Thanks for uploading File:Q&A logo C-SPAN 200.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Good work on the page. I made a couple changes (hope you don't mind): I updated the infobox to WP:WPRS specs, put the RefList in 2 columns (neater look) and tinkered slightly. If the changes aren't what you are looking for, feel free to revert. :) Otherwise good work! Make those changes "live". - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Video Library logo 200px.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

On 15 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article C-SPAN Video Library, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the C-SPAN Video Library offers a complete archive of the American legislative broadcaster's content since 1987? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it 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. |

Hey there, WWB! I am interested in C-SPAN. Mind if I work on your draft a bit? BurtAlert ( talk) 01:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I was the WCSP-FM GA reviewer, and i am taking a look at your draft. I edited some "puffing" out. I also wonder about "no C-SPAN host has said his or her own name on-air." Does not Steve Scully introduce himself at the start of "Washington Today"? Racepacket ( talk) 13:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your sensitivity about COI. Racepacket ( talk) 14:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Per your request here are some comments from me as well. After reviewing the version you drafted I woudl say its a huge improvement but here are a couple of notes about the article that might help
I have the utmost respect for C-SPAN's integrity and believe that you are doing a sincere editing job here. I just question whether the reputational risk to C-SPAN from having you integrate the criticism section into less visible components is worth the benefit. If it were me, I would not touch that with a 10-foot pole. I can just see the Fox News people having a field day with "C-SPAN Tries to Tone Down Wikipedia Criticism" headlines. If changes to the criticism section are made it should not be made at the prompting of anyone connected to C-SPAN. Racepacket ( talk) 02:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Blackboard logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Hi. In Dee Dee Myers, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Today and Vanity Fair ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

You have been mentioned. - Youreallycan ( talk) 19:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
On November 18 2011, Cracker Barrel was a short article with a lede and two sections: one giving a brief overview of what the company does, the other describing some of their more odious and nefarious behavior (which is plentiful). On that date, your draft was copied over the existing article, effectively making the article anew. (You didn't do this, it was done by another editor, but at your suggestion.) This new article buried this vital information under a mass of material such as "there are two separate menus: one for breakfast, the other for lunch and dinner" and "specialties include made from scratch biscuits" (thank you for linking that; I had assumed that their biscuits were shipped in from Taiwan like every other restaurant on the planet) "and a breakfast platter named "Uncle Herschel's Favorite" and yadda yadda.
I am glad that you pointed out that their mission statement says that "everyone who walks in our front door gets a warm welcome and a good meal at a fair price", though. It's just really really important to include corporate entity's mission statements. It's just really what we're here for. Especially in this case, to disabuse anyone who might have inferred that their mission is "poisoning America with inedible swill".
I'm fine with not mentioning every time they serve razor blades in their food, but if that's trivial, why is "a group of friends had eaten breakfast at the Lebanon location each Tuesday for over 20 years" of encyclopedic value?
It's not that any of this is terrible. Well, actually, it is pretty terrible. The massive landfill of trivia and noxious puffery sourced to PR Newswire, the company website, industry flacks, and cherry-picked small-town reviews is pretty depressing.
The real problem is what you did with the material on your client's nefarious activities. First of all, you buried it. With this many-fold increase in the material such as "Cracker Barrel is known to have 'extremely loyal' customers" and so forth, this very key material which is absolutely core to understanding this entity was reduced from about 50% to less than 10%, buried at the bottom of what is now a very deep article. Second of all, you weasel-worded and hedged the material to make it less damning than it properly ought to be. You're good at this. I see you were careful to note the.... er, statement: "the company's founder, Dan Evins, stated that the policy had been a mistake". ("The policy" referred to was of firing gay people and so forth.)
Oh OK a mistake.
Wow. That's a big mistake. Years! Until 2003! Company memo! I know how it is though. My company once had a secretary accidentally bump against a computer and it generated a fraudulent stock offering. So I sympathize.
This is not mentioning your financial puffery: "According to industry commentators Cracker Barrel has been consistent in its sales performance, and it has been well regarded by financial analysts". O RLY? Then why is Sardar Biglari's hair on fire? Is it sub-par operating margins, or the disturbing cash flow trends, or what? Well, I'm glad you discussed these problems in the article. Oh, wait.
I don't really hold any of this against you. A man's got to eat. Your client pays you more than the Wikipedia does, and a man has to know what side his bread is buttered on, right? It's only human nature. Everybody does it. We're grownups here. If it wasn't you, it would be someone else, right? Why leave money on the table? Why listen to a bunch of goody-goodies? I bet they're not driving new cars! And, you know, some of the problems I outlined have been corrected by other volunteer editors, so no problem! Hey, our time is free!
There's nothing than can be done about any of this I suppose, but maybe you could do me one favor? Could you stop with the self-satisfied and self-righteous pretense and requests that I approve of you? That'd be great, thanks! Herostratus ( talk) 08:03, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi WWB Too, I left some comments at the peer review for Cracker Barrel, hope that they are helpful. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or clarification requests. Thanks, Mark Arsten ( talk) 04:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
I've started up a peer review for Cracker Barrel right here. I've stated in there that, due to the whole COI issue, we'll be working on your draft version, which i've just a moment ago updated to the most recent edited version of the actual article, so we're symmetrical. So, you should probably watchlist that peer review and well, just wait for now. Silver seren C 05:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I think contacting the other users from the Cracker Barrel talk page would be a good idea, as long as they're actually trying to improve the article. I'm concerned that it would just lead to conflict, but I suppose it's better for us to take that necessary risk and deal with it if anything occurs. Hopefully not though. You contacting them would probably be for the better, yes.
As for your Steve Scully draft, I would like to try submitting it to Wikiproject Cooperation members for review. On the talk page or elsewhere. Maybe King will want to make a new section on the main page for it. But, either way, yes, i'd like to see how well we can get a review done as a Wikiproject first. All you really need is a few neutral eyes looking over it to make sure it's all sourced well and is written properly. Just from a quick glance over it myself, I can say that your draft version seems much better than the current state of the article in Mainspace. Silver seren C 00:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I've moved over the article, and copied the talk page discussion. I'd like for you to explain the exact nature of your COI there, or, if it's already declared somewhere here in your userspace, a link to that explanation will do. Great work on that article, btw!

