For the record

In reference to your comment on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pilot (House)/archive2, Featured articles are not chosen based on subject. They are chosen based on the quality. The articles length and topic are not a factor. A good example of articles that are not chosen based on topic is the Exploding whale article. To sum it all up: it's quality not quantity.

Re:Misunderstanding

Hello there, I'm afraid that type of information can be seen as inappropriate for an article. Wikipedia tries to be as factually accurate as possible and information like that which you added is unverifiable. Thinking of it logically, did someone go around and ask each and every person there to see if they were gay? And even then, would the population all have been honest? It's for these reasons I reverted you additions to the article. -- Sagaciousuk ( talk) 06:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Also:
In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

Deleting articles

Hi there, you left a note on Devin (The Office) for the article to be deleted, which should be carried out shortly. In future, please do not leave a page like this as this gives the false impression there is an article there when there isn't. Please either move the article to a new title (as would have been appropriate in this case), redirect it to another article (if you would have found that the article already exists) or have the page deleted by an administrator (in this case, you could have placed {{ db-author}} on the page as you were the only contributor).

Notability of OfficeTally.com

A tag has been placed on OfficeTally.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{ hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

License tagging for Image:ImpatientBarnstar.png

Thanks for uploading Image:ImpatientBarnstar.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Regarding Deletion of a Tag on Devon's (The Office) Entry

I am not bound to discuss removing the tag. Here is a quote from the tag's disclaimer:

"You may remove this message if you improve the article, or if you otherwise object to deletion of the article for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, it should not be replaced."

Notice the wording. "If you otherwise object...for any reason." I am told that it "helps" to explain why I feel the object should not be deleted. I don't wish to help, I wish for Devon to remain on Wikipedia.

I see you're a Duke fan. That, along with your desire to delete Devon, is unfortunate.

A suggestion

In May 2005, Durham School of the Arts performed The Laramie Project, about a homosexual being beaten and killed. Ten members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church came from Topeka, Kansas to protest. They were met by over 200 counter-protesters. In fact, counter protesters out showed the protesters 10 to 1. The actors and producers were given the Independent Weekly's Valor Award for ignoring protests by Phelp's group [1]. Victuallers 11:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Fair use rationale for Image:WRAL Logo.jpg

Image:WRAL Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Importance rating

The NC State main article received a "mid-importances" rating while the NC State Wolfpack article received a "high-importance" rating. I am not sure what criteria are used to judge the importance of an article, but that seems backwards to me. What do you think?

GAN on hold for Climate of North Carolina

I have went ahead and put the GAN on hold for Climate of North Carolina. It just needs a few tweaks here and there to get up to GA status. It would be a good idea to include a few more references, or use the same one more than once using <refname=example/>. You also should include some information about the state's severe weather climatology. I suggest using data from Raleigh's National Weather Service office for detailed information, and the extremely useful (for all things) National Climactic Data Center database, for hard numbers and descriptions of events after about 1990. I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by North Carolina, especially Raleigh. Keep up the good work! Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 03:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply

The weather section is the one that needs more references, but even though I didn't see any controversial comments, cite everything in the Global Warming section. For the severe weather, look at List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks for tornadoes in the state, and add them in under a severe weather section. Just include general severe weather climatology (deadliest, costliest). Just use those links above to find some of the info, but the list also has info.

I've solved the problem concerning the lack of a precipitation section. Let me know what you think of the change, and whether or not it looks good to you. While I can't review it for GA per se, I can help out with the editing. Thegreatdr ( talk) 20:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply
I noticed we were both editing at the same time. I'm laying low editing other articles and my user page for the time being. The reviewer has given away one of the things he's looking for in order for the article to achieve GA on the Climate of NC talk page. Note the one line where a convert template cannot be used.

Membership Reconfirmation

Hello there! If you're receiving this message, it means that you are currently in the Participants category of The Office WikiProject. A message involving reconfirmation was included in the current newsletter, but it was a bit buried, and I wanted to make sure that everyone received notice of this so we can get as accurate of a count as we can. The WikiProject is currently trying to find how many users listed in the Participants section are active members, and if you have a spare moment later, it would be a big help if you noted your reconfirmation by simply signing your signature here. And if you're a non-member reading this, feel free to drop by and add your name to the reconfirmation category; you'll be added into the list once it's finished. Thanks, and have a great day!

