Science pearls

Hello,

Since you contributed in the past to the publications’ lists, I thought that you might be interested in this new project. I’ll be glad if you will continue contributing. Thanks,APH 11:36, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in.

Copyvio procedure

Hi, just a reminder, when you tag an article (like LGBT Living) as {{copyvio}}, be sure to follow the procedure in the Instructions section of WP:CP, including blanking the infringing text of the article (if it cannot be reverted to a non-infringing version), including the URL of the source in the tag (like this: {{copyvio|url=URL goes here}}), and adding a line to the daily copyright problems log (copy/paste the subst: in the rendered version of the copyvio notice in the article). Cheers, MCB 07:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Goldberg

Stephen Goldberg is the principal for Great Neck Village School! There's nothing wrong with that! Why are you putting it up for deletion? (Laicos)

There is a category called Principals. Is he a principal? I believe so. So why is it been put up for deletion? (Laicos)

I have based it upon the Wikipedia:Notability (people) criteria. --Janarius 21:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Listing articles for deletion

When you list articles for deletion, please remember to follow the full process as described at WP:AFD#How to list pages for deletion. In particular, if you forget the third stage, then most people will never see the deletion discussion, and it might take much longer for a decision to be made.

In the cases of Stephen Goldberg and Laurie Burg, I've finished the process for you and listed the deletions properly, but hopefully you'll remember to do it yourself in future! — Haeleth Talk 15:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Statistics

Hi, I read your user page, and thought you might be interested in this : Wikipedia:Statistics. It's probably not the kind of research you mean but it's a start. Peace, IronChris | (talk) 14:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

World of Purgatory

Hey - I removed your speedy deletion tag. When an article is a suspected hoax (or unverifible), speedy deletion doesn't do a good job, as it's not a criterion that anyone can easily evaluate. I marked the article with {{hoax}}, and I'll leave nominating it for WP:AFD (or better, WP:PROD) up to you. Cheers! Mangojuice^talk 19:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Psychology

I didn't see all the educational userboxes until I viewed your page. I've replaced it with. Thanks! Mkdw 20:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Article on personality

Janarius, thank you for your suggestion (which I endorse) that the article on personality needs a clean-up. Your point that some of what is in this article at present overlaps with other articles is well-taken by me - I found this especially true of the section on cognitive models of personality, which to me seemed less about cognitive approaches to personality than about cognitive therapy. Again, thank you for having the courage to challenge this article. I see you a student studying psychology - I teach and research psychology for my profession. ACEO 21:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for what you said about anonymous edits coming from people at Keene State College. Did you say that you were going to write to the Chair of Psychology at Keene College? I shall be happy if you wished to leave a draft of your proposed e-mail on my userpage (discussion). 195.93.21.132 19:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC) The following should have been signed by ACEO on ACEO 19:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Thank you for what you said about anonymous edits coming from people at Keene State College.

Thank you for sight of the letter on my userpage. It looks very good to me, except that I wonder whether you could also list how problems with the current article on personality are that it does not really focus on the topic?195.93.21.132 21:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The further amendments you left on my userpage for your letter to Keene State College look excellent to me. Sorry that my last edits were not signed with my proper username (ACEO) - as an AOL user, that happens sometimes! Good luck, and congratulations on having the courage to contact Keene State College, if I were you, I would feel free to go ahead. ACEO 20:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Deleted my pages and links

I was creating a page on bus route 131 from the STM and while I was editing the page you suggested the page for deletion and deleted all links to it. The page is now complete and links are restored. Paquetjs 21:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the page and it's links but I should point out that every station on the metro system has it's own page and I don't see why a bus route shouldn't. I would like to also point out that most bus routes from the OC Transpo in Ottawa have their own pages. Please look at OC_Transpo_Route_95, the article was nominated for deletion and but was kept. I beleive this stands as precedent. However, I will not go any further and I will keep the page as is (nominated for deletion). I do believe that you should have stated this in the talk page and not suggested the page for deletion immediatly.Paquetjs 21:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

