Thanks for the recognition
I've been out of fire fighting for about 10 years now, but you know what you're talking about on this subject, and I just wanted to say thanks for helping add solid information to articles.--MONGO 07:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I know nought of firefighting, but I have a friend who works at the National Interagency Fire Center here in Boise, so I put up a stub for them. Have at it! Kencf 00:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Templates for deletion
The consensus of the TfD debate was to delete the template. Because it will remove the licensing from your pictures to delete the template, I will wait for your okay (meaning the images no longer use the template to be deleted) to go through with the deletion. Let me know if there are any problems, RyanG e rbil10 (The people rejoice!) 05:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:ANFFLA-Logo.jpg
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:ANFFLA-Logo.jpg. 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:12, 7 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.

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Meetup
You are invited to "Come Edit Wikipedia!" at the West Hollywood Library on Saturday, July 27th, 2013. There will be coffee, cookies, and good times! -- Olegkagan (talk) &mdash; Message delivered by Hazard-Bot at 03:35, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Got any interest in designing User Boxes?
Hi. I'm up in Canada. I came across your page, somehow, while Web surfing. For one thing, I believe you and I have some overlapping interests, as I live amid a vast forested (and mountainous) region. And, though I've never been a fire lookout, I have volunteered for a lot of things in my region and community.

Besides being a volunteer yourself, you seem to have some avidity for User Boxes. I'm shooting in the dark by posting you here, but I'd like to pass ideas about a few new User Boxes on to someone who enjoys making them. I'm an editor — not talented or knowledgeable graphically (not creative in that way).

My ideas are for ones about: 1) Food Gardener ; 2) Handyman (or Handyperson) ; Community Volunteer (or simply Volunteer). As I have not located any such, I tend to think these do not yet exist. But I think they'd be good. What do you think? And, would you feel like making any of these?Joel Russ (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Senior Wikipedians
WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.


 * 1) Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.
 * 2) Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.
 * 3) Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.

Suggested goals for this project:


 * 1) To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
 * 2) To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
 * 3) To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
 * 4) To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
 * 5) To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
 * 6) To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
 * 7) To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

Please add your suggestions for this project at Senior Wikipedians. Thank you, Buaidh  talk e-mail 01:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
