I didnt add that much to his article about his faith other than this edit Controversy: "Many of Sizzla's songs contain anti-gay lyrics."→"Multiple songs contain anti-gay lyrics, as followers of the Rastafarian Movement oppose homosexuality". Looking back at the article I can see that more stuff was added to it about his religion. I added the Judgement Yard stuff because its his yard :D. I'll continue to edit/add/improve it and hope you do the same! Its always good to learn something new about Sizzla! Freecharlesgrace (talk) 01:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Doomed (film), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doomed (film). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi Smooth0707,
You made a few errors in your creation of your PPR nomination. I have fixed them up for you - see here and here. Please read the instructions carefully - if you're unsure I can try to help out. Thanks for your contribution. --jjron (talk) 09:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I notice you recently added a picture to the Pink Floyd article, and had some questions about its validity, which I asked about here:
Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#New picture in article (Pink Floyd pig)
It seems my question has been answered and resolved for the moment (and it turns out I misunderstood the caption; my apologies) but you may want to check if something still needs to be done about the licensing. (I'm also notifying User:Yarl who I think uploaded it, and it's really more of his concern, but I thought you should know.) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 21:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for the edit summary thing; I was in copy edit mode. To put it short, the war dog article is overly long for its subject matter; there's not really a need to summarize the domestication of dogs when you can hop on over to the main article about dogs. Some of the other stuff is non sequitur, seemingly stuffed in there to make the article longer than it needs to be. I'll do it right this time. ClockwerkMao (talk) 15:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey smooth, I was going though FPC and I saw that the coca cola logo was still pending on the restoration. I wanted to know if you have heard from anyone that is willing to restore it. If you have not, I'll try my hand at it later today until I am finished. The nomination has been suspended for over five days and would like it to be concluded soon. victorrocha (talk) 06:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Part of the problem I suppose here is that the definition of consensus seems to be incredibly vague. I understand the whole not voting thing but at the same time, there was a significant number of people who supported vs those who opposed. Who determines where the tipping point is? --Hetar 21:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, just as a head up, I fixed this close. Two things: The templates {{Afd top}} and {{Afd bottom}} should always be substituted by inserting them like this: {{subst:Afd top}}. The second: by convention, the {{Afd top}} template is applied above the heading for the AfD. There is a howto for non-administrators closing afd's at Wikipedia:Non-admin closure. Hope this helps!

Hi, I got your message. Sorry, I thought I'd followed all the appropriate guidelines for uploading images for peer review. Obviously I must have missed something out. I set up a new sub folder then typed into the text box, but then couldn't see any upload facility for the picture, so I uploaded the picture to photbucket.com and pasted the link in. I would really like to put this picture in front of my peers (the picture of the steam train) as I am very proud of it. Can you tell me what I need to do next time to upload the picture to the Peer Review area correctly?

When nominating an article for speedy deletion, can you please explicitly note that in your edit summaries, and in summaries for immediately subsequent edits to the same article? Thanks, Andjam (talk) 08:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the page Jim Smitts, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "vandalism", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This page does not qualify for speedy deletion because I am not convinced that it is vandalism; better to let the PROD expire. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, or using the WP:PROD process. Thanks!

You posted a question to the Talk page on the Brazilian wandering spider about their diet. I agree that this would be good info to add to the article, but I don't have a source for what they eat in the wild. Most spiders will eat anything small that they can catch.
This page on keeping them in captivity http://www.petbugs.com/caresheets/P-fera.html says:
"Spiderlings eat flightless fruit flies, and pinhead crickets. Adults eat crickets, other large insects, small lizards, and pinkie mice." ("Pinkie mice" are baby mice.) -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 23:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your support. Re: the original and alternate nominations, neither is desaturated. In the first I adjusted the histogram and color balance manually, and in the second I mainly let the software make automated choices.

Please check the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, the image need a non-free use rationale, in writing, on the image page for each article it's to be used in. Currently it only have a (very very weak) rationale for the use in the Ronald McDonald aricle, but I agree that using it there is acceptable as visual identification of the article subject. However IMHO there is no defensible rationale for using it in the McDonalds article itslef. There is simply no commentary on the Ronald character or his appearance in that article and so no possible justification needing to use this non-free image to improve the readers understanding of that article. The article itself point readers to the Ronald McDonald article for more info, where I have no problem with the image beeing used. --Sherool (talk) 22:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I reverted your recent change to the Ambigram page. Because those two ambigrams by Doug are famous ones, I think they should be cited as his. It's significant.
Since you have an interest in ambigrams, I would love to have you weigh in on some issues in the Talk:Ambigram page, particularly the first two sections (Cleanup and Proposed logos) and the last two sections (Recently Deleted Content and ABBA). Thanks.
Regarding Dan Schlund. If it sounds like an advertisement then lets change it to the proper verbage appropriate for Wikipedia. Do not forward it to Jet Pack because I do not fly a Jet Pack. It is a Rocketbelt. Sometimes it is refered to as a Jet Pack incorrectly. This is a biography of me and not just a "Jet Pack" thing. Do not take it upon yourself to determine for me where my name brings me. Thank you!
Instead of putting all the energy of forwarding my name to another page, if it bothers you so much, why don't you put in the time to author it properly. This is not an articles about people notable only for one event. More people have walked on the moon than flew the Rocketbelt (not a jet pack!). It is not designed to be an advertisement because the only people looking for my name will be those wanting to know more about me from the Rocketbelt, Stuntwork, Motivational Speaking or Pyrotechnics. These people may be interested in a article about me and not "Jet Packs". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.82.95 (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:The Assassination of President Lincoln - Currier and Ives 2.png is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on April 14, 2009. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2009-04-14. howcheng {chat} 23:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
This merge template is out of line and I have removed it. Contrary to what you say, "we don't give these teams seperate articles. not appropriate", there are about 80 teams this season with articles (see Category:2008-09_NCAA_Division_I_men's_basketball_season) and Louisville's page is as notable as any of them. You're welcome to start a mass AfD for these pages but I don't think it'll get you far. Oren0 (talk) 04:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for supporting file:Midnight at the glassworks2.jpg at W:FPC. There was some concern about the contrast in the restored image (i.e., that there was too much of it).

