Welcome to my page, if you have in issues that you would like to discuss with me, please post below.

Information

No words can explain what or who I am. Draw your own conclusions. Some think I'm a very sad, lonely individual who spends too much time on the net. Actually, I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't take that view.

File:New Libary, Night1.jpg

I took this picture myself, developed it myself, and put it on Wikipedia myself. It is a photo of the new libary building at the University of Lincoln.

yukon legislature

What's the deal here, fella? Why do wish to see the seating plan of this legislature deleted. If you didn't notice, most of the other provinces have a seating plan for thier legislatures. BC, Alb, Sask, Ont, the House of Commons & Senate, and a soon to see Manitoba. I had to send away to the Yukon to get this plan, and so please leave a reson or take off the tag.

LDV Vans Trophy image

Hello. Do you have source and copyright information for Image:LDV Vans.jpg which you just uploaded? I've marked it as {{unverified}} at the moment. Thanks. --rbrwr^± 11:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

==Image Tagging Image:LDV Vans.jpg==

Thanks for uploading Image:LDV Vans.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Nv8200p (talk) 15:21, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Er, yeah. Regarding Image:Lincoln v Boston 002.jpg, I'm the copyright holder because I took that picture. Not you. And I didn't actually give my permission to use it... Just because I'm your brother and it's on the computer... Sheesh.

Animal Crossing:Wild World

I'm the one that added the trivia about Apollo being named after the space ships and I appreciate you adding all the extra stuff to what I wrote, but Apollo isn't a bald eagle. That's what I thought when I first saw him too. If you own the AC:WW player's guide look at the part where it shows pictures of all the animals and their names. It is in alphabetical order of animal species (ant-eaters, bears, birds, etc). If Apollo, Amelia, and Pierce are eagles or bald eagles they would be in the 'E' or 'B' section. They are listed after ostriches(O) and before Penguins(P), which means whatever species they are starts with the letter 'P'. That means they must be parrots. Thefreakshow 16:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tin-steo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tin-steo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Icons.com

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Icons.com, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --DeLarge 11:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

2007 CECAFA Cup

Hello. My only source for the later rounds is goalzz.com, which indicates the quarterfinal, semifinal and third place and final matches are all single elimination matches.

File copyright problem with File:New Libary, Night1.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:New Libary, Night1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 09:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Nintendo DS, electroplankton.JPG

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
