kim possible episode numbers ...
[edit]It seems as though the episode numbers (upper left corner) are currently sort of random. I was thinking they probably ought to be numbered from 1-65 like they are here Does this sound correct to you? -- ProveIt (talk) 08:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've been playing around with the idea of numbering by airdate...but you can relabel them if you wish...
Jarwulf 20:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- My plan is to use the same numbers as in the kp-tome ... -- ProveIt (talk) 03:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

- none of the license tags I leave with TwotoTutor.jpg seem to be showing up. Will try again tonight
- Jarwulf 17:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- I tagged it as a {{tv-screenshot}}, I think that is probably correct. You can go to the image page Image:TwotoTutor.jpg and click edit to see how you do the tag. I'm not sure what you were trying before, maybe uploading it again? You can change the tag by editing the page (it's actually very similar to any other wikipedia page). If you have any questions let me know :) - cohesiont 18:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:CarTrouble.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 09:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Framegrabbing
[edit]I have a question for you, if you could help. I was wondering if you could tell me how to framegrab. If it helps, I have a dvd-player on my computer and the default program for dvd playing is PowerDVD. If you can help that would be great, if you can't that is ok too. --WillMak050389 04:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I don't seem to have that version of powerDVD but I will try to find one of those freeware programs somnewhere. Thanks for your time. --WillMak050389 14:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to track down the bill number for this and I'm not finding anything...was it ever even introduced in Congress? Thanks. Postdlf 18:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- All mention of the bill seems to have completely dropped off the radar after april, as far as I know it hasn't been introduced. However I did find that the Intellectual Property Enhanced Criminal Enforcement Act of 2006, HR 5921 covers much of the same ground and no one seems to be aware of this one, aside from the old fogies in congress who write all this stuff up Jarwulf 00:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Would you support deleting it? I don't see a need to document bills that never left the drafting table. I started List of intellectual property legislation pending in the United States Congress so I've been trying to organize these. Postdlf 00:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- If we know its dead I wouldn't mind, but since everyone's forgotten about it we'll have to check to see if it didn't just morph into another bill or will actually be coming up for a vote in the distant future. Jarwulf 00:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
cutting vs thrusting
[edit]I just remembered that talk pages aren't really supposed to be use for general subject discussion, but only for article discussion. Here is a response to your latest question.
Well, it isn't to say that cutting weapons were totally abolished at all. Swords like Messers remained popular in northern Europe, and the Renaissance saw the introduction of the famed Zweihanders, Katzbalgers, and Broadswords such as the Schiavona, all heavily cutting based weapons. On the battlefield, cutting weapons were extremely effective, especially the cavalry sabre, as you mentioned, in part because the amount of armour began to decline after the onset of effective firearms, meaning that warswords no longer had such a problematic time with reaching their intended target (it is also a important to understand that sword-central warfare was falling somewhat out of style at this point, leading up to the use of pike squares and firearm formations). These warswords could not easily defend against rapiers in the civilian duels because of the inherent speed of rapier combat, and the rapiers lost their effectiveness when in constrained battle conditions (from my understanding). Because of these differences, rapiers were left to use against rapiers (most of the time) in unarmoured civilian duels, while the cutting warswords went on in military (and occasional civilian) use until after firearms became the prevalent means of attack. -- Xiliquiern 02:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:UCTemplateLogo.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:UCTemplateLogo.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful
[edit]- Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
- "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
- We do not publish original thought nor original research. We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.
Reformulated:
- "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
- A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
- Material must be proportionate to what is found in the source cited. If a source makes a small claim and presents two larger counter claims, the material it supports should present one claim and two counter claims instead of presenting the one claim as extremely large while excluding or downplaying the counter claims.
- We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.
Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children).

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Stephen Miller (political advisor) are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Discretionary sanctions alert for articles and content relating to recently deceased or living people
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Attacks on other editors are violations of our civility policy and thus of the American Politics discretionary sanctions
[edit]I won't sanction you this time, however. Please don't do it again. Doug Weller talk 14:44, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
- Wow, what an honor. I never imagined I myself, or a tiny little edit would warrant personal attention from so high up, let alone from Wiki's resident Henry Jones Jr. But I guess, participation being what it is these days you'd be surprised who you'll find in positions and what they'll occupy themselves with.
- My specific edit was precisely about the construction of the page and not a general discussion of the subject itself. I was helpfully attempting to save User:Humanophage time and other users the headache of dealing with a pointless edit war. As for it being a so called 'attack' on other editors, Wikipedia is rife with such 'attacks' and assumptions of perceived bias, and call outs to the point where it is a Wikipedia institution, I'm surprised an ArbCom member, let alone one who appears to enjoy being an active participant in similar controversies so often, is unaware of it.
- These "attacks" are not only limited to talk pages and discussion but are also found within articles. As it is apparently Wikipedia's policy to allow editors to systematically engage in politicized pumping of article ledes. So groups they disfavor (ie perceived right leaning organizations and people) have the beginning of their articles frontloaded with negative sounding phrases and their more controversial aspects to give readers a negative initial impression in comparison to their opposition. Compared to the above and other examples that wikipedia does little or nothing about :(and these are mild since I'm too lazy to dig) my edit was quite innocuous, it didn't even personally call out or 'attack' anyone specifically. If you're afraid that Wiki political articles will rightfully be widely seen as biased and low quality to the point where you feel you have to censor even discussions about it, I'm afraid that cat has left that barn years ago. --Jarwulf (talk) 04:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- You are doing that again at Jorm's talkapge, while using the talkpage at Talk:Proud Boys for un-actionable expressions of personal opinions that are at odds with reliable sources. Acroterion (talk) 02:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
- Have you looked at his talkpage? In that place alone he regularly mocks other users. Calls them names. Mocks them for their 'feefees'. Posts replies that are meant to be taken as dismissive over and over again. I merely said this behavior (seemed) unprofessional when it intersected with me. If you can explain why the former is okay but what I did is completely beyond the pale. I thank you Jarwulf (talk) 02:43, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
- Your edit was properly removed as a forum-style post at a talkpage that gets a lot of that kind of time-wasting traffic. We don't have much patience for that. You don't get to retaliate. Acroterion (talk) 02:48, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
