Hi Chooserr,
I answered your question at ] as follows:


You wrote, "I...definitely don't think I should be the only one who has to remove the links on his page."
He is in the right. The question is not whether the bracelet is copyrighted but whether the image that you posted is copyrighted. I could take a picture of an orange. The orange isn't copyrighted, but the picture would be. If you don't provide source information for the image, we have to assume that it is copyrighted. ] ] 06:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)


Of course you shouldn't be, and aren't. I'm going to ask you, Ellis, Alienus and anyone else watching this page to ''let me know'' if you see anything else like this, for any off-wiki cause, and I'll do what I can (possibly, not much) to see that it's taken care of.] 06:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Another comment: The image is copyrighted, as you yourself state; "The copyright was for 2001". However, copyright in images and text does not expire after one year, or even four; a 2001 copyright notice effectively means that the image is copyrighted for the best part of the coming century. ] | ] | 14:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

:''I'm only following wikipedia policy...'' Bull. Or to use a phrase more regionally suited, complete bollocks.

NPOV ''is'' policy, not an obstacle for you to get around. --] | ] 00:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


Chooser, My personal reaction to ] is, '''yuk'''. However, it doesn't appear to be a solicitation. I'd remove it were it up to me, just because it gives me the creeps. Do we really need to know all this? But I'm not sure that it falls into the same category, as it's not an overt solicitation. Let's run it by Sidaway.] 05:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:I'll also agree, Chooserr, that if Gorton is in the clear in maintaining his external link, then so are you, so long as you're not soliciting donations or linking to a page that does. Still, I'd rather you not. Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox. Misplaced Pages is not a battleground. Etc.
== Image:Condomfactsforum.jpg ==


:Gorton's userpage is intentionally provocative to most anyone who holds remotely traditional views in these regards - the premise is that Gorton is just telling us about him/herself, but like a lot of identity politics, it's also a "we're here, we're X, get used to it!" type socio-political statement.
The lack of a copyright notice on an image does not mean the image is not copyrighted. All works are copyrighted unless they are explicitly released into the public domain. As a rule of thumb, I'd suggest you please consider not uploading images that you personally do not own, or else learn a bit more about copyright and what uses are permissible before you upload images that you don't personally own. It simply creates more work for those of us who have to clean up and delete improperly sourced and licensed images. Regards, ] 21:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

:So, I think the rule - if here is one - is that you can your user page to trump your beliefs and personal activities completely unrelated to wikepedia. External links, too, are acceptable, so long as they don't solicit or advertise. We should use normal font sizes, so it doesn't sound like we're screaming, and keep it off user talk as per Alienus' objection.
Your Babel section gave me some inspiration to expand mine, yes, but I'm afraid it's gotten a bit out of hand ;) ] ] 13:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


:Personally, I'm disappointed - I think '''all''' off-topic and/or partisan info should go - but he's probably right in saying that Gorton's userpage is "normal", in the sense that WP editors often do post such material. So go on ahead. I'm sure if there's a problem, we'll hear about it.] 19:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
==Heteropride==
Oh yeah, a site whose name gets 238 Google hits. Very reliable, very noteworthy.


: I'm a bit worried about where this is going. As a Misplaced Pages editor, Nick Gorton deserves as much respect as anyone else. We cannot go around taking offence simply because somebody ''exists''. He does pro bono work for a health clinic that focuses on health care for transsexuals, and it's reasonable therefore to link to that clinic's website. --] 19:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
From
''Q. Why is there no straight pride?""
''From Kathy Belge,''
''Your Guide to Lesbian Life.''


::Of course you're absolutely right that Nick Gorton deserves respect as an editor - I don't know him or his contributions, so have no cause to judge.
''A.''
''Straight is the norm. The majority of the population is straight, or heterosexual. People who are straight are not put down or the brunt of jokes. They are not discriminated against for being straight. They do not have laws in place to make their relationships illegal. Most straight people never give being heterosexual a second thought. That is why there are no straight pride parades.''


::My point is actually rule number one, "Misplaced Pages is an Encyclopedia". T2 is just one facet of this. We often hear, this is not Myspace, and indeed it's not...''so what's all this Myspacey stuff doing on WP?'' It's time to actually start enforcing ], with an added provision in case the others aren't clear enough: '''it's not about us.'''] 20:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help. If you want to link to a category, rather than adding the page to that category, you need a colon just before the word "Category". By the way, I'm sorry about recent events. I saw some of it, but was very caught up with other things at the time. It's quite true that that link is not appropriate for a user or talk page, but the insinuation that you would have refused to take it down if shown that it violated policy was completely unjustified, and the vandalism of your talk page was in extremely poor taste.

