Hi! You made this file long ago and licensed it GFDL. Since GFDL is not a good license for media files I was wondering if you would be willing to relicense the file and add {{tl|cc-by-sa-4.0}} too? If yes you can just add it to the file page. --] (]) 12:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

of "too much ignorance from computer freaks" is immensely insulting, uncivil, and unfriendly. Attitudes like that, are why people leave communities.

Demeaning and insulting a group of people, dehumanizing them with an ] mentality, is the cause of so much pain and anger in the world. Please don't add to it.

And the method for removing the "''This page has been added to your watch-list''" is directly above your disrespectful message:

===interface changes===
I followed your link. I didn't have any system problems like a few users there. Locking up for months? Ugh! I like the new notice of messages rather than that dreadful banner across the talk page. It always struck fear in me like I'd just been called to the head's office. I was surprised that there hadn't been mention of the changes prior to. Or if there had been, I must have missed them. ] (]) 01:31, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

:Well, they fixed the notice bugs and re-implemented a small orange bar after much complains. See ] and ] for info about that specific issue. The petition I link at the top of my page is not just about how they introduced the new notification, it was just a starter for those kind of changes in general. Now that the notification change was changed and debugged I don't have much of a problem with it either but it was a problem for about a week and there are other constant changes that are screwed up while not every editor is aware of or affected. Believe me, if you were affected and would've problems editing b/c of such (usually unannounced) changes you'd be, quite frankly, pissed off like many affected users. But of course it's fine if you're not interested in that petition; It's everybody's freedom to have their own opinion and priorities. Whatever works.] (]) 01:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::I didn't say I wasn't interested, only that I'd not been affected. Your explanation makes it all very clear now. I can see being upset by things like that.

Hi. Your reversion note says "blogs, especially those are not a reliable source and can't be used." I'm not sure what you mean. The most useful source I cited was http://barackryphal.blogspot.com/2011/06/secret-origin-part-2.html which is technically a blog, but really a place that Loren Collins collects his research. Collins is referenced by e.g. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/loren-collins/ for what that's worth. There isn't any published material that I know of that goes into as much detail as Collins' pages about this esoteric subject. I'm not much of a Misplaced Pages expert, so -- any suggestions on how I could present this information better? -- ] (]) 23:46, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

:Hi Jamie. The Blog might be useful for personal research but in WP we only can add content based on ] which blogs, with few exceptions (I.e. news-blogs), aren't.] (]) 13:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

::OK, thanks for your help, and thanks for the link to WP:RS -- I probably should have read that first! So... I guess when writing on the subject of when and where claims first appeared on the internet, it would be OK to link to the actual blog pages which made those claims at that time, right? I would think those pages would be essentially primary sources, though I'm not sure. The page says "specific facts may be taken from primary sources," which I'd hope means linking to the actual source would be acceptable in this case. I've noted the WP:PRIMARY cautions "Do not analyze, synthesize, interpret, or evaluate material found in a primary source" and "be cautious about basing large passages on them." If you think it'd be appropriate, I'll try resubmitting just the narrow facts of these claims first appearing. -- ] (]) 16:08, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

:::Well, it's a little bit more complicated than that. Since I don't have much time on hand, why don't you visit the ] where you'll sure get plenty of help.

== Barbie's Amanda Knox book ==

That is an old edition of the book and discussion of it before the acquittal of Amanda Knox now worthless.

== Roman Polanski probation ==

I have reverted your deletion of the "Citation Needed" tag that I put in place concerning that "probation was expected." Simultaneously I have started a new section on that article's talk page concerning this. Rather than deleting the tag, I suggest that you may explain your deletion there. But I much prefer that perhaps you collaborate with finding '''citable''' sources to clarify '''who''' specifically was expecting that Roman Polanski was going to receive probation. Otherwise, as I said in my edit summary placing the tag in the first place, the part of the sentence that says "and it was expected that he would only receive probation at his sentencing" is completely unjustified. And why I placed the tag rather than deleting it outright. While your edit summary says that other sources in the article justify this, perhaps you could point out which one and use that as a referable source at the end of that sentence. ] (]) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 03:06, 2 February 2014 (UTC)</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
