Water for Elephants

Are you going to nominate it for Did you know? Durova 04:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder - I just did. Fingers crossed! - Skinny McGee 16:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Water for Elephants

On 5 April, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Water for Elephants, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Barnstar

Now I'll make you an offer: only one editor at Misplaced Pages has ever earned dual user awards from me. If you raise any page to good article status you can be the second. Warmly, Durova 02:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Inspiration

Just wanted to let you know, you've inspired me to create a new set of personal user awards that includes a special edition award you might like to try for: User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle. Durova 02:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Midnight syndicate promo photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Midnight syndicate promo photo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages 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. J Milburn 10:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I think, for the infobox, the logo would be the best bet. However, I agree that this image could find a place in the article, as you say, due to the ghosts and artistic nature of it, to demonstrate the image that the band has created for themselves. However, a lower resolution copy would be better. If you think it should be kept in this manner, write a sourced section (just a couple of lines, and it needn't have its own heading) about the imagery, and stick this image inline next to it.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:13th hour cd cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:13th hour cd cover.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot 20:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Kindermusik

I am in the process of adding a page for Kindermusik International which contains all their company blurb. I don't personally feel that this should be part of Misplaced Pages, but I will create it and then everybody can decide if this commercial company is worthy of a page. I think listing Kindermusik International within the definition of kindermusik is very confusing - there are a huge number of programmes in Germany and the UK which supply kindermusik and aren't run by Kindermusik International. Hope that helps.Sarcasmon 15:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of content from Nox Arcana Darklore Manor cd page

I noticed you removed some content from the Nox Arcana, Darklore Manor page, calling it original research. I referenced 3 published sources, so it is not original research. Plus, it's all part of the cd booklets. Also, just because a reference is old (like when a website is changed), it does not mean the article is invalid. I did find another source for you though for the Midnight Syndicate video. There's actually a few places hosting the video. I also found mention of the story in several interviews, and so I added some bit of detail on characters too. But I don't think it would be proper to post more Midnight Syndicate links on the Nox Arcana page. Thank you. Ebonyskye 18:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing typos I made in my recent edit to U.S. Route 189

I swear I spell checked before I pushed submit, I swear it. =-) Davemeistermoab 22:00, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem! I actually enjoy looking for typos - it's a great way to see a lot of what Misplaced Pages has to offer. And thank you for thanking me - I really appreciate it! - Skinny McGee 22:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Midnight Syndicate

At the request of Ebonyskye I have reviewed the evidence page in the arbitration case and I am reasonably convinced that you are, or are associated with, Edward Douglas. As such, the prohibition against editing Midnight Syndicate and related articles (other bands, albums, etc) applies to you as well. Please do not edit these articles again. You may make comments and suggestions on the talk pages.

The arbitration case allows admins to ban editors from articles and talk pages, or even indefinitely from Misplaced Pages itself, for "aggressive biased editing." I don't see that from either of you, and I believe you can continue to have good input on the article talk pages. When you have a disagreement about sources or policy, you should try a request for comment or a request for third opinion, or Misplaced Pages:Village pump (assistance). These are mechanisms to attract the attention of neutral editors to give their opinions on disputes or make edits for you. You can request enforcement of the arbitration decision at WP:AE should it be necessary in the future. If after a reasonable period of time you can demonstrate that you and Ebonyskye can edit cooperatively and collaboratively without edit warring, you can appeal the probations and ask that they be lifted. Good luck. Thatcher131 14:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
