Lol Thanks for the vandal on my page. I do not merit a npa2/3 slap on my talk page and at the top at that! I forgive you dude.

Subic Rape Case

Hey, Lenticel here. Though I am very interested in the Subic rape case article, I do not like to edit it. I usually avoid controversial topics since I might get too passionate in editing. However I would supply you with some references that might be interesting.

Imago (band)

Maybe they are notable, but the article just said "Imago is a band" (etc) with no assertion of notability. We get a lot of such articles and they get deleted without question per the criteria for speedy deletion A7. I'll restore it for you so you can add the notability bits.

Howdy--the article could use a little sprucing up but I think it's fine for now. About the other matters, I hope you don't mind if I take a look in a few days. I'm feeling a little wiki-burnout.

"References" vs. "External links" vs. "Footnotes/Notes"

Hi. The reason I've changed the "References" / "Footnotes" subheads at Superhero comes from these sections of Wikipedia:Cite_sources, quoted verbatim below. (Please note in Item 2 below that the italics are theirs, and not inserted by me.) Thanks!

1)

Maintaining a separate "References" section in addition to "Notes" or "Footnotes

It is helpful when non-citation footnotes are used that a "References" section also be maintained, in which the sources that were used are listed in alphabetical order. With articles that have lots of footnotes, it can become hard to see after a while exactly which sources have been used, particularly when the footnotes also contain explanatory text. A References section, which contains only citations, helps readers to see at a glance the quality of the references used.

Re Imago albums

Hello! I noticed your work on Imago and would like to suggest improvements on the article. In particular, about the album. There is a separate Wikiproject for albums, and there are some suggested guidelines on how to make an article out of an album. I recommend doing this just in case Imago (and other Pinoy bands) plan to release more albums...this will keep the band's article's size manageable. Just let me know if you need help on this. Thanks! --- Tito Pao 04:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

US Electoral college

I'll add some more to it in the near future, but to answer your question as to why the US uses this system is a bit complicated. The short version is that it is designed to provide a balance between populous states and those with a small population (Texas gets a bazillion while Alaska gets 3). This gives even small states a large say in how the government is run; if it was run exclusively by population, candidates would only run in the most populous states. in addition, there was a fear amongst our founding fathers that a popular vote could permit a charlatan to get elected by decieving the "common man." This system puts in place a buffer between the people and the office by having the voters in the electoral college vote at a later date and are permitted to change their mind about whom their vote goes for (a.k.a. faithless voter). I hope this explains things. Hit my talk page if you have any more questions. BQZip01 07:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm forgot to answer your exact question. The popular vote in the US means nothing other than who got how many votes total. It is not unusual for the President to get less than half of the popular vote (as a matter of fact, historically, it is unusual for a President to get more than 50% of the votes.) BQZip01 07:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Am I right in understanding that each state has one electoral college vote, and that the state vote is determined by the majority of electoral college members vote?" - No. Each state has a minimum of 3 electoral college votes: 1 for each member of the Senate (2 total) and 1 for each of their representatives in the House of Representatives (1 minimum, but up to 53 for the state of California). This ensures that each state has a voice (all states in the US are sovreign entities in and of themselves) and the population has a voice. With the exceptions of Maine and Nebraska, all of the electoral votes of a state go to the one with the most votes received in that state. For example: if Candidate A gets 2,000,000 votes in California and Candidate B gets 1,999,999, Candidate A gets all 55 electoral votes. To further illustrate my point, let's say Candidate A gets just enough states to win 270 electoral votes (and thus the election) and wins each state by one vote, but Candidate B gets the rest of the states with 100% of the vote. Candidate B clearly got more votes than Candidate A, however, Candidate A did not get enough STATES to vote for him/her. This ensures that the rights of individual states are also represented in the Presidential system. Likewise, in the US Senate, each state, no matter how small or large. gets the same number of votes. Each state's population is represented in the House of Representatives where the number of representatives is apportioned by population (California with the largest, Alaska (and others)with the least). I hope that explains it. If so, please pass it on. I know it can be confusing, but it is our system and I think more people would be accepting of it and wouldn't cry "Bush stole the election" if they knew basic facts of our electoral system.

