User talk:Violine

Hello!

Hi, Violine! I noticed you made some edits to Wayzata High School and similar articles. Do you go there? I did (graduated last year). It's nice to see another person from Wayzata on Wikipedia. Even though you appear to have been around here since early 2006, it appears your talk page is blank, so let me be the first to say "welcome to Wikipedia!"

Here, I'll give you an official welcoming. :)

Welcome!

Hello, Violine, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Minnesota Youth Symphonies. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thanks for the "official" welcome. I did indeed go to Wayzata -- I actually graduated in 2007 so we must have overlapped our time there. I would supply that my real name is actually Emily...but there were about a billion Emilys at the school so that might not help a lot...unless you knew of one that played violin. That Emily is almost certainly me. Anyhow, thanks again!

Are you currently a violin performance major at Columbus State? Parlez-vous français? Are you a National Merit Scholar? Would you consider me a creepy stalker if I went into greater detail about you? If so, then that Emily is almoster certainlier you. (Also, you're pretty.) --Zarel (talk) 12:33, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Zarel is a creeper! Trust me, I use userboxes inordinately! --Ilikeverin (talk) 05:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

So my guess is that we're already friends on Facebook or......ok there is no "or." -Violine (talk) 04:19, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Bowdoin IMF1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bowdoin IMF1.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

The Preview feature

Hi, I've noticed you've been making edits to the Sandbox, as well as making several edits in a row to refine how an article looks. I just wanted to point out that there's a button called "Preview" next to "Save page" that lets you see what your changes will make an article look like without actually changing the article. It's probably easier than using the Sandbox, and it lets you experiment without filling the edit history of, say, Bowdoin International Music Festival with a bunch of refinement edits. --Zarel (talk) 21:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Ha! Thanks - I'll keep it in mind. --Violine (talk) 05:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmm.

[Reading your userboxen] You speak Pig Latin better than you speak English? I realize the userbox is somewhat of a joke and you may already know this, but in case you don't: "4" is native, "5" is professional - as in, your job is to write or study the language (e.g. writer, editor, language professor). --Zarel (talk) 18:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

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) 12:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Oleg Bezuglov for deletion

Dear Violine,

Since you are the violinist and often contribute to the music topics, could you, please take a look at the Oleg Bezuglov article and express your opinion in discussion on whether it should be deleted or not. It was nominated on suspicion of not passing the WP:MUSICBIO criterion. The discussion is currently dead in the water, and I'm afraid it might be relisted again because of that. Thanks in advance!

Proposed deletion of File:Bowdoin IMF1.jpg

The file File:Bowdoin IMF1.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is no longer the logo used by this festival, and appears to be a promotional shot used in a brochure. See [1].

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

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

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