Hey, Thank you for your attempt at the search - at least you made a fair attempt at actually using google. Yes, google comes up with thosuands of entries for cisman - it is an surname of the people of India. If you use the search '''cisman cisgender''' it will be reduced to a handful with the majority being from wikipedia itself. The logic here is simple, since cisman and cisgender are 'supose' to be complimentary terms, you would think that you would find them on the same page of text, but since they are not, then it is obvious that they do not allign and are not related. A second analogy would be that if you expect to find cisman 12,000 some times, you would also expect to find ciswoman the same number, and since you do not find but 107 of those, it would be easier to search through them, as I did with ''every'' entry. It is used as a handle and as a sig line, but not in a definition of what the word is. Thanks for at least looking. I will not delete your comment from cisgender, but I would appriciate it if you would modify it after you have verified what I have said here. Thanks again, ] 06:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, first off I would like to say '''You Are Welcome'''. The next thing I would like to ask of ''you'' before I can do any further is, where is the birth control article located (or my comment on the pic, rather) so I can see what exactly I posted regarding it. It would be of great importance if you told me this, because I do a many things on Misplaced Pages regarding censorship, but the so-called 'NPOV' policy also prevents me from reaching my full potential. Please also give me the direct links to these other explicit images so I can comment on them, for I'd rather not look at the images without...well, being 'prepared' in a sense.

Hi. AnnH has convinced me that I misread your tone and, as a result, gave you a stern warning when a gentle chat might have been better .

Also, the EC pill has been proven to delay ovulation, if taken at least 36 hours before ovulation would have occurred. Delaying ovulation gives time for sperm to die, so when ovulation actually happens there are no more sperm around and therefore no conception.

== Pro-abortion/Pro-choice ==

Hi Chooserr! Thanks for your message.

I've reviewed my post to Ros, and at no point did I use any terms regarding people being "pro-life", "anti-abortion" or any other term with the meaning implied, that someone was against the practice, theory, option or reality of abortion, medically, non-medically or back-street. My post was specifically about not using the semantically incorrect term "pro-abortion" (which would, by definition, mean being in favour of forcing, compelling or requiring abortion) when the option "pro-choice" (meaning to be in favour of the choice being available to one degree or another to women who may wish or need to use that choice).

Therefore, I'm afraid I don't understand your post to me or the correction to my use of the language. I'd be grateful if you could point me to a diff where I have misused English in the way you seem to be suggesting. Or perhaps your message was meant for any other user talking on that page, who I am not and am not in the position to speak for.

Please bear in mind what I said to Ros - I have very clear political views on abortion, but I have never expressed them on Misplaced Pages and therefore it is pointless to attempt to project any view point on to me: for the purposes of Misplaced Pages, I do not have one; in real life I do; but in neither case is anyone aware of what that viewpoint actually is.

Thanks for your time. ]<b>]]]</b> 18:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

== Condom usage instruction ==

Hi Chooserr,
I believe the usage instruction at teenwire (which is currently on the article about condoms) is of bad quality. The movie's size is very small and the compression is too high. Therefore I offered this link. I think it is better. Please let me know if I can add the link again.

****** EDIT ******
Sorry if I do not understand the conventions for posting and reacting on talk pages, but I guessed this is probably the place for you to look most often. The reason I posted the link is twofold.

1. The current movie (there is only one movie with instructions) is very, very bad of quality. Please take a look. The one I suggested is much better and more clear to understand.
2. I know the movie is on the website of a company (The Condomerie), but this movie (and a lot of other information on there website) is not commercial.

Please let me know if we can agree on adding the link (and if needed removing the teenwire link).

Kind regards,

The only one

Hi Chooserr,

You wrote, "I...definitely don't think I should be the only one who has to remove the links on his page."

Of course you shouldn't be, and aren't. I'm going to ask you, Ellis, Alienus and anyone else watching this page to let me know if you see anything else like this, for any off-wiki cause, and I'll do what I can (possibly, not much) to see that it's taken care of.Timothy Usher 06:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course. This should apply across the board. Al 20:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


Absolutely. Let's wipe this crap off the face of Misplaced Pages. --Tony Sidaway 23:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


