DYK thanks and query
Thank you for featuring John Perlman. However it's a pity that this South African story was only featured for 6 hours between 1am and 7am on Monday morning South African time. Zaian 06:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting that. If someone actually believed that was what I said...God knows what would have happened. ~ Flameviper Who's a Peach? 15:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Michael des barres.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Michael des barres.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.

How to get a site on semi-protect status or mediation?
(BTW, what great travels you've had!) An editor is pulling a category from Health effects of September 11, 2001 attacks. He is doing this on a daily basis -from different IP addresses, so it doesn't break three revert rule. How do I get semi-protect status or start mediation? Thanks. Dogru144 01:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- For the heavy documentation I am referring to (1) the chemicals in the computers, other office equipment and the furnishings, and to (2) the health effect reactions to breathing particulates of those things pulverized.
This fragment of an early paragraph has four references: debris resulting from the collapse of the Twin Towers consisted of more than 2,500 contaminants,[1] more specifically: 50% nonfibrous material and construction debris; 40% glass and other fibers; 9.2% cellulose; and 0.8% asbestos,[2] lead, and mercury. There were also unprecedented levels of dioxin and PAHs from the fires which burned for three months.[3] Some of the dispersed substances (crystalline silica, lead, cadmium, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are carcinogenic; other substances can trigger kidney, heart, liver and nervous system deteriation.

Clearing next update
Am I missing something or did you clear the next update without updating DYK? The article queued there seem to have disappaered into the ether. Yomanganitalk 22:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
You uploaded this picture to Commons. It was mislabeled at lukeisback.com and shows not Julia Ann, but someone named Nikki Nine (compare the next two pictures on this page). Perhaps you want to have the picture deleted because it is misnamed. I also suggest some more diligence when uploading pictures; when looking at the other pictures of Julia Ann, it is quite clear that this picture does not show her, especially not on the same day when two of the other pictures were taken. --Rosenzweig 21:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

DYK creds
Do you not think Odengatan (talk · contribs) deserves some DYK-creds for the article I successfully nominated? ;) Camptown 13:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Front page DYK: Flag of Sweden
Spelling: Sillesalaten should be changed back to Sillsallaten according to the Swedish Academy's word book and Nordisk familjebok (2nd ed. vol 24, p. 534). The nickname was first used in Sweden, and the Swedish terms seems more relevant than the Norwegian "Sildesalaten". (I wrote the article and someone changed the spelling.)

Please delete Image:OrionConbadgesAnthrocon2006GreenReaper 100x100 thumb.jpg. You uploaded it back in November last year for DYK and protected it back then. It's now orphaned and redundant to the Commons image it's cropped from. I could tag it with {{subst:ncd}} but thought it'd be more courteous just to drop you a note. ;-) —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-14 04:42Z

Hi GeeJo. Your structure has been uploaded to the Commons and it is used in most language versions. It's a pity that the graphic quality is not very good (lines are not straight). Are you able to upload an improved version (see also PubChem)? Thanks. --Leyo 00:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Russell Crowe picture.
Hi GeeJo,
I've reverted the picture that you uploaded to the Russell Crowe page because it is actually a photo of Henk Vogels - in some lights he does look like Russell Crowe. The Missing Saddle guys often screw with stuff like that, so that is why the picture was tagged with that in Flickr. kju 10:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

- Hi GeeJo, Thanks for the mention of the Short Knuckleduster in DYK. Perhaps the wording in the article needs changing - it was the experimental data, not the info re handling and steam-cooled engines, which contributed towards the design of the later aircraft. Sorry about that. Can the DYK be amended appropriately? TraceyR 13:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi GeeJo
For the Jiao Yu article, I would have to agree. I moved most of the info to the article on his book, the Huo Long Jing. See the talk page of Jiao Yu for more.--PericlesofAthens 16:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dead Mans Party album.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

DYK in Primes in arithmetic progression?
Thanks for your kind words. I don't know whether my comment at Talk:Primes in arithmetic progression is a problem. I don't know DYK practice and maybe mathematics is a hard topic. I added a bit to the article. If you think this would be OK as basis then feel free to suggest it as it is or after you change to something more DYK-friendly:
- ... that Ben Green and Fields Medalist Terence Tao proved existence of arbitrarily many primes in arithmetic progression, but it took 75 computers to find an example with 24 primes.
I will watch this page and DYK suggestions. PrimeHunter 16:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, congratulations. Does that include ones that were added without you being notified? I suspect there are a number of DYK contributors from days gone by (before 2006, say) who would be recognised on the list if the systems had been as formalised as they are now. If someone has the time, it may be interesting project for someone to trawl the archives. Others, such as Geogre write or completely rewrite many articles but don't bother putting them up for DYK.

==annoying editor==
Hello - I picked your name randomly from a list of admins. I am having a minor problem with another editor - I/them may be approaching the 3 revert limit - the issue is a simple one but the other editor will not listen to basic policy.
The page is Civilization Revolution, the other user is User:JAF1970
My gripe is the the user is adding speculation to the article and reverting me when I try to remove it - they also have been removing corrections I have made in their reversions - which I find annoying.
I have tried to explain my problem with their edits on their talk page
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJAF1970&diff=141403906&oldid=141014667
The user does not seem to accept that what they are adding is speculation. examples
Now the user is talking about a 'compromise'. They add references that are simply copies of the original press release and does not seem to be able to read beyond the first line in an article.
I hope you or another admin you pass this on to will be able to get this stub article sorted out. I will keep an eye on the talk page. It's clear that the user simply is not really listening to me - that's why I seek help - this is obviously not a serious comlaint about the user.87.102.4.153 16:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
They also added from their talk page "Your problem is you haven't registered with Wikipedia, for starters. JAF1970 16:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJAF1970&diff=141417851&oldid=141416287 ??87.102.4.153 16:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
If you can help with this matter the obvious place to respond is Talk:Civilization Revolution Thank you.87.102.4.153 16:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
