File copyright problem with File:Outboard motor drawing.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Outboard motor drawing.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  11:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Slabbing/jigging
Hi Dusty. I had never heard of slabbing before, but there is plenty of stuff about it on the web. It is also used to catch smelt when ice fishing. Currently, the article on jigging just covers a bit about jig lures used in recreational fishing. It should also discuss jigging used in commercial fishing to catch squid and cod, as well as the special vessels built for this purpose. I agree with you that slabbing seems to belong in the article as well. Would you like to integrate your stuff about slabbing into the article, and perhaps add a bit about ice fishing as well? Is there something about slabbing that sets it apart from jigging in general, or is it just a regional term for "jigging"? Later I'll add a section about commercial jigging. Best regards. --Geronimo20 (talk) 22:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well you don't have to know anything about ice fishing – you just need to know how to track down the best sources on the web. If you can find enough, you can use them to write a properly cited article on ice fishing, and become a bit of an expert in the process. Wikipedia is really about sources. What can be properly sourced belongs in the encyclopedia so long as it is notable. What cannot be properly sourced doesn't belong. A lot of the fishing articles are not properly cited. Some aren't cited at all. This is particularly a problem with recreational fishing, since good sources can be difficult to find, just a lot of opinion on blogs and forums. Blogs and forums are not acceptable sources, so there is a major cleanup issue there.


 * Anyway, if you would like to have a go, we could crank jigging up for a joint DYK. The article needs another 9000 characters to qualify for a DYK. I can add the section on commercial fishing, say 6000 characters. So if you could aim at another 3000 characters for the recreational section then its a goer. If you get stuck I'll give you a hand. So over to you. If you decide to give it a go, I'd rather not start for another week (too much else happening). So it would be better to not add anything yet, because once we start we have only about 7 days to complete it. --Geronimo20 (talk) 04:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree with that. I changed the name because an article called Jigging is more importantly needed as the main article, and it can be supported by another article called Jigging lure. If you are interested, you can create a page called User:Dusty.crockett/Sandbox (just click on this red link and create the page). This will then become your personal sandbox. Then, if you give me permission to use your sandbox with you for a while, we can use the sandbox to write and rewrite those articles until we are happy with them. Then we can put them online and see if can get two DYKs. If we do it that way, thee will be no time pressure. --Geronimo20 (talk) 19:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Troll (angling)
Hi Dusty. When you delete material, as you did in Troll (angling), would you please indicate why in the edit summary. Actually, it's a help to other editors if you always comment your edits. Now I'm wondering why you deleted all that material? The article is a poor one, and needs to be developed. But I would have thought most of what you deleted belongs there in one form or another. --Geronimo20 (talk) 01:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  00:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
