Hi, for Oregon you can actually combine the reqphoto with project template.
See Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Oregon if it's not too late. Thanks, Katr67 ( talk) 03:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
No, sorry. Gas is cheap now, so I don't have that excuse. The real reason is I don't have a digital camera, and my mom's digital camera doesn't work for what ever reason. I tried to take pics with it for clothes to sell on ebay with no luck. I plan on getting one, hopefully soon, then I'll take some pics for ya! I'll watch page you, so I remember who the pics are for! :) CTJF83 Talk 08:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia prefers the double quotation marks over the singular for titles and quotes; singular quotes are used for quotations within a quotation; see WP:PUNC and WP:MOSTITLE for more. As for my removal of the duplicated citations, this is standard practice. It's generally believed that the one ref (Wertheim) covers the entirety of the information that is sandwiched between the two inline cites. If this is not the case, separate refs should be included to indicate that it is not covered by Wertheim. There is no reason to cite every separate sentence to the exact same inline citation. BTW, I'm not really interested in the topic; I only have an interest in Crane. ;) María ( habla con migo) 18:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps there aren't any references in the French, but I've always understood that barring references, a translation is the next best thing to look for. And all of those articles could be expanded, even a little, with something from the French. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 20:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I see you reverted all edits made to the article since your edit of last February, including my disambiguation of "Pittsburg". While I don't really care whether the work is considered a novel or novella, I'm curious as to whether "Pittsburg" is, in fact, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or is it some other, possibly fictional place? -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 03:51, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Please don't revert edits as "vandalism" as you did here: [1]. A contributor spent a great deal of time trying to improve an article, and while her edits might have seemed biased or lengthy, it was a first time contributor. Help them do it right, please don't label something vandalism that is an contribution in good faith. Thanks. Bastique demandez 02:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Please do not re-add the Vanderbilt University category to Barry Winchell. I know that he died at Vanderbilt Hospital, but that is not a reason to be included in that category. That's reserved for articles that have very strong ties to the university, such as alumni, facilities, events, etc. Think of it this way...the hospital he died at has virtually no bearing on him as a person. It's just tangential...likely he was simply transported to Vanderbilt because of their LifeFlight helicopter service. — Huntster ( t @ c) 04:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
I submitted a request for an open source image to his campaign web site but haven't heard back. For some reason, these queries are always met with suspicion, particularly by conservatives.

Hello! In going through the backlog of Category:Articles which may no longer need images, I've found several of your Missouri towns with image requests getting tagged by the bot as not needing images because of the map image. I'm assuming you want actual photographs, so I've been clarifying the image requests by adding |of=Horton, Missouri (or whatever) to the reqphoto template. That should stop the bot from flagging these pages and keeping the request intact. Thought I'd let you know for your use in the future. :) Sweet kate ( talk) 16:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Zigzig20s.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ruidoso News requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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
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. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you. -

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. The article in question is mostly cited to his FRC profile, his own writings, and similar. Therefore it lacks third party sourcing. There is little evidence (e.g. from Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL that "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" exists. Therefore its notability is in question. Hrafn Talk Stalk( P) 05:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I see you created alot of Paraguayan ministers today. One problem I see is that you created a box at the bottom of each article entitled "Fernando Lugo cabinet". There is a better way to do it. Right now, if a new member is appointed, you have to edit all the articles to update the change. If you create a template you only have one place to make the change.
An example of a template is
Template:Governors of Pennsylvania.
To add the template to an article, place {{Template:Governors of Pennsylvania}} at the bottom of the article.
For more information see
WP:TMP
Also there is one minor error with your boxes... An example is on Camilo Soares Machado article, his name in the box should be in black and not a wikilink. You are already on his page. I've been correcting the mistake when I see them. If you have questions on anything, don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:David M. Halperin, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 02:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Zigzig20s, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture whether the article Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

A tag has been placed on George Arthur Buttrick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

I notice you are doing a lot of work identifying articles that do not have images. Could I ask that you take note of the categories available. For example for a person the reason for notoriety has a category and the place also has a specific category. So
Talk:Jean-Charles Marchiani should have {{
Image requested|politicians and government-people|people of France}}
rather than {{reqphoto|in=France}}. I realise that getting to know all the categories can be a task in its self so if you wish you can just add {{
reqphoto}}
to add it to the top category; I run over the list at least once a week and classify them in more detail.--

Wondering, what actually do you want a picture of here Talk:Baron Glendevon? -- Traveler100 ( talk) 16:50, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
What exactly are the criteria you are using for tagging all these articles into WPUS? To me it seems there is no compelling reason to add them just because the subject of the article happens to be American. That is far too broad a scope for any WikiProject to have. Elizium23 ( talk) 02:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps you could use some of the free time you're obviously looking to fill by looking on Commons first (the place which most photographers upload to) to make sure that there are not already images there for the subjects you are tagging. In nearly all cases, the category on Commons has the same title as the article on Wikipedia - e.g. Hilton, Western Australia images can be found at commons:Category:Hilton, Western Australia. Perry Lakes Reserve is another such which you tagged, but which has ample photos on Commons. This would demonstrate that you actually wish to take some responsibility for your work and are capable of doing work which is useful to others, and are not simply wasting everyone's time. Orderinchaos 18:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
I see a number of people have either asked you to take more care with your reqphoto tagging (see above), or stop completely ( Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board#Small_towns). You've apparently ignored those requests and have persisted with an attitude that you will continue regardless. [5] I now see edit warring over the same thing. [6] It's been explained that what you're doing is disruptive to the efficient running of the encyclopaedia, and doesn't help the volunteers who actually create content (text and photos).

