Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. I redirected Nations of Europe to Europe because everything that you wrote was already there. RickK 00:36, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

Your image
Thanks for uploading Image:SixthBuilding.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 01:55, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)
Football (soccer) stubs
I created a new stub footy-stub for association football (soccer) related stubs, I figure there are a lot of fans out there who might be interested in working on football related articles but don't have the time or patience to wade through the list of regular stub or bio-stub article titles. I hope you will help me populate this new stub category when you find suitable articles. Bob Palin 02:04, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'd like your opinion at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. Thanks. Chameleon 12:10, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Economy of Europe
Sorry, but I can't support this for Collaboration of the Week right now. Part of the reason is that I'm less involved with CotW recently in general, working on other things. But the larger reason in this case, is that preparatory work backfires with CotW. The stated purpose of the project is to improve stubs or make articles on topics that don't have articles.
You might want to try one of the following: a Wikiproject, a CotW or Regional Notice Board for Europe, Requests for Expansion, or the new Forum for Encyclopedic Standards. Maurreen 01:17, 21 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 1000 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:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
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:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)

People Call Kingsmeadow Kingsmeadow!!
If you've observed their chat boards as closely as I have,you should know that AFC Wimbledon fans,let along Kingstonian fans,refer to The Fans' Stadium - Kingsmeadow predominantly as Kingsmeadow,or KM for short.The adoption of "The Fans' Stadium" as a slogan for the fundraising drive and description of how they want it to serve all supporters has not changed common usage and never seems likely to do so.So I've expanded the article at the full title and reversed your "fix" of a link.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 22:08, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Saw your reply at my talk page.Most important perhaps is that "The Fans' Stadium",full-stop,is not and never has been the formal name of the ground.I thought the hyphen was official but the person who moved the article to The Fans' Stadium, Kingsmeadow says it's a comma.As for Valley Parade,I would oppose moving its article to the Bradford & Bingley naming rights name for the same reason the Isthmian League,Southern Football League,Northern Premier League,and other such English football entities are covered in Wikipedia by their underlying names by which their entire histories can be covered...they do not become brand-new entities when they sign up a new sponsor.To treat "sponsored names" with undue respect is in effect to give the sponsors free advertising in Wikipedia.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 04:20, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- New reply noted.I never follow Wikipedia policies I regard as bad,and one doesn't change such policies by working in accordance with them,only by agitating against them (in whatever talk channels) or by making them unworkable.I can name at least one stadium article that doesn't follow this policy and which you are apparently unaware of,but I'm not going to identify it to any apologist for the policy.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 18:10, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Sasso and stuff
Good job on the expansion. I sometimes wonder why people write these single sentence "articles". But good save. Anyway, if I came across two of your articles in a 30+ article random search then either you've written a hell of a lot or it was quite a coincidence. I guess since they were both football articles it was at least something of a coincidence. I've only come across one of my articles in a random search ever. And out of nearly half a million I thought that was unlikely too. Anyway, yeah, leaving a stub tag on after an article has undergone slow expansion isn't what annoys me. It's more people who can't tell the difference, or, worse, people who label every short article they see with a stub tag. -R. fiend 19:36, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Unverified image
Thanks for uploading the image
I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Kbh3rd&action=edit) where you got the image and I'll tag it for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 02:42, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

In the news
When you edited the in the news template, it got very screwed up. I'm not quite sure what's wrong, so you may want to take a look at it again. Cheers. CryptoDerk 01:10, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
- I don't have any problem with it being listed there, it's just that it screwed up the box. The Belize image is on top of some text and the text for the Belize part is written straight down in a line. I've confirmed that other people are seeing this as well. I am going to try to fix it, but you may want to give it a go as well. CryptoDerk 01:15, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
- OK, whew, figured it out I believe. The div stuff was opened/closed at the wrong places, and the image wasn't right aligned. Should look OK now! Thanks for the addition, too. CryptoDerk 01:22, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Although I fixed the box so that it looks right, I just noticed that someone removed the link because the description of it wasn't formatted properly. Amongst other things it wasn't bolded. There are additional criteria here Template_talk:In_the_news. CryptoDerk 02:26, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary
That was a major slip-up on my part - Sorry about that. It should have said "move meta tag to talk page ; it has no meaning on third party mirrors and is meta info ; that is what talk pages are for; replaced with HTML comment". --mav 03:11, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
You've put up a copyright image
I notice your image of the New Forest is actually from BBC Online (http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40322000/gif/_40322389_hamp_new_forest_map203.gif). Best to delete it I'd suggest, unless you really do have their permission. There is already a graphic which is essentially identical on the New Forest page, so it won't really compromise the article. Nice graphic, though! Naturenet 19:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Gentlemen's Clubs
Hi: I am not sure why you moved Gentlemen's club to Gentlemans' club so I thought that I should explain why I chose that title for the article. The London clubs to which I have belonged have all called their former incarnations "Gentlemen's clubs". Similarly, the equivalent private clubs for women called themselves "Ladies' clubs" (cf the New Cavendish Club]. A quick check of the various forms on Google shows a fairly even spread between the two phrases but I have not analysed the associations of this name: for example, I know that various strip joints call themselves "Gentleman's clubs". Anthony Lejeune, who wrote a definitive book on the subject, called them gentlemen's clubs.
Either way, "Gentlemans' club" is grammatically incorrect. Please may I revert to the "Gentlemen's clubs" title and restore the various links to that name?
What is your interest in the subject? I am planning to contribute articles in this area so we may be able to collaborate.--Theo (Talk) 19:39, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I spent the entire afternoon fixing those links so I now feel a warm glow of achievement. Just two more names for WCOTW! --Theo (Talk) 18:43, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Images on PUI
Please don't remove images from PUI until such time as they can be checked as good by someone else. You can remove the tags from the image itself, just not from the page. This allows those who move and check the images to make certain that everything is good.
The reason I say this, is that your tagging of Image:E8 route map.png and Image:E2 route map.png is incomplete and inaccurate. To tag them as CopyrightedFreeUse-User, add {{CopyrightedFreeUse-User|Grunners}}. Thanks Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 10:03, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
