Thanks for your new article!
Hi there, and thanks a lot for adding your new article Union Organizer. It's a good one! I haven't really edited it much, but have fixed some of the wikilinks, if you were wondering why the article was changing as if by magic! If you click the History button at the top of your article you'll see all the edits made to the article. If you click the "Last" button, you'll see what text was added or removed. Thanks again for your hard work. Best regards Tree Kittens 04:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * By the way, perhaps you had not noticed the differently spelled, but far smaller existing article called Union organiser...


 * I've now merged the older and far smaller article into your much better one. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work Tree Kittens 03:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Tree Kittens for reviewing the article. I did not previously know of the Organiser article. I would love to have a worldwode view presented but my knowledge is limited to the American labor movement and I wanted to "k.eep i.t s.hort and s.weet" as we say here. I have also edited the text to read "organizer" rather that the alternative in the interest of grammatical consistency. I am glad the Australian article has been combined with mine so as to appeal to the broadest audience possible and offer a wider range of knowledge. Thanks for complimenting my work and taking an interest.

 * You are most welcome. Don't worry about the worldwide view issue - the article is still very new and other editors are bound to add those perspectives in time. I am only a few days older than you here, and I have found this resource to be very useful for how to add links and formatting markup: WP:CHEAT. I hope it helps. Thanks again for your good work.

Commercial use of Image:Cesar-chavez-USPS-1-.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Cesar-chavez-USPS-1-.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Cesar-chavez-USPS-1-.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Cesar-chavez-USPS-1-.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:56, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Please excuse me for trying to use the image of Cesar Chavez. I would like to spice up the piece with some graphics-I guess I will have to find free images.

Union organizer
Hi MarcWmA, welcome to Wikipedia. I saw the article Union organizer, that you started, and took the liberty of adding it to the list of new articles at WP:UNION. Cheers, --Bookandcoffee 10:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Union organizer, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know where you can improve it if you see fit. Thanks, Bookandcoffee 19:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Bookandcoffee I appreciate the nomination and am glad that you read and liked it.

MarcWmA 13:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Andrew. I'm glad you like the topic and consider it worth knowing about.

Personal organizer
Hi again. I notice that you keep re-inserting a wikilink to Union organizer in the article Personal organizer. The two articles are clearly not related, as one is about a diary and the other is about trade unionism. Are you sure you are not misreading the title? Best regards Tree Kittens 20:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Tree Kittens. The article about Union organizer is a good one but you're linking to it from articles where it has no or very little relevance.  I'm letting some of the links stand but reverting several others.  I suggest that you discuss the issue here or in an article talk page before you restore the links.  In Personal organizer, Tree Kittens gave an edit summary explaining the deletion.  It would have been good Wikipedia etiquette for you to address that explanation instead of merely reverting. JamesMLane t c 05:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Please pardon my Wikipedia etiquette, I'm new at this. My reasons for the link are that Union Organizers are commonly refered to as "Organizers" in the colloquial and also that I want to draw attention to the article. I am willing to concede the point. Thank you Tree Kittens and James for reading my article and contributing your thoughts.

MarcWmA 13:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No worries MarcWmA. I will look at other ways of fixing this issue (disambiguation) so it's no problem. It is good to use edit summaries as Wikipedia is a collaborative project where articles are edited by many people at once, so it helps to see what other people have done to the article. Keep up the good work and best regards Tree Kittens 23:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've turned Organizer into a disambiguation page now, which means that if anyone just searches for the word "organizer" they will see a page offering them different uses of the term, including Union organizer. Hope this helps. By the way - you can be bold in your edits - you can ruthlessly edit the material I merged to the top of your article if you don't like how it flows. I only put it there as part of the merge and didn't really edit it because I don't know much about the topic. Your work is a major contribution. Best regards, Tree Kittens 21:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Tree Kittens. I wrote it to be read so I'm glad someone did. Thanks for calling my work a "major contribution."
