Stephen R. Donaldson article

Hello. Just a note that I changed your edit on the Stephen R. Donaldson page: from Columbia University to the College of Wooster.J.R. Hercules 00:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Harvard

Nice picture you added to Harvard Museum of Natural History. I see you are doing some work in Harvard-related institutions as am I. My opinion is that they are at least as encyclopedia-worthy as a reality show contestant or the episode of some animated series, and I am guessing you agree. I made a few links in the Glass Flowers article and will be doing some more work to make sure everything notable among Harvard museums is covered. It's nice working with you; best wishes. ◄HouseOfScandal► 23:48, 10 December 2006

Yeah, I was reading something you'd done over on the CC page, and knew it was you the second I saw the initials.

Biography pages

When putting up a page on a person, is it best practice to use social names such as Mr. or Ms. in the name of the article, or only the name? WilsonjrWikipedia 22:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts

Thank you for starting the article on this museum; I'm actually kind of surprised that there wasn't one before. As a former MFA intern who just might maybe (fingers crossed) be moving to Nagoya soon, I'm quite interested in stories and histories surrounding both museums. I am especially interested in your comment that there is some sort of conflict between the Nagoya curators and Boston administrators over what they will show. What's your source on this? I ask not because I'm challenging the statement, but because I'm quite curious to read more about it. Thanks. LordAmeth 22:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

National Geographic Society

Happy New Year Cjs2111...I don't want to keep reverting your Category:National Geographic Society but I am not sure what you mean by the word Organ. Should it be Origins. Thanks in advance for your help. Shoessss 16:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

LOL....the only thing I kept picturing was either a heart or liver beating. Thanks for the clarification Shoessss 16:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Seperated at birth?

Hi, I noticed that we had similar user names, so I checked out your profile and noticed that the similarities did not end there. We are both from the Buffalo suburbs, both went to Ivy League Universities, both are of Polish ancestory, and both edit wikipedia. I believe that the only logical conclusion is that we are twins seperated at birth. Good luck on the law school apps... --Cjs56 14:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

June 2007

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. An article you recently created, Volker Berghahn, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. A tag has been placed on Volker Berghahn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

You might particularly want to read up on academic notability guidelines in this case. Coren 01:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey there. You did a good job establishing the notability of Volker Berghahn, but be aware that you should never remove a {{speedy}} tag from an article you wrote yourself. A passing admin will look at the article, see that notability has been established, and remove the tag him or herself. Coren 01:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Rename of Casey Blake (the baseball player) article

Hi CJ ... would you have any objection to renaming the article for the baseball player, Casey Blake, as Casey Blake (baseball) instead of using his full name. I doubt that anyone interested in finding his article is going to know to search for him as William Casey Blake. My suggested name is consistent with new naming guidelines for baseball player articles that I think will be finalized any day now (if you're not aware of this effort, you can find the latest draft here. --Sanfranman59 03:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I'm relatively new to all of this and don't know how to rename an article. What's the process? --Sanfranman59 03:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 15:32, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Your suggestion regarding the preparation of an entry for this brilliant scholar is good. Work has commenced. I have put a note on the discussion page where you left your note. God be with you and be between us and all harm.Mgr.James Horan Decd. 19:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Stsebs.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stsebs.gif. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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 05:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

July 2007

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to Columbia Law School, you will be blocked from editing.
Trusilver -Retracting any allegation of vandalism. 06:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

You blanked a very large section of referenced content. If this was intentional and part of an overhaul of the article, I apologize. Trusilver 06:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not blanked; it's been relocated as part of an overhaul. See the new page List of Columbia Law School alumni Cjs2111 06:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Peter Mandler

He seems more notable now that you added the links. However, I would still ask you to consider: is he that notable? How far is his coverage as a historian at Cambridge University? Has he had "significant" coverage of all his work from independent sources? I leave you to ponder, then if you're happy you may safely remove the notability tag.

Richtersveld World Heritage

Please note that specifically area of the Richtersveld Community Conservancy was declared a World Heritage Site. The National Park is not even in the WHS - specifically because of mining activities within the boundaries of the park. The article at present gives the impression that the RNP = the Richtersveld WHS. The conservancy is similar in area to the RNP, but just to the south - see map at .

re:Noah Feldman

I was collecting the sources for personal reference and thought others might find them of aid. If you feel it's not Wikipedic, by all means, delete it. --Yodamace1 11:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Blackman.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Blackman.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages 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. Durin 13:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Brianwilliams.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brianwilliams.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