News

Cape Lookout Lighthouse

Hello WikiProject North Carolina members! A few of us at the The Newsroom Team decided to get together and re-energize the project, through these newsletters. This newsletter is hopefully the first of many to come. We want this project to be active in creating and expanding articles related to our state. If you're a current or former resident of the state, we hope that you will help spread the knowledge of how much there is to learn about North Carolina.

  • A great way to expand new articles is by keeping track of the new articles list. Please add any new NC-related articles or older ones you come across that have not been tagged with the project banner. When you notice an article has been added to the list, read over it and check for citations, grammatical errors, and spelling. If you've written a NC-related article in the past 5 days, read the requirements for Did you know... and add your article to the DYK nomination list. It might be chosen for the Main Page!
  • If you see a new member added to the project list, a great idea would be to leave them a welcome message on their talk page. Show them we notice new members and that we want them to become active participants.
  • If you have any questions in regards to the project, feel free to contact someone from The Newsroom Team. Thanks for all of your hard work and happy editing!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:LostPeanutButterHurleyCharlie.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LostPeanutButterHurleyCharlie.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot ( talk) 05:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC) reply

When did his brother introduce him? If he introduced him when he was young, then that needs to be moved up a bit... chronological order.

Extreme points of Bulgaria

Thanks for working on a Bulgaria-related topic, a still underrepresented area of our encyclopedia (but we're trying! :)) You've done a great job with the list and it has the potential to get to Featured list status in my opinion. You have my full support. I saw the request for a peer review but as I don't have much experience with that or with featured lists, I'll just leave a few suggestions and ideas here :) First, I can tell you that would be pretty hard to obtain free licensed images of some of those points from the ground, but we can perhaps make the article more shiny by adding pictures at least depicting the entire geographic feature or something close nearby. The first row in the tables might display a small thumbnail of each place.

For example, we can include:

I might get to ask the owners of those unfree images I mentioned to release them under a free license, but unfortunately I'll be out of town for three days. If you can do that in the meantime, it would be great. If not, I promise I'll get to ask the guys as soon as I'm back.

Also, we need some more references for the descriptions of the locations, and some more descriptive text about the areas where Shabla and Shulep Kamak are located. For example, Shulep Kamak is in the Chudintsi Mountain (locally Чудинска планина, Chudinska planina). Something like that or that is quotable, but in Bulgarian. The latter is practically a list of all the points and can be used as a general source. As for Shabla, Dobruja can be mentioned to give some geographic idea.

I also suggest removing the descriptive text from the tables and adding it in the paragraphs: it would help keep the tables concise. Todor Bozhinov 20:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Great, let's hope it'll make it :) As a contributor to the article, am I allowed to vote? I'll express my support anyway, but I wonder if my vote counts. Todor Bozhinov 21:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Office episodes

Hey Crabby, long time no see! Yesterday, I felt a sudden urge to get the rest of the season 1-3 Office articles to GA status, and I was wondering if you'd like to aid in this endeavor? Basically, I'm just interested in completing the work we originally started months ago, and eventually get Good Topics for the first 3 seasons. Your thoughts? Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 14:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Yes, time is also an issue with me. I've not as much time to spend on Wikipedia as I used to, unfortunately. I was thinking that this could be a rather on-going project, whereas last time we were knocking off multiple ones per day, I'd love to get even a few per month. Most of my available time is on weekends, so perhaps we could just work when we can and converse whenever. As for Dwight Schrute, if my memory serves, the article was nommed prematurely for GA, despite my warnings. It was almost 100% in universe material, and not likely to pass anything. Then, without even going through a GA review, it was nommed for FA, where it quite easily and quickly was failed. I've added bits and pieces of out of universe material here and there.

Edit of Stranger in a Strange Land lost episode

Hi, You made this edit: 17:05, 24 July 2008 Mr.crabby (talk | contribs) (4,608 bytes) (plot) (undo) to the lost episode article Stranger in a Strange Land (Lost) and you deleted the Cantonese that Isabel said out of the plot. I read that article months ago and read that phrase and just had to spend hours digging through the history of it to find what you erased. What's the beef dude?

