User talk:Slgrandson/Waterbury archive 4

Just a heads up...
I moved your old RfA back into place, and the current one to Requests for adminship/Slgrandson 2, as per the standard naming scheme for multiple RfAs. No worries, just letting you know. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 22:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey there, just FYI, I left you a question on your RfA. Feel free to take your time answering. Cheers, Tiptoety  talk 00:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tantamount_cover.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tantamount_cover.JPG. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 09:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA
Hey Slgrandson, sorry to say that I've closed your RfA as unsuccessful. You had a reasonable level of support but the opposers and neutrals outweighed that. I hope it doesn't terminally dissuade you from running again, take a look at the opposition rationales and, if you choose to do so, act on them and run again soon. Feel free to give me a shout if you'd like to discuss anything. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 17:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

external image
If you want changes to the official policy for external image, discuss it. Adding an example that is not in accordance with the guidelines is no solution. Wandalstouring (talk) 14:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

FLC
Thanks for the note - just to make sure, you want me to weigh in on the FLC, not peer review it again, right? I am fairly backlogged at WP:PR but will try to get to it in the next day or two. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, I did not get a chance to look at List of The Bellflower Bunnies episodes again until yetserday and saw it had already not passed at FLC. I agree with the comments about it needing a copyedit - WP:LoCE or WP:PRV are two places to ask. Do you still want my comments? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

NYC Meetup: June 1, 2008
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

Wikis Take Manhattan
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

LAST YEAR'S EVENT


 * Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008 (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
 * Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery (our cool gallery)

WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:


 * Wikis Take Manhattan page at The Open Planning Project

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. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

deletion of swisha
I wanted to know why you deleted the page "Swisha" that I attempted to create yesterday. I provided articles written at universities about the artist as well as myspace and facebook pages of more than just the artist that I was writing about. The artist also had sufficient information on his own facebook and myspace page as well as video footage. furthermore, more can be found on youtube about the artist and all of the affilliations written about the artist. These websites are relevant information for artists and public figures and this is where a large part of the media gets their information about artists. Also, there are wiki pages of artists that use myspace and facebook as credible sources so why not now?

Proposed deletion of Arthur Singer
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Arthur Singer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * It hasn't had a productive content edit since it was created in 2007, and lacks any information other than the one sentence. It also lacks sources. All of this suggests a lack of notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (File:McNasty, Lumpy and Bones.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:McNasty, Lumpy and Bones.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

RE: Really old sock puppet case
I logged in for the first time in a few years and saw a whole bunch of stuff about sock-puppetry. From what I looked at, it seems my account was hi-jacked for a period of time and many, if not all edits made by my account where not from me and I am sorry if they caused you any trouble. What is strange is the IP user also accused in the sock puppet case is on the same Verizon ISP subnet as me. This leads me to believe that someone I know had access to my computer and account, or is at least near me. A have no idea who “Angry gnome” is and I am in no way connected to that user. \/\/@&#124;&#124;@(3 (talk) 22:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The Care Bears Movie GAR
As a major contributor to The Care Bears Movie, I thought you'd want to know that that article is currently under going a Good Article Reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps. The article currently fails the good article criteria, as detailed at Talk:The Care Bears Movie/GA1. Its reassessment is on hold for seven days to allow time for the issues to be addressed.

Fair use rationale for File:Cat R. Waul introduces Tanya.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cat R. Waul introduces Tanya.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Guest9999 (talk) 19:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Visalini CSD
Just thought I'd let you know I switched the CSD tag on Visalini since the creator blanked it (likely while you were typing the first one :) ). If you have any problems feel free to let me know/revert it Jamesofur (talk) 06:47, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