Well I fundamentally disagree with you (but apparently I shouldn't, or I'll get blocked!), I think it would definitely prompt people to take a picture of him because it shows people like me care.

Hi. When you recently edited Safy Nebbou, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orange and Commercial ( 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.

No, sorry. Gas is cheap now, so I don't have that excuse. The real reason is I don't have a digital camera, and my mom's digital camera doesn't work for what ever reason.

Wikipedia prefers the double quotation marks over the singular for titles and quotes; singular quotes are used for quotations within a quotation; see WP:PUNC and WP:MOSTITLE for more. As for my removal of the duplicated citations, this is standard practice. It's generally believed that the one ref (Wertheim) covers the entirety of the information that is sandwiched between the two inline cites. If this is not the case, separate refs should be included to indicate that it is not covered by Wertheim. There is no reason to cite every separate sentence to the exact same inline citation. BTW, I'm not really interested in the topic; I only have an interest in Crane. ;) María ( habla con migo) 18:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps there aren't any references in the French, but I've always understood that barring references, a translation is the next best thing to look for. And all of those articles could be expanded, even a little, with something from the French. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 20:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I see you reverted all edits made to the article since your edit of last February, including my disambiguation of "Pittsburg".

Please don't revert edits as "vandalism" as you did here: [1].

Please do not re-add the Vanderbilt University category to Barry Winchell. I know that he died at Vanderbilt Hospital, but that is not a reason to be included in that category. That's reserved for articles that have very strong ties to the university, such as alumni, facilities, events, etc. Think of it this way...the hospital he died at has virtually no bearing on him as a person. It's just tangential...likely he was simply transported to Vanderbilt because of their LifeFlight helicopter service. — Huntster ( t @ c) 04:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello! In going through the backlog of Category:Articles which may no longer need images, I've found several of your Missouri towns with image requests getting tagged by the bot as not needing images because of the map image. I'm assuming you want actual photographs, so I've been clarifying the image requests by adding |of=Horton, Missouri (or whatever) to the reqphoto template. That should stop the bot from flagging these pages and keeping the request intact. Thought I'd let you know for your use in the future. :) Sweet kate ( talk) 16:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Zigzig20s.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ruidoso News requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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
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. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you. -

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. The article in question is mostly cited to his FRC profile, his own writings, and similar. Therefore it lacks third party sourcing. There is little evidence (e.g. from Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL that "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" exists. Therefore its notability is in question. Hrafn Talk Stalk( P) 05:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I see you created alot of Paraguayan ministers today. One problem I see is that you created a box at the bottom of each article entitled "Fernando Lugo cabinet". There is a better way to do it. Right now, if a new member is appointed, you have to edit all the articles to update the change. If you create a template you only have one place to make the change.
An example of a template is
Template:Governors of Pennsylvania.
To add the template to an article, place {{Template:Governors of Pennsylvania}} at the bottom of the article.
For more information see
WP:TMP
Also there is one minor error with your boxes... An example is on Camilo Soares Machado article, his name in the box should be in black and not a wikilink. You are already on his page. I've been correcting the mistake when I see them. If you have questions on anything, don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:David M. Halperin, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 02:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on George Arthur Buttrick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

I notice you are doing a lot of work identifying articles that do not have images. Could I ask that you take note of the categories available. For example for a person the reason for notoriety has a category and the place also has a specific category. So
Talk:Jean-Charles Marchiani should have {{
Image requested|politicians and government-people|people of France}}
rather than {{reqphoto|in=France}}. I realise that getting to know all the categories can be a task in its self so if you wish you can just add {{
reqphoto}}
to add it to the top category; I run over the list at least once a week and classify them in more detail.--

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Wondering, what actually do you want a picture of here Talk:Baron Glendevon? -- Traveler100 ( talk) 16:50, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
What exactly are the criteria you are using for tagging all these articles into WPUS? To me it seems there is no compelling reason to add them just because the subject of the article happens to be American. That is far too broad a scope for any WikiProject to have.

Perhaps you could use some of the free time you're obviously looking to fill by looking on Commons first (the place which most photographers upload to) to make sure that there are not already images there for the subjects you are tagging. In nearly all cases, the category on Commons has the same title as the article on Wikipedia - e.g. Hilton, Western Australia images can be found at commons:Category:Hilton, Western Australia. Perry Lakes Reserve is another such which you tagged, but which has ample photos on Commons. This would demonstrate that you actually wish to take some responsibility for your work and are capable of doing work which is useful to others, and are not simply wasting everyone's time.

I see a number of people have either asked you to take more care with your reqphoto tagging (see above), or stop completely ( Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board#Small_towns). You've apparently ignored those requests and have persisted with an attitude that you will continue regardless. [5] I now see edit warring over the same thing. [6] It's been explained that what you're doing is disruptive to the efficient running of the encyclopaedia, and doesn't help the volunteers who actually create content (text and photos). Smartass comments like "... I wish I didn't have to do it all on my own." dont help your case. Orderinchaos has suggested how you could actually help at Commons, but you've ignored this suggestions too. [7] This is you first and final warning: if you persist you will be blocked without further notice. Moondyne ( talk) 02:03, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Well I fundamentally disagree with you (but apparently I shouldn't, or I'll get blocked!), I think it would definitely prompt people to take a picture of him because it shows people like me care. Same thing goes for towns in Australia, etc. I added a picture from Wikicommons for Hilton and other places after the guy above was uncouth to me. Zigzig20s ( talk) 03:47, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Safy Nebbou, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orange and Commercial ( 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.
