WikiProject Georgia
Hey Presidentman,

I saw that you posted something on the WikiProject Georgia Talk page and I'm sure that it won't get answered there. :[ I noticed on the page that there was another statement posted on there that someone else wanted to make the WikiProject Southern Georgia page a taskforce of the Georgia one. I left a message here on the Wikipedia WikiProject Council to see if I could get someone's attention on the matter. I even contacted about four different admins and no response yet. Ugh. I dunno.

New Quiz and Template
I made a new template for notifications. Also, once we get going on these quizzes, we can put an answer key in the Bin so that Scorers who did not make the quiz can still check answers.  EW  i kist Talk 15:30, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiQuizes Drafts
I created another subpage, Drafts, for us to start building quizzes in. Like the Bin, I didn't put a link to it in the menu because it could contain the answers to quizzes. Also, a made a template,, for making quizzes. I'm not sure how convenient it'll be, so we'll have to find out.  EW  i kist Talk 18:46, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Two judges per week.
Greetings! At WikiProject United States courts and judges, we have bot-created thousands of articles on United States federal judges. Of those 1,272 currently still have their bot-made cleanup tag. If just a dozen editors will each commit to cleaning up just two of those articles every week, we will conquer the entire list within the year. Most of the articles are quick and easy to clean up, requiring only a few minor adjustments of bot-created awkward wording. Please consider joining this effort, and committing to cleaning up two judges per week for the year. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:18, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Athens, Georgia
I noticed that you nominated Athens, Georgia as part of the set nomination to be distributed later. On one hand, that is a logical nomination. On the other, the article is "C" class. Editors mainly add musicians to "notables", but almost no serious editing occurs. I have no idea how to get it into whatever shape is needed. Everything there, except for the blasted musicians, is probably "okay."

The other problem, since there will be some sort of deadline, is keeping it in whatever shape its in. "Sufficient", but not excessive vandalism occurs, bad edits, misguided editors, etc. Somewhat worse than average. No big deal usually except when you have a deadline!

Orphaned non-free image File:Wilfordbrimleyquakerad.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Wilfordbrimleyquakerad.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 16:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Manitoba283.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Manitoba283.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. 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. Courcelles 05:04, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Macula risk page
Howdy,

I am new to the world of wiki pages, but I am the senior Marketing manager at the company responsible for Macula Risk. I have sent an E-mail to the permissions-en@wikipedia.org address requesting that the page be released

None of the materials used in the descriptor in proprietary and I have tried to add the proper references to the material as well (as a lab developed test, there is no 'proprietary information' that Arctic would only share with regulators.

If you have any further questions, or if I need to provide more information, please contact me directly at gerry.belgraver@arcticdx.com

Regards,

US 66
I saw you joined up and started tagging articles, so thanks! I sent a message to a user who is familiar with project banners; hopefully he can straighten out the WP:USHIST banner so those articles can get tagged as well. I've also asked at WP:NRHP, so hopefully we can tag some of their articles as well. –Fredddie™ 22:47, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a side note, but you might want to discuss exact scope before tagging stuff. U.S. Route 491, while it was previously US 666, might not be the sort of article we had in mind for the task force. I don't believe we had any intentions of dealing with the US X66s because that would dilute the focus on The Mother Road itself. Just my 2¢.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Dude - I am a shareholder in the company and have sent all kinds of permission stuff everywhere (Look at the Macula Risk page....). Look around? If I had the vaguest notion on how to get things done here instead of this Stalinist veboten attitude I am running into, confounded by syntax that a normal person like myself does not want to get entrenched in, it would be helpful

Tell me what I need to do, not what I am not allowed to do, or the general rules of copyright, etc...

Just so I understand- you decided (based upon guidelines that are not clear to me) to block the page I created, and now you are telling me to go to some higher power ( WP:ANB. The administrators (senior Wikipedians) there will be able to help you more on this matter.)

Is there a reason why the page is still blocked?

