Collaboration
I've been trying to get a collaboration together to bring Thief: The Dark Project to GA status. GuyinBlack25 suggested I ask if you want to be a part of it, because of your work on the semi-related System Shock 2. So, would you be interested? JimmyBlackwing (talk) 17:45, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great. I've already written a gameplay section that's fairly content-complete, although rough in the prose department, and I've started work on a development section. I haven't gotten to the other sections yet, and they're pretty bad; it's going to be a pain. But collaborations make everything smoother, so it shouldn't be utterly horrible. As a side note, I'm flattered that you used SS as a model for SS2. It's a shame your FACs were shot down. I'd offer to collaborate on it and see if we could take it to FA, but I haven't played it yet and want to avoid spoilers. Anyway, glad you're up for the collab, and I look forward to editing with you. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 22:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Where You Go I Go Too
Hi Noj r! I've noticed that you've nominated Where You Go I Go Too for GA. I'm afraid I don't have time to conduct an assessment at the minute but thought I'd let you know that you need to include a 'personnel' section to even get up to 'C' class for album articles (see WikiProject_Albums and WikiProject_Albums/Assessment) Cavie78 (talk) 10:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Howdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change. So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor. For this edition of the COTW, we have partly by request and in honor of the return of college football, Duck football and Beaver football.

Thief: The Dark Project
Thanks to help from User:Theleftorium, User:Hahnchen and User:Mitaphane, I have obtained enough high-quality print reviews to prevent the article's FAC from being compromised by LexisNexis/Highbeam. I remember watching System Shock 2's FAC get dragged down by this, so I'm glad the chances of it happening again are slim.

I have been working off-and-on to improve Thief; I've almost finished citing Plot, and I've been copyediting certain sections. The remaining hurdles include: a minor expansion and reworking of the Development section, due to references that I have recently obtained; a rewriting and restructuring of Reception, now that the necessary sources have been located; a copyedit of the entire article; and the Legacy section. Over the next week, I'll be tackling the first three. Will you be able to do Legacy? If the above steps are completed, I believe that the GAN-PR-FAC process will be smooth and painless. This article has come together very nicely in no time at all; it'd be great to take it all the way. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 09:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I just wanted to update you on how the article's coming, and see if you were still on board. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 04:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've started work on converting the references to the Notes-References format. I'm going to make it a GAN in the meantime, since it'll probably take awhile for a reviewer to show up; I'll be done by then. I doubt that there will be any major concerns at GAN, so the rest of the big work will take place during the pre-FAC peer review and FAC itself. Just thought I'd update you, and make sure I got your approval on the article's nomination, since you're a major contributor. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 02:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Just in case you didn't notice the note left or haven't looked so far: I finished the GA review of Where You Go I Go Too. Hekerui (talk) 19:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Genres
Hey - no one else responded but me to your question about breaklines in the infobox, so I think it's ok to change it in the rule set to what you were suggesting... but don't blame me if someone goes crazy afterwards - though I think you're justified in changing it at this point as no one has showed any disagreement yet. :) Luminifer (talk) 09:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. NOW they say something. So it goes... but if you have a valid reason to do it the other way, you can now present your case and someone might listen. Luminifer (talk) 19:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I know that a lot of editors in those pages have what I consider to be inappropriate attitudes for wikipedia (in fact, I'm contesting it at Wikiquette alerts because I was personally attacked by a few of them... if you're new to wiki it might be interesting reading for you - I have no idea how it'll turn out)... So, glad to help, though I think it's going to stay as comma-based infoboxes for now :) Luminifer (talk) 06:04, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

It's sunny out, quick take a picture!
Greetings to WikiProject Oregon folks. It is time again for another installment of as the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. A big thank you to last time’s guest stars who worked on Oregon tax revolt‎ and creating hospital articles, we had 3 DYKs off the hospital articles createdd. This week is the star-studded affair of the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, starring. You can go out and take a picture, browse through Commons for an existing one, or search for a free one on the Internet, and in some cases remove an old request (or even add a request to an article that has no images). See the bottom of this page for some links to a variety of free sources. Again, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

Project 86
I found this article on the CHristian Metal Wikiproject. I'll help you out with promoting it to GA/FA. I'm going to look for some images, mainly to replace the one in the infobox.  TheWeak Willed   (T * G) 05:01, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi N, I came over here to tell you that I finally added a couple of things to my review, and saw this note. I said that I'd pass the article even without better images, especially in the infobox, but I think we should wait until WW comes through.  There's no hurry, anyway.  It's the holidays, and we're all busy!


