Pixar-stub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 07:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

NAVA

I can try and fix some of the flags that you drew and maybe get others done. I will probably need to look at the NAVA article and fix some thins up. Also, before you ask, I am already a NAVA member and I do not wish to use a userbox. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Cars Pictures

Anna, you said on the talk page for List of Cars characters article: "I've gotten a few pictures, but some of them are not very good. I've gotten GOOD pictures for the following cars: Lightning McQueen, Mack, The King, Chick, Sally, Lizzie, Doc, Mia, and Tia. How are they?" It turns out that I uploaded many pictures, and I'd like to know if you, WestJet, or AMK152 have some pictures I don't have. Also, on that article's talk page, I asked a question about the DRH's pictures. Thanks. -dogman15 04:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Autograph book

I saw your huge collection of signatures in your autograph book when I first started on Wikipedia, so I made it my lifelong goal to get more signatures than you. And today, my dream finally came true!! Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 01:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I hate to say it, but YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!! A•N•N•Afoxlover St. Patrick's Day 2007 17:03, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I hate to say it, but so am I.

Talk page messages

Please stop pasting the same message on a load of talk pages. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia. --Deskana (Alright, on your feet soldier!) 00:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

In fact, your contributions page is predominantly "please sign here". I don't mind your guestbook, but you should respect others' talk pages. - AMP'd 03:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I'm a big believer in the community here that builds this encyclopaedia; however, sending dozens of talk page messages uses up precious bandwidth that is paid for by charitable donations and, whilst I enjoy correspondence with anybody who would like to talk about Wikipedia issues, I'm not a big fan of spam in any context and tend to like posts from people with an issue, a problem or with whom I correspond generally. If you have a Wikipedia issue or problem, please get in touch; otherwise, I'm sure we'll bump into each other on Wikipedia without this method intruding. Thanks, and happy editing! 〈REDVEЯS〉 20:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind the fact you have a signitures page, that you link to it from your sig is also fine. In fact, I'll even support the right of people to do that if they wish to. However.... what is not acceptable in my mind is the way you are posting to completely random people a message asking for them to sign it. Let people find that page themselves. Even worse is the way you are practicly begging people to sign your page, have a bit more respect and confidence in yourself than that! Mathmo ^Talk 02:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocking A User

Hi Anna. Thanks for the message on my talk page. I'm not an admin either, so I can't block myself. Fortunately there is a lot you can do without being an admin. Vandalism patrol is one of them. What you do is this, after you have followed the procedure in Wikipedia:Vandalism you list the offending IP at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. There an admin will do a second opinion whether the blocking is really justified and then do it for you.

In this particular case the user would (probably) not have been blocked because the time between my final warning (march 3) and the next time vandalism was found (march 6) is too long. Had I been in your place, I would have left the following string on his talk page: {{subst:uw-vandalism4|Talk:A Bug's Life}} ~~~~

(try it out in the sandbox!)

The advantage is that at his next vandalism user Geniac could have proceeded with blocking him instead of giving another warning. Why don't you try your hand at Wikipedia:Recent_changes_patrol for a few minutes I'm sure you'll find one or two vandals and you can try applying the warning procedure. Getting involved with other aspects of Wikipedia such a vandal fighting is also a great way to bolster an application for adminship ;-) Sander123 08:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not spam others' talk pages

