Hey dude, I don't know how to add a license after I've already uploaded the picture. Sorry, but if you just tell tell me what to do I'd be happy to comply. Thanks.

As no one seems to have extended you an official Wikipedia welcome yet, let me do so now:

Welcome!

Hello, Scriberius/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  Cheers, -- Infrogmation 17:34, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Well, thanks! - I'm usually busy @ the German speaking Wikipedia and contributed about 30 articles within a month but nobody has welcomed me so far... Anyway, the English Wikipedia ist much more advanced and I wish to do more here rather then there. --Scriberius 20:50, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your contributions to the Isan article. However, please please don't keep capitalising compass directions- there's no need for this in English! Mark¹ 00:28, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Howdy Khoon Markalexander100! I was pretty shure that there is a regulation (like Thursday) to do so but if you (as a teacher) say so - OK & sorry. I'm going ahead and restore it then. --Scriberius 00:56, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)

Hi. Re the sede vacante image. It came from the Vatican website. Of course, you can't copyright an ancient coat of arms, so copyright's not an issue, jguk 15:47, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Heya, thanks - that sounds reasonable. It might be older than 70 years. Scriberius 16:40, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. In response to your changes to Hofbräuhaus, I wanted to let you know about some formatting issues,

• We always use the serial comma when giving lists (no: apples, oranges and bananas; yes: apples, oranges, and bananas).
• Try to stick with the second largest header in articles (that is, use ==Header== instead of =Header=)

Thanks for adding to the article! If you're looking for a project, we are always looking for knowledgeable help at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Beer. --Sean κ. ⇔ 01:42, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your notice. OK, I will follow those formatting rules in the future. Reg. the serial comma: I've had 10 years of English and using a comma after the word and is new to me. The numerational comma replaces the and between elements in a sentence. So "your" way of writing '..., and ... is needless and duplicates the meaning of and. "apples, oranges, and bananas" leads to "apples and oranges and and bananas". Hmm, maybe that's a variant of the US-american English. I'm sure you haven't invented that...but that's just my P.O.V. It's cool that you guys have a Wikiproject for beer - I'll give it a look! Anyway, cheers! Scriberius 12:23, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)

Very perceptive about the comma... its use doesn't exactly fall on national boundaries. For example, the New York Times does not use that extra comma, but books published by the Oxford University Press do. Really, there is no agreement anywhere. The decision to use that extra comma was the result of a huge argument on this Wikipedia, the final style guide is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. —Sean κ. ⇔ 14:17, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Alright then :) Scriberius 14:25, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)

External links of airlines

Hi Scriberius - I noticed you keep changing airline external links from the main site (eg www.airbaltic.lv to the English version (eg www.airbaltic.com/public/index.html?language=1). I deliberately use the main site as it is substantially less likely to be altered and thus become a broken link. The links you are putting in are very prone to alteration and becoming broken. Also it is easy for the user to switch to the English version once on the site - they may not always be English users. Also in External Links in airlines you also keep putting in "Official Site" rather than the airline name. I don't understand this - surely users know what an External Link is. I'm just trying to keep some consistency as I have added hundreds of airline articles and stubs. Ardfern 20:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Howdy, ok I'll keep the URL citation in mind. Reg. the description of a link, I find it useless if www.lufthansa.com in an article is described as Lufthansa - that's for shure anyway. It's better to describe it as an official site. To prevent an edit war, I will not edit "your" style of describing an external link anymore OK?! Scriberius 14:06, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)

Your user page needs less Image:Cowbell2.gif

You have the image Image:Cowbell2.gif on your user page; this image is copyrighted and used in the Will Ferrell article under Wikipedia:Fair use. The use on your user page of that image is unlikely to be covered by use however, and as such is probably a Copyright violation. Could you remove the image from your user page?

Featured article for December 25th

I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that Brian0918 has nominated Omnipotence paradox as the front page article for December 25th. You can vote on this matter here. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday.

I noticed that you put a link to [[de:University of Washington]] into the Washington State University article. I don't know if that was an honest mistake, a horrid misunderstanding, or purely evil vandalism (us Washington State Cougars are not too friendly with the Washington Huskies), but I thought I'd point it out to you.