Fair use rationale for File:Billydeenikki.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Billydeenikki.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 16:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Proposed deletion of List of Arsenal F.C. individual awards

The article List of Arsenal F.C. individual awards has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:Incomplete lists, no other football clubs have lists devoted to 'individual' awards

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The article was proposed for deletion by an anon editor. I can see that the last point in the nomination is incorrect in that you have also created the page List of Leicester City F.C. individual awards, but I'm not expressing an opinion about the rest of it either way. If you miss this notice until after the deletion, please apply to WP:REFUND if you want it to be undeleted. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:23, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

For the record

In reference to your comment on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pilot (House)/archive2, Featured articles are not chosen based on subject. They are chosen based on the quality. The articles length and topic are not a factor. A good example of articles that are not chosen based on topic is the Exploding whale article. To sum it all up: it's quality not quantity.

Re:Misunderstanding

Hello there, I'm afraid that type of information can be seen as inappropriate for an article. Wikipedia tries to be as factually accurate as possible and information like that which you added is unverifiable. Thinking of it logically, did someone go around and ask each and every person there to see if they were gay? And even then, would the population all have been honest? It's for these reasons I reverted you additions to the article. -- Sagaciousuk ( talk) 06:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Also:
In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

Notability of OfficeTally.com

A tag has been placed on OfficeTally.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{ hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

Thanks for uploading Image:ImpatientBarnstar.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image.

Regarding Deletion of a Tag on Devon's (The Office) Entry

I am not bound to discuss removing the tag. Here is a quote from the tag's disclaimer:

"You may remove this message if you improve the article, or if you otherwise object to deletion of the article for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, it should not be replaced."

Notice the wording. "If you otherwise object...for any reason." I am told that it "helps" to explain why I feel the object should not be deleted. I don't wish to help, I wish for Devon to remain on Wikipedia.

I see you're a Duke fan. That, along with your desire to delete Devon, is unfortunate.

A suggestion

In May 2005, Durham School of the Arts performed The Laramie Project, about a homosexual being beaten and killed. Ten members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church came from Topeka, Kansas to protest. They were met by over 200 counter-protesters. In fact, counter protesters out showed the protesters 10 to 1. The actors and producers were given the Independent Weekly's Valor Award for ignoring protests by Phelp's group [1]. Victuallers 11:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:DurhamSchooloftheArts logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:DurhamSchooloftheArts logo.gif. 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:WRAL Logo.jpg

Image:WRAL Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Assessment request

I have received your request at WP:SCH/A for an assessment of Durham School of the Arts. As you are looking for feedback I would suggest you open a Wikipedia:Peer Review instead to get wider feedback. I also noticed you edited the rating of this article from "Start" to "B"; you are free to assess articles for WikiProject Schools as you wish - but please list your assessments at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Assessment#Assessment summaries. Also, I would advice against editing the quality and importance ratings of articles that you are heavily involved in per WP:COI. Camaron1 | Chris 19:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC) reply

Importance rating

The NC State main article received a "mid-importances" rating while the NC State Wolfpack article received a "high-importance" rating. I am not sure what criteria are used to judge the importance of an article, but that seems backwards to me. What do you think?

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

GAN on hold for Climate of North Carolina

I have went ahead and put the GAN on hold for Climate of North Carolina. It just needs a few tweaks here and there to get up to GA status. It would be a good idea to include a few more references, or use the same one more than once using <refname=example/>. You also should include some information about the state's severe weather climatology. I suggest using data from Raleigh's National Weather Service office for detailed information, and the extremely useful (for all things) National Climactic Data Center database, for hard numbers and descriptions of events after about 1990. I don't know why, but I've always been fascinated by North Carolina, especially Raleigh. Keep up the good work! Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 03:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply

The weather section is the one that needs more references, but even though I didn't see any controversial comments, cite everything in the Global Warming section. For the severe weather, look at List of North American tornadoes and tornado outbreaks for tornadoes in the state, and add them in under a severe weather section. Just include general severe weather climatology (deadliest, costliest). Just use those links above to find some of the info, but the list also has info. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 19:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply
I've solved the problem concerning the lack of a precipitation section. Let me know what you think of the change, and whether or not it looks good to you. While I can't review it for GA per se, I can help out with the editing. Thegreatdr ( talk) 20:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC) reply
I noticed we were both editing at the same time. I'm laying low editing other articles and my user page for the time being.