Please do not continue to spam others' talk pages with requests to sign your autograph page. It is questionable whether you should even have an autograph page, as Wikipedia is not Myspace, and user pages are not meant for this sort of silliness. You can probably get away with having an autograph page if you are quiet about it and don't bother others. Continued requests of other random people to sign your autograph page will probably result in your autograph page being deleted. --Xyzzyplugh 22:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, listen Anna. We love that you want to help out with our project, but we don't really do all that social networking and stuff that MySpace does. Our userpages shouldn't be decorated with random stuff, it should be used to help with the project. Many people are very uncomfortable with this stuff. You'll find that we're very welcoming if you help out with the encyclopedia, and we'll help you in any way we can, but that's what you should limit your activities on wikipedia to. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, wikipedia is just the wrong place to do it on. As already stated, there is a good chance that your autograph page will be deleted. Oskar 22:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I concur, I was debating whether to bring this up when I left my initial message.. Again, this is Wikipedia, not MySpace.. I refrain from doing many user page edits, because it's the articles that matter more, and please do not take offense, it's just that some of us (like me) don't appreciate being 'spammed' with these sort of requests.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 23:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop spamming talk pages. Thanks. alphachimp 00:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked for 48 hours for spamming after warnings. I just reverted over 100 of your edits. When your block expires, please cease and desist soliciting people to sign your signature book. alphachimp 00:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the reverting.... if it has been to articles or even article talk pages then it ought to be fine to revert the edits. But when it is being done to user talk pages it is my belief that you ought to leave it up to the user themselves as to what they want to do with it. Mathmo ^Talk 02:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• You may also want to read this. Acalamari 00:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry about that, really I am. I guess I got too excited about my first autograph book. I am now going to take a LONG break from editing anyone's talk page (except my own). I didn't see all these messages - I was at the store (:-o). I would have stopped doing this if I had seen these messages. I'm sorry. I will stop spamming other users' talk pages. But may I have my autographs back, please? May I ask something else? : Is there any way that I can get advice from professional Wikipedians on how to be a better user? Is has been my childhood dream to become a good administrator. Please help me. Sincerely, A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 01:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

There aren't really "professional Wikipedians" we're all volunteers who do this on our own dime, Metros232 01:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, could you help me anyway? Please? A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 01:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Wowzerz! That's a bit harsh... Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 01:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Cremepuff, you are not involved. :-D A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 01:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Help and advice

If you want help, advice and guidance on being a better editor, then you can ask me. I read my talk page several times a day so I should be able to respond swiftly. I will "adopt" you, so to speak. And since you've promised to stop spamming talk pages, I will discuss your unblock with the blocking administrator. Thanks. --Deskana (talk) (review me please) 01:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much!!! But I can't ask you questions, because I am blocked. How do I ask you questions? But anyway, THANK YOU!!! A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 01:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You're unblocked now. You may want to copy the following code onto your userpage somewhere....

  {{Adoptee|Deskana}}

Copy it as you see it when you're viewing the page, do not copy it as you see it in edit mode (avec nowiki tags). It's a userbox to indicate I've adopted you. I will add a relevant one to my userpage too. --Deskana (talk) (review me please) 01:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much!!! Again!!! A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 01:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to spam the link here, but please see the first section of my talk page for an alternative place you can create your autograph book since it was deleted. Angela ^talk 01:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your prodding of Yes

Hello, just a few words of advice. Your prodding of Yes was contested, and the prod tag was removed. You're correct, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but as the person who contested your prodding correctly noted, the Yes article is much more than a dictionary definition. In addition, consider an encyclopedia without the word Yes in it. --Deskana (talk) (review me please) 19:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, this is an ONLINE encyclopedia, right? So "Yes" should be a disambiguation page. See the No article. It is a disambiguation page with a short definition and the Wiktionary template on top, instead of a dictionary entry as an article. This should be done with Yes. A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 22:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes is a disambiguation page, with a short definition at the top. That doesn't make it a dictionary definition. --Deskana (talk) (review me please) 22:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it's not! Look at it CAREFULLY. (here) It shows a LINK to the yes disambiguation page. The Yes article should be deleted, and a short definition and Wiktionary template should be placed on top. A•N•N•Afoxlover PLEASE SIGN, ANYONE!!! 22:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The same applies to your prod-ing of we. The article is much more than a DICDEF, and expands greatly on the wiktionary entry. Further, per WP:PROD, please do not re-add a PROD tag if another editor has already removed it in disagreement. Take it to WP:AFD if its that important to you that the page is deleted. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 16:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Purpose

Good afternoon (GMT time); hope you're well. Just a bit of advice here, but the community is frowning more and more on fancy signatures and the like.

Perhaps you need to go for a plainer signature, and most certainly get rid of the "sign here" link - that gets some Wikipedians blood boiling .. including mine!

Why not get some article work done, and not concentrate on your user page, and non-encyclopedia-writing-spirit signature books and such like .. Wikipedia is not a socialising site, although it is social!

