3rr / GW[edit]

Just to make sure you are aware of WP:3RR. On the subject of GW, may I suggest that rather than making huge changes and getting offended when people don't like them, you try some rather more minor changes first William M. Connolley 09:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am aware and did abide by it. The only change I made was adding "neutrality check" tag, as I believe this article does need attention regarding adequate expression of the minority view. Which apparently I am unable to fix due to unwarranted reversions.

Watch out for William, he doesn't believe in abiding by WP:OWN on GW and has admin powers to back himself up. Kyaa the Catlord 14:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. :) Will do. The machine512 14:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Global warming article[edit]

Thanks for your support of my comments at the Featured article review for Global warming. Would you have any interest in posting a few of your comments in the mediation page? It is at Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-03-25 Global warming‎. The one thing which really matters in a mediation is having not a multitude of voices, not just one or two voices on each side.Without that, the whole mediation may not get much attention. So if you;d like to post anything, we'd sure appreciate it. Please feel free to write to me anytime. Thanks. See you. --Sm8900 18:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:HowardJones.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HowardJones.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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tim Patterson[edit]

The article Tim Patterson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I can find in-depth coverage in only one independent, secondary, reliable source (see Talk page). Does not seem to meet other WP:NPROF criteria.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
