- Thanks a lot. I hope to make a significant addition. I've spread the word of Wiki to my regional skeptical group which has its fair share of very intelligent people. I hope some of them pay a visit and stay as well. TimothyPilgrim 03:34, Feb 21, 2004 (UTC)
Is the longer caption at counterfeit better now? --Merovingian ↕ Talk 23:58, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

This is a test for myself. TimothyPilgrim 19:23, Mar 22, 2004 (UTC)

- Yup. I see it now. Thanks. TimothyPilgrim 12:18, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)
Lord Love a Duck
[edit]Google lord-love-a-duck and you'll get a lot of comments and opinions. I don't know the origin but if I had to guess I would think it was a Victorian era Britishism. The phrase was still fairly current in the 1950s and '60s though not an everyday oath.
I note one site thinks it is a substitute for an obscenity, others tag it an expression of suprise. I agree with the latter, but think it may have originally been one of the myriad of phrases for those who didn't want to use "God's name in vain" or utter a curse. That is, "Lord love a duck, she's a beauty" instead of "I'll be damned, she's a beauty" or "God, what a beauty."
A study of the use of the use of vulgar (in the common sense) language is fascinating. It comes to mind that Dickens, in Great Expectations, has an old and profane sailor exclaiming a then common and potent oath over and over. Dickens (as Pip, the narrator) has the character yelling bitter phrases liberally sprinkled with "bless your eyes" but informs the reader that these weren't really the words the old sea dog was saying. -- Cecropia | Talk 17:18, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Sciatica
[edit]Though i was not the one who added acupuncture as the treatment method, but the fact remains it is an effective treatment method. This comes from someone who has seen it first hand. So I dont think that the removal was appropiate. vogon77 02:52, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
- I've moved this to Talk:Sciatica. TimothyPilgrim 13:05, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
liter/litre->L
[edit]We've been replacing liter and litre in auto articles with L to conform with scientific unit standards and to avoid confusion/localization disputes over which form to use. The nbsp looks nicer than just space since it keeps the unit with the number over line breaks... Hope this helps! --SFoskett 19:09, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
[edit]Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
untagged image
[edit]commons:Image:1982MB300TD.jpg has no image copyright tag. If you took this picture yourself or have permission to use it under an appropriate license please tag it as such. If not then please tag it for deletion.
- Done. TimothyPilgrim 14:49, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
Do you have those issues? The Sports Car International Top Sports Cars article is missing lots of data. Can you fill it in? Especially the "all time" list! Thanks! --SFoskett 13:16, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed I do. I started buying it last year, starting with the Best of the 1970's issue. I can work on that article no problem. TimothyPilgrim 13:38, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
Would you look over the changes I've made and fix any gaffes? --Wetman 01:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'm curious - why remove the description of the body-plan and the change from Devonian? I think those are good facts to include. TimothyPilgrim 16:50, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
Wikimedia Canada
[edit]Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in.