Kind regards,
anthonycfc ^[talk] 18:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay!. Thank you for the advice! A•N•N•Afoxlover 20:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on Jimbo's talk page

A couple points for consideration regarding your comment:

1. Your assessment of "serious problem" is perhaps a bit out of proportion to the issue;
2. Jimbo only rarely inserts himself into community discussions in a role other than as an editor of equal standing
3. Many of the 1000s of pages deleted here everyday are the result of work by somebody and that reason has little sway in deciding what belongs here

I suggest a more effective way of proceeding is to argue your point at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Autograph books as this is the discussion that will determine the fate of the pages. —Doug Bell ^talk 21:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It's best to only use Mr. Jimbo Wales' talk page in special circumstances. The first time I posted to his talk page was close to a month ago when I asked about a reporter. I thought the situation required his attention, as it was to do with the press; Mr. Wales quickly and calmly resolved the situation for me. You see, his talk page should really only be used for very unusual, or immensely large events. Acalamari 00:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use images in userboxes and on user space

Note that fair use images are not allowed anywhere other than articles per Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy criterion #9. I removed the fair use image Image:Luxo Jr.jpg and replaced it with a sans-serif "P" in order maintain strategic distance from the trademarked and possibly copyrighted Pixar logo. Please do not reinsert the image again or use a serifed font. Thank you. --Iamunknown 02:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

It looks great now! --Iamunknown 21:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Sally Carrera.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sally Carrera.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: I've added the {{DisneyCharacter}} licensing tag to this image for you, and replaced the {{movieposter}} tag on the other Cars (film) related images you've recently uploaded since they, well, are not movie posters, but images of Disney Characters. That said, I question your choice of license for Image:LightningMcQueenToy.jpg - it seems extremely unlikely that this image is actually released under the GDFL. What is its source? --ZimZalaBim (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for finding the right copyright tag;I was looking for something like that! (:-D) But about the LightningMcQueenToy image, I don't know the license. I was hoping that someone would know. Oops! A•N•N•Afoxlover 20:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

The proper tag is probably {{promophoto}}, but my guess is that the image doesn't qualify for fair use since it is "repeatable", ie, one could go find this toy car at a store and take their own photograph of it rather than relying on the promotional image (which is copyright protected). --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Archiving

Please read WP:ARCHIVE for help archiving your talk page. The best practice is to create some kind of an archive subpage (such as User talk:ANNAfoxlover/Archive1) to store old messages, rather than just removing them arbitrarily from your talk page. See my talk page for further example. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:LightningMcQueenToy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LightningMcQueenToy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Dinoco.gif

You just uploaded Image:Dinoco.GIF, even after your repeated attempts to upload Image:Dinoco.gif have been deleted as a copyvio. Do not upload it again. If you want to contest the original deletion of the logo, please go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 22:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I kept uploading it because no one told me why it was deleted, but now I know. But why is it a copyright violation? A•N•N•Afoxlover 00:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I merely deleted your 3rd attempt to upload it because it had already been deleted (twice). I don't have expertise on the particular copyright issues, so perhaps you should ask one of the two editors who originally deleted it: Zscout370 (talk · contribs) or Cyde (talk · contribs). (But even if you made it yourself, my guess is that it still is likely protected by copyright: I could make my own Coca-Cola logo, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a copyright (or trademark) violation....) --ZimZalaBim (talk) 00:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

User:ANNAfoxlover/Userboxes/User/Use/Us/u

Hi. What's the purpose of User:ANNAfoxlover/Userboxes/User/Use/Us/u, since you seem to be keeping it as a mirror of User:ANNAfoxlover/Autographs? --ZimZalaBim (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, you found it. Anyway, many people were deleting some autographs from my autograph page, and I was trying to hide a copy so vandals wouldn't find it. Oh, well. :-/ A•N•N•Afoxlover 02:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

You do understand that all your edits are viewable by clicking "User contributions" in the toolbox on the left panel of your user page, right? You can't really hide edits or pages. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 02:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, you can find all the subpages in a user's space by going to Special:Prefixindex. --Iamunknown 02:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

More questionable subpages

And what exactly is the purpose of User:ANNAfoxlover/Secret Signatures 53425617207022007 and User:ANNAfoxlover/Flags/True Information on the Nebraska flag. Both seem in violation of WP:NOT and WP:USER. I suggest you request their removal with a {{db-user}} tag, or they might be nominated for deletion by another editor. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 02:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I see you used the {{db-user}} tag on your mirrored autograph page and the Nebraska flag page. But what about the "secret signatures"? --ZimZalaBim (talk) 14:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

