Orphaned non-free media (Image:FlTechCOA.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:FlTechCOA.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

New page Category: National Football Conference Pro Bowl players
I think it confused to you and me also. But I think, may be I know, that category is not created in main namespace!

i dont know who jimbo wales is. but, i can assure you that "Rich Camarillo"  is a "national football conference" pro bowl player in,(89, 91, 92 & 93)...  he was for whatever reason? not included in "that catagories" wikipedia listing... but you can look it up in any NFL record or fact book or official NFL encyclopedia, NFL football register,etc.. the wikepedia listing has missed on this and has omitted it, but it is absolutely true!

 * Alternatively you can use the <tt>ad</tt> parameter, (this saves having to copy and modify the whole template). To view just one ad, use for example <tt> </tt>. To choose randomly between more than one, use a  statement; for example to choose between ads 6, 25, 67 and 92, use
 * <tt> </tt>

Tagged for deletion
Jameson- my wiki entitled "De Soto High School" was tagged for deletion. I want to use the page as part of a class assignment for my students. I understand the reason the page was tagged- can you help me understand how to edit/adjust the page to allow it to stay? Or- can the page be placed somewhere else in the Wikipedia website?

Please take a look at it, and if you still think it's not relevant, please let me know why and how I could make it more acceptable.

WP:NFCC
Hi, Jamesontai. In regards to your addition of a fair use image in Template:FloridaTechTemplate, templates cannot contain fair use images per WP:NFCC. If a free version can be obtained or created, that would be appropriate for use in the template. Regards,  Lara  ❤  Love  18:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * In regards to this image, I am following the precedence set by the University of Florida. Please refer to Template:University of Florida and their use of a non-free image.  Its copyright information should be the same as the Florida Institute of Technology logo.  Free image will not be possible since the image is copyrighted by the university, but the version I am using came out of the University Publications office of Florida Tech.  Please advise.

 * Neither template should be using a non-free image. WP:NFCC reads, "Non-free content is allowed only in articles, and only in article namespace." Not templates. If there is no free equivalent, there needs to be no image. Also, you can reply only here, I'm watching. :)  Lara  ❤  Love  18:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Environmental effects of nuclear power
Way to go slapping tags on this article.

You know, none of this is new to this article, it's all copied from other places, which I agree, need more silly tags from people like you. Anyway, this is the point of that article - put all the stuff in one place so the weasel words won't be able to survive where people might actually read it. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 19:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Before you accuse me of "slapping tags", please actually read what that tag states. If you believe that I have made an error, you may discuss it on the article's discussion page.

 * I came here to explain what I'm doing and hopefully prompt you to explain what you're doing. The text you read in that article was not written by me, and I have been editing it.  I know what NPOV is, and I hope you know the etiquette for using tags.  The reason the tag was added should be addressed on the talk page, epically when requested.  The article is currently a conversation between me and myself right now, and I would be delighted for you to join.  If you want the issues to be addressed or even want the tag to stay, you need to say something there - that is, if the reason you put it there is even relevant after the most recent changes. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 20:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I placed the tag as your article appeared in the new pages patrol. When I read the article, it looked like an article that may have NPOV issues.  The tag says "may", not does, and I admit that I do not have the enough background knowledge at this time to properly assess the article.  I'll come back to it when it does.  Keep waiting.

Deleting my page
You deleted TimeWasters, while there are many many other webcomic pages out there with no reason why it is notable. Please tell me why. Lord Mark(talk) 18:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I came across your webcomic page when I was performing new page patrols. Please review the notability standards of Wikipedia as well as what Wikipedia is not.  Your page was not deleted by myself.  I only nominated your article for speedy deletion.  It was the author/main contributor's choice to not add the   script to the article for preservation.  I applied the speedy tag within 10 minutes of the article's creation.  It should not have been hard to monitor the article for 10 minutes.  Again, I hope you have already read about the notability guidelines.  Please review your article and just because other webcomics are on Wikipedia does not mean your webcomic will be as well.  You must prove the notability of the subject with verifiable sources with neutral point of view and without conflict of interest.  May I suggest the new editor's guide on writing articles for light reading material before you start another article or attempt to resurrect your webcomic article?  Tip: If you are not ready to deploy a fully complete article for other Wikipedia editors for review, comment, tag, etc., please don't put it up until it's ready.  If you need a place to test your work, coding, etc., you can use the Sandbox in your namespace. Ex: <tt> User:Lord mark/Sandbox1 </tt>.  Happy Editing!