Moving images to the Commons

For images with the same name in the Commosn please use {{NowCommonsThis}} or {{NCT}} instead of {{NowCommons}} or {{NC}}. That marks them as "easy" move if there's an admin willing to spend some time to actually delete these images. --Denniss 02:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Visa (document)

I have just moved your additions to this article to the talk page. I absolutely agree that the content needs to be in the article but the language needs tidying up to match the rest of the article before it goes in. Otherwise that section really stands out from the rest of the text. Hopefully, I will have time to do this tomorrow. Please feel free to revert me if you disagree.

PS Most people reading the article will think of a paper visa when they think of visas so I have returned the image of the paper visa back to the top of the article

Fair use rationale for Image:Ecumenical Patriarchate.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ecumenical Patriarchate.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

You might also like to know that the article is up for deletion, and will probably be deleted within a few days. The problem is that it is extremely short, and provides no helpful material beyond the definition. Please see Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Missing image?

Hello, I trust I am writing to he who is also known as Mattes, on the Wikimedia Commons. A few days ago, I noticed that an image (David gegen Goliath.jpg) had disappeared from an article (Sling (weapon)). I eventually tracked the image to your gallery #13, where I see you uploaded three images concerned with David and Goliath. Two images remain, one was removed apparently due to lack of a license. I have found another copy of that image on Wikipedia (Image:DavidAndGoliath.jpg) but it is of very poor quality. Might I ask you to upload your version of that image again, with proper licensing?

Thanks! — SWWright^Talk 10:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I guess you mean Image:David gegen Goliath.jpg @ commons (the original pic has gone). The pic ist still in the article. I've put a no source tag into the commons file. Scriberius 13:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Very strange ... I have now verified that the image of David and Goliath is present in the Commons and in article that refer to it, but I cannot see it from my PC (I CAN see it from other PCs). I'm just going to leave it be, and make a note to check from other PCs if I find other "missing" images in Wikipedia. — SWWright^Talk 19:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Scriberius, the image David_gegen_Goliath.jpg is gone again, and this time it is really gone. Here is a link to the deletion log in the Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=Image:David_gegen_Goliath.jpg

Do you want to restore that image? There is another copy, apparently identical, in the English Wikipedia's Image namespace, called DavidAndGoliath.jpg:

File:DavidAndGoliath.jpg

— SWWright^Talk 07:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Scriberius, What was the original source of the image "David gegen Goliath.jpg"? Did you scan a photo in a book? What book? The existing copy of that image in the English Wikipedia ("DavidAndGoliath.jpg"), does not identify its source (but does state that the image is now in the public domain). I have also made this request in Talk:Sling (weapon) and in your talk page in the Commons. — SWWright^Talk 20:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It was a upload of this Wikipedia edition. There was no source given but since it looked a bit old, I took pd-old as a tag. Also, I do not remember the uploader. An admin could help... I would like to have this issue cleared but there is no solution in the internet as far as I see. Unfortunately, I have no time for libary research. I like the picture... Scriberius 21:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

So, the image I linked to earlier, in the English Wikipedia, is the source for the copy in the Commons that has now been deleted? Then I am going to link the image in the English Wikipedia into the Sling article, and maybe find out who uploaded it and ask him/her where the image came from.

Thanks for your help! — SWWright^Talk 18:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Boarding (transport)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Boarding (transport), by Vegaswikian (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Fair use rationale for Image:Thai domestic passenger ticket.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Thai domestic passenger ticket.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Please do not, it will only add work for others to clean up after you and move them to article talk. Adding all sorts of requests for minor details will clutter up Wikipedia articles if they are not placed on the talk pages instead. --Para 16:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

No such "cleaning up" is necessary. Nobody suggested "Adding all sorts of requests for minor details". Please don't spread FUD. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 16:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The line needs to be somewhere. Currently it seems to be inclusion in WP:TC. Coincidentally, at least one user has already been blocked for adding these requests in articles, after having been fooled by Andy of a nonexistent consensus. The cleanup template list was later corrected [6] and all the uses of the template were moved to article talk pages. --Para 16:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

More dishonest FUD - the block was of a bot, temporarily, to stop its automated work, and relates to a different template. Para has yet to demonstrate consensus for his assertions. Note also that WP:TC includes neither {{ISBN}} nor {{listdev}}; and that they like {{LocateMeText}}, are not "clean-up" templates. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop calling everything FUD when it's against your POV. As a preventive action the block was temporary, but the user controlling the bot hasn't added any coordinate requests since then, not with the bot or otherwise, so the measure was effective. See the user's note about wanting nothing to do with the coordinate requests project anymore. Both of those other templates belong in the article cleanup or maintenance group, while {{LocateMe}}, {{LocateMeText}}, {{LocateMeLong}} and {{LocateMeBot}} do not. Template talk:LocateMe#Templates_gone_mad clearly points out that such messages do not belong in articles, but Andy is known to go on and on with his opinions when the consensus is against his views (as noted most recently in his arbitration case), so it's pointless to continue the discussion, especially here. --Para 20:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop posting FUD, and ad hominem coments. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 23:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Clashes in Kenya (2007–present)

