Please do not upload images in the GIF format

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that you've uploaded a couple of images in the GIF format. In the future, please save GIF images in the PNG format before converting (see Misplaced Pages:Preparing images for upload). PNG images almost always have a smaller file size, which decreases the amount of time they take to load. There are a bunch of other advantages to the PNG format such as lossless compression that you can read about on its Misplaced Pages article. ---Remember the dot 05:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

SF meetup

Hi Lotsofissues, I'd like to plan another San Francisco meetup this spring. If you're interested, please provide some input for your preferred dates and location. Thanks! phoebe (brassratgirl) /(talk) 23:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

We could! Jimbo's travel schedule is here; his next trip is 4-7 April 2007. That would be fine with me; I've not talked to him about it. Next trip is in May. -- phoebe (brassratgirl) /(talk) 02:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the revert, but your edit summary certainly did not lead one to believe that it was a good faith edit. Montco 04:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Too many racists in this country. Too bad.

It is very interesting how an error can creep in and get repeated until it seems real.

I am guessing Rick either was messed up or his handwriting was illegible when he supplied the information for his driver's license.

Why not ask Carol, Rick's publicist, to verify the date with Rick's widow Elizabeth?

'Custody'

Just wanted to point out that the term used more often these days is 'residence' rather than 'custody'. The shift in use from 'custody' to 'residence' and from 'access' to 'contact' puts the focus back on the child rather than focusing on the parents' rights over the child. Not had a chance to read your page in full but good luck with creating a neutral POV on this one! Best wishes, V

Thad's origin

I asked him personally about this and he said he was born in Tucson but raised in Los Angeles. Hope this helps.

Resource Exchange

Hi, can you please take a look at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Resource Exchange, I need your opinion on a big merge concerning your project. Key to the city 12:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Erik Eastaugh deletion

I notice you voted against this being kept last time. I have renominated it. Currently the vote is in favour of delete anyway, but not enough people have voted, so if you could ask objective people to look this over and give their thoughts, this page can be decided on sooner rather than later.

www.resolution.co.uk

 I've recently been through the system in the uk courts for 3 years. 

See www.resolution.co.uk code of conduct and compare to my experiences. lots of solicitors on this site flagrantly ignore the code of conduct - people need to complain.

basically when you get your first solicitors letter from the ex for minor incident (ie a text message for instance and you are often antagonised into your first minor incident) the women are fully trained and prepared for a process called 'doing your ex's head in' basically they have to use every technique available so that you respond for a second time (ie go to there house or send a text) to achieve this they will tell your friends your a danger to your kids(best done on sat night when your out with friends) dress your kids in old clothes and parade them past you etc... if you apologise to them your told how sensitive your kids are – months later you find out that they can say your kids are scared of you etc.. with no evidence so you have to write with no letters back for months (your kids conveniently love to get your letters but don’t want to write back because they’ve been programmed to hate you )

if you have bought a child up for years from a baby her solicitor will not only stop you going to the school but also tell the school not to recognise you as dad (i bought my son up from one month old).

 you complain about hyprocrisy to caffcass when your accused of unreliability/drink problem(2 texts is a drink problem) as she can live with a drug addict and schools don't comment on reliability - there gagged. i picked my kids up for 3 days a week without fail.

  by the time you hire a barrister and got a court hearing  years have gone by – my one hearing in wales took 6months to get to court. Your child tells cafcass its wrecked his life but then you are subjected to human bear baiting outside the court in the corridors ( a practice used all the time often men being put in a room why the ex throws abuse through a door or they say in earshot how there going to call your exs new boyfriend personally that the case is being dragged out)

when you first meet cafcass the ex is alloqwed to go on and on until something hits anerve and then you respond despite being concillatory they will say in the report there is animosity between them BOTH.

At cafcass if you admit occasionally letting your ex down when she has as well the man is branded unreliable and no mention of her reliability.

It’s a secretive system – resolution website www.resolution.co.uk is what solicitors have done to desperately look like there above reproach – but they wont say they agree with video surveillance or condemn human bear baiting.

