 * I believe Image:TylerStewart2.jpg is good, however it needs more explicite source info in order to stand the test of time. Nice photo.  Please give your name and confirm that you are the photographer and state it explicitly on the license info for the photo.


 * I gave a date and location for the show, and noted that I am the creator of the image. I don't see the problem TheHYPO 22:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: What's My Line guest panelists
Hi, yes I agree that these lists can get tedious. I have no problem putting this list elsewhere--though I do not think that burying the info. within a talk page is of any use as it will most likely never be resurrected. I do not see a problem of having such long lists of guests under their own article, but I think it is more relevant and accessble to have the list within a trivia section at the end of the article. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad to know that others are as passionate about What's My Line as I am. All the Best, Bill Keane in So. Cal. aka Keane4

Deletion of Image - Andy Creeggan

 * You deleted Image:Andag1.jpg from Andy Creeggan citing that it is not used to for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question. I would argue that it is used to identify Andy Creeggan and demonstrate his appearance in that video (just like a screenshot, say, of 24 may be used in an article about a character to ID that character, rather than to ID the show or episode... I'm interested in your point of view; please elaborate. (note: You can reply here if you like; I will keep watch on this talk page) TheHYPO 06:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, TheHYPO. According to the bold text on the musicpromo-screenshot template you used on Image:Andag1.jpg, that images can only be used "for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question". Let me know of any further questions. Best regards, --Abu Badali 12:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand that; My question is why you feel that identification of how someone appeared in that video does not qualify. Note the image Image:Jean-Luc_Picard1.jpg is also a TV screenshot; like thousands of TV and movie characters on wiki, the image is used to ID the character, though the image is not being used to specifically identify the episode or scene in question. I understand that the copyright for screenshots say 'and its contents' at the end, but it's the same fair use law for music videos as film and tv shots; and that phrase should apply equally to music video screenshots, which are tv screenshots; just because whoever made the template didn't use the phrase 'and its contents' shouldn't necessarily alter the qualifications for use. TheHYPO 19:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello again, TheHYPO. I believe when the template says "identification", it means identification of "the music video in question", not identification of anything desired. I agree that there are tons of fair use abuses on Wikipedia, but a thousand erros don't make a right. I also believe that when movie-screenshot says "it's contents", it's not allowing us to use a movie screenshot just to illustrate an article on some person depicted on that screenshot. Also, these templates were not made at some editor's will. They should follow the Wikipedia's Fair Use policies. If we find something too permissive in some of the templates, it's going to be changed to match the policies. Best regards, --Abu Badali 20:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So if the article discussed the music video in question, it would be an acceptable use? TheHYPO 20:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That image is acceptable as fair use in any article doing critical commentary on the video. Just mentioning the video is no good. Some few lines about the video, is no good. (I'm not implying you intend to do that, I'm just warning you about a very commom type of Fair Use abuse on Wikipedia). The text should be the cause behind the image use, not the reverse.
 * Even if the article is changed to make a deep critical disscussion on the video, we should avoid using that image as the main image on the article (at the top), as it would be still being used to identification of the subject.
 * Of course, this is all my interpretations of the fair use policies on Wikipedia and I'm open to discussion.
 * TheHYPO, I appreciate your intentions to put an image on the Andy Creeggan article. I agree that images greatly improve Wikipedia's article. But free images, although harder to get, are a thousand times better choice. Have you tried to find some free image for this article? I have had some recent success in findding freely licensed images to use in Wikipedia by searching pictures on Flickr and, when they are not already free, contacting the photographer and asking if he/she would be interested in having his work used on Wikipedia. You know what? Most of them love the idea and release their work freely. Why don't you give a try? Best wishes, --Abu Badali 20:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Andag1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Andag1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Vacation
Hi,

I'm going on a two week vacation soon and therefore will I not be able to watch the edits made to The Simpsons. I know you already watch the page, so I will just ask you to perhaps watch it a bit closer. I personally go through every single edit and remove whatever crappy additions have been made. Anyway, have a great summer.

Best regards, Maitch 21:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...
Yeah, I know the feeling. You should be writng an essay, and slowly, you make just one edit, then another, another, and soon, you are up at 2am editing instead of writing an essay. :) aido2002 06:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: ParserFunctions
Hi,

What I have done is to checkout revision 15021 of http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ParserFunctions (it is the latest revision which actually works with 1.6) and then make this change:

--- ParserFunctions.php (revision 15021) +++ ParserFunctions.php (working copy) @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@       }

function ifHook( &$parser, $test = , $then = , $else = '' ) { -              if ( $test !== '' ) { +              if ( (string)$test !== '' ) { return $then; } else { return $else;

With this, ParserFunctions seems to work flawlessly with 1.6.

