No, I don't retract my actions. It has be discussed a lot before, the original firefox logo is not gpl and it's not being used ina fair use way, so it is a copyright violation. Notice also that the current image is against [1] and the arguments about "mozilla can take it with nuvola" kind won't exempt us from liability even if we don't want to believe it. -- ( drini's page☎ ) 03:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover you accuse me of not following deletion process, but discussion on talk page isn't the deletion process anyway, it's WP:IFD. And polls don't make consensus or policies. Recall official policy stating that Wikipedia is not a democracy -- ( drini's page☎ ) 03:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Though I don't mind you using my user-page layout; have you heard of the word 'originality' - Couldn't you have at least changed the colors? The original layout is from User:Jimbo Wales, but I tried to make mine a bit more original by changing it. Thanks! — Wackymacs 19:39, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the compliments. I haven't checked on them in awhile and I noticed someone made edits to the Manny article and now it's "in need of a cleanup."
I'm interested in writing more bios when I find the time. Also, I may need some help in the "season 5" section as I haven't seen much of yet (no "N" at university, ha!) - jcalderon86

Hi there, Max. I [Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Syntax_Coloring responded to your post] regarding syntax highlighting with some links to a live demonstration of my own Mediawiki extension for this purpose - thought you might be interested. Of course they're unlikely to go adding extensions to Wikipedia willy-nilly, but it shows you some of what's possible. Deco 00:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You noted a while back that the {{familytree}} template needed to be added. I'm currently doing so; you can see my work at User:CorbinSimpson/Workspace. Because of all of the incest, this will take a while, but I figured that you might appreciate knowing that someone is carrying out your request. Also, as a fellow Oregonian (from Eugene), I wanted to give appropriate salutations. Happy editing! - CorbinBe excellent 04:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I see that you enjoy doing route diagrams, and was wondering of you could help me. I recently started WP:UK Trams, and wondered if you could help me by doing routemaps of the British Tram Routes. If you would like to proceed, then please either respond on my talk page, or start making them at Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Trams/Route_Diagrams'Maps
Thanks, Bluegoblin7 08:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo(Speak) 14:42, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I just noticed your message to me. I'm not aware of a specific guideline that I was applying, although WP:R, WP:ES and WP:BOLD come to mind. Also, leave messages for whoever you would expect to be interested, like User talk:Dndn1011#Self confidence. Ah, I see he didn't like it. Oh well. - Fayenatic london(talk) 12:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think your recent edit to the BS series of tmeplates are causing them to be out of sync. Eg Potteries Loop Line which uses BS, BS3 and BS5 seams to show a minor alignment problem which would (IMHO) be consistent with a few 1px size increases. Pickle 21:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You might find that the display problem you had with these templates is affected by the font size you have set your browser to. - Try using "medium" with MSIE for example. It may be possible to change the templates use of icons to reflect the font you are using, which I am working on at present, so in the meantime, please leave the templates as they are. many thanks, Lynbarn 21:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

but "location in" doesn't make sense! and it's nowhere near grammatically correct! I don't understand? PS. you know more than I do. Is there any way of editing a different language wikipedia with my en wiki account? Coldpaws 04:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 14:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting me know, I'm honestly not sure what I did, except have some patience, I have to admire the editor's persistence, without getting too upset over the problems. (Frustration is not necessarily a bad thing, when it is constructive). Leebo was the one that helped find all the sources, lol. Ariel♥Gold 00:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
When I edit something it becomes an issue but when Buddhists here take out information then it's not considered a problem. The fact is, this entire article is extrmely bias and from a strict Pro-Buddhist point of view. It is set up to malign Hinduism as well.Everytime I add something with REFERENCE some Buddhist takes it out but leaves what they wrote intact. Do they not get a warning as well?
This article is a Buddhist view on Hinduism, NOT a comparisan of the two religions. I suggest the title be changed or else someone here is going to have to make some serious considerations beause the Buddhists here are getting away with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthseeker81 (talk • contribs) 00:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Degrassi Community School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Degrassi Community School.

International Women’s Day Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon, Sunday, March 10[edit]
The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education (OJMCHE), in partnership with social practice artist Shoshana Gugenheim and as part of the Art+Feminism Project, will host an International Women's Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to edit and/or create Wikipedia articles for Jewish women artists. The event will be held at the museum on Sunday, March 10 from 11am-3pm PDT. Pre-registration is preferred but not required. Members of the public are invited to come to the museum to learn about the editing process, its history, its impact, and how to do it. We aim to collaboratively edit/enter Jewish women artists into the canon. An experienced regional Wikipedian will provided will be on site to teach, support, and guide the process. Participants can select artists ahead of time or on site.