The secret signatures is a little "game" (I don't know what to call it) for the people who sign it. A•N•N•Afoxlover 14:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but user space is not for games. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

It has been nominated for deletion here. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 15:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Severe caution

I'm sorry that I have to be harsh about this but this edit is extremely improper in that you're making it appear as though User:Jimbo Wales left the comment himself. Doing that is essentially a blockable act. Don't do that again. If you want to cite that comment then by all means cite the diff of it. (→Netscott) 14:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I think she was trying to invoke this comment by Jimbo, that many others have already linked to in that discussion. Probably was a good faith error in properly formatting, rather than an attempt to make it appear that Jimbo just left it. Dunno... --ZimZalaBim (talk) 14:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Oops! I was just placing his quote there. I wasn't trying to make it seem that Jimbo himself placed the comment there. So sorry. :-/ A•N•N•Afoxlover 17:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Lightning McQueen.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Lightning McQueen.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.. Also, you claim this is fair use, but gave no rationale, source, etc.. To avoid deletion, I would suggest you add those.. Reply to me on my talk page if you want to.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop re-adding a fair use image to Template:Pixar-stub, it is not permitted to use fair use images in templates.. If you have any questions or concerns, contact me via my talk page.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 03:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• As an addendum to Illyria05's comment, let me clarify what I meant by "Don't use fair use images anywhere but articles." Firstly, fair use images should not be used in templates that are going to be used in articles. Secondly, fair use images should only be used in articles in a manner that meets the Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. Generally, fair use images are prohibited from being used as decoration and must have a fair use rationale for each individual use. You may also want to read the fair use criteria (linked above) and Wikipedia:Fair use. I'm sorry for any confusion based on any prior statements. --Iamunknown 04:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Is there an appropriate image somewhere that could be used? A•N•N•Afoxlover 14:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, free images, i.e. that are open to public domain, most commons pictures, etc.. But no fair use.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 17:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The "Things You Have Learned."

Hello, I am pleased you have learned many things while being here, but would you mind explaining some of the things you listed? I think you might have misinterpreted some of them; I am honored you consider me to be a user who has influenced you, but I said that should post anything to Jimbo's talk page unless you need to; I said this: You see, his talk page should really only be used for very unusual, or immensely large events. I did not say that you couldn't post anything there at all. As for that last sentence about administrators; how did you learn that? Admins don't "bother people" simply because they feel like it. Would you mind giving an explanation please? Acalamari 02:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

No, no, no; you misunderstand; I didn't say to remove it: it you want to change it, you should have changed it to: Don't post on Jimbo's talk page unless the situation is unusual enough to require his attention. Removing it was not what I was asking about. Acalamari 18:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You didn't say to change it; I just removed it because I didn't know what to do. A•N•N•Afoxlover 19:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You should have discussed it. That's what talk pages are for: to discuss edits and overall improvement of Wikipedia. I was not saying you had to remove it; I wanted to discuss it. Acalamari 20:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, okay. A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit reverted

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Some of your recent edits, such as those you made to ;, have been considered unhelpful or unconstructive and have been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing others' userpages

Making significant edits to other people's user page, as you did here, is often considered a form of vandalism when done without permission. Please don't do it again. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Honestly

I posted a nice message on your talk page about the cars image you uploaded, and how it did not have copyright information, then you just go ahead and revert me, without adding anything for the license.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC) (diff

The info is on there, isn't it? A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it is not, you must add fair use rationale.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

What's that? A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

link. I also highly recommend you read all of that.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It's got the Disney Character fair use template on there. Isn't that enough? A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You did not read that page, you must:

"What to include on an image description page

The image description page is the appropriate place to put information about: The author and immediate source of the image The copyright status of the image General descriptive details Technical details about the image" And you must add why it qualifies as fair use.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

So what's missing? A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You have not read anything I added then.. ALL you did was put a template.. That is most certainly NOT enough.. "What to include on an image description page The image description page is the appropriate place to put information about:

The author and immediate source of the image The copyright status of the image General descriptive details Technical details about the image" Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It was from a Cars poster, I think. The copyright is owned by Pixar and the Walt Disney Company. I don't know what "general descriptive details" means. I don't know what "technical details about the image" means. A•N•N•Afoxlover 21:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