Barenaked Ladies Are Me
Hey! I don't typically use Wikipedia to talk about things other than articles, what needs to be done, etc., but I couldn't resist this time around. I'm a big Barenaked Ladies fan, and I was curious what you knew about the upcoming release on USB through werkshop.com (seeing as how you were the one who added it on the page). Do you know anything about when that will be available for order and how much it will cost? I couldn't seem to find it on the website. Thanks in advance!

Hello, again... I was trying to add onto the screenshot compilation you made, with a screenshot of the current Late Night set... and for some reason, all I saw on the page was a squeezed version of the image, without the new part.

I still do not perceive this as vandalism. Quoting from Vandalism: "Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them on an article's talk page, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is regrettable — you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, it is not vandalism." Kimchi.sg 13:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes
Hi, hope you don't mind me posting to your userpage but I'm trying to collect opinion on a proposal relating to The Simpsons and, despite posting to various talk pages, I've had no feedback at all (except from a co-planner). I don't mind if all the opinion is negative (then I'll just forget the idea) but I'd like it to get some visibiltiy. I'm not going to go implement it unless the consensus is positive.

I'm proposing changing the way we manage lists of songs in episodes. Please see WikiProject The Simpsons/Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes which has a full explanation of the proposal. Please leave comments there.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this, or any views on where else it should be discussed --Mortice 12:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

In case you weren't aware....
...you don't actually "own" the Barenaked Ladies articles that are here. See WP:OWN. And Barenaked Ladies Are Men is its own album. You don't have the right to revert edits - especially when they're so convincingly proven - because it doesn't suit YOUR perception of what the articles should be. I've been here longer than you and one of the things you'll have to learn is that collaboration is a major part of wikipedia and that no one has ownership over the articles. There are also serious NPOV issues in your writing (there is a difference between encyclopedic writing and the musings of a fan). I strongly suggest you leave the pages as they are - specifically the new album, or else I will have to get an admin involved and will be proven right. Learn to be flexible. It'll be to your benefit. (Have you looked at the official BNL site lately? Both new albums are listed for sale separately.  Both albums are also being reviewed separately  - look at All Music Guide, for example.  How much more proof do you need?).

My concern about article Barenaked Ladies Are Men
Hello, User:, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or argumentative, but I'm concerned about article Barenaked Ladies Are Men, which you have edited. Could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, understanding your reasons for your particular edits, and discussing what alternatives might avoid raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If you prefer, we can discuss the matter at Talk:Barenaked Ladies Are Men, where other editors could contribute their viewpoints.
 * If we can't agree in either setting, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * If you prefer not to deal with me at all, you can ask others for guidance: there are experienced Wikipedians who offer mentorship, "adoption", or advocacy; and many admins will also make the time to answer earnest questions on their talk pages (though some are either very busy or away on "Wikibreak").
 * Any time you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of it all, you can simply post   here on your talk page, with a description of your questions or problems, and someone will show up to help you find answers or solutions.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your editing is so bad that you should just stop or be stopped. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus -- either here, or at Talk:Barenaked Ladies Are Men, or at WP:RFC. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- JPG-GR 06:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Esl1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Esl1.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.

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 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.

Barenaked Ladies
Heyo. In your recent editing of the Barenaked Ladies article, you have violated the three-revert rule. I'm not going to report the violation, so you don't need to worry about being blocked about it, but I hope you'll read the policy to avoid violating the rule in the future.

Cups and balls
Notice that the title of the section is "how to perform". A short summary is fine, but a ten paragraph explanation that goes through every detail and gives the reader explicit instructions on how to do something is not. See WP:NOT. -- Captain Wikify Argh! 21:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know anything about magic. But I do know a lot about Wikipedia. My thought process: Hmm... Someone appears to have put a section about performing a magic trick in an article and added hidden text in an apparent attempt to keep anyone from removing it. Well, since they're that desperate to keep it there, they must be the kind of person who will blindly revert me and keep adding that section back. I should A.) remove the section and B.) add hidden text that will prevent them from re-adding the section.
 * The reason I deleted it was not the length; it was because the section itself was a set of instructions, as opposed to a simple explanation. You're welcome to re-add it, but make it shorter and more applicable to Wikipedia rules. -- Captain Wikify Argh! 21:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't know how I can explain this to you. Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. We do not tell people how to do things. And if those articles really do contain sections that have instructions, they should be removed. Simple, no? -- Captain Wikify Argh! 21:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

"Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instructions, advice (legal, medical, or otherwise) or suggestions, or contain 'how-to's. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where 'how-to's relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at our sister project Wikibooks."


