UCMMA

If you know nothing about mixed martial arts then why are you interested in having a MMA related page deleted? I think you should keep opinion like this to yourself if you offer nothing to the conversation. Thank You

DYK

On 15 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Smith Point Light, 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.

Proposed Image Deletion

A deletion discussion has just been created at Category talk:Unclassified Chemical Structures, which may involve one or more orphaned chemical structures, that has you user name in the upload history. Please feel free to add your comments.  Ronhjones  22:58, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you twice

First, thank you for your recent deletion of the "Canon" section of the Hardy Boys article, which has been deleted previously at least once. I'd lately been having close to an edit war with an IP over whether the section used "weasel words," when in reality what it needed was the action you just took.

Second, I visited your user page, and thank you for introducing me to Misplaced Pages:FTN. I'm strictly on the fringe (sorry) of this little corner of WP, and someday when I have time (probably never) I'd like to visit the huge 27-drawer archive stuff. Long, long ago, I bought a book called "High Weirdness by Mail" (pre-Internet) and spent a lovely summer corresponding via P.O. Box with some of these adherents, New Agers, racists, etc. I still have some of it in a folder in the basement. Cheers! --Seduisant (talk) 23:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Ptrocksstation.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ptrocksstation.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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 the Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Redirects for List of plants used in herbalism

Not sure about these - They're arguably misleading, and I'd rather have an article on plants that were used to create mainstream medicines as their target. Do realise I'd need to go in and disambiguate, though. 86.176.222.245 (talk) 20:19, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

sorry, don't like it

Regarding this edit: would you care to elaborate? Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 23:10, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the belated response. Why do you object to having a separate navbox section? Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 00:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

It jsut seems to me to be unnecessary clutter. Mangoe (talk) 01:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Of course, to experienced editor such as yourself almost any change will seem unnecessary. But try to put yourself into the mindset of the casual user. As Misplaced Pages:Related_information/answers#Proposal_objections_and_response puts it: "The cost of an additional line in the table of contents must be considered against the the benefit of providing helpful information to readers. As to cost, readers familiar with Misplaced Pages can quickly scroll past the appendix listings in the table of contents – it matters not whether there are five rather than four headings to skip. So the cost seems small. As to benefit, as discussed above most users will benefit from a "heads up" in the table of contents that an article includes navigational aids. In addition, having a "Related information" heading helps separate the internal links in the navigation aids from the external links in the external links section. So the benefit relative to cost seems large." Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 02:19, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
