The new image of Driscoll is 1274.25 KB. Maybe a cropped version would suffice? :) Forehand

I appreciate your desire to clean up the page, but quotes that indicate his views on woman are relevant to understanding Mark Driscoll's theology and worldview. KevinDLum

Hey thanks for cleaning up Mark Driscoll's article a bit. It had gotten a little ugly from too many hecklers. Squidge37 23:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I completely ganked your style for my user bio on here ;)  Thanks?  ;)  :P  Hunter 17:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks about the article on the English Standard Version...cool, very cool! -iHoshie

Thanks for the note about Jan Britney Spears. I just recently got back into DAYS after a four-month absence, and I thought even DAYS couldn't be THAT dumb. Apparently it is. Why am I shocked? Mike H 02:15, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Rae, saw your note under my username. Yes, I get around, fingers in a lot of pies! I probably edited some of your material on the ESV a few weeks ago. Maybe you won't even be able to spot my edits! :-)

Your category contribs
Hi Raekwon, nice to meet you. I noticed that you added |Last, First to a lot of the categories. What does this do? I can't see what it's doing, so I'm wondering how it helps. Thanks and God bless, Jason Gastrich 22:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Last, First orders the category by last name, rather than first. In categories with a lot of entries, it makes it a lot easier to find what you're looking for. raekwon 23:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Joshharris.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joshharris.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 04:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Wiki-marxist garble
This is a request for immediate help from Kmaguir1. If you have time, I'd like you to examine the Bell Hooks article and talk page. It's a scholarly article about a controversial writer, someone who drew the ire of a conservative commentator. They wanted me to go get the quote from her book, and I did that. But now, they're arguing it's not notable. As a follower of Wikipedia, you will know that of all the meaningless academic trivia included on her page, that what they wanted to exclude was really ridiculous: that she says as an opening to her book, Killing Rage, "I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white male that I long to murder". This may in itself be notable, but David Horowitz wrote about it in 100 Dangerous Professors, and it was written about on front page mag, and all the citations are given on the page. I would appreciate your help--I'm contending with some very difficult Marxists who are attached to her work, and think that they're defending the liberal cause, but really, they're just keeping out material that is very easily notable. By the way, I'm from tennessee, memphis...-Kmaguir1 07:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Greetings. In the interest of disclosure, I'd like to inform you of a conduct RfC on Kmaguir1. It's here: Requests_for_comment/Kmaguir1. If you have time and are so inclined, feel free to provide comments there. Meanwhile, if you go to the bell hooks page, please do join in the discussion. If you read the Talk page and look at my and others' edit histories, you'll see that the picture is not quite as Kmaguir1 paints it. (I have no idea who the Marxists are he's referring to, and I've also edited his text for improvement, and left it in the article, vs. what he's saying here.)


 * Bottom line: welcome to bell hooks, be aware of the RfC, and feel free to join it. Cheers,--Anthony Krupp 17:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Your list IS worthwhile
The list (iPod) you created is/was up for deletion. I want you to know there is a place for it: http://wikitistics.com. No one will be able to nominate it for deletion because it fits one simple rule: it's a statistic, list, or figure. Good luck with your endeavors! Joe 18:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Union University
Raekwon, I updated some information about Union that you apparantly mistook as vandalism. According to the "Unonite" mag released by the school in Dec, undergrad admissions was up over 3,100. The tennis courts also no longer exists, as they were destroyed in order to make room for a new soccer field to augment the older one with poorer drainage.

Replaceable fair use Image:Mark_Driscoll_064.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mark_Driscoll_064.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:CMAlogo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:CMAlogo.gif. 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.
