American history task force
User:Davidlwilliamson has expressed an interest in helping WP:HAWAII sort history articles. I've asked him to contact you about the American history task force. I would be happy to add a ushistory=yes to American history articles related to Hawaii as we would like to encourage more collaboration with the history project. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 12:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba (talk) 19:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Article importance tag
John Carter and Phoenix-wiki, I'd like to ask you both about the utility of the "article importance" rating that I recently commented out of the Wikiproject Robotics template. My instinct is that the very last thing I need to hear is "Dan says my article is more important than yours". Did this fill any essential function in any previous Wikiproject? Is there some mistake we're likely to make because we misjudge the importance of Roomba or Robot? - Dan Dank55 (talk) 00:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Phoenix, this is just a heads-up that the argument continues among John Carter, JamesonTai and myself on my talk page...maybe it won't last long, maybe it will move to WP:ROBO/AEL. - Dan Dank55 (talk) 14:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

articles needing history
I thought about creating a page where they can be listed, on second thought a category approach might be better. What's your opinion? Wandalstouring (talk) 17:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

layout
You might want to move the navigation banner up a bit on your userpage so it isn't covered by the image. In fact, I'll be bold and do it for you. (I seem to have developed a habit of nitpicking on your user page. :p) Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 01:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Help Wiki
Hi, I'm not sure if you know this already but Help Wiki was shutdown and at my request AGK has given me the xml data for all the pages so we don't loose our hard work. At the moment I'm still thinking over what to do with the content but I think incorporating it back into Wikipedia is the way to go. Unfortunately I don't think the CC license used is compatible with the GNUFDL(its the no commercial restriction in the CC license that is the problem). Anyway if I am going to incorporate that pages back into Wikipedia I'll need you to release your work under the GNUFDL, just something like "I agree to release my work under the GNUFDL" will be fine. If you have any other suggestions or comments feel free to tell me them. -- Chris  09:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Coaching
I resign.

I've moved your coaching page to your userspace for safekeeping.

Maybe you can help coach the other students at the VC.  Th e Tr ans hu man ist   03:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Battery_chicken.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Battery_chicken.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 03:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