(My previous post was somehow deleted) "Here's great example of an image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DVD_Cover_-_The_4400_S03.jpg , note the fair use rationale section Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 21:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)"

You must state the source, etc for the image as well.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 03:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) Anna, did you get the image from a specific URL? --Iamunknown 03:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Anna, could this be it, or something like that? Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 03:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I remember getting it from something very like that, except that image is a little bit too small. But it looks very, very similar. A•N•N•Afoxlover 13:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Here, if you want to upload a new version of the image from a site that you know, I'll add the source information for you, and you can use that as an example for in the future if/when you upload new images.. Also, if you plan on uploading some more (I think I remember you uploading your own dog pictures), I highly suggest you join Wikimedia Commons, if you want to upload pictures you took yourself (if I remember correctly, there is a dog picture category).. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 13:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I am a member of the Commons, but, surprisingly, I haven't been there in a while. Are fair use images allowed in the Commons? A•N•N•Afoxlover 13:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No, but you can upload GNU Free Documentation License, Creative Commons Attribution and ShareAlike licenses, and the public domain licenses.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 16:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring on Wikipedia:Wikipedians

You know I dispute the removal of the taxobox, and the implied consensus (see Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle) has been for there to be a taxobox. Please do not remove it again until you have gained some agreement at Wikipedia talk:Wikipedians on why it should not be on the page. —dgies^t_c 22:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Kid's Choice Awards

There was already an article entitled Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, so I placed a redirect to that article on the page you created. If you wish to add to or edit any information on that subject, please do so there.--Proofreader J-Man 04:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. I didn't see it. I saw a red link at the top of the Cars (film) article, and I couldn't believe there wasn't a Kid's Choice Awards article. Obviously, I can't believe there isn't one, because there is one. Glad that's over with. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 14:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Human categorisation as invasive species

Hi Anna. This issue has been discussed on the talk page and your repeated re-categorisation of humans as an invasive species is becoming a little disruptive. If you have a reason for doing this, please add to the discussion, otherwise your edits will continue to be reverted. TimVickers 23:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, now I see. I didn't see the talk page discussion. Oops. :-\ A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 23:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Batch of Google Holiday Logos nominated for deletion

Hello, ANNAfoxlover! Many Google Holiday logo images that you have uploaded have been nominated for deletion here, due to copyright and fair-use policies. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. –- kungming·2 ^(Talk) 05:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikicookie

• 
  I award ANNAfoxlover a Wikicookie for starting the autographs trend which I found a very fun timekiller, as when I was bored before. Also, as plenty of users made their own, also finding it a good idea. I also recommend that Anna joins the Wikipedia Department of Fun.. and will probably be a expert there ;D Domthedude001 06:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Flag of South Dakota (1909).png

Thanks for uploading Image:Flag of South Dakota (1909).png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

There are lots of hard working admins out there, they're doing what they can, but there are lots of hard working vandals too :-(. Anyway, I doubt the IP will be blocked if the last final warning is 17 days old, it might not be the same person behind the computer, you know... I will keep an eye on him/her and report him/her as soon as I can. Keep up the good work! :-) - Myanw 17:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

AAAAAAAAA!

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as AAAAAAAAA!) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.Berserkerz Crit 20:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from re-creating this previously deleted redirect. Deletion review is over here. Thanks. ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I cannot find the deletion review. Please show me. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 20:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Deletion review: you'll need to start a review for the redirect in question. However, I urge you to review the deletion log for this article, read the Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? provided therein, and the specific reason it was recently speedy deleted (R3 - implausible typo) to determine if a deletion review is really appropriate. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 21:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The deletion review says that the article was deleted becausem it was nonsense. Why is it nonsense? I have asked that question to one of the deleters, and he didn't respond. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 23:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, follow the directions at Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted?. If you aren't satisfied after asking the person who deleted it, then consider starting a deletion review. Simply recreating the article (as you have done three times) is disruptive - if you do it again, you will likely be blocked. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 23:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The deletion review said it was nonsense. I wasn't going to add it again. I just want to know why the page was considered nonsense, even if it was a redirect page. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 02:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any evidence of there being a deletion review for this, just the recent nomination & discussion that resulted in its deletion. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

