("\(^_^)/") Hi, John!!

Sodaplayer/userboxes/sodaplay

You created the page Sodaplayer/userboxes/sodaplay in the main namespace. I have moved it to User:Sodaplayer/userboxes/sodaplay. Userboxes belong in the user namespace, per the Wikipedia:Userbox migration, formerly the template namespace, never the article namespace. Please make sure you create pages in the appropropriate namespace in the future. Thanks, — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 04:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, bud; I put a lot on my page now. You should probably work on your's, too.

Comments

Thanks, John. Your's looks very good, too. ^_^ KeybladeSephi ^{Talk Contributions}00:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sodaconstructor Daintywalker.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sodaconstructor Daintywalker.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Durin 21:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use image use

After I removed a fair image from your userpage with a detailed edit summary [1], you re-added the very same image back to your userpage [2]. Please be advised that per policy at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, the use of fair use tagged images is not permitted on userpages, templates, or any other non-main article namespace pages. I am re-removing the image. Please do not re-add it as this violates policy. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 16:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Revert of Image

Hi, is there any reason why you reverted the image Image:GPL_and_open-source.svg ? It just looks like the spelling correction made in November has been reverted back? Thrapper 22:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think i did that intentionally. I must off accidentally clicked revert without my intent. Sorry.

No problem - do you want to revert the revert or should I? Thrapper 15:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Interesting

My schools IP adress has been blocked from editing Wikipedia. It probably happened because a few kids at my school thought it would be fun to vandalize. Anyway my whole school shares the same IP address. lol Sodaplayer ^{talk contributions} 01:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I found out the school IP. See what some kids did. I can't believe that they would want to hurt wikipedia. :(

WikiProject Free Software

Hi Sodaplayer,

Currently, the method of tagging articles is to place {{WPFS}} at the bottom of the article. There's a discussion on the WPFS talk page as to whether the tag should be placed on the article or talk namespace, or both. Geekman314^{(contact me)} 14:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Hide/Show Code

Here is the code:
{| class="toccolours collapsible collapsed" width=99%
|-
! colspan="2" | text/title
|-
|thing you want to be hidden or shown
|}
The class says "collapsed". If you want the table to be shown when the page is loaded, delete the "collapsed". ^_^ KeybladeSephi ^{Talk Contributions} 03:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi; unfortuntely, I'm all booked for adoptions :(. I'm sure there are others who are free and willing to adopt though. — Deckiller 13:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Getting on IRC

Hi! You asked at Real96's talk page about getting on IRC, so I hoped that I could help (if you don't mind). I noticed that you use Firefox (so do I!), so a convenient IRC client should be ChatZilla, an extension that is downloadable here. Assuming that you want to get on #wikipedia (the channel for Wikipedia, etc.), you can do the following:

1. Download ChatZilla
2. Restart Firefox
3. Go to Tools, and open ChatZilla
4. Type "/nick Sodaplayer" in the box (you'll see it)
5. Click on "freenode", a blue link
6. Type "/join #wikipedia" when connected

I'll see you there, hopefully :) If you have any questions, or would prefer to use another IRC client (such as mIRC), please leave a note at my talk page. Thanks! Gracenotes^T § 01:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm fairly new to IRC, so I asked Gracenotes to help. Cheers! Real96 01:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar!

Thanks for the barnstar! I didn't even notice until today, sorry about that. Thanks for watching my page! I was really active on Wikipedia for most of last year, but I slowed down significantly this year due to school stuff, so I might not catch a lot of things. :P –- kungming·2 ^(Talk) 06:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

HI

Just figuring out my IP

Thanks

Thanks very much for helping with the vandalism on my talk page! Tennis expert 15:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit Summeries

Ahhhhh woops, I keep forgetting to put edit summeries. Sorry to anyone for this inconvinince.

Thanks for the nice shiny Barnstar!

Hey, thanks for the Sodaplay Barnstar! -Edlin2|Talk 23:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Coding

Hey, I fixed the coding on the template; now your text after the template is fixed ^_^ KeybladeSephi ^(Talk) _{(Contributions)} 00:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

thats nice Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib ^_^} 00:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!/Adoption Program

First, congrats on accomplishing the "Presidential Environmental Youth Award" for your outstanding efforts to improve the environment. Second, I see that you are familiar with Wikipedia and how to get around, so I am congratulating you in completing the Adopt-A-User program (see below). Third, if you want to have your page worked on, please go to Wikipedia:Trading Spaces. Cheers! Real96 10:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sodaplayer,
Congratulations for completing the Adopt-a-User program!!! If you have further questions concerning Wikipedia or the policies, please let me know!
-- Miranda

I added welcome on the top of your userpage so that you will have a reference to the core policies. Real96 01:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Free Software AFI

In the absence of other nominations, free software is the article for improvement by the WikiProject for the week of 4/22-4/28. Please help rearrange the article, primarily, and make any improvements that you can think of. Hopefully, as the article is already pretty good, we can bring it to an FA. Thanks! --Liπus the Turbogeek^{(contact me)} 12:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Wasatch Talk

John, we really don't need things like "I am planning to work on this page". Really, what's the point? We can delete stuff like that, but not anything on discussion. Please, use your brain, logic, and common sense on this. KeybladeSephi ^(Talk) _{(Contributions)} 03:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

hi

205.127.66.4 15:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment

That guy don't have the mind of his own copying others works like that. I am just going to ignore him. Anyway, Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your concern. Chris 23:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Well KeybladeSephi is my friend. It's pretty funny how we found out he copied his page. At school we were finding images of the solar system so when looking at the section with pages with this image we found "testing3". Then KeybladeSephi got really mad at Matthew.

Uploading your homework to Wikipedia

When you are finished with your homework, please delete the Wikipedia page by tagging it {{db-u1}}. Wikipedia is not a free web host. In the future, when you need to upload material to the web, you can use email, or Google Docs, or a number of other services. 69.201.182.76 16:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

bot

ay, the 'bot' i run is an assisted bot which requires me to approve each and every edit it makes. i use it to welcome new users and other time taking tedious changes. are you in need of a bot ? Matthew Yeager 19:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

No just wanted to learn more about bots. Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib^_^} 02:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Andrew Pettigrew

Hi, I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on this article. At least one uninvolved user has disputed the deletion on the talk page, and as a dean of a university's school, I would also think at first glance that Pettigrew is sufficiently notable. This lack of certainty regarding notability means that any further request to delete should probably be made through an avenue like AfD. Thanks. Johnleemk | Talk 08:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay, sorry for the inconvenience and the mistake. Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib ^_^} 20:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for defending me; stupid Tessa T_T KeybladeSephi ^(Talk) _{(Contributions)} 14:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib ^_^} 22:08, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Galapogos

The redirect to the islands sounds best. I don't think another page is needed, maybe just a note at the top of the page. Godlord2 01:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You could go ahead and do that if you would like. Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib ^_^} 01:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Wasatch Jr. High Sign.png

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Wasatch Jr. High Sign.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Wasatch Jr. High Sign.png is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Wasatch Jr. High Sign.png itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

• Image seems to be under the non-commercial attribution Creative Commons license. - Mike Rosoft 17:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

So Wikipedia isn't compatible with that license. Ok got it. Sodaplayer ^{talk contrib ^_^} 18:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
