[edit] My login blocked
Hi! I just made a major change here which seemed worth my time considering the skimpy and overly narrow focus of the original source articles. Template:I2I know you're into the international side of matters, and it's a lot more relevant that way now. Template:ISince you're my sole contact over here (I know of Template:Ut too, I guess), and my log-in is currently blocked (corrupt password? I won't know til I get home to see email) I thought I ought to flag the item and request backup copy edits for style, etc. here. Template:I2Happy holidays! Best wishes, Template:Ut and 24.128.38.95 17:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

FellowWikiNews is whishing thou a Merry realised they had and therefore DEMANDS you have yourself a Merry Christmas... NOW! Failure to comply will result in going to jail with Santa. (Note: Santa is Satan spelt backwards)! Christmas Story (Children Friendly): So kids, is Santa Democrat or Republican??! Often depicted as an obese man wearing a tasteless red, ermine trimmed suit, Santa Claus is a self-employed Caucasian male who's been married to the same woman for several centuries. It appears likely that he is a churchgoer, insofar as he is a Catholic saint and a former bishop. It has to be assumed here that Claus was released from his vows, or else he would not have been married. Frequent arguments have erupted over the political affiliation of Claus. Ten years ago, Dick Cheney inadvertently dealt a savage blow to the morale of the Republican Party when he misidentified the political affiliation of Santa Claus in his best-selling book, Parliament of Whores. "Santa Claus," he said, "is a Democrat." However it is perfectly obvious from his demographic profile alone that Santa is in fact a Republican. This assessment is often rebutted by Democrats with Anne-McCaffery counter-analysis: Santa Claus has no children. High-achieving professionals without children trend Democratic. While the Clausian canon does not specifically address the issue of Santa's children, numerous extra-canonical sources suggest that Claus did, in fact, reproduce. Numerous Christmas TV movie specials alone support this point. Santa is renowned for an aggressive adherence to a binary naughty/nice list, which suggests an impatience for nuanced moral positions that betrays his Republican preferences. Santa's mere willingness to define individuals along a naughty/nice axis demonstrates his indifference to the philosophical stance of, say, The New York Times. And note that no canonical or extra-canonical Clausian text indicates that Santa ever attended college or, God forbid, graduate school. THE END!!! FellowWikiNews approves of this story. |

[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikinews pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four w:tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the w:Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 06:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] You're the last username I expected to see
I'm back on Wikinews for 15 minutes, and your username pops up in recent changes. What a pleasant suprise! - Borofkin 20:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I won't be here for long either. I'm a long dormant contributor, but I happened across a little bit of mayhem while I was in NYC and decided to do some reporting. - Borofkin 22:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm on holidays... or "vacation" as you call it in this country. I was wandering the streets aimlessly (as I tend to do when I'm on holidays) and I happened across 45 fire trucks and about 300 firefighters, all looking skyward. - Borofkin 23:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for helping to revert 131.123.177.115's vandalism. He has now been blocked for 24 hours. --A101 - (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the issus of my header in firefox. I use safari so haven't checked on that browser. --A101 - (talk) 16:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Note something
You can independently specify what exact license it was in the actual rationale, but anyway - we kinda do the same thing on the English Wikipedia, we redirect noncommercial licenses to a speedy deletion automatically. But here, you got the fair=use paramater. If you specify it (and you have a proper fair use rationale and stuff) in place, it removes the warning. ViperSnake151 (talk) 23:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio?
IF you're just destroying Imbox, you better destroy Template:Ambox too cause it's also a copyright violation. ViperSnake151 (talk) 02:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Templates
I don't think that templates (nor tables or infoboxes) or anything constructed with the mediawiki software constitutes copyrightable material. The content is what is the intellectual property, not the wiki-code that constructs the little boxes. I suggest you stop tagging these for speedy and open a proper discussion on the Wikinews:Water cooler. --SVTCobra 17:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- "All text created after September 25, 2005 is available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License unless otherwise specified." - this is in the footer. --Skenmy(t•c•w) 17:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Amgine, by that logic we cant use the Mediawiki software at all because it too is GDFL. And no I did not suggest discussing the the implementation/non-implementation at all. I suggest we talk about copyrights on templates in general, at the watercooler. --SVTCobra 17:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well right now you are having a scattered discussion on multiple talk pages and the watercooler would certainly be better. If you think foundation-l is even better, then do it there, but I maintain that the template-code is not seperately copyrightable from the rest of the mediawiki software, but go ask the foundation. It seems to me, however, is that what your really interested in is preventing the templates from being used, and you are using the copyright as a reason to stop them. --SVTCobra 17:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
