When adding user warning templates to talk pages of vandals, please remember to sign your post with four tildes (~~~~). This adds the date and time of the entry, which is used to determine if vandalism has happened after the final warning. I have added your talk page to my watchlist, so you can reply or ask additional questions here.

Thanks for helping make Wikipedia a better place! -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) ^(Talk) 05:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Additions to MacBook/Pro articles

I appreciate your additions, however the information would need to be properly sourced to comply with Wikipedia's policy on verifiability and would further require proper sources. Also to note; the education discount can vary depending upon whether it's bought in store or online. From experience, the online education stores give less of a discount than the retail stores. It'd be difficult to find good sourcing to support that information since it's from personal experience, and therefore I believe it'd be best to leave the information out of the articles. Further Apple does not actively advertise the discounted prices. However a bit could be added that education discounts are available (as well discounts are available to Apple Developer's). Cheers.

April 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to User talk:78.90.21.170 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 18:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Whoops. Seems I blanked it without putting in a summary. I have now put that user's talk page up for CSD, as it just contains nonsense. - Ricksal0224 (talk) 18:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Zipcana.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. BJBot (talk) 23:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Nathan Scheelhaase

Just a friendly note on Nathan Scheelhaase. I declined your speedy deletion request because winning a state wide award is a claim of importance (but not notability). If you still think the article needs to be deleted, you can try prod or AfD. Hope that helps!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:27, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

A somewhat premature New Year's greeting

John Vanderlyn, Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos (c.1812), Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2022.
		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 20:43, 26 December 2021 (UTC) Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States. Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.