News

Cape Lookout Lighthouse

Hello WikiProject North Carolina members! A few of us at the The Newsroom Team decided to get together and re-energize the project, through these newsletters. This newsletter is hopefully the first of many to come. We want this project to be active in creating and expanding articles related to our state. If you're a current or former resident of the state, we hope that you will help spread the knowledge of how much there is to learn about North Carolina.

  • A great way to expand new articles is by keeping track of the new articles list. Please add any new NC-related articles or older ones you come across that have not been tagged with the project banner. When you notice an article has been added to the list, read over it and check for citations, grammatical errors, and spelling. If you've written a NC-related article in the past 5 days, read the requirements for Did you know... and add your article to the DYK nomination list. It might be chosen for the Main Page!
  • If you see a new member added to the project list, a great idea would be to leave them a welcome message on their talk page. Show them we notice new members and that we want them to become active participants.
  • If you have any questions in regards to the project, feel free to contact someone from The Newsroom Team. Thanks for all of your hard work and happy editing!

  • The Office (U.S. season 2) failed as a Featured List Candidate on May 2.
  • The Office (U.S. TV series) was delisted as a Featured Article on May 4. User:Daniel Case is currently in working to run the article through the entire gauntlet:Peer review, Good article nomination, and once again Featured Article Candidacy. Any help with the article through the next few months approaching the season 5 premiere would be greatly appreciated.
  • Dunder Mifflin was nominated for GA-status on May 8. It is currently on-hold after a review. Please visit the article and help improve it.
  • Survivor Man was nominated for GA-status on May 18, but has not yet been reviewed.
  • Please continue to keep a look-out for anyone who has substantial experience in editing articles pertaining to The Office. If they're not already in the project, informing them about it would be a great idea.
  • The WikiProject page itself is still in need of some help. If anyone could spruce it up, that would be a great help.

Just saw it. I can't take much credit for anything, you did a lot of the work.

Also, I'd like to pose a question. In the very near future, would you like to collaborate on the Season 2 and 4 articles? 2's almost at FL status, but 4 needs some work. Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 22:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Hello. Since you've moved all The Office episode articles, all the images in them now fail the fair use requirements since they do not contain the exact name of the article in which they are used. Your task isn't finished. Gimmetrow 03:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Helpful Link

Hey. Didn't know if you used something like this or had every used this in particular, but whenever I am in need of a reference for an Office episode, this link always helps. Has a lot of reviews, production info, date refs, etc. Hope it helps! Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 18:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC) reply

No problem. There's also a link somewhere that's a second page, mostly newer links. Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 21:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Re: Initiation

According to this, I have to abide by that. But, I'm not gonna fail it. But, I'm pretty sure another source can be found to replace TV.com. Why don't you just use the {{ cite episode}} template? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Season 4 Eps

Hey, wanted to make sure that we're not working on the same episodes of season 4. I think that might be a bit counter-productive :D. I see you're doing Local Ad, I just wanted to "reserve" The Deposition for myself if you wouldn't mind. Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 22:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Well done on the GAN's, really well done. Just remember that instead of "don't", you need to write "do not", except if the word is in a quote. Other than that, everything was great! Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 07:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Re:Ratings

There's a great site, http://www.tvbythenumbers.com , which does detailed analysis and has charts and rankings for TV ratings, but they started with the 2007-2008 TV season. If you want older info for ABC shows, you can go to http://www.abcmedianet.com and go to the press section, where they keep all of their old press releases with ratings for their shows, but it's not nearly as detailed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackieboy87 ( talkcontribs) 13:01, 25 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:LostPeanutButterHurleyCharlie.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LostPeanutButterHurleyCharlie.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot ( talk) 05:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Rating: taking you up on your offer

Hi, there, Mr. Crabby, I'm taking you up on your offer to help out with rating the importance and/or quality of articles. I have been unable to figure out how to put a rating on the talk page of an article. I see the scale, and I went hunting for information on rating, but I couldn't find anything that described the steps necessary to actually post that rating on the page. I did quite a bit of looking, honest--help, help! Deirdre ( talk) 22:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC) reply

