About Colin Mochrie

I am not exactly sure when it first aired. I think I seen it in 2004 though. He played the man owning a steamroller and he ran down a guy in a New York Fries costume, and when he went by, it showed the new york fries logo smushed into the pavement. You can't expce3 much with me being really young, and bad memory. and my cheesy excuses... By the way, I'm a Canadian too. Saskatchewan. Where you can see your dog run away from home for a week. Sorry I can't do much more for the Colin Mochrie Article, but I can confirm it's happened. SBKT 19:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Archon X Prize‎

Hi Clerks. I don't know how to email you, so I'll respond here with this note and you can scrub it after you've read it. I follow this area closely. FYI The two cited documents on the accuracy requirement ARE in conflict. Both should be authoritative; however, clearly one has a typo. Dr. George Church, senior prof. at Harvard, a founder of the Human Genome Project, (and apparently a Wikipedian), made the change from 10,000 to 100,000. That was reverted, and that I re-reverted. Whether Dr. Church sits on the Archon X-Prize Board is unclear since he may well be one of those whose team will compete for the prize. In any case I am inclined to think that Dr. Church does know what the correct number is. And so I'll go with him as 1:100,000 for the correct number. Frankatca 04:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Griffin Poetry Prize

Hi Clerks. The Griffin Trust's only official logo is the red gryphon of the Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry, which administers the Griffin Poetry Prize. The Poetry icon which you are fond of (and it is a nice icon, indeed) is a promotional graphic that the Griffin Trust has used for the past few years, but it doesn't officially represent the prize or the organization. In fact, the Griffin Trust does not use the Poetry piece in isolation *without* the red gryphon, on their Web site, in print, etc. The Poetry icon was not used at the Trust's inception, and it might not necessarily be used in future. Leave it on the page if it's important to you, but if the Griffin Trust dispenses with its use in future or replaces it with something else, they might wish to replace the graphic with either the official red gryphon or something else.

Bagan (Godzilla)

Bagan (Godzilla) wasn't really a speedy deletion candidate for nonsense. The article didn't read very well, but looking at the history, there were two edits that significantly degraded the article. I reverted those edits and removed the speedy delete tag. I would suggest checking the history of an article to make sure it's really nonsense and that there isn't already a good version to revert to.

The article probably still needs some cleanup and referencing, but there are always cleanup tags for that. (See Jet Jaguar for an example of the cleanup tags. Also see Jet Jaguar for an example of a Godzilla-era hero that's just a little too silly to be believable.) --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 15:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Layout fixes

I'm aware that the spaces are immaterial. I never change pages merely to change the whitespace in section headings. I do however tend to make the whitespace'ing consistent. I have opted to always remove them instead of always using a space. It's a matter of personal preference but I have also noticed that articles tend to a certain style as they mature. The spaces in section headings seem (on average) to disappear with longer, more edited articles. It's a good thing too as it makes the source "look cleaner".

Just to be explicit, my "layout" fixes, are changing the ordering of sections to match the layout guidelines. Any whitespace clean-up is just something extra I did while doing that. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Gift of the Woodi until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Sottolacqua (talk) 17:53, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Jwillisambrose medal.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jwillisambrose medal.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:37, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Free rationale for File:Logan Medal.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Logan Medal.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Ccc-choir.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of Adam Hunter (comedian)

The article Adam Hunter (comedian) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't appear to meet WP:ENT or WP:GNG

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{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.
