Wikimeet: London 11 September
You expressed a desire on the Meetup/London page to attend the 11 September meet, but inidcated that you wouldn't know until nearer the time whether you would be able to or not. This is just a friendly reminder, nearer the time, to see whether you are likely to be attending. Thryduulf 12:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Development of History of fuel prices
Hey there Joolz, just to let you know, I have added information about the price competition between alcohol fuel and gasoline on the article. Can you check it out and tell me what you think about it? Be sure to reply on my user page, and I will reply on your user page. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 00:08, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

NPOV dispute Segregated Cycle Facilities
Hi. I've added a controversial template to the talk page of this article. I would like to find out which aspects of the article you still feel are POV or misrepresent the debate/field. --Sf 09:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey there, I haven't really looked at that article in a while but I don't think I have any problems with the article as it stands (I've removed the POV tag, if anyone disputes it I'm sure they'll just add it back!) -- Joolz 13:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks this is one of those issues that really polarises people. Have heard of people nearly coming to blows at international conferences - so I agree its likely the POV tag will reappear.  It needs a bit more input but its hard to discuss/explain the issues without digressing considerably from the main topic. Anyway have a nice weekend! --Sf 14:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

POTW
Sorry, I'm not having it. It's a lie. In the real world it would be libel. Leonig Mig 18:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations!
I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 23:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Congratulations indeed! And thanks for your support on my RfA; I was shocked by how much support it drew. -Splash 13:26, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Congratulations, and you're quite welcome! --Merovingian (t) (c) 14:22, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

 * What's the big deal? It's only a mop. ;-) Congratulations! -- BD2412 talk 19:28, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point, and it's partly your fault that I'm holding it! dammit.. ;) -- Joolz 19:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Popups tool
Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Tools. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is paste the following into User:/monobook.js: // User:Lupin/popups.js - please include this line

document.write(' ');

popupAdminLinks=true; Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin 02:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I'll give it a go :) - Joolz 12:11, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Response on your RfA comment
No problem. Normally, I do not vote on RfAs for nominees with >2000 edits. Reason; almost all RfAs for nominees with edit counts higher than that are approved. Thus, it's a fair bit of a waste of time for me to analyze nominees with larger edit counts. I did in your case because several people voted in favor of you before you even accepted and answered the questions. So, I placed a "neutral" vote to highlight that and then changed it to the obviously well warranted "support" after you accepted/answered. I'm sure you'll make a fine admin. Unanimous 31-0 decision, TKO in the 1st round :) --Durin 13:59, 9 September 2005 (UTC) (PS: If you're really bored and unusually curious, you can have a look at my admin voting measures...if you fall asleep, don't blame me :))
 * Well, thanks again :) It's good that you look at it in that much detail, I think there's been a recent trend on RFA for people to look at the number of edits and vote based mainly on that, nobody mentioned edit counts at all on mine but that's probably because of the high number. By the way... I think it was 35-0 not that it matters ;) - Joolz 15:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the two main factors people usually vote by are edit count and time since first edit. Both are rather poor measures of a nominees suitability to be an admin. Some people really investigate potential admins and vote based on other items than edit count/time on wikipedia. Most don't though. :( --Durin 18:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

New Participant on European Union Project
Greetings, Joolz! I took the liberty of placing a "Welcome to the EU project" message on the talk page of User:Jdhowens90, who had recently added his name to the list of participants on the project page. And, also, congratulations on your recent promotion to Admin status! :) LiniShu 11:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) -- Joolz 13:22, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

My gallery
Hi! Thanks for the edit on my gallery. I can't believe that that mistake got in there—my wife (who is Scottish) would have killed me if she had seen it! :-O

BTW: On the constituency WikiProject your suggestion about the historic constituencies is more what I was thinking of. Rather than expanding the /Progess sub-page, I am thinking to create a /Historic_constituencies sub-page. JeremyA (talk) 21:44, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm always glad to fix embarrassing errors like that! ;) Creating a historic constituency subpage (I'd prefer 'former' because 'historic' sounds rather glorifying for some of the more recent constituencies, not that it really matters...) is a good idea, I think it should be located as a subpage of the Progress page too though. There are a large number of former scottish constituencies where we have the 2001 results on the page of a new 2005 constituency, which needs sorting out as well. -- Joolz 11:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Award
Congrats on your adminship! I hope you don't mind receiving it. :) =Nichalp «Talk»=  11:25, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Wow, well, thanks :D I wouldn't normally be too pleased to receive a bin, but I'll make a special exception in this case ;) -- Joolz 15:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

