What was the reason for the color change? I was a little confused as to what "previous color was for another purpose" meant. Not too big of a deal, it will just get a little tedious changing the other drafts to said header colors and dimensions. --Wizardman 14:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Rmhermen! These templates were designed to contain a list of chemical warfare agents, but I see that you added a handful of precursors used in binary munitions. I'm not certain that this is the best approach, because binary agents differ from unary agents only in the manner and timing of the final step of their synthesis. I'm rolling back the changes for now, but if you feel strongly about them I'm more than happy to talk about them. Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 04:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Your bot just removed Thomas Jefferson from the list of founding fathers of the United States. Completely removed - not just the image but even mention of his name from the page. And this for a supposed unsorced image that is already listed as present on Commons! And which is hundreds of years old. Please revert the rest of the removals of Image:Thomas Jefferson rev.jpg. Please be more careful. Rmhermen 15:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I am guessing that you are talking about the Brachycephalidae and Ascaphidae photos. I just added the Brachycephalidae, I had previously thought it was fair use, and I don't want to use them, but it is not. I have also found a tailed frog on Flickr, and am currently trying to get the identification confirmed by User:Pstevendactylus (he is semi-active, it may take some time). It is a much better photo, and is under Creative Commons 2.0. Thanks --liquidGhoul 00:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I am sure that the polar bear is not that big. A typical adult male ranges from 345 - 545kg, not 400 -600 kg, this is a bit inflated. Many reliable sources, inclduing WWF, and the new encyclopaedia of mammal agree with this.
Thanks for adding the cite! I'm working my way through the Parkman biography, which was recommended to me by a local historian as an oldie but goodie. I'll add cites for info as I go and will mark those that I can't find.
Ironically, I'm looking at La Salle to fatten up the articles on Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes and his son, François-Marie Bissot, the Sieur de Vincennes. So far, not a peep! 8-) --CTSWyneken 14:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks! I saw you were tweaking it a bit. If you get a chance to drop by the La Salle article, see what you think. It's a good distraction from the more controversial pages I work on. --CTSWyneken 02:53, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't able to figure out what you meant by the message on my talk page, but since you referenced a date preference process I'm unfamiliar with, it sounds like I have something to learn! Any chance you could point me in the direction of what it is you were referring to? I thought that linking to years, especially in the references, was discouraged! InvictaHOG 16:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I am aware of that photo. I have found a Creative Commons photo on commons of a tailed frog. It is much higher resolution, and I will be using it once I can get confirmation that it is a tailed frog. --liquidGhoul 05:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
This passage is straight-forward work (Good Job!)--70.114.205.215 17:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC):
In the 20th century, among white ethnic groups, it was popular to claim descent from an "American Indian princess", often a Cherokee. The prototypical "American Indian princess" was Pocahontas, and, in fact, descent from her is a frequent claim. However, the American Indian princess is a false concept, derived from the application of European concepts to Indians, as also seen in the naming of war chiefs as "kings".[3][4] [5] Descent from "Indian braves" is rarely claimed, in line with the racial prejudice that led to the fears of black men involved with white women.
This "safe" descent from Native Americans was seen as fashionable not only among whites claiming prestigious colonial descent but also among whites seeking to claim connection to groups with distinct folkways that would differentiate them from the mass culture. Large influxes of recent immigrants with unique social customs may have been partially an object of envy. Among Latinos and African-Americans, the desire to be un-black was sometimes expressed in claims of Native American descent.[6] Those passing as white might use the slightly more acceptable Native American ancestry to explain inconvenient details. In the PBS program "African American Lives", Oprah Winfrey described childhood taunting where being Indian was preferable to being all black. Genetic tests done for the program showed that she and Chris Tucker both probably had Native American ancestors.
I was curious as to what prompted the NPOV tagging of this article. If anything I would have thought it was still too short to have a point of view. —MJBurrage 06:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I had meant that the main (first) section was too short to have a POV. The two sections I made significant contributions to were:

