Welcome to Wikipedia!

edit

Hello AscendedAnathema, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 22:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Compromise

edit

What was wrong with the compromise I proposed in declaring that this is a theory? For someone who reads Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand, I am extremely surprised that you would find this an acceptable label to simply declare as fact, despite the controversy and lack of self-identification. Tfine80 05:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

If you are familiar with Rand's ideas, you would understand how I feel about compromise and consensus. If not, don't use her in an argument against me. Also, Friedman is more commonly associated with monetarism than neoliberalism, although his views are consistent with the latter. The lack of someone labeling themselves and their ideas with a certain "ism" does not exclude that person or idea from being associated with that particular "ism" when their works and beliefs are consistent with those of the "ism." AscendedAnathema 21:56, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
Rand would hate the term neoliberalism and detest the leftists who use it to indict trade liberalization. And, yes, the fact some disagree with the label means that it is not proper to assign it definitively if substantial controversy exists. That is my point. Compromise is simply how Wikipedia functions. If there is substantial disagreement on the use of a label, the controversy needs to be discussed within the article. That is the essential component of Wikipedia:NPOV Tfine80 23:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
I seriously doubt that Rand would hate the term of neoliberalism if she were alive today, considering she acknowledged that her political thought was largely within the traditional realm of classical liberalism and would probably acknowledge that the word "neoliberalism" in its economic context reflects the new economic realities which have come about as a result of globalization. Also, considering that there seems to be only one source of dissension over the applicability of use of "neoliberal" in the context of recent US macroeconomic policy, I would hardly consider there to be "substantial disagreement" on the issue. AscendedAnathema 00:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
You honestly believe she would adopt a term that is mostly used as a pejorative by her enemies (and as you describe it automatically redefine it in a novel way)? Don't you think to prove this meets the consensus standards of NPOV, you would need to find an agent of US government, Greenspan or Rubin perhaps, actually endorse the term? I can't find this anywhere; this determination would be hugely controversial. The point about classical liberalism indicates that she would probably find the neo- prefix silly and mostly designed to smear traditionally liberal thinkers with a patronizing term. Tfine80 04:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
Considering the word "capitalist" itself was first used by Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto, I have no doubt that she would have considered adopting the term. However, arguing the semantics of potential labels not ever used by a long-dead woman is pointless hearsay. At any rate, if you can demonstrate how the macroeconomic and fiscal policy of the United States has not been increasingly influenced by neoliberal economic ideals since the 1980s as defined by the neoliberalism page itself, then I will concede the argument and stop reverting the introduction of the US economy page. Otherwise you're the only one complaining, and as I have almost as little will to argue over the hypothetical semantics of a dead Ayn Rand as I do to argue over the supposedly "hugely controversial" use of neoliberal that only one person seems to find hugely controversial.

Insult

edit

We cannot include an insult in a wiki article. I propose not to have it untill the pool ends.

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Ap France cartoon controversy Muslim protests 03feb06 210.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -SCEhardT 21:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nottingham

edit
  • Just to let you know, High Pavement College is a sixth form college in north Nottingham, and Harold Shipman is the worst serial killer in UK history, so the edit you reverted as nonsense wasn't nonsense, just badly written by someone who assumed everyone looking at the Nottingham article had heard of Shipman.

Confusing edit summary

edit

This edit claims to fix a link, but does nothing of the sort. In fact, it removes material from the article. What's going on here? Was this just a cut-and-paste screw-up in the edit summary? And, if so, why was the material removed? - Jmabel | Talk 00:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

If you look at the end of the brainyquote address, you will see a closing "]" missing before my edit. This is what I was reffering to in my edit summary. AscendedAnathema 00:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
OK, it fixes a link (which I hadn't noticed), but more significantly it removes the sentence "He acknowledged, however, that in 37 years of military and reserve service he had not personally known any openly homosexual service members," which certainly seems to me like a more significant edit, and more worthy of comment, than fixing a link. Or have I missed something? - Jmabel | Talk 02:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Watch the duplicates

Please look at the article before you even place the link you know that deserves to be there, as there WAS already a god-forsaken link to the god-forsaken Intellexual at the Bose article, as apparently you placed a duplicate on the page.

Image:HEAD_vernon_c.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:HEAD_vernon_c.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. Rettetast 19:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Fair use rationale for Image:Stolichnaya.gif

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stolichnaya.gif. 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.BetacommandBot 11:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Ayn_Rand1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

NowCommons: File:Picture 082.jpg

edit

File:Picture 082.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Picture Cato.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Picture Cato.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:33, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of King & King

edit
 

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is King & King. 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 Wikipedia:Notability and "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(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King & King. 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.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:BUseal.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:BUseal.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. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:09, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
