Matt Ouimet

I would just like to take the oppurtunity to say thanks for what you did to the above article, it really made a big difference to the quality. You have a good way with words!--Speedway 20:31, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Anaheim, California

Thanks for adding to the Anaheim, California page. Are you a resident?

I made a few changes to the content you added. The Richard Nixon freeway was never built, except for a section in Marina Del Rey. Were you thinking of CA-90 (Imperial Highway)? Also, Euclid and Magnolia are both Streets, since they're north-south. I took out the links for Beach and Harbor, since no articles currently exist and the links would have to be disambiguated anyway (they're far from the only streets of those names in the world). —Morven 00:28, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

Syllabification

Don't worry about it. I notice you're relatively new to Wikipedia, so welcome. :-). It's been my experience that trying to be clever never quite works out the way it was intended on Wikipedia articles, and kind of detracts from the "serious" tone we try to set. Not that we have to be stilted or stodgy, but too light of a tone and we risk being not taken seriously. Anyway, keep up the good contributions and if you get caught up in any Wikipedia politics, don't let it scare you off. Cheers! P.S. it's easier to figure out who to respond to if you sign your comments using ~~~~. Nohat 07:08, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Literate

Yeah, I didn't think you were trying to be insulting. You're totally (heh, 'totally', akin here to 'like' elsewhere) right to be more specific than my generic 'some', but I couldn't think of a better way to put it off hand. Maybe there's a way to indicate proscriptivist tendencies of particular groups without stating their positive or negative qualities? -Seth Mahoney 01:53, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

southern vs. Southern

I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on your explanation of "Southern" being "idiomatic." The Associated Press stylebook indicates the proper way to describe a region, assuming it is not discrete in a political or other sense, is to leave the first letter of the qualifer uncapitalized. So while southern California should be spelled with a lower-case "s," South Carolina should be spelled with a capital "s." Just because many people often make the mistake of throwing a capital "s" onto southern California does not mean we should disregard the proper way to portray the term. (unsigned -- Curps 05:51, 21 April 2005 (UTC))

MOS:CL governs Wikipedia's use of capital letters, not the Associated Press stylebook. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style, regions that are proper nouns, including widely known expressions such as Southern California, start with a capital letter. -- Jreferee 16:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

California stub categories

I note you've created two new stub templates. Did you realise that stub types should normally be cleared by Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting before creation? That way they can be vetted to check that there are a viable number of stubs (at least 60-100) and that the category does not cross the existing stub hierarchy before the stub is created. In the case of the two California stubs it looks okay, but if you're planning to make any more categories, we'd like to know first! Also, there was a discussion at WP:WSS a couple of months ago where it was decided that individual US state stubs should only be created if there is a specific WikiProject for them - otherwise we'd suddenly get 50 new stub categories overnight, plus 50 more geo-stub categories! Is there such a project for California?

One more thing - the single most important thing a stub template must have is a category. Otherwise, you're just consigning the stubs marked into the void, probably never to be seen by the editors who should be seeing them. I have created stub categories for the templates to make sure they go somewhere they can be found... Oh, and if you're interested in helping sort stubs, we're always looking for new members of the project! Grutness|^hello? 11:33, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Iraq article

There is an ongoing discussion and vote on the talk page (now, because of your move, at Talk:Iraq War of 2003), about how the article should be titled. Several editors are proposing alternatives, addressing the pros and cons of each, etc. If you think that the title 2003 Invasion of Iraq is inappropriate, you should participate in that process, rather than unilaterally moving the article yourself. I've asked the admins to undo the move, pending the results of the discussion and polling on the talk page. Because this is a subject on which many people have strong opinions, it would be better for you to express your opinions by commenting on the talk page. Any move should be deferred until the process is completed. JamesMLane 03:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

No problem. Good luck with your discussion.--Plainsong 03:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I voted and I think I changed it back to how it was before. Thanks for the heads up.Plainsong 04:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Here's another heads up: Don't do cut-and-paste moves! I know you were just trying to change it back to the way it was before, but I'm afraid you made the problem worse. Now the article text is at one title and its history is at another title. To make a simple, uncontroversial move, you should use the "Move this page" function. If that won't work, see the discussion at Wikipedia:Requested moves about how to proceed. (An admin can do the move so that the history doesn't get fouled up.) I'll see about getting someone to fix this. It's a bit of bother for an admin but no disaster; still, please remember: Don't do cut-and-paste moves! JamesMLane 04:37, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the article's talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt/archive1. PedanticallySpeaking 14:57, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

