Proposed move of Yom Kippur War
Other than your userpage, I have no idea who you are or why you decided to join what is certainly a shitstorm of an argument that is nearly certain to cause you headaches and perhaps to even question Wikipedia's commitment to a NEUTRAL Point of View, but I thank you for your comments in support of my proposed move. I hope you continue to support the founding principles of Wikipedia as I try to do as well. I also hope that you suffer no negative social effects from your participation in this discussion, however, I fear that it is unlikely that you will not.

Thanks again. Un focused  01:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Spaceriqui, you said, "The fact is that there are two names, one is Israeli, the other Arab. Which is right? The one that is Culturally Biased?". My response is that all the names by which the war is known are listed in the article intro but the most common one is listed as the title. This is the Wikipedia standard. "Yom Kippur War" is the most common name used in the English speaking world (and for the English Wikipedia we're supposed to use the most common term English speakers use). As I mentioned on the talk page, it is known by this name because the timing of the invasion was specifically chosen to occur on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (not Ramadan), precisely because the target (Israel) would be most vulnerable on that day. While many Arabs call the war something else, "Yom Kippur" is not an offensive word, as far as I know, to Arabs. If you really believe my opposition (as well as that of most of the others) to using the commonly used name is due to bias, then why don't you ask some of the regular Arab and/or Muslim participants to comment, like User:Ramallite, User:Mustafaa, User:Palmiro, User:BrandonYusufToropov, User:Anonymous editor, just to name a few. -- M P er el ( talk 04:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * ok, I added some comments to the discussion area. If some people seem to react a bit strongly to the poll, I believe it's because the first poll occured due to one editor trying to make a WP:Point because of conflicts over the title for Israeli-occupied territories.  However, I think you'll find that while the regular editors representing opposing sides of the Israeli/Arab spectrum all have personal biases, most are committed to NPOV and there is generally mutual respect to work together to make the articles as fairly presented as possible.  Thank you, btw, for being sensitive to NPOV, and doing your part to improve things, it's what Wikipedia is all about. : )  -- M P er el ( talk 04:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

RM for Yom Kippur War
Thanks for the note. Frankly, it's a waste of time. The POV you are opposing is so entrenched here as to be considered neutral. Those who hold it simply can't see that it is a POV at all. I noticed that Mark Pellegrini (Raul) has mischaracterised me, which is something he does with his enemies, so I put him straight, and left some comments for the usual suspects, but that's all I think it's worth. You just can't change those people's minds and they will outnumber any support you are able to get. They don't feel any dissonance in their views and even pointing it out to them carefully doesn't work. Grace Note 04:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Venezuela
You added some info on the Venezuela election results. Could you also add the number of votes and percentages of popular vote for each of the parties. There are also some additional indigenous seats. Do you have info about them? Electionworld 14:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yom Kippur War
Hi - for your first question, I'm sure you are aware that Linux is just an incomplete Mac OS X :) It's the 'diet coke' of OS X!

As for your second question, I guess it would depend on which Egyptian, Syrian, or Jordanian you are asking. It is never referred to in Arabic as the Yom Kippur War (or its Arabic equivalent, which would be Harb Yom Alghufran). My guess is that both Egyptians and Syrians would be a lot more sensitive to calling it anything other than Harb Oktober (October War) in Egypt or Harb Tishreen (October War, Tishreen being the fertile crescent countries' word for October), because they both regard it as a national victory (I still need that explained to me as to why that is) and are proud of it. The official Syrian newspaper is actually called "Tishreen", although I'm not sure it's a testament to the Syrian 'victory' (cough) or to the fact that their Baath Party came to power in October (1970 I think). Since we Palestinians have always known it as the October War, it would seem more strange rather than offensive to hear it called anything else. Same goes for Jordanians, since they did not participate in the war. So in summary, Egyptians and Syrians would probably be more offended, others wouldn't care as much. As far as the page you refer to, I haven't seen it recently, but per WP policy, if it can be argued that 'Yom Kippur War' is common usage in the English langauge, then it is probably okay, but I guess I should read the talk page. It's hard to declare a well-known name a 'POV'. Another example, most Arabs are offended that the Persian Gulf is called that in English, because we call it the "Arabian Gulf". The argument is that there are seven? Arab countries bordering the Gulf, but only one 'Perisan' country. Of course, the counter argument is that the border with Iran is longer than that of all the Arab states combined. Regardless, it is known as 'Persian Gulf' as common usage. So what to do? Hope this helps. Ramallite (talk) 22:42, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin
You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create List of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

