Speedy deletion nomination of File:KCLR Cliff Hatfield.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:KCLR Cliff Hatfield.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 14:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your message in my guestbook

Sorry, but I didn't take the barnstar because I believe that I should be awarded barnstars by having users award me them. I don't just grab them from pages and add them to my award page. If you think I absolutely must have that barnstar, you would have to post it on my talk page. NERDYSCIENCEDUDE (✉ message • changes) 02:17, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

That's ok I understand your point. Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 02:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Typo corrections

Hi – you just did an edit at Shetland Sheepdog, under the heading "Wikipedia:Typo Team". Of your four typo "corrections", I'm afraid two of them introduced errors which were not there before, and a third changed one correct version to another: I've reverted those changes. Do you think perhaps typo correction is not really your thing...? Best regards, Richard New Forest (talk) 19:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I used Google toolbar and wasn't sure if it was right but I figgured it was. I think I'll have to trust my gut a little more.Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 21:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Please improve your spelling (and grammar) before you trust your gut feeling too much! Richard New Forest (talk) 09:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Template:Colored text

I noticed the Hawaii article was broken because of edits on the above template. I was not the author, but it seems the Hawaii article is the only user of it. I think perhaps you intended to put some documentation there? I put documentation into the conventional place of Template:Colored text/doc, and restored the template itself to working order. Your edits had the summary "updated page" which is not very informative. We know you updated the page; the summary is meant to indicate some motivation behind the change. Of course discuss if there was some other reasoning. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 17:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Do not understand your response. What exact problem did you think was fixed by the "improvement"? Before your change, {{Colored text|blah|green}} produced: blah while after your change it produced:

To produce colored text use this code:

<span style="color: green">blah</span>

Example:

<span style="color:#0000FF">Example</span>

Produces: Example

A list of colors can be found here. (List of colors)

That is, what looks like an attempt to add documentation was inserted on each and every entry of the table in which the template was used. Did you read the documentation for templates? Did you look at the Hawaii article where it was used before and after your change to verify your change actually fixed what you thought was broken? If you indeed were attempting to add documentation, then a summary like "attempted to add documentation" might have made sense. Another idea might be to look at some other templates before modifying one that is in use. W Nowicki (talk) 23:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Re:your comment on my page

Sorry if I upset you...

I hope that I didn't come across as accusing you of vandalism; the pages didn't seem to link to anything. You're certainly free to recreate them or I can do it for you. Might need a trout slap myself...--PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

LOL! Not to worry. I've been known to be a bit jumpy on NPP.  :) Signed your guestbook, btw! I love those things. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
