Images
Please consider uploading public domain images to Commons, from which they can be used on any of the Wikipedias. Do you need some help doing so? David.Monniaux 22:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Also, consider using shorter filenames and filing a description on the page for the rest of the stuff. David.Monniaux 22:04, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Definately consider shorter filenames, that or does your browser support tab completion or something? ;-) Kim Bruning 22:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Oh but like, before folks forget to mention: thank you very much for uploading images in the first place of course! :-) Kim Bruning 11:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for finding a picture for "Trial by combat!" -- Smerdis of Tlön 18:44, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed you create a few pages this afternoon which you've cut and pasted from other sources (uncredited). Whilst it is useful to have new content it really helps Wikipedia do its job properly if they are 'wikified' with appropriate links so that users can click between relevant articles. Similarly, there was already an article on the Post Office and you should always check first before creating new articles so that you can add content to the existing location rather than create something that might duplicate the work of others. In this case I've placed a redirect to the existing article as your page title was also mis-formatted. Welcome! --Vamp:Willow 16:50, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
"The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction"
You can add text from out of copyright sources, but please note the original source and make sure the material is useful, encyclopedic, and NPOV. Gamaliel 19:52, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The assertions of a lot of these nineteenth century antiquarians whose works you draw on need to be taken with a pinch of salt. I have reverted your edits to Stone circle as the original scholarship is not sound. adamsan 19:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- You have lifted full paragraphs from Gutenberg sources into [[Thomas Moore], Blackheath, London, Signature, Christmas, Naples without attribution. You also leave all of your edits as "minor" and leave no edit summaries. Additionally, your comments in the Wikipedia talk:Vandalism in progress/Willy on Wheels page are unconstructive. All of these indicate trolling to me. I will be reverting your edits that look like copyvio right now. You can dispute this on their respective talk pages. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:41, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
Body, Cognition and Senses
Re: your edit summary concerning my removal of BCS at CSB. I maybe should've taken it to Talk but I did that earlier. As for your comparison of Xed and EntmOT, I should've said that EntmootsOfTrolls is hard banned (see User:EntmootsOfTrolls/ban) for making death threats, among other things, whereas Xed is banned for three months due to uncivility. But that's not the most important thing; the crucial difference is that BCS is an inactive one-man project, whereas CSB has had a number of active participants from the very beginning (including Jmabel, Filiocht, Trilobite, Solitude, and ChrisG cf. User:Xed/CROSSBOW). So I still don't see the use of listing it at 'similar projects'.
Don't get me wrong — I'm actually quite intrigued by the ideas behind BCS. It's just that I don't think that this one-man project is ever going to work; it would require Wikipedia being turned upside down and that's just impossible to accomplish. My view on BCS is that it is a brave attempt to part with the current paradigm/worldview — an attempt however which is doomed to fail precisely because of the current paradigm/worldview of 99% of Wikipedia's contributors. — mark ✎ 20:34, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- So, what are your reasons to list this particular project on 'Similar projects' at Countering Systemic Bias? — mark ✎ 00:51, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Welcome back
Hello, Recycling Troll, welcome back. Have fun stalking me. RickK 22:56, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
Minor edits
You've been marking some of your edits as minor lately that aren't e.g. [1] [2] Generally the minor edit button is for correcting spellings, or formatting etc. Adding, removing information, should not be marked as minor. Cheers Theresa Knott (ask the rotten) 08:20, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Interwikis
Hello Pwqn, please make sure that the interwikis work. In some of your edits, the links to for example the french wiki didn't work anymore after your edits. Regards. --Alcidebava 13:00, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hell Mary Hill
Hi! I was looking through the Sheffield page and I found your article on Hell Mary Hill. Can you tell me more about this place? I lived in Sheffield for over twenty years and have studied the local history and geography and I have never heard of it? Thanks, JeremyA 05:06, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
De-adminship
I reverted your change because the prior wording was more accurate. I also note that your edit summary was misleading. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 18:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for removing the pseudoscience category from the Holistic Science page. I'm also trying to garner support for removing the "merge with holism" tag. I think the case for removing it is clear-cut: holism can be pursued with no regard for science whatsoever AND a page on the application of holism to science is justified. Obviously, the page still needs a lot of work, but that has no bearing on the validity of the article's existence separate from Holism. Until now, however, there are only two of us working on the page, i.e. me and one skeptic who is insisting that the merge tag s/he put in be kept. Any contribution you can make to the Holistic science talk page in favor of removing the merge tag will be appreciated. The same applies for any improvements you can make to the page itself! --Smithfarm 11:10, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
