User talk:Randolph

Welcome!

Hi Randolph, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Liberal Christianity

No problem, I don't mind having a couple of little words changed.  :)

Cool, thanks. :) --Randolph 05:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Søren Kierkegaard

While I'm totally fine with my edits being changed, your revert has done nothing to clarify the issue either. The facts are: Nietzsche was not an existentialist, both existentialism and Nietzsche's philosophies are atheistic, and Kierkegaard stands opposite those philosophies in different ways. My edit addressed the first issue, and I tried to leave the other two intact. Your revert ignores the first issue and muddles the last, and in your edit description you give future editors nothing much to work with. How do you think that we could get the issue of Nietzsche and existentialism fixed without "confusing the issue"? -Seth Mahoney 19:21, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

I'd be happy to take up this discussion on the relevant talk page. Have you posted this message there? --Randolph 19:23, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sharyn Clough VFD

Hey, Randolph... I've rewritten the article on Sharyn_clough, and I'm wondering if you'd consider taking a look at the rewrite and reconsidering your vote for deletion. Best wishes, --Jacobw 15:26, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I've revisited the article and posted comments in the relevant vfd section. I'm still not moved to change my vote at this point. --Randolph 16:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

The History of Queensland article has finally become the current Australian Collaboration. As you voted for it, you might like to visit and improve the article as you see fit. Thanks --Scott Davis ^Talk 14:52, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Randolph

I have noted your fine work on Gold Coast suburbs. You must be a local.

I have initiated some discussion on the Surfers Paradise article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Surfers_Paradise%2C_Queensland Maybe you might care to comment. Gerard... --WikiCats 09:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I live in Southport, so I would like to do some more work on that page. Gerard... --WikiCats 07:04, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Graham kennedy.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Graham kennedy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:G kennedy and b newton.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:G kennedy and b newton.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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 06:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vladimir Kush

The article Vladimir Kush has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No explanation of notability; references on web all seem to be self-promotional sites.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Tim Pierce (talk) 20:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
