Question on State Canvassing Board

Hello EHJ: The board will meet at Room 10, State Office Building.[1] Map here. Please note first source says 1:00; second says live video coverage begins at 2:30, which suggests the later start time. Kablammo (talk) 13:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:UCC branding logo.gif)

You've uploaded File:UCC branding logo.gif, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:MnDOT logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:MnDOT logo.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) 05:34, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move of Isle of Man TT

Just to let you know that the move you performed tonight, with the edit summary inferring you don't like abbreviations, is already the subject of a Requested Move, going through the proper channels and under discussion on the talk page. Can you please undo the move while the discussion is ongoing, and contribute to the talk page to help bring about a worthy consensus? - fchd (talk) 21:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Preempting the process and any consensus that may have been forthcoming by the discussion of a definitely controversial move is unsatisfactory. Please revert and let the discussion take place according to process. Making an admin decision while the discussion is taking place is entirely wrong. You did not even let the discussion proceed for 24 hours. ww2censor (talk) 23:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the revert. There also seems to be enough evidence that TT is the proper use and that the abbreviation is seldom used by anyone. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 14:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello EdwinHJ! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 692 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Buck Humphrey - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 06:00, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

translation impossible?

There is a discussion going on whether the name of that German church body can be translated or not (it appears like this on the english pages of this church's homepage). One user changed the name of this Church (actually a federation of several Lutheran, United and Reformed churches) and it's regional member churches to the German form because he says their names can't get translated. so the article on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria now appears under its German name because he says the "concept" can't be translated into English. Please go to the discusson page of the Evangelical Church in Germany and have your say --93.130.249.56 (talk) 02:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Buck Humphrey

The article Buck Humphrey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

fails WP:POLITICIAN

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ironholds (talk) 12:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Buck Humphrey

I have nominated Buck Humphrey, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Buck Humphrey. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Deor (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

File source problem with File:BasilicaofStMary.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:BasilicaofStMary.jpg. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —innotata 15:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prettner Solon photo

Hello. Regarding this image, could you tell me what supports this being a free image? Jonathunder (talk) 02:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also came across the page and found no evidence on the government homepage of the lt. gov. allowing the usage under the condition mentioned, so I nominated the image for deletion for missing evidence of permission. Hekerui (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page titles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Hamilton College (disambiguation) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Hamilton College. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a result of your move of Hamilton College to a different title, replacing it with the disambiguation page mentioned just above, there are now several hundred other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Hamilton College", the vast majority of them undoubtedly referring to the New York college; all of these now need to be reviewed and fixed. Your help in doing this would be appreciated. Thank you. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MSU Interview

Dear EdwinHJ,


My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 18:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wesley College (Western Australia)

Hi, Ive noticed that youve moved the above article to that name. This was discussed a while ago amongst the WP:WA team and it was decided that this article and a number of others would have ", Perth" at the end. (eg. Scotch College, Perth).

I have reverted the edit. Moving an article, with no consultation is not the right way. Also, none of the articles that link to the old name have been changed!

Please be more careful. Thanks Five Years 03:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that your move of Wesley College, Sheffield to Wesley College (South Yorkshire) is similarly inappropriate. Why did you do it? The categories it is in are "Sheffield" categories. The South Yorkshire categories are just a parent category for several areas of South Yorkshire, including Sheffield. This school merged with Sheffield Grammar School and then became King Edward VII School, Sheffield. It was known as "Wesley College, Sheffield". I will wait a while before reverting this move. Again, you should have consulted over this move. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikisource

These two works are on wikisource without licensing, and do not appear to be used as on wikisource. I am not sure what licensing would apply, but if they are PD Commons would be a better home for them. Any thoughts on the disposition of them? Jeepday (talk)

Concordia University

Hi, I saw you had moved the Concordia University page? Were you aware of previous move discussions which all supported making the Montreal page the primary topic? If this was in error, please revert.--The lorax (talk) 20:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wesley Theological College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wesley 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.

Wesley College (Auckland)

I see you moved Wesley College (Auckland). Would you mind moving it back to Wesley College, Auckland, as per case 4 of the NZ naming conventions? Schwede66 17:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry - I've done it myself. Schwede66 01:42, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
