Apple Inc

Hey Joshuagross, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking re dates on Apple Inc. I formatted them per MOS so that they display as selected by readers who set their preferences. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 03:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Keeper

edit

It was a joke; Keeper was making fun of me elsewhere for spelling administrator wrong. --barneca (talk) 19:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

No worries, people like me aren't helping you too much. Cheers. --barneca (talk) 19:56, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
thanks for keeping an eye out on my user page. Barneca was messing with me, no harm done. Thanks for being vigilant. Also, I'm very impressed (seriously!) that you thought to ask Barneca before blindly reverting. That's a sign of an excellent vandalism patroller, I only wish everyone went that extra step. Keep up the good work! Keeper ǀ 76 19:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
The problem is, most vandalism patrollers haven't been here as long as Joshua has; he's been here longer than me, and (I think) longer than you, Keep. He knows where his towel is. --barneca (talk) 20:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, just looked. New to vandie-patrol (as you said on my talkpage), but definitely not new to Wikipedia. Anywho, glad yer here, and all that. Oh, and 42. Keeper ǀ 76 20:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks

Thanks for your advice/suggestion. I'm new to wikipedia and trying to figure it out, but i'm not so good with technical speak :)Mebe86 (talk) 21:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Vandalized user page

edit

Hello how are you, Thank you very much for reverting the vandalism on my user page by 128.135.181.213. I was using Huggle last night and kept reverting his/her vandalism on the Adam Schefter article. The user seems to be a bit obsessed with using the word gay and gay porn unnecessarily. So yeah once again thank you.--Theoneintraining (talk) 00:44, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re:82.167.28.36

edit

Thanks for letting me know, but I'm not an administrator (yet), so I cannot block him. Have you reported him to WP:AIV? LaPianista! «talk» 02:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yeah..

edit

I didn't vadalize User:Snoopzta's page, he wanted that there and asked me for it. Sorry to sound rude, bu for your own good, keep your nose out of my business. :) ♣ Makaveli ♣ 01:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

There was an edit war, but he got blocked from editing before he could do his user page. So he asked me to do it for him.. Not spam. Sorry if I sounded rude.♣ Makaveli ♣ 19:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

File permission problem with File:Rockcityfatmanssqueeze.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Rockcityfatmanssqueeze.jpg, which you've attributed to Mr. Gollubkse's daughter. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
