Growth hormone treatment for bodybuilding

I think your topic is so good that it deserves its own article. The existing growth hormone article is large and if you review the talk page you will see that we split several topics off into separate articles: Growth hormone treatment, Growth hormone deficiency, HGH quackery, and now Growth hormone treatment for bodybuilding.

The only problem I created is that when I block-pasted your new paragraphs into the new article, I am credited as the author. I explained this on the talk:Growth hormone treatment for bodybuilding page. May I suggest you open the new article, block-extract the original paragraphs, and re-paste them so you are credited with them in the Page history? Best regards. alteripse 07:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Could you please cite some scientific sources in your article rather than basing it all exclusively on hearsay? I do not disagree with nor will I attempt to refute anything you wrote in the article as I very much believe it to be intellectually honest. I also don't doubt that there are many sources of information on HGH available online that refute the data suggested in the one study cited on the discussion page. But just telling someone "Pro bodybuilders use it, so therefore it works, do some homework" is something of an unacceptable answer by Wiki standards when responding to criticism on a subject you profess to be something of an authority on.SubXerox 19:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Mediation

Hello, a request for mediation on Immortal Technique has been made. If you're willing to do this, leave a message on my talk page, briefly describing what you think is wrong, and what you'd like to see changed :-) Dan100 (Talk) 14:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Immortal Technique bio

I know you watch the page pretty closely, so I wanted to let you know I updated the bio of him. The previous version seemed to have been copyrighted, and ShadowyCaballero (talk • contribs) has indicated he did not in fact haver permission to post it. I didn't want to revert to earlier versions (as is tandard procedure) since it would have removed so much work. I did it quickly and in part off the top of my head, so if it not to much trouble, you might want to look it over and see if I got most of the material correct. I'm still curious what you think of the link idea on the talk page as well. Thanks for all your work on the page, --Hansnesse 22:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Finaplix gold.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Finaplix gold.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Regarding your query

Howdy! Just posting to let you know that I'm not out to get you, it's simply procedure that any unsourced, unlicensed images be served with a notice and, if nothing is done about them, deleted. If I hadn't done it, I'm sure one bot or another would have come through and done the same at some point in the future. You've stated that you don't know the license that the images are available under, and arent certain of the source. In cases like this, it's highly likely that the copyright remains with the photographer or owner of the site that the image is displayed on, and by default such pictures aren't allowed on a "free" encyclopedia. However, if you believe there to be a case for fair use for these images, you can replace the tags I added with {{Fairusein|article}}. Fair use doesn't require attribution, though it's preferred. You do need to give a rationale for the tags use, though; ie that you believe that the image adds significantly to the article, that it's being used for strictly informational purposes, that no equivalent free-license pictures are available, that using the image doesnt affect the ownership of the copyright of the photograph, and that it doesnt affect the ability of the owner to sell or distribute the photograph in any way.

I don't agree with Scarborough in any way, and I think his quotes are pretty laughable today, but they were quotes from 2003, and they are not controversy. Reply on that talk page. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-18 16:18

Image copyright problem with Image:Compensator.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Compensator.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kimchi.sg 01:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Loose Change on 9/11 page

The inclusion of "Loose Change" has been discussed endlessly on the talk page (probably in the archives now); the consensus was that it did not belong on the main page. It's not a question of ideologoy; the other movies you mention in the edit summary are major theatrical or television releases, while Loose Change is amateur. There is a link for it on the conspiracy page. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

external link

Hi, I saw your edit to one of the steroids, you added two external links (references) to the text. Though the external page does tell about the info contained in the document, I am a bit weary if they are good references. I don't think these pages can be described as a reliable source, pages from companies, blogs or general organisations/clubs &c. are not reviewed, and even with the best intentions from their side, if they have wrong info (which may be the case if it is not independently checked by experts), that propagates into the Wikipedia. Could you reconsider these links, or back them up with scientific references? Cheers! Besides all, I wish you merry Christmas, a happy new year, and keep up the good work! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Possession and Acquisition Licence

I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings; I believe Wikipedians should strive for excellence, and I'm pained when I see things that have been written without due care and attention. Obvious redundancy is not difficult to correct, and it's simply bad writing. You're right that making snide remarks is probably not the way to encourage people to change, and for that I apologize. (You point out that nobody cares to read my remarks. If that's true, then I will probably keep making them, since nobody reads them anyway and I do it mostly for my own entertainment.) Anyway, let me encourage you: it's nothing personal. Use it to motivate you, and then you can kick my ass by being a better writer. If we want Wikipedia to be taken seriously as a reliable source, we have to be serious writers. (For rules on capitalization of nouns, see proper name.) Cheers. Rhombus 04:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:JulianMarley1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JulianMarley1.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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:2744411671.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:2744411671.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Yahya.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Yahya.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gamaliel (Orwellian Cyber hell master) 19:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:RugerMini14002small.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:RugerMini14002small.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:29, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
