Engineering Higlights

Saw your note. It's common in Wikipedia that when an article starts getting long to split off sections to separate articles and link to them. I don't have a problem with the link to it.GCW50 14:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lehigh FA canidacy

Sorry I had to vote against, but there were several glaring problems I saw. Still, I think with some more work, this could definitely reach FA status. Some suggestions:

As I said at the canidacy page, waaaaaaaay too many red links. All those buildings probably aren't notable enough to get their own articles, but how about List of Lehigh University buildings or something similar, with paragraph-long capsules on each that you can link to from the main page?
A lot of sections are just too short. Some examples:

Baseball and softball. If they're important enough to merit their own subsection, there should be more information than the fact that they won the last league title. If not, they should be part of an "other teams" section at the end of the sports section.

Coeducation. It sticks out. Put in in the main academics section.

Faculty. Dry section. Does Lehigh have any celebrity scholars? McArthur Grant winners, Guggenheim fellows, etc? There's no real need to have a bulleted list; you can make it into a paragraph.

Trivia section. A lot of Wikipedia editors are real douchebags about trivia sections (there are discussions about it here and here. I don't think they're bad in and out of themselves, but you're not going to get your article to FA status with a trvia section that long. A lot of things there can be put in the main body of the article (Many buildings on the Packer campus... can go to "campus"; Shame of the 97... can go to "spirit and traditions").

Anyway, hope this helps and doesn't come across as too condescending. Again, you've got a good article, but it can be a lot better. I'll be glad to try and help you some more if you want. Stilgar135 16:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Wyoming Seminary.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Wyoming Seminary.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 02:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the Barn Star. I'm not sure what it means, but obviously Lehigh is love of both of ours.

Chuck B, the author of "Lehigh Football Nation" suggested using the term the "The Rivalry" last year when we found that "Harvard-Yale" had a lock on "The Game". It's paid off; within a week of the new article on Wikipedia, a Lafayette grad used our account as the basis of a local newspaper story in Georgia. Thus we now have use of "The Rivalry" in a print source to further lock it in.

My only regret was having to listen to my brother (Lafayette '76) brag at Thanksgiving again this year. ;-)

I'm new at this, didn't realize.

Good catch Ugly Betty

Looks like I missed one because of the edits. I warned the user I rv'ed.

Reporting Vandalism

Just noticed your vigilant reverts on the Middle East page. As a tip, you can report vandals to get them blocked at [1]. Keep up the good work! Hiberniantears 20:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continuation War

Meh, I understand that it's difficult to watch all those new changes and jugde what's vandalism and what's not. For a short summary on the edit war that occurred there, see here. I would appreciate it if you reverted yourself there, so as not to provide the sockpuppeteer with "legitimacy". --Illythr 19:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, too late for a self revert, but could you at least acknowledge that your VP revert of me was accidental? --Illythr 20:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks a lot! We fought with Illythr over a month to get some kind of discussion with that sock puppeteer and POV-pusher, who adamantly refused to provide any valid references to his edits, misinterpreted sources, doesn't know even basics about military tactics and provided conspiracy theories without any proofs as sources and only valid interpretation of the events! You do have a good excuse, do you??? --Whiskey 20:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, you did do the right thing, user Plm209. Your first intuition was right. User Illythr indeed is being accused of vandalism. He is a vandal. The evidence is abundant. He is the very same person as Whiskey.

Your help is appreciated, user Plm209. If you are interested, you're heartfully invited to please check the history of the discussion, which the user Illythr has vandalized under the account of Roobit as well.

You'll be able to see that here the forces of God are simply putting some brakes to evil, who openly promotes lying in Wikipedia, for one thing. Above, he provided a link, where a few of his statements to that effect are posted.

Thank you, user Plm209. Do not allow the evil to play tricks on you. --Suursaari 20:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See what I mean? ;-) --Illythr 20:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editing page

I didn't post any non sense. Mugabe is as much racist when it comes to the white as a KKK member is racist when it comes to the blacks and that's why I've edited the racism wiki page in order to make the change. What do you think ? That only whites and jews are racist ?

So I don't understand why you threatening me. The fact we don't share the same point of view doesn't mean you've right and me wrong. Neither vice versa. So do some research about Mugabe and you'll see who he really is.

I also find your threatening very disturbing. By the way, I don't think you would be so hardline if we were in front of each other.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.243.161.237 (talk)

I appreciate your attempts to change my mind but I remain firm on my opinion that your edits to Racism were not made from an NPOV standpoint. If you would like to retry your edit, feel free to and allow another Counter-Vandalism editor to check it. Thanks for your continued interest.

Deutschland class cruiser reverts

Hello, Plm209. User: 87.79.225.231 may look like a vandal, but he or she isn't one; the edits that you reverted in Deutschland class cruiser were perfectly legitimate spelling corrections. I have redone the corrections and added one or two more. Regards, John Moore 309 17:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album cover discographies

Album cover images in discographies are not allowed under Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria #8: Significance. It states "Non-free content contributes significantly to an article (e.g., it identifies the subject of an article, or illustrates specific, relevant points or sections in the text); it does not serve a purely decorative purpose. The use of non-free media in lists, galleries, and navigational or user interface elements is normally regarded as decorative." Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Images also deals with such uses. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. Cheers! -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 19:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA

I closed your withdrawn RfA. Personally, I agree with your step to withdraw at this point. As has been said by others, catch up on Wikipedia-related issues and try again in a few months. Regards, —AldeBaer 20:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to notify you that I've added the article for the album you mentioned as a bundled nomination for this discussion. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! JavaTenor 17:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signature Customization

You don't need a customized signature to succeed in RfAs. However if you still want one, I can tell you how. Look around and see if there is anything in a person's signature that you like. Then click "edit this page". If you like the font of the sig, select the code for the font, right click and select "copy". Then go to edit your signature and fit it in with your signature writing. If you like the font, then do the same thing except select the font and fit it in where the font goes. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I haven't worked on my sig for some time. If you have any questions, please ask me! Captain panda 14:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:So They Say.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:So They Say.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ayra

I strongly object to the deletion of the Wikipeda article on Ayra from the Super Famicom game Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. I started not only that article, but also most of the articles related to the said character's original game Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. I also started the whole Fire Emblem sector of Wikipedia. I have found Voretus's reasons false. Ayra does have real world significance. Real world coverage of her is mostly in Japanese. Also, I have removed the Stats section of the article to reduce reasons for deletion. The introduction of the article is not intended to be game-guide content. Not many players skip over Ayra entirely. On a side note, I strongly want the said character to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl despite controversy. Masahiro Sakurai is considering to have a few non-Lord characters (at least one) to be playable in the game and that may include Ayra. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 00:46, 9 June 2007
