Re:VWXYZ series
This page has already been listed on AFD, and so will be deleted. Please contribute in a more constructive manner. Setokaiba✌≝ 13:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
If you wanted to talk to me, you could have done so on User:24.87.43.26's talk page as clearly stated on my user page. (Iuio 00:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC))
Templates
Could you please stop making templates, and could you please stop re-creating deleted content. You're welcome to edit the encyclopedia, but we really don't need a separate "This user reads ... " for each amendment of the Constitution. Templates are for helping to write the encyclopedia, not for the use of single people to make dozens and then link to them from their userpage. Everything you did in template space you could have just done in your userspace. Actually, that would've been much preferable. Remember, Template: namespace is not userspace. --Cyde Weys 23:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
The Adam Savage image
Please refrain from adding fair-use images to your userpage. This is not allowed, per WP:FUC. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've protected your user page until you stop reinserting this image, as it isn't allowed. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I'll stop inserting the Adam Savage image into my user page. Now unprotect it. (Iuio 06:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC))
- Fair enough. Unprotected. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- No hard feelings? (Iuio 07:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC))
- I don't ever take intarweb drama seriously. I understand why you got irritated; it's one of those rules that sucks. If you still want an image, I suggest tracking down a free image of Adam Savage; we could use one for the Adam Savage article, and you could use a free image on your userpage. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Paul Franklin (soldier), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Fsotrain09 19:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- The links to the notability guidelines, as well as WP:BIO are good places to start looking for ways in which the article can better assert the subject's notability. -Fsotrain09 19:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- I did read your reason, but I had no idea that the article was previously created/deleted either, until you told me. I don't really know what to tell you, except that a)a case for speedy deletion is much stronger when dealing with recreated content, and b)the subject itself does not appear to meet WP:BIO, so probably little can be done for notability even if the requisite sources are referenced. As for the anon. comments on the Talk page, yes, they aren't very helpful, but as they don't cross the line into personal attacks against you, (last I checked), I don't feel comfortable removing them. -Fsotrain09 02:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Seal of the United States Senate
There's been some back and forth edits on what graphic should be used as the Seal of the United States Senate in the United States Senate article. In order to resolve the disagreement, I'm trying to start some discussion on the issue on the article's talk page. Since you're one of the editors that has edited the Senate article in regards to the Seal graphic, I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you want to weigh in. Thanks. - Walkiped (T | C) 06:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Don't look like a vandal. Please provide an edit summary when you edit.
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Will (Talk - contribs) 21:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- This message was applied to your talk page because you left the summary out of at least one edit. As for which edit, since the templates available to me don't provide a way for me to list which one, I suggest you check your contribs.
- I normally check the edit summary before deciding whether or not to wait on the diff to load (which takes a lot of time). I feel I must load the diff if no summary is provided. When you provide that summary, you speed up my patrol because I feel more comfortable skipping the diff load. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually, it's the connection that's slow. Besides, I would still insist on doing something. Will (Talk - contribs) 20:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks - I'll go ahead and add my name but I only watch it once in a while. Since one of my article nominations was a USCOTW, I thought I should help in the process. Sorry about not archiving. Since I don't check it very often, it wasn't until January when I looked at switching it. Since there were not that many nominations, I didn't feel too bad about giving it a little longer on the COTW. Morphh (talk) 01:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
