The Fast

Thanks for the redirection, although they are connected by virtue of the same band members, The Fast were a noted NYC glam/punk entity that stood on its own nearly a decade before the Zone brothers formed Man 2 Man. Perhaps I can leave out the Man 2 Man paragraph on The Fast article or link the Man 2 Man article? A redirect wipes out the historic importance of The Fast on the NYC scene. Please advise and thanks. --DJAK666 — Preceding undated comment added 02:46, 1 December 2013‎

Perhaps it's best to talk about The Fast in the Man 2 Man article first. That's what I was thinking. --I dream of horses (T) @ 04:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Stub Templates

Hello. Can you explain to me how to add a category to the stub tag, or indicate to me a Wikipedia help page that explains it? I am aware that is more useful but I have yet to understand how it works. Your time is most appreciated. --Tco03displays (talk) 05:46, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

You don't really "add a category" to the stub template, it's more like using a different stub template entirely. WP:STUBS has a list of all the stub templates. Wikipedia:Stub sorting#Stub sorting methods explains some in how to stub sort. --I dream of horses (T) @ 05:53, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you that was perfectly clear. --Tco03displays (talk) 05:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you teach me how to create a subpage for my userpage?

Hello, I dream of horses. Can you tell me how to create a subpage and a page notice for my talk page and userpage? Is it just simply creating a page with a slash (Example/page notice)? --218.186.153.21 (talk) 05:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC) (Nahnah4) (talk • contribs)

More or less, yes. Be sure to put it in the right "space" (user space, and not, for example, article space or usertalk space, etc.) --I dream of horses (T) @ 05:53, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't get you. Anyway, want to be an admin? Go to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to be an administrator. I think you want to. Okay, what do you mean by "space"?--218.186.153.21 (talk) 06:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)(User:Nahnah4) (talk • contribs)

No, I don't want to be an admin. People do ask me to run from time to time. The answer is no.

"Space" means the part of Wikipedia you're in. So, articles are in "article space". User pages are in "user space". Talk pages are in "talk space". etc. --I dream of horses (T) @ 06:56, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks.--Nahnah4 (talk) 03:51, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Scrubs changes

Hey I noticed you reset what I edited to John Dorian's profile. I think it's fine in the sense what I added wasn't that important, but I just don't like that it says, "However, his birthday is not specified at any point in the series." This is misleading for two reasons. First because his birthday happens in the episode "My Day at the Races", which aired on January 6th, 2006. So arguably that is his birthday. Second, more importantly if you read the paragraph as a whole it is implying that we don't really know when he was born because it wasn't really addressed. But we do know his age for each season e.g. season 5 he is 29 until the episode my day at the races and 30 from that point forward. By the same logic we can deduce that he was 25 at the start of season one and 26 at the end of it. I guess I just don't like that the paragraph makes his age seem more mysterious than it actually is. Maybe if you could think of a better way to edit this paragraph to more accurately reflect the age issue.

Thanks!

Multiple issues images.

• 1) Ist issue: This image is not of Babri masjid, It is an another mosque located in Delhi, India.Source.
• 2) 2nd Issue: The uploader had sourced it from Urdu/Arabic wikipedia, and those images do not provide any CC link for the file.

• This file does not have any significance of Indian mosques, It can be easily said that its any of the Turkish/Spanish designed mosque. But not the Babri Masjid.

• Similar is the case of this image, Babri Masjid does not contain minarets, Where as if we see the left end of the structure behind the tree A minaret tower is erected, and the dome shape of Babri masjid is plain (onion shape) where as this image domes are in the shape of "Cantaloupe".

All of the above images do not provide any CC link in either English, Urdu, Arabic or Persian wikipedia, thus making it an copyright issue. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 13:16, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

The bottom two images have this little quote:

If this file is eligible for relicensing, it may also be used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.

The relicensing status of this image needs to be manually reviewed by an experienced user. You can help.

I would think that would count as a CC link, even if it's a "someone needs to talk to the uploader" CC link. They are also licensed under GFDL, another free culture license, and were probably uploaded before Wikipedia was dual-licensed CC-BY-SA/GFDL.

The first image is dual-licensed under CC and GFDL, which is the standard copyright status for Wikipedia.

Again, somebody needs to talk to the uploader. I cannot, as I am monolingual in English.--I dream of horses (T) @ 22:58, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Your handle

It was odd seeing your handle. A beautiful girl I used to know so so many years ago used to use that same tag on some posts around the net. Thank you, you have made an old man feel good this morning with fund memories of the greatest love of his life. Does UTC stand for University of Tennessee at Chattanooga ? Mabvn 5.56MABVN 5.56 (talk) 08:19, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

No, UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. I don't use this handle anywhere else on the internet, and I've never lived in Tennessee. --I dream of horses (T) @ 08:23, 16 December 2013 (UTC) (corrected link at 08:24, 16 December 2013 (UTC))