 * Oh, stop. You want the simple truth? I was right. The section was pointless and went against a simple Wikipedia rule; I removed it. It's called a Wiki for a reason. If you have a problem with my removal of the section, fix it yourself. And more importantly, who cares? You're acting as though this is some huge deal that will forever lower Wikipedia's accuracy. I followed a policy by removing something that shouldn't have been, and you keep harping on me about it. I have explained, numerous times, that what I did was completely justified, yet you can't seem to understand it for some reason, and you're seriously bugging me by repeatedly trying to save face by attempting to make a point. Let me be very clear: I know what I'm doing. And I don't have time to argue with you about something no one cares about. I'm busy; go fix whatever you think is broken by yourself. And don't bother me about it again. -- Captain Wikify Argh! 22:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine. Be a dick about it. If you think that you're right, bring up this whole incident at WP:RFC. Guess what they're going to say? You're wrong, kiddo, and you've got a lot to learn about Wikipedia conduct and policies. -- Captain Wikify Argh! 01:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Enough. I'm not going to listen to you attempt to justify your babbling anymore. Congratulations, you have forced me open a RFC. -- Captain Wikify Argh! 01:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Jmag1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jmag1.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].

Fair use rationale for Image:LateNightHanks1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LateNightHanks1.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.

TheHYPO - I am working on the project Disambiguation pages with links/2007-08-02 dump fixing up these pages that don't link correctly. I changed the link for WWF and conservation because "conservation" just goes to a disambiguation page. Can you look at the disambiguation page and work out which of the actual links is appropriate? Pages that are linked to disambiguation pages need to be pointed to an actual article. Stellar 05:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a little note, I did not name the article- it already existed with that naming format. I was only merging like products that did not require their own articles, so if you wish to move it go right ahead. Don't forget to create/change all of the redirects and the template.

If you wish to post a note like you did on my user page, please take the time look at the history of the article. If you had, you would have discovered that the article was created by SPLASTiK (talk | contribs) using the name with the '\'.

Response from Writer1400
I never said to you to put up video links, I know it's against the rules which is why I told him we can't. I'm well aware that the band was on "Behind the Music" but how do we know what information was actually said in that tv special? We don't. For all we know, you or anyone else for that matter can just make up information and credit it to the "Behind the Music" special. The bottom line is, we don't know what was said in that tv special so all we can do is go off what you are saying and I don't think that's a good idea. Writer1400 Writer1400 23:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * (response from someone outside the window looking in) That's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. You may not know what was said in that special, but many people do. At this point, you're just arguing the point because you refuse to admit you have no feet to stand on. JPG-GR 07:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

One last comment regarding the situation
If you are going to keep these sources, then there are some things that should really be removed. These are things that I find should really be removed until more sources are found. I think you should find this reasonable. Here's the list:

It says Tyler Stewart thinks Andy was never happy or whatever it was, that he was replaced as percussionist. This is very suspicious. I've been a huge fan for years and this information seems very odd epsically from what I've seen in all the interviews they've done. It needs to be removed.

If your going to use the tv specials as sources, at the very least, don't use direct quotes. There are things in there that you've quoted Steve and Ed as saying exactly. This is not a good idea. They need to be removed.

I'm going to remove these things, then there won't be as much of a problem. Although other sources are needed soon. Writer1400 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.54.136 (talk) 18:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

BTTF
The film infobox no longer displays awards, it's too biased. Sorry about your plot clean-up, but it do look awfully stretched. This article has so many up and down days, sigh, with the plot ballooning and deflating. Often I've assumed good faith over people getting the article to a decent level, but... Anyway, you seem reasonable, keep up the good work. Alientraveller 09:42, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

The BnL page is now fixed, there's no more tags.
What do you think of it? I added 8 additional sources to go along with the 7 we already have. They are sources for all the sentences that were tagged such as the ones that said BNL took part in that Shakespeare project, BNL took part in Live 8, BNL's "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" was their first top 40, Andy left to go to McGill University etc. Everything is now sourced. It's great.

