GA Nomination
I saw that you added Kennesaw State University as a "good article nominee" on WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state). In order to nominate an article for "good article" status, you must follow the instructions on Good article candidates. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You need more references in order to get the article to good article status. See here for what an article needs to qualify for GA status. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Reporting vandalism
What do I do when an ip's (from GA Tech) keeps vandalizing the Kennesaw State University?


 * WP:WARN and after a few warnings, WP:AIV. Xiner (talk, email) 19:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm watching the KSU article, and I'll help you revert the vandalism when I see it. To warn a user, subst (first violation),  (second),  (third), and then report them on WP:AIV if they continue continues. Note that you can only warn a user for recent vandalism; if they vandalize five times before you can warn them, they only get one warning template. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I know you probably are already aware of this but once a prod is removed for a legit reason it should not be restored. Please see Proposed deletion. If you still think it should be deleted then send it to AfD. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Georgia College & State University
I reverted your edit to Georgia College & State University because, in general, removing a large amount of info from an article is done by a vandal. Looking at your other contributions, however, seems to indicate that you are not a vandal. What was your reason for removing the content? And, for future reference, it's helpful give a detailed edit summary so other editors have some insight into your reasoning. Cynrin 22:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Journalism
Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Journalism - I'm sure your input there will be valued! In particular, User:Wiki Wistah has proposed a guideline for editing articles about newspapers, and although I've responded with comments of my own, WW rightly suggested that it should be more than just a two-way conversation. Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated. Otherwise, if this is not of interest to you, or if you've already got a plateful of editing, feel free to ignore this message! -Tobogganoggin talk 23:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Color-box spacing
We're trying to standardize the color boxes being joined together, as per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities, to keep color boxes from displaying on different lines at certain schools. I reverted your edit, but no hostility meant. --Dynaflow 00:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's now italicized now after the bolded phrase "standard color line," so it should now be easier to pick out of the sea of text. --Dynaflow 01:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:KSUGreen.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KSUGreen.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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Thejermdotorg. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof.

on warning vandals
"Only" and "final" warnings really should be that. If you keep piling them up, it encourages vandalism ("I got three finals and still no block! I can do whatever I want!"). Only time to repeat those final warnings is when the last one was over a week ago. But regardless, thanks for the WP:AIV report. I've blocked that particular IP for 31 hours. ··coe l acan 02:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * good call. I just notice it takes a while for some to get blocked after an WP:AIV, what else is there to do?
 * Just wait, really, and revert what they do. I know it's frustrating. =( But if they don't stop after a final warning, nothing else will stop them until they're blocked. ··coe l acan 02:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
