PSU Template
I had just finished making one seconds after you did. At first I thought someone hadn't put it on the colleges, then I saw you just did one now. The box should be navy rather than blue though, for future reference. --Wizardman 03:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Category:Penn State University alumni
Hi Xanderer. Good job creating the Penn State alumni category. Instead of putting all of the individual football players into the cat, though, you should simply add Category:Penn State Nittany Lions football players to the category. Take a look at Category:Harvard alumni, for an example. ×Meegs 16:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Meegs: Thanks for your help. (I knew there was a better way.) I was unable to post to your talk page due to some spam filter issue. I'll try to figure it out. —Xanderer 18:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Slurpee category and image
Hi, I've just removed Image:Lil-Slurpee.gif from User slurpee, because we arn't allowed to put images with a fair-use rationale (such as logos) onto user pages. Sorry about that! SeventyThree(Talk) 05:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

HFStival List
Thank you for working on this contributing page for HFStival. I did an immediate edit, moving Margret Heater to the M's, not H. Because its a band, not a person. If the chart on the HFStival page does not help with your dates, I am sure I can help you out additionally. Talk to me | vi 01:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I also noticed just now your link to Fidel was incorrect. I corrected that as well, as I just started an article on them last night. --vi 06:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the HFStival page this morning. In keeping the page theme, once a band has performed, we are not linking them again. So that's an FYI. I also reformatted your citation, so as to be able to quickly go back and write out the full citation so it can show at the bottom of the page, as this article becomes fully flushed out to wikipedia expectations.--vi 18:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. Thanks for the tip-in. Incidentally, do you know how to make the columns span the whole with of the table? (After a lot of frustration, I decided to go ahead and post the information first and experiment with the table later.) —Xanderer 18:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like you figured it out with the colspan, as I was going to suggest. I didn't go to the festival this year. I am currently weeding through pictures taken yesterday for some to upload to wikimedia commons for usage. I think the article would read better with images peppered throughout. Also, while you're add it, could you reorder the side stage and local stage for 2006? I believe that's the flow. I also added a quick statement about the buzz tent being cancelled for this year. I don't like my wording, so feel free to change that. --vi 21:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Yellowcard
Hi, there! I saw that you've contributed to the Yellowcard page. I've been working hard all weekend to get it into an encyclopedia-worthy article, and I think we're almost there!

There's a short list of things that still need some work at the bottom of the talk page. If you could take a look at it, maybe add more things to do, or clean up whatever you see needs work, I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks for your help. Have an awesome day! Cathryn 10:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Greg Buttle
Hi Xanderer,

I was a bit surprised by your edit summary for Greg Buttle. Was this a typo? Thanks, GChriss 00:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Just being silly. I worship Greg Buttle—I think he's an oft-overlooked star. Someone once misunderstood me when I was saying his name and it has made me chuckle ever since. Sorry if I offended. I meant no harm. —Xanderer 02:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense taken -- I was curious more than anything else. It is an interesting name.  Take care, GChriss 05:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Snallygaster
This page may help you expand the Snallygaster article. Also, it seems the Snallygaster should be in the Legendary creatures category and not the Cryptids category. Also, the Encyclopedia Mythica page the first link mentions is here. -- J. [ tlk | con | #'s ] @ 07:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Art Houston
A question out of nothing but curiosity: What was the deal with Art Houston? I became curious when you deleleted the reference from Pottstown, Pennsylvania and noticed his article had been deleted and protected. Just curious—I've never heard of him. —Xanderer 01:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I found it under "recent changes" one day, and someone had just prodded it and then User:Timebuilder deleted the 'prod' notice, so I submitted it to AFD (see Articles for deletion/Art Houston. After review, it was deleted, and then today, it was recreated, so I tagged it for speedy, and an admin deleted it, and then it was recreated, and then I retagged it for speedy again, and that admin protected it. I figured since now it was really dead, I went and checked the "What links here" and then did a bit of link cleanup. Sertrel 01:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Was it poorly written, or bogus, or what? (And why do I care?) —Xanderer 23:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Just... completely non-notable, just a guy. And what bugged me was how when people said he was non-notable, he claimed that he really was 'somebody' and then started injecting himself into other articles, or writing up his better-known friends to try and have some of their legitimacy rub off on him. So I did some AfD's. As for 'why' you care, I don't know, curiosity? Sertrel 00:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Mike Reid
I noticed on the Mike Reid disambigution talk page, that you didn't known where Mike Reid, the football player and songwriter, should have an article. I decided on the football portion because I have a feeling people will know him more as a football player than a songwriter. My opinion is biased because I follow football much more than country music. If you, or others, feel the opposite is true, then I have no qualms about it being moved to the appropriate place. Patken4 01:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Hardly a consensus
Three cheers for your comments concerning the lack of a consensus on several deletions today. (Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 1) I don't know how strongly you feel about this issue, but I appreciate you weighing in. I am very concerned about this trend toward Over-Deletionism and plan to stay on it. Any input is greatly appreciated. -Xanderer 17:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just an FYI, though, in my opinion, Kbdank71 typically does an awesome job of discernment. (Look further up his talk page for some other comments of mine.) Sometimes a CfD can be confusing, though, and as far as I can tell, he welcomes the comments. - jc37 18:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you know?