On Aaron Laberge
I know this is not the appropriate place for this kind of query, but I can find no more information otherwise. You have added some information to a Wiki for Aaron Laberge who was a college roommate and good friend of mine. I was hoping that, if you know how to contact him, you could either give me his email address or pass mine along to him. Anyway, please contact me either way. Thanks, brianpoteat@hotmail.com

Leadership in international institutions
Hi there. You deleted Pitfalls of international institutions per its AFD a few days ago, but don't seem to have deleted Leadership in international institutions, which was listed as part of the same nomination. Could you please either delete it, or (if you feel the afd isn't applicable), let me know so I can nominate it independently? Thanks. —Cryptic (talk) 16:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right, I'm sorry, my mistake. It didn't click that they were both part of the same AFD, usually other articles are listed in the title of the AFD so I just missed it, I'll delete it now :) (well, I say now... but I'm on dialup so..) Thanks, Joolz

Castro Cult dispute
Considering the length of the discussion I've now written an abbreviation of the essence of the discussion at Talk:Cult of personality that, in my view, settles the matter. Maybe you'd like to have a look and have another say on the subject.

I've also sent this message to the other previous contributors to the discussion, Cryptnotic, TJive, Mihnea Tudoreanu and Willmc. DirkvdM 09:26, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message, unfortuantly I don't have the time right now to look into it, I will try when I can have some time, regards, Joolz 22:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, nothing has changed for you, really, because you've already seen the 'ultimate' argument. Just thought I should point this out to you. DirkvdM 09:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

UKCOTW
Oops - I knew I'd forgotten to do something. Still, I figured seeing as nobody had done much to the last article by Saturday (the last time I looked at it) then it's wouldn't harm to leave it a bit longer. -- Francs2000 21:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

New European Union collaboration
Hi Joolz, this is just a note telling you that I have created the European Union collaboration (the first collaboration is Eurobarometer). I'm looking forward to your contributions! Talrias (t | e | c) 12:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message, I'll try and contribute where I can but I've been rather busy at university recently. Good luck also on your arbcom candidacy :) -- Joolz 13:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Image favor
Hi Joolz, long time no talk. I hope you're enjoying the drinking University.;) I was wondering if you could help me with an issue. A while back, when I was even wetter behind the ears than I am now, I uploaded an image on en.wiki, not knowing about the commons. I might be using the image soon in a major article rewrite, and have uploaded a hi-res version of the image on the . I also added a more detailed caption. However, it won't express because of the local copy. Do you mind deleting the local page? It's here. Thanks ever so much! enceph  alon  18:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC) PS. I'm the only one who's ever edited the page, and also it's orphaned.
 * Sorry for the delay in responding to this, the image has been deleted :) -- Joolz 12:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I just noticed that you're studying at Sussex. I'm up the road in Lewes. Are you still contirbuting the the parliamentary stuff? I uploaded the booklet I mentioned some time ago to the Wikimedia commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Lewes_Parliament_1295-1885.pdf. Jooler 11:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah I am, my wikipedia activity has decreased a lot though, but I'll help out with the Lewes constituency as soon as I have some spare time, probably after next week. Regards, Joolz 20:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

UK geography COTM
OK, so I finally found time for some Wikipeding (after about five months of Northumberland!) and have picked Nottinghamshire for the next COTM. I've added a to do list to the talk page and have already started work adding some of the basic data. Joe D (t) 04:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC) P.S.

Hey, UK PMs
Hey Joolz, Merry Christmas, and I'm just letting you know that the List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom is now a featured list, including the timeline that we worked on back in July (ages ago!). Cheers, Talrias (t | e | c) 22:29, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Brighton Kemptown
I noticed on the Brighton Pavilion (constituency) page that you input the 1950 election results, which is not available from an online source to my knowledge. I was wondering if you still had access to that source whether you could input the 1950 election results for the neighbouring constituency Brighton Kemptown. --New Progressive 00:54, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The older results were from the book listed in the references section, which is available in any good library - I'll try and get the results for Kemptown in the near (ish) future - especially since I'm living in Brighton and Hove now -- Joolz 08:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Query
Please can you check South East Cornwall? According to the Boundaries section, it includes North Cornwall which doesn't look right to me, but I don't really know much about this. Thank you CarolGray 07:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've had another look at the map and corrected the mistake, cheers - Joolz 13:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Benham Park
Hello, is Benham Park the same as Benham-Valence Manor? I am not familiar with the term "Park" except as applied to land areas which may have manicured lawns or groves of trees, etc. for recreational purposes. I have some information which I should like to add to the page "Benham Park" if it applies, i.e. it is about the manor of Benham-Valence, the "house" as it were. Cheers. Mfields1 00:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit of research (I'm assuming you're asking because of the Marsh Benham page, since there isn't a page for Benham Park yet) - according to they do seem to refer to the same thing - the definition for the term park is pretty broad and can be applied to lots of different types of land. Hope I've helped, and happy editing :) -- Joolz 11:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Vlaams Blok trial
Hi, you have been editing the Vlaams Belang and Vlaams Blok articles in the past. Could I ask you a question ?

