---|---|
Now in its fourth year,
Ada Lovelace Day is an international celebration of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (
STEM), and related fields. Participants from around New England are invited to gather together at
Harvard Law School to edit and create Wikipedia entries on women who have made significant contributions to the STEM fields. Register to attend or sign up to participate remotely - visit this page to do either. 00:44, 5 October 2012 (UTC) |
First time, hope this is correct usage. 3dimen ( talk) 05:24, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
File:NCAA Banner 1982.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Toshio Yamaguchi ( tlk− ctb) 08:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello Sphilbrick—
I apologize if this isn't the most efficient way to reach you, but I was having trouble finding an alternative. I work for the Appraisal Institute, an Illinois Not-for-Profit. We educate current and aspiring appraisers in the methods, techniques, standards, and ethics of real estate appraisal. Among the variety of materials we publish is the Appraisal Journal, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal focusing on particular property types and their appraisal challenges. For the Fall 2012 issue, we are running a feature on accessory dwelling units, and I found a photo of the Simsbury Historical Society carriage house that would be an excellent example to show our readers.
The Appraisal Journal has a circulation of nearly 20,000 appraisers and potential appraisers across the United States. Your photo will appear on the cover of the Fall 2012 issue exactly as it does in the original (except for resizing). I see that the photo is free to be licensed under the Creative Commons license, but I would be happy to give you specific photo credit, if you could let me know what language to include in the credit. I will also send you a PDF of the cover once it is complete and a printed copy of the Appraisal Journal if you would like.
Please send me an e-mail at

to finalize any details or if you have any questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.208.196.2 ( talk) 16:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

The comment he objected to was an offhand slang term for dying, "kicked it", which he claims indicates a personal bias towards Oxford. (For the record I have a personal bias against aristocracy in general, but no more so for Oxford than for any other member of that blood-sucking class of useless twits.) The blasphemous expletive, which I used to indicate the ridiculousness of his accusation, is irrelevant to the issue. Tom Reedy ( talk) 15:51, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much again, User SPhilbrick. I really appreciate your kind advice concerning Tom Reedy, and I have already followed it. Please have a look on my recent editings on the Talk page of "Edward de Vere" and on WP:ANI. Best wishes, -- Zbrnajsem ( talk) 20:19, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Your welcome. I was actually planning on promoting the nomination to the set of hooks I just finished building, but reconsidered after I noticed what a nice looking article you had put together and that the article had an image with a free license. No promises that the hook will land in a lead slot, but at least it still has a chance.
For future reference, the easy way to add an image to a nomination after it is already created is to find another nomination with an image and copy the three line HTML block containing that nomination's image into your nomination (the <div> tag surrounding the image controls the image placement). Then all you need to do is update the image name and image description. -- Allen3 talk 20:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Just saw that you tracked down that article I pointed out - thanks! 198.228.201.159 ( talk) 03:37, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanx for your work on that citation table. It looks like a lot of work, even if done in Excel. I can't imagine that my clumsy cutting and pasting preserved tabs very well. -- Africangenesis ( talk) 14:19, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
![]() | On 15 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tara VanDerveer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Tara VanDerveer (pictured) had to take a one-year leave of absence from her position at Stanford to coach the 1996 U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball team? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tara VanDerveer. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Before you got to work, the article on a coach of the stature of VanDerveer was the next thing to a stub?? And now, the DYK aside, it's GA-level at least? Very well done. Ravenswing 02:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC) |
Yes very nice solid work on the article. -- Erp ( talk) 03:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Me? Baiting? Are you serious?!?! I think you will find I did not instigate the "fuck off" comment. Malleus posted the first comment which was addressed to me. Malleus had little reason to join in yet he posted a arrogant comment. He then responded with an unnecessary use of profanity which should not be condoned on Wikipedia under any circumstances.
"Seems like you learned nothing from the pig's ear you made of that MediaCityUK article Stevo. And so far as the content of the Architecture article goes, this is the top, so behave yourself"
Explain to me how that belittling comment is not "baiting"? I think you really need to look at conversation again. And Smithers vs "fuck off" is no comparison. I said that because I felt Malleus had little reason to butt in with a arrogant and irritating comment. Stevo1000 ( talk) 23:20, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, this is now twice you stated that I condone something. The first time with no evidence, the second time after I specifically said I did not. If you would like to make a point, you should try supporting it with evidence, if you have some, or stop saying it if it is false. Second, I specifically asked you to address the important distinction I made, you did not. I'm happy to have a discussion on this issue, but if you pointedly ignore my requests, then we aren't discussing. If you address either issue, I will respond, if you post without responding to either, I will remove as non-responsive. This is an important subject, and I would love to discuss it further, but I want to make progress, not simply read statements which ignore my polite requests. Just in case my earlier points weren't clear enough:

Hello. You said truth - some time ago (I was wrong). We discussed topic: Internet Freedom (and I was sure - it is about copyright). This is about human rights mainly. I found this here: http://vk.com/wall54619837_1003 (the official group of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia). His website: http://ombudsmanrf.org - with link to this official group (what do you think on this issue)? - 2.92.30.38 ( talk) 11:55, 18 October 2012 (UTC).
See the article: United Nations. Click External links. Click link with text: United Nations official homepage (top in External links). When you are already on the start page of the UN - need click link: Добро пожаловать (Russian section of the UN). In Russian section of the UN you can click to button Vkontakte (with the letter "В") - from right of the page and under the phrase: Cоциальные сети (Social network - by Russian). Do not fall in faint (when you will see). When somebody does not respect Human rights (he is contained in the Hall of Shame on legal grounds). I can help to all parties of this conflict (I wait). But nobody will wait long time in accordance with the instructions from the moderator of the community. P.S. SPhilbrick, I can self take all actions (the contribution of the professor needs to be restored - his high competence in the same time). But - when I will have guarantee (protection of illegal actions from admins of Russian Wikipedia). Illegal actions in our case: rollback and blocking. Okey? Fun fact: on this stage is implemented the restoration of reputation of two professors (Яков Юдельсон and Yaroslav Blanter). Thanks! And I ask again: Okey? Or other method .. - 95.29.18.155 ( talk) 11:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC).
status of the professor Яков Борисович Юдельсон. Approval): Версия 09:54, 6 марта 2011 and Версия 08:10, 7 марта 2011 from Yaroslav Blanter. All troubles for Wikipedia in the Hall with the murderer in top of the topic will be deleted. Moderator of the community gave the promise: Russian admins of Wikipedia are violators only. All bad links in social networks will be deleted also. Okey? Thank you! - 2.94.226.60 ( talk) 00:14, 3 November 2012 (UTC). |