Foggaret Ezzaouia article
Hi. For what reason do you think this article (which I just created) is not noteworthy? There are much more articles about smaller places, and much shorter place-related articles. And how do you think can it be more wikified? --<font face="Futura, Helvetica, _sans"><span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#ddd7a3;padding:0 3px 0 3px;background:#aba67e;cursor:se-resize;">escon dites  09:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * General notability is in question here. I understand that you are trying to create articles for every single municipality and area in Algeria.  However, if your articles are really only three sentences each, then perhaps a table of all of your combined articles you've created.


 * For example, you can sort the table by name, Arabic name, lit. name, type of area (municipality, province, etc), location, country, population, representation in PMA, postal code, and municipal code. I believe that should cover your articles' bases.  Consider it.  If you believe this is not necessary and you believe you have enough information to expand every single article you've created with your three sentence template, feel free to remove the notability tag.  However, if you're not, I would suggest you merge all of them into one big table listing.

Thank you for tagging my article. I don't want you to think I'm just a newbie being sarcastic, I'm actually saying thanks; I didn't expect it to get a tag so quickly. That's the first article I've created, and hopefully in the near future I can make it more than a couple sentences. I also am hoping to build and expand other geology articles as well.

The time it took for you to post the tag was 1 minute. How do you even have time to research it? You would need a time-stopping stopwatch and an unimaginable broadband speed to do this (which I find highly unlikely).

Anyway, I'm not sure (it's been a while since I read the rules), but I thought CSD was only to be used for articles that were blatant vandalism and/or about obviously unnotable events, people, or things. Afd (as I recall) was for articles that you suspect to be false or unnotable.

 * There is publicity for this company. Plenty reviews, including the Washington Post, televised interviews in Canada and thousands of customers. I must therefore be misunderstanding exactly what is expect and I've read the guidelines.  The products were linked, but the page was still marked for deletion and so I removed the links thinking it was misconstrued as advertising.  I'm confused as to what exactly is lacking.  Links to all the press articles?  Thanks for taking the time with this. Blandish 08:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't tag the article for deletion when there were product links. In fact the only article history (the first one) is  "04:20, 4 December 2007 Blandish (Talk | contribs) (614 bytes) (Removed all links to product pages)"  So... I don't know what you're talking about.  However, I meant links as in internal Wikipedia links to already established articles, not just external links you can pull up on the company's website.  If you cannot justify the individual games as individual articles on Wikipedia, then the company producing them shall most likely be considered as not notable.  Also, the claim that there are numerous reviews, tv interviews, and what not have not been tagged as references for your article.  If you want your article to survive the speedy deletion, I'd suggest you dig up those interviews and reviews and start writing more about the company...which for you, it shouldn't be hard since you have a business affiliation of some sort with them anyways.  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

Tolstoj quadrangle
Hi, I'm curious what you think needs to be expanded on in Tolstoj quadrangle. You flagged it as needing expansion only a minute after I submitted it, so it must be something major, but I'm just not seeing it. Bryan Derksen 09:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Expanding your article as it is may not be necessary. However, as you are publishing this to Wikipedia, not necessary academic publishing, you are opening this article up for editing and as a new article that may trigger professionals in the field to evaluate and expand this article, I have tagged it for those purposes.


 * Wikification is to put the article up to par. Have you tried adding any pictures?  As this is an encyclopedia, it is also something on the internet as well.

 * Last but not least, your sources section is very extensive (I like it). However, can you please tag the specific sources you used with <tt> </tt> ?  It makes it easier for users to evaluate your sources to the paragraph(s) you wrote.  Peer editing is key here on Wikipedia.  Also, it makes your reference section uniformly formatted.

Hi there! I was about to move the above-named image to the Commons (to make it available to other projects), but I have a question about the copyright status. You noted on the upload that the photographer is Rodd Newcombe of FIT, but you don't indicate how the photo came to be in your possession. That is, you've not listed a source (if you got it from a website) or any other sort of information that indicates how you got it and why the copyright holder has released it as a GFDL image. In addition, the GFDL copyright tag you used was GFDL-self, which is fine if you happen to be Rodd Newcombe (and if that's the case, you can disregard the above concern about a source). If not, though, you'll have to switch to one of the other GFDL tags. Cheers! Esrever 16:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I'm not Rodd Newcombe. However, I got this image after he emailed it to me for Wikipedia upload.  I mean I have the email still, I'm just not comfortable with copy and pasting the entire email conversation just to prove fair use purposes.  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

