Welcome aboard
Hello , Welcome to Wikipedia. I think you'll find it fantastic. But there is a lot going on, and it can be a bit wild. Try reading the tutorial, have a play in the sandbox to learn How to edit a page, or visit new users page. The most important things are The Five Pillars, but correct naming and good style are nice, too!

If you have questions you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page (just click the (t) after my name). brenneman (t) (c) 12:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Create a User page
 * Be bold
 * Ignore all rules

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 15:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:SpokaneShockLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SpokaneShockLogo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

New Spokane, Washington neighborhoods article
I saw your message saying the article was far too large and stopped reading after the first line. Looks like we were thinking the same thing. I moved the neighborhoods section off the Spokane article and onto it's own. Sorry about that. --Bobblehead 01:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Spokane
Hi there. I went one better--I just went ahead and cleaned up the article. I'm sure you know what I meant, but it was words and phrases like: "teeming", "thriving", "boasts", "dramatic", "jewel of", and "in heart of" (I especially dislike that one in encyclopedia articles). Oh and the second-person instruction to "check out" whatever it was. If that kind of thing starts to creep in again (and it probably will--you seem to have some enthusiastic Spokane-boosters), I can certainly leave a note on the article's talk page. Anyway, I hope you think my edits improve the article. Oh, and in the interests of paring things down, you might want to look at the list of notable residents and perhaps cut their descriptions to the briefest explanation, since most of them have their own links, which the curious can follow. Happy editing! Katr67 07:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Eastern Washington Wikiproject
Thanks for the message about the wikiproject. I might be living in Seattle now, but I grew up in Spokane. Been a number of years since then, but I still visit several times a year to visit family. --Bobblehead 05:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Likewise, thanks for the invitation. I've only spent a few hours in Spokane, but I'm even so interested in having a good article about the city and its environs. I won't add my name to the project, I'm over extended already so I can't make real improvements. But feel free to let me know if I can be of any specific help, either as an editor or an admin. Thanks for organizing this project. Cheers, -Will Beback 06:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

When you get back from WikiBreak..
I created an article on Sacred Heart Medical Center (Sacred Heart Medical Center (Spokane)). Thought you might be interested in taking a look or expanding it.

P.S.: I've seen 3 other age 14-16 editors on Wikipedia from Spokane, including me - what a coincidence, must be in the water, huh? --Wooty Woot? contribs 21:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Re:Orchestra Right Records
You had your chance to present your reasoning against deletion while it was up for discussion. You did not take the opportunity to do so. Other editors agreed that it was not a notable subject. If you feel that it was deleted unfairly, you can request a review at Deletion review. ... disco spinster   talk  17:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SpokaneINDIANSLogo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SpokaneINDIANSLogo.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

WikiProject Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week
WikiProject Pharmacology is currently organizing a new Collaboration of the Week program, designed to bring drug and medication related articles up to featured status. We're currently soliciting nominations and/or voting on nominations for the first WP:RxCOTW, to begin on September 5, 2007. Please stop by the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week page to participate! Thanks! Dr. Cash 17:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week
Aspirin has been selected as this week's Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week! Please help us bring this article up to featured standards during the week. The goal is to nominate this at WP:FAC on September 10, 2007.

Also, please visitWP:RxCOTW to support other articles for the next COTW. Articles that have been nominated thus far include Doxorubicin, Paracetamol (in the lead with 4 support votes so far), Muscle relaxant, Ethanol, and Bufotenin.

In other news:


 * Bupropion has been promoted to featured status on August 31, 2007.


 * The WikiProject Pharmacology main page has been updated and overhauled, to make it easier to find things, as well as to highlight other goals and announcements for the project.


 * Garrondo is asking for individuals to help review Therapies for multiple sclerosis, as he is considering nominating this article for GA status.


 * Fvasconcellos notes that discussion is ongoing regarding the current wording of MEDMOS on including dosage information in drug articles. All input is welcome.

Dr. Cash 00:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Update
Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology!


 * Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status.


 * Muscle relaxant has been selected as the new Collaboration of the week until October 2, 2007! This article is currently rated as a "stub", so it's got quite a bit of work cut out for collaborators! Admittedly, featured status could be a long way off,... but still attainable! At the least, maybe we could at least get it up to meeting the Good article criteria? Please stop by the article and help improve it.


 * Resveratrol, having recently achieved GA status on August 16, 2007, is now making a run for featured status. This is quite a fascinating compound. If you can, please stop by its discussion page and leave comments in support of it.


 * Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template talkheader may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism.


 * There was an interesting article on ZDNet last week about Hewlett Packard licensing its patented microneedle technology used in common inkjet printers to be used in transdermal patches to deliver a time-controlled release of drugs to patients. This information could be added to articles such as route of administration or drug delivery.

WikiProject Pharmacology Update
Here are a few updates in the realm of WikiProject Pharmacology:


 * The Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week has been changed to Collaboration of the Month, based on current participation levels. It is also more likely that articles collaborated on for one month are more likely to achieve featured quality than articles worked on for only a week or two.


 * The current Collaboration of the Month for November is Receptor antagonist. Please take a look at that article and contribute to it if you get a chance. Ideally, the article should adhere to the featured article criteria.


 * Therapies for multiple sclerosis is currently a featured article candidate. If you are familiar with the featured article criteria, please visit WP:FAC and review the article.


 * Anabolic steroid is the wikiproject's newest Featured Article, having been promoted on October 8, 2007.


 * Theobromine was delisted as a Good Article. The Peer review and GA reassessment discussions provide suggestions on improvement. Muscle relaxant was recently reviewed for Good Article status, but not promoted. Please see the full review full review here for details.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I see that you are all the way in Spokane, but if you are in the area it would be great if you could join us. Also, if you know of other people in the area who would be interested, please forward the information.

I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 01:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

File source problem with File:Avistastadium.png
Thank you for uploading File:Avistastadium.png. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 08:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Chief Garry Park, Spokane moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Chief Garry Park, Spokane, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Sunset Hill, Spokane


The article Sunset Hill, Spokane has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Lack of sources, not an official neighborhood of Spokane and redundant with better pages for the official neighborhoods which make up the Sunset Hill area in existence"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey SpokaneWilly!

First off, totally impressed with your work, especially the specific attention you bring to Spokane and and the communities in the county. Reminds me a bit of myself!

Two things to bring to your attention - a recent article in the Seattle Times - - about some things to do in that beautiful city for Father's Day. Basically sights and cuisine, but if you find it useful or pertinent...!

Second, there is a state-wide GNIS cleanup initiative - - hoping to remove/correct unincorporated community articles that contain possible WP:GNIS issues. It doesn't look like Spokane County is getting hit with anything yet, but just to prepare yourself in the future if you want to come to the defense of some of those places potentially losing their article status.

Keep up the awesome work. Impressed, and honestly, a bit jealous!

 * First of all, thank you for the kind words. Second, thank you so much for the heads up on this GNIS cleanup thing. I'm going to need to dig through a lot of what's going on there before getting involved, but I read your comments on the cleanup talk page and think your views are spot on.
 * Also, thank you for your work on improving the Wikipedia presence of the part of the state you know best. Always good to see people expanding pages for places that are often overlooked. SpokaneWilly (talk) 08:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