Consensus on Chávez
Spaceriqui, when you have time, can you review developments on Talk:Hugo Chávez and let us know which version you think we should move forward with, considering that either version we pick will need work? Thanks ! Sandy 14:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Two articles
Two things you might want to look at:
 * Talk:Venezuelan-Israeli relations
 * Talk:Pedro Carmona (Was Carmona President?) Sandy 21:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You may also be interested in United States-Venezuela relations. It's in a very poor and largely neglected state. Thanks for commenting on Talk:venezuelan-Israeli relations. Respectfully, Republitarian 14:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * On August 12 you voted for merging Israel-Venezuela relations. Since then it's been expanded and cleanedup. Please reevaluate your vote and consider opposing the merge. I dont mean to pester you, but I really want the article to stay independent, and I think its overall quality has improved. The last five votes have all been against merging. Respectfully, Republitarian 03:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Súmate
The photo you uploaded is being questioned on the Sumate talk page. JRSP is saying it's not about the recall referendum, even though your tag specifically says it is. It's amazing. When they can't dispute the facts, they start disputing the pictures. Sandy 22:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Epa. I'm not good with images at all.  JRSP tagged the image in Sumate :  do you know how to find another image in the Commons?  Sandy 13:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've got an email request to Sumate for images. There are some on the website but with no copyright info. Spaceriqui 20:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

About Image:Anti-chavez march.jpg
Can you upload that picture in Wikipedia Commons, in order that other Wikipedias users can use it? I dont know how to do it, and you'd already asked permission to the author. Thks a lot. Dove. I'm a member of the Spanish wikipedia only, Username:Dove.

Talk:Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

Comment
How relevant is the material on how the current NI Assembly works, and the reasons for its suspension, to this article? If anything, it seems to me that all that should be on this page is the relationship between the NI Assembly and the Sec. of State for NI, something that is not fully explained here. I'd do it, but I don't understand the relationship itself (that's what I came here to try to find out!) --Jfruh 20:16, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Irish Name
How is the supposed Irish Name for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland relevant? NotMuchToSay 18:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

The British Government doesn't use it, and the sources were from ROI sources. Therefore I've removed the Irish Name. Aresda (talk) 17:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

mcnulty
According to this from the parliaments website in march 2008 mcnulty seems to be the Secy of state for NI. Is this true?

"Sammy Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will consider prohibiting the Irish Republican Liberation Army under the Terrorism Act 2000. [185725]

Mr. McNulty: I have been asked to reply." (http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200708/cmhansrd/cm080305/text/80305w0002.htm) Lihaas (talk) 13:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Tony McNulty is currently the Minister of State for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing at the Home Office. From the reply you linked to he says that "[he has] been asked to reply", which means the Northern Ireland Office has decided not to respond themselves and passed the issue to the Home Office to deal with (probably because the Terrorism Act 2000 is outside the NI Office's jurisdiction).

Henri François Marion

Henri François Marion (1846–1896) was a French philosopher and educationalist.

Life
He was born in Saint-Parize-en-Viry, Nièvre department, on 9 September 1846.

He studied at Nevers, and at the École Normale, where he graduated in 1868. After occupying several minor positions, he returned to Paris in 1875 as professor of the Lycée Henri IV, and in 1880 he became Docteur ès lettres. In the same year he was elected a member of the Council of Public Instruction, and devoted himself to improving the scheme of French education, especially in girls' schools. He was largely instrumental in the foundation of ecoles normales in provincial towns, and himself gave courses of lectures on psychology and practical ethics in their early days. He died in Paris on 5 April 1896.

His chief philosophical works were an edition of the Théodicée of Leibniz (1874), a monograph on John Locke (1878), Devoirs et droits de l'homme (1880), Franciscus Glissonius quid de natura substantiae, seu vita naturae senserit, et utrum Leibnitio de natura substantiae cogitanti quidquam contulerit (1880); and De La solidarite morale (4th ed., 1893). His lectures at L'école normale supérieure de lettres et sciences humaines, Fontenay-aux-Roses have been published in two volumes entitled Leçons de psychologie appliquée a l'éducation, and Leçons de morale; those delivered at the Sorbonne are collected in L'éducation dans l'université (1892).

