	:I'm not aware of any convention like that. It is definitely a convention, however, that when one acceptable format/style type has become established it shouldn't be changed to a different formatting/style type. Also, even if your point was generally true it wouldn't apply in this particular case since we're talking about a template which, by nature, needs to maintain one consistent style wherever it's used. -- ] (]) 18:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

			== Ejection seats in Gemini spacecraft ==
	I see you changed "England" to "United Kingdom" in the Draft Dodger article. While England is definitely a country, I am not sure about the UK. At any moment the component parts may separate, for one thing. The UK doesn't have a football team either, while England, Scotland, and Wales do. Furthermore, in the context of the article, the use of "United Kingdom" was not as common as "Great Britain" in the sixties, but in any case (context again) Bill Clinton was in England proper (at Oxford) when his induction notice was sent to him, so the use of England was both correct and more specific to the article. I'm not going to revert it, but it seems to me to lose specificity and period for the sale of political correctness. I too have lived in both the USA (Oregon, can I say that? Or does it have to be USA?) and Britain, now in England. ] (]) 15:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

			Hi, re {{diff\|Gemini 6A\|424139162\|423815478\|this edit}} - whilst it is true that in spacecraft, astronauts lie on their backs at launch, the Gemini seats would have ejected through the hatches, which are set in the cabin "ceiling", not the spacecraft nose. See ] and ]. The motion would therefore have been horizontal and not vertical; and since the astronauts were also horizontal, this therefore means that spinal compression would still have been a hazard. --] (]) 12:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
	:How weird: I'm from the UK (London, specifically) and now I live in Oregon! :) But anyway, this is a fairly common issue with editors who aren't from the UK. The full name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", with the short form being "United Kingdom". England is actually ''not'' a country today in any international sense, any more than Oregon is a country, for example. England, along with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is just one of the component parts of the United Kingdom. The existence of separate football teams is just a historical throwback and means nothing, plus there are other sports in which the UK competes as "Great Britain" anyway, e.g. athletics and rugby league. (Note that in those cases the team is called "Great Britain" and not "United Kingdom" because Northern Ireland is not fully represented - people from there get to choose whether they want to compete with the Great Britain team, or with the Republic of Ireland team).
			:Right you are! Thanks for the info - I didn't know that. -- ] (]) 19:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
	:Anyway, as far as this article goes, it would be correct to say "United Kingdom" when talking about where draft dodgers went because they did not only go to England. In the Clinton example, you can nominally get away with saying "England", since that is technically correct (he was studying at Oxford University, which is of course in England), but since we're writing for an international audience I think it's better to say "United Kingdom" in order to avoid confusion, since that's the name of country. If the situation were reversed, with British people dodging the draft and going to the US, the article would be talking about draft dodgers going to "the United States", rather than "to Arkansas" (or wherever), because we can't assume that everyone knows Arkansas is part of the US. See what I mean? - ] (]) 20:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

			{\|style="background:#d5dceb; border:1px solid #6881b9; margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em;border-radius: 8px;"
	Hux, I want to say personally that I appreciate your wisdom in dealing with the public domain template abuse that I have perceived, and your advice/comments in the Template talk forum and beforehand. I will continue to respond in the Template talk forum. But FYI, I am proceeding along the lines of addressing pics uploaded without source linking, which is the first level before addressing question of copyright after source is identified, with one user. My contacts on this point with the one user have mostly been in the following notices to his talk page:
			\|-
	*]
			!colspan=2 style="font-size:150%; padding: .4em;"\| You are invited! ]
	*]
			\|-
	I do feel awkward about being a negative enforcer on this, as I am mainly working in wikipedia to develop list-articles on National Historic Landmarks (NHLs), and this one editor has been adding to the NHL lists for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. My main previous interaction with him was also negative: I previously tore out a bunch of his work in those list-articles which was basically pasted-in public domain text (not a copyright violation, but in my view unhelpful in developing the list-articles). If you have comments for me about how I am proceeding with that I would be glad to receive them. Sincerely, ] (]) 09:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

	:Thanks for the kind words! Tagging images for deletion that aren't conforming with policy is, imo, a valuable activity. Even though I think there are still problems with the way Misplaced Pages is handling licensing of creative works, I think it's better that we err on the side of caution and try to clean up those images that lack source information and proper tags. I don't think we need to go further than those established policies require though.
	:With regard to public domain text, I'm also not a huge fan of the mass cut and paste, but my objection is on the basis of style: cutting and pasting a bunch of text from elsewhere just doesn't result in a good article. However, it ''can'' serve as a basis for a good article, so while just cutting and pasting is pretty lazy, I don't think that wiping it all out is the solution. Better to improve on it, I think. Also, revert big chunks of text purely on the basis that it's been cut/pasted from elsewhere is very likely to create bad feeling, which is another reason I'd argue against it.
	:I guess that's my two cents! -- ] (]) 20:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

