User talk:Richardsur

Hello Richardsur, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
You can find lots more information, including open tasks and daily tips, at the community portal.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp as well.
Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show preview button to review your edits. Also, consider writing a summary for each edit.

Again, welcome! Chris Roy 04:56, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Where to put TV station articles[edit]

According to Radiojon, it is better to put articles for TV stations at articles such as WCMH-TV, not WCMH. 66.32.136.74 00:10, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Technically, that suggestion is incorrect in many cases. It just so happens that WCMH is licensed as WCMH-TV (although I was unaware of any other WCMHs), so your suggestion is valid, but many TV stations do not use a -TV suffix. I posted a note on Radiojon's talk page explaining the use of call signs. Richardsur 16:19, 4 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Columbus area radio stations[edit]

You made a mistake in accusing me of renaming Cols-area FM stations—I've done no such thing. Perhaps you read the history of an article wrong and meant to msg someone else. All I have done is categorize them under Category:Radio stations in Columbus, Ohio. Postdlf 14:30, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm sorry that I've blamed you for something you didn't do. I looked at the page history, saw the last edit was by you and assumed (incorrectly) that you were the one moving the articles. Now I need to figure out who is moving them..... --Richardsur 22:13, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

TV station articles[edit]

I only moved television articles, specifically the Atlanta articles. I have explained my reasoning on Radiojon's talk page. I feel insulted that you are insinuating that I am not doing this in the best interests of Wikipedia. I do not have an "agenda" and even if I did, I wouldn't be channeling my agenda through something as small as TV station articles. Mike H 22:57, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing[edit]

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)

Holy shit, someone else who not only remembers Mega-Bug, but started an entry for it, and provided a screenshot! This is fucking incredible.DS 22:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Fizzbin[edit]

I've nominated Fizzbin, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Fizzbin satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fizzbin and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Fizzbin during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. --EEMeltonIV 04:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Richardsur! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 941 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Non-free rationale for File:Mega-Bug-Game.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mega-Bug-Game.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2012 (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.

Proposed deletion of Runnymede Corp.[edit]

The article Runnymede Corp. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject does not meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
