User talk:Matt me/angry

Thanks

Hi Matt. Thank you for your kind comments on my Talk page. I was quite moved by what you said and yes, the SMS thing is rather nice, in that this tiny fragment still exists in what is now a large and quite nice article. That that particular wording survives is both nice and a little surprising: one of the (many) reasons I gave up editing Wikipedia is that I get very depressed when people trash things because they do not like the merest hint of levity, finding it unencyclopaedic. The Levity Police appear not yet to have found that one, along with a few others which for obvious reasons I will not name here. The best one is not by me and I still occasionally go and look fondly at it: a perfect expression of a concept, perfectly encyclopaedic, straight to the point, witty, and patently doomed because someone will think it is too funny or nice or something to be allowed to continue.

Apart from that, I'm most grateful for your kind thoughts but I must say it is unlikely that I will ever be back, for a range of reasons, most of them not in any way critical of Wikipedia. I really, really, like Wikipedia and I do mean it most seriously when I wish it all success - but I have realized that it's not, in the nicest possible way, for me. Thanks again, and all the best, Nevilley 10:21, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Please use the talk pages for articles and images to discuss them or to ask questions, rather than using the article or image page itself. Thanks. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 18:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Alawrence.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alawrence.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Rossrs 08:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Pythagoras, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Gscshoyru 15:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please watch your page moves, creating double redirects is not a good thing. Q ^{T C} 17:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
