AIV
Hi. It seems, your report to AIV did get that IP blocked. Always nice to see that Wikpedia actually works in the way I pretend it does! By the way, I had trouble finding your report to AIV because you wrote it without logging in. You're of course absolutely free to do so but it's always more convenient to be able to follow contributions of registered users. Cheers and happy editing. Pascal.Tesson 22:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help Pascal! Kind regards. Steve

RE: Serial Vandal
Thank you for following up on that user. I saw where they were blocked, so it looks like you did well. Let's hope that they learn something from the block. Thanks again... --JFreeman (talk) 00:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Empty
Empty articles such as the vineyard stubs you have been creating are in fact very strongly deprecated. The problem is that by creating a blue link, they give a false impression that an article exists. It is far far better to leave the article unwritten - a red link highlights the need for an article and can be detected by "wanted article" listing bots. -- RHaworth 20:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Definitely second that. All of these will be deleted. When you actually have what to write, recreate it then. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 20:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

OK..point well taken. I'll create them as I have content to add. Thanks and apologies. Steve.Moulding 20:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your comments
I apologize. I was not aware that I made any personal attacks. In fact, I am pretty sure I did not. If you interpreted my comments in that way, however, I am dearly sorry. I will be sure to review my comments more closely before posting them. dool325 00:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks, I will try to help as much as I can Char leen mer ced 06:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

Interested in working on some JoP articles?
I don't think the opposers on the Judgement of Paris move have a grasp of how significant the wine tasting event was. Which is a fair consideration. I think it would probably be best to work on some of the relevant JoP articles with linkings to help convey it. I think it is clear that the scope of articles affected by the wine tasting event is much more then the mythology story and that is probably our best angle to help show our fellow Wikipedian that a disambig page is the best service to the reader.

Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/The1uncle
I don't know precisely what to do. The new articles look a little better, but they still seem a bit off to me. Some seem to be about real people and things, but they reference discogs a lot, which seems to be a less than reliable source (user created?). IronGargoyle 01:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it alright if I use you as an example?
I've started the rough draft page for the newsletter and I wanted to use you as an example about sub-projects. Please take a look and let me know if this is alright. WikiProject Wine/Newsletter. Thanks! AgneCheese/Wine 20:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course! Thankyou! I'll take a more detailed look at the newsletter tonight. -- Steve.Moulding 21:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi! Just noticed that you reverted vandilism on my userpage earlier. Cheers! Will 20:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wiki-Winos
Hey Steve! I was curious if you would be interested in participating in an upcoming Wiki-Winos feature for the Wine Project Newsletter. If you are, take a look at the Interview Questionnaire and feel free to answer any or all of the questions that you like. You might also consider dropping off a nominee for the next Wine Improvement Drive Article. Thanks! AgneCheese/Wine 19:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Carmenere

 * I ordered about 10 different Carmeneres today from my Wine guy at the Liquor Store....Some will be here by Friday, can't wait. I will get the labels from those as well. I also ordered the Montgras, let me know! Oh and if you can get a picture of the label before I do, please upload it Char leen mer ced  Talk  05:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

Zinfandel
I've been wanting to take the wineries off of there since I started working on the article a couple weeks ago. I agree that they aren't actually fitting in any one contribution other than they sell a good Zinfandel which is not appropriate for an encyclopedic article.

Wine Project Newsletter
Apologies to everyone for this notification being sent out so late, events in real life prevented me from distributing it at the time, and the Wine Project's had a bit of a lull during the Northern Hemsiphere summer. But as the nights draw in, activity should pick up again, and hopefully the next Newsletter will arrive a little more quickly....

The next few weeks are the perfect time to take photos of grapes in the Northern Hemisphere - get your cameras out! FlagSteward 16:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Wine Project activity
This is a friendly note to let you know that you have been moved to the Inactive members page of the Wine Project. Users are moved to this page when two months have passed without any Wikipedia activity or 3 months have passed without any contribution to a wine related article. The intent of the Participant list is to function as a resource for other editors wishing to get in contact with wine project members for comments or question on Wikipedia's wine article. The goal of this process is to try and maintain the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Participants as current and up to date as possible with active and contributing members. Please note that this is not intended to be a negative reflection on your Wikipedia or wine related contribution and it is well known that sometimes outside life can take editors away from Wikipedia for some time. You will always be welcomed to rejoined the Wine Project should you feel that the time is right. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk or on the Wine Project talk page. Best wishes. AgneCheese/Wine 00:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.

File source problem with File:HAUTBAT.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:HAUTBAT.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 21:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C) 21:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:OrmesDePez.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:OrmesDePez.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. --TheImaCow (talk) 08:42, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