 * Fair enough. Just make sure to note that the image isn't GFDL-self and perhaps put somewhere in your summary on the image's page that copyright information was given to you by email.  If someone objects, you may eventually have to forward that info on to someone, though. Esrever 17:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I've got another image question. The above image is listed as being available under a Creative Commons license. However, as a logo of the university, it is almost certainly copyrighted. I've changed the tag on that image and the other FIT logo to reflect that fact. Given the restrictions listed here, it's safe to assume that the university has not released this image under a free license. That being the case, you'll have to remove it from your userpage, as non-free images can't be used in userspace. Sorry! Esrever 16:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Likewise, the high school logo on your userpage probably needs to go as well. Though it may have been your efforts in Photoshop that extrapolated the logo, the logo itself remains copyrighted by the original creator. Thus, you can't release it under a free license.  Cheers! Esrever 17:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The Florida Tech logo was released to by Florida Institute of Technology University Publications, as stated. The Lowell logo, since it is a photoshopped piece of art, it should be ok.  However, noting your comments, instead of battling out who's right on this (I don't have time for this) I might just switch to random photos of the university and high school instead.  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

WP:UNI Guidelines
Just a heads up. I think you're doing great work for WP:UNI, but just be careful when you are referencing the article guidelines. As the tag on the top of that page states, they are not policy nor guidelines yet but rather are proposed guidelines. Until consensus is gained and the guidelines are approved they are not much more than some ideas that a few people have about university articles. If you are going to reference something I would suggest using WP:ORG and WP:N for deleting student union articles. This is what the WP:UNI guidelines are based on anyway, so it should have the same effect without the contention that you seem to be getting. If you have any thoughts or questions just let me know, but I thought I'd clear that up. Keep up the great work! — Noetic  Sage  22:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sphinx Head
Jameson L. Tai, I kindly request that you please reconsider your evaluation of the Sphinx Head Society article. The Society is an well-established institution on the Cornell campus, much like Quill and Dagger, whose page is untouched with such threats of deletion. Also, I do not know why the Sphinx Head page receives so much criticism when a great deal of the articles on the List of collegiate secret societies are much more poorly constructed and cited. As a co-creator of the article, I feel as if a free-standing page is deserved by a group who has committed over 117 years of service to one of the greatest Universities in the world. I know you have considerable qualms with the page, but I ask that you please help us to improve the free-standing version as opposed to just asking us to delete it and put it somewhere else. Your consideration, guidance, and support would be greatly appreciated. User:GoBigRed1865 (talk) 03:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for keeping a clear head when you sent me the message. Although I appreciate you keeping that message kind, my mind has been set on the deletion of the article, simply because it is what it is.  Your mention to the list of secret societies as well as not having AfDed other student union articles is really not supposed to be targeted towards your organization and I understand your frustrations.


 * Two of my earliest articles were deleted when I first started Wikipedia back in 2003 in my old account, and again when I proposed two student organization/union-related articles in 2005/2006, respectively. Trust me, I've tried to argue policy, notability, even pleaded with one of the editors to not speedy tag my article, and I thought that my article would stick, but two weeks later when I was bogged down with finals and other schoolwork, my organization article was deleted by another editor.


 * It is understandable and believe me, I've tried, but after weeks of researching those notability and now this set of university article guidelines as well, it really narrows down to what is acceptable and what isn't. Instead of going through with this battle that may end up wiping out your work (when they delete the article again, you won't even get the old history to retrieve the information to merge into the Cornell article), I suggest that you back up the current copy of the article, condense it into an acceptable length and just place it into the Cornell article.  Hindsight's 20/20, and for someone who's done this twice now, it's just easier to accept the rules and begin merging.  For an alternative approach to listing student organizations on campus, see Florida Institute of Technology.


 * And by the way, we're really not targeting you guys. WikiProject Universities is pretty small, we've only got about a handful of editors who actively participate in editing and discussing improvements on the potentially thousands of articles that are already listed that are affiliated with the project already, and possibly thousands more that haven't yet been affiliated or written.  We have no control over the secret societies, but we'll eventually get to the other student union/organizations.