Hey

I'm visiting Bohol this summer. Any suggestions what places or sights I must go to aside from Chocolate Hills and Tarsiers? Berserkerz Crit 10:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. It depends on what you feel like doing? snorkelling, kayaking, river cruise, mountain climbing, spelunking, sleeping, ballroom dancing, sing along, chatting, shopping, antiques. etc...anything! and whatever you like. Send me an email I will send you pics of the places you can go to: Panglao Island is a must, dolphin/whale watching, Pamilacan island, Balicasag island, Hinagdanan caves, well read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Bohol. Let me know if you need help with hotel reservations as well as a good tourist guide or what! But we can arrange it ourselves. I can give you a suggested one...Also a good personal guide...pili ka lang: student o teacher, congressman o gov? hehehehehe --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 07:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, what are the specific dates? Holy Week? BBC is the best choice! You couldn't be in any other paradise! It is in Panglao town of Panglao Island. Please note that the owner of BBC, Anos Fonacier, is also the one of the top guys of the Philippine Tarsier Foundation. So, make sure you get in contact with him, too. So, are you doing the Chocolate Hills and Philippine Tarsier by yourself? The BBC can arrange the site visits for you, but will entail additional expense. If it is not Holy Week, I can arrange for some cool guys and gals (?) to meet you and take you around for a special feel of our island nation hehehe, as well as a taste of night life Bohol-style. (Let me know age-range preferences! hehehe I am serious!). Well, it wouldn't hurt to say Hi to the congressmen, even through txt messages. (Email me for specific details!). As for the shops, they are all over the place! The cheap ones will be in the old Torralba market, the Cogon Market, Agora and Dao (Satellite City) markets. There are also souvenir shops outside of the Hinagdanan cave, as well as along the Loboc River (Cruise) and Chocolate hills, but understandably with marked up touristy prices. The new and modern mall is the Island City Mall. Pics are in the article on Bohol. Let me hear from you more... --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 07:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please send me an email through Wikipedia Email (since your wikipedia email is disabled!) because I have some important info, contact info, too, for Bohol...in your most convenient time, of course. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pinay06 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Flip

Well, ako ang sumulat noon. What do you want to know exactly? --Chris S. 00:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the long delay. Flip is kind of like Pinoy - and it's preferred among the younger crowd (under 40). It has never been used to denigrate Filipinos in any way - I don't know how it can be offensive. Those "legends" (like the Fucking Little Island People one) are fabrications. --Chris S. 18:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The term is mostly relegated to the Filipinos in North America. Those in the Philippines don't like it much for some reason. It's quite common here. There's an online store whose booth I saw at Seattle's Pista sa Nayon celebration last year called [www.cafepress.com/flipsidegear Flipside gear]. And there's references to it in books. There was even an independent movie called The Flip Side. --Chris S. 03:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Undid section removal on Deathly Hallows talk page

Just wanted to let you know why I undid your removal of a section on Talk:Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows. We all recognize that the talk page is not a forum; that small section was merely a discussion to verify info that might plausibly be pertinent to the article, which is perfectly acceptable on a talk page - in fact, one of the things the page is tere for. But more importantly, editing/removing other peoples entries on a talk page is against WP policy - see WP:TALK#Others.27_comments for more. If you want, you can post there pointing out that this is not a forum, but that would only serve to further propagate a thread which is likely not going to see further discussion. I suppose you could seek admin assistance, if you feel real strongly about it, though. --Reverend Loki 16:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to point out that a few hours before that section appeared on the talk page, I reverted a seven/six edit to the article.[1] I am guessing that this section may have been started to seek clarification on why that revert was made. Another user left a message on my talk page seeking clarification.[2][3] There's also been a few other editors who have made the same edit and had it reverted.

