Sufjan deletion

I noticed that on 16 February 2006, you made an edit to the Sufjan Stevens page, questioning the source of an explanation for his name. I believe I have found that source - it is a 2004 interview with Junkmedia http://www.junkmedia.org/index.php?i=1031 The last question is as follows:

Tell me a little story about the name Sufjan.
It's Armenian. It means "comes with a sword." It's one of those charming militaristic Muslim names. I guess my purpose in life is to kill and avenge.

--Thanks for the reference. I added a section to Sufjan's profile as background and included it, as well as cleaning up the reference section.--Fresh 18:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Sheffield Wednesday F.C

Hi, just to let you know I reverted your edit. Use of the word 'are' in British English often applies to singular nouns, e.g. "the committee are happy with the decision". As an article about a British football club, its probably best to keep the British English form. See articles about other British football clubs for similar use. Hope that clarifies why the article is written as it is. WJBscribe ^{(WJB talk)} 00:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Fried (soldier)

I just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that your AfD nomination above was incompletely listed. You forgot to list the debate on the daily log (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 May 25). I've sorted things out for you though.

Best wishes, Xdamr^talk 22:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Kimm0206.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kimm0206.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 03:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop removing entries from Deaths in 2007. There is consensus that redlinks remain for one month before deletion. WWGB (talk) 03:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Todd Demsey promotional photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Todd Demsey promotional photo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Closed MedCab request

I have closed Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-08-15 Mark Kimmitt. Please allow time for a full discussion to take place. (It is worth noting that despite this dispute being so fresh, some progress has taken place, such as Gregorywill acknowledging the unreliability of some sources.) If you still find the disagreement at an impasse, I would recommend soliciting a third opinion and/or raising your concerns for the savvy folks at the appropriate content noticeboards (specifically, the NPOV noticeboard and the BLP noticeboard). If discussion and advice from uninvolved editors fails to resolve the disagreement, the more involved assistance of mediation may be appropriate. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or drop me an email. Vassyana (talk) 04:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

September 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mark Kimmitt. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Prince of Canada ^{t | c} 03:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

MedCab

I will be closing this case as unresolved, as the two of you have returned to edit-warring. If you both want to pursue mediation of this issue, I will welcome your return to the discussion. However, I will only mediate between you if you both completely refrain from editing the article, the talk page, and each other's talk pages as of the datestamp of this message, until mediation is completed.

If you both wish to continue with this, and agree to the above conditions, please return to the mediation case page and sign your username below the identical comment I have made there in the Mediator Notes section with four tildes, and nothing else. Please do not make any comments, simply sign your names to indicate agreement. I'll give you a few days to consider. Until then, please refrain from further edit-warring on the article page. Prince of Canada ^{t | c} 03:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hiya.. just wanted to see if you're around? I think we'd all like to get the MedCab wrapped up. Cheers. Prince of Canada ^{t | c} 18:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Kudos

MedCab

Let me ask gregorywill first, fair enough? [ roux ] [x] was prince of canada 17:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi.. I had posted a reply on my talk the other day: I think at this point it's best for you to go ahead and do it. Please cite the MedCab case URL in your edit summary, in case anyone has issues with it, and please also go ahead and deal with the talkpage. Cheers. [ roux ] [x] 17:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Mark Kimmitt

Hiya. you came to me saying that you had some concerns about Gregorywill's recent edits to the Mark Kimmitt article. Looking through the recent history, I am concerned about the editing by both of you. I see lots of reverts and almost no discussion on the talkpage. While I don't think it's necessary to open another MedCab case about this, it does seem obvious that the two of you are having some difficulty working together. So I'll present you with three options:

1. You both hold yourselves to strict 0RR on the page, and hammer out all edits together on the talkpage first in the spirit of openness, collaboration, and willing to give in a little;
2. We open another long and tedious MedCab to hammer out all issues related to this article once and for all;
3. I ask admins to topicban the two of you from the article permanently, since apparently you two didn't learn enough the last time around.

It's up to the two of you to come to a resolution, lest you have a resolution imposed by the community. Were I in your shoes, I know which one I'd pick.

I have left a similar message for Gregorywill.

Important Wine Project discussion needs input!

Hello, the Wine Project is currently in the process of hammering out a proposed policy relating to Wikipedia:Notability (wine topics). As Wikipedia and its wine coverage continues to grow, the need for a clear, concise guideline on how Wikipedia's notability policies such as WP:CORP, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTE relate to wine articles has emerged. Please review the proposed policy and take part in the talk page discussion Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(wine_topics)#Ready_to_go_live.3F. All input and view points are welcomed.