Appears to be vanity. NB it was previously here incorrectly with bizarrely some Beach Boys lyrics, which have been deleted from public view because they're copyright. Dunc|☺ 20:17, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as per my original listing. Erwin Walsh
 * Strong delete blatant vanity. And, unless I'm very much mistaken, they've taken the EA Sports/Games logo and filled in the white bits with black.

Votes by new/unregistered users

 * Keep: This page may breach some of the rules of wikipedia.  It may have overstated some aspects of the sport, only in good humour.  These problems can easily be rectified and the page's creator has already offered to cooperate with any suggested changes.  As a member of the Oban community and frugby player myself - I can attest to the positive influence of this sport on the young people of the town.  It is true that this sport has not yet been recognised by the Oban Times.  As Dux (academic leader) of the local High School, I was misquoted only last week on the front page of said newspaper. The truth is that frugby has improved my life, and I believe it can have the same positive effect on others.  This sport is refreshingly new, you dont need to be an athlete to compete.  As such, I vote to keep this page and encourage other youngsters to share our enthusiasm for the sport of Oban's youth. Sincerely, Andy lennox (16) User's first and only edit

 * KEEP: I recently found this article in the Wikipedia after hearing rumors of such a sport.  The rumors had made their way down from Oban Scotland by word of mouth all the way to Islington/Hackney London, where I see people playing it in the parks around here.  I would use the words "Intrepid" "Brave" "Honourable" to describe these young Men (yes I use the word men, for who else can participate in such a lively sport) rather than such a cowardice word as "vanity."  I am proud to say I support such an entry into Wikipedia and if it was not for my wooden leg (a war wound) I would be playing myself. Vote by Jab204, his first and only edit.

 * totally keep man yo, i am the lads Frugby coach. JohnK just brought this to my attention and i think you have totally gotta keep it. The boys came to me last Christmas asking if i would help them arrange times to play and i agreed. they have all worked so hard tom promote and develope the sport, this article took a lot of work as JohnK (the author) has a severe strain of dyslexia and so even trying to write an essay like this took some balls. as an after thought to BALLS, maybe some of you guys should try and grow some, i mean who the frig collects flags?! coach morrison 20:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC) Vote by the user is their first and only edits
 * keep I previously requested this article as i promoted the advent of Frugby in the boys school as a sort of project to encourage them to take up a sport. Frugby has now spread throughout the Scottish west coast and is becoming more and more popular. It may sound ridiculous but it is similar to the "jump london" craze a few years ago. Vote by user Poker Face, who's first and only edit was this vote.
 * keep Frugby means alot to alot of people and to remove would be to remove the most important part of their community. Frugby has touched the hearts and souls of many people in the Oban area and this site is a perfect way of spreading the message further afeild. in these troubled times the only thinks that keep us saine are what remains of our community spirit. Vote was actually cast by 86.132.165.174
 * keep I am the author of this thread and whilst that may make my opinion biased i really do see a need for this thread. I don't believe the thread is at all Vain; i tried to make it as informative as possible to as wide an audience as possible. On the subject of the logo; it is barely recognisable from the EA logo and it has been altered substantialy enough to avoid copyright infringement. If need be i would be happy to edit the article again to better meet with your criteria. Johnk vote cast by IP 80.44.126.27
 * Keep Poker Face vote actually by 80.44.126.27

 * Strong Keep Through one of my many adventures throughout the World Wide Web, I have recently come across the sport of Frugby. Pursuing my curiosity, I tried Wikipedia to see if I can find out more about the support.  Upon seeing this entry, I believe that this sport has potential throughout the world to become major.  Deleting this entry will not help the inventors of Fruby, and it may stop the sport from becoming Global.

How can it be vanity if i am not referring to myself or including myself? Also they are the social elite of the area. Half of them are Dux of the local High school, one of them is a fleet admiral in the navy, and the other is from America. So they are all elite.johnk Keep someone please have the courtacy to explain why this article has to be deleted? Believe it or not but it is actually not a piss take. Also why are all positive votes being deleted. The IP address is the same as it is actually possible to have more than one person using the same internet connection.

