Farewell
JdH has left Wikipedia for good. Some of the reasons why you can find here here, here, and here, and there many more instances. At this point in time I can't afford to spend time and effort to go through yet another Mediation cycle. Good luck to all of you, JdH 14:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
Thanks for spotting my mistake with AWB. I'll be more careful in future. Edward (talk) 07:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Paul Ehrenfest
Please stop adding inappropriate categories to Paul Ehrenfest. This article is about a scientist, and is intended to highlight Ehrenfest's scientific accomplishments. It is not about murder, suicide, and all that; it does not discuss it. I have spent a lot of time and effort to bring this article up to wikipedia standards, and I do not want it so see it corrupted by someone whose seems to have some kind of obsession with murder/suicide. Thank you for your cooperation, JdH (talk) 16:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It does "discuss it": "Having made arrangements for the care of his other children, he first shot his younger son Wassik, who had Down syndrome, then killed himself." See my comments on the talk page there. And WP:OWN, while you're at it. Your repeated removal of valid categories could be viewed as disruptive editing; I suggest you stop.

 * On more reason to quit. If you go back to the history of that article you will see that I practically wrote it all by myself. And now you accuse me of "disruptive editing"? It is unreal JdH (talk) 15:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Frits Zernike.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Frits Zernike.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Dirk Coster.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dirk Coster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:02, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Princess Henrietta of England
Going there.

Am trying in my spare time to edit the article & find myself stuck on this trivia-filled section. After spending an hour reading through it last night, I gave up & logged out.

Justus Velsius
Concerning the link on Born again (Christianity): This time it was removed because honestly I couldn't think of a way to describe it; I was confused when I tried reading the article again to get an idea what it was he taught. I gather you have done a lot of work on the Justus Velsius article, so perhaps I could ask you something: it seems the only place new birth is talked about in the Justus Velsius article is in the theology section, which doesn't have any sources as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem to be a major theme in that article... was it really that prominent a part of his theology? Did he influence later proponents of the idea? I'm just trying to figure out how significant the connection is...

Also, what is meant by justification through new birth, rather than forgiveness? Since there aren't references in that section, I can't find out... a statement like that needs some explanation and refs as well. Since you're working on that article, would you mind improving that section? (Of course, Christianity-related articles in general have issues with sources... much to my chagrin. Hope you don't feel singled out in that regard, especially since you've been working hard to source the rest of Justus Velsius)

If he was indeed a major forerunner of this idea, then he should not be in the See Also link, he should be in a new history section for Born again (Christianity), which you would be welcome to contribute to. He should also perhaps be mentioned in Justification (theology), since it seems like his stance on it would be interesting... which is why I hope you'll improve that theology section so I can understand what he meant by that :) - Thanks,

Category:Images from Pitts Theology Library Digital Image Archive
Hello. I see that you've restored the copyright claims on Category:Images from Pitts Theology Library Digital Image Archive. They were removed because these claims are meaningless. Indeed, the precedent of Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. establishes rather clearly that these images are in the public domain no matter how much effort the Library had to put in producing them. It's quite ok to restore some text that credits the library for producing these images but the current explanation is misleading and should be removed.

Windcatchers
I've largely rewritten the article at Windcatcher, which I noticed you took an interest in and commented upon extensively on the talk page. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me whether it is now clear. I know the article is still unbalanced and poorly-sourced, but is the mechanism comprehensibly explained?
