User talk:J. Finkelstein/Archive/1
I think you've made a good start with the article, particularly the pruning and whacking of excess information. It already looks better. Joyous | Talk 21:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC) Coincidence editCool! :) Yeah, I do a lot of disambig cleanup, as it is seriously needed on many articles and I also try to help out AID whenever I can. You edits to Homer are great. I honestly think the article should be rewritten from scratch by some Simpson fan with citations to its episodes in a reference section. I'm surprised there aren't more interested editors though. :( Anyway, keep up the good work. GfloresTalk 00:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC) Hey, I was wondering if you could drop by and give this article another look. I noticed that you recently made some changes to image placement in the article but they were reverted by User:WAS 4.250. I also tried to make some changes and was promptly reverted by him. I was wondering if you could take a look at the talk page and then at my version and see if there is a version you agree with or if there are any modifications that you would find beneficial. Thanks. --Hetar 03:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC) Substrate editJ., I don't know exactly you think I did wrong on the substrate (disambig) page? You will have to give me an example.--Sadi Carnot 03:23, 6 April 2006 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot editSuggestBot 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 07:15, 15 April 2006 (UTC) Please reconsider. (Middleware Analysts) editHi Jeffrey, I appreciate your effort on MA article, however, you took a four-page, information packed page and turned it into a four-sentence stub. Please put back some of the information you cut out. If you don't like the way it was worded, reword it. If you think it should not be there, begin a discussion about it on the talk page. But you are not supposed to butcher an article without discussion first. Please re-compose the article, then begin a discussion about the parts you don't like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.249.176.251 (talk) 18:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC) Thanks! (RC patrol useboxes) editThanks for figuring out how to format that page! I had a hunch that tables would be the answer, but I've only used those once before and I'm not very familiar with them seeing as I did little more than just copying and pasting someone else's punnett square table. That, and I needed sleep too much to keep experimenting, lol. I didn't actually make that userbox (though I considered making one before I found that one on someone else's userpage), so I can't take credit for that, but I'll take credit for thinking to put it on the RC patrol page. Thanks again for making it look good there! --Icarus 22:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks! editThanks for fixing that ref on the LACMTA article. That thing drove me nuts - I guess I should have copied it into Notepad or something to make sure that there weren't any line breaks. - Hbdragon88 04:43, 26 April 2006 (UTC) String quartets by composer template editWhy don't you be bold and update it yourself? Hyacinth 19:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC) Metastub sortkey... editReplied here. Alai 07:03, 1 May 2006 (UTC) Your Page editYour page is very complicated. Mine is very simple. I'm confused. DoorFrame 23:59, 4 May 2006 (UTC) In reference to Medicine in Ancient Greece editSeeing that the sixth vote came a few minutes too late, I took the liberty of nominating the article to Wikipedia:Medicine_Collaboration_of_the_Week. I believe there it will have a better treatment. --Francisco Valverde 15:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC) Songs out of Context editI totally agree with you that some songs shouldn't be taken out of their spot inside of an album (I hate when my Ipod plays songs in a complete album out of order). You mentioned the Beatles Something about taking it out of Abbey Road, which for me isn't as much of a problem because the Beatles weren't truly album oriented, but had more singles instead. But what really bothers me is when it happens with concept albums like The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Quadrophenia, and In the Court of the Crimson King. So don't feel like your the only one that thinks that. I also just can't stand modern bands that sell singles. That really bugs me. Anyway, I'm glad for your input. RENTA Re-created image editThanks for your interest in helping out. I think that different colors, fonts, and other details should make it acceptable as information can't be copyrighted. We want it to be considered a creative work and not a derivative work. Warmest regards --Neutralitytalk 22:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC) Article replace editThanks for putting the original article back, I did not have a saved version to do that. Ve3 07:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC) About your apology editAnd I owe you one. I just noticed that you're a member of the Esperanza project. As such, I'll have to allow that your inquiry may have been occasioned by a genuine desire to be helpful. Didn't mean to stomp on you with both feet (sorry for that) -- just to let you know that your presumptions were way off the mark and not appreciated. But your good intentions are. Peace 2 u. deeceevoice 20:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC) Thank You... edit...for your birthday well-wishes! That was very much appreciated. {{Smile}}  Mailer Diablo has smiled at you!

Mandelbrot set editI notice you placed a wikify tag on Mandelbrot set. Apart from the style issue that you mentioned in your edit comment, do you have any other specific reasons for tagging the article ? If so, perhaps you can list them on the article's talk page. Your concerns are much more likely to be addressed if other contributors can see exactly what they are. Thanks. Gandalf61 08:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
A short Esperanzial update editAs you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter. As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections. Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Napoleonic Fiction editIf you would like to join the Napoleonic Fiction Wikiproject then just click on the link.

--Nadir D Steinmetz 00:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Local_Band_Does_OKlahoma.png edit Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Local_Band_Does_OKlahoma.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 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. MECU≈talk 18:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC) First Edit Day edit
