Dawn

Hi. :-) Just to let you know I have found and responded to the issues you raised on the talk page of the Dawn article, and have removed the section of text in question.

If anyone does think that this point should be put back (hopefully with a better context, unless I am misinterpreting the intended reference), then they can replace it. More info is on the article's talk page. :-)

Thanks. Leevclarke 02:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clabbered

FYI, although I removed that section from Guacamole, clabbered is an actual word. It means "curdled", being derived from the curdled milk dish known as clabber. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben James Ben (talk • contribs) 03:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Guacamole, you re-added the sentence "In New Zealand and other areas of the Oceania Pacific, guacamole is often combined with beaten egg whites creating a clabbered texture and has become an increasingly popular serving with spaghetti." I removed it from the article because I suspect that it was vandalism. Are you saying that the statement is actually true? --Ben James Ben 13:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I reverted your edit to Guacamole, the one where you re-added text that I previously identified as vandalism. Please see the Talk page for details. I just felt that intentionally leaving vandalism in the article was not the best course of action. --Ben James Ben 03:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikifacist

Thanks, but even though I tried adding it, it only took about 5 minutes, and then it got deleted once again, and I got a warning by some jerk, that I'd be blocked if I added it again.. But this is a good entry though: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wikifascist

And this one is too: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=deletist KnatLouie 10:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't know how to report a deletist. But even if I did know, I'm sure my requests would be ignored because I'm not an administrator of this site (ie. I have a life ;). KnatLouie (talk • contribs) 13:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Best of Luck

I read your user page and just want to tell you I support what you're trying to accomplish here. It is frustrating to come up against the people who delete based on the "Because I'VE never heard of it" principal. I'm not familiar with everyone on the list you posted, but I am with some of them. And all that tells me is you're a better source for that information than I am. Keep up the good work. J. Van Meter (talk) 15:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mother (Improv)

A tag has been placed on Mother (Improv), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Mother (Improv) 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 18:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take that! The Mother (Improv) article remains! Score one for the good guys (and just about infinity for the deletists). --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 14:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Black-and-tan spoon.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Black-and-tan spoon.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:20, 4 November 2015 (UTC). 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. Stefan2 (talk) 19:20, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
