Image Tagging Image:ViewTouch.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ViewTouch.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Michael 07:42, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's my work. I created it decades ago; I thought the image was appropriate. GeneMosher 03:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

French Fries

For your information, I reverted an edit that you made to the John Roberts article concerning the schoolgirl who was arrested for eating a french fry on the Washington D.C. Metro. I don't read where she was invited to incriminate against herself for using or possessing illegal drugs. (Ted 23:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

You're a little too lazy for me. Search Google for "Ansche Hedgepeth Drugs" and you'll find the report in the Washington Post. The police asked her if she had any drugs in her possession. There was no evidence that she did. They searched her and her backpack. They didn't find any drugs. To me it is clear that they asked her to incriminate herself. She couldn't actually do it because she wasn't guilty but that didn't stop the police from asking her if she was guilty of possession. GeneMosher 07:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see you reverted it back, using a different wording this time. When I first made the edit, I was reading John Robert's opinion on the case, and saw that he didn't make any reference to any invitations to incriminate. It would've helped if you posted a footnote and link to the Washington Post article. Anywho, sorry for being too lazy. The rewording sounds better. From what I read in the article, she was simply questioned as to whether she had any alcohol or drugs. The last few times that I've been pulled over by a law enforcement officer, they always ask that question. It is a rather intrusive question, but she can't really admit to having drugs or alcohol if she does not actually possess any drugs or alcohol. (Ted 08:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

I just want the truth. When a police officer asks if you are breaking any laws, that is an invitation for you to reject your Constitutional right to protection against incrimminating yourself. It's a very big deal to many of us that we should not have to reject our Constitutional rights as some sort of contribution to good citizenship or respect for law & order. The issue never was whether she had any drugs but rather whether her 4th & 5th Constititutional rights were violated. It is clear to me that they were, and Roberts' ruled that they weren't. I bet if it had been his kids then he would have ruled differently. GeneMosher 21:17, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interesting POV (Ted 04:19, 5 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

I'm nearly three times your age, Ted, and it would be fair to you to admit that I've been on the receiving end of several experiences where my Constitutional rights were not acknowledged by the government, the very institution which should have been respecting them. It's important for each of us to be able to understand what is right and to do what is right because the only goodness, beauty, fairness and justice that we will each have in life is that which we each strive to create daily. Such things do not exist in the air around us, but only in our hearts & minds. For me, Wikipedia is a part of the difference I try to make. GeneMosher 03:58, 6 October 2005 (UTC) PS. you'll find me in Wikipedia.[reply]

Thanks for you addition to the sleep article. I deleted the original comment because it was not referenced properly. Thank you for adding the reference. I added an addition in text citation..and referenced that citation in the References section. This page was previously nominated for a featured article, it was removed from that nomination because users were adding information without backing it up with a proper reference. The link between sleep and obesity, and the effects of sleep deprivation on insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction is an important one. You seem like the right person to create a sub-article on that issue. It would be a worthy addition.

Image copyright problem with Image:ViewTouch.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ViewTouch.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Admrboltz (T | C) 21:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Oocl shenzen.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Oocl shenzen.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Ariel Weinmann & the unknown source

The unknown source isn't being cited, but WAVY-10. For the record, mostly likely the person who told the telvision channel details about Weinmann was a Navy person(s) and the anotymity is to protect that person's career. Cheers V. Joe 00:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Michael Militello, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DarkAudit 19:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sleep

Hi, I wanted to let you know why I'm reverting your last two edits. First, people can keep awake by an effort of will. Second, it is quite possible that the main function of sleep is non-metabolic. I'll be happy to discuss these things on the talk page of the article if you want to raise them there. Finally, looking through your contribs I notice that you alost never use edit summaries. That's a really bad habit: it indicates an editor who has no interest in cooperating with other people. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 17:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
