Also you can sign your name on talk pages and vote pages with three tildes like this ~~~, and your name with a time stamp with four like this ~~~~. Howabout1 15:23, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

JustSomeKid are you a molecular biology person? Me too. ron 15:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm grossly ignorant of the field. Some aspects I know a bit about, though, and there are a few things in it I think are really cool. - JustSomeKid 22:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey -- I noticed you have redirected a vast number of pages on individual kata to the page karate kata. I'm a mergist myself, so I understand the principle of this, but I think this is effectively removing a LOT of information from Wikipedia. Was this the result of a consensus somewhere? If so, let me know on my talk page; for now, I'm reverting all of those so the information is preserved. If not, I'm happy to debate this if you disagree; let me know and we can start a discussion, perhaps at Talk:Karate kata so that other people can find it. Mangojuice 04:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through your history, I found many similar redirections to Blocking techniques and other mass-merge pages. Similarly, I'm undoing this, it's losing a lot of information. Mangojuice 04:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm posting a response at Talk:Shotokan#Kata instruction, but I am making a link to that discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Martial Arts, because some interested editors may not be aware of it, on a Shotokan page. Mangojuice 12:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning Monkey-baiting article[edit]

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. SirIsaacBrock 21:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Omission of two unwiki sentences does not constitute vandalism. - JustSomeKid 21:47, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my comment in regards to this at User_talk:SirIsaacBrock#Monkey-baiting_2. --Stephane Charette 05:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MeiLing.JPG)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:MeiLing.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 15:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:PS2FightingForceCover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PS2FightingForceCover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 14:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