 * Happy editing and good luck! <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L. Tai  <font face="Calibri" color="#660000">talk ♦ contribs 09:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense?
Hello Jameson. I have noticed at least two new pages that you have tagged with db-nonsense that do not meet the definition of WP:NONSENSE, which states: 1. Total nonsense, i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. This includes sequences such as "akdjaioodjosfd5sdgjgdsiu489eh4 ohe89dsgjoisdjgo4dgsjha[j'z", in which keys of the keyboard have been pressed with no regard for what is typed (or typed with the eyes closed). 2. Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever. I would like to suggest that you more thoroughly familiarize yourself with the speedy deletion criteria before continuing on new page patrol. Thanks — Travis talk  00:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hacking article
I noticed that you put a notability tag on the new Hacking article I am working on.

I personally feel this tag is controversial, since a Wikipedia article can be about any topic, as long as valid references can be provided. I know there are valid references on hacking. The most memorable one I have ever seen was one in the Baltimore Sun some years ago that described in detail the practice of hacking, its pitfalls for hacker and customer alike, and how local law enforcement was cracking down on such activity. As I have searched on Google for other sources on the topic, many of the articles I have found that are suitable as references also describe the city of Baltimore, which leads me to believe that Baltimore takes such action very seriously, perhaps more than many other cities.

In order to be more global, I am considering renaming the article to "Illegal taxicab operation" or something similar, and expanding its topic to also include the unlicensed operation of a marked taxicab vehicle (sometimes known as a "gypsy cab"). There are plenty of online references available on that. Hellno2 (talk) 20:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * In order to establish notability, please list the sources like the Baltimore Sun article you've mentioned. It is easy to believe a topic to be notable, but until you list the specific references per main point you're writing about in the article, it is not only technically not notable, but also unsourced.  As to renaming the article, I believe you should rename the article's title, but have the term hacking still in reference inside the article.  You may also want to establish a disambiguation for the term as well.  Happy Holidays!  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

County Routes
I can't find evidence that there are county routes with the same number as the ones in New Jersey, in other states. I just googled it and no evidence. So I just redirected to the New Jersey's county routes, like CR 509 to County Route 509 (New Jersey). And there isn't any articles about County Route 509, 510, 511, etc. in states other than New Jersey. NHRHS2010 Happy Holidays  03:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Syracuse University
Jameson,

I am not "blanking out" content from the Syracuse University website. I am a student at Syracuse University and I know for a fact that Syracuse is no longer affiliated with the Methodist Church. In fact, the school's website says that it cut ties from the church in 1920. Please visit this link and scroll down to 1920: http://www.syr.edu/aboutsu/chronology/1906.html.

Also, what gives you the right to block me from Wikipedia? My edits are as valid as the next person's, especially considering the fact that I am correcting errors on this page.


 * Actually, you were removing lines and lines of content from the article. And every administrator has the right to block you from editing Wikipedia.  The blocking section was part of a standard message automatically generated from undoing vandalism towards an article.  Please do not take offense, instead, try to understand this article's content and improve it.  Three articles accessed on June 30, 2007 pointed that SU is still in relations with the Methodist Church and your comments are uncalled for.  Please clear your head before approaching me again.  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

Jameson,

The only "lines and lines" of content that I removed was the content that referenced Syracuse University as related to the Methodist Church. The three sources that you cite are Methodist websites. The actual Syracuse University website, however, states that the University no longer maintains relations with the church. Given this conflict, I would imagine that the University's official website has precedence over third party sources.


 * Actually, although Wikipedia does accept .edu sources, it is better to use verified sources that are not the article subject's own website. However, noting what you're saying, Syracuse is still considered Methodist (if you know what I'm saying).  Just because it's no longer sectarian doesn't mean it doesn't have affiliations.  I'm not sure if I'm getting through to you or not...  Anyways, please establish a Wikipedia account, as anonymous IP accounts are known to frequently cause endless amounts of spam, and remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes .  This way people know where the comments came from and where to reply to.  The four tildes will act as a signature, which will indicate your username/IP address, a link to your talk page, as well as the time and date you posted the comment automatically.  <font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

Jameson,

Notwithstanding the fact that Syracuse is a member of the International Association of Methodist-related Schools, Colleges, and Universities (IAMSCU), Syracuse is NOT "considered Methodist." Mere membership in the IAMSCU does not make the school Methodist. For example, Northwestern University is a member of the the IAMSCU and was originally founded under Methodist auspices but is no longer affiliated with the church (please refer to Northwestern University). The same history holds true for Syracuse. Furthermore, Syracuse University maintains a chapel on campus and provides Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist services for it's students. There is no strong Methodist tradition alive at Syracuse University today. To say otherwise on the Wikipedia article would give prospective students the wrong impression of the school and is just patently false. (Ttiwed (talk) 04:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC))


 * OK... so who am I talking to now?? Am I still talking to the anonymous IP person now logged in to an old account named Ttiwed? or is Ttiwed a completely different person/roommate/or someone just started calling their friends about this issue?
 * Anyways, I suggest you take this conversation to the article's talk page. Yes, there's a discussion page on SU's article for a reason...this would be a prime example.<font face="Calibri" size="4px" color="#000066">- Jameson L.

