California WikiProject
Since you are in San Jose, California, I'd like to mention the fairly new California WikiProject. Please take a look at the page and see if there is anything that interests you. Also let me know if you have any questions or comments. Blank Verse  &empty;  15:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

USS Kidd (DDG-993)
I sent an email to the Navy General Headquarters and here is the reply. http://www.flickr.com/photos/51744539@N00/82378438/ They confirmed that USS 995 Scott => ROCS 1801 Kee Lung; USS 993 Kidd => ROCS 1803 Tso Ying. Hydonsingore 05:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Pacific Surfliner discussion
Hey, there, you replied to my comment on the Talk:Capitol Corridor page regarding its place as the third-busiest line.

I noticed on your user page that you were a contributor to the Caltrain pages, so I figured you may be into trains as well. I am currently trying to get a job with Amtrak as an assistant conductor, hopefuly in California.

Anyway, wanted to do a virtual handshake and say, "Hello!" Hope my edit on the Pacific Surfliner page, comments on the talk pages and the edit summaries were okay. I am pretty new to editing, so it's exciting.

Anyway, take care!

Re: Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
 What is needed to be said has been said. Taiwan Province and Taiwan do not mean the same thing. So as Republic of China and Taiwan. Meanwhile, please revert your own vandalism to the article. You're introducing errors to the article in your reverts. Thanks. Have a nice holiday. &mdash; Instantnood 16:31, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Map of Taiwan
I replaced the map of Taiwan (image) that you deleted from Republic of China. I am NOT arguing with you regarding ROC's claims to all of China - that is a fact. But, in turn, I ask that you acknowledge the FACT that ROC is currently PHYSICALLY located on Taiwan, and the FACT that such a map IS useful to readers.

I have moved the map to a different section, and removed all wording in the caption of the map that might be misunderstood. If you feel that the caption of the map is wrong, please CHANGE THE CAPTION. The caption CAN be edited. Please do NOT remove the entire map if you disagree with the caption. Thanks. John Broughton |  Talk 00:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, you've convinced me - see Talk:Republic of China. And I apologize for the capitalization - I copied that from another talk page, where I thought a bit more emphasis was needed, without really thinking about it.  John Broughton  |  Talk 02:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Diesel Multiple Unit
Please undo your move. The correct term is Diesel Multiple Unit. Several of them may be called Deisel Multiple Units, but that would be like changing the article Hot dog to Hot Dogs, just because you usually eat two. Please see The Railway Transportation Website for reference.Jerry lavoie 04:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Have you consider the possibility that the website might be wrong all along? To me Multiple Unit"s" should be plural is like "pants", there is no "pant". --Will74205 04:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I considered the possibility that the railway Technology Industry website was wrong about the correct name for this railway technology. But when I compare it to your grammatical hunch, it seemed more likely that you were wrong.  Check out the websites of some of the manufacturers of this technology... eg. Siemens... they call it Diesel Multiple Unit, as well.  Here is a list to make it easier for you:


 * The Free Dictionary
 * Siemens Transportation
 * Another wikipedia article: British Rail locomotive and multiple unit numbering and classification
 * KESR
 * Keating
 * MDA RAILWAY PROJECT OBJECT NAMING THESAURUS
 * IEEE


 * In fact the only websites I found that use the plural form are either talking about two different DMU models. (except one blog site.) Jerry lavoie 04:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay I looked at the http://www.mda.org.uk/railway/raindexd.htm and I see that the "unit" refers to a train unit, not many "units(cars)" make up the train. I'll change my works. --Will74205 04:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank-you. Jerry lavoie 04:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

California high-speed rail
I've bolded the stations on LA-SF part of the California high-speed rail route map, though I'm considering putter the rest of the route in blue instead. Tom pw (talk) 11:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Accord reply
WikiProject Autos policy goes against putting the newest version of a car as head image regardless of quality. Having a lower-quality photo of a car that's already depicted elsewhere in the article is simply less useful than a better photo of a variant not already shown (facelifted 2006-2007 model).

This is to notify you that I responded to you editing out the "core technology" part from the article a second time, this time with reference to my bad grammar, on that article's Talk page. I hope you or someone else can find a proper formulation without omitting "core technology/system" (and I submit my English isn't perfect). --Rontombontom (talk) 13:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:BurlingameCitySeal.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:BurlingameCitySeal.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:KHH.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:KHH.PNG. 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) 17:23, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:VTA Downtown Campbell Station.PNG
File:VTA Downtown Campbell Station.PNG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:VTA Downtown Campbell Station.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move.

Littoral combat ship
Please do not reinsert the prose line style back into the article, that was why the tag was on it in the 1st place, it is not appropriate according the the Wikipedia Manual of Style. The thought behind it being that prose line eventually becomes unreadable and there isn't a thought to follow any more. This did indeed happen to the article. The proseline style is appropriate for recent event sort of articles but this article has been on the project far too long to continue with this style. If you want more of the subject matter in that section then please expand into coherent paragraphs related to that section. Ever changing figures just got to the point that the budget for the project has been every upwards and and expanding.Tirronan (talk) 18:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Then I suggest you start writing if not I will revert in 7 days and you will be in front of the admins for edit warring that clear enough for you?Tirronan (talk) 01:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.''Taiwan is the name we use in infoboxes and leads. Just Taiwan not Republic of China.

MOS:PLOT
Hello, Will74205. I reverted you here because that is too much plot. Also, we use present tense for plot sections. See MOS:PLOT for what I mean. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 10:20, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey again. Regarding this, I'm replying here at your talk page to keep the discussion centralized; I dislike disjointed discussion. The section at that article was already too long to begin with. It was at 1114 words, according to wordcounter.net; that is, if we don't count the hidden note. MOS:PLOT points to WP:Film plot, which recommends that plot summaries for feature films be between 400 and 700 words. You added a character count of 1,292; check the edit history for that number. So what you added was indeed plot bloat. You did better with this 335 character count, but it's still extra detail on an overly long plot summary. Regarding how long the section is at this very moment, counttools.com says that the plot section is 1192 words...while wordcounter.net says that the plot summary is 1190 words. Similar results are no doubt given at other word counters. So, at some point, a WP:Film editor will either tag that section with Template:Plot or significantly cut the section; if the editor is a good cutter, he or she will cut without removing vital details. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:46, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

On a side note: You need to be careful marking edits as minor when they are not; see WP:Minor. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

The 335 character count addition was not a minor edit, for example. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:54, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for helping to trim the plot, like you did here. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:10, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