However, there WERE a few SMALL sentences that I had to delete and I explain why on the edit page. Some of it was just wrong such as the "E2E got positive reviews", no it didn't. Ed even admitted on his blog that the album was trashed. The whole thing with this boxset, I couldn't find any information and there hasn't even been an announcement lately HOWEVER as soon as the band gives ANY news on it, I will GLADLY put the boxset info back up. Also, the last thing was "MYSD was more mature", I couldn't any source for this, and that's really a matter of opinion anyways since MYSD can still be seen as comical album, it wasn't until Maroon that the band REALLY starting taking things more seriously image wise and they have admitted this too.

So please TheHYPO, I did alot of work yesterday on this. Please don't go reverting back everything just because I took down 2 or 3 small sentences. I wanted to get that "original research" tag taken off finally. I hope you don't revert everything.

Writer1400 13:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know(from Writer1400)
Just so you know, I want you to look at this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_%28band%29

I wrote that entire page except for 3 or 4 sentences, I was the one who sourced everything and I spent months working on that article since that band has a 30 year history, so please, don't act like I don't know anything about wikipedia. I don't appreciate that at all.

Yes, I could have given source descriptions to all the sources I added but I didn't have the time. The page was in deseparate need of those sources so I had to act quick and just get those sources up. By all means, go back and give proper descriptions to all the sources, I encourage that, at least now the page is sourced and those tags are finally gone.

Writer1400 12:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey
I never said just because I wrote the whole Toto page, I know everything, I never said that. Obviously I still have stuff to learn. The whole thing with signatures is something I'm working on, I don't normally post in talk pages, I'll work on that. But I think your being very nit-picky, your trying to find things wrong with me because you don't like that I touched the BNL page, believe me, even though you haven't said it, your still strongly implying that you feel you own the BNL page and you don't like anyone else touching it, well you don't own it.

Bottom line, I've improved the page. I put those tags up which got you to add more sources, plus I put more sources up myself, the article is better now because of what I've done. And honestly, if I didn't start this whole thing by putting up those tags to begin with, you wouldn't have done anything, right now, the page would probably still only have had those 3 sources and all that stuff would have been left unsourced. I get the strong impression from your whole attitude during this whole thing you that you really couldn't be bothered to improve the page at least not anyime soon. Writer1400 (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Blanking out things
On the BNL page, I only blanked out the part about us talking about my signature which was supposed to be blanked out. It had nothing to do with BNL in any way. What you said there on the BNL talk page, you should have said on my talk page. That talk page is for BNL discussion only.

Not only that, but I want nothing to do with that page anymore. It's impossible for anyone other than you to edit it in any way. You have taken over the whole page. It's like a monopoly. I remember I tried editing some stuff back around March and almost immediately, you reverted everything. Well guess what, your violating this rule Ownership of articles ,you are behaving as if you own the page and I will be reporting you for this because quite frankly enough is enough.

I feel alot better now about editing and working on the page because there's now at 2 or 3 admins monitoring the page now to make sure everything is going well.

Can you please add the source?
After I took down the unsourced boxset sentence, you put it back up saying you had the source and that you would put it up asap. That was a few weeks ago now, do you still plan on putting it up? If not, I have to delete the sentence. Writer1400 (talk) 21:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Changing the main image
I remember you said you had another group shot of the band. Is there any chance you can upload it and replace the main group image that's there now? I think the picture is bad because it's insulting to Steven Page, it makes him look like a moron. Readers who come across the page that don't know much about the band will not realize that is Steve is just joking around in that picture, they will actually think he's crazy or something. It's best to replace it. As a fellow BNL fan, I'm sure you would want all the band members to be portrayed in the best and fairest way possible. Writer1400 (talk) 14:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I think the picture show's their playfulness onstage and sense of humour. I don't think it portrays him as an idiot in any way, or I would not have chosen it. I don't think it required replacement, personally. TheHYPO (talk) 08:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Can't you at least upload the other picture so we can see which one is better? Writer1400 (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm in the middle of exams. I don't have time to search through my photos right now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the photo, so I don't really want to spend the time instead of studying. I should also point out that there are tons of photos of celebrities on wikipedia that are pretty bad photos just because they are free. The BNL one at very least looks presentable and shows them as a group, at work. I've always hated the photo used at Tom Hanks. Terrible photo. The photo of his wife Rita Wilson doesn't even really show her face. I know for a fact that (minor) news organizations as well as concert promoters have pulled the photo and used it for articles and ticket sales, so I think that if they feel the photo isn't too insulting to print, I don't think wikipedia should either.