 * Annon votes are discounted anyways, due to, "Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith. If you have never contributed before, how are we supposed to know whether you're a valid contributor, or if you're just a friend or relative of the article's creator voting out of personal loyalty?" Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:29, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, however these people are the ones who are most likely to read the article and ,currently, those who will get most out of it.
 * Since, it is most likely a local thing, what you could do is copy the information you have here and start up your own website about Frugby. There are various website providers willing to give you free space to use. But, on Wikipedia, we have criteria of what can be included. And some users feel that Frugby does not meet these standards. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:39, 20 August 2005 (UTC)#

 * what about the article you have about yourself? is that not, most likely, a "local" thing? Personaly i would say this is of more interest to more people than any article you have written about yourself. As this has been accused of being an essay on vanity (which it isnt) how would you describe your own autiobiographical piece?

 * What I have is called a user page. Wikipedians, once they get an account, are given a page to put information about themselves if they want. If you sign up for an account, you are given one of these pages and you put the information about Frugby on there. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

how about i change my username to frugby and put the article there? or is that against the rules too?

what about if i include a single paragraph about myself?

 * Create an account called Frugby (which is legal). If put the article there and a paragraph about yourself on your user page, that is fine too. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * who should i contact with regards to a bribe to keep this page?
 * I do not take bribes, but most likely, the page will be deleted. And, if that is the case, you and your friends are not allowed to create it. If so, the page will fall under speedy deletion and will be deleted without going through this process. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:17, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

but everyone accepts bribes.... how about i threaten to kill myself?

also are you aware that an article entitled " hole" has been available for longer than this.

"Frugby" is the least of your worries.

 * hole was deleted as an attack page. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:33, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Talk:David E. Kelley

Untitled
Can someone confirm that this is really a picture of David E Kelley? Doesn't look like him at all. The main header picture shows how he looks - he has a quite characteristic look that hasn't changed much with time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.239.209.229 (talk) 10:58, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

David E. Kelley's Religion
The recently added paragraph

 * Sometimes assumed to be a Catholic (because of his surname and his character on The Practice, Bobby Donnell's Catholic background and his personal estrangement from the Church over the issue of pedophile priests), Kelley is actually a Protestant.

merits some scrutiny. If, as The New York Times reported, Kelley was raised Catholic, to what Protestant denomination did he convert and when? And is Bobby Donnell "his character" more so than other Practice characters? Robert Happelberg 20:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * i don't understand how Kelley is a Catholic last name. 75.45.201.244 (talk) 02:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't understand what you are saying here. Even if Kelley is commonly a Catholic name, it doesn't follow that Kelley is. He isn't. The NYT printed a retraction. ∴ Therefore | talk 02:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I was being obtuse. You make a good point -- I would think the section should be rewritten so as not to state that. ∴ Therefore | talk 02:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Recycled Dialog?
The examples provided of Kelley recycling dialog seem pretty trite. I bet lots of characters say "Hello" to each other on his different shows, too. Is that "recycled dialog" worthy of a place on this list? Or should we just delete this section? --Christofurio 21:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I haven't watched many of his shows, but if you ask me using a specific line from one show to the next sounds more like clever writing than "recycling" dialogue, especially based on the examples (save for "Look at me!" which I can see being easy to overuse). But as I haven't actually seen the scenes with these lines. --WWB 00:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Alzheimers
In his shows Alzheimers, Dementia, Brain Tumors and alike have been a very important theme. Also assitant sucide or sucide or relatives killing sick members of their family(mostly sons killing their fathers) are a theme. Its very apperent. Somebody should be writing something about that. i don't know if it has something to do with his personal history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.211.161 (talk) 23:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Themes
For the love of god, why does somebody keep removing that he changes facts in his shows? Its fact, god dammit. Are we supposed to believe he is some beacon of fair and true debate? No, his shows have changed facts to make storylines better - live with it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Conanoats (talk • contribs) 12:34, 29 August 2006.
 * I'm one of those "somebody" editors who is reverting this, and will continue to do so. Please refer to WP:Neutral point of view, which is one of Wikipedia's core policies.  Especially read the part on fairness of tone.  Your presentation of these alleged "facts" (for which you provide no citation) has overtones of an agenda, so it's not neutral.  It's not all about "fact" or "truth".   By the way, please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. -- PKtm 15:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