Spider-Man
[edit]Hello. :) Since you have been involved in editing the article Spider-Man, I wanted to let you know that we have nominated the article for "Good Article" status. You can view the review page, and if there is anything you can do to make the article better, please do so. :) There are a number of concerns to be addressed and some work to be done, so pitch in if you are able, make any suggestions that you think might be helpful, or at least just be there for moral support. :) BOZ (talk) 01:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Message regarding your use of the No Multi License Template
[edit]In case you are not aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has proposed that the copyright licensing terms on the wikis operated by the WMF – including Wikipedia – be changed to include the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) license in addition to the current GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) as allowed by version 1.3 of the GFDL. The community has approved this change with 75.8% in favor, and on June 15, 2009, the change will take effect.
You currently have {{NoMultiLicense}} on your user or user talk page, which states that your edits are licensed under the GFDL only. On or before June 15, this template will be changed to reflect Wikipedia's new licensing terms. If you accept the licensing change, you do not need to do anything (and feel free to remove this message); if you do not accept it, we regret that you will no longer be able to contribute to the encyclopedia. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#NoMultiLicense template if you have any comments.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eddie James (motorcyclist)
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Eddie James (motorcyclist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. RadioFan (talk) 15:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Take a pill already. I'm in the middle of creating the article! TimothyPilgrim (talk) 15:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- If you disagree with the deletion, you need to do so on the article's talk page. Your comments here are not likely to be read by the admin who reviews the article. See the instructions above.--RadioFan (talk) 16:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Tim- as one LDrider (list and hobby) to another, I'd suggest letting me move this to your userspace (User:TimothyPilgrim/Eddie James) until you have it ready for primetime. I don't know if you'll be able to make it meet the WP:N guideline- and that'll let you work on it without being bothered much. Let me know. tedder (talk) 17:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Eddie James (motorcyclist)
[edit]An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Eddie James (motorcyclist). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eddie James (motorcyclist). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.asqde.org/about_history.htm.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
[edit]Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:31, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited QuebecAir Flight 321, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hijacking (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Nomination of QuebecAir Flight 321 for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article QuebecAir Flight 321 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QuebecAir Flight 321 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ...William 14:20, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Henry Morgentaler
[edit]Hi there - you added Dr. Henry Morgentaler to the List of people from Ontario, but my recollection was that he was based in Montreal, which is corroborated by our article about him. He certainly had opened a clinic in Toronto (and another city or two in the west), but his home base was in or near Montreal. He is listed in List of people from Montreal already. I haven't undone your edit - I wanted to write this to you first, in case you had a reference that says he relocated out of Quebec. Regards, PKT(alk) 17:13, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank-you, that's a fair point. I guess when I was in Toronto, I associated him with that city, though I can see now his presence in Montreal was greater. I will remove the reference and located it to the Quebec equivalent page, if need be. TimothyPilgrim (talk) 17:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

- Or just revert anyway and begin edit warring. That’s cool too. Rusted AutoParts
- Done, as explained in my latest edit. The subject does indeed have notability as he has been widely reported in the media and, if you checked out the second reference included, has been acknowledged by the Prime Minister, Premier, members of parliament, as well as other national organizations. I'll reiterate that the FAQ provides for one month for an article to be written, the guy was only 17 at death... TimothyPilgrim (talk) 15:52, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve Jonathan Pitre
[edit]Hi, I'm Barkeep49. TimothyPilgrim, thanks for creating Jonathan Pitre!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for your article on Jonathan Pitre. Given his recent death the rules about WP:BLP still apply. The page needs to establish his notability in a WP:RS beyond the Ottawa Citizen.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Invitation to WikiProject Portals
[edit]The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.
There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.
There's a watchlist, of all the pages in the portal namespace, for viewing Related changes.
And more.
You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.
We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
See ya at the WikiProject!
Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 14:51, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you very much
[edit]The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 23:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

However, if somebody wanted to double check this in a couple of years time then a reference in an old edit summary is unlikely to be found and is therefore unverifiable. Much better to put it as an explicit <ref>...</ref> tag. Thanks again. Stepho talk 22:35, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I was short on time when I made the edit, so I at least put it somewhere until it can get a better position for the reference. Cheers! TimothyPilgrim (talk) 23:05, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

European Network of Forensic Science Institutes moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, European Network of Forensic Science Institutes, has no sources except its own website, and without 3rd party sources cannot remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 01:20, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (May 6)
[edit]- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:European Network of Forensic Science Institutes and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:European Network of Forensic Science Institutes, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
- If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Wiki Project Proposal for Forensic Science
[edit]Dear @TimothyPilgrim
I hope this finds you well. I am getting in touch as you were on the list of proposers for the Wiki Project Forensic Science. I was wondering if you might be interested in reviving the proposal? I am planning on applying for funding from the Royal Society of Chemistry for an outreach project to plug some of the knowledge gaps around this topic and/or make improvements to articles. We are particularly interested in translating the pages into minority languages such as Scots and Gaelic. This would be building on two previous applications to the same fund for physical resources for schools. It would be brilliant if I could leverage the project to find more editors to support the proposal and provide a sustainable legacy for the project beyond the funding. Deadline for the application is 9 September 2024, so we have some time to think things through.
What do you think? I'd also understand if your interests have moved on :-)
All the best
