The Community Portal was recently reverted to a version that appeared months ago. Therefore, I've called for a vote to restore to the Community Portal the version that had developed here up until that reversion. There are three drafts competing for the privilege, each representing entirely different approaches, including the current revert version. To show your support for which design should be displayed as the Community Portal, VOTE HERE. Sincerely, -- Go for it! 18:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I've got the colours/titles working. User:Quiddity/sandbox2
I Don't have a contents box. or a title-header box. (cant figure out alternatives yet)
Can we get the wikiprojects/portals to bump to the bottom of the CBB somehow?
feel free to edit that sandbox. -- Quiddity 03:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I dont know if you want to add User:Kmf164/Workshop to the CP drafts list (i just moved/added the commons-colours draft to the list). Although i am against icons in general, they did seem to have some support, and this is the best version i've seen that includes any. -- Quiddity 18:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I have moved Wikipedia:Little Ipswich to Little Ipswich and made it into a redirect. Your index came up when I checked for double redirects. Here to tell you about it instead of simply removing the link because I don't like to unilaterally edit other people's userpages. I'm also not sure what the intended purpose of the index is, and thus whether deleting the link is appropriate. -- Fuhghettaboutit 03:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
The only reason I included this section on the Community Portal is because these links are not available on the Main Page, and because they are not easily accessible from the Main Page either (except for one). The only reason I knew where they were was because I got involved behind the scenes, at which time I had to track them down one by one. Go to the Main page, and try to find the path to these pages from there, and you'll see what I mean.
Another consideration is that all the departments of Wikipedia should be accessible from a single list. Though I agree that since the Featured content now has a prominent link on the nav menu, those departments are ubiquitous and don't need to be redundantly reported in the Wikipedia by Department section on the Community Portal. --
Go for it!

You mean the blue box near the top right of Talk:Main Page? ;-) - Quiddity 01:07, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Be my guest to take over :) I am out for another week or two and I haven't been following up with what's happening on Com portal or CBB or WP in general. However, CBB needs someone dedicated to look over it, because people don't archive. They just list their news and leave. Renata 21:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Kmf. You and I haven't had any direct interaction, but you are an active admin I've seen around so I figured I should ask you this question. I have had a request for comment on a potential policy shift up for a while. I was wondering what the next step would be to actually try and alter Wikipedia policy? A vote of some kind? Would this have to be admin endorsed? I ask because adding enforcement power to RFCs is still just a proposal, so clearly this alone has no actual force. Staxringold 22:10, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I hate pestering people's talk pages about AFD votes (or votes at all... it's very bad form really) but I've just done a huge amount of work on this article, and it is probably 80% different from when you nominated for deletion. I have found a large number of English language references, and I have used <cite> so any reader or editor can identify where each individual statement in the article came from. That ought to deal with WP:V and WP:RS. As for notability, you can make your own decision: the relevant guideline says "Usually, books with an ISBN-number and/or availability in a couple dozen of libraries and/or a Project Gutenberg type website, and with a notability above that of an average cookbook or programmers manual would qualify". Which doesn't help really, since it's entirely subjective how you are going to compare notability of a best-selling paranoid gutter-press fantasy to a cookbook! If you rank this as below an average cookbook, I'm not going to argue with you :) TheGrappler 04:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello
In your WTC article, you deleted a simple link to an alternative view of the WTC collapse. In all your research, have you made it to Physics911.net?
I invite you to view this video and judge for yourself: Produced by reasearch from American PhDs, engineers, professors http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848
You'll find answers to these burning questions:
1) How jet fuel (most of which flew out of the crashing jets) that burns at 1300F maximum softened steel (melts at 1800F) all the way down to the bottom of both buildings. Is that possible?
2) See the pictures: Why there was only a 16 foot hole in the Pentagon from an apparent jet crash. Why did the FBI confiscated the cameras that showed the crash as it happened from a gas station and a traffic cam. Where was the debris from the crash of the plane into the Pentagon
3) Where was all the debris from the crash of flight 93? The people on the scene including the coroner saw no bodies and minimal damage on the ground.
4) Why is Osama bin Laden wearing a gold watch in that "confession video", which his religion prohibits and using his right hand to write whereas the CIS website states he is a lefty. WHy does he look nothing like the photos that we know of him?
5) How did the builidings collapse perfectly into their own footprint, something that demolition experts contend can only be done with a controlled explosion of highest skill.
6) Why was there molten steel at the sub basement levels of the WTC? heat from 1000 feet up? not possible. see the pictures for yourself. Was that due to thermite explosions from bombs placed? Why were dozens of firefighters telling of explosions that day coming from under them as they climbed to the top of the towers that day?
7) How did complete amateurs learn to fly jumbo jets so skillfully?
8) How come at least 7 of them are alive today?
Hi again! Given the opinion you gave at the request for comment on archives I thought you might be interested to know the issue has now been put to a straw poll and could use your vote! Staxringold 00:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm still pretty inexperienced, and hesitate to create a new category without help and/or supervision. I've been trying to create a new category for "Superintendents of the United States Military Academy", but keep getting stuck in a loop. Am I missing something?

