Thank you
I realize I never thanked you for the Barnstar that you gave me back in July, so I apologize for it being so late, but thank you very much.Packerfansam (talk) 05:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Here's what I did. I obtained a picture File:PJ Derrick Wilson and Jamel Fuentes.jpg (Just so there is no confusion, while the file is NOW labeled with Derrick Wilson's name, that's because I had it renamed. It originally had Jimmy Butler's name.)

Then I did a search to find out who #33 at Marquette was in 2011. I searched for "marquette basketball roster 2011" and opened this site

You can see why I thought #33 in 2011 was Jimmy Butler.

I saw there was an article about Jimmy Butler, but no photo. So I cropped the image, and used it.

I was wrong, you probably know why, but I missed it.

That is not vandalism.

Don't EVER do that again.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  03:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright, no problem. Let's hope we both don't make the same mistakes again. Cheers. Iksnyrk (talk) 03:51, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Let's start over
You are new, and doing a little bit of vandalism patrol. Whether explicitly, or just in passing, I can't tell. It is extremely useful to know whether an editor is brand-new or experienced. While we aren't supposed to cut someone slack if they've been around awhile, if they've been around awhile, it is more likely that a error is an innocent mistake. Plus, if someone is very new, one ought to take care to explain more than if they've got some experience.

I urge you to go to and enable Navigation popups. It has MANY benefits, but one useful one is you can hover over a signature and instantly see how long they've been registered. It has links to get to their contributions, and other useful links. Plus, hover over any blue link, and you get a sneak preview of the content.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  04:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Pal-pac logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Pal-pac logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

re: PAL-PAC Article
It's totally fine to use non-English sources. We need independent, reliable sources to satisfy Notability (organizations). PRWeb doesn't count (paid service), nor does any source self-published bythe organization. Out of current sources, 5 and 6 are ok, but they mention the organization in passing. In fact, as things stnad, I don't think the article would survice a deletion process. Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages, we cover notable organizations. Was it discussed, not in passing, by any reliable (independent) media? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:24, 4 February 2015 (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.

History of the Poles in the United States
Given your high fluency in Polish, I am reaching out to you in regards to the History of the Poles in the United States article. It has no Polish equivalent, and any time you can spend towards translating in any capacity would be much-appreciated. I would be more than happy to help any way that I can.

Thank you! Pola.mola (talk) 20:07, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of PAL-PAC


The article PAL-PAC has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The sources currently in the article do not provide the organization with significant coverage sufficient to meet WP:NORG, and a WP:BEFORE search finds only trivial mentions and coverage of unrelated topics (like Pac-Man)."

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 notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