 * Now I must vent. One of the articles I work on, The Wiggles, is very light on images too, mostly because there just isn't that many free use images out there.  I did find, though, someone on Flickr who had been to some concerts over the summer who had taken some great pics, and I asked her if we could use them.  She agreed to go to Commons and download them over a month and a half ago, but there's only been complete silence after that, and I even emailed her!  I hope she's all right.  I really don't know what to do about it; I may just "steal" them, since she agreed to donate them and Flickr is for free-use as a rule, anyway.  There may be nothing to do about it at all.  Man, I hate powerlessness!  I'm just not enough like Jesus for it to not bother me, even just a little bit, ya know? Thanks for letting me share. ;) --Christine (talk) 13:47, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Noj r, I went ahead and passed this article, even without the above-mentioned images, and mostly because User:Wizardman brought it up. I suggest that you follow up on it, though. Congratulations, and happy new year! --Christine (talk) 06:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

PayLess at Sprouse-Reitz for your G.I. Joe's, brought to you by Troutman's Emporium and Frederick & Nelson
Hello WikiProject Oregon member, and seasons greetings. Here at Collaboration Of The Week we thank you for your efforts making Oregon better, at least on Wikipedia, and hope you are doing better than Joe's. Or, in the eloquent words of some marketing manager for another now defunct Oregon chain, ''Merry Christmas from PayLess... Merry Chriiiistmaaaasssss!!!''

Now that pleasantries have been exchanged, thank you to those who worked on the last two collaborations, the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, and Oregon Country Fair and Geoff Petrie. For this edition of the COTW we have Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County. The hope for the later is to fill in the last few images (5) and then see if we can make it the first NRHP list in Oregon with an article for every entry (need 27).

One last time for 2009
Happy New Year to you, you WikiProject Oregon member! Tis the season for one last Collaboration Of The Week to get started this year. Thank you to those who worked on Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County the last few weeks. For the final COTW of 2009, we have Archiving Article Talk Pages and Mr. Standard TV & Appliance, Bill Schonely. For the archiving, we have a lot of old, stale comments on article talk pages from before 2009 that should be archived away, so that new comments are not added to things that either were addressed or not worth addressing. Personally, I archive anything older than a year. Anyway, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Adios.

Ninja Gaiden (NES)
Hey Noj r,

If you get any time, you think it's possible to look at Ninja Gaiden (NES) again? It just got promoted to A-Class, and I'm looking to hopefully get it up to FA sometime in the (near) future. I'm going to try to work on any improvements using WP:1A and WP:PLUSING as well. Thanks, –MuZemike 04:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Greetings WikiProject Oregon team member. Time for the first new Collaboration Of The Week in 2010. Thank you to those who worked on Bill Schonely and archiving talk pages.

Just Out, COTW does well in new decade
Howdy WikiProject Oregon folks, time again for the latest installment of As the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. Last week was one of the more successful COTWs in recent memory as we really worked hard as a community to improve Concordia University and Berry Botanic Garden. Both are now at least C class articles and nicely illustrated (thanks to Tedder, Finetooth, and Ipoellet). Plus it really was a group effort as we had five different WPORE editors work on the garden and ditto with the school, with some overlap between the two.

Anyway, this week, we have by request the completely unrelated Just Out and Terrell Brandon. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

Oregon COTW and randomness
Greetings fellow WikiProject Oregon member, it is once again time for the Collaboration of the Week (yes, I know they are not actually every week anymore). Thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving Terrell Brandon, Just Out, 75th Oregon Legislative Assembly, and all the unreferenced BLPs. This week we have by request Oregon Coast Aquarium and Arvydas Sabonis (maybe the Blazers can sign him as I think he's healthy). Both need more sourcing. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. And remember folks, the only thing we have to fear is death and taxes, unless of course the dingo ate your baby, at which point you may feel the need, the for speed to get away from said dingos, which in turn can lead to a failure to communicate due to the dynamics of sound waves, though at some point hopefully we can all just get along.

Hello WikiProject Oregon member, time for a new edition of the Collaboration of the Week. Thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving Oregon Coast Aquarium and Arvydas Sabonis. Also thank you to those few of you helped with the attempt to celebrate Women's History Month with Barbara Roberts and Ursula K. Le Guin.

This week we have by request the Memorial Coliseum that has been in the news a lot lately, and then one of the more important political figures in our state's history, Douglas McKay.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon member, time for the next edition of the Collaboration of the Week. Thanks to those who assisted in improving a few articles over the last month. For May Day edition of the COTW (in Wikipedia time its May already), we have by request Rim Village Historic District and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (AKA OMSI).

