Hi, Thanks for your message. Publicity photos are such a complicated issue for wikipedia because of misundertandings in their definition. See Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Basically they should come from a section of a website clearly labelled as a 'press kit'.

However, screenshots are far less controversial. If you can find a genuine screenshot from a DVD extra, documentary, or something...The JPS 12:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Bela Karolyi

Hi! Thanks for fixing the links on the Bela article. I hope I didn't bite your head off on that edit summary. I had been dealing with silly edits on other articles just before that, and my immediate response was 'egh, not again.' My connection's died in the middle of edits, I should have thought of that. :) Thanks again for stepping in! Namaste, Mademoiselle Sabina 09:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I'm trying to become a functioning member of the community, so I appreciate your advice. Good to talk to you, let me know what else I can do to help. Nscheffey 09:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear Nscheffey,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

List of queercore musicians

um what did you revert--Terronez 03:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I already fixed it, just letting you know.Nscheffey 03:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Iraq War Article

I just wanted to say I think your edits to the article were perfect in removing much of the garbage that was put into it. Since it has not been reverted it looks like an outside observer and cool head was all that was needed. Thank again. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 13:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I know you feel you do not know too much about the situation, but if you have read over the summaries by both parties and agree with one of the summaries you can endorse one. You do not have to write out your own piece on the situation. Also I do appreciate the help you offered to the Iraq War article, its an idea I offered but was shot down in a mediation cabal. I think it took an outsider to the conflict to make the decission seem unbiased. Some of what you may have read over is just a part of it, some of it was archived. The best part about this whole thing is while we may have different views on the war itself, I was still able to see how useful your edits were.

Just to state my beliefs, I think the war is morally bankrupt. However legally its on solid ground till an international court decides to look into it. The issue with my edits is, facts d not support my personal view, and so I put only what I can factually prove and source in the article, I dont think I will ever be able to prove some of my outlandish views on why the US went to war. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 10:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Your User Page

Hey, I was just randomly perusing UserPages looking for inspiration for my own when I stumbled upon yours. I have to say it's the most aesthetically pleasing page I've ever seen on Wikipedia, period. Did you design it yourself? Very clean, crisp and elegant. Anyway, just thought I'd throw some wikiprops your way. Namaste. Nscheffey^(T/C) 16:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I did design it myself. Good luck on designing your page and if you need or want any help, you can always contact me. joturner 16:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Tagi AFD

I posted a message like this on the Tagi AFD page. It was for you and three other editors. You wanted to make it a redirect. I said that if Tagi becomes a redirect why not every tribe in Survivor history? What makes it special?TeckWiz^TalkContribs_Guestbook 11:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

That's fine. I think every Survivor tribe in history should redirect to their appropriate season. Why not? By the way, the link to the Contribs in your sig is broken, you need to change Special:Contribution to Special:Contributions. Cheers. --Nscheffey^(T/C) 12:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me no about the broken link. However, I'm pretty sure many users (including me) would list these for RFD. Even now you can see the article isn't deserving of a redirect, otherwise every tribe would have one. Just a guess I don't think anyone would actually search for Tagi. Instead they would go to Survivor: Borneo's page to look at it. Please comment back. Sigs broken but:TeckWiz^TalkContribs_Guestbook 12:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Even though you might not think anyone would search for a specific Survivor tribe rather than the season itself, it is better to be safe than sorry. This is why we have redirects for misspellings, etc. The possible good of keeping the redirect far outweighs any reason for deleting it. --Nscheffey^(T/C) 12:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