You have now told me i have done something wrong, and told me to go to another mystery wicket. I feel like I am trapped in a Kafka novel. Please state the specific issues you feel I have transgressed, and then I can go to the WP: ANB mystery location to go argue these.

Right now, I have a very vague idea of who/what I am arguing with. Why not unblock my page while I go and find out who these WP: ANB folks are and what they want?

AGT Season 6 auditions
My edits on the America's Got Talent (season 6) page are not me trying to own the article, but expressing the consensus among multiple editors last season that we should list auditions that did not pass. The reason was that the article shouldn't be a directory. If you look at both articles for America's Got Talent (season 4), and America's Got Talent (season 5), you will see that the list of rejected acts was taken off. There was a whole discussion on it, too (back when we still had a separate page for listing auditions). The link to that is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/America%27s_Got_Talent_(season_5_auditions). I'm not trying to own the article, I'm just trying to express previous opinions and consensus. Gamer9832 (talk) 01:26, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 12:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I have re-reverted the edit. As Delta described the first removal - this is overuse. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:45, 8 June 2011 (UTC)


 * As is explained a couple of times, this is overuse. Moreover, you are getting close to WP:3RR.  Please get consensus for inclusion first.  Thanks.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 12:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I wish people would actually read the notes I leave on talk pages instead of blindly reverting, sigh. Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Idaho, I detailed the exact reasons for removing them there. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 23:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I  did  read your note, but it just was not helpful. - Presidentman (Talkback) Random Picture of the Day 23:53, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Then did you read, WP:NFC (Numbers 1,3 and 8), WP:OVERUSE, and WP:NFLISTS? They make it fairly clear that your usage is not allowed. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 23:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I did read those, but only after Beetstra made the above comment. - Presidentman (Talkback) Random Picture of the Day 00:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So you saw my message linking to all of those topics, ignored it, didnt bother to read up on the information that I was trying to point out, instead you basically ignored the note which clearly stated exactly why the files where removed, violated a core policy. Why? you couldnt be bothered to spend a few minutes reading the associated links that I provided in my note? Also talk back messages are obnoxious, I have a watchlist for a reason, I use it very well, so please do not leave any more of those god awful things on my talk page. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 00:28, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * What I mainly wonder is, that if someone removes all these images and leave a notice, then why that person, after reading the notice, still consistently reverts. I can understand that the notice was unclear (quote: "I  did  read your note, but it just was not helpful."), but why not ask for clarification, why just revert?  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 08:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Because, all the message said was that the pictures failed WP:NONFREE, I read that but no where did I see that they violated. - Presidentman (Talkback) Random Picture of the Day 10:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A) the images did not have a rationale (which is one of the requirements described), and b) it is a list-type article, where it would be overuse. Both described in the WP:NONFREE policy you quote ('all the message said was that the pictures failed WP:NONFREE').  And why did you not ask for clarification then (I'm just trying to understand, maybe we are unclear in what we say, and we should try to be more clear when we do this)?  Thanks.  (Oh, by the way, you don't need to leave me talkback notices either, I'm keeping an eye on this discussion as well.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 11:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, (b) is stated by the policy, but, as a matter of fact, my images  do  have a rationale. And, by the way, I did ask for clarification (it's right under the first message), but there was no response so I reverted. - Presidentman talk·contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 11:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, maybe I was wrong about a, though I am sure that some were marked as lacking rationale - anyway, it was overuse, and that was what Delta said when he removed them ("17:58, 6 June 2011 Δ (talk | contribs | block) (-2221) (remove non-free content overuse) (undo)". And anyway, giving someone 25 minutes to respond to your question is maybe a bit short.  But lets let it be, I would suggest that you make a selection of one or two 'standard' plates, giving them a bit of a description in the text.  There seem to be basic features which come back quite a bit.  I hope this helps.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 11:31, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Crown of Castile.png


A tag has been placed on File:Crown of Castile.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