	Hi Hux, do you realise that many of the refs you are removing have already been ] and consensus decided they were appropriate? ] 07:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
	:I don't know which refs you're referring to, but I don't see any ''consensus'' on that page for any of the sources. What I do see is several people with different opinions, and I have to say that some of those people appear to be ] in this article. Further, I believe the only links I removed were those from the rickross and religiousnewsblog sites, which were simply links purporting to be reprints of extant news articles. Such links are inherently unreliable (because a party with an axe to grind can so easily change the text) and in any case I see that you yourself conceded that they we shouldn't use them, so I guess I'm kind of confused as to where you're coming from here. I'm simply a disinterested party who is trying to improve the article according to ] and ]. -- ] (]) 08:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
	::The "rickross" and "religiousnewsblog" cites are cited to the original media. I've seen the media on the original publishers. 3 outside editors who commented -- Cirt, Bumm13 and John Broughton -- said this was fine. The other outside editor who commented didn't comment on the page, just policy, which is not in dispute. You also didn't just remove those cites: you also removed a 7days cite, a Donga cite, and an APTV cite. I do appreciate outside editors helping out, but please use the ] to discuss changes, especially when they contradict other disinterested parties. ] 09:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
	:::I think it's probably better to discuss this further on the talk page. But I do strongly advise you to take a look at ] - phrases such as, "I do appreciate outside editors helping out", are not appropriate for Misplaced Pages. There are no "outside editors" and neither you nor anyone else owns that article, or any other. We are all free to ] and attempt to improve articles as we see fit within the scope of established policy. -- ] (]) 19:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
	:::: I think that you misunderstood what I meant by "outside editor". I meant it to mean "a disinterested party" in your words. They weren't involved in the original dispute, hence they are "outside". I definitely not implying that I don't want them there, as implied by ] comments. I said "appreciate", didn't I? ;) Anyway, I'm waiting for your comment on the talk page. ] 00:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

	Dear Hux, I'm not a Misplaced Pages pro so I'll keep it brief. I was browsing the 'Komuz' page and noticed your request to know the tunings used for the komuz. If you're still looking, I believe the most thorough reference for this is Slobin's 'Kirgiz Instrumental Music'. I think there is quite a detailed account of tunings used, as well as chords even. If you can't find a copy (it's quite a ratty and rare 'Society for Asian Music' issue from 1969) then I'd be pleased to copy you the relevant sections. Anything to help popularise this relatively unknown instrument. For my part, I'd dearly like to know how best to restring the darn thing. Have you any experience with regard to this?

Orphaned non-free image File:Queen i want to break free video still.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Queen i want to break free video still.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Looks like someone found a better image to upload to the I Want to Break Free article, so I'm just gonna let this one get deleted. Thanks for the heads up! -- Hux (talk) 20:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Ejection seats in Gemini spacecraft

Hi, re this edit - whilst it is true that in spacecraft, astronauts lie on their backs at launch, the Gemini seats would have ejected through the hatches, which are set in the cabin "ceiling", not the spacecraft nose. See this diagram and this one. The motion would therefore have been horizontal and not vertical; and since the astronauts were also horizontal, this therefore means that spinal compression would still have been a hazard. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Right you are! Thanks for the info - I didn't know that. -- Hux (talk) 19:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Nancy, Lady McCartney

Thanks for your good faith edit at Personal relationships of Paul McCartney. However, in this particular case you happened to be mistaken – it is not only the wives of lords who are ladies – when John Smith is knighted (Sir John Smith), his wife Jane becomes "Lady McCartney" by courtesy.

The Lee R. Berger whose content you had early interest in

…received a thorough going over today, because—thought the subject is clearly notable, and worthy of an article—the content remains self-promotional, largely unsourced, and when sourced, apparently is drawn from the professor's self-published CV at his personal web page.

I did what I could today, to bring existing references to an acceptable style, and to note unsourced sections, but I would appreciate you visiting and commenting in Talk (give me 30 mins to create a Talk section for today)—in case the Professor or others close to him object to the new direction (toward encyclopedic content) being taken with the article.

Note, I too dislike tags, but I dislike more articles that are made to look encyclopedic, while in fact being mostly self-published material, and articles on science subjects drawn mostly from newspaper articles (rather than scholarly reviews/good secondary sources).

File permission problem with File:Famke Janssen snakeskin jacket.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Famke Janssen snakeskin jacket.jpg, which you've attributed to Flickr washing. Tons of copyrighted images on the user's profile. No evidence of ownership. Image is available all over the Internet.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nymf (talk) 13:36, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Famke Janssen snakeskin jacket.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Famke Janssen snakeskin jacket.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Gah! That'll learn me for trusting a Flickr user's license without checking. Apologies! (And thanks.) -- Hux (talk) 03:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fender Jazzmaster, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page My Bloody Valentine. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free image File:A house i am the greatest album cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:A house i am the greatest album 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:16, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

——Serial 18:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

July 2020

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Misplaced Pages about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Reckful. No RS has reported his death yet. Do not re-add. ——Serial 18:32, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Yep, see my note on talk page. I assumed that Newsweek was reputable enough but should've looked more closely at the actual article. My bad. --- Hux (talk) 18:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Deutsche Reichspartei, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christian Democratic Union. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I'm not that kind of editor; someone else (or a bot) can expand the ref if they like (assuming that's what you're referring to). Or you could be bold and do it yourself. (Side note: you might consider adopting a friendlier tone. Scolding strangers is a really quick way to make them not care about the things you say.) -- Hux (talk) 05:20, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Euro 2024

Before making changes which impact a prominent article such as UEFA Euro 2024, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the tournament rules and regulations. Head-to-head results always apply first in UEFA tiebreakers, which is why Portugal have won their group. Given the third-placed teams from Groups A and B have less than 4 points, England, France and the Netherlands are assured of a spot in the knockout stage. S.A. Julio (talk) 05:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