I was thinking of starting an article on the Vlaams Blok trial, to explore the trial a little more indepth, and to which could be linked from the Vlaams Belang and Vlaams Blok pages. What would you think about that ?

I'm afraid I would just be creating another battle-ground. On the other hand, the information on the trial in the present articles is rather limited.--LucVerhelst 17:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency)
Hi Joolz

Way back when, you made this addition to the Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency) article:

 * The seat has sent members to Parliament since 1482 when it was enfranchised by Henry VIII. It initially sent two members, this was reduced to one in 1885.

An anonymous user has pointed out (in article) that either the date or the King must be incorrect, as Henry VIII wasn't born until 1492. Any idea which it is?

I will remove the comment to the talk page.

Thanks AndrewMcQ 18:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Greenham Lock pic
Hi, You added Image:River Kennet & canal in Newbury.jpg to Kennet and Avon Canal & I added it to Locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal and Greenham Lock, but it doesn't display properly on my screen & seems to slow the downlaod of the article - any idea why? — Rod talk 16:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm having the same problem with it, it was down to the & in the name (which I don't think was a problem when I uploaded it, else I would have noticed) - I've now uploaded the picture with 'and' in the name, and fixed the articles it's used in, sorry about that, and keep up the good work with the article! :) -- Joolz 17:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Treaty of Rome and the European Economic and Social Committee
Hi,

Firstly just to say great work on all the web pages on the EU.

I am new to Wikipedia so don't know if I am doing this correctly but on noted on this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_rome

that you did not acknowledge that the European Economic and Social Committee was established by the Treaty of Rome and instead you have put 1967 for it, while the page on the EESC has the correct date of 1957?

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:West Berkshire coat of arms.jpg, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal. If you have any questions, ask them at Media copyright questions. -- 18:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Expansion of WP:WikiProject Brighton - your opinion, please.
I have had the idea of expanding and renaming WikiProject Brighton to become WikiProject Sussex - this would not exclude people with a particular interest in, say, Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Midhurst, Pulborough, Billingshurst, Horsham, Crawley, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea, etc. - all places worthy of a WikiProject - and I'm not sure that having WikiProject Brighton as a sub-project of WP:Sussex would work. I feel that we are being too exclusive - we could attract new members this way. What do you think? - Vox Humana 8' 17:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:SpeedFerries - SpeedOne.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SpeedFerries - SpeedOne.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yoghurt
I want to start out by saying I'm really sorry that this happened - I did my best to stop it (since the discussion has happened so many times), but sadly I have been overruled by 4 people who are obsessed with name changing (regardless of whether or not I agree with them). There is a new debate on the Yoghurt talk page about the move - I just felt it would be best if most people who had voted in the past knew about this. daniel folsom 00:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you
The article you created: Harry Roberts (murderer) may be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether the article you created should be deleted here:
 * Articles for deletion/Harry Roberts (murderer).

The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.

Finding sources which mention the topic of the article you created is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted Findsources3:
 * Find sources for Harry Roberts (murderer): google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:
 * 1. List the page on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
 * 2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)

 * 3. You can request a mentor to help you: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.

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 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.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping.

If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Brighton topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

File source problem with File:William George Mount.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:William George Mount.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Obvious Misunderstanding
Apparently you assumed that I was saying that this information was true. But I don't see how being, in my main statement I asked can anyone explain this. I said I didn't bother editing the page because I had no idea as to whether the information was true or not. Just so you know my background is of Moorish and Hebrew decent. So as you should know Moors and Jews worked together in the past and intermarried an we are definitely not like arabs except for the fact that we adopted islam along with the many other religions of the world in order to have a complete understanding of the truth. My main goal was to make sure if this information wasn't true I needed to be able to disprove it. In saying that however I thank you for the link.--Gnosis 19:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Book of Isaiah
Hi there. You recently made some changes on these pages that I appreciate represent Jews sensibilities on the use of divine names. Are you aware of specific policies on Wikipedia that cover this area? There are a lot of pages here that would be affected if we are to use G-d or Hashem all the time.