But, I'm having trouble finding statistics and reception info. Just wondering if you could lend a hand. Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 00:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Your GA nomination of Live Together, Die Alone

This sentence needs to be changed: "Although he was placed in special education classes,[3] McElwain was introduced to basketball by his older brother Josh,[4] and was appointed manager of Greece Athena High School's varsity basketball team.[3]"

When did his brother introduce him? If he introduced him when he was young, then that needs to be moved up a bit... chronological order. Also, the article will probably fail the comprehensiveness requirement (see 3a) in the GA Review... Sorry and cheers, -talk- the_ed17 -contribs- 04:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I'll elaborate. Where is his history? There are only five sentences on his life prior to the basketball game, and only four on his life after the ESPY's... -talk- the_ed17 -contribs- 04:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC) reply

Extreme points of Bulgaria

Thanks for working on a Bulgaria-related topic, a still underrepresented area of our encyclopedia (but we're trying! :)) You've done a great job with the list and it has the potential to get to Featured list status in my opinion. You have my full support. I saw the request for a peer review but as I don't have much experience with that or with featured lists, I'll just leave a few suggestions and ideas here :) First, I can tell you that would be pretty hard to obtain free licensed images of some of those points from the ground, but we can perhaps make the article more shiny by adding pictures at least depicting the entire geographic feature or something close nearby. The first row in the tables might display a small thumbnail of each place.

For example, we can include:

I might get to ask the owners of those unfree images I mentioned to release them under a free license, but unfortunately I'll be out of town for three days. If you can do that in the meantime, it would be great. If not, I promise I'll get to ask the guys as soon as I'm back.

Also, we need some more references for the descriptions of the locations, and some more descriptive text about the areas where Shabla and Shulep Kamak are located. For example, Shulep Kamak is in the Chudintsi Mountain (locally Чудинска планина, Chudinska planina). Something like that or that is quotable, but in Bulgarian. The latter is practically a list of all the points and can be used as a general source. As for Shabla, Dobruja can be mentioned to give some geographic idea.

I also suggest removing the descriptive text from the tables and adding it in the paragraphs: it would help keep the tables concise. Todor Bozhinov 20:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Great, let's hope it'll make it :) As a contributor to the article, am I allowed to vote? I'll express my support anyway, but I wonder if my vote counts. Todor Bozhinov 21:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Office episodes

Hey Crabby, long time no see! Yesterday, I felt a sudden urge to get the rest of the season 1-3 Office articles to GA status, and I was wondering if you'd like to aid in this endeavor? Basically, I'm just interested in completing the work we originally started months ago, and eventually get Good Topics for the first 3 seasons. Your thoughts? Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 14:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Yes, time is also an issue with me. I've not as much time to spend on Wikipedia as I used to, unfortunately. I was thinking that this could be a rather on-going project, whereas last time we were knocking off multiple ones per day, I'd love to get even a few per month. Most of my available time is on weekends, so perhaps we could just work when we can and converse whenever. As for Dwight Schrute, if my memory serves, the article was nommed prematurely for GA, despite my warnings. It was almost 100% in universe material, and not likely to pass anything. Then, without even going through a GA review, it was nommed for FA, where it quite easily and quickly was failed. I've added bits and pieces of out of universe material here and there.

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/Amy Schumer (2nd nomination). 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) 01:04, 18 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Fair use rationale for File:Billydeenikki.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Billydeenikki.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 16:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Siasl lost 1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Siasl lost 1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Proposed deletion of List of Arsenal F.C. individual awards

The article List of Arsenal F.C. individual awards has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:Incomplete lists, no other football clubs have lists devoted to 'individual' awards

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The article was proposed for deletion by an anon editor. I can see that the last point in the nomination is incorrect in that you have also created the page List of Leicester City F.C. individual awards, but I'm not expressing an opinion about the rest of it either way. If you miss this notice until after the deletion, please apply to WP:REFUND if you want it to be undeleted. – Fayenatic L ondon 14:23, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Hello, Mr.crabby,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username SportingFlyer and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Rhett McLaughlin, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|SportingFlyer}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
