Hello!

I just cleared this out because some editors repost the Welcome message... but I've been here awhile, and the other message was pretty useless :P

Winter-een-mas

The article on Winter-een-mas redirects to Ctrl+Alt+Del, so I removed the link you created as it simply directed the user to the original page. Just letting you know why I did it --Tim 16:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for posting on my talk page, nice to see you bothered to read the comment :) I don't know what happened, because I was talking about the present. I tried the link and it redirected me to the CAD article, which was clearly pointless. I've checked it out a bit better, and the capitalisation was redirecting to the CAD (i.e. Winter-Een-Mas, not Winter-een-mas). Feel free to put the link back in as I agree there's enough content, but check the link goes to the right page. --Tim 20:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:: No problem! Out of interest, is there a reason you've referenced the latest set of Winter-een-mas comics, but not previous ones which explain the origins, etc of Winter-een-mas? If the article is still a work in progress, fair enough. I'm just checking whether or not there's a specific reason before I add anything which is unwanted! --Tim 21:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

''...the CAD article does not cover it in enough depth'' There is no depth needing covering.

Read this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wintereenmas ↗

Any questions? --Calton | Talk 04:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

''A major gaming chain (EB Games) recognizes it'' Hmm, a company selling video games "recognizes" (whatever that means) a "holiday" promoting video games. Kind of like KFC "recognizing" National Chicken Eating Day. --Calton | Talk 06:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

As Calton keeps deleting any attempt to work on the Winter-een-mas article, I've set up a user sub page. I think we can work on improving the article there, then when it's a good article hopefully people will see it deserves its own article. It's here if you're interested. --Tim 17:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for the support Liastnir :) I don't think I'll end up doing much on it for a while as I'm in the middle of A-level exams, but I'll try and help work on the page. --Tim 12:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Marijuana Wiki

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki ↗

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Replaceable fair use Image:MacKingPromo.JPG

32px|left|Replaceable fair use ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':Image:MacKingPromo.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:

# Go to the image description page ↗ and edit it to add {{tlx|di-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, 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 <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy ↗. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you. – Quadell <sup>(talk ↗) (random ↗)</sup> 16:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit ↗ project is under consideration to be moved to {{t1|inactive}} and/or {{t1|historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete ↗ or redirect the project.

:Winter (Star Wars) ↗

left|48px| ↗
Another editor has added the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> template to the article Winter (Star Wars) ↗, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion ↗ process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not ↗ and Wikipedia:Notability ↗). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page ↗. If you remove the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion ↗, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Malacia

left|link=|48px| ↗

The article Malacia ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗  because of the following concern:
:'''Dictionary article'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.