I've not reverted your changes - if nothing else I haven't the time to go burrowing around for those policies myself - but they do introduce Jewish point of view, and by definition Wikipedia is attempting to generate a neutral point of view. So I wouldn't be surprised if they do get changed any time soon. JGF Wilks 16:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Metsudot moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Metsudot, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Boleyn (talk) 18:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Metsudot

Hello, Epl18. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Metsudot".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Lapablo (talk) 21:51, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

GNAA article
It appears that I am being reverted somewhat senselessly. However, in the interests of fair play I would like to ask whether you think my my additions to the article are relevant, neutral and informative. Am I being unreasonable to add this material? Chocolateboy has added very little the talk page, and appears to have "camped" on the article, and not let anyone else contribute to it. I would very much appreciate your feedback! - Ta bu shi da yu 11:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I can't really see anything wrong with them. The only problem I can think of is that the wording of "The terms "Association of America" is" is a bit awkward, mixing plural and singular (I'd probably change terms -> term); certainly nothing revert-worthy. --Dave2 11:59, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Cool... I'll look into sorting that soon. - Ta bu shi da yu 05:25, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Stardock/Uplink
Given that Introversion are still their own publisher, and thus the only link to Stardock is North-American publishing, I don't feel that the template should be applied to the Uplink article. It makes it seem that Stardock have a much more involved role to have such a huge template, just for the NA publisher. --Dave2 12:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. I put it there because it is a member of the template, as to be complete I believe the template should have all TotalGaming.net games (not just the ones developed by Stardock, which are about 1/4 of them), but I can see your point. If you think it is not valid then you should remove it and I will not re-add without further evidence of involvement with the development.

 * Oh, and hello to a fellow (past) Bath citizen! :-) I was in the class that graduated a year ago (although from the uni, not the college). GreenReaper 13:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I've also adjusted Template:Stardock to show a difference between the games developed and published by Stardock. GreenReaper 14:34, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

No such thing as OGG autio format?
What exactly do you mean when you say that there's no such thing as an OGG audio format, and that it's just a container? I'm talking about your edit in the MaSu article. -D14BL0
 * Basically, Ogg isn't a codec; Vorbis is. Ogg is a standardised file format to contain multimedia data, but it doesn't actually specify what the data is; Vorbis is its most common contents, but there are also Ogg files which are a combination of Vorbis audio and Theora video - for example, Systm distributes Ogg Theora files. FLAC also supports Ogg output, whereby it's FLAC data in an Ogg container. Theoretically I guess you could even put MP3 data in an Ogg container, unless there's some technical reason stopping it. Hopefully this made sense, and I've not just confused you. --Dave2 18:39, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:MDK2 screenshot, Kurt shooting.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:MDK2 screenshot, Kurt shooting.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Non-free use disputed for Image:MDK2 Packshot.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:MDK2 Packshot.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Worms 4 Mayhem Screenshot.jpeg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Replaceable fair use Image:Tvtime screenshot.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Tvtime screenshot.png. I noticed 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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 11:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Cargill Cotton

Hohenberg Bros. Co. is a cotton trading company with headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1978, Julian Hohenberg sold the company to Cargill Inc and it was renamed Cargill Cotton.

History
Cargill Cotton’s roots in cotton merchandising trace back to 1818, when John and Eustace Ralli began trading cotton and other commodities in London. Over the next thirty years, the brothers' business interests began to focus predominantly on cotton from the East Indies. In 1851, Ralli Brothers was incorporated with offices in the United Kingdom, Calcutta, and Bombay.

In 1865, another cotton trading company, Smith, Coney and Barrat, was founded and soon became very successful. By the middle of the twentieth century, the firms had grown to become two of the United Kingdom's leading cotton merchants and in 1962 the two companies agreed to merge, forming Ralli Brothers and Coney.

Shortly after the formation of Smith, Coney, and Barrat, Adolphe and Morris Hohenberg formed their partnership in the United States to trade cotton and dry goods in 1879. Over the next hundred years, Hohenberg Brothers Cotton Company and Ralli Brothers and Coney grew to become two of the largest and most successful in the United States and the world.

At the time Cargill acquired Hohenberg Bros. Company in 1976, Ralli Bros. and Coney and Hohenberg each had established themselves as global leaders in the industry.

In 1981 Ralli Brothers and Coney was sold to Cargill Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Ralli Brothers and Coney's strengths were in the trading of cotton from the Indian sub-continent and Africa, which complemented the fields of expertise, which Cargill Inc. already possessed through their Memphis, Tennessee, USA based cotton-trading company, Hohenberg Brothers Inc.

