, not trying to document everything there is. I've been pruning this article periodically for months now - it's just that I've been away and as far as I can tell it hasn't been kept up in my absesnse. There are a lot of drive-by additions that aren't necessary and really are a sort of vanity (i.e. it's my favorite that I made up). -Aranel ("<font color="#ba0000"> Sarah ") 21:40, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I put back the only thing that you contributed. All your other edits were just taking items out of the article. <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> ‡  <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> Jarlaxle   22:06, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Er, yes. And I thought about it carefully and I think I had good reason for removing them. If you disagree, can we at least talk about it? -Aranel ("<font color="#ba0000"> Sarah ") 22:08, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Controversy
It is not a matter of controversy. Maybe if the guy has said that he was pope it might be. But he explicitly said he wasn't, and accepted the election of 4 popes from 1958, something he would not have done if he was pope. It is just a case of a few ultra-exteme fringe Catholics making up something that the man in the centre of it said was wrong. <font color="#006666">Fear <font color="#FF6600">ÉIREANN \<sup style="color:blue;">(caint) 22:22, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Narfell
Hello,

I don't understand why you removed some informations. Lady of Poison is a novel about Narfell, referenced as well on Wizards' forums. For the rest, I'm trying to create a consistent layout. See Guidelines for description. Reply to David Latapie 15:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Wow, I just see Wikipedia is being comment-spam"ed (your page by Gong Bank) :-(
 * Regarding Narfell, the header had been suggested by a person who put a lot of templates on the pages. See here for details. I would welcome a template, if it is necessary (and, according to the amount and detail of the information about FR, that may prove useful).

By the way, I also put again online some of the old material abot Lady of Poison and the rest, for the purpose of the guidelines Reply to David Latapie 20:09, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh hey sorry about that! I didn't realise. That was back when I was on a mad rampage to set a standard for the Final Fantasy X character articles. Don't take it personally, I certainly didn't mean it that way eh! — <font face=Verdana>Cua HL  21:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

FFX character?
Not to nag, but was that all really necessary? Do you really need to be the author of the pictures? I'm sorry that I uploaded a similar picture to the one you used, but I don't think you realise that changing a template changes all the pages it uses. If you don't know how to use templates, just ask me to fix it and I could add an optional image line or something useful. — <font face=Verdana>Cua HL  22:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC) Yeah, if anything the images are quite an improvement. But hey, like I said, it might actually be an idea to change the template some so we don't have to mess around with filenames (I didn't take that into account when I made the template I guess) — <font face=Verdana>Cua HL  22:50, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