 * That's awesome. Thanks! — xanderer  22:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

The Miracle at the Meadowlands
Thanks for asking for that cite ... not only did I put it in, I decided to start the long-overdue task of making all the references into specific footnotes. Daniel Case 04:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't mention it—you never know how people will react to citation requests. I feel they help make this fascinating article even better. Keep up the good work. — xanderer  18:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Your signature
Please change your signature as it is violating WP:Fair use, the Penn State logo should only be used "to illustrate the organization, item, or event in question" and it shouldn't be used on talk pages, etc. It's also against WP:SIG because it's an image in a sig. Please also see WP:FUIR. Thank you.++ aviper2k7 ++ 00:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Racquel-uso.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Racquel-uso.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 19:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

What a cool trick!
I just saw the change you made to the birthday field on John Gilmore. Very cool trick. Did you create this function yourself or did you see it used somewhere else? – xanderer  21:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I didn't create it, I saw it somewhere else. --Phbasketball6 20:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for the heads-up about the Presidents of Penn State article. 須藤

Pat Tillman infobox colors
Thanks for making the color for the Arizona Cardinals players infobox but in my opinion the color should be used for only present players, (It could get out of hand, like for Reggie White is it the Eagles or Packers color.) People will see if Tillman has the colors and will think to use it for other former players. With thanks --Phbasketball6 03:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I also made the colors for other teams, most of them are only on the head coach of the team for right now, and some of the colors are not really good, please feel free to change them if you think that they are bad. --Phbasketball6 03:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * You're right. I've been operating under those same parameters. I guess I was on a roll and just blanked on Tillman. Good catch. — xanderer  13:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Your signature
You may want to remove Image:PennState-logo.png from your signature because it is licensed as fair use. Wikipedia's fair use policy states that fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. Because you have also signed your name on talk pages, Wikipedia project pages, and so forth, you have repeatedly broken this policy. Feel free, however, to add images and media files licensed under other terms. For more information, see Wikipedia's fair use policy and an accompanying essay on the removal of fair use images. Thank you for your cooperation. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Looking at this edit, it seems that you have been warned about your signature before. Therefore, if you continue to break Wikipedia's fair use policy, your account may be blocked from editing. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Xanderer
The color that your using for the Kansas City Chiefs players is the ones for the Washington Redskins. Thanks--Phbasketball6 18:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

In my opionon the red should be a little brighter, but not as bright as I had it. --Phbasketball6 18:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to change the Chiefs color for all of the current Chiefs players, the reason for this is that the Chiefs color that you put for the players is the same as the Redskins. Sorry--Phbasketball6 00:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Sam-huff-football.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sam-huff-football.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

sig
The flag you are using takes up 7 lines in the edit box. It should also work if the lines are run together. Friendly comment, not complaint.DGG 01:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that I out. I had no idea that was happening—those 7 lines of code don't appear when you use the {flagicon} script within an infobox. (example) I thought it was a cute trick, but I guess I'll stop using it. — xanderer  01:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

== Image:Portrait-leepson%2Cm-9-01.jpg listed for deletion == Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Portrait-leepson%2Cm-9-01.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self-no-disclaimers to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you.

RE: Anthony Adams
Anthony Adams a fullback? That's news to me. Have you read something indicating the Bears may use him as such? ►xanderer 21:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it was a shocker to me too. Apparently SF used to use him as a FB in short yardage situations. Please See Adams prepared to tackle new challenge with Bears --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  22:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I had no idea! I hope they do line him up. He's spent far too much of his career on the bench. —Xanderer 23:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Flagicons
Xanderer, I don't think there is community consensus on the use of flagicons; you'll probably find that many of the articles you just added them to have had them removed previously. See also Don't overuse flags, an essay which a lot of people subscribe to. Picaroon 01:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Jack-ham-poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jack-ham-poster.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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Rettetast 10:31, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:01227-3278mcnally.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:01227-3278mcnally.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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. MER-C 09:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:01228-3279Michalske.jpg
I have tagged Image:01228-3279Michalske.jpg as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. MER-C 09:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Connor and Lee
I started pages on Dan Connor and Sean Lee today. What other current Nittany Lions should have an article? Thanks for the work on Coach Bradley. Dincher 23:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No. Thanks to you! He's been on my "to do" list, but I've been unable to find his birthdate and lost any momentum I had. Excited to see your work on Connor and Lee too. I have lots of former players on my list but Deon Butler is the only current player I can think of. Keep up the good work. —x a n d e r e r  23:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. Butler is next! I am getting excited about the up coming season! Dincher 23:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Deon Butler is up and running.Dincher 00:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * How about AQ Shipley? He's up for the Center award, and probably will be on All-Big Ten teams.  AJ Wallace or Andrew Quarless might be interesting, depending on the seasons they have.Pepperjack 18:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * A.Q. Shipley is up and running too. I think I'll wait on Wallace and Quarless. I don't think that the GoPSU site has been updated yet. Dincher 00:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Since Andrew Quarless has been named to the Mackey Award watchlist I went ahead and started his page. Do you have more biographical info, for example, when and where he was born. Perhaps this is in a program from last season. I haven't found it online. Dincher 22:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image Image:(Brubeck-on-time.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Brubeck-on-time.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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. However, please note that images 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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Angr 12:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Baltim52.jpg as replaceable fair use. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. MER-C 08:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

My "trail of destruction"
What exactly are you referring to? Also, whether I've done wrong things or not (though I am anxious to hear your answer) I see no reason to talk to Jmfangio about it, considering my interactions with him have been due to his ignorance and what I would consider mental instability.► Chris Nelson  01:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's no secret. I've given you my opinion in previous discussions: I agree with you just as often as I disagree with you, but I find your inability to accept the opinions of others and your belligerence toward the process of consensus-building frustrating. It's not constructive and I thought would be well served in his dispute with you over the the new template to see your activities at the old one. It's nothing personal—I just want to see it worked out so I can use it. —x a n d <font color="#6699FF">e <font color="#3366CC">r <font color="#003399">e <font color="#000000">r  <font color="#000000">   notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Xanderer! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
