Nomination For Admin
I was previously Patricio934, now I am Mysteryman44. Anyway I was wondering if you would nominate me to be an admin. You have seen the page I created about my neighborhood, and you cleaned it up a bit, which I appreciate. I also love this website and would love to be an admin so I can help some people, and help track down vandalism, and revert it. Would you please consider nominating me for admin.-Mysteryman44

citation style - the Ave & Ravenna, Seattle, Washington
Thank you for your interest in the citation style on this page, I recently updated the Ravenna, Seattle, Washington references to get away from how the Ave article is currently, but my efforts were revereted by GoDot who is also responcible for how the Ave article is referenced. A discussion has just started on the Ravenna neighborhood's talk page to try and sort this issue out, your input there would be appreciated. —Asatruer 21:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Minneapolis: Central neighborhood vs Central community
An article already exists on the Central neighborhood in South Minneapolis (the Minneapolis neighborhoods template has now been edited to link to this already existing article). Central, Minneapolis was the article for the Central community (consisting of several neighborhoods in and around downtown Minneapolis). "Community" and "neighborhood" are two different things in Minneapolis; see Neighborhoods of Minneapolis if there is any confusion about this. By editing the old Central, Minneapolis article to instead describe the neighborhood in South Minneapolis, it eliminates altogether an article for the Central community, and creates an extra article for a neighborhood that already has one.

From BPRoy
An explanation for what a sock puppet is: Say you wrote a page and someone wanted to delete it. You argue as your own user name against deletion. This doesn't go anywhere because other people are getting involved with the arguement and they are against you too. So you start a second wikipedia account and pretend that you are someone else arguing on your side. This second account is your "sock puppet".

Hope this was helpful!

Fair use rationale for Image:Adrenaline Rush The science of risk.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Adrenaline Rush The science of risk.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

(Also, I tagged Image:Adrenaline Rush The science of risk.jpg as a candidate for speedy deletion because it is an orphaned fair use image. I assumed you uploaded it and then uploaded this better quality one, and so it is no longer necessary.)

Hi, I saw that the map you made for Richfield is labeled as saying that the city shrunk since the 1850s. Is this correct?--Daveswagon 02:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:PromoJulieNELSON.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:PromoJulieNELSON.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- PageantUpdater  •  talk  |  contribs  |  esperanza  00:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BigWu0c.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BigWu0c.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 '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.