How can I cite a TV show? Maybe Wikipedia should remove all TV show entries since you can't prove any of it? It is all about fact and truth, what else is left? I don't want to read opinions, its true or not and this is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conanoats (talk • contribs) 16:30, 29 August 2006
 * No, you're contradicting what's presented in the TV show, but you offer no citation of source for the counterfacts that you mention. See WP:Verifiability.  In Wikipedia, it's actually not about "truth" per se, it's about verifiability.  And even if you did cite sources, you'd need to rewrite your text to be as neutral point of view as possible, because it's a selective presentation of facts obviously intended to paint Kelley as a liar.  You need to understand that you have biases here, clearly, which is OK (we all have them, after all), and work to iron those out of any contribution you make to Wikipedia.  By the way, again, please sign your talk page entries as I requested.  Thanks, PKtm 16:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

David E. Kelley's Archetypes
Wikipedia says "The Copyright Infringing Defendant Delusional defendant who thinks he's an icon of copyrighted American folklore, such as a famous comic book superhero or movie character. For example, on The Practice, Lindsay Dole defended a man who thought he was Hannibal Lecter, and kept calling her "Clarice". In another episode, a mental patient thought he was Superman and tried to fly off a hospital ledge."

The episode where a mental patient thought he was Superman was not written by David E. Kelley and he had very little involvement with the show that season except for at the beginning and the end. Also that's only 2 examples of that character, which hardly constitutes an archetype. I think that part should be removed.

 * Mmm, interesting. I'm sure with only a little effort we can find plenty more examples. Not off the top of my head right now, though. Robert Happelberg 17:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm blanking the whole section as Original Research. Find someone somewhere who's published this stuff and you can re-add it. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 07:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Article assessment
I have rated this article as B class because while it is comprehensive there are some sections that lack references (casting and awards). I have rated it as mid importance because of the awards recognition and breadth of his career. I think it's a strong article and compares well to similar featured articles like Aaron Sorkin.

These categories are arbritrary and are subject to review by any editor who feels confident to do so. Please note that a more formal assessment by other editors is required to achieve good article or featured article status. I used criteria from the television wikiproject guidelines here, article about TV series guidelines here and the assessment guidelines here.--Opark 77 12:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

David Kelley, TV Warrior
Shouldnt a reference to the song "David Kelley, TV Warrior" by DVDA be made somwhere in the article? --Mackay64 (talk) 15:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Kelley is "one of the only"...??
There has to be something wrong in the following quoted sentence. It has no sense at all:

"Kelley is one of the only screenwriters to have had a show created by him run on all four of the top commercial U.S. television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX)".

Besides the logical inconsistency, there should be a better precision about how many screenwriters other than him have achieved this feat. Or state that he is the only one, if there is no other in this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.19.217.173 (talk) 03:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Tropicana straw and music videos?
In this interview, Kristin Hersh of the band Throwing Muses says: [The video for her song Loon] was shot by one of my dearest friends, David Kelley. Fun fact: he was one of the Painters in Rat Girl [Hersh's 2010 memoir]. He also came up with the straw in the orange for Tropicana. I remember that it was like a day off, which one rarely enjoys on tour. Days off mean you start asking yourself where the hell you are and what the hell you're doing there, but David made it sweet by letting me spend the day with my little toddler, Ryder (Ryder called it "Hamsterdam"). The camera was hidden for most of the entire two day shoot, which was very kind of him. Does anyone know if this is the same David Kelley? They both have Providence / Boston roots. -- James E.

