Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you.
Hey thanks for that. I had never seen a human vagina before. Unlike User:LuckyPanda, I am not friends with this user (or am I?), thus I find it wholly bizarre when he "vandalizes" my page. J. Charles Taylor

Hello Wiki Friends

Vandalism of User:LuckyPanda
[edit]This message is regarding the page User:LuckyPanda. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. Thanks. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for refering me to the welcome page. It was very helpful (see sarcasm). I shall explain. My page (User:Eclectek) was vandalized by Lucky Panda. You would know this if you were to check the history on User:Eclectek. We were joking with each other. Me/Eclectek/Chad = "real life friend" of Lucky Panda! I left a warning against vandalism on Lucky Panda's discussion page and have since deleted it, as it was all a laughing matter. I'm glad my test worked to prove that you are not ready to be an admin. Thanks. Chad 02:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Chad, I would like to apologize for calling your edits vandalism as that is what they appeared to be. I understand that it was all good fun. I did not realize that you in fact go to Jesuit and are on the yearbook/newspaper staff. If I had looked at your user page and realized who you were (I know who you are) then I wouldn't have bothered leavng you the message and everything,and would have just let you guys sort it out yourselves. Although it was just good fun, vandalizing each other's user pages probably isn't realy the best idea because it could be mistaken as real vandalism. By the way, Chad, I do not think I am ready to be an admin. Again I apologize for my mistake, but vandalism is no laughing matter. Looking at your contributions,I would just like to say that you have done a very fine job improving the Jesuit article and I hope you keep up the good work. Have a nice day! Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 21:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Dustimagic and I, Chad/Eclectek have resolved this matter. Chad 01:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm glad this is resolved. I wish you best of luck as well on both Wikipedia and for college admissions. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 03:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Blocking Jesuit IP
[edit]I would like it blocked myself; however, when the Jesuit IP is blocked we can't edit either even when we are logged on if we are using the Jesuit connection. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 13:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I might be wrong but I think User: Polanco is behind a lot of the vandalism coming from the Jesuit IP. I know he was joking around on my user page, but I still do not appreciate his unconstructive "anonymous" edits. Polanco's vandalism: 1 and 2 (notice the one quote where he wrote his name using the Jesuit IP). Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:28, 18 January 2006 (UTC)- I sent the following remarks to User: Polanco (Note: If you know who is behind this please tell them to stop):
- I did not do the vandalism on your user page nor did you do the vandalism on mine as is obvious by what has happened to our pages. I'm not sure who is behind these acts but I know it is not either you or me. Who ever is doing this is in a sense a "double vandal" as they are not only vandalizing user pages, but then also writing other people's names with the vandalism. The only thing we can do is remain calm, and not get into a blame game. Again, I apologize for saying you did the vandalism as it said your name, but it said your name next to the quotes. I promise I did not vandalize your user page and sign it because that would be just plain stupid. Please also note that I was not at school on Thursday or Friday of this week when the vandalism occured, therefore I could not be using the Jesuit IP to do such actions. --Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Hey, I noticed you were on! Good work with the Jesuit Dallas Museum its been needing to be cleaned up/reworded for a while. Cheers! Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 19:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
JCP2 is here!
[edit]At last after much request JCP2 has been created. If you don't know JCP2, is a special project dedicated to the development of the article into a featured article. JCP2 is not a WikiProject but rather a unique place to discuss and plan out the development and collaboration on the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas article. JCP2 is an effort to move beyond the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas talk page and create a forum for improvement and growth of the article. Please add you name to the list of participants on the project page. Thanks and I look forward to your help and hard work. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
UA userbox deletion
[edit]I motioned to delete it as per what had been discussed by LuckyPanda and I. Listen, I have no problem with the userbox except that I have some doubts that it will be adopted by UA students. It would have been best to have created this userbox like the Jesuit one. That is, after a group of editors from the school has been established. If you wish to keep it then vote for it to be kept. The good news for you is that I think no consensus or a keep vote will probably be reached on the template as many voted on the false knowledge that it had only been around for a week rather than over a month. Thanks. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 22:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

