Actual Conversation

I'll leave the newbieish thing up there, useful links. So if you want to add anything, just feel free.

merger

hi overand, i've proposed a merger of Serotonergic psychedelics and psychedelic drug as they seem to be on the exact same thing. your treatment of the topic is excellent, imo, and there's plenty of info in there that isn't in psychedelic drug, but as they seem to be on the exact same class of drugs i'm not sure that two seperate articles are warranted. But i've been wrong about plenty of things in life, so your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated at the psychedelic drug talk page. Thanks alot! (btw, have you checked out Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants? you may be interested.) --Heah ^talk 23:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Your name is a reference to an Autechre song, correct? Fuzzform 15:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it isn't. --Overand 15:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

New Wiki

Hello. I notice you have a depression userbox on your user page. I'm working on a new wiki for people with depression over at Wikicities (a project started by Jimbo and Angela). The idea is to create the ultimate resource for people affected by depression, with information on medication, therapies, helpful organisations and a lot more. I wonder if you would be interested in contributing to it? It's very young at the moment, but if we can build a community over there it should get off the ground. If you'd like to look it over, it's at http://depression.wikicities.com . I would be great if you would give it a glance. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 12:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:GURPSPlanetofAdventure.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GURPSPlanetofAdventure.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 16

Hi. When you recently edited Tim Larkin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Portal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
