Grey Knights picture

I think we don't have the rights to put the picture on the website. I've put a tag on the image -- can you either verify that wargamesworld explicitly lets us use it (and provide evidence of this...), or find another picture?

I keep meaning to just set up some of my GKs and take a pic...

Pictures

Well I sent the administrator an e-mail and I will post his answer if I get it. I actually meant to put the pictures on that site as placeholders for articles for Wikipedia for if I ever get around to putting my own pictures up. I'm sorry if this has caused a confusion and if the answer is no I will gladly take down all of the pictures I uploaded.

Warcraft Articles

Thanks for the compliments. I try to provide as much information as I can in the areas with which I'm familiar. Plus, I just love Warcraft :3 Kakashi-sensei 18:25, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

BTW, not to brag, I was the one that wrote the article on Kil'jaeden. Just thought I'd mention that since I wrote it before I was a member here. Oh, to be young and naïve as I was then. Anyway, thanks for the compliments. Kakashi-sensei 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Warhammer Copyvios

Howdy. I listed your articles Fabius Bile, Kharn the Betrayer, and Ahriman (Warhammer 40,000) as potential copyright violations of this site, this site, and this site, respectively, as they appear to be direct copy-and-paste jobs. If you are the original author of these works (or if they are public domain or otherwise free of copyright considerations) it should be okay to post them, but if not, they are in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Feel free to leave any questions on my talk page. Best, AиDя01DTALK 20:30, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

• ...and I'm an idiot. The last two are Wikipedia mirrors. My bad; I'll delist them from WP:CP. AиDя01DTALK 00:32, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

I did in fact get two of the articles in question from a site but believed them not to be copyrighted. I will get to work on changing them and cleaning them up ASAP and I apologize. Derktar 03:29, May 23, 2005 (UTC)Derktar

Hello

Hi Derktar... nice work on the WC3 pages such as Orc clans, Rexxar, Nerzhul and etc.

Based on the suggestion you made, i think its suitable to make articles for the major clans only. Somebody did article for the Blackrock orcs and it survived a VfD (written on the talk page for Orc (Warcraft)).. so i think we can make a new article if it has suitable content that can fill up a page (for small clans with not much info i think no need 4 a new article).

once again, great job in the WC3 articles!

Debroglie 09:34, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Yea.. thats what i planned to do... WC3 characters with infoboxes... i'm using the Star Wars character pages as a basis for our WC characters.. i'll get screenshots for Alleria Windrunner, Korgath and the rest thru Screenshots of WC2 soon =) Thanks.

Hey, I just uploaded about 60 or so images just them, I have put them on this page for the mean time, I will slowishly be putting them into the Warcraft articles.... if you can think of a good place to put them, by all means go ahead.

While it may be that I have a NPOV

While it may be that I have a NPOV problem I'd like to point out that Ted Bundy was a Republican.

this is what made me think it was ok to put ted on the list

see this list? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Famous_Eagle_Scouts what's Mr. Bishop famous for other than being killer?

Scouts vs Republicans

What kinda generic list of Eagle Scouts has serial killers on it?

isn't that sort of like denying it?

Isn't omiting him from that list like denying it?

California Republicans

How about under "California Republicans" could Ted's name be added there?

bundy CA GOP

I probably won't do it but thanks for being cool and working with me.

You seem to be doing pretty well yourself. I'm loathed to get involved myself - arbitration takes up so much of my time.

Warcraft Category

Yes I was quite distraught when I saw them all in the category.

I asked the help desk about it, you can see it here half way down; Wikipedia:Help_desk

The response was;

“

Template:WarcraftBCharacter and Template:WarcraftBLocation used to be in the category, and all of the articles you name transclude one or the other. Presumeably they haven't been edited since the templates changed. If you null-edit the articles (that is, edit them, and save without making any changes), their categories should update correctly. See m:Help:Template#A category tag in a template; caching problem for more details. —Cryptic (talk) 13:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

I didnt have the time to manually edit the 45 pages myself, and figured as people edited the articles it would resolve itself. - UnlimitedAccess 05:24, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikichristian

I notice that you are a Christian. Come and take a look at www.wikichiristian.org and consider contributing. It is still small and has very few users. I'm praying that God helps the site to grow and become a forum for Christians to write and read about all aspects of Christianity. It is not meant to be a copy of wikipedia. It is not meant to be purely an encyclopedia. For any given topic, it will hopefully contain a short summary of the topic followed by links to many sub-articles - some containing simple facts; some sharing experiences; some explaining a particular viewpoint and so on.

Take for example the article on grace. It has various "Definition and explanation" articles explaining the meaning of grace. It has a few "Articles / opinions" about grace. It has links for "Quotes' about grace and links to "Songs about grace". The site is also meant to be a resource site containing information about Christian texts, literature, art, music, radio, television and internet.

Take a look at the example article on the song Shout to the Lord. It has links to information about the song, lyrics and chords to the song and links for comments or opinions to be expressed about the song.

The site also intends to explain the history of important events in Christianity. Take a look at The Reformation section. This has links for "Overview" articles, "Opinion" articles, "Quotes" and "Travel" stories.

The site intends to be a reference about major (and minor) figures in the Bible, the early church and today. Take a look at John Stott. It contains "Overview" and "Opinion" articles. It contains texts of "Talks" given by John Stott and links to "Books" by John Stott.

In summary, I suppose, that my hope is that WikiChristian becomes a major reference point for Christians and non-Christians to go to find about any issue related to Christianity. I don't believe that this should be carbon-copy of wikipedia. It should resemble it in some ways, but in other ways, it should be quite different in structure and evolution. I realize that there are different views about different topics - and accordingly, there should always be the opportunity for a person to write his personal view under the "Opinion and articles" section of any given page.

I would love you to take a look at wikichristian and contribute. If you don't wish to contribute, would you consider visiting it's world wide directory of churches we are setting up and entering your church into the database. The point of the database is to state the location of a church with the service times and add a brief description of the church. You can take a look for example at: Church Directory -> Australia -> South Australia -> Adelaide -> St Matthew's Anglican Church

If you don't wish to contribute to WikiChristian, you could consider one of the other wikis related to Christianity that have been set up by other people. These include: Theopedia, Compass or OrthoxWiki.

Thanks

In three or four days I will begin deleting the 20 or 30 fair use pictures on Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword because currently they are a violation of copyright law and Wikipedia image policy. I noticed you uploaded some, and so I'm giving you notice of my intention; this way you have some time to add fair use rationale to a few of them.

Hi,

I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. Christian Knowledge Base is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. It is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 05:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Please help

Sorry to bother you, but as an Inclusionist wikipedia things are getting desperate and I need to appeal to your for help. We are facing a situation where a deletionist admin is free to declare inclusionist arguments "absurd" and ignore them at will. If you don't agree with this situation, please share your opinion here.

Redirect of Eye of Sargeras

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Eye of Sargeras, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Eye of Sargeras is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Eye of Sargeras, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.
