Your repeatitous taggings as invalid fair-use on the image of Media Control
This is taken from Germany's wikipedia and it is available in  creative commons. I actually explained this in the discussion-page of Media Control, but seems like you have not come across that.--Harout72 (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You still need to tag it properly. You currently have it tagged as a wikipedia screenshot, which it's not.  If it's a creative commons image, you need to tag it as such. Retropunk (talk) 05:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

tag
Most or all of these are photographs that I have taken of sculpture and have both the tags and. I interprete this as  applying to the sculpture and  applying to my photograph. Wmpearl (talk) 02:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is those images are considered as derivate works, and unless you're given authorization to make those copies, I'm not certain if you can even use . Retropunk (talk) 04:34, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with the University of Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:31, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:33, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
