For the record

In reference to your comment on Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Pilot (House), Featured articles are not chosen based on subject. They are chosen based on the quality. The articles length and topic are not a factor. A good example of articles that are not chosen based on topic is the Exploding whale article. To sum it all up: it's quality not quantity. The Filmaker 04:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• I'd like to request that you stop by and give your support at least give some actionable objection to the article becoming an FA. The Filmaker 20:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Re:Misunderstanding

Hello there, I'm afraid that type of information can be seen as inappropriate for an article. Misplaced Pages tries to be as factually accurate as possible and information like that which you added is unverifiable. Thinking of it logically, did someone go around and ask each and every person there to see if they were gay? And even then, would the population all have been honest? It's for these reasons I reverted you additions to the article. --Sagaciousuk 06:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Also:

In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

Lost

I've copied your article to wikiasite:lost:Flashes Before Your Eyes in case it is deleted from here. Feel free to use Wikia for rumors about future episodes with might violate Misplaced Pages's crystal ball policy. Angela. 17:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Flashes Before Your Eyes

I know how you feel, but this page has not been confirmed by ABC, so it will be deleted unless it has official confirmation. Thank you. -- SilvaStorm

On a further note, there is a good chance your edits concerning this rumoured episode will be seen as vandalism, and you may be subsequently banned. Please don't make these edits or create pages until official confirmation (ABC). -- SilvaStorm

Image copyright problem with Image:OfficeNBC.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:OfficeNBC.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Deleting articles

Hi there, you left a note on Devin (The Office) for the article to be deleted, which should be carried out shortly. In future, please do not leave a page like this as this gives the false impression there is an article there when there isn't. Please either move the article to a new title (as would have been appropriate in this case), redirect it to another article (if you would have found that the article already exists) or have the page deleted by an administrator (in this case, you could have placed {{db-author}} on the page as you were the only contributor). Thanks, and happy editing, mattbr 14:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on OfficeTally.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article seems 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 Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing 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 its subject's notability under the 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. thadius856_{talk|airports|neutrality} 20:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandal

He's been stopped in his tracks. Cheers. -- Longhair\ 01:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:ImpatientBarnstar.png

Thanks for uploading Image:ImpatientBarnstar.png. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, 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:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 16:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

My request for adminship has closed successfully (79/0/1), so it appears that I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your vote of confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. IrishGuy 01:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Durham NC

I see you're adding this project banner to some articles. That's great, but I wanted to make a humble suggestion. You needn't add the Template: part inside the brackets. {{WikiProject Durham NC}} will achieve the same effect. It'll work either way, just saves a bit of typing. Hope that helps, and good luck with the project! :) --Ebyabe 17:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

DSA

- I'm not sure, but I don't thinki that that's it. DSA's IP has been blocked for 6 months. By the way, can I be part of WikiProject Durham NC? I live here, so it would be fun.Jonwilliamsl 00:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Task Force

Hey mrcrabby- Don't you think that this WikiProject would be better as a task force of WikiProject North Carolina? Durham only has about 3 dozen pages-we could work under the NC administrators and they could do the boring stuff while we just edited the Durham pages. Jonwilliamsl

Regarding Deletion of a Tag on Devon's (The Office) Entry

I am not bound to discuss removing the tag. Here is a quote from the tag's disclaimer:

"You may remove this message if you improve the article, or if you otherwise object to deletion of the article for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, it should not be replaced."

Notice the wording. "If you otherwise object...for any reason." I am told that it "helps" to explain why I feel the object should not be deleted. I don't wish to help, I wish for Devon to remain on Misplaced Pages.

I see you're a Duke fan. That, along with your desire to delete Devon, is unfortunate.

A suggestion

In May 2005, Durham School of the Arts performed The Laramie Project, about a homosexual being beaten and killed. Ten members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church came from Topeka, Kansas to protest. They were met by over 200 counter-protesters. In fact, counter protesters out showed the protesters 10 to 1. The actors and producers were given the Independent Weekly's Valor Award for ignoring protests by Phelp's group. Victuallers 11:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

refs can be done this way

1. A demo of an inline ref

ok

Where are you stuck? .... I'm guessing that you don't have the reflist in curly brackets... I'll wait 10 mins then have a go if you fail. Victuallers 14:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC) (PS. The Carol Stills article doesn't make it obvious that she is in the (derivative? :-) ) US version until the box at the end.

Ive done the second reference. Have a look and see if you can do the other two... If not then tell me and I'll undo my edits Victuallers 15:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:DurhamSchooloftheArts logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:DurhamSchooloftheArts logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 01:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Do me a Favor

Re your message: Egads, I'm really sorry for the delay in getting back to you. =\ Your message was lost between a couple of other messages left for me and I didn't notice until now. Sorry about that. I deleted the two redirects. Instead of waiting for me to notice, you can tag the articles with {{db-author}} and another more attentive than I admin should delete them. -- Gogo Dodo 07:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
