User talk:Khym Chanur

Hello Khym, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. There is a sandbox which you can use to experiment in. If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted. Angela 00:21, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I think I've done what you were asking on the village pump. Fushigi Yuugi is now just a redirect to Fushigi Yuugi and the temp pages don't exist. Was that right? Angela 02:52, Nov 9, 2003 (UTC)

Votes for Deletion

Something like Cross-examination debate did not need to be placed on Votes for Deletion. People with admin status here can immediately delete articles that have no meaningful content. Keep up the good work :) Kingturtle 03:11, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)

SpamAssassin

I noticed you listed yourself as a SpamAssassin coder on your user page. Do you go by a different name in the project? I'm one of the main developers, so it's odd that I don't recognize your name. Daniel Quinlan 17:25, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)

looking for an administrator - I think

Hello Khym:

I'm looking for someone to sort out a little mess that i made and I picked you. I always trust foks who have a K in their name.

I created a page named "Parducci"

and then recreated it as "Corrado Parducci" It now exists as both. "Parducci" should go.

thanks

Evangelion intro

Hi, thanks for the input - it was very helpful. I considered your reply and modified the proposal; I'm happier with the current result. I also removed your comment and thought it polite to notify you about the fact. See this page for well-reasoned explanation for the removal/edit. -- Card 15:16, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Please, that wasn't necessary

Please don't bait User:Sollog. Thanks. - Ta bu shi da yu 01:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yah, I know. But I'd not risk it. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:59, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Opiates

I see that in March 2004 you redirected MPTP to Fentanyl. I can't find anything on the web to indicate that they're the same thing, and some sources say they're different drugs. For example:

Can i have your blessing to remove the redirect and start a MPTP article? Or is there something i'm missing here?

Thanks, --foobaz·✐ 06:05, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A request

In your article Host desecration, you list two references but no page numbers. Many of us at Wikipedia believe that citing individual pages makes for a better encyclopedia, and since you know the two works that you cited, would you mind doing this? I thank you for your contribution here -- please keep up the excellent work, for Wikipedia thrives due to contributions such as your own. --Zantastik 09:08, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Hoihoi-san.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hoihoi-san.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 17:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:29, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Westernesse

The article Westernesse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Delete or merge with "King Horn" article if sufficiently notable

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:EvaUnit02Still.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:EvaUnit02Still.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
