In your edit on the Gavin Newsom article you wrote:

Gavin Newsom (born October 10, 1967) is the Mayor of San Francisco, California...

Today is Jan 3. Newsom won't be mayor until Jan 8. That means it's not practical to call him the Mayor now. Gotta love Lame duck periods... - iHoshie 08:24, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Whoops. Thanks for the catch. I was attempting to find a way to word it where the other user wouldn't just revert it immediately. As he's a partisan, he did anyway. Scooter 08:26, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

You are welcome. Speaking of your reverts. No wonder I got so many edit conflicts last night. As for the Wikipedian who incerted his POV into the article, it's not right. There appears to be a lot of people who are bitter after the runoff. My guess is that the user you reverted appears to be one of them. - iHoshie 19:54, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Which is rather odd, considering that his candidate won! As a Green, I wasn't happy about the outcome, but not enough to take POV in a Wikipedia article. As I mentioned on wikc, this particular user seems to simply be a partisan; his purpose is to list the best possible spin on Democratic candidates. Why else would he edit an article so thoroughly as to delete the name of the person his candidate defeated? Scooter 21:29, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Looks like the guy you reverted is a Democratic Party hack. As for the bitterness I interfered in my last message, I got the info from this Chronicle story:

The election may be over, but the sparring between San Francisco Mayor-elect Gavin Newsom and defeated rival Matt Gonzalez shows no sign of letting up.

From what I've read, the bitterness is between Gonzlez and Newsom, not the other way round. Sorry for the confusion. As to the article, I am writing Newsom's office in order to use a photo. - iHoshie 01:13, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

As far as this guy is concerned, yes, he has some terrific problems with NPOV, and I hope some action - either by him, in learning some balance, or by administrators, in making sure he doesn't damage anything else - is taken soon. As far as Gonzalez is concerned, good. Personally, I'd love to see a Green put the screws to Newsom. :-) Scooter 02:18, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I saw that you listed Image:Gwbasketball.JPG on images for deletion, citing that it is too large. You you display the image separately by linking to [[Media:Gwbasketball.JPG]] like Larger size (and preferably under a smaller version if one exists). Hope this helps, Jiang 00:31, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Scooter,

I have posted a draft of a letter I wanted to send to the guy who made a ruckus out of the Newsom article. It's on Jiang's Talk page. Comments? -- iHoshie 11:52, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on Talk:Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis. They are helpful and I have answered there. Peace Profound, Optim 05:09, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC) (?)

I appreciate your kind wisdom on talk:atheism, and I will take your advice. Jack 07:06, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I didn't get the impression that you thought that I had conducted myself incorrectly; Just making sure about the accuracy of the description of the contentious issues on the talk page. I try to hold myself to the standard of judging every edit for its worth, no matter who it is from. But I admit that it is a very hard thing to do, and I have failed often by judging edits based on who made them. --snoyes 05:46, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thank you, unfortunately it has much too little content due to my incessant Wikipedia editing. ;-) --snoyes 03:04, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Paid and paid. Thanks for the work! -- Matty j 03:52, Jan 29, 2004 (UTC)

Oops! I just reverted your deletion re David Cobb's announcement on the 2004 presidential election page by accident along with another revert. You suggested there might be compromise language. What was your objection to the entry I made? [[User:Mcarling|Mcarling}} 22:15, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• • lysdexia's reply: Non sequitur, science and religion must overlap and override. I rightly claim that no one can follow a religion without being a fundamentalist; otherwise, it's only part-religion-part-humanism. Religion and science make incompatible statements.

My reply: I can only guess that lysdexia hasn't followed a religion before—or perhaps science is hir religion. My religion is a tool for deeper introspection. The certainties which it provides to me have nothing (much) to do with the natural world, so I don't accept that this is a "right claim". I do hope, however, that lysdexia finds the answers that sie needs in hir life. - Scooter 07:21, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What do you mean by follow? I'm more likely to start one, though I intend not to. The natural and nonnatural worlds run together; they cannot be sundered. Scooter, what would you do if I did find the answers and it turns out they destroy yours? I have torn apart many "certainties" that people have had, from and in many backgrounds, and they could not fight back. Faith is not limited to the nonnatural; that is why it must either override or be overridden by science. Religion is not eschatology, spiritualism, or theology. You'd better review the meanings of those before you throw around pop words and call them your own. lysdexia 00:30, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Re: lysdexia's edits: I've been trying to keep an eye on this user's contributions; some of them appear to be motivated by a preference towards certain spelling or usage, even when that preference is at odds with generally-accepted standard English [1], or with basic human perception [2] [3]. Lysdexia has corrected many instances of genuinely wrong spelling or usage, for which (s)he should be commended, but the almost mechanical replacement of certain words with others ("their" with "one's", for instance) can lead to a significant alteration in meaning, as it did here. Adding rebuttals to user pages (instead of talk pages) seemed to be overstepping, but I thought I should leave it to you after I reverted it once. I think you handled it well. -- Wapcaplet 16:52, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your questions, the fact you've asked means at least one person read my candidate statement. :) I responded on my user page, since I thought other people might like to read it. You can find my response here

The 'Jesusland' maps are cool! However, I have a problem with the colors. You have the "United States of Canada" part colored as light coral or #F08080 and Jesusland as light green or #90EE90. (the colors are close guesses). Have you thought of putting the "United States of Canada" as 87CEFA (light blue)? It looks like this:

foo

Have you also thought of keeping the F08080 (light coral) color and using it for "Jesusland"? It looks like this:

bar

This would be keeping with the red state/blue state paradigm. Thanks! - Hoshie 12:19, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Hi Scooter!

I have begun the article on Triskelion - would you care to expand on it? Or you could send me (use the addy that I use for the Weasel Patrol) the stuff that you used to have on your website (you do have a back-up copy, I assume)? --Palnatoke 08:59, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, thanks. Obviously I was a bit wary of doing it. The information is on my Web page. - Scooter 17:16, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hey, there, Steve. Didn't know you were a fellow Wikipedian. I also added a bit to the triskelion page (quickie synopsis of some of the rules) and added a bit of linkage and other wikifying stuff. Sounds like a fast-moving game. Anyway, good to meet you (virtually) here as well as in politics. Deirdre 16:24, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 02:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for voting! Larix 16:14, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... "Scooter". Maryland. Soccer. Tea. Green politics. "Steve". Do the words "Port Colice" mean anything to you? Grutness...wha? 11:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC) (James in New Zealand)[reply]

One could add FOTW, if one wanted. --Palnatoke 09:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

looks like we're slowly taking over Wikipedia! :) Grutness...wha? 00:05, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could mention {{User FOTWer}} ... :-) --Palnatoke 09:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still at the embarrassment stage about it - there are far more worthy people that don't have articles yet, but apparently I was a redlink on several pages, so someone decided I needed an article. They seem to have used the "non-article" I wrote as a user subpage as a basis for it. I wondered if it was that article was about the same Steve Kramer... shouldn't you have {{Notable Wikipedian}} on the talk page of the article :)? Grutness...wha? 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I ended up taking it to AfD myself - I just wasn't sure I was notable enough. The vote was closer than I expected (5-3), but the general idea was "delete with no objection to re-creation later if I become more well-known", which is pretty much what I expected. Grutness...wha? 21:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:New map WEB.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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. Alex Spade 11:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jesusland map. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesusland map (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Joshua Quagmire has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Essentially an unreferenced BLP - the only thing with a reference is his name/birth year. In keeping with the developing consensus, please do not remove this tag unless you add sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of songs deemed the worst is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs deemed the worst until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JDDJS (talk) 20:23, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Stevekramer.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
