Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I don't know if you've seen it, but I did reply on the talk page, and again I'd like to apologize if you saw my questioning the notability policy as me questioning you, it wasn't. I learned something new from a new situation I'd never seen before, and I hope you have no hard feelings. Ariel ♥ Gold 04:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

"Now, will all categories, such as Category:Cities in Myanmar also need to be renamed?" Probably but there are other Wikipedians who worry and specialise in categories (see Categories for discussion). --Philip Baird Shearer 15:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Category:Burmese democracy activists
Hello, I'm really glad to see that more editors are making use of Category:Burmese democracy activists (which I recently created). I almost fell out of my chair, though, when I saw that it had jumped up to 37 pages since the last time I checked, a day or two ago. One glance was enough to see that there was a big problem, because there are now more than a dozen talk pages listed (talk pages should never be in regular categories), as well as a number of other pages that don't belong there either. I immediately surmised that it was probably the work of one person, and sure enough... I quickly confirmed that the first few articles I checked were all the work of the same person. (That would be you... )

I soon discovered one major source of the problem: Template:User burfreedemo, which you created and then added to all those article talk pages (it's on some User Pages, too). The template includes within it the code for Category:Burmese democracy activists, which then gets incorporated into the pages the template is posted on. I didn't want to mess with your work, so I will leave it to you to take care of that problem.

I also went through all of the newly added articles and found a number that just don't belong in the category -- which should be limited to articles that are actually about Burmese democracy activists. So Burma Campaign UK, Global Day of Action for Burma, and National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma are all right on target. But I'm afraid AVAAZ.org, International reaction to the 2007 Burmese anti-government protests, and Persecution of Muslims in Myanmar, though related, fall outside the scope of the category. I'm going to remove those shortly, so I think all you need to work on is the User template.

Well, I guess this all goes to show how careful you have to be with categories. I find that it often helps to look at what else is already in a category and compare that with the article I'm planning to add. (Of course, there are some categories that are a big mess for one reason or another.) I gave some thought to adding Buddhist Peace Fellowship to this category, but it didn't really make sense; on the other hand, I did find a bunch of other cats to put it in. Cgingold 03:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I took a look inside the template, and I've now "disabled" the Category code. If you look at the bottom you'll see there are two lines, one started with " Category" and the other started with " [[Category". I changed both by adding a colon ":" in front of the word "Category" -- that's what keeps the page the template is on from being added into the category. I think the real issue is that it never made sense to put the template itself into [[:Category:Burmese democracy activists. What you should do is find the correct Category for the template. I know there are categories that are used for these Userbox templates; you can start at Category:Templates, which is the parent category for all templates, and then look through the subcats until you find what you're looking for. Just be sure to remove the colons when you insert the new category. Best, Cgingold 11:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Fox family of Falmouth
Hi, I see you have placed a "notability" tag on this article, and I am puzzled by this, as the article appears to me to amply establish the family's notability. It is well referenced to reliable sources, including the Dictionary of National Biography, and well wikified to illustrate the family's rôle in the intellectual and business world. Perhaps you could explain your tagging of the article at its talk page? Thank you. DuncanHill 21:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Schools in Colorado Springs
Hi Chris, sorry we couldn't reach agreement at CfD, but I was pleased to say that you had created Category:Education in Colorado Springs. However, I saw that the third-level institutions were still in Category:Schools in Colorado Springs, so I have edited Template:Colorado Springs Schools to remove that category from it.

Since there was no consensus to delete Category:Schools in Colorado Springs, it would still make sense to rename it to Category:High schools in Colorado Springs and restrict it to the high schools. Since it currently includes middle schools, it shouldn't be subcat of unless it is restricted to High Schools.

On the same grounds, I have removed Category:Education in Denver from Category:High schools in Colorado: the third-level institutions in that category should not be categorised as high schools. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Worldcrest1957sepia.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Worldcrest1957sepia.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

I have tagged Image:Worldcrest1957sepia.jpg as orphaned fairuse. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article.

Fair use rationale for Image:Rhodesiancoatofarms.GIF
Image:Rhodesiancoatofarms.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image:Canada Guides no label.svg
Is there any other way to add more articles to the free rationale without having to add more templates to the image page? I know there are quite a few more that I'll have to fix to keep this from coming up (and I don't understand how those haven't been caught by the bot), but I thought it would be easier to do this after a while has passed so I can make sure I get everything right. For instance, Image:Rovers Australia.svg was uploaded a few days before Image:Canada Guides no label.svg, and is also displayed in several articles, but the bot hasn't caught that one. -- Kaboom88 23:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

your removal of my previous comment
Ref: my prior comment While you have pretty much free reign over your userspace (including removing comments for whatever reason you want, or none at all), removing comments destroys your talk page as a record. In this case since I removed a tag you placed because you had provided no reasoning (and it wasn't self-evident to me) the situation called not only for me to leave comments on the articles' talk pages, but a comment for you, informing you why the tags were removed and what you needed to do. But someone looking to see if I did do such a thing would see no comment in the appropriate time frame. They'd have to either go into your history (which is daunting after a while), or go to my edit history (same problem). You never know when you'll need something and your record may become important to you (or someone else). One thing you might want to consider is editing your talk page to provide more of a record. Posting a comment with a link to the removed comment saying "removed x, x, x," or having text that says, removed: (person) left comment about (thing) in (article). You may want to take some ideas from talk pages that do such editing or from WP:REFACTOR.