You basically start off as a generally cool dad who is reduced to a shell, humiliated and mocked , everything is twisted against you, I was unable to mention the emotional damage of reducing my childs time from 3 days to 2 hrs over a minor incident. My son now has behaviour problems and my daughter is scared of me because my ex has trained her because she knows it will delay things for months.

You must mention unwritten techniques to destroy fathers attempts at getting a democratic hearing – you have no proof so I cant complain to resolution – photographic /video equipment isn’t allowed in court. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANSTEYMAGGS (talk • contribs) 11:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Your signature...

..should not have external links in it per WP:SIG. Fortunately, I see they're just internal links - you should use ] not a external link. -Wooty   06:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello - I just clicked on your signature in Talk:Bill Bailey thinking that someone was linking to an external article that gave "lots of issues" about the subject of the comment. Please take a moment to replace these with internal links, so as not to confuse people like me. Thanks! --McGeddon (talk) 19:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sergeant york movie poster.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sergeant york movie poster.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation 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. Podkapova (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Varian v. Delfino

Dear Sir/Madam: I made an addition to Varian v. Delfino today that was soon deleted for reasons unclear to me. I believe what I contributed was accurate and can be easily substantiated. Please research accordingly as I believe the relevancy of the addition to the Section 230 CDA immunity is important. I do understand that people are still trying to harm Delfino's reputation but even a most cursory examination of my addition will show that Delfino v. Agilent was a legal defeat for Delfino and certainly not something I would think he would wish to promote. Thanks in advance for your consideration as no vandalism was intended. Mel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.77.123 (talk) 23:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Madam: I am uncertain as to how to contribute to this article but I would like to suggest the following revision:

"... the resulting trial completely void. In so doing the Court remanded the case back to the Santa Clara County Superior Court for a new trial. In March 2006, on the eve of trial, the case settled amicably after which Delfino and Day went on to write the non-fiction books Cancer: We Live and Die by Radiation and Death Penalty USA 2005 - 2006.

Amicus curiae briefs in support of Delfino and Day were filed by the Office of the Attorney General, the California Newspaper Association with the Los Angeles Times, Oakland Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle, and the ACLU.

During the course of the litigation the FBI arrested and the U.S. Attorney prosecuted an Agilent Technologies employee who e-mailed death threats to Delfino and Day from work. The events culminated in Delfino v. Agilent Technologies, Inc. (2006) 145 Cal.App.4th 790; (2007) 128 S.Ct. 98, an important first impression case that extends Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunity to all employers."

Please let me know if you think that my contribution is worthy of inclusion. Thank you in advance. Mel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.77.123 (talk) 17:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Ref Desk

I noted that no objective answer existed for the IP's question about debate skills so that the IP could know why the question was inappropriate for the Ref Desk. Frankly, I was quite tempted to delete the whole thing, as I suspect it's being used as a way to surreptitiously post a POV rant with no further goal in mind. I'm trying to wean myself from taking such strong action on borderline cases, though, so I went with the explanation instead. Additionally, you may wish to remember that tone of voice can be hard to interpret through text. My initial reading of your post interpreted your words as condescension, and it took me a minute to correct that notion. — Lomn 14:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. 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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. 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! --SineBot (talk) 03:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Boycott Campaign

I thought you might be interested in this template since you expressed support for boycotting Misplaced Pages on my sub-userpage. --LatinoMuslim 15:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Checking ancestry.com shows that there is a California birth index record with the following information:

California Birth Index, 1905-1995 about Thad William Allen Name: Thad William Allen Birth Date: 16 Jan 1949 Gender: Male Mother's Maiden Name: Bailey Birth County: Los Angeles

So Tuscon would seem suspect.

I believe the information on the source database can be seen by anyone here:

http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=5247&enc=1

The actual database record can only be seen by a paid user of Ancestry.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snorkelman (talk • contribs) 15:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Selectivity

It's worth noting that selectivity is not always a "pure marketing" term or concept and it may be appropriate in articles to label institutions as selective or even highly selective. For example, selectivity is one criteria defined by and used in one of the Carnegie Classifications: Undergraduate Profile. --ElKevbo (talk) 13:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
