Hi, about Futaba, etc: I replied on WP:RfD, but here's the same info - just go ahead and turn Futaba into a Wikipedia:Disambiguation page - you can just start editing on it to do that. I have set Futaba BBS to point to Futaba Channel, which I believe is the right thing, and if it's OK with you, I'll delete the {RfD} notice on it, and leave it. Noel (talk) 04:06, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nellie Connally

Why do you keep on changing the Nellie Connally article? Jackie O never tried to leap out of the car, she went up to grab JFK's brain that got blasted to the front of the car. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Goldstann2 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

The above poster has been blocked, thanks for the info. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 01:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

International Miniature Aerobatic Club

Thanks for creating this page. Great subject. I started a discussion page there for some Q&A. I would love to have your input. Turlo Lomon 01:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

*******1 article

I've just deleted the article *******1, which you created as an empty page. Was there a reason that you created this ... this is the third time an article of this title has been deleted. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I think VandalProof put a revert of an already existing speedy delete page just at the same time as the page had been deleted. -Gdavidp 19:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Ahh - I think I understand. I also see the article is now protected from re-creation, which seems wise. Regards --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Every now and then that happens even if you're not using VP. I think it requires a very close timing of the deletion and the editor clicking on "Save page". If you click save a second earlier, your saves take and are then deleted with the article. A second later and you get the message that the article was deleted. Takes a very tight split-second to unintentionally recreate it without knowing it. Fan-1967 21:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

retailing article

There was some vandalism in the retailing article (someone put an ad in it), and you responded by reverting to a previous version. Unfortunately, the version you went back was too far in the past. Now all the links and graphics are gone, and work undone. I am reverting it back to the version right before the article was vandalized by user "Akuvodapainting" (whose personal page also reads as an advertisement, so I have serious doubts about this user).Hope you don't mind --Nicolo Machiavelli 11:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Gun Fu - Animal Fighting Styles

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Gun Fu - Animal Fighting Styles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Image source problem with Image:AcademyModelAeronauticsLogo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:AcademyModelAeronauticsLogo.jpg. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 11:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MAAC logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:MAAC logo.gif. 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 (talk) 22:15, 2 January 2008 (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.
