"Yes, this is still the talk page of Hornetman16, I just cleaned it up so it wasn't so cluttered."-- Hornetman16 02:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

Moved here, because the conversation above is a little chaotic :)

From my talk page: what do you think of the one I have above [in my talk page, that is]? I can change the icon set for you to any you like, really. Some folks use the Crystal icon set. I chose the ones above because they're small and intricate. Mind if I snag a copy of your userpage, sandbox it and play around with it? I'll give you a shout when it's done & you can tell me what you think? I did this guy's the other day in about 15 minutes. It did look like this. What do you think? - Alison ☺ 04:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and snag a copy, Genius (meant to be a compliment)!-- Hornetman16 04:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok - snagged. You can see the ongoing work here - Alison ☺ 04:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm also going to add some stuff to your userspace; navbar templates and stuff. Just so you know! :) - Alison ☺ 04:29, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Try and keep my championship belt tables.-- Hornetman16 04:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Yah. Will do. Leave it with me & see how it goes - Alison ☺ 04:29, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Alison, if you like redesigning userpages, mines a bit... chaotic. :P Regards, Navou 04:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

(ec x 100) I'll take a look if you like. I'm no professional, though (that'd be User:Phaedriel :-) ) - but some folks seem to steal the look of my own page because they like it. User:Kukini was the latest! - Alison ☺ 04:29, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to bed I'llbe back tomorrow afternoon! NIGHT!!!-- Hornetman16 04:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I added the navbar just now and did minor tidies. The Edge icons are really sweet (why didn't I use those?) Let me know what you think in the morning. All licensed correctly, BTW - Alison ☺ 05:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Forgive me for not being sooner but thanks for the new nav. bar!!!-- Hornetman16 18:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem at all. I'll have your userpage finished sometime soon, too ... I've not forgotten - Alison ☺ 19:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I just gave you a updated version of my userpage to work with.-- Hornetman16 20:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Cool - thanks! I'm going to put your userboxes behind a collapsible template but will leave your faith ones on display, ok? - Alison ☺ 04:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

PERFECT!-- Hornetman16 04:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

How am I doing? - is it kinda heading in the right direction? The group of userboxes in the collapsible template is broken so don't mind them! - Alison ☺ 04:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

It's heading in the right direction!!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺-- Hornetman16 21:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Hornetman16/ScriptureStub

Article content should not reference user pages. Please see WP:ASR. There is a process for proposing new stub types - that way, everything is kept organized. In general, there need to be 30-60 or more articles available for the stub for it to be accepted. --BigDT 04:48, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Place it on evry article of a christian bible scripture and you'll get like 200 of them!-- Hornetman16 04:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, but it needs to be proposed first. Also, something like John 3:16 is not a stub. A stub is a paragraph or two at most. But if you are interested in pursuing it, read the instructions at the page I linked ... it's probably a good stub to have - it just needs to be done right.--BigDT 04:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

If it get's created it would show up the way I had it right? And for that matter could you help me suggest it so it get's done right?-- Hornetman16 04:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Well ... first, find every article you can think of that should be a part of that stub category. Don't create new ones just for the sake of having something to put in there - find ones that already exist where "scripture stub" would work better than what is already there. Once you have that, I can help with the proposal. --BigDT 05:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll get started on that tomorrow cause I'm getting sleepy. NIGHT!!-- Hornetman16 05:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Chris Benoit death.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Chris Benoit death.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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. — Moe ε 03:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Images

Do not under any circumstance replace free images with nonfree like the one you inserted. Do it again and I'll start handing out vandalism warnings. — Moe ε 03:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

That one's better cause it shows his face which is the purpose of a photo there.-- Hornetman16 03:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The preference of Wikipedia is to have no photo rather than to have a non-free image. (Moe could have said it more nicely, though, but he is right - uploading non-free images when there is already a free one = very bad.) --BigDT 03:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Meh, I could have been nicer. Then again, checking the history of the Chris Benoit article right now isn't making me kind :/ — Moe ε 04:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

LOL ... true that. I went through that feeding frenzy with Virginia Tech massacre and Jerry Falwell. I've done my bit for king and country - I'm taking this one off. ;) --BigDT 04:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Really? That's not what I read. I forgot what I read but it was but I know it wasn't that.-- Hornetman16 03:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but free images are prefered over non-free. — Moe ε 04:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Then where the hell can I put that photo on that article?-- Hornetman16 04:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere. We don't use non-free photos when there is a free one available. Wikipedia's mission is to create content that is free of copyright restrictions. WP:FAIR#Policy is the policy for non-free content. The specific requirement is #1 - we don't use a non-free image when a free one can serve the same purpose. Also, there are two other considerations - (1) Copyright law doesn't recognize Wikipedia's attitude of "if I want to use it, it must be fair use". We can't just go take random photos off of someone's website - if it is not a photo that was produced for the purpose of promoting the work in the media, we really have no legal claim to using it. If the copyright holder makes an image for their website, they are doing that to attract traffic (and thus sell ads or their product). By distributing their photo, we infringe on their right to profit from their own creative work. (2) As long as we are willing to settle with a non-free image, we will never get a free one. Most people with Wikipedia articles have a vested interest in that article being as nice as possible. So frequently, if we just ask for a GFDL photo, we will get one. But if we are willing to use a non-free photo, nobody is going to give us a GFDL photo because there's nothing in it for them. I hope this long-winded explanation helps. If you want the even-longer-winded version, take a look at my user page. ;) --BigDT 04:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

What if I got permission?-- Hornetman16 04:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for assistance with writing a letter to ask for permission. The short version is that simply having "permission for Wikipedia to use" the image or a "non-commercial use" release is NOT enough. We need for the image to be released under a "free license", like the GFDL. --BigDT 04:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

wm23

Don't keep adding Chris Benoit's death to the article, Eddie's last WM was WM21, but it isn't listed. Are you going to list Backlash as his last Backlash and One Night Stand as his last One Night Stand. Leave the trivia out of it. Darrenhusted 12:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

