This is an archive of entries on my Talk Page from when I started on Wikipedia (January 2005) until December 2006. Please don't edit it.

ooops, no-one even responded to this, so *I* will! Well, that's a good idea, but the problem is the legality of us hosting the information. Beyond linking to the Internet Archive's backups, I really don't know that we can go making copies of something without nasty problems, or at least having to set up a complex legality reasoning page like the Archive has.
The easiest option would be to create a screenshot compilation (say 800x1600) of what the entire page showed and host it off of WP itself. That way the questionable fair use of such a capture would be in the hands of the provider. Or... something... one current idea for Wikiversity is that linked-to sites be archived by WV itself, so I guess when they get their proposal ironed out we could mimic it.

Hi Jim it's Joanna here, just leaving a message on your talk page! --Kevinjoanna 17:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Wow, thanks for your nice comments James. Like you I have often found that people take 1984 to be an anti-communist novel and when I try to explain that it is about all totalitarianism they find it difficult to believe, as the misinterpretation seems to have become accepted knowledge.
Similarly many people seem to think that Animal Farm is anti-communist, when plainly Orwell has deep sympathies for the animals and animalism. He was still a socialist, the novel was purely a warning about those who would usurp the revolution for their own gains.
Do you have anything of your work on the public perception of 1984 that I might read? - Luca's Ade
Thanks for experimenting with the page Sigmund Freud on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Jkelly 00:11, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the support about the warning and image free page on Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. It seems at least one other person has a little sense. Thanks. Chuck 02:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Thornfield Properties has been proposed for deletion. Please see WP:CORP for the relevant guidelines. NickelShoe 21:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you liked my suggestion! It was an idea I had at the moment... Sorry for the late answer! Fetofs Hello! 00:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for coming back, I tend to suggest that the most desired novel articles are loaded into the worklist. If we put "too" many the efforts of everyone will be diluted and nothing will get done. If you see my point. By all means add them by just bear that in mind. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

If you do a diff you can see what I wrote :) Basically the first four competitions in the columns are all league competitions and the Taca de Prata evolved from the RSPS. I think a note should also be left saying something along the lines of: "Santos did play other competitive games during this period, for example the Taça dos Campeões Estaduais [1], the 1968 Campeonato Nacional [2] and the Intercontinental Cup [3]. However it can be extremely difficult to quantify which were truely competitive, and which were merely friendly tournaments.. blah..."
It might be an idea to add an "Others" column to the end to stick a few of these results into, and which can be added to upon new infomation. The Intercontinental Cup should definitely be recognised. Admittedly it's probably only a handful of games, but still. aLii 10:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jim! I got the Rivelino information from the Corinthians Almanac(an actual book). His club did not play international games at the time, so my mission was easier. I got the information for Fluminense from hthe club website; and the international games from the RSSF Brasil.
There was not a proper Brazilian league until 71, so it is generally accepted that the "Rio Sao Paulo" and "Copa Brasil" are considered as domestic leagues. Besides that, the regional championship (Paulista for Corinthians, Carioca for Fluminense) are played officialy in the beginning of the year). I do not see any problem in using the same criteria for Pelé.
Good luck!!

Wow. You are evil, making the 666th edit. If wikipedia is a credible source, Ronald Regan was also evil, because his house number was originally 666. Rintrah 15:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Did you revert my change to the Pele article because you thought I had restored the copvio picture? I didn't restore the copyvio picture, I restored an older picture than used to be on the page. Granted, this second picture is the subject of unknown provenance but it is not copyvio as far as I know. Could you restore my edit if you were mistaken? If you weren't, and were removing my edit as per policy (perhaps because the picture's dubious provenance means it cannot be in the article), then please accept my apologies. --Jim (Talk) 20:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I've redirected the article you started on Burns Stanza to Habbie stanza as they are the same thing. I've merged some information in from your article, but I am not familiar with Scottish poetry so you may want to check the whole thing over and do some additional edits. Cheers! -- Whpq 13:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, what I wrote about ATM was true, why did you edit it?
Your "right" reversal doesn't include several previous parts of the article (before ABBA, before Eurovision). There's also a part about Beatles (???) in the Introduction...

I've semi-protected the Craig-Morgan page, which should keep the roving-IPs in line. Bucketsofg✐ 02:49, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. Please read what I wrote at User talk:Sango123#Reply; it seems you've been hit with an autoblock. Please contact me with the IP or username reported in your block message, and I'll override it, as I've done with several others today. Thanks, Sango123 01:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

You could try Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser. I've never used it, but it is popular. Thanks for taking this on, by the way. I doubt that it will be a lot of fun, but I suspect that it will turn out to be quite useful (assuming that we hit a point when we need to get some coordinated watching of these pages done, which I strongly suspect will be the case).