 * And I'm not sure I ever said I had other group shots of the band (I have plenty of access to screenshots, but we're not talking about that). I probably do have a few others that I've taken (and I might have said so) but to be clear, it's probably a dozen photos at most out of several hundred concert shots. It would take a while to find that I don't have right now, and I don't necessarily think they are better photos. While they might not "make someone look moronic", which I don't agree this photo does (by all means, ask on the BNL talk page and see if people think he looks moronic), such photos might more annoyingly block parts of band members faces, feature poor angles on them, or otherwise just be less suitable for displaying the band.

 * I never said you had to look for a new picture right away. I didn't say it was a priority. Obviously, finish your exams first. Just that, when you get the time, please check your files to see if you have another group photo.


 * Please think about this, if you didn't know who BNL was and you looked at that page and saw that picture, what would you think when you saw Steve in that picture? Writer1400 (talk) 23:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I would think that he was doing what he's doing... pretending to golf for some reason... or else I'd just not know what he was doing... I don't know how I'd construe it as insulting him though, or making him look like a moron.


 * Pretending to golf? Well I would never have guessed that. It's not as obvious as you think. Writer1400 (talk) 12:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * If you think so. Hence, I captioned the image on its description page, where people can go if they want to know about the image. I think it's more obvious than you are giving it credit. TheHYPO (talk) 20:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Here's where you said that
Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Barenaked_Ladies/Archive_1#New_images

You said in that first paragraph "I could easily upload another modern performance image (mine to upload free of copyright) of all 5 members for the "modern" section of the article so we don't have to scatter random headshots around the article."

There you go, that's where you said that. Writer1400 (talk) 21:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * In reply to your last message, thank you for linking to that. I couldn't find it when I looked. And as I suspected, I never insinuated that I had a better image. Merely one that would do the job of the random images from 2005 scattered through the article in sections about 1988 and 1996 etc. which are completely out of place, IMO. Noone else seemed to have a problem with it, so I decided to just leave the many images up. In no way did I intend to suggest the image would be better suited for the lead image of the article, or that would replace the existing lead.


 * This reply is with respect to the fact that you pointed that link out which I asked you to point out. Now that I have replied, I am done talking to you. I have lost what little respect I already had for you and your arguments. I thought you were a bit stubborn with the citations but that you were trying to improve things in good faith, and were merely misinformed about policy. Then you started threatening to goto the admins over a disagreement as if they have the time to sit around and police your quarrels. After your last comment on the BNL talk page, I'm done responding to you. I will not reply to you on my talk page anymore. I may reply to you on article talk pages if I feel that not doing so will give you the impression that everyone agrees with you, but otherwise I probably won't. In any event, I will reply in the minimum response possible to fulfill wikipedia's policies for being an editor, which will likely require me to respond to you on article talk pages at least on occasion. I will crosspost this on my talk page in case you decide to blank my talk from your own talk page as you have done in the past, which is generally considered bad wikipedia form, but I don't care enough to whine to an admin about it.

Just so you know
A majority of the articles you created(such as some of the bnl singles pages and kevin hearn's solo album page) have no sources at all, I put "no sources tags" and "original research tags" on the articles.

Also, the articles that you did not create but keep an eye on regularly such as the ones for "Plinko" and "Golden Road" and the other BNL singles pages all have the same problem so I put the 2 tags on all those pages as well.

I don't care if you reply to me or not(even though you should reply, this whole "I'm not talking to you" nonsense is silly) but all those tags MUST stay until you or someone else fixes them, those are the rules from Wikipedia. Have a good day. Writer1400 (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:SYN
I appreciate that you did not revert me on Chris Simon. I just want to refer you again to WP:SYN, which establishes that using a source to draw a connection that the sources themselves do not draw is original research. Basically, if we don't have a source that says Simon is suspended, we can't say that he is just because the rules call for it. Beyond what our policies say, it's not really a safe assumption, either, since weird things happen with the rules all the time. I remember in the 2002 playoffs when the Isles played the Leafs, Gary Roberts got a major when he charged Kenny Jonsson, who was injured on the play. The rules specify that Roberts should've been ejected from the game (major penalty plus injury), but he was not. It would not only have been original research to have the article say that Roberts was ejected with a citation to the rulebook, it would've been wrong.