No need to get mad at me...all I wanted was a reason which you gave me and I agree with.-- Hornetman16 13:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

User:76.175.239.114

I think he should be permanently blocked cause he'll probbaly go back to the same crap after the block has expired.-- Hornetman16 03:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

• We don't really permanently block IP addresses, as they tend to be transient in nature anyways. Too much collateral damage - Alison ☺ 04:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I am patching this over from my talk page so you will see the answer. Alison said it perfectly. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 17:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

WWE pic

Why do you insist on replacing the current picture (which is fine and looks nice), is it because you just want the picture to be one you uploaded? The two look like they are the same pic, the only difference being yours is .png while the previous one was .jpg. TJ Spyke 03:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Click on the photo's instead of just reverting my edit and you'll see the difference it's the same way on the Brand pages and everyone agrees with those!-- Hornetman16 03:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Shark Boy

Read Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability. "[A]ny material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a source, as do quotations, and the responsibility for finding a source lies with the person who adds or restores the material. Unsourced or poorly sourced edits may be challenged and removed at any time. Sometimes it is better to have no information than to have information without a source". McPhail 12:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I Will report you if you don't stop! Despite what those policies say. If there were things likely to be challenged the admin would take care it. So stop or I will report you!-- Hornetman16 17:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Philippians 4:13

Hornetman, please note that I reverted your edit on Talk:Philippians 4:13 regarding the status of the page from sub to start. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Christianity/Assessment#Quality_scale in which you will see that this does not contain any of the required elements yet. Please continue to contribute on the main page and it will eventually reach this status on its own. Tiggerjay 21:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Ecw logo.gif

Regarding Image:Ecw logo.gif, I restored the PNG version of the logo on the Extreme Championship Wrestling article. PNG versions tend to be favored over GIF images - see Wikipedia:Image use policy#Format. Thanks. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading a transparent PNG version. I'm tagging the old logos for deletion. --Jtalledo (talk) 21:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Your Welcome!!!-- Hornetman16 21:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Warning

You are not to change an image's copyright status just so you can include it on your userpage, as you did here. It is a violation of the owner of the photograph's intellectual property, and it is not tolerated on Wikipedia, as well as being a likely violation of United States Copyright Law. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 01:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

In addition, you cannot simply perform copy-paste moves on Wikipedia. The license that Wikipedia uses (GFDL) requires attribution. You copied text from somewhere to User:Hornetman16/sandbox/Infobox championship/WWE Championship. The page has now been deleted as it violated copyright. Please, in future, make a note of what article you are copying from so as to not violate copyright. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 01:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I wanted it deleted anyway!-- Hornetman16 01:41, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I will NOT warn you again. Further tagging of that image as GFDL is in violation of our policies. "GFDL" is different to "permission given". You will be blocked if you continue. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 01:58, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Then what goes on there? What tag?-- Hornetman16 01:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The tag that's currently on it. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 02:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I told you to leave it alone. I've blocked you for three hours. You're not to violate someone's intellectual property in this manner. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 02:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Please unblock I was just trying to do the right thing by finding the right tag I'm sorry!-- Hornetman16 02:06, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

By randomly changing it, when your intent was to make it free so you could use it on your userpage? Despite the fact that I warned you not to change it? --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 02:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes I was trying make where I could use it on my userpage I'll admit that. But Iwas trying to find the correct tag because there's correct tag for everything and I believe no license isn't I won't touch it again I've got better things to do with the Championship pages! Please unblock me on those grounds.-- Hornetman16 02:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm assuming good faith and unblocking you. Something tells me I'll regret it. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 02:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

My IP is still bocked and I can't edit.-- Hornetman16 02:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thankx!!-- Hornetman16 02:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

USF Color changes

Your recently changed all versions of USF gold to the incorrect color. According to USF's own visual standards at http://usfweb2.usf.edu/ur/identity_standards.pdf and http://usfweb2.usf.edu/ur/logos/ , the official USF colors for the Web are Green: #336633; Gold: #CCCC99, which was my earlier revision.--BaRiMzI 02:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Please read this before putting the incorrect colors and reverting edits.--BaRiMzI 02:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

That CCC99 crap isn't gold! I'm reverting it so it is gold!-- Hornetman16 02:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Is there a problem here? --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 02:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

H says that USF gold for web is #CCCC99 which isn't gold I made it gold and he reverted it! I just trying my look correct not exactly correct!-- Hornetman16 02:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hornetman - chill out. BaRiMzI is quoting you the official colour standards here. We need to stick with these for a number of reasons - Alison ☺ 03:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thank you Alison.--BaRiMzI 03:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll leave it alone if you give me the policy that says so! If you don't I keep reverting!-- Hornetman16 03:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

The next time you revert, I will block you for edit warring. How's that? --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 03:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Read the links the other editor has provided. Colours have a very clear standard and remember that the colours we see on our display may not be the same as ones other people see, for a whole myriad of technical reasons. See white point, gamma correction, color temperature etc for the reasons why - Alison ☺ 03:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll quit now but I still want to see the policy!-- Hornetman16 03:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Policy? WP:3RR will do it. Read the links and learn up on colors. It's quite interesting - Alison ☺ 03:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Are school color's even alound to decorate the infobox with?-- Hornetman16 03:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

RFA

I have closed Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hornetman16 2. In the sole hour of its existance, you gathered 8 opposes. Now is not the proper time to run for adminship for you, seeing as you just came off of a hot dispute and have issues concerning fair use and images on Wikipedia. Please hold off for a couple months.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