From these two small family ventures evolved one of the largest and most widely respected cotton merchandising concerns in the history of the world. Combining the strengths of these two organizations, Cargill was immediately recognized as one of the most mature, respected, and experienced companies in the world of cotton merchandising.

In 2002, after over 20 years of operating under both the Hohenberg and Ralli names, the name of the entire cotton operation was changed to Cargill Cotton. Thus the combination of strengths became complete as the cotton business unit assumed the name of its 100 billion-dollar parent company.

Sura (city)

Sura was a city in the southern part of the area called by ancient Jewish sources Babylonia, located east of the Euphrates. It was well-known for its agricultural produce, which included grapes, wheat, and barley. It was also a major center of Torah scholarship and home of an important yeshiva—the Sura Academy—which, together with the yeshivas in Pumbedita and Nehardea, gave rise to the Babylonian Talmud.

Location
According to Sherira Gaon, Sura (סורא) was identical to the town of Mata Mehasya, which is also mentioned in the Talmud, but Mata Mehasya is cited in the Talmud many times, either as a nearby town or a suburb of Sura, and the Talmudist academy in Mata Mehasya served as a branch of Sura Academy, which was founded by Abba Arikha in the third century.

A contemporary Syriac source describes it as a town completely inhabited by Jews, situated between Māḥōzē and al-Hirah in the Sawad. A responsum of Natronai ben Hilai says that Sura was about 6 km from Harta D'Argiz, understood to be al-Hirah.

Byzantine–Sasanian wars
"It was a [Byzantine] garrison of some importance in the Persian campaigns of Belisarius; and a full account is given of the circumstances under which it was taken and burned by Chosroes I. (A.D. 532), who, having marched three long days' journey from Circesium to Zenobia, along the course of the Euphrates, thence proceeded an equal distance up the river to Sura. Incidental mention of the bishop proves that it was then an episcopal see. (Procop. Bell. Pers. i. 18, ii. 5.) Its walls were so weak that it did not hold out more than half an hour; but it was afterwards more substantially fortified, by order of the emperor Justinian. (Id. de Aedificiis Justiniani, ii. 9.)'"

Heinrich Auspitz

Carl Heinrich Auspitz (2 September 1835 in Nikolsburg, Moravia – 22 May 1886 in Vienna) was a Jewish Austrian dermatologist. He was the husband of pianist Auguste Auspitz-Kólar (1843–1878).

He was a member of the famous Moravian-Austrian. Heinrich was a son of Jewish surgeon (1803, Nikolsburg – 1880). His younger brother (1838, Nikolsburg – 1907) was an Imperial & Royal Generalmajor and writer. In 1840, Moritz was given a job at a Jewish hospital in Vienna, and allowed better education to his sons.

Trained at the University of Vienna, he specialized in dermatology and syphilis. He was part of the so-called Vienna School of Dermatology, and studied and worked with several eminent physicians of the time; Ernst Wilhelm (Ritter von) Brücke (1819, Berlin – 1892), Karel (Carl) Freiherr von Rokytanský (1804, Bohemia – 1878), Josef Škoda (1805, Bohemia –1881), Johann Ritter von Oppolzer (1808, Bohemia – 1871), and Ferdinand Ritter von Hebra (1816, Moravia –1880).

In 1863 he became a privat-docent of dermatology and syphilis, and during the following year began work in the histological institute of Carl Wedl. In 1872 he was named director of the general policlinic, and from 1875 onward, was an associate professor at the university.

A pioneer in tissue pathology, he described the pinpoint bleeding on removal of a psoriasis scale that bears his name: "Auspitz's sign". In 1885 he published an article involving mycosis fungoides titled "Ein Fall von Granuloma fungoides (Mycosis fungoides Alibert)".

Together with Philipp Josef Pick (1834-1910), he founded first German-language magazine for dermatology, the "Archiv für Dermatologie und Syphilis" (1869). In 1882 he became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. In May 1886 he died from a heart condition, and was interred in the Wiener Zentralfriedhof.

Award
Since 2005, the "Heinrich Auspitz Preis" has been awarded by the Wyeth and Pfizer Corporation Austria in order to promote scientific research in the field of dermatology.

 * Delete. Wikipedia is not family tree collection. utcursch 10:23, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Very weird. When the author blanked it, I speedy deleted it.  When an author blanks an article, that makes an item a speedy delete candidate.  However, the author recreated it, only without the VfD tag.  Seems that the author wasn't blanking the article.  He or she just wanted to get rid of the VfD tag.  Delete for genealogy.

 * It's not really a genealogy, since it's about a fictional family from General Hospital. Merge into the main article.  RickK 22:04, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
