User talk:AdamSolomon

Hello AdamSolomon and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Image copyrights for the Ottmar Liebert article

Hello AdamSolomon. Do you have permission to use the album cover images for the Ottmar Liebert article (public domain, GNU FDL or a GNU FDL compliant license is needed)? If not, you should remove them (or I will). regards, Walden 12:13, 2004 Oct 6 (UTC)

Adam knows Ottmar in person and Ottmar knows that we placed the images here. But I'll alert Adam to reply to you himself. - Boris (= User: Borya)

Ottmar has no problem with the use of the album art on the Wiki page, so everything should be fine. - Adam (= User: AdamSolomon)

Walden, I suppose you are working for Wikipedia? Do you want us to give you a confirmation by Ottmar himself? If yes, let us know and give us some time. He's in Italy right now... - Boris (= User: Borya)

Boris - He's an editor. They have a bunch of them floating around on this site, making sure nothing bad is going on ;) AdamSolomon 11:45, 2005 Oct 10 (EST)

Test

This message is regarding the page Stadium Arcadium. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. -- SoothingR^(pour) 06:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I apoligize for judging your edits wrong..however..I didn't just revert it because I thought that you were playin (seeing as the year of releasewas 20042 or something..), but also because WP:ALBUMS states: "The chronology section should link to the previous album on the left and the next album on the right. (Only studio albums, usually excluding lives, compilations, singles and EPs.)". Once again, sorry for misjudging your edit, but I still believe that it should say By the Way, and not Live in Hyde Park. -- SoothingR^(pour) 06:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, yes. Thanks for making me aware of that. I'll get around to fix that. -- SoothingR^(pour) 06:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

File:Christmas seal US 1925.jpg

Hi AdamSolomon. I, SoothingR would like to commend you on your edits pertaining to the article Dani California. Edits like that give Wikipedia the christmas spirit which we need so much. Especially today.

Thanks for your peaceful and useful contributions, and I wish you a merry christmas - and ofcourse - a happy new year.

Best wishes, SoothingR^(pour) 12:27, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Patrick Henry College

Patrick Henry College is not the same as Patrick Henry University (further adding to the confusion, there's a Patrick Henry Community College in Virginia, the same state as PHC). Oh, and congrats on being accepted to PHU! ;-) --DDerby-(talk) 09:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Userboxes

Hi. I've noticed that you're making use of political or religious userboxes on your user page. They can be a nifty way to share about one's personal preferences, but I realized, after a while, that they often detract from the real purpose of Wikipedia, that is, writing an encyclopedia. I'm inviting you to consider these words from Jimbo Wales, the site operator:

I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same. This seems to me to be the best way to quickly and easily end the userbox wars.

Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project. They are attractive to the wrong kinds of people, and they give visitors the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.

I think rather than us having to go through a mass deletion (which is what is likely to happen if the userbox fad doesn't go away), it will be better to simply change the culture, one person at a time. Will you help me?

Thank you for your time.

You tagged this image as PD-ineligible, but that can't possibly apply since it's a photograph. Please provide a more accurate license from Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. All photographs are automatically copyrighted to the person who took them, even if it's a normal everyday photo. It looks like the creator is most likely someone you know, so it would be best if you could get them to choose one of the free licenses listed here. The image will be deleted soon if a correct license is not provided. DopefishJustin 20:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

You might want to look at your user page.

I notice it's been edited by some anons. I'd call it vandalism, but I figured I'd leave it to you to decide. --Maxamegalon2000 02:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

NPOV tag

Adam, I don't see a discussion on this page regarding the NPOV tag on your user page. Please consider removing the NPOV tag because it turns up in the NPOV backlog. -- Steve Hart 01:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I've now removed the two NPOV tags you had. -- Steve Hart 21:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Steve. Thanks! My friend Alyssa seems to think that my userpage is biased in favor of me. Pfft. She's just jealous. Thanks again. AdamSolomon 02:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

World's Smallest Political Quiz userbox

You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.

Please reply to User talk:Audacity, as I will not be watching your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 07:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

New userbox

I saw that your user page links to Universal Life Church. I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I created a new userbox that you can add to your user page should you wish. {{User:Green Joe/ULC}} is the template to add. GreenJoe 19:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:3is4Front.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:3is4Front.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