In re your removal and your comment, I'm a little confused. The beginning is abrupt (possibly rude) that's my fault for restructuring the comment. Everything else.... I'm afraid it's a miscommunication I don't see. If you think that I'm doing something wrong, or am rude, etc., I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me. I attempted to communicate with you and it didn't work well. That's something to fix. You can e-mail me through Wikipedia, which is great since I'm not logging in often these days. If I mess up, tell me! I like to learn from my mistakes. If you thought I was rude, tell me where you thought I failed, what you think I can do to fix it, and the next time, hopefully I'll do better.

Nobody's "counting on you" to do anything, nobody asked you even to put your request here, but since you did, the least you could do is keep a civil tongue in your head while you're here. These Graphic Lab folks do an awful lot of weird requests for a lot of obscure articles, some of which may get a dozen reads a year, as volunteers, and while you may not have thanks for them, they don't need your pedantry. Ilmari's very clear, legible chart is a far improvement over what there was, and took him a great deal of time. If it's not what you seek, explain what you do seek without whining.

Scouting in Kazakhstan
As expected, the Organization of the Scout Movement of Kazakhstan will be admitted to WOSM membership. The WOSM Circular N° 29/2007 contains some informations on the organization that could be used in the article. --jergen —Preceding comment was added at 22:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Three Revert Rule Violation: List of high schools in Colorado
This message is to notify you that you have violated the Wikipedia Three Revert Rule - WP:3RR - and that all further edits should be discussed on the :talk page first. A further violation will be posted on the administrator's noticeboard. Thank you. - Watkinsian 22:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

the above is retaliatory garbage by User:watkinsian
To administrators, should this come up-I posted at watkinsian's talkpage, warning him of a 3RR violation, at which point he placed a retaliatory 3RR posting at my own talkpage. watkinsian has been making edits on this article, most of which may be justified, and is stubbornly sticking to one that is not. His order summary is that unconstructive, bossy editors blow, his entire talkpage here is fraught with conflict and useless edits others have had to revert; I'm not the only one apparently that thinks he is unfamiliar with what an encyclopedia is.

His edit history shows a propensity to plaster articles with cumbersome or ugly (and in one article, openly racist) text-for this edit he has added verbose wording and readded poor edits and redlinks. The article clearly states His edits I reverted are these, whether they are his or someone else's, yet he keeps reverting to this variant:

*Eaglecrest High School, unincorporated area near Aurora and Centennial
 * Line 16:


 * which I reverted as being unencyclopedic and unnecessary

*[[north High School Denver
 * Line 62:


 * which needs no comment, it is clearly unwikilike

and
 * Line 106:

=== Hinsdale County===
 * Lake City Community High School, Lake City


 * which is counter to the clearly stated and repeated mandate of this list, External links, redlinks, and non article entries will be removed per Lists (stand-alone lists)."

Should an admin be necessary in this matter, I would submit that these edits should be disallowed as they bring down the encyclopedic character of the pre-existing list. Chris 03:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Adding gaba to aeon
Thanks for the note. I don't mind raising the question of why that page differs from all the rest... but I'd prefer if someone else made that change since I am a contracted instructor... I thought it might be a conflict of interest. --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 16:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Interest on an article in the future
Since I noticed that you work with Japan-based articles, would you be interested in working on the Spiral, which is the bobsleigh and luge track used for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano? I ask this because you might be able to get more information on this than when I do. It is part of a bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton project I have been working on since mid-April of this year (Though I am taking a breather right now until the first of 2008 because of other personal issues, most notably finishing a test for the American Society for Quality Certified Quality Auditor exam which I took on December 1.). The tracks are the only thing I have left to do on this project. Any interest? Chris (talk) 13:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Graphic Lab/Images to improve
Re User_talk:Slashme:

Hi Chris,

I guess the task looks a bit daunting: A world map with a multi-point explanation ;-) Anyway, that's why I gave it a miss. I guess someone will get around to it sometime, maybe even me. On closer inspection it doesn't really seem like such a hard task. --Slashme (talk) 09:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * If I were you, I would create a mockup of what you want the end result to be (something really basic) move it to the bottom of the page and say a mockup has been drawn to ease the process. Hope it helps > Rugby471 talk &#9876; 17:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hawaii Five-O (album)
Question: Why should WikiProject Hawaii work on Hawaii Five-O (album)? Perhaps you know more about the album than I do, but I don't see why it should be tagged. I removed it, but if you feel strongly about it, feel free to add it back. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 00:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Bad faith edits
Would you care to explain which of my edits you consider vandalism? The article on Abdullah O. Nasseef‎ does not meet Wikiepdia's guidelines on notability of academics, so suggesting its deletion is perfectly reasonable. If Nasseef is notable, then adding citations to support his is a much better course than biting other editors. By the way, logged in editors are less anonymous than IP editors, and Wikipedia explicitly supports the use of IPs to edit from. Happy holidays, 69.86.55.20 (talk) 14:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguating Ukrainian in Scouting in displaced persons camps
OK, so you don't like my edits to Scouting in displaced persons camps. What do you want to do? If you won't let me do it, will you please get rid of those links to Ukrainian in some way that is acceptable to you? Ntsimp (talk) 14:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Autoarchiving of graphics lab images
Hi Chris,

Yes, as I understand it, when a picture is marked "done" it will be archived. I think this is supposed to happen approximately monthly, but I'm not quite sure how or by whom. --Slashme (talk) 14:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Lead(II) nitrate, back to FA?
Hi, Chris, I've copy-edited the lead(II) nitrate article from the Chemicals wikiproject, after it was recentely demoted from its FA-status. Last time around, you contributed to the voting process.