Do not continue to tag Jamaican singers as homophobic. The topic has been more than extensively covered in their talk pages and appropriate articles (and far overblown). Are you going to tag every person on Wikipedia with strict religious morals as homophobic? No - do not stereotype Jamaican musicians. smooth0707 (talk) 01:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't care for things like revert wars. I strongly suggest you discuss the topic in Category talk:Homophobia where we've been discussing this in depth for quite some time. A consensus decision can deal with this. I'm trying to edit in good faith of what I understand to be the consensus rules-of-thumb formed there. Care to join the discussion? - Gilgamesh (talk) 03:52, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
There is a discussion going on there. Please participate, as it involves the category you dispute using. Then you will have a say in how the category is used and whether it applies to some or all of the articles in question. - Gilgamesh (talk) 01:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I've sent this article, which you prodded, to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jam boy. I'm not pushing for it to be kept, I just think there's a chance someone might be able to prove it isn't a hoax. Declan Clam (talk) 04:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment on the photo. A couple of people edited after I put it there, so I went to check on it, and found the previous photo up top, with the Jamaican flag in the infobox (which is against WP policy on the en.Wikipedia WP:MOSFLAG).. it was all back to before I touched it, so I reverted a few additions and left a note on the talk page. There are allegations of homophobia, and anti-homosexual teachings in his songs, and a source saying he advocates murder of gays. They can not be removed, as long as a reliable reference was provided to back up that section of text. (WP:BLP) At this point, because there's so little else about him in the article, it looks like people are just against him. The way to counteract negative comments, is to dig deep into that fat pile of references in the "external references section", and add more interesting and informative text, including maybe quotes or sources that say that assertion isn't correct. Trust me: I worked on the Cat Stevens article, who was quoted by several papers as advocating the murder of Salman Rushdie, who he "then believed was blaspheming Islam. There are so many sources-- it's a grand opportunity for someone like yourself to truly make this article shine. I've got too many editing projects right now, but would be willing to help give advice, copyediting, whatever.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
You reverted an edit on Talk:Busty Heart using Twinkle calling it vandalism. The edit was clearly not vandalism and should not have been rolled back using Twinkle. The OTRS ticket is valid and the edit was made in response to that ticket. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 18:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, is there some assertion of significance I'm not seeing? All that's here is a plot summary, with no sourcing and no real world significance. I see no reason why it should not have been prodded. Dlohcierekim 21:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
You should not remove hangon tags from a page, like you did with this edit unless you are removing the speedy tag as well. The hangon tag is there to tell any reviewing administrator that the page creator disagrees with the speedy and whether you agree with the reasoning given for adding the hangon tag is irrelevant. I'd also suggest you assume good faith. There is definitely a case to be made for Bounty Killers being a redirect to Bounty hunters (even if you disagree with it) so using terms like "outrageous" is not helpful. I'd also suggest that a more civil attitude would be more productive - in particular your use of capital letters appears to be particularly winding people up. Finally under the commonly accepted bold, revert, discuss cycle the other user did nothing wrong in moving the article, like you've done nothing wrong in asking for it to be reverted. This is intended as advice to try to stop this getting any more out of hand and I hope you take it as such. Dpmuk (talk) 13:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
I see that you removed a {{hang on}} tag from Bounty Killer. Please do not remove hang on tags unless you also remove the corresponding speedy deletion tag. The speedy deletion was contested, and it is not constructive to try to hide the fact, whether you agree or disagree with the person who contested it. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC) So someone makes an egregious edit, moves a page...and as he protests the CFD I have to sit and wait for the page to be moved back? It isn't constructive to jump pages either. smooth0707 (talk) 19:31, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
According to this admin and to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), lowercase bounty killer should go to the bounty hunter, uppercase to the musician. I've done that now.
If you still don't approve, raise the issue at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, or respond to the suggestion on the article talk page. And try not to lose your temper this time. BillMasen (talk) 17:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
When you stop making those kind of edits, I will stop losing my temper. Next time, raise the issue on the talk page, or suggest a hatnote before moving pages (especially ones I watch...). smooth0707 (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
You're the only one who thinks I did anything wrong, nor will it be me who suffers the consequences the next time you lose your rag. Read WP:BRD. That's all that needs to be said on the matter. BillMasen (talk) 19:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

You have been adding the same unsourced material in the Majek Fashek article. Wikipedia's Policy of Verifiability is very clear on this issue: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material". Repeatedly adding the same unsourced material into a BLP article, ordering other editors to get the required reference themselves (as you did in this edit summary), and then placing a "Citation needed" template on the unsourced material is disruptive behaviour. I would therefore like to ask you to please provide a reliable source for your addition. If you do not provide a reliable source, and continue to add unsourced material into the BLP article, you will be reported to the Administrator's board. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 21:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Ten tigers cover.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