That's what I wanted to see. Okay, done! :-o (relieved sigh) A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 02:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: User talk:142.103.7.14

Hello Anna, a bit of feedback for you. We don't block IPs permenantly for a few acts of childish vandalism, as you threatened here. I suggest you look over the blocking policy as you seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding as to how blocking works on Wikipedia. (Again, please don't take this the wrong way, but it's further proof you're not ready to be an admin yet). Good luck, Dan. --Deskana (talk) 19:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 20:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Please

Could you, would you sign my autograph page? link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Atomic_Religione/Autograph_book --ÄtΘmicR€£igione;

Only if you sign mine. But here's a tip: Don't ask everyone for autographs on their talk page. Rarely do it. I once did this a long time ago and I got in trouble. But I don't mind the spamming. But other users might, so don't do it very often. In fact, do it rarely. But I'll sign your page if you'll sign mine. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 01:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Great Barrier Reef

Dear Anna, while I appreciate your faith in the Great Barrier Reef article, a more practical way that you could give back to the article (rather than nominating it for FA) might be to choose an item or two from the Talk:Great Barrier Reef/to do list, and do it. Some of them already have sources listed next to them that may be helpful. Thanks loads, Malkinann 01:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Reasons Why You Should Not Nominate Yourself.

ANNAfoxlover, you say on your user page that you almost ready to nominate yourself for adminship. You welcome suggestions. Well, here's my suggestion: don't do it. If you do, your nomination will likely lose. I've been around longer than you have; and I'm taking a lot of damage on my RfA. If you don't believe me, go to Wikipedia: Requests for adminship and have a look. In fact, I suggest you read all the current RfAs and not just mine; and then look at some previous ones; both successful and unsucessful. Seriously ANNAfoxlover, I'm saying this to help you; you need a lot more experience. After you contacted over a hundred other users a couple of weeks ago, that will go down terribly if you were were nominated; I'm being hit for events that happened two months ago. If you want further proof, ask Deskana to review this message; and consider putting yourself on editor review. Acalamari 17:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with everything that Acalamari said. RfAs can be hit and miss even if you're a model editor, and I can't see anyone supporting your RfA Anna... and to be honest, I'd oppose it myself. Please don't take this message the wrong way; I think you have potential, but at the minute, that's it, potential. You can tell you're not ready from the questions you ask me, as well as your userpage. Right now you don't stand a chance of succeeding. Keep working at it, putting the effort in, and you'll be ready one day.

I'd also like to note that adminship isn't a trophy, which I can see you thinking it is. Good luck. --Deskana (talk) 18:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Since I want to learn everything there is to know about Wikipedia, I am believing every word you said. I actually am not almost ready to nominate myself, but I just want some suggestions before I do. If I ever do, it won't be until at least 20 months from now. I am looking back at my first days at Wikipedia, and man, I was horrible back then! I have learned a lot since that, thanks to many administrators. Obviously, you both are right. There's absolutely no way' that I would get adminship if I nominated myself right away. Since I haven't been around that long, I am agreeing with everything you're saying. Thank you very much for the advice! ;,-) A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 13:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Wait a minute. I don't think adminship is a trophy. I know what adminship is and its purpose. Do not assume these things, Deskana. Don't you even think I've read WP:ADMIN? Don't assume, JUST ASK ME!!! Thank you. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 13:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've been here longer than you, and I recently nominated myself for adminship and it got deleted, so, your's might too, so I suggest you wouldn't nominate yourself until a little bit in the future. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)|HISTORY} 22:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Green font

It says to me "I care more about my font colour than Wikipedia". When I sort through your contributions I still find that most of your contributions are unrelated to building the encyclopedia. --Deskana (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you're assuming wrong things about me way too much. The reason that I colo(u)red it green is because I wanted people to see the reason that I had created the page, to make sure that users followed WP:SIG. Please, instead of assuming the wrong things about me, ASK ME!!! :-( A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 19:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