Chooser, My personal reaction to this user page is, yuk. However, it doesn't appear to be a solicitation. I'd remove it were it up to me, just because it gives me the creeps. Do we really need to know all this? But I'm not sure that it falls into the same category, as it's not an overt solicitation. Let's run it by Sidaway.Timothy Usher 05:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll also agree, Chooserr, that if Gorton is in the clear in maintaining his external link, then so are you, so long as you're not soliciting donations or linking to a page that does. Still, I'd rather you not. Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox. Misplaced Pages is not a battleground. Etc.
Gorton's userpage is intentionally provocative to most anyone who holds remotely traditional views in these regards - the premise is that Gorton is just telling us about him/herself, but like a lot of identity politics, it's also a "we're here, we're X, get used to it!" type socio-political statement.
My advice is, don't be like Gorton. But, that's not policy.Timothy Usher 07:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
So, I think the rule - if here is one - is that you can your user page to trump your beliefs and personal activities completely unrelated to wikepedia. External links, too, are acceptable, so long as they don't solicit or advertise. We should use normal font sizes, so it doesn't sound like we're screaming, and keep it off user talk as per Alienus' objection.
Personally, I'm disappointed - I think all off-topic and/or partisan info should go - but he's probably right in saying that Gorton's userpage is "normal", in the sense that WP editors often do post such material. So go on ahead. I'm sure if there's a problem, we'll hear about it.Timothy Usher 19:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm a bit worried about where this is going. As a Misplaced Pages editor, Nick Gorton deserves as much respect as anyone else. We cannot go around taking offence simply because somebody exists. He does pro bono work for a health clinic that focuses on health care for transsexuals, and it's reasonable therefore to link to that clinic's website. --Tony Sidaway 19:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Of course you're absolutely right that Nick Gorton deserves respect as an editor - I don't know him or his contributions, so have no cause to judge.
My point is actually rule number one, "Misplaced Pages is an Encyclopedia". T2 is just one facet of this. We often hear, this is not Myspace, and indeed it's not...so what's all this Myspacey stuff doing on WP? It's time to actually start enforcing WP:NOT, with an added provision in case the others aren't clear enough: it's not about us.Timothy Usher 20:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
See Misplaced Pages:User page. As far as I'm aware, Nick Gorton's page is compatible with that. --Tony Sidaway 20:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing this stub! I have announced it at Portal:Germany/New article announcements. Please add any article you create that is related to Germany there. Thank you, and happy editing, Kusma (討論) 21:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I found the page via Special:Newpages and have checked and slightly expanded the translation. Kusma (討論) 22:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome

Glad to help. If you want to link to a category, rather than adding the page to that category, you need a colon just before the word "Category". By the way, I'm sorry about recent events. I saw some of it, but was very caught up with other things at the time. It's quite true that that link is not appropriate for a user or talk page, but the insinuation that you would have refused to take it down if shown that it violated policy was completely unjustified, and the vandalism of your talk page was in extremely poor taste. Don't let it get you down. AnnH 23:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

cisgender

Hey, Thank you for your attempt at the search - at least you made a fair attempt at actually using google. Yes, google comes up with thosuands of entries for cisman - it is an surname of the people of India. If you use the search cisman cisgender it will be reduced to a handful with the majority being from wikipedia itself. The logic here is simple, since cisman and cisgender are 'supose' to be complimentary terms, you would think that you would find them on the same page of text, but since they are not, then it is obvious that they do not allign and are not related. A second analogy would be that if you expect to find cisman 12,000 some times, you would also expect to find ciswoman the same number, and since you do not find but 107 of those, it would be easier to search through them, as I did with every entry. It is used as a handle and as a sig line, but not in a definition of what the word is. Thanks for at least looking. I will not delete your comment from cisgender, but I would appriciate it if you would modify it after you have verified what I have said here. Thanks again, FemVoice 06:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Apology

Hi. AnnH has convinced me that I misread your tone and, as a result, gave you a stern warning when a gentle chat might have been better . I was also very rude when you came asking for a policy reason. I did not think it possible that you would not know that the solicitation would be controversial, and at the time I did not realise that you had displayed it for months without any complaints. I apologise for this; I think I nearly drove you from the project, and that would have been a loss to us all. --Tony Sidaway 23:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

EC article

A lot of work by many people was put into finding those source - I would never want to scrap it! They are all here: Beginning of pregnancy controversy

Also, the EC pill has been proven to delay ovulation, if taken at least 36 hours before ovulation would have occurred. Delaying ovulation gives time for sperm to die, so when ovulation actually happens there are no more sperm around and therefore no conception. This contraceptive effect is believed to be the primary method by which EC works. Lyrl 00:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Pro-abortion/Pro-choice

Hi Chooserr! Thanks for your message.

I've reviewed my post to Ros, and at no point did I use any terms regarding people being "pro-life", "anti-abortion" or any other term with the meaning implied, that someone was against the practice, theory, option or reality of abortion, medically, non-medically or back-street. My post was specifically about not using the semantically incorrect term "pro-abortion" (which would, by definition, mean being in favour of forcing, compelling or requiring abortion) when the option "pro-choice" (meaning to be in favour of the choice being available to one degree or another to women who may wish or need to use that choice).

Therefore, I'm afraid I don't understand your post to me or the correction to my use of the language. I'd be grateful if you could point me to a diff where I have misused English in the way you seem to be suggesting. Or perhaps your message was meant for any other user talking on that page, who I am not and am not in the position to speak for.