Image tagging for Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 03:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair Usage
Regarding the above image please self-revert the Mel Gibson article as the image you've uploaded does not qualify for fair usage there. The Patriot (2000 film) article would be the only article that would qualify for usage of the patriot image you've uploaded. Thanks. (→ Netscott ) 19:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a warning. Do not replace (through uncommenting out) this image in the Mel Gibson article. If you do so you are likely to face blocking per Wikipedia's blocking policy regarding such material. Thanks. (→ Netscott ) 19:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * By all means edit according to Wikipedia's fair use policy relative to any given article. (→ Netscott ) 19:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Do not make false accusations. You have now had your fair use image addtions reverted by not only myself but also by User:Freakofnurture. If you continue you will be blocked. I tried being polite with you and such politeness failed to get your attention. I suspect that a block will be slightly more attention getting. (→ Netscott ) 19:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Do not refer to User:Freakofnurture as "freak-head". You have not properly understood the policy. Because there is a viable free alternative image to show who Mel Gibson is there is no valid fair use rationale to use other images of him on the article about him. Rather than spend time arguing I would recommend that you try to find a free alternative image of him that meets your approval. (→ Netscott ) 20:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mel Gibson
I didn't realize until going through the history, what form your earlier comments had taken. I wasn't trying to be offensive or dismissive of your views, I was, probably inappropriately, expressing the dismissiveness w/ which I regard Gibson and anything he says, either against Jews or in apology for such remarks. I'm not surprised he made the statements he made, nor am I surprised he apologized profusely. While I still love watching the Lethal Weapon movies, I have long since lost any respect I once had for Gibson as a person, so his offensive remarks and reconciliatory pleas hold the same lack of interest for me. All I was saying, of relevance to the discussion on the article talk page, is that while until he says [soberly] "I hate Jews" or something like that, or starts funding the US Nazi Partei, etc., I don't support putting him in Category:Anti-Semites, but! I completely understand why pretty much any reasonable person could well-believe he fits in that category just as surely as Adolf Hitler or Haman. Tom e rtalk 10:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots Please see Images_and_media_for_deletion/2006_August_9. This was explained to you previously.

Image:Leestrobel.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Leestrobel.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 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 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Fossilcompany.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fossilcompany.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.BetacommandBot 09:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Bs shavedhead.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bs shavedhead.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. 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 Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC).

One More Chance (Michael Jackson song)

"One More Chance" is a song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson. It was written by R. Kelly and included on Jackson's compilation album Number Ones, released on November 22, 2003. The song was later included on the Australian, French, Swedish and Indonesian editions of King of Pop and the Japanese limited edition of The Ultimate Collection box set.

"One More Chance" was the last original single released during Jackson's lifetime. It received a positive reception from music critics and reached the top ten in Italy. It also reached number 5 in the UK. The song also managed to reach the top 30 in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and peaked at number 83 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

This was the third song recorded by Jackson titled "One More Chance", the first two having been in 1970 and 1984 for the ABC and Victory albums respectively, while a member of the Jacksons, although the 1984 song has Michael's brother Randy singing the lead vocals.

Music video
Directed by Nick Brandt, Jackson had been shooting the music video late into the night of November 17, 2003 at CMX Studios in Las Vegas, Nevada, but production was stopped following a raid on the Neverland Ranch by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office in relation to allegations of child sex abuse by Jackson. The single was instead promoted using a montage video of highlights from Jackson's career.

On October 13, 2010, the official website of Michael Jackson announced that the music video would be finished with what footage they had available, and was released in a deluxe DVD box set Michael Jackson's Vision on November 22, 2010. A rough two-minute cut of the video leaked online on November 15, 2010. On November 19, 2010, the full length of the video premiered on Jackson's official website. As with the song being the last brand new single released during his lifetime, the music video is also Jackson's last music video and the only with new footage to be released posthumously. The video begins with a group of people walking onto a stage. The curtain opens to reveal a cafe that Jackson starts dancing in with the group of people watching, revealing they were what brought him the same joy and vice-versa.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bad Company Thai Boxing Gym

A tag has been placed on Bad Company Thai Boxing Gym, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Harry the Dog WOOF  16:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Msallata

Msallata (also Al Qasabat, Cussabat and El-Gusbát) is a town in the northwestern part of Libya, in the Murqub District. It has a population of nearly 24,000, and was historically a center of Islamic studies. It is also known for having very wet winters, olive tree farming and olive oil production. The Tripolian Republic was announced in Msallata on 16 November 1918 which was the first republic in the Arab world. Along with the city of Tarhuna, it gave its name to the former Libyan district of Tarhuna wa Msalata.

