You may want to review the guidelines for uploading images at WP:IMAGE, as I have some concerns about the image you uploaded. Firstly you claim the you own the work, which was originally uploaded to rodentfancy.com. Does this mean you are the site's copyright holder, A. Gangi, or the original copyright holder. I just want to make sure that you are okay with releasing this image under a CC share-alike attribution license which is less restrictive than the original license on rodentfancy.com because this new license allows for commercial use. Additionally, you provided the site but did not provide a link to where the image can be found, it would be helpful if the image description page linked directly to the page or pdf. I just want to clean up the licensing issues to prevent your image getting deleted as I've been waiting a long time for a picture of a downunder :) Happy editing! -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 02:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm the site's (c) holder.

The original is here: http://rodentfancy.com/pets/adoption-information/available-rats/ but as that page will change with litters, I didn't think I should link to it?

Unless mistaken, I understand that credit for the image must be given if used, and as it is reduced in size from my (unpublished) original, the CC is ok with me for this particular image.

Thanks for checking!

I've updated the image description and it's good to see someone join the fray :) Maybe later you can help me get Lab rat, Brown rat, and Rat into more respectable articles? -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 06:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you replaced that poor image with one from your site. I put the original back up, but I do think that an image with just a rat may be the best choice. I've left details at Talk:Fancy rat#Lead image and look forward to your comments, and hopefully, to your new upload. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 00:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem; I replied there. --6th Happiness (talk) 02:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, nice to meet you, I recognize you from when you used to chat on IRC. I dont remmeber what my name was then because I've had so many. Do you still use IRC at all? Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 19:55, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey what's going on! I've proposed a new WikiProject Rodents over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Rodents. I think you'd enjoy it, so feel free to add your name and any comments there. I am soon going to start working on either Brown Rat or Rat... I'm thinking the former would be easier. But it would be nice to have some help. I know you have access to a lot of useful images and information and look forward to collaborating with you because I suspect you have a strong interest in seeing those articles improved. Happy editing! -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 00:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, and thanks! --6th Happiness (talk) 01:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just a friendly reminder that you're on 3RR at the Autism Every Day article. As I told GzRRk 4 over at ANI, I strongly recommend a third opinion and/or bringing the discussion to WikiProject Films. I don't want to see either of you get blocked over something like this. Thank you, MuZemike 23:31, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why am I on 3RR, but [GzRRk 4] who first began this by deleting edits he disagreed with, and would not work with me to improve the section, is not? --6th Happiness (talk) 00:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

just coming here to say the same ...please stop the edit warring. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:34, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're stating, or why you said on the talk page that you were currently blocked: I see no indication that you are. All editors are subject to WP:3RR; it is one of Wiki's most inviolate policies, and one that will quickly get you blocked. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MuZemike said that I was "On 3RR". I took that mean something akin to "On Probation"- like that you cannot go to certain places / do certain things, or you will get a worse punishment. I thought that I was being told I could not edit the specific page Autism Every Day and that if I tried, I would be blocked from being able to edit anything on the site. I'm sorry if I missunderstood. --6th Happiness (talk) 05:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think what he intended to say was that you had reached three reverts-- a warning that another revert would result in a block. However, it's important to read WP:3RR and understand that three reverts are not an invitation to edit war: once you've been reverted once, you should discuss on talk. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So it was more like "at" or "reached" 3RR; thanks for coming back to clarify. --6th Happiness (talk) 05:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you REALLY like rats (*crosses out rats*) rodents. That's cool. I've never seen (well, not in the literal sense) or heard of anyone who likes ra-rodents so much. It's cool! =) ★♛iluvselenagomez1234♛★ 03:46, 27 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iluvselenagomez1234 (talk • contribs)

Greetings! Since I found your name on the Notice board for autism-related topics, I figured you might be interested in the recently created WikiProject Autism. Muffinator (talk) 21:48, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 6th Happiness,

My name is Grace and I'm a student at American University in Washington, DC. I am taking a class on Wikipedia and I was wondering if you know why the Wikiprojects Autism has gone inactive.

As an outsider looking in I know that the statistics and terminology in the field of Autism are constantly changing. With the prevalence rates of Autism increasing, shouldn't the public be interested in the topic now more than ever?

What has been your experience working on the Autism-related pages?