The one big thing that we had yet to do with the draft was to expand the lede as a summary of the article. I've thrown up a rough draft lede in the draft article. Feel free to tweak it for wording and such. The second paragraph could certainly use another sentence of summary if you can figure out one to add in. Silver seren C 04:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
I've closed the peer review for Cracker Barrel and Qwyrxian helped me do a merge with attribution (we couldn't do a histmerge because of concurrent edits on both the draft and main article). Because of this type of merge, your draft article has to stick around, it can't be deleted, because its history acts as attribution for the changes made by merging the draft into the mainspace article.
Anyways, i've still got a few reference formatting things I want to fix up on it and then i'll get the GA candidate review going. Okay? Silver seren C 23:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi - A few articles on C-SPAN programs that I've been working on that you might be interested in: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1994 reenactments), American Presidents: Life Portraits, American Writers: A Journey Through History. I think Tocqueville might be next (or, maybe not next, but certainly on the drawing board). Hope you enjoy them. (Posted same thing on talk for User talk:Rjensen.)

Nice work on expanding Cracker Barrel Old Country Store! I still remember going to the one in my hometown. :) Keep up the good work! Ruby 2010/ 2013 00:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC) |
I'm very surprised it happened so fast, but User:MathewTownsend has started up the GA review for Cracker Barrel. He also has a few things he wants us to fix (and will probably have a few more besides). I'm going through the subscription needed tags, but can you look into the Corner Market stuff he asked about? If it's something that's already in a reference, then I would suggest just adding a comma and a phrase next to the first instance of Corner Market, explaining what it is, and that should be good. If it's not in a reference, I guess we should find another one and then do the same as I just said. Anyhow, yay, we're ahead of my perceived schedule on this. :3 Silver seren C 17:13, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

So, you should probably watchlist that peer review and well, just wait for now. Silver seren C 05:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I think contacting the other users from the Cracker Barrel talk page would be a good idea, as long as they're actually trying to improve the article. I'm concerned that it would just lead to conflict, but I suppose it's better for us to take that necessary risk and deal with it if anything occurs. Hopefully not though. You contacting them would probably be for the better, yes.
As for your Steve Scully draft, I would like to try submitting it to Wikiproject Cooperation members for review. On the talk page or elsewhere. Maybe King will want to make a new section on the main page for it. But, either way, yes, i'd like to see how well we can get a review done as a Wikiproject first. All you really need is a few neutral eyes looking over it to make sure it's all sourced well and is written properly. Just from a quick glance over it myself, I can say that your draft version seems much better than the current state of the article in Mainspace. Silver seren C 00:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi -- I've posed a couple of questions for you here -- I'd be grateful for your reply there. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 22:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Do you have this article on your watchlist, or do I need to pay you a visit every time I pose you a question on the article talk-page? Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 21:30, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
I've moved over the article, and copied the talk page discussion. I'd like for you to explain the exact nature of your COI there, or, if it's already declared somewhere here in your userspace, a link to that explanation will do. Great work on that article, btw!

Hi. When you recently edited Steve Scully, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nazareth College ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The one big thing that we had yet to do with the draft was to expand the lede as a summary of the article. I've thrown up a rough draft lede in the draft article. Feel free to tweak it for wording and such. The second paragraph could certainly use another sentence of summary if you can figure out one to add in. Silver seren C 04:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
I've closed the peer review for Cracker Barrel and Qwyrxian helped me do a merge with attribution (we couldn't do a histmerge because of concurrent edits on both the draft and main article). Because of this type of merge, your draft article has to stick around, it can't be deleted, because its history acts as attribution for the changes made by merging the draft into the mainspace article.
Anyways, i've still got a few reference formatting things I want to fix up on it and then i'll get the GA candidate review going. Okay? Silver seren C 23:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi - A few articles on C-SPAN programs that I've been working on that you might be interested in: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1994 reenactments), American Presidents: Life Portraits, American Writers: A Journey Through History. I think Tocqueville might be next (or, maybe not next, but certainly on the drawing board). Hope you enjoy them. (Posted same thing on talk for User talk:Rjensen.)

Nice work on expanding Cracker Barrel Old Country Store! I still remember going to the one in my hometown. :) Keep up the good work! Ruby 2010/ 2013 00:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC) |
I'm very surprised it happened so fast, but User:MathewTownsend has started up the GA review for Cracker Barrel. He also has a few things he wants us to fix (and will probably have a few more besides). I'm going through the subscription needed tags, but can you look into the Corner Market stuff he asked about? If it's something that's already in a reference, then I would suggest just adding a comma and a phrase next to the first instance of Corner Market, explaining what it is, and that should be good. If it's not in a reference, I guess we should find another one and then do the same as I just said. Anyhow, yay, we're ahead of my perceived schedule on this. :3 Silver seren C 17:13, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