You added that image. Obviously it does not show violent protesters but people jumping from a pick-up car on a street either smoke filled with tear gas or smoke from something burning. Why dont you look for a pic that fits your description or at least has some information? This one is pure guesswork. --Kipala (talk) 12:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

File:2007 and 2008 Violence in Kenya.jpg

The guys on the truck are not holding their weapons for amusement, but for violence. I have no idea about the smoke. It might be fire set on purpose or tear gas. Anyway, it is most probably not smoke of cooking or wind carrying dust. It doesn't matter, because the guys are important. Civil protesters, so what's the problem. It suits the article properly but not perfect. As I see, there's a better pic in the article now. It is not easy to find a free picture for the clashes. --Scriberius (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC) edited Scriberius (talk) 11:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

BMW Museum

I was wondering about your edit of BMW Welt. You said the museum is next to the main head quarters of BMW in Munich; BMW Welt is located next to the main headquarters. My understanding is that BMW Welt was to house the Museum temporarily until a permanent BMW Museum was built. Currently BMW Museum redirects to BMW Welt. Depending on what the truth of it all is, the article/redirects should probably be modified. Aepryus (talk) 14:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I guess this explains it pretty well: [[7]]. Perhaps a BMW Museum article is in order? Aepryus (talk) 14:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera (talk) 02:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

After creating this article, I google-searched it and found out that you'd been working on a copy in your user space.

Good to have that article "in real"... Thank you for that. Now I have to see what I can transfer. My source for the 13th century establishment is from the www but I can't recall the URL.

Notability of Thai President Foods Public Company Limited

A tag has been placed on Thai President Foods Public Company Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Schuym1 (talk) 13:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

There were no, zero, none, nil references in that article, other than the subject's own website. That implies that it is in fact not notable, since there was nothing to back up any of the claims in it. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

While that is a perfectly good argument for AfD or even a PROD, CSD A7 clearly states that only an assertion of notability is required (for example being top 10 in the world). It does not require that that assertion be supported by references. Sure, we can ignore spurious claims of notability (Joe is the greatest person ever!), but the claims in this article were not spurious. I think you should rethink this one. Lack of references is not something that we speedy delete articles for. -Chunky Rice (talk) 21:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
   Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
   If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
3. If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-ip|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing.  Sandstein  20:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Michelangelo. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Enki H. (talk) 23:11, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

If you refer to my last edit (diff), you're the one who's unconstructive. The main article needs a superior pipe in its parent category. Open the Category:Michelangelo and look where the biography of Michelangelo is situated now. It's under "M" not at the beginning like I wanted it. Sorry, to tell you but your revert was useless. BTW, vandalism is a really harsh word to use for this matter. I'd like to ask you not to call me a vandal anymore. Bye, --Scriberius (talk) 08:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

With apologies. On the diff it appeared that the category change was from Michelange lo to Michelange lol ! (blanks for emphasis). It is indeed a heavily vandalized page, but no, your edit was not vandalism. I have reinstated the change :-) Cheers Enki H. (talk) 12:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, there is a a lot to do. Why is there a complaint about an unwritten (at least not in the article namespace) article? I guess, another person could write it much better and launch it faster than me. I cannot give a guarantee that it will be done the next 3 years ... On the other hand, if this Assoc. is non-notable according to Wikipedia I will drop that project right away. Thanks for notifying. --Scriberius (talk) 18:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

It is believed to be inaccurate. As things stand, the article would fall to be deleted as {{nn-org}} if in the mainspace. Stifle (talk) 16:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to check Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and as soon as I find out more (e.g. the no. of members). Maybe you can tell the person the difference between the article and the user namespace in the meantime. I'm on a major Wikibreak starting on Monday which lasts to the end of december because of a trip so January/February 2010 is the time frame to work on it. Chances are that this project is being revoked by me because it is very small and maybe non-notable. --Scriberius (talk) 18:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
