Woodbridge

Tracker, what is your source for that image flip? Pepso2 (talk) 12:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Woodbridge's son, Curtis, with whom I regularly correspond. Trackerseal (talk) 02:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I get it. Pepso2 (talk) 18:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since that is the case, what about acquiring and uploading GW's beautiful color Zoave uniform? That used to be somewhere on a website but has since vanished. The Boxer Rebellion was my second choice. All other uniform pix I found were too small. Pepso2 (talk) 18:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pepso2 -- Thanks for reformatting the page. FWIW, Curtis advised me that the Bacon drawing appeared in Swords & Blades of the American Revolution, by George C. Neumann, published in 1973 (now out of print). Curtis does not own a copy and hence cannot cite the page, but he is absolutely certain of the drawing's orientation and I have no reason to doubt him. Regarding the color Zoave uniform, I will ask him if he has the image. Trackerseal (talk) 21:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:GWbacon2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GWbacon2.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. BJBot (talk) 12:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Image:GWbacon.jpg)

You've uploaded Image:Image:GWbacon.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Sowell

Tou should remember that no Wikipedian owns any article; and that there are express limits to how often any editor can revert to his own point of view. They will be enforced.

When Sowell merely makes a fool of himself, that may stand without comment; when he botches a quotation, or misstates a clear and consensus fact, we are not merely permitted, but required, to explain the context - otherwise the point of making the quotation at all will be lost; his article is not a private blog for his fans. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel the quote is inaccurate, then delete the quote. A wiki page should consist of objective info about the subject, including direct quotations by the subject, not editorial perspective about the subject or his/her views.Trackerseal (talk) 04:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that the quotes are unsourced; see WP:V. We have no proof that Sowell said any of these things; for some of them Wikiquote doesn't either.

For the dishonest quotation of Shaw, whether it is Sowell's or not, the true quotation is a mandatory corrective, in common honesty.

And in any case, there is a limit to the number of times you can insist on your own way. You have reached it. If you still feel unsatisfied, please suggest something new. If you can't think of anything, please consider the steps under WP:Dispute resolution. Either way, do stop reverting. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of James Golden (radio personality)

A tag has been placed on James Golden (radio personality) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Chowder deletion

Hi Track! Thanks for your good work at Star Parker. Thanks to your and the other editors' efforts I'm confident we'll have her back in mainspace soon. I have news for you. I've requested here that Chowder be restored to the Icubator WP:RIGHT/I. We'll all be able to work on this article and once it passes notability move it to to mainspace. – Lionel ^(talk) 00:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure re: Parker. Surely a typo, but it's CROWDER, not Chowder. The man deserves a main page. I contributed a lot to the original entry. Trackerseal (talk) 02:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crowder has been restored here: WP:WikiProject_Conservatism/Incubator/Steven_Crowder. Feed free to ask the members of WP:WikiProject Conservatism to help out getting it into shape here: WT:RIGHT. – Lionel ^(talk) 06:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for working to keep Crowder's page up in the past. They tried to get it deleted again, but there was no consensus to do so. However, there is a discussion going on his current talk page that might interest you. :) JohnKAndersen (talk) 06:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)JohnKAndersen[reply]

Hey Trackerseal. me again! Well, good job defending keeping Steven Crowder's page from getting deleted. The user who tried to get it deleted TWICE for not being "notable" enough, decided to completely rewrite it in a negative POV instead. I guess Crowder is notable now because he didn't get his way? Determined! I have reverted it to the neutral consensus, maybe you can take a look at the talk page and see what you think? Thanks! JohnKAndersen (talk) 08:25, 9 July 2013 (UTC)JohnKAndersen[reply]

Just got yr 9 July msg. Haven't checked Crowder's page in a while. Wanted to let the dust settle before wading back in. Hope the page has been "neutralized" (meaning, opinions omitted) in the meanwhile. I've got it flagged for followup at some point. Trackerseal (talk) 13:19, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Unwed Mother (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Allied Artists (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Steven Crowder

Hello, I've been struggling with keeping Steven's current page up and accurate since its inception. I regret I missed the last attempt to try to keep it from deletion due to an illness. Now there has been a new development in his legal case, and some are trying to suppress the fact that the elected democratic prosecutor is endorsed and financed by the very same union that Steven was suing. I think this is important context, and it now is a topic in the talk page on Steven's article. I'd appreciate if you have any opinion about this to share it. It seems I'm always out-numbered because people dislike his politics and can't be objective with just facts. I don't accuse anyone of conflict of interest, just state the facts (and the sources,of course). If you can take a look at it, and possibly know anyone else who might be interested in keeping things balanced, I'd appreciate it! Thanks, JohnKAndersen (talk) 05:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)JohnKAndersen[reply]

I will check Crowder's page shortly. It has been very frustrating trying to keep it accurate and objective. I greatly appreciate your concerns and efforts, and thank you for alerting me to the current situation. You're a mensch. Trackerseal (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