You asked me to sign in and sign with four tildes so I did. There's really no reason for a roommate to come in and speak for me. Also, If you bothered to notice, I did take this conversation to the Syracuse University talk page about a month ago. Also, your perturbed tone is uncalled for. Please clear your head and get back to me later if you care to discuss further. Thanks bro. (Ttiwed (talk) 04:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC))

There's a list of college articles in the section, Rochester_Institute_of_Technology. Some of the colleges still need articles. There's a list of notable Alumni in the section Rochester_Institute_of_Technology and I started Category:Rochester_Institute_of_Technology_alumni. I've been asking for people to contribute the alumni list, but there hasn't been enough contributions to put it into it's own article.

AWB
Hello! I am just getting used to AWB myself, but here's how I use it to correct typos:
 * I turn on the option Enable RegexTypoFix (but no other options).
 * I pick a typo from the Lists_of_common_misspellings such as almsot or becuase and make a list using the "Make from Google Search" option.
 * I start the process and, if the suggestions are simple and reasonable (they are not always), I "save" to make the correction.

A few things to watch out for:
 * Though you can double-click bad edit suggestions to tell AWB not to make them, it will still include them in the edit summary! I don't know how to make it not do that, so in that case I just edit the page in a separate browser and tell AWB to ignore it.
 * AWB will find more typos than just the one you searched for, so make sure you want all of them before you accept changes! If I don't, again I just edit in a separate browser.

I am also a big fan of User:Lupin/Live_spellcheck and the other pages that use the anti-vandal tool, and actually do most of my typo checking and anti-vandalism patrolling with these. Have you tried them?

Hope this helps. Happy New Year! KathrynLybarger (talk) 06:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:2007 the crimson format switch.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2007 the crimson format switch.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. 1 != 2 17:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, first I am not a bot which is what I assume you mean when you said "crawly thing". Secondly copyrighted images must be used under a fair use rational and a) cannot be used outside of the article space, and b) cannot be hosted on Wikipedia unless it is used in such a manner in at least one article.

Please do not revert the removal of these images from your sandbox. 1 != 2 23:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

If you are working on an article that needs these images, but it is not ready for the article space yet then you can save them to your hard drive and use placeholder images till you are ready, then upload them. 1 != 2 23:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review of Savannah State University

 * I've been around for a while, basically moving all over the place as my interests vary. Thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer to delete comments after the thread is done. It just makes it easier for me. I can always review in history if I need to go back to something and it also makes the pests of Wikipedia have to work harder (smile).
 * I wasn't worried about being blocked by the admin...I expressed my side of the issue and she was fine with it.
 * I appreciate your good hopes, but I and others who edit articles related to Georgia colleges and universities have had problems with a particular editor before. If you look at the Savannah State history you will see where he was responsible for blanking the entire page at one point because he said he found copyvio material on the page. It took an admin to get him to leave the page alone. Hopefully other editors will keep him in check because I'm done with the issue.

A new round of Collaboration of the Fortnight is about to begin!
Yes, it's that time again. New articles have been added. I finished this process early because I'll be running around packing and sorting out Friday's weather patterns so I can get back to Florida in time. Just in case things don't go well, at least I don't sabotage the COTF program. Anyways, the three new articles will start on Friday and you may edit the three technically still in COTF (although I've placed the collaboration-past tags already) or you may start editing early.

Here's something I want to try, start treating it as a peer review. Start by skimming through the article, making sure the article fits our article guidelines. Then review for content: any copyvio, notability issues, reference listings, following the Manual of Style.

And here's something even more radical. See if you can attract authors currently maintaining the different COTF articles to join our WikiProject and better yet, our COTF project. I found when I started this program, jumping ships and editing other universities' articles was a big leap, but it's been very fun so far. I'd like to see more people actively participating.

Let's start off the new year the right way. I want to see those articles in GAR and FAN soon. I was sad we didn't have enough people working on the Harvard article to push it to FA or GA. But no matter, let's start fresh and begin!