Do I have to make the category a subcategory of US Army officers or some such?

Normal Nick had poor English and a distinctive style. I'm not convinced that Digiterata is him, though the writing I see is all short boiler-plate, so it's hard to tell. Just haveing a sock isn't grounds for blocking, unless it's used abusively. In any case it looks like he's close to violating 3RR, unless he's been very careful in his changes. If Normal Nick shows up and starts reverting to Digiterata's version... Tom Harrison Talk 21:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I feel that an article abour the WTC should include facts about their destruction. The lack of facts surrounding the collapse of WTC7 is unusual - this should also be commented upon. Silverstein's 'pulled' remark should be included - as it is a fact - i agree that speculation about what the remark may mean should be developed in another section/article. To label any fact which questions the offical story of 9/11 as a'Conspiracy Theory' is essentially a form of fundamentalism. Surely as many people as possible should be made aware of Silverstein's remarks. What is happening over there in the land of the free, home of the brave?

now that's some fast feedback!
i was actually just wondering if you had any advice on the whole "highlight search box" thing. I figure i should just let it drop into archives; I only suggested it in the first place to help remove the redundant search box from the MainPage redesigns! Unless you think it's worth reinvigorating, that's probably what i'll do. (i fully grok that hundreds of interesting suggestions disappear into archives, and that's ok, theyre there somewhere, or still in the collective subconscious as it were..) just thinking outloud really. </ramble>

User:Ombudsman's revert of the Larry Silverstein pull quote seems to me to be done in bad faith: Objections to its inclusion were by you and I on the talk page and he did not address them.
The edit summary of "rv: restore noteworthy section regarding pull it quote; the matter of Silverstein's relations to persons and entities that stood to gain are well documented, by Don Paul among many others" is full of speculation. More questions: What insight about "relations" is contained in the quote?
Where does the quote show that Silverstein "stood to gain" from abandoning 7 World Trade Center? Objectively speaking, Silverstein couldn't override the judgments being made by the Fire Department at the Chief and Commissioner level at the scene to abandon, not abandon the building -- apart from the speculation that the building was destroyed by controlled demolition.
The quote is only noteworthy where it already appears, namely in the 9/11 conspiracy theories article patsw 12:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi KMf164,
I think you misunderstand. My name is Alex and I am not an advertiser or spammer. I've added links to ARTICLES. Not advertising. Please stop editing my contributions. I am NOT violating rules. Nor am I posting links to a site of mine. About.com is a subsidiary of the NY Times, and the links I've posted are to relevant articles.
Before you delete anything I have posted, please have the courtesy to check the link and the srticle I am linking to.
Best,
Alex
Understood, and I plan to contribute more to wikipedia than just links. but for the time being, please leave in place what I've already add, as a courtesy. I promise to balance out future contributions, with insightful edits to content as well. Good luck.
Alex
you are correct by the way I have been adding links to a particular website - to in fact About.com.
You may not be yet aware, but Wikipedia and About.com are (or will be shortly) officially collaborating to improve wikipedia.
As such, the links are provided to support the users experience, and offer additional content users may want. The links are chosen very specifically, (if you'll check for yourself) add addtional info.
But like I said before, my plan to contribute with more than just links.
Best,

I forgot to ask proper authority before editing the pages. AgentFade2Black 01:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Please see my comments regarding your sudden reformatting of this page, in which you made it into a table, inconsistent with the other related pages. I am trying to see it objectively (since I did most of the initial build up of those pages before the agressive table format you turned the one single page into), but I really don't see how the table you forced it into is an improvement. My preference is for it to be reverted back. Also, you did quite a few edits to the content, which was a bit aggressive, at the same time as the format change, losing links to specific profiles, thumbnails, etc. Since you are an administrator, I don't want to simply revert the page and undo all of your table work, without at least your response on why you did all this, and what you plan to do to (future tables? cleanup? consistency??) the rest of those pages before I put any more substantial work into them. I don't really care to waste a lot of my own time, if it is just going to be all undone by you after the fact. I am not sure about the protocol, with you being an administrator, or if there needs to be any discussion about major page format changes, such as the one you did. Any response is welcome. If the page can be put back, would that have to be before anybody else makes content changes there? Or is any discussion warranted? It seems as if huge page changes like that should at least receive the courtesy of a note on the discussion page, at the same time as the changes are made, if not before. Yet you left no explanation, not even in the notes lines of your edits, other than the single word "format." Sorry for the long message, but I am at a loss, and I need some sense of where this stands, since I had planned to add quite a bit more to the content Steven Russell 06:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you seem to have a lot of experience with image uploading. I recently uploaded an image: Image:Woodruff.jpeg that I'm unsure how to classify for copyright purposes. I have received permission to use the image in the Michael Woodruff article, but not a full release (see the image's discussion page for more information) and I'm not sure which category that is. So, if you could please help me figure it out, that would be awesome. Thank you. Cool3 21:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Could you please delete image:woodruff.jpeg. I have contacted the copyright holder about licensing the image, but they will not be able to respond for a week or two.