White Rock photo
[edit]Hey, where exactly is the photo you're talking about at Talk:White Rock Lake?
By the way, White Rock Lake happens to be the article we're "cleaning" this week over at WikiProject Dallas cleanup department. Thanks for the help! drumguy8800 C T 23:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ooos... looks like my edit didn't save. I fixed it, re-added the photo. Chad 00:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey I got a reprimand a few minutes ago about Flickr images. First, you need to use {{cc-by-2.0}} instead of {{cc-by-2.5}}, you need to link to the actual image and the user, and on my own request (though I'm going behind and categorizing anyway), add [[Category:Images of Dallas, Texas]] to the bottom so that they'll appear in this category. If you'd like a photo description to copy, I made the description over at Image:White Rock Lake 4.jpg up to snuff. I also went behind you and fixed your Bath House upload. anyway, thanks for all your help getting photographs up of Dallas. Are you interested in actually joining WikiProject Dallas? drumguy8800 C T 01:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox
[edit]Hi, there was a typo in your sandbox; I've moved it to User:Eclectek/sandbox. Melchoir 16:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey Alansohn! Since you recently restored part of the article, I just thought I'd let you know that I moved the tnavbar on the Jesuit Secondary Education Association navbox. It now rests on the bottom right of the box so the title is centered. Tell me what you think. Eclectek C T 17:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's fine. Not having it there at all makes it so much harder to view the source, or make any necessary additions and corrections. As long as it's there, people should be able to find it. Alansohn 18:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Happy I could be of assistance with the beautification of this template. The "off-center" problem was one that I encountered myself and so I came up with Template:Tnavbar-header and that so far has been a decent solution. Take it easy. :-) (→Netscott) 19:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, I notice you've uploaded some nice original photos. Have you participated in the Wikimedia Commons yet?

