Howdy again, did you have a user page written up earlier? - Hephaestos 22:22, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * I have not yet written up a user page. I probably should, now that I've discovered that this site is addictive as hell. - Scarequotes 02:05, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * Nice name. ScareQuotes

Blaze Starr
Hi. You said "Feedback wanted" on your Blaze Starr article. It looks good to me. I'm glad to see her covered (Oh! As soon as I wrote that I realized that's a curious thing to say about a stripper... LOL!) here. We need more about some of the more coloful aspects of Louisiana history. Blaze Away, Cheers, -- Infrogmation 19:47, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Coming from you, I'm especially pleased -- you're quite the contributer! I'm never sure how much detail is too much detail, but I figure it's better to cut than to try to add stuff later. And having just read her autiobiography, it's certain that Starr definitely added a fair bit of color to Louisiana when she was there... -- Scarequotes 20:03, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

Good work on Q score
I liked your article on Q scores. It got me wondering about how the index is calculated. Do you know the weighting formula? Also an example of the survey question(s) used to assess "favourable opinion" would be interesting. I found the examples Q scores of various people and products very instructive, infact more of them would be good, if you are aware of them. Just one note of caution: try not to reference the companies name more than once or twice. There are many Wikipedians that get very upset if they think this site is being used for commercial promotional purposes or as a traffic generating vehicle. Good work. mydogategodshat 16:09, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Cricket magazine
Just noticed you wrote the Cricket article--too cool. My family subscribed to that one from the beginning in '74 up till I became a teenager in '87. Loved it. Pretty much learned to read from it. --Lukobe 16:52, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment --Lukobe 05:32, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Featured article
How much further do you think we have to go until this is worthy of (self-)nomination as a featured article? --Lukobe 01:02, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sub Pop
Hey there, Regarding List of companies based in Seattle, Does Warner really own Sub Pop now? I thought they owned 49% of Sub Pop and Pavitt and Poneman owned the other 51%. --Lukobe 05:47, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Hoover's describes Sub Pop as a "business division," but it is also listed as a separate company with a Seattle address. And subpop.com doesn't mentoin Warner at all. Hmm. Frankly, I'm not an expert on Sub Pop's ownership structure, so you're likely right.


 * Regardless, I'm thinking that Sub Pop and the Bon might be be better off in the "currently based in Seattle" section regardless. They're each still local. And Bon-Macy's [i]is[/i] the regional HQ for stores throughout the northwest, even though they're part of Federated. Scarequotes 01:59, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Lukobe 02:07, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Light more light!
Thanks for being a loyal Lawrentian and starting the Wikipedia page on our alma mater. I wasn't sure there was going to be an article there and was pleasantly surprised to find one. Cheers, --Illusio80 03:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC) LU '02

PS, with a name light that, you *must* be a Fritzell veteran. I never actually had a class with him, but I'm well acquainted with his idiosyncrasies anyway. :D --Illusio80 03:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:ThisIsParis.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ThisIsParis.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

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) 02:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kexp_903.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kexp_903.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 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 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. Project FMF (talk) 03:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided - one is April 8 (Wednesday) starting at 6 pm and the other is April 18 (Saturday) starting at 10 am. (Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration.) Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 00:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
