Hi Lbbzman, I moved your copyright note to User:Williamo1 to the talk page. It's no big deal, but that way it shows up as a new message when Williamo checks in. Cheers. --Bookandcoffee 03:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks... Good catch. just noticed that. Lbbzman 03:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, thanks for formatting the Tony Guida article. I was planning to do the editing myself but was sidetracked by applications and other schoolwork. Thank you for taking the time to edit it! Until later. --Thistheman 01:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Just stole your travel Box
I love that travel box. Just wanted you to have the satisfaction knowing that another person has stolen it :-) Dothivalla 04:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Heh, thanks for the Barnstar. :-) --J. Nguyen 23:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, thanks for correcting my error. The reason I got third is because of this article "Amarillo was the first city in Texas and the third in United States to install the council/manager form of government, Ward said." I don't know what to believe but I guess leave as fifth. --J. Nguyen 03:58, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'll do some more digging to see if I can find any other sources. You'd think that Ward, as the former city manager, would know. Lbbzman 14:00, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

"Cleanup" of heading style
You just edited the Ruth Riley article to remove the spaces below the headings. According to the MoS, "Spaces above and below headings are completely optional." Therefore, changing the article from one optional style to another serves no purpose. It actually has a negative effect, in that someone who's watching the article (in this instance, me) has to go through the numerous red paragraphs in the edit to see whether anything else was changed.

By the way, my personal preference is to put the space after the heading because, to my eye, it makes editing easier by visually separating the heading from the text. There seems to be enough diversity of opinion on that point that there's no reason to impose a uniform standard either way, though. JamesMLane t c 13:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * JamesMLane, thanks for the heads up. I went through and edited several of these articles to remove the bold formatting of an external link that another user had placed there, and in doing so, I chose to have AWB make the spacing changes you mentioned. In the future, I'll leave that box unchecked. Thanks again, Lbbzman 14:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your informative response. I'm unfamiliar with AWB.  From what you say, I gather that it provides a ready option for its users to add or delete these spaces.  If so, it seems to be designed in such a way as to facilitate edits that violate the MoS.  I'm adding my thoughts to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser, where I discover with pleasure that I'm not a lone crackpot on this issue.  :) JamesMLane t c 21:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Gotchi entry at Wikpedia
Could someone please explain to this author of the Wikipedia entry for 'Gotchi' why Wikipedia wizards are against neologisms?

The terms Wiki, Wikipedia, Wikipedians are all neologisms. To delete Gotchi would 'hoist Wikipedia by its own petard.' Look that up your Funk and Wagnells. Sometimes words are born. Gotchi is one. And it is useful and growing in usage.

Please let Gotchis live.

Talk page vandalism

 * Hi, DaMainMan. Regarding the comment you left on my talk page, I'm sorry for the confusion. It was not my intent to label you a "vandal." Instead, I placed the "thank you for self-reverting" comment on your page. It appeared that you had made a large number of edits to the Avery Johnson page, and then had reverted them back. The purpose of my message was to encourage you to use the sandbox if you were experimenting with making changes.


 * I regret your interpretation of my message as vandalism. I would encourage you in the future to use the sandbox and/or preview functionality, as other editors are likely to place similar tags on your user page if they see similar activity. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reply here or on your talk page. Cheers, Lbbzman 20:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, let bygones be bygones. The reason I added that section back was a) I thought it was a notable and interesting edit (this is the main reason for editing anything in Wikipedia), and b) I thought some strong-arm tactics were used in the removal of said edit by Downwards in the edit summary. All too often, perfectly legitimate edits are called out by the "opposition" as vandalism. It seemed to me you were in that same camp. However, unfortunately now, I refuse to even touch that page as it seems infested with trolling. DaMainMan 21:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Just saw your edit on ABC Sports. Don't want to come off as a stalker or anything, but are you sure it's not officially the Big XII conference?--Attitude2000 03:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Yes, it is officially the Big 12 conference per The Big 12 Football Media Guide, page 3. I need to create a user page that explains this, as it is a pet project of mine. Thanks for the inquiry and not just blindly reverting. Cheers, Lbbzman 16:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Texas Tech University
Thanks for the heads up, but 3RR no longer applies. This user is now considered a vandal for persistently changing the article in violation of the talk page agreement, for declaring war on me on the same talk page (check the history), for vandalizing my user page (again, check history), and they have no moved on to vandalizing other Texas schools (see history at University of Texas at Austin). Please revert them on site. They are difficult to block because they are using dynamic IP addresses. Thanks, Johntex\talk 01:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:SI Cover 19960722.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SI Cover 19960722.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Mosmof 09:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Magazine covers/replaceable fair use
I wanted to let you know that the magazine tag you've used for a couple of uploaded image only applies when you're using the image to describe the magazine.

Dax-Ur
You redirected this page to Jax-Ur but I didn't see anything in that article about why.

I did notice, after reading something about Dax-Ur on The CW's official Smallville message boards, that the character did not have his own article. Obviously, there's not enough information for the Dax-Ur of Smallville doesn't justify an article, so putting him with the other Dax-Urs is the only solution. But it's not clear why Jax-Ur and Dax-Ur are the same. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I redirected Dax-Ur to Jax-Ur because of the information found at Jax-Ur. It seemed like the best thing to do at the time, but to be honest, I haven't kept up with Superman/Smallville pages in a while, so there may be a better option than redirecting. Feel free to edit as you deem appropriate. Cheers, Lbbzman (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm confused. I just put the Dax-Ur information there last week, and someone else saw it and added to it.


 * I put everything I know there. The truth is, my memory is kind of hazy, so I got it all from other Wikipedia articles, and maybe one or two details from that message board, which of course is not an acceptable source. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:40, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jax-Ur&oldid=188646399. This is a version of Jax-Ur from February 2008. There isn't the Smallville section, but Dax-Ur is mentioned on that page. If it disappeared between February 2008 and when you made the revisions, I'm not sure why. Lbbzman (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. That was helpful. I like the wording there and there's a detail I meant to include. Speculation is discouraged, but in this case it seems justified. Too bad there's no source. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 22:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Wong pain scale.jpg

WikiProject C-SPAN?
Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):


 * Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
 * Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
 * Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
 * Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
 * What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

"...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics."

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Better source request for File:Mac Thornberry (ca 2006).gif
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