My point is, an editor's potentially asked for info on why their edits are reverted on the article talk page - so why should we delete the answer to their questions? I don't necessarily agree with where that particular discussion went - about soul anchors and interpretation and whatever - that's veering into fan theory and OR. But if someone says "there were seven, not six, right?" and we keep our reply to, say, what dposse posted, or a page reference, I don't see how removing it from the talk page accomplishes anything useful. If anything I would suggest at least merging/inserting it into the article as a hidden comment to prevent future problems. And even if we do that, we may still need to leave a detailed reference on why it's incorrect on the talk page. Daggoth S 08:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No probs. :) I'm actually wondering if we can clean that section somehow - I think simply stating a page ref on DD's speech, where he says six and not seven, would be enough to cover the question without going into the finer details made by Reverend and Tuvas. But I haven't been here long enough to determine if cleaning up talk pages like that is acceptable or not. Probably not. :) Daggoth S 08:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In all honesty, I was willing to let it go after someone else removed the section, but then I saw that someone had to revert a 7/6 edit (I assume it was Daggoth S, but I'm not going back to check), so returned it. You are right, we did get a little a far of field, but we weren't applying the same diligence as for article info there. I'm thinking it's getting near time to archive it again anyways. It would be nice to keep something about there being only 6 horcruxes on the talk page. I'm thinking that we should gather some of the more oft-repeated edits and setup a small section to go near the top of the talk page, save some trouble. Eh, rambling now. Ayways, keep up the good work. --Reverend Loki 16:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Berserkerz Crit. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Citilogo.gif) was found at the following location: User talk:Berserkerz Crit. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 21:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the message you gave me; I noticed the problem era is in the Bohol template pasted on your tapge. The specific message is at User_talk:Berserkerz_Crit#Thank_you.21. Because the image is tagged as fair use, and it is outside of the article space, all instances were removed from that page and you got the message because it was listed on your userpage. You are not in trouble, but I will talk to Pinay and see if she can stop using that image in the template (or if the PH seals need to be given some new tag of sorts).

Re: Fair use

I appreciate your effort in the various IfD discussions but you really need to brush up on your IP knowledge. Your comment that there is no infringement because a picture is of a small size and of a low resolution, among other comments of yours is not correct. Any copying whatsoever (even if you resize the image or provide low resolution or thumbnails) is a copyright infringement. The copyright holder has the sole right in matters of copying that's why it's called copyright. Licenses are a means of letting users of the IP copy without infringement. So basically any copying, no matter how small, that is not explicitly permitted by the copyright holder is copyright infringement.

This means that to copy anything, you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder. Now, there are certain types of copyright infringement that is allowed without having to obtain the copyright holder's permission. This is called Fair use. Take note that all instances of fair use is copyright infringement. Got that? So all the three Pinoy IfD is really copyright infringement. What we're arguing is that those infringing uses are likely to be called fair use when challenged in court (nobody can conclusively say what is fair use except the courts).

We are not all lawyers, but some of your comments are not helping. I hope you can study more about Fair use and other related topics so that we can argue our case convincingly. --seav 04:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because we're not hampering on the copyright holder's ability to sell or commercially use his photo still does not mean that our use is fair use. We are actually following all of the fair-use criteria in Wikipedia except for the significance criteria (aka NFCC#8). Their point that just because the photo depicts an important event does not mean that we can already use that photo to illustrate an article on the event is a very valid point in fair use discussions. So were trying to argue now that the articles are significantly less understandable or meaningful without those images. --seav 16:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Hardy Men

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Hardy Men, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Hardy Men is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Hardy Men, 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.

Kenophobia

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Kenophobia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 05:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Kenophobia

An editor has nominated Kenophobia, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kenophobia and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Sex and the City (film)

I have nominated Sex and the City (film), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sex and the City (film). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Save-Me-Oprah ^(talk) 01:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
