Hi there. Can you explain your reasoning behind removing so many articles from the Category:Lists of films? That category seems to be a reasonable size to me. If the category was getting overfull then a better idea might be to create subcategories. But, to me, even if the category was very large, removing articles from the category is not a good idea, the articles belong in the category, so why remove them? Qutezuce 03:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello, All the items I removed were placed in subcategories of the 'Lists of Films category'.
All Lists of films by language were moved to 'Films by Language', which I had made a subcategory of Lists of Films.
All Films by City or Country were moved to 'Category:Lists of films based on Location', which is also now a subcategory of Lists of films.
True it wasn't overly large, but it was taking up 2 pages when I started, which makes it more difficult to peruse.

Redirects
[edit]Please don't put {{4CC}} or other disambiguation page templates into an abbreviational redirect page, as you did for NCHS and WFMH. There is {{R from abbreviation}} for that. Also, any templates in a redirect must be on the first line - see the list of templates for use in redirect pages for more information. Thanks!

Philly meetup
[edit]Hi! There will be a Wikipedia Meetup in Philadelphia on 4 November. If you're interested in coming, RSVP by editing Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia 2 to reflect the likelihood of your being able to attend. If you have any questions, feel free to ask CComMack's. Hopefully, we'll all see you (and each other) on the 4th! --evrik 19:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Caca
[edit]No it is not. WP:NOT is quite clear about dictionary definitions. Furthermore, WP:MOSDAB, which is actually more applicable here, has a section explicitly advising not to include dictionary definitions on disambiguation pages. For that, we have Wiktionary, and caca already has a link to it. Please let me know if you have further questions.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Death threat
[edit]
An article that you have been involved in editing, Death threat, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death threat. Thank you.
- Come now, George; contrary to what you implied in your edit summary, my post here was not vandalism. It could be argued that it wasn't constructive, since it was really just a poke in the ribs to keep you from getting too serious about my light-hearted mockery of the Death threat article. Let's not get too dramatic, okay? -Eric (talk) 22:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Silent Coup.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Silent Coup.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 19:01, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

What to believe
[edit]While I totally agree with you that talk pages are not the place for debate on the issue, let alone drivel, I re-inserted the ideots stuff, as wikipedia shouldn't be censored on talk pages. Larklight (talk) 20:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll just wait and see what other people think. It just seems that type (and amount!) of material should be on his user pages. --George100 (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Politicization of Science
[edit]Dear George100,
This entry represents some of my core thinking over the past twenty years of my life as a secondary science educator and a graduate student. Ultimately it has been quite well regarded. Do you understand what I am saying? Can you give me clear examples of extreme POV?
I refuse to be called an evolutionist or a proponent of intelligent design. Instead, I claim to be a voice for stark intellectual honesty.
Do you believe that evolutionary theory, absent a theistic tradition, would be presented so forcefully to young minds or effectively placed beyond falsifiability?
My point is not that ID is valid, but that evolution as we are required to present it in the classroom, amounts to junk science in itself. That dissenting opinions (by experts) and a body of contrary evidence may not be presented, and that this has resulted from a legal ruling, is a great example of the other side of this issue. In both cases, science is politicized--and I really believe that we are all the worse for it.
I will gladly consider incorporating any suggestions you may have for me. I am glad to modify my entry to adhere to the standards of Wikipedia. Sincerely, Scseig (talk) 22:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I will discuss this on the article's talk page --George100 (talk) 15:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
You posted a clean up note on the article. Could you please explain me what's wrong with it?

Footnotes missing. I did not write the died penniless sentence, but each and every essay on him available to me says this. (P. S. : Am to dumb to write footnote/ the guardian article begins with his death). Why does the link to el magazine not work? It did when I wrote it. And el has the covers of his regency paperbacks...Is it too pornographic?--Radh (talk) 17:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, it requires a "references" tag, I've updated it. It's explained in Wikipedia:Footnotes.
- The El magazine link was probably updated since you added it, they may have moved or deleted it. --George100 (talk) 18:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- I see that Earl Kemp' s-site' s links are also dead. You are right about footnotes, I also hate long textes without any references. --Radh (talk) 18:59, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Just noticed that he is called "an american author". Now, who would have guessed that? It is not allowed in w to call jewish bankers jewish, but is afro-american also tabu? Or call him Detroit writer or something, Junkie writer, lumpenproletarian writer, crime novelist, black power advocate...--Radh (talk) 05:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nationality is commonly used to identify people, and there is a category Jewish American writers. Sometimes there is a controversy over how people should be identified. --George100 (talk) 07:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- It is a bit empty to call someone an american writer? On the other hand what would he and James Baldwin or Ralph Ellison have in common? Perhaps Detroit crime writer or afroamerican Detroit crime writer? But it really is not that important I guess--11:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radh (talk • contribs)
- Note: the eI magazine reference was 1 letter off - it's the letter "I", not "L" (diff) --George100 (talk) 10:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, thats it, I must be going blind and stupid at the same time, but I thought I had controlled it at the beginning, sorry. Just seen it, thanks This Earl Kemp fanzine is a bit cheesy, but it is nice to see the covers.--Radh (talk) 14:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed that you put the advertisement tag on the Ric Edelman article a while back. I have now done a complete rewrite of the article because I agree with you about it previously looking like an ad. The new article is still very much a stub, so if you're interested please help expand it. Cheers, Sarnalios (talk) 23:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Disambiguous Atom Smasher (disambiguation)
[edit]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Atom Smasher (disambiguation), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Atom Smasher (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Atom Smasher (disambiguation), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

intro to quantum mechanics radically altered
[edit]Hi,
A new editor has unilaterally made many drastic changes to the article Introduction_to_quantum_mechanics to which you have made contributions. I do not think that the changes are desirable. I do not want to start an edit war. Could you please have a look at it? Thanks. P0M (talk)
Data model
[edit]Hi, your removal of the first image in the data model article, reminded me that the image had to be redrawn and the caption had to be improved. So I did both an readded the image (with the data modelling part highlighted), because I do think this image is particularly appropriate in that article. It gives an overview of both the data modelling process, and the context of enterprise modelling. If you don't agree, please let me know here. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

History section deleted from article about Meetup.com
[edit]Noticed the latest edit to the article about Meetup.com was HelgeStenstrom deleting the entire History section. On the article's talk page Helge said Helge deleted section because of the "This article or section reads like a news release ..." tag on the section. Thought you should know because you have edited the article in the past. --EarthFurst (talk) 22:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, that is a major deletion. I guess it really should be re-written, though. --George100 (talk) 18:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Logan Talk Contributions 03:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Note that I had split the article from these edits of The Social Animal article. I have copied the deletion notice to the original editor's page. --George100 (talk) 04:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