Hello Rmhermen the biography of Larrain is not of Sacven, see it is not the same, there is no copyright violation, thanks.
Can you put it normally, because now is it in discussion, and you check that there is no copyright violation.
the photos that i put has are of public domain, there is no violation, please put it normallym, some of this photos i took it with a digital camera, a scanner, and many things. Unless you took the original picture of the subject or created the original version of the artwork, you do not own the copyright and cannot release it into the public domain. The fact that you copied someone esle's work whether with a camera or a scanner does not give you any rights to it. It is still a copyright violation. And Venezuela is a party to the major international copyright treaties. Rmhermen 00:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
But i check and this photos are of public domain
why you want to do this to the venezuelan culture, i can prove that this images are of public domain, in Venezuela, Usa, China..., why you do that, are you tryng to destroy the venezuelan musical culture, and please can you check the Larrain article.
how i can prove that this images are of public domain in Venezuela?
Hello, i am proving the public domain of the images that i published, like the José Ángel Lamas painting, the venezuelan waltz picture, and now i am in this work, proving and proving. Thanks
The photos of the venezuelan symphony orchestra, are historic photos, the Cheo Hurtado photo, i took it by myself, please put it it normally
i prove it in the venezuelan waltz, parranda, venezuelan work songs
the meber of the Venezuela Symphony orchestra need this:
Low res and historic person ((bookcover)) ((HistoricPhoto)) ((NoRightsReserved)) because all that photos are from the same book, are historic photos, and there are no rights reserved. Thaks.
I tried to use these in wikipedia not wikimedia and they didn't show up, a speedy deletion notice took their place = explination?? WayneRay 23:57, 8 June 2006 (UTC)WayneRay
conversation above ours
*((NoRightsReserved)) I tried to put these on my User Page for reference and they didnt show up or work like the above, that's what I meant WayneRay 18:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)WayneRay
now, im putting that this image are historic, and i explaining the provider, i erase the public domain tag.
Now i think that is right, what do you say.
Now im Proving it, did you check
I prove that i can use this images, the image of the venezuelan waltz, has more than a 100 years and is not in the world wide web, and the others i prove that i can use them.
Lots of bad stuff going down that an editor like me doesn't know how to deal with... User:201.208.126.185 and User:GJRFMorelligu are, quite obviously, the same person. Not sure if that's a violation of wikipedia in and of itself, since he's using 2 names to carry out his major and far reaching edits. All of the edits he's made are on images he's uploaded (using his username), and then he's edited them using his IP address.
Dunno if it's time for a Checkuser to be sure, or what.

Thanks for commenting on the Pando (Quaking Aspen) article. We are currently trying to have it achieve featured article status. Any input on its peer review would be helpful. Thank you again. Globeism 16:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, that clears up the mystery of where it came from. I'm guessing that, even if it's true, it was put into the EB article more as a "weirdest thing that could conceivably be used to produce a plant oil" factlet; not unlike the statement in List of vegetable oils "Although few plants are entirely without oil...". So, even if it's technically possible to get oil from fusarium (and nobody else seems to care enough to even mention the fact), it seems likely that nobody - or close enough to nobody - actually does.

Hi, I reverted the change you made to the title. I will explain you why. The pre-inca culture that is described in it, is known in my country (Peru) as the Mochica Culture. Part of this culture was developed in Moche (a town that is located in the highlands of the Department of La Libertad). If you leave this article by that name, then readers will be confused, because they won't know if it is talking about the pre inca culture or the town that exists up to nowadays. I hope this explanation might help you to understand my change. Thanks. --Evelyn Zuñiga 23:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry. But I don't think you are quite right. Not because it's known under that name means that is correct. And if you are based in how many articles you found with that name or with the other in "Google", well I think your argument is not well soported either. I'm not changing the title again because I don't want you to think I'm rude or mean. But as a Peruvian, and as a Translator, I can tell you that you are clearly making a mistake in interpreting more than translation, because they might be similar words that have a common historic origin (even a linguistic one) but in meaning they do not. --Evelyn Zuñiga 20:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello I was the one that changed the rankings for total area I have these two state government sources for each...
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/hal_lm_MiB_156795_7.pdf
http://eadiv.state.wy.us/demog_data/cntyhus_hist.htm
http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9111259
97,990 is greater then 97,818 so shouldn't Michigan then be ranked 11th in overall area?
I know it is miniscule but I'm all about accuracy and I have the sources to back up my edit. Is there another credible source stating otherwise?
Thanks!
Reinstating the clause I removed at Milk about humans being the only animals to consume the milk of other species, on the grounds that wild cats do not consume cow's milk, strikes me as implying that domestic cats are human, which it seems to me would require some sort of verification. In removing the clause I was not indicating that domestic cats should drink cow's milk, but it is patently obvious that they often do so.
BTW, anent wild cats, do you have any evidence that they are averse to it, or is it simply a matter of their being technologically deficient?--Haruo 20:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is an island. Even though I deleted "island" I never implied that it wasn't an island. Most people think of it as an island, it is true. However, it is also one of the three constituent districts of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In this sense it can be compared to "county" in the rest of the United States.
