Three Valleys Ranch Heliport
I removed your speedy deletion tag from this article. Even if an article may appear to be problematic to you, please do not tag them when it's clear that the author is in the middle of developing it. It's frustrating to have someone place a speedy deletion tag up when you're not more than five minutes into your work, and it's obvious that this isn't a vandalism, attack, or copyvio page.

On a related note, there's plenty of precedent that airports and heliports, even small ones, are inherently notable (check Category:Heliports for some examples). Even if the author hadn't made it clear that he was still working on the content, I would have removed the tag for that reason. You're welcome to try an AfD, but given how many other similar articles exist, it probably won't pass. Tijuana Brass (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your contributions in this debate. I have just replied. Please reconsider. Cheers. --Edcolins (talk) 19:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

TPH RfA oppose
The emerging consensus on the AfD that caused you to switch to oppose on TPH's RfA is that the article in question should be deleted. You may (or may not) wish to re-evaluate your oppose based on this interesting development. Avruch talk 20:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry Avruch talk, I stand by my opinion be it ; "...Good, Bad or Ugly". But thanks for the heads-up. Shoessss |  Chat  22:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks you for the welcome message
Dear Shoeness

Thank you for your welcome message. Very yellow. I am very much in the foothills of understanding how this thing works, but am in principal enthusiastic about the concept. And I think I may be making very slow progress in understanding just a very few of the more intricate 'whys' and (even, though this seems likely to take a little bit longer) 'hows'. I am sure the links you provided will help hasten the necessary learning tasks for me.

Sincerely

Charles01

Response to your Message
Hi. I just got a message from you saying "Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to NYPD Auxiliary Police. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me."

I went to the link you provided to show me what you changed but dont understand exactly what was changed. My question is what did I exactly delete that made you send me this message? All I deleted was a template that was in the wrong place. The template was put onto the picture I added to the page however it was also added to the page where it shouldnt have been.
 * Hey Guy/Gal. I reviewed the page in question and can see that you did not mean to cause any harm. When you removed your template, you also picked-up one of the other language templates by mistake.  This caused the bot I am using to notice the removal.  I have removed the tag from your discussion page and replaced it with this response.  If you have any other questions, just drop me a line.  ShoesssS Talk

Response to your Message
Hi. I would like to say thank you for removing the tag from my discussion page. I didnt mean to remove the language templates as I was just trying to remove the picture template. I apologize if my mistake caused any kind of problems for you or any other Wikipedia user and will be more careful in the future when working on Wikipedia.
 * No problem, and once again Welcome to Wikipedia. ShoesssS Talk

user Accuse La Banks
From his talk page I gather you deleted some articles he created. I wanted to draw your attention to this post he left on his user page. Pairadox (talk) 12:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry I am late in responding, but yes I did get his message. Sorry to say the article was deleted before I could do anything.  It’s a shame, it more of a procedural problem with copyright rather than an actual problem.  Tried to direct him on what to do but it went down to fast:-(.

How do you feel about mops?
Hey, I see you around quite a lot at WP:SCV, and you do some good work there. I've also taken a look at some of your recent contributions and your editor review, and feel that you would be a good addition to our administrative team. How would you feel about becoming an admin? :) Drop me a line whenever you like. GlassCobra 15:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL they usually involve dirty water, but first hello and Happy New Year GlassCobra. Let me begin by saying; “… thank you” very much for the compliment. However, I would respectfully say no to your nomination of me as an administrator for several reasons.  First, I have been involved with several Rfa’s and to be honest, I would not put myself through what those guys/gals have put-up with regarding comments and fault finding.   The second reason is even more selfish, I actually enjoy editing here at Wikipedia and just editing.   I enjoy being the autonomist editor, in that I  actually have, in a lot of cases, more freedom than you, the overworked administrators.  In fact, I do not need the added burden and reasonability of having those few extra buttons without making anymore money :-).  But I do appreciate you asking.  Once again Thank You and Happy Editing. Shoessss |  Chat  21:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I certainly understand your logic. :) Well please do let me know if you change your mind, okay? Thanks very much and happy editing to you! GlassCobra 22:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Up Loading Pictures
Helpme – Up loading Pictures. Quick question? Is there any type of copyright violation up loading pictures from our Wikipedia Germen site to Wikipedia English site? Thanks for your help. Shoessss | Chat  18:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * German WP has the same licensing requirements as English WP -- GFDL-compatible. In theory this means that all images on the German WP should be GFDL compatible (I don't know if German WP does fair use, but I would guess at a far lesser extent than the English one). However, you must check to make sure you properly copy over the source and licensing to the English WP image, or it will face deletion on account of missing / improper licensing info. - Revolving Bugbear  18:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * For accuracy's sake: Images may also have a Creative Commons license like cc-by-sa, which is not (yet) GDFL-compatible, and German law does not have a fair use equivalent. Arthena(talk) 21:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. - Revolving Bugbear  21:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Japanisches palais.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Japanisches palais.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I added the license to the image. I also answered your question on the Help Desk Help_desk, but it seems you also asked it using the helpme template. Please don't ask questions in two locations in rapid succesion, or people's time will be wasted writing duplicate replies. Arthena(talk) 21:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC).
 * First, Thank you the quick response and help in the license issue. Second, I apologize for letting my fingers get ahead of my brain.  Call it finger disconnect.  When I placed the {helpme} I saw the WP:Help Desk link and just couldn’t resist. Shoessss |  Chat  21:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, no problem :). Arthena(talk) 21:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Meetup
I got Ike's message, and seeing as it'll just be you and my girlfriend I don't think that's worth it. The meetup has been postponed for a month or so due to insufficient attendance. I need to figure out (from Evrik?) how they got that message to appear before, to avoid this happening again. -- Te xa sD ex  &#9733;  01:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem! Just let me know the date and I should be there.  Take care and by the way Happy New Year. Shoessss |  Chat  16:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: the ongoing Afd: I noticed you said that regardless of whether the AfD result was "keep" or "delete", you were going to work on the article to clean it up/expand/add sources. See my comment at the AfD - I will work on the article as well and expand w/ sources. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer and I look forward to working with you. I’ll start working on it next week.  Just have to finish up a piece for our sister site Deutsch Wikipedia.  Take care. Shoessss |  Chat  13:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the copyvio paragraph from the page. If the remaining article is also copyvio, feel free to leave a new db-copyvio tag for it, based on its source. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * LOL – Not much left after your edit! No it’s fine now and thanks. Shoessss |  Chat  14:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not much - but enough to not be speedy deletable. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I am in agreement with you! Nothing wrong with stubs as the article is being worked on.  In fact, I should have just deleted the paragraph instead of tagging.  Call it the first edit of the day, still wasn’t awake. Shoessss |  Chat  14:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
