2006 crisis

I am very saddened that this crisis could not be averted. Honestly, there is too much political bickering going on with no one listening to each other. Even sadder is the fact that the populace has not risen and demanded a solution.

There are many solutions, both long-term and short-term, to end this conflict but the powers that be apparently do not see any reason to implement them. Joelito (talk) 04:00, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Whoa dude, awesome contributions. I just wrote certain things that need to be mentioned in the article. See the article's talk page. —Joseph | Talk 05:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that your recent changes to Obama–Ayers controversy were excellent, and have substantially improved the quality of the article. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:42, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hslda.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.

File:Bush Blanco.jpg

Just to let you know that I recently copied the above image that you uploaded to Wikipedia over to WikiMedia Commons, the Wikimedia central media repository for all free media. The image was either individually tagged or was in a category tagged with the {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} template. Your image is now available to all Wikimedia projects at the following location: Commons:File:Bush and Governor Kathleen Blanco Briefed on Hurricane Rita.jpg. During the move I changed the name of the image to better reflect Naming Conventions policy, duplicate file name and/or Commons naming restrictions. Any links to the image has been updated to reflect the new name as it exists now on Commons. The original version of the image uploaded to Wikipedia has been tagged with WP:CSD#F8.
