Seeing as others do it so will I. So here is my first archived talk page, but feel free to leave me a new one on this page :D

AfD

You do realize that you're supposed to actually create an AfD page, right? They don't make themselves, sticking this {{AfD}}, without creating this, and without listing it on the articles for deletion page, will probably just look like vandalism--Aolanonawanabe 05:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I answered your question at WP:AN/I as follows:

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. FreplySpang (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2005 (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. Shimgray | talk | 14:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I've tagged it for deletion because we cannot use copyrighted images. FreplySpang (talk) 20:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Like Shimgray said - if the source says "Copyright 2001" it means the copyright starts in 2001 and lasts for many years afterward. FreplySpang (talk) 23:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Condom

I have reverted this edit of yours to Condom because you should not remove entire subsections from articles. If you believe that the section should go, please start a discussion at Talk:Condom. Thanks.--Sean|Black 07:55, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm only following wikipedia policy... Bull. Or to use a phrase more regionally suited, complete bollocks. Citing of policy is a transparent excuse, as a quick examination of your edit history, user page, and citations on various admin pages show. NPOV is policy, not an obstacle for you to get around. --Calton | Talk 00:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to side step any policy and I made the section about health as neutral as possible. Best laugh I've had all day. Besides, what makes you think I was saying anything about your scary-scary health section? --Calton | Talk 01:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

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, Nandesuka 21:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

STFU

Please revert vandalism, rather than marking vandalized articles for speedy deletion. Uncle G 03:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Babel userboxes

Your Babel section gave me some inspiration to expand mine, yes, but I'm afraid it's gotten a bit out of hand ;) Aecis 13:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Heteropride

Oh yeah, a site whose name gets 238 Google hits. Very reliable, very noteworthy.

From About.com Q. Why is there no straight pride?"" From Kathy Belge, Your Guide to Lesbian Life.

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.

Tell me, is English your second language? You seem to have trouble with usage.

--Calton | Talk 01:44, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

...that's why I clearly stated... Guy, you could have clearly stated "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" for all the sense you made. I'm referring to, among other things, your tin ear for how language and phrases are used by subcultures to describe themselves and their relationship to the dominant culture. There is no "white community" (except in the minds of compound-dwelling yahoos in the wilds of Idaho), no "masculine community", no "right-handers community", no "secular community". It's why Mundane is related.

I could also throw in your peculiar, Humpty-Dumpty-esque use of the word "protecting". Watch out! Elton John is coming to destroy your marriage! --Calton | Talk 02:38, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

The Movement

What does this one think of the movement? --Kin Khan 02:06, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

template:chooserrwelcome

Have you considered using {{subst:Chooserrwelcome}} instead of {{Chooserrwelcome}}, in order to reduce the load on the servers?--Aolanonawanabe 02:51, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
