Thank you!
[edit]Thank ya so much for the kind words on Erie Triangle. I personally think the map is hella dorky, but it was the best I could do with my limited tools. :) Not a local, just a big fan of obscure bits of local history. Spend a lot of time fussing with historic regions of the United States. Not sure when I first heard about it, but agree that it's a neat bit of geographic history. Anyway, thanks again. Really appreciate it. jengod 01:10, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
- OK, good to see I'm not the only one with encyclopedic knowledge of obscure geographia. See, I'm an Erie native, and we sometimes think no one knows about us outside of Pittsburghers, who come to Lake Erie in droves every summer. - Sensor 01:35, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi!
[edit]Hello Mike, nice to find in-laws in Wikipedia ;) I think, I made you brother addicted to it :-P -- Krisztina
- Wow, I never expected to find family here. Cool! - Sensor 02:48, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I'm mostly active in the Hungarian Wiki (even been elected to sysop) and make hardly anything else in English Wikipedia than interwiki links for newly created articles - the bots do the rest :) We have a lot to do over there, you know... But it might change later on, it is only a question of time :) --Serinde 17:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Urgh, do you spend time translating English articles into the Hungarian Wiki too? That's a lot of work! (If I had to rate my Hungarian skill for Wikipedia:Babel, I'd probably be HU-0.03. :) BTW, you do know that I own and play this, right? You need a photo of the Hungarian version on the Hungarian Wiki - the photo there is the French version! :) - Sensor 02:41, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I know, Chad told me. I checked the article's history, because I found it very detailed and wondered, how many people was interested - and that's how I found your username :)) - Serinde 12:35, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- And yes, I actually translated some articels from English to Hungarian - not more work than writing it on your own, believe me :) but I did not translate from hu: to en: yet, it seems to be harder - for me. --Serinde 12:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Greetings from Miskolc
[edit]Hi! It's nice that Serinde can get her family addicted to Wikipedia :-) Come and visit the Hungarian wikipedia too, you can even learn some of the language there :-) Alensha 12:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, I was addicted before I knew Serinde was here! :) Hungarian makes my head hurt sometimes, but it's a neat language. I was trying to edit the page on the tekerőlant to insert a photo of the Hungarian model (I was interested in that because I play the tekerőlant), but I couldn't figure out how to metawiki an image from the English site. I guess I should just upload it to the Hungarian wiki. :) - Sensor 23:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think you should use Wikimedia Commons, so that other wikis can use it too. :) HuWiki can only use images that were uploaded either to Commons or to HuWiki. Alensha 00:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Of course. *slaps head* The Commons. Thanks - Sensor 00:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for the kind words on my talk page. :) It's always nice to have a few random words of encouragement. --Jacquelyn Marie 03:05, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

This article has been rewritten to reflect current knowledge. I urge you to take a look at it and reconsider your delete vote. Thanks. Denni☯ 03:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Good work
[edit]From one Delaware (to presumably another) - Good work on all the Delaware-related articles you have been doing :) →Raul654 19:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! Yes, I am a Delawarean, and there's plenty of stuff here to write about. (I probably won't get to expanding the Ebright Azimuth article for a while, though.) - Sensor 07:39, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Tasty death bones...hey, I think I just named a punk-cover band. Youngamerican 02:48, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

How would the comedy show be verified? I have videos, but can't exactly send them anywhere. I'm also working on an entry for the community college the show was held at, so I need a little advice on how it could be incorporated and/or why it's necessary for deletion. Thanks for your time.
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. First, please sign your comments with ~~~~ at the end, so I know who you are.
- Now, with regard to verification, that's only part of the puzzle. The article was marked for deletion because the faculty bash was not asserted to be notable. Notability is an extremely important element of a good Wikipedia article. The guideline states that something is notable if it "is known outside of a narrow interest group or constituency, or should be because of its particular importance or impact." In the case of the faculty bash, the article as written does not really show how the bash is notable. If you can point to facts that make it notable -- that it won awards, was broadcast on national TV or even a cable channel, etc. -- you might well be able to get it to fit the bill, but otherwise it will likely be deleted as non-notable. This policy is in place simply because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and unnotable things are not encyclopedic.
- You would probably be better off writing an article about the community college in general -- which will almost certainly be notable -- and insert the faculty bash as a subheading in the main article.
- It's really not as complicated as it seems. Just try it as it goes, and don't hesitate to ask for help at the Help Desk or by asking me.
- To get a good idea about what Wikipedia is and how to write an awesome article, you might want to read:
- Let me know if I can be of further help! - Sensor 02:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Kilta.jpg: The Search for Copyvios
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Kilta.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -SCEhardT 06:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Datamil_ssx_de_map.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Datamil_ssx_de_map.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image source problem with Image:Bethanyseal.png
[edit]This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bethanyseal.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Sussex county flag.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Sussex county flag.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Balalaika Russe.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Balalaika Russe.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) 09:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Your thoughts on a new article
[edit]Hi. A few years ago, you were a great help when I wrote my first article about journal_club. At the time, I was very excited to contribute to wikipedia, and by the revolutionary role JournalReview.org was playing in the medical community. My enthusiasm led me to make the mistake of offering external links to this project in a fassion that recently has been interpreted as spam. Although no links have been offered to JournalReview.org in almost two years, in Feb 08 the website was placed directly on the blacklist (bypassing the nomination phase). There are several reasons why I found this action to be overly aggressive, not to mention that there had never been a warning made to me, about the links, or any other method tried to suggest that these links were not appreciated. I offered my perspective and appologized on the blacklist forum to ask for reconsideration, but my request was denied.
Be that as it may, to demonstrate notability of the project, I have started a draft on my talk page of an article specifically about journalreview.org. I recognize that the article will undergo careful scrutiny as it will require a whitelist requests. I wanted to give the article the best chance of success possible, and was hoping that you might offer some feedback if your time allows.
Many thanks, EBMdoc (talk) 01:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Platters.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Platters.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.

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum
[edit]Hi Sensor,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.
Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 19:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)
[edit]Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Duquesne University, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:03, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Marshallton-School.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Marshallton-School.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.
