Re: Indiana Jones

Indy fought in Belgium during World War I during the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles show. Video games and comics attest to him being a CIA agent during WW2, although he was eligible for the draft. But anyway, he was a WW1 soldier. Alientraveller (talk) 07:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

image rationales

Rationales on image pages need to be separate from one another. I fixed the change you made. [1]--Rockfang (talk) 17:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Dodge ram srt10 streetrecord.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dodge ram srt10 streetrecord.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Category:Succession header templates

Your idea to create this category is so good that I wonder how I hadn't thought it myself before. :-D Thank you very much for your trouble, Mr Dolomite—you should know that it is very much appreciated. If you are interested in succession boxes in general, then there is the right place to offer your services; if not, it has been a pleasure to meet you and I hope to see you again some time. Waltham, The Duke of 06:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

(moved from User talk:The Duke of Waltham) Thank you for the note. Its nice to get a positive comment on ones talk page instead of a nasty bot warning of some sort :) I was being a bit WP:BOLD, but I figured if I was having trouble figuring out which ones were headers and which were other bits, other editors may be also. I haven't removed anything from Category:Succession templates though, I did not want to mess up any existing organization. — MrDolomite • Talk 06:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I like to keep discussions whole. :-)

I think you've done well to keep the initial category whole; the templates are still succession templates, and it is probably best to keep them all together. There are grounds for removing them from the parent category, but then there would be too few representatives of the s- series left; if we get to (re)move the rest from there, it might be a more acceptable solution, I think. I haven't really thought about it, to be honest. Waltham, The Duke of 07:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

PS: I am not sure it is a good idea to use templates for section headings. I cannot link to it. Waltham, The Duke of 07:22, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:List of members of the Hockey Hall of Fame

The article used to contain such a list, but it was decided that it belonged more at the main article for the Hall of Fame, since it is for general information and the members list is just a list of members. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't understand your message

Hello MrDolomite:

I had a message from you regarding an edit at the Mildred Thompson page. Has something to do with a barnstar? I am new to all of this and really don't know what the barnstar is all about. I think it is a "good job" sort of message from the person who complimented my editing of Mildred Thompson. ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glassnote (talk • contribs) 18:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear MrDolomite: I'm glad you noticed the improvement. I can't get around to this for another week or so (Have to earn a living, and will be where internet is a real problem), but if you take a look at the two books and the two dispatches in the External links, these are tremendous sources. Nice job on you editing. Happy weekend. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC) Stan

Fair-use Images...

That may be true... And I will give consideration to a possible change in strategy. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which, care to do some updating of some links here : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20070710103408&limit=500&contribs=user&target=ShakespeareFan00&namespace=6

Basicly attribution to Wizards of The Coast should ideally be updated to Wizards of the Coast (now Hasbro) to reflect the current status of WoC.. ?

Underscores in redirects

You updated Internet Speculative Fiction Database to change the redirect to use underscores instead of spaces. In looking at WP:R I'm not sure why you did this. Thanks for doing the edit though as I'd been wondering if redirects should use spaces or _ and your edit motivated me to go look at the manual where I see all of the examples use spaces.

I just looked at your home page and see that the General of the Armies topic is still active. That's a great find at http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/juris/j0210_67.sgml --Marc Kupper|talk 07:09, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

6 star rank

What appears to be a sockpuppet created 6 star rank and presumably the puppetmaster has taken over editing. My first inclination is AfD as it's a speculative rank but maybe you know something about this project that I've missed. --Marc Kupper|talk 00:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Nope, I have never seen any legitimate sources talking about 6 star rank. IMHO, that is all just WP:OR, so it can gladly go to AFD. But good catch. — MrDolomite • Talk 01:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

I found it's already proposed for AfD and was deleted. Could you please help me with the CsD as I've never done one before and the CsD help is not as clear. I believe I should

• Add the following to 6 star rank

{{csd|Previously [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/6_star_rank|deleted]] for [[WP:OR]] and no [[WP:RS]] has come up that supports recreating the page}}

with the comment

CsD: Nominated for deletion; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/6 star rank

I suspect I need to add a tag, {{csd2}} comes to mind but that's not it, on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/6 star rank or is there an AfD log of the day thing? You can reply here and I'll spot it. Thank you. --Marc Kupper|talk 03:19, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

I installed Twinkle which did the work. --Marc Kupper|talk 05:57, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

FWIW - the 6 star rank article was resurrected and at present is "substantially different" than the deleted version meaning the CsD was nullified but the article is also still a work in progress. You may be interested in Talk:6 star rank#Lieutenant-General as a "six star" rank as I ran across a book titled The Life of Ulysses S. Grant - General of the Armies of the United States (1868). The parsing of that title though turns out to be "General" of "the Armies of the United States" and the publication itself uses "the Armies of the United States" several times implying this may have been common usage during the period preceding Pershing's reputed commission as General of the Armies of the Unites States.

I started this hunt as I ran across a 1961 book about Pershing[2] that states he's was first General of the Armies of the United States since Washington (p. 23, 343) (use search inside this book for "General of the Armies"). The book seems well researched/sourced but so far I've not found why that claim was used though suspect as the book was written/published in the same period that MacArthur was being considered for the title that news articles of the time may have made references to G.W. though it's not clear if it's as the rank "General of the Armies" or the role "General" of "the Armies". If it's the role then they missed General Grant. --Marc Kupper|talk 20:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I just realized that if Pershing was never commissioned as a "General of the Armies of the United States" but rather held a "General" of "the Armies of the United States" then that would also explain something I'd been wondering about in that Washington's appointment seems to be establishing a new rank titled "General of the Armies of the United States"^{(PL 94-479)}. --Marc Kupper|talk 20:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:2012frozenfour.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:2012frozenfour.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Unreferenced tags

While your suggestion about proper sourcing of the articles on the list is something that absolutely should be done. The way that lists work is that they also need proper references, even if the content is self-evident because of the references from the articles (the verifiability policy does not have an exception). Plus, unlike articles where the lead does not need to be cited, on lists it does. -MBK₀₀₄ 05:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
