User talk:KeyStroke

 Attention, all who edit Wikipedia: 

I have become disgusted with the predominantly Liberal POV of the "community" of those who actively edit and maintain Wikipedia. Any Conservative (such as myself) who attempts to conteract this POV and make Wikipedia more neutral and therefore more trustworthy are considered an attack on the Liberal majority. (Case in point: trying to remove porn pics from articles, see below.)

I, like a growing number of people, now consider Wikipedia to be not trustworthy as a reference. Therefore my activity on this site has drasticly been reduced as I see no point in trying anymore.

I have edited my user page, here, to preserve some entries that may be valuable if, and when, a more fair and responsible approach to editing articles is implemented.

KeyStroke 12:28, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Due to the announcement of the potential development of the Image filter [] I will reconsider my position regarding my activity on Wikipedia. I am glad to see that some common sense is stqarting to prevail.

IDEF
Hello KeyStroke. I hope I didn't upset you too much. Could you please take a look at IDEF? Your expertise would probably be invaluable there. -- Jan Hidders 11:38, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Please note some conventions and see Wikipedia's style manual: (1) Begin an article with a sentence, not a dictionary-style definition. (2) Don't gratuitously capitalize words in article titles (I moved data management). (3) Highlight the title word or title phrase at its first appearance, like this. Thanks.

Gap Creationism
Excellent addition to "Gap Creationism".

Thumb twiddling
Thanks for the thumb twiddling article, it made me smile. I love it when snarky VFD commentary results in new and interesting articles. I was thinking of writing the article myself. I'm glad you beat me to the punch; you did a great job of it. • Benc • 08:31, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Tithe
Good work. Now someone (not necessarily you) should prune the external links. I can't do it, unfortunately. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 22:42, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

Data Management
Sounds like a good project, and wiki badly needs more articles on it. Bye for now, --ShaunMacPherson 01:36, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Vote
A word of advice - (you should find this useful in life) saying that a wonans tits are small is almost as bad as saying her ass is big! Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 05:39, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've added an end date of 1 month to you vote on the clitoris pic. In my experience, if you don't have an end date, these things drag on for ever, and nothing gets settled. A month is plently long enough IMO for all interested parties to express an opinion but feel free to change it if you disagree.Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 05:28, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * I returned because I seen you messages on my 'talk page.' thanks for you support key stroke.--198 23:46, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Thank you Keystroke for defending me, people like Irate are stating I'm crazy only because I want is a small disclaimer.--198 23:23, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Revisiting clitoris
Are you still active? If you are, would you mind visiting 198's talk page and letting me know whether you'd be interested in working towards a resolution of the issue of the image there? Dr Zen 05:42, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Need viewpoints like yours
I agree that Wikipedia has a disproportionate number of liberals who edit; however, it is important that all views are represented. Please reconsider staying (contrary to your comment on Jimbo's talk page). Trödel| talk 23:28, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I concur you are a really good user Keystroke...It's a shame you let a bunch of Liberals push you around :( --198 03:19, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Distributed data store
I saw this was linked as one of your interests. Just wanted to drop a line that I've been working on Distributed data store a bit and that I've added to Talk:Distributed data store some questions about the origin of the term. anthony 11:54, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

JM copyvio
KeyStroke- I've just been trying to clean the POV out of Joyce Meyer, but then realized the page was all originally copied straight from her official website. Did you get permission to do this? If so, note it on the page. I've slapped a big copyvio on there in the meantime. --Staecker 15:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for starting what will hopefully become the data management Wikiproject (Category_talk:Data_management).

Wikipedia certainly does have imperfections. I hope you continue to assume good faith and, at least occasionally, fix mistakes. There's certainly far too many for me to correct by myself :-). --DavidCary 02:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

John Zachman
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the John Zachman article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Monty Hall problem
Hi - Thanks for admitting your error at talk:Monty Hall problem. I apologize if I came across as arrogant or condescending (neither of which was my intent). Reading your talk page I gather you haven't had an entirely satisfactory experience as a Wikipedia editor. I hope this experience does not further disillusion you. I think Hydnjo's suggestion to watch this page and help others come to an understanding of it might be a good one. If you'd like to talk about this (or anything else) please don't hesitate to contact me. -- Rick Block (talk) 05:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikis for witnessing
I found your beliefs page enlightening. I'm sorry that you've been so frustrated with the lack of tolerance on your opinions. I, too, have been studying the various Christian wikis and even developed a chart of the better ones. Finding a site that is innovative, tolerant, and active has been a challenge, but I do considerate it a Christian witnessing challenge, both with other believers as well as non-believers! Did you end up contributing to Wikibooks Christian Theology at all? (I'm watching this page, so you can reply here.) --J. J. 15:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have gotten rusty on editing wiki's and have done very little editing since I decided to cease being an active member. KeyStroke 05:35, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Provocitive_sexual_organs.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Provocitive_sexual_organs.jpg, has been listed at. 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. Sherool (talk) 16:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sprint nextel true logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sprint nextel true logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fishburne morpheus matrixrevolutions.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fishburne morpheus matrixrevolutions.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:This was your life Chick Tract.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:This was your life Chick Tract.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.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 14:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thumb twiddling
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Thumb twiddling, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No sources for almost two years

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