WHINSEC AND FOREIGN POLICY
[edit]IN RESPONSE TO YOUR POSTING WHINSEC
The school is frequently accused -> the school is frequently cited: this creates a more NPOV statement.
SOA was frequently accused but WHINSEC is not. The problem is its an article about WHINSEC and not SOA. The seperation between the two is blured so one would think that an accusation against SOA was also a legitimate accusation against WHINSEC. While you might believe the two schools are the same continuous identity they are not. If you want to be critial of the school be critical of WHINSEC and what its doing now, today, and not some ancient history about something that may or may not happened at SOA decades ago.
"While the SOA was still active over ten congressional investigations took place without any evidence of wrongdoing be uncovered": I've never heard of these investigations. If you can provide citations for this, please re-insert it into the article.
I'll ask about references to this. What would be wrong in stating that even though over 60,000 students attended classes at the school not one can be found to support the false allegations that torture techniques were ever taught. Just for the record WHINSEC has never in its entire existance ever taught interrigation techinques of any kind. Again if this resource is meant to be an up to date resource for topics as they currently stand why is decades old accusations being implicitly procliamed as current truth.
You claimed in your response that I reverted the fact that human rights training was now mandatory. I did not. As the article stands now, it says that 8 hours are required. It states that in the past, only a few took the classes as they were not required.
That's not accurate. A minimum of 8 hours are mandatory training for all students even those who only attend a two week school. The making of it to be a mandatory element was implemented when the training was developed and introduced. I actually sat with the JAG officer in his office and discussed the role and content of that training and how it was being developed.
I reverted the statement that the "quite often the mantadory 8 hours is exceeded" in human rights training. There's no evidence to support this.
Yes there is because the number of hours of mandatory human rights training is included in the course description of each class. OK so if I post those classes and the required element of each course is that satisfactory.
You said "According to a member of the Board of Visitors..." That refers to you and is original research. Original research is not allowed on wikipedia. Find an article to cite.
Why? If I write and article and get it published would you accept that. Can I post a resume somewhere which makes me a reliable witness to actual training I've personally observed and participated in. The article is only as good as its sources, writers, and the publication. You accept hearsay from SOA Watch but not first hand personal testimony from a reliable source who not only observed it but was actually participating in it. Can I introduce myself as a BOV member and testify as to what I've seen and heard?
I summarized your discussion of the invitation to visit the school to "At the SOAW vigil in November 2006, invitations were given to the public to visit the school." I'd like to see this expanded to something that explains the process of visiting, what visitors see, who they speak with, etc.
OK. I will also list the number of people who took up the invitation. Is there anyway to have a downloadable pamphlet about that process availabe on the website? The process is as simple as calling the school's number and making arrangements to come to the school. At the protest they circulate flyers and make open invitations to thsoe attending. Last year I asked SOA Watch to extend the invitation to all those they were encouraging people to come and protest and particulars. Funny though, I don't think they said anything about it.
You had speculated that students not electing to take human rights classes in the SOA may be reason that training is mandatory in WHINSEC. Wikipedia is not open to this kind of speculation, so I removed it.
I did no such speculation. The training was never available or even created until after SOA was closed. How could one not elect to take something which wasn't available?
You completely removed the section on the training manuals that advocated inhumane treatment. These documents are proven to have existed by amnesty international and the washington post. That paragraph was even cited correctly. That kind of reverting cannot be tolerated.
And what year was that and just how is that related to WHINSEC? The documents are proven to have existed. Yes. However, the documents were never reviewed nor approved by SOA and came as part of a suggested additional reading list from another school. The documents were never used as part of the SOA training ciriculum. As soon as they were brought to their attending they removed them from the additional reading list. Are these facts being made clear by the entry. Or is the suggestion that the materials were actually being used as instructional material in the classroom and wait a minute, that's about SOA, what does that have to do with WHINSEC. WHINSEC has never taught any interrogation techinques in its history and has translated every publication it uses into English and reviews each one for any possible objectionable material. Say, can this fact be included in the article?
I changed your sentance from "Each year a number of protestors are arrested for purposely violating the law and forcing their arrest in an attempt to create more anger against the school." to "Each year a number of protestors are arrested and prosecuted for acts of civil disobediance including trespassing onto federal property in an apptempt to create more awareness for the SOAW." This sentance attempts to eliminate bias.
Finally, something we can both agree on. Yes, your right it was biased. I just wish you were that careful about the rest of the article which is so very biased against the school for a lot of the same reasons.
You wrote "It is now also reported that some college professors give students credit for attending the protest." Provide citations or this cannot stay.
Again I could list the college and the professor but unless its printed up in an article somewhere you won't accept it. Right? Again, if I write an article and have it published can it be used?ChaplainSvendsen 18:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Dimple
[edit]I've undone your recent edit to Dimple, as it appears that the source you provided was not the one you intended. At the time I checked it, it was about a surgical technique (with graphic photographs - thankfully I'm studying to go to med school and can stomach such things!) and did not mention dimples at all in the introductory paragraphs. Perhaps you copied the wrong URL, or perhaps URLs at the website are not always static. The information you added sounds interesting, so if you can find the actual source you'd intended to post then I hope you will re-add it. You look like a legit editor and not some troll who intentionally posted a link to potentially shocking images, so I thought I'd give you a heads up so you'd know why I undid your edit. --Icarus (Hi!) 15:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you too for your editing presence throughout the page. I am new to wikipedia and have taking a great deal of time learning the system. To answer your question, Yes the correct name of the festival is "Voodoo Experience", if you could change the title of the article that would be great because I do not know how, also there needs to be a link where viewers will be redirected from things like "Voodoo Music Experience" "Voodoo Music Festival" "Voodoo Festival" and "VMX".

Piragua
[edit]Eclectek, thank you for the kind words. Since you have been doing some editing to the article yourself, I would like to share with you the following:
I was invited by the government of Puerto Rico last Memorial Day where they paid me tribute. Now get this, The last time that I visited the island was 18 years ago and this was the first time that my family went with me. Therefore, one of the first things that I did was to take my granddaughters to enjoy their "first" piraguas. When I returned to the states, I realized that articles had been written about all sorts of frozen deserts, but nothing on the piragua, not even a decent website article. So, now you have the story about how a military historian ended up writing an article on the piragua (smile).
I agree with you, about the trivia thing and I personally hate trivia sections, what I'm going to do is integrate those facts into the article. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Whiterocklakeariel.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Whiterocklakeariel.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

The file File:Helpmetravis.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Orphaned file with no clear usability on project
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Jarould talk 02:03, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
