Meh, these things happen - a lot of people miss that one because they think "Europe," I guess...Dewey 20:53, 8 November 2007 (EST)

uploading an image

Quick (and hopefully simple) question for you: how can (or can I?) I upload an image to put the Snell's_Law article I just made? Its not a picture of Putin (unfortunately), but its almost as awesome. It's a little diagram to illustrate the description I give in the article. Thanks for the help. --BillOhannity 17:33, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Sorry about the delay I've been out all day long with pep band... To upload you need to be given uploading rights. For now, I would politely ask a sysop to upload it for you. HelpJazz 21:20, 10 November 2007 (EST)

• I'd do it for him, if he joins the contest to help us kick Andy's....err, I mean wants to join the contest for the betterment of CP! Yeah. That's what I meant. --şyŝoρ-₮K^{/Ṣρёаќǃ} 21:26, 10 November 2007 (EST)

I'm afraid I can't, this coming week is going to be lousy for me in terms of exams and, well...me having too many of them. I do have a few articles that I plan on creating, but I doubt that I'll be able to get to them until after the contest ends. Sorry, but you'll have to kick Andy's "err" without me. Good luck! --BillOhannity 21:52, 10 November 2007 (EST)

• You get your image uploaded? --şyŝoρ-₮K^{/Ṣρёаќǃ} 22:13, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Nope. --BillOhannity 22:46, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Contest

HelpJazz, we need to get you in the upcoming Contest3, which starts tomorrow. Can you be a player? Please sign up at Contest3. Godspeed.--Aschlafly 21:44, 11 November 2007 (EST)

I would love to but unfortunately I am swamped with schoolwork right now. It's been hard to simply make the couple edits a day I make as it is. Thanks for asking though; perhaps if you have a contest during my winter break I will participate -- and kick some butt! HelpJazz 23:32, 11 November 2007 (EST)

HelpJazz, I know you are a good and keen user but could you please refrain from editing articles which are being edited during the contest. Thanks BrianCo 16:17, 13 November 2007 (EST)

I assume you are talking about the AmGov't links? I waited for a while and it looked like you were done. I will try to stay away from making actual content changes to contest pages, and I will try to wait until the author is done. But at the same time I can't just leave random characters sitting there. In the future I'll allow more time before I change it. HelpJazz 16:54, 13 November 2007 (EST)

Andy is looking for judges for the contest. I believe you expressed an interest earlier. If you are still interested, you can sign up on the team contest page. contest3 Learn together 12:17, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the heads up. I have signed up for the monumental task! HelpJazz 16:04, 19 November 2007 (EST)

It will be a VERY large task my friend! I have over 500 edits just on my own and you have about 16 people or so. ;-0 Learn together 16:24, 19 November 2007 (EST)

• No worries, the Team Captains can still go over their team's contributions and allow/disallow as well. --şyŝoρ-₮K^{/Ṣρёаќǃ} 16:35, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Any comment? --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 20:23, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Dilution

Dilution is an economics term, the definition we have sure isn't but that shouldn't be a problem. The definition of accretion is geological but that doesn't stop it being classed as a legal term. Andy suggests people have an open mind when reading such definitions. Kirkdale 14:19, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Greetings

Fellow Judge;

Welcome to the team ;) . Since no third judge has come forward we will have to agree. I will be requesting for the team cptains to select areas for the other team they would like us to look at. This will be a lot less time consuming and allow us to post a winner earlier.

Challenges are in, time to work. Geo.^Complain! 04:56, 24 November 2007 (EST)

Thank you for the effort that both of you put in. See you next contest? ;-) Learn together 01:24, 30 November 2007 (EST)

Block Vandal

Hi, please block "Bushbestpotus" a new user who is vandalising pages. Thank you Taj 14:27, 2 December 2007 (EST)

Someone beat me to it. Thanks for the warning though. HelpJazz 14:29, 2 December 2007 (EST)

North America

The empty sections are there to provide a particular layout or guide for the article. Same applies to all the continents. Hopefully they can be filled. Karajou 17:24, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Oh, I didn't realize that was intentional. I thought that nobody had just gotten around to it yet. My bad :) HelpJazz 17:32, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Not your bad at all! I started doing Europe, but other things got in the way. Karajou 17:33, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Genocide

This seems a fairly straightforward issue to me. I have seen no definition of genocide outside of this site's article that requires that genocide be carried out by a government. The UN has not defined genocide this way, and the State Department states explicitly that genocide occurred in Bosnia. [1] Based on these facts, I think the definition in the article should be corrected, and the Srebrenica massacre should be reinserted as an example of genocide. What are your thoughts? SSchultz 21:42, 13 December 2007 (EST)

I don't know enough about Srebrenica to know if it was genocide. I don't see the value in labeling anything as a "genocide". Call it a killing and then work on stopping it. All this arguing over what is and is not a genocide just ends up offending and distracting people -- in the mean time the body count rises. HelpJazz 22:43, 14 December 2007 (EST)

Page move/rename request

Is the movement/renaming of pages restricted to administrators? If not please will you let me know what to do. I believe that Scilly Isles should be renamed Isles of Scilly. Isles of Scilly is the formal name and is used in the UK post office format for the address:

http://postcode.royalmail.com/portal/rm/postcodefinder?catId=400145&pageId=pcaf_pc_search&gear=postcode

If you enter as an example "Hell Bay Hotel", "Bryher" on the above link it gives "ISLES OF SCILLY". Many locals find the name "Scilly Isles" irritating and consider it incorrect. Thanks. Barclay 09:02, 21 December 2007 (EST)
