Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you contributed a fair bit to the Ontario Pioneer Camps article, a subject that is of a fair bit of interest to me since I have worked there for the last four summers. If you need any help with Wikipedia just let me know and I'd be glad to help out. silsor 05:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please do not vandalize user pages as you did to User:TJ1234's page. These sorts of actions can get you blocked. Rklawton 01:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• thank you for the effort lawton, but it was unnecessary. what i did was not vandalism. the user happens to be a friend of mine and the fruit-fucker (which is what the picture is of) happens to be a sort of inside joke (if you read penny arcade, which you should, you would know what i was talking about). anyways, id appreciate it if you didnt baselessly accuse me of vandalism. thanks! Benji64 03:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• • My concerns were most obviously not baseless. However, I'm happy to stand corrected. Rklawton 07:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to User:TJ1234. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Alphachimp ^talk 03:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Get him to edit the page to that version. I believe you that he's your friend, but you can't change other people's userpages, particularly when it appears to be vandalism. Anyway, get him to log in and edit his own page. Feel free to get back to me with any further questions. Regards, Alphachimp ^talk 03:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

okay thanks ill do that. Benji64 03:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, ok. Have a good night. Alphachimp ^talk 03:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Thomas mcfadden

We seem to be fairly close in our opinion of this article (I was considering a speedy delete of the article as an attack page before performing the redirect). If you can get a useful article out of what is there then more power to you. --Allen3 ^talk 03:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Book jacket text question

I've very recently begun creating new articles for Wikipedia and appear to be learning the finer rules as I go along - having read the book The Computer Connection, I felt it was safer to use the book jacket's text (which I'd be surprised to find is copyrighted text, though I'm happy to be told where I'm wrong) rather than relying on my own imperfect memory to create a possibly less coherent plot description. All the same, as I was entering it I felt questionable about re-using someone else's words. Is it always discouraged to use book jacket text? As I build pages about Alfred Bester, a favorite of mine, I want to be as accurate and thorough as possible. Thank you for your suggestions. CGrue 05:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• hey CGrue--regarding the use of book jacket text: i think its sort of a gray area, there is probably no copyright on the text, but i think, generally, it may be more useful to the encyclopedia user to have a clear, more detailed synopsis, rather than a blurb meant to advertise the book. also, according to WP:NPS, large amounts of material should not be copied directly from a source. however, its a good place to start, and i may have been wrong in deleting it. if youve read the book, perhaps you should start a plot section in the article and just provide a brief rundown of the main points in a more encyclopedic tone than the jacket provided (or if youre very worried about your memory, just change the info found in the jacket into your own words, and lose the advertising-ish feel). i hope this helped, get back to me if you have any more questions. happy editing.

Copyright problems with Image:Na-K pump.gif

An image that you uploaded, Image:Na-K pump.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

• Yes, I have looked into it and I think it should be removed, the copyright appears to be held by Addison-Wesley and Benjamin Cummings, a publishing company. I should not have added it and am sorry about the whole thing. Thanks for your watchfulness. Benji64 16:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:House centipede 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:House centipede 2.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Todd Bachman"

A page you created, Todd Bachman, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

You might want to read WP:BLP1E. From your article, it looks like this guy is notable only by virtue of having been murdered earlier today. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 2008 Olympics attack on American nationals

I have nominated 2008 Olympics attack on American nationals, 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/2008 Olympics attack on American nationals (2nd nomination). 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Elliskev 16:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Cute Kitten

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Cute Kitten, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Ost (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Diazirine

The article Diazirine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Transwiki to Wiktionary unless greatly expanded.

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Irbisgreif (talk) 17:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