Fair use rationale for File:And_Shot_Each_Other.ogg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:And_Shot_Each_Other.ogg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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. 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Project 86 2002 Promo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Project 86 2002 Promo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 03:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Thought you were gone for good
I just noticed the December edit you made to your sandbox—your first activity in a year. I never thought you were coming back; hopefully, everything's fine on your end. If you do indeed plan to resume editing, it'll be nice having you around again. As for me, I've been planning recently to create a Looking Glass Studios games Featured Topic, and your work on System Shock 2, along with our combined work on Thief: The Dark Project, is going to make that goal a lot easier to reach. I plan to build both of those articles up to FA over the next year, and I'm currently working on the half-complete Flight Unlimited; I hope to bring that to FA, as well. Anyway, glad to see you're alive, at least. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 10:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey! And yeah, I periodically check the contributions of vanished editors who I wish were still around. It'll be great to have you back. If I don't burn out before I get to Thief and SS2 in a few months, I'd definitely appreciate the help. I'll probably start in on those after I'm done with Flight Unlimited, which I hope to finish within the next two months. I bought/inter-library loaned quite a few print sources for Flight; I was really surprised at how much development information there is on this game, since almost none of it is readily available online. The Development section is already pretty big, but I've still got about 2x worth of expansion to do. It's insane. Anyway, good luck with those music articles.

Your GA nomination of Romeo Void
The article Romeo Void you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed.

Shoegaze
I saw on the Alt-rock WikiProject page that you intend to work on shoegaze articles. Got anything specific in mind? WesleyDodds (talk) 06:56, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to help out if you have something specific you seek assistance with. I'm not sure if I have any sources on hand that might be helpful for those particular pages you mentioned (although if you ever want to work on some MBV articles, the 33 1/3 Loveless book I own will be an asset since it covers more than just that album--the author pretty much covers the band's entire career, assisted by rambling Kevin Shields interviews). I did want to comment on the music style section for Romeo Void, which I feel is too reliant on reviews, which at the end of the day are opinion pieces as opposed to news pieces focused on hard facts. For a musical style section, you want to look for sources that break down the nuts and bolts of the music--this is where guitar magazines will be particularly helpful. See R.E.M. and Nirvana (band) for examples of how to do that; bear in mind most of the groups you'll write pages on won't have sections that big, though. The Void section does start to fit that mold better with the final paragraph, so that's the avenue you want to expand upon. WesleyDodds (talk) 07:48, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

WPORE COTW 2.0 - the picture edition
Greetings one and all. For some of you, this will be your first time receiving one of these messages, as it has been a year since the WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week (COTW) was a regular thing. My hope is it gets back to being a regular thing.

Usually I would go over the past COTW, but we are basically starting out anew. So, without further adieu, this edition is our semi-annual picture drive. We usually try to do it when there is decent weather in the state, and today seems to fit the bill. Now although you are encouraged to go out and take pictures, you can also just search the internet for images that have the proper licensing and upload those. Flickr is one site that has a fair amount of content with the proper licensing (most images on Flickr are not compatible). See WP:COPYRIGHT in general. For some “free” sources, check out the our dormant subproject that has some links to sources.

Lastly, if you need to know what images we need, here are the requests. Please remove the request from the talk page if you add an image.

Finally (this is not image related), as the years have passed, we have lost many good editors, and others, like myself, are no longer in school or are working full-time or both, and thus are less active in the project. The project lives on, but it has created a bit of a power vacuum without a de facto cabal still around all the time. With that in mind, I encourage newer project members to step-up and fill some leadership type roles. Granted, we have no formal ruling junta or anything and no real defined roles, but there are many maintenance type tasks that some of us just took on to keep the project going. For instance, I ran the COTW, was pretty much the only one doing assessments, updating the portal, and even handing out the awards. I am sure others in the project can name what things they have done. The point being, that while I enjoyed those and still do some of those, I simply no longer have the free time to do all of it at a level that the project deserves. That said, I hope to start a discussion at WT:ORE where we can see if some newer editors would like to step-up and take on some of these tasks, which will hopefully make for a more inclusive project, and maybe get us back to the heyday of say 2008 when things were really rocking for WikiProject Oregon.

Orphaned non-free image File:Pipedream.ogg
 Thanks for uploading File:Pipedream.ogg. 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.

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).

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:23, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