That's a very bad argument. "You're not following WP:SIG, I'm not giving you an award!"... I'm quite shocked you'd spend your time doing this. Ultimately, you're still not spending enough time on the encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but if you can't step up your contributions, I'm going to have to withdraw the adoption. I'm finding this quite frustrating. --Deskana (talk) 19:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree with Deskana here. Using a green font on talk pages is distracting and frowned upon. Your argument should stand on its own merits, and not need window dressing to get its point across. And, regarding your overall participation, it does seem that most of your edits have been of the social/game nature, as opposed to actually constructing the encyclopedia (although you've made good improvements to Pixar stuff). Perhaps shift your focus a bit - there are plenty of tasks to perform. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

It isn't a talk page, but I see what you're saying, and thank you for the extra advice. And the reason that most of my edits aren't editing the encyclopedia? That's because I cannot find very many things going on in my watchlist, which now has 236 pages on it. If that won't work, I'll search for vandalism and revert it if there's any. After all that, then I'll check on some other things, including WP:-D, of which I am a member. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 20:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia backlog. You'll never be short of things to do. Basically, saying "There's nothing to do" isn't really a valid reason for messing around on Wikipedia all the time. --Deskana (talk) 20:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for showing me that link. That link will keep me quite busy editing the encyclopedia for quite a while. That was what I needed. Thank you. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 20:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm never short of things to do either. I can keep myself quite busy on Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, recently. I remember when at any given time it only used to have 5 or 10 pages in it. Now the number seems to hover permenantly around the hundreds. --Deskana (talk) 20:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

That'll keep me even busier! Thanks some more! :-O A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 20:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Watch it. I don't tolerate uncivil comments. --Deskana (talk) 20:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

That also goes for this comment] with your repeated shouting of "wrong". Please cease such tone & unnecessary use of html on talk pages. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 20:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

You see, ANNAfoxlover; it's uncivil messages like that why I had to tell you not to nominate yourself for adminship. Incivility is blockable if continued. Acalamari 23:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Civility

Please be WP:CIVIL when warning users, even vandals. This edit summary is inappropriate. I also suggest you use the user warning templates created and agreed upon by the community. Thanks. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 23:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Not ready f0or adminship

Please dont take offense, I would highly reccomend that you do not self nominate in the near future. It is for your own good in my opinion. I had my first rfa at 3 months with over 8,000 edits and a long track record of anti vandalism patrol and it failed. What would really help is some participation in WP:AFD (although not required) and other areas of wikpedia. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Thanks -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

About your nom. for adminship

I hope you do! A few suggestions (ehem...well, I'm not an admin, but I have some writing tips...)

• Make sure you can back up everything you say
• Be clear, and concise
• Don't ramble on and on about your absolute greatness
• Mention your edit count as much as possible.. :)
• Have your paragraphs flow, and don't sound like your making a list
• Give more than one reason (...)

Good luck! User:Da.Tomato.Dude

I would just point out that high edit counts don't maketh the admin (and your total of 1877 might not impress). Further, you should engage in more constructive participation in project space tasks, such as AfDs, recent change patrol, new page patrol, etc, in order to show comfort and familiarity with policy. As it stands, most of your project & talk page edits seem to focus on autographs, userboxes and word association games, which, to be honest, would prompt me to vote against your nomination. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 18:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Not only that, but your frequent questions indicate you are not ready for adminship. Of course, you should continue to ask these questions to learn. --Deskana (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi annafox... i was just wondering if instead of the 95 on the userbox for pixar how about luxo jr their official mascot also Pixar wasnt founded in 95 so its irrelevant. If it was a box for toy story which indeed came out in95 it would make more sense please tel me your thoughts thnksMartini833 23:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, the reason it has been changed to a 95 is because the Luxo, Jr. image was a fair use image, and could not be used anywhere but articles. The 95 represents Lightning McQueen's number. If there's anything else that could be placed on the userbox, please let me know on my talk page or on the userbox talkpage. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 14:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. He's on an extended Wikibreak. I think he reformatted the page himself shortly before he departed; perhaps he's not had time to rename it yet, or perhaps he wants to keep that name for the people (like me) that were trapped by the lame old trick(!)

He's a busy man, you know. I doubt he has time. He's doing things which are actually important, and I'm sure you can appreciate signing autograph books is almost certainly lowest on his list. --Deskana (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

That is obviously the reason why he doesn't respond to his talk page messages. He has much more important things to do. But I'm just wondering why everyone is asking him to sign my autograph page. That's strange. A•N•N•Afoxlover hello! 23:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
