Trigger Man (video game)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Trigger Man (video game), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Trigger Man. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BusterFinger.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BusterFinger.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 21:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Palin Section Under Church

I saw your question about why Palin mention was deleted from the Wasilla article. She is mentioned under the notable residents section, and under the church section where she is listed as a former congregant. I think I understand the answer to your question re Palin on Wasilla. It is because she is not proved tied to any of the controversial church things, but I don't understand why the Wasilla Bible Church article was shut down, and the Wasilla Assembly of God was not, or why the difference between Palin's churches and Obama's that merits articles on the latter, but ot on the former. The thing making Wasilla Bible Church notble, and a permanent burn into the memories of everyone in SF and LA is- Per the Associated Press, et al, in 2008, the rural church announced that it would hold a convention to pray for God to convert gays into straights. Ref - http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jNQg39rgjbGe3663rXSnmIi4czCAD931F9180 /ref

• I will put this section on the talk page -

Wasilla Bible Church Praying for God to convert Gays into Heteros

Others have told on other talk pages that this is not uncommon for many churches. But I could find no info on any who do so in Wiki articles. I am from San Francisco, and I worked the soup kitchen at Glide Memorial Church every Sunday, but if such a prayer conference existed in the SF area, it would be the most heavily attended conference at any church, but not to do the prayers. I also worked for years consulting folks in Statistics at Stanford’s Hoover Institute, which is as conservative as it gets, but anyone there would think I was joking if I said this.

• 1. To make the assertion that this convention is not notable more objective. Can anyone direct me to a Wiki article where such a practice is described as existing in America?
• 2. Would the info go under the “Community Services” in the Wasilla Assembly of God church, not Wasilla Bible Church under Wasilla?

• Also, I will put this -

'Was your info on Wasilla Bible Church deleted? If anyone is getting their edits deleted since the Wasilla article is not the place for Wasilla Bible Church details, like are growing on the Wasilla Bible ChurchPlease don’t get into a war deleting and undeleting things. Remember, everyone is assumed to be editing in good faith.

Please put your info and references in this talk page section.

This edit caught my attention, and you may have made similar mistakes when you were linking to Jack Shea (director). This is a character who happens to be named Jack Shea, it is not the director.

Regarding dipute on Silkski article.

You forgot to state what the problem was in the article. You did not clarify what your dispute was. I can not change it if I do not know why you dispute and what part is a problem with you. Whenever someone adds a tag like that on a article, I believe that it is required to put in the talk page why the article has that pacific tag. If you let me know, I would try my best to change it to fit the standards more apropriately.

Deletion of John Milton Cooper article?

I already did a couple of fixes before I realized the extent of the issue. At least the Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft articles, maybe one other I don't recall. Generally, the "piped link" method I used would be preferable to creating redirect pages for all conceivable variations of the name (just a helpful hint). Of course, if the article should be renamed John Milton Cooper, Jr., or even just John M. Cooper, Jr., that's a separate issue, but the preference on how to link to the eventual article name holds. My understanding of WP naming policy is to use the shortest commonly recognized name that won't be considered ambiguous (e.g. if Cooper, Sr. was not notable enough for an article, the Jr. wouldn't be required), but I'm not exactly an expert on Wiki rules and policies so that may be wrong.

Bilateral relations articles

Hi. I notice that you have been creating articles on relations between pairs of countries. I don't know if you are aware of it, but a year or two ago there was a considerable row about these articles: some people set out, in effect, to create them for all possible combinations, others felt that stubs saying no more than "X-Y relations are relations between X and Y" were pointless, especially in the more extreme cases, and would be better merged to "Diplomatic relations of X" articles. There were many hotly-disputed AfDs where the same arguments were endlessly rehashed. In the end, a task force, Misplaced Pages:WikiProject International relations/Bilateral relations task force was set up, to try to thrash out agreed standards. I wasn't much involved, and I don't know what the eventual conclusion was, but the row died down, so I presume some compromise was agreed. Before creating many of these articles, you might like to check out that task force, read its talk page and maybe talk to some of its members. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:05, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