Please bear in mind what I said to Ros - I have very clear political views on abortion, but I have never expressed them on Misplaced Pages and therefore it is pointless to attempt to project any view point on to me: for the purposes of Misplaced Pages, I do not have one; in real life I do; but in neither case is anyone aware of what that viewpoint actually is.

Thanks for your time. ЯЄDVERS 18:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Condom usage instruction

Hi Chooserr, I believe the usage instruction at teenwire (which is currently on the article about condoms) is of bad quality. The movie's size is very small and the compression is too high. Therefore I offered this link. I think it is better. Please let me know if I can add the link again.

            • EDIT ******

Sorry if I do not understand the conventions for posting and reacting on talk pages, but I guessed this is probably the place for you to look most often. The reason I posted the link is twofold.

1. The current movie (there is only one movie with instructions) is very, very bad of quality. Please take a look. The one I suggested is much better and more clear to understand. 2. I know the movie is on the website of a company (The Condomerie), but this movie (and a lot of other information on there website) is not commercial.

Please let me know if we can agree on adding the link (and if needed removing the teenwire link).

Kind regards, --Incorrectio 10:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:TV emma watson on the biography channel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TV emma watson on the biography channel.jpg. 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:

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. 09:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

in re: Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays

just inquiring about the weasel words tag on there? I've read thru it several time and I'm sorry to say cannot see where the error is. Especially as PFLAG is a well know, respectable not to say somewhat timid, conservative organization. Thanks CyntWorkStuff 22:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I have carefully reviewed the main PFLAG Site and the weasel words entry and I must respectfully suggest that it's present use to register an individual's political or theological disagreement with the subject of a given article was not it's intended use.
After all you would probably not think it proper for someone to slap a box stating "Important if true" onto the articles on the Roman Catholic sacraments, et. al. CyntWorkStuff 02:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
The above "Famous Quote" attributed to the 19th Century British Historian Kinglake, was meant to be a minor joke and since I am Catholic I used my own religion in the example. But it obviously was not quite as amusing or apropos as I had hoped, so never mind.
I'm sorry to say that my first point holds and I do not think that was the use meant for the weasel words tag. Unless you can show me an "approved" example somewhere else, I'm going to copy my reasoning (minus the joke) over to the talk page of the article with the intention of removing the box. Best regards CyntWorkStuff 19:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chooserr, Thank you for taking a look at the movie with usage instructions. It is better then the one which is on the page at the moment. You can find the instruction movie at http://www.condomerie.com/condoms/condomusage_instruction.php.

Sanger and abortion

Margaret Sanger promoted spermicides and diaphragms and condoms and was involved in developing the pill. I have never read about her promoting abortion. This does not mean that such information does not exist, but it does mean a citation is needed for the sentence in question. Lyrl C 00:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

PP's primary mission is to provide contraceptive services. That's always been what they do. I just am not convinced that, before Roe v. Wade, they promoted or offered abortion. Particularly considering this diff to the Planned Parenthood article. I hope that clarified my position. Cheers, Lyrl C 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Argyronissos

Hello Chooserr, I've got a question about your article about Argyronissos to you; isn't that article any joke? I want to know because I wrote an article - or translation :) - about that on Polish wikipedia (pl:Argyronissos). That article seems to be a joke, because I think that Argyronissos is a big island (240 km) and it should be seen on a map, but it isn't seen, for example, on Google Maps or Google Earth. If it isn't joke, please write to me the sources, from which you wrote this article. Thanks in advance for your quick answer (please, respond me on my Polish user talk), and happy Misplaced Pages Day! Greetings from Poland, Maciek17 19:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

So, it seems to be a joke on German wiki. The article de:Argyronissos was writed by IP number (1) - you know, IP's very often are making stupid articles - and it was two times qualified to delete this article (2). Maybe it is a mistake; no 240 km, just 2,4 km... Don't you think? Maciek17 17:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
No, it's not any joke - I talked with German user who wrote on this article that Argyronissos is 240 000m2 big, and he explained me that 240 000 m isn't 240 km, just 0,24, so it is very small island. By the way, the coordinations are wrong; on Google Maps on that coordinations isn't sea, just land :) Regards, Maciek17 17:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment on Reproductive Ethics

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Comment on Reproductive Ethics, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free image File:Image-brown waters.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Image-brown waters.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:25, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Family Life International (New Zealand)

The article Family Life International (New Zealand) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Gets a bunch of WP:GOOGLEHITS, but these seem to be an enormous number of press releases, passing mentions (eg. in lists), unreliable sources, and coincidental juxtapositions of words. Does not have the coverage in reliable sources needed to demonstrate notability under WP:GNG, WP:ORG, etc. Additionally, the article has no citations and is full of promotional language.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 03:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
