Firstly, enjoy your Wikibreak; come back clear-headed and ready to edit! Second, I noticed you live in New England, and are a DJ (awesome!), and wondered if you've heard of Wikimania 2006, which is happening right here in our fair city of Boston. I know it's a few hours' drive from where you are, but if you could participate in IRC chats, or volunteer to help with Wikimania, we'd really appreciate it. I enjoy working with you, and look forward to seeing you in the future. Happy wikibreak, Mysekurity 02:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I love the userpage! 02:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Fantastic work on the St. John's College High School article, it looks wonderful! Bahn Mi 21:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the additions of pictures of the Bendix and Thompson tropies! KillerChihuahua^?!? 13:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute your unsourced assertion that you ever sit on your "lazy ass"! If you expect such controversial claims to remain unchallenged, you should not use such a recognizable sig! No one even has to check your contribs to see that is a deliberately false and misleading statement. I am deeply disappointed in you for attempting to push this unsupported minority POV.

Thanks for fixing my ugly user page! I really appreciate it. I had tried to make it look nice, but I just couldn't figure it out! Thanks!Reggaedelgado 19:51, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a barnstar for converting me to ascii and HTML they are fantastic, thanks. I spent three hours this week trying to find just an ascii version, so I am delighted to have these in user space. Big smile on my face now, thanks. --Alf ^melmac 11:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny shit, I wish I still had one of the posters (the one with a swashbuckling floppy) that they sent out to universities during that campaign so I could up it to commons. Also, excellent work on the many aspects of warez (it's refreshing to see well written articles by people who have a clue). Nice userpage, too, 'cept the whole spiel about being conservative ;-P (at least you aren't a GWB fanboy). --Dragon695 18:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question about the above mentioned picture. You state it was taken by Utopium Photography, yet you claim to be the copyright holder. If this picture was not taken by you, but you are the subject the photographer has to release the copyright to you. Just like wedding photos, the married couple do not hold any copyrights, or infact any rights to the photos. Mike _{(T C)} 23:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dude... you have absolutely no idea what the hell your talking about. In the US, works for hire cannot be registered for copyright by the creator. See this pdf:

Under the 1976 Copyright Act as amended (title 17 of the United States Code), a work is protected by copyright from the time it is created in a fixed form. In other words, when a work is written down or otherwise set into tangible form, the copyright immediately becomes the property of the author who created it. Only the author or those deriving their rights from the author can rightfully claim copyright.

Although the general rule is that the person who creates a work is the author of that work, there is an exception to that principle: the copyright law defines a category of works called “works made for hire.” If a work is “made for hire,” the employer, and not the employee, is considered the author. The employer may be a firm, an organization, or an individual.

Note the section in bold. Nuff said.  ALKIVAR™ 19:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool userpage you've got! Gerard Foley 01:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the way I worded it, it sounded like he mixed his own records. I sat there for a few minutes trying to peice together a sentence that would be both grammatically correct and convey the correct message. "Not only did Oakenfold produce records, but he also mixed them." A few too many modifiers. The words but and also are both redundant but without them the sentence is screwed. Perhaps, "Oakenfold even mixed the records he produced for others" or something of the ilk? drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 02:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, wonderful userpage. Did you develop it or did you copmod a template? drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 02:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I subst'd some of the templates... and modified them to match the theme (the GFDL only and the Userpage templates) the rest I developed by hand. I'd be glad to give you any help you need developing one of your own if you'd like.  ALKIVAR™ 21:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you were the one who asked a little while ago for a report of young orphaned images? Here it is. Let me know if any tweaks are needed. --Interiot 23:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yours is the nicest userpage I've seen, in browsing several hundred. Nice work! Waitak 10:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit disapointed by my photo of a print, it was under glass, no lighting, so the flash is a problem, I tried to photoshop out as much as I could but I wondered if you had a program that could level out the background white as it gets real grey away from the centre. pretty please? :) --Alf ^melmac 22:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did my best to level out the flash, I also corrected the angular distortion so the frame around the sketch looks square now. I also reduced it to greyscale as color needlessly increased the file size for this image. If this is not what you wanted feel free to revert my changes.  ALKIVAR™ 22:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You run a fast and efficient ship there Alkivar :) I've just been appreciating it high res and zoomed in, that's a great improvement. Thanks. --Alf ^melmac 23:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Get it? A chocolate bar for Alkivar? Anyhow, keep up the great work, you've contributed a lot to Wikipedia. :D (another ackward attempt at comedy by TBCΦtalk?)

Thats such a dorky joke... but it made me smile ... thanks for the thought.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 18:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A well deserved barnstar for you, for your creation of the List of units using the B-26 Marauder during World War II. It helped me get rid of some red links on my own pet project...List of United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons. Cheers--Looper5920 10:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Been meaning to give you one of these for a while now. I think I have agreed with you on 99% of every Wikipedia discussion we have both participated in, even on the really controversial ones that I am often in the minority of. It's good to know someone else in the project shares my views on so many topics. VegaDark 04:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might want to know about this, it has the same goals as Wikipedia:WikiProject Photography, but is better organized. --Gphoto^talk 19:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have to respectfully disagree with your decision to remove the tag from Image:Vectrex 3dimager.jpg. It's not that rare. And you don't have to own one to take a picture of it. —Chowbok ☠ 01:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See User talk:Michaelh2001. I cant see any warnings nor image uploads in September so I presume an error? Hopefully you're still around?!  Glen  07:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to be as fair as possible and follow all the rules. I have not been warned previously about anything and nobody else uses my computer. I have checked all the articles I watch and/or have created or added to and nothing I've added has been reverted. Please discuss with me any issues you might have that I may have overlooked, otherwise I will assume, as Glen did, that this was an honest mistake on your part. Thanks. Michaelh2001 08:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you deleted the article Google Sightseeing, ([2]) you restored it, and then someone else deleted it again in the period from Sept 30 to Oct 11. This article has been around for a long time and I couldn't find any vfd discussion on it. I think it belongs in Wikipedia as it dicusses a well-known blog. I was wondering what happened. --Albany NY 03:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it without an AFD as webspamming... the DRV review of that deletion is here and it endorsed my deletion of the article. As for why I undeleted it... Its common to undelete during an articles term on DRV so that people can see the subject of the debate. As DRV backed my original decision up it is once again deleted.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 05:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually bug people about their votes, but you seem to be under the impression that FloNight has been an arbitration clerk for 3 years? She was appointed 3 months ago [3]; in fact, the clerk's office was only formed in January 2006. I do agree that too long an association with arbitration matters could produce burnout, but that's not the case here. Thanks. Thatcher131 16:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No i'm quite aware its only been a few months... but a few months of dealing with the ARBCOM nightmare is enough to stress someone... a full year is enough to make anyone burn out. I really like FloNight's contributions to wiki in general... Flo is someone I dont want to see wind up on an indefinate wikibreak due to stress.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 16:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a friendly note to say I reverted your prod tag on the Zanta article. Please see my remarks on the Talk:Zanta page and address your concerns to the section I've created there. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. BFD1 18:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
