WP:Cricket

Hi

Just wondered whether you'd be interested in signing up on Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket. It's a forum where cricket-loving WPians can chat about what they are doing, ask for advice, show off the articles they've written, and what have you. You'd be more than welcome. Kind regards, jguk 15:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


WikiProject A-League

Hi Sahafan, I noticed you've contributed to pages related to the A-League competition - I started a WikiProject for it, and thought you might be interested in participating. Thanks! AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 05:46, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Rugby

Hi and welcome to WikiProject Rugby. I was planning to invite people soon to get the project under way but I'm glad that you have already joined. The first thing that needs to be done is to invite more people. A good way is to look at "history" page of famous rugby teams and players and invite people who have made many edits and contributions. Again welcome to the project! DaGizza Chat (c) 01:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Rugby league project

I noticed you added yourself to the focus on league section. I've had a project running for quite a while, but i was going to wait until we had 5 or so members to start a project. If you are dedicated to "Rugby league", then this is a project for you. See the Project page. POds 11:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Beach Boys.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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.

Wouldn't It Be Nice edits

Hi Sahafan,

The comments I made refer to this user - User:58.105.95.193. Even if you did edit some articles from this address, its ok - the comments I made don't refer to you. Someone else from the same network address (which could mean anywhere from the same household as you, to any customer of the same ISP as you) performed some vandalism - which basically means intentionally incorrect or uncivil edits to articles - on