Etymology
There has not been any research on the etymology of the name Msallata, but there is some speculation as to its origins. One theory is that the name comes from the plural of the Arabic word for obelisk masalla which is masallat, because the city is the home of 22 tall buildings called qasaba. Others speculate that the name comes from the Arabic word salt (scrubbing), which also has the more specific meaning of 'scrubbing olive from its tree', with the M at the beginning being a variant of the Himyarite definite article am-. Supporters of this argument mention that Msallata is famous for its olive production. However, none of these claims have been scientifically substantiated.

History
The history of the city dates back to the Roman Ages where it was mentioned as Misfe, a station between Leptis Magna and Tarhunah. At the end of the First World War, the agreement on establishing the Tripolitanian Republic was signed in the city on November 16, 1918.

Anti-Jewish riots erupted in Tripolitania, then part of British-administered Libya in November 1945 against the backdrop of general economic difficulties, and in al-Kusbat, many Jews converted to Islam to protect themselves from the massacre.

Kennedy Fried Chicken

Kennedy Fried Chicken and Crown Fried Chicken are common restaurant names primarily in the New York–New Jersey, Philadelphia, Delaware and Baltimore areas of the United States, but also in nearby smaller cities or towns along the Northeastern United States. Kennedy Fried Chickens typically compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in low income neighborhoods of several states along the East Coast. There are also a number in the West Coast, primarily in California. A number of these restaurants, located in other states, are named New York Fried Chicken, essentially designed in the same manner and offering the same general menu as Kennedy and Crown Fried Chicken. It is not an actual franchise in the typical manner; every "Kennedy" named chicken restaurant is independently owned and operated by different individuals but consist of essentially the same menu.

History
Kennedy Fried Chicken was founded on May 16, 1969, with its first restaurant on Nostrand Avenue in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. There is a dispute among the people involved in the business over who is the actual founder. Some claim that it is Abdul Karim while others say Taeb Zia was the early founder. Zia, an Afghan immigrant originally from Kabul, Afghanistan, is known by some as Zia Chicken or "Lau Chicken". After studying engineering in Baku, Azerbaijan, he immigrated to the United States in 1977 and began working at a New York City fast food restaurant chain by the name of Kansas Fried Chicken, founded by African-American entrepreneur Horace Bullard. After spending about three years learning how to run a fast food business, he decided to open his own fried chicken restaurant with equivalent quality but prices 15-20% cheaper.

Kennedy Fried Chicken was named after assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy, "because Afghans are fond of the former president." During the 1980s and 1990s many of the same restaurants have opened across New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland and several other states, including West Coast states such as California.

The restaurants
For the most part the restaurants share the same concept, if not the same menus. In addition to fried chicken they may offer fried fish, hot wings, short ribs, shrimp, burgers, pizza, beef patties on coco bread, sandwiches, fries, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, onion rings, sweet potato pies and a variety of flavors of ice cream for dessert.

Many restaurant locations are in low-income and higher crime communities, serving from behind bulletproof glass, especially at night. Some locations have added Middle Eastern dishes such as kebabs with rice to their menus, but Kennedy's and Crown's specialties are the deep-fried chicken (described as "not too dry or too soggy"). Chicken and food are quite often ordered a la carte. Not all dishes are available for takeout and delivery. Menus are usually posted on the walls with photographs.

Due to the tendency of these restaurants to appear in socioeconomically challenged locations, Kennedy, Crown, and New York Fried Chicken are sometimes referred to disparagingly as "ghetto chicken".

In 2008 one Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurant in Harlem, New York changed its name to "Obama Fried Chicken" in honor of the election of President Barack Obama.

Legal matters
The restaurants are traditionally owned and operated mostly by Afghan-Americans but are not formally connected, although their concept, menus and prices are similar. The multitude of owners has caused problems for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in New York; since the 1990s Kentucky Fried Chicken has tried to enforce trademark rights against some of the Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurants, many of which used the initials "KFC", and have been known to decorate their restaurants in red and white colors similar to Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants.

Trademark controversy
In 2005 Abdul Haye, an Afghan immigrant since 1989 and a resident of Whitestone, Queens in New York City, registered Kennedy Fried Chicken as a trademark. He has been attempting to enforce the trademark against other restaurants with mixed results.