You seem to know the workings of Portal:Box-header, so maybe you can help me. In many portals, images don't display correctly in IE; depending on the formatting, they may appear, not appear, or find their way to the bottom of the page, below all other content (for example, the biography picture on Portal:Technology). From testing in userspace, it looks like removing the final "position: relative" from Portal:Box-header fixes the problems, but I don't know enough about CSS to know if that will cause other problems.-- ragesoss 01:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Just FYI, even though it's a shared IP for an entire school district, every single edit from them, with the possible exception of Cyclopia, is vandalism (occasionally self-reverted, usually not).

Hi Kmf, sorry to bother you but you are the first admin I could think of to bring this to. Chcknwnm removed the spoiler template from the Cheers article sections under "Plot" that contain spoilers. I reverted this change, he reverted it back adding a note on the talk page, and I reverted it back after explaining my position. He has reverted it a second time and threatened administrative intervention (which seems like quite a leap) at Talk:Cheers#Spoiler should I violate the WP:3RR and return the article to its beginning state. This threat rather ties my hand as either leaving Cheers in it's spoilerriffic state with no warnings or risk tarnishing my reputation as an editor just for trying to keep new fans from having their experience of the show ruined. Could you, as a third party and an administrator, take a quick look, add your opinion, and potentially add/keep removed the spoiler tags depending on what you think? Thanks!

Hi, I'm an avid contributer to the german wikipedia, not specialiced but attracted to US topics. Right now, I'm planning to write about Jedediah Smith, one of the most interesting trappers or mountain men in the 1820s. You seem to be the person to ask map related questions. Do you know a map somewhere in the wikipedia sytem (en, commons, etc), that shows the western part of North America (from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean) with some kind of relief and shading for mountains and all of the rivers, plus maybe the modern state borders to help with orientation, but no modern cities, highways, railways and the like? If not, is there someone or somewhere I can ask to create a map like this? I believe it would be tremendously useful for all kinds of articles on the western frontier in all the wikimedia projects.

I am seeking your help because you are listed as a particpant in anti-spam efforts at Wikipedia. I have not been able find out how to effectively contact someone regarding a user(company) that continually removes valid, informative external links, and replaces them with a link to promote their corporate services.
While this certainly not a unique situation, the disturbing fact is that user mezuri is supposedly a member of WikiProject Spam. Please look at the "home automation" section and look at the "custom install" link as well as the history page. They claim to be removing commerical links but are only promoting there own company.
What can be done about this situation? Who can I contact?
I want to make legitimate contributions to Wikipedia including a glossary link for this particular page in question but I dont want have my work removed and continually replaced with commercial promotion by a member of
"Wikiproject Spam".

I think problems remain.Comments were prejudiced and most of them were ill-informed.Can I ask for change of name of the CVU which does not suggest they have some special powers. Holywarrior 17:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I think as far as tall buildings go...there rate them in numerous ways and I will try and find the links I once saw that dicusses whether the building is measured as the tallest point of the building, be it a mast or antenna, the tallest finished surface that is a part fo the main structure or the tallest living/working area. I believe that the Sear Tower is still the tallest one based on occupied floor, whereby others built more recently are taller if you count decorative design. I know that the Chrysler building was considered to be the worlds first building over 1,00 feet, but obviously that the occupied floors are well below this point. Lets hold off on doing a "did you know" until we have more clarification about the height of 200 Greenwich Street.-- MONGO 04:23, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we can see what these folks have to say about it... Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat-- MONGO 04:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
But 200 Greenwich Street won't compare in height to the Fordham Spire and Burj Dubai-- MONGO 04:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Since you suggested it :)

Thanks for supporting the proposal to create a portal for U.S. government (and politics?) topics. The proposal passed, and I copied my draft over the the portal namespace. It's at Portal:Government of the United States. If you would like to help keep the portal updated (especially anything relating to the Supreme Court), feel free to stop by the portal talk page or just go in and make any improvements or changes you see fit. In its current state, the portal is just a starting point. My interests are more with criminal justice aspects of government & politics, though will do whatever portal updates needed. Thanks again for the support. -- Aude ( talk contribs) 03:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on the creation of the portal. To briefly expand my position on the portal's name and scope, I believe it should be exclusively for the federal government of the United States, since the federal government is a corporate entity distinct from the governments of states or municipalities. I believe this will best lend itself to providing clear and accurate information about the U.S. Government. I shall check it often; excellent work, keep it up. Paul 04:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
