Mistake

Oh man! I'm really sorry! I thought I was writing that under a new reply with some other things. Sorry about that, glad you caught it. [Mαc Δαvιs] (How's my driving?) ❖ 21:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries. --Ezeu 21:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Surprise!

You just admonished a user IP address!

Here is an even bigger one: Wikipedia has rules governing that as well.

Feeling selectively judgemental today, admin?

Racists are always morons, and will be addressed as such in any forum, message board, or summary. I care not whether they get their feelings hurt by the commentary.

Have a good one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.22.22.101 (talk) 22:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Point remains that if you abuse wikipedia policy by being incivil, you will be blocked. Simple as that. --Ezeu 22:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocking IP addresses is considered officially 'silly' by policy here, with good reason. This IP will transfer to some other poor sod in a few days. Point remains. Ciao bello.

I will not argue policy with you, and yes I will block your IP if you do not follow the rules. --Ezeu 16:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:CathyFreeman-Stamp.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CathyFreeman-Stamp.jpg. 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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 18:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re Ugandan topics TfD

Hi again Ezeu,

Template:Ugandan topics has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page...

Thanks for taking the trouble to post the above. Rather than deletion, perhaps a review of the template's contents might be timely, with reference to similar templates; it would probably also benefit from addition of one or more links to Category:Uganda / Portal:Uganda / List of Uganda-related topics. Hope all well, David Kernow (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Project FUBELT

Well, you supposed cleanup on that page was really more of a complete emptying of any significant content. It is now less than a stub, something probably not even worth keeping for very long. But it was really more of hack job. You're supposed link to the Transwiki source (Wikisource?) on the notes describing the change is a broken link that does not work and leads really nowhere! Great "cleanup" job. I suggest you at least restore it to what it was before your attempt to almost basically eliminate the subject from the database. For example, the ending of the previous page had all the important subject connections and links (categories), and that should have never been touched at all. I guess if you don't fix the mess, I will have to go back and really clean up the mess you created. I'd appreciate it if you did it yourself, as behooves a respectable Wikimedia editor. Thanks. warshy 17:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

That article was a mess, consisting merely of excerpts, and inherently confusing. It is better as a stub, worth building on. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be composed of cut-n-pastes of excerpts - those belong at wikisouce. The transwikied artice is here. See also the concerns raised about a year ago in the article's talk-page. Go ahead and improve the article, but do not haphazardly copy and paste chunks of texts that give little or no context to the reader. --Ezeu 19:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanations. More than that, the latest revision you did on the page seems to correct all the problems. It looks good now, again. The only recommendation I'd have, and which I will try to do myself also, is to check all the categories that were there in the original version, and check that none was overlooked. Thanks again for the good revision job! warshy 13:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-profit organizations

Thanks for the heads up - i didn't think i did it right. Hopefully, now it is right. How long does this usually take? I have been pretty frustrated by the inconsistencies in these categories when participating in Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories/uncategorized. Scarykitty 03:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, looks good. They are usually listed for five days, but may be closed earlier if participants ask for a speedy close and consensus is clear. Good of you for spending time doing some cleaning up. --Ezeu 06:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Pygmies from South America

How come and how do you know this? I remember reading about pygmies of South America in a book I have, now all I need to do is find the book so i can site it. TeePee-20.7 09:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