Iraq War

Nice idea to move the article (Ive done it before myself). We and those of a similar mind should certainly see to it that others do not revert it to its previous dissected state. Claims of POV or NPOV seem to be moot on the issue, and without an arbitrating body to decide on the neutrality of the title, its rather an issue of making the change and sticking to it. A WP:RFC may be a good idea as well. -St|eve 08:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for adding Doris Allen (politician)

Thank you for adding the Doris Allen (politician) stub. As you may have noticed, I am working on building out of a list of speakers of the California State Assembly.

About the picture you added as an important city or town,coolceasar might tell you hes going to delete it. I did the same thing, with hollywood, he said its not concidered a city and other things.

Viacom (1986)

I don't think it's wise to move the Viacom (1986) article I created to one that indicates the year 1971. The prior Viacom was not founded in 1971: it was founded in 1986. There was some sort of previous instance of the company that existed from 1971-1986, but I haven't yet researched the details of it or why it was refounded. Nonetheless, I expect that there may be a separate article in the future covering the 1971 instance. That's why I created it as "Viacom (1986)", and I used only the founding year in the title to follow the convention of Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886) and Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1998), the latter company of which is still in existence, and both of which are highly intertwined with the CBS-Viacom transactions.

Edit summaries

It'd help your fellow editors understand what you're up to if you'd use the edit summaries. When I see a chunk of text deleted without comment I tend to assume it was a mistake or an unhelpful edit. Cheers, -Will Beback 07:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

You have recently created the article Tom Daly. This was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article: if you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Kimchi.sg 16:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

If you want to appeal the deletion, make a request on Deletion review, in the "Decisions to be reviewed" section. There's no need for me to undelete the text at this point - sysops can still see the text of the deleted article as if it were still around. Kimchi.sg 22:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Anaheimdland.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Anaheimdland.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Indon (reply) — 11:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

An editor has nominated the article Culture of California 1800s to mid 1900s for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Culture of California 1800s to mid 1900s. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Culture of California 1800s to mid 1900s during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

Fox Sullivan

A tag has been placed on John Fox Sullivan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ROGER ^TALK 22:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Groat's syndrome

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Groat's syndrome, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Panoptical 22:16, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Orange Lutheran

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Orange Lutheran, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Orange Lutheran is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Orange Lutheran, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Combining Talk Discussions Re Disney Film Lists

Dear SpikeJones, Kasper2006, Elikrotupos, SWatsi, Blitz Lutte, NealP, LtPowers, SofaKing381222, Collectionian, Cartoon Boy, Casey14, Chris1219, NuclearWarfare, SkinnyPrude, and Parker 1297:

Recently, it appears that you all have been interested in the various Disney discussions regarding the proper categorization of Disney animated films. There has been recent activity regarding the proper structure of the various Disney feature length film lists. Unfortunately the discussions regarding the lists / pages are taken place on a number of talk pages. Before we get further into a long discussion regarding the various structural issues with regards to List of Disney theatrical animated features, Template:Disney theatrical animated features, Walt Disney Animated Classics, Category:Disney animated features canon, List of Disney feature films‎ and what ever other lists are out there, I would suggest that we somehow combine the discussions (both past and present) into one place. This will allow easy review on single page for users interested in this matter. It will also allow future users an easy access to whatever rational is used to support the structure of the various lists (including keeping or merging certain lists.). I believe that in placing this discussion in one central location, it alleviates repetitive discussion, allows issues are not constantly revisited in different locations and hopefully sets the future standard in updating the various lists with the verifiable sources. I honestly do not know if there is Wikipedia policy on this, nor do I know what the proper way of creating such a place. But I do believe it would useful.

I have posted this suggestion on the all the User’s talk pages above and apologize if I have missed any person who may be interested in this matter. If you know of a user interested in this matter, please invite any that person to discuss these issues. .If I have included you and you have no interest in this matter, I sincerely apologize and please delete this message.