My apology

Janarius, if you recevied a message from me it was because your name appeared on a history file as an editor of the Amelia Earhart article. If the message was sent in error, please accept my apology; I merely wanted to ensure all editors had a chance to voice their opinions. Bzuk14:31 3 January 2007 (UTC). Further: The note that I saw in the "history" page on " 15:01, 17 February 2006 Janarius (Talk | contribs) m (rv edits by 209.149.52.7 to last version by Hurricane111)" indicated to me that you were probably an administrator or active Wikipedian who had an interest in safeguarding the Amelia Earhart article from "vandals." Again, my apology- I merely wanted to inform editors who had contributed to the article that a proposed change in the structure was being contemplated. BTW Happy New Year. Bzuk18:32 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Regarding edits made to Andrew schlauderaff

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Janarius! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule img[0-9]*\.imageshack\.us/img[0-9]*/.*\.jpg, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 14:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

swanning around

I hasten to say that I know nothing about psychology but the "shape" of self-verification theory and the surrounding edits look dubious to me. It is clearly a vanity piece. Its length puts it into the original research category. I think you will find that every reference on Wikipedia to William Swann and his theory has been added by Wbswann or, likely sock puppets, Douglas11 and Niko7209. I am minded to send his theory to AfD. What do you think? And has he contacted you? -- RHaworth 23:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I will not allow the afd to pass *1*. His theory is mentioned in social psych textbooks and is quite notable. However, I agree that it is pretty much a vanity page (it's more info than the textbooks I have here and a bit confusing) and should be rewritten for the general public or at least for psych students. A compromise would be to send the article to the sister projects like psychwiki.com or psychology wiki and a new text drafted for easy comprehension. He hasn't contacted me yet, so I will contact him on the rules and policies and ask him for a rewrite. Do you mind specifying which policies and rules to mention to him, I am sick at the moment...--Janarius 15:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

*1* That reads a bit arrogant. I will read it as "if you raise an AfD, I will vote 'keep' ". Policies? WP:COI above all: avoid editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with. I really need say no more! But WP:NOR seems relevant and WP:BIO applies to William Swann - there are two external links but both are autobiography rather than "third party" sources. Get well soon! -- RHaworth 19:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend.--Janarius 19:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the wikiprojects link. I'll look into it a bit more! --Nmfbd 15:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Nice catch on Sisters of Wellber

Adding an AfD at the same time as inserting random crap further down is particularly vicious -_- I'm surprised I didn't notice. Thanks for taking care of it. --Darkbane ^talk 17:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Colleges in Quebec

Hi Janarius. I believe CEGEPs would fall within the scope of WikiProject Universities because they are higher education institutions, i.e. they are post-secondary insitutions that award academic degrees (specifically, DECs). In some respects they function as a technical college and in others they offer the equivalent of the first year of a university undergraduate degree program. Danelo 19:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your help with the IN page--its up now. Wbswann 02:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

BioWall tags

Hello, I'm new to wikipedia and I've seen you just added two tags to my article BioWall: notability and inappropriate tone.

I've got some questions: If I add some references to scientific papers, would that increase the notability of the article? If not, what should I do? What do you mean by inappropriate tone?

Thanks for you help. Tarpedien (talk) 15:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I added two references to scientific papers, I hope they will demonstrate that the BioWall is an important step toward the creation of self-repairing hardware, a subject I find quite notable: so I deleted the notability tag.

Anyway, I still need to know what I could change to meet the tone requirements. You would be nice to give me some hints on what to change.

Thanks again. Tarpedien (talk) 14:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I made some modifications in the redaction of the BioWall article. If you have some time, could you read it again and if you find the tone is ok, remove the related tag (I don't want to remove it myself)... Thanks. Tarpedien (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Quantum fingers hang on tag

it looks like it is too late to add a hang on tag as the page has been deleted.

Quantum fingers is a game. it is of interest because it is a quantum variant of a well known classical card game. it is not an organisation. it is not a person.

I am not writing it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orathaic (talk • contribs) 13:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain the reason for this article being mistakenly deleted? how i came to write it in the first place, is as follows: i searched for an article on the subject to improve my knowldege of the rules for this game. i failed to find one on wikipedia, i found one using google but only in their cache. I wrote the article so there was at least one good description of the game in existance.

can it be retrieved? Orathaic (talk —Preceding comment was added at 09:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AnimeSanjushiDVD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AnimeSanjushiDVD.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for File:Concordialogo2007large.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:Concordialogo2007large.PNG. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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:Non-free 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 18:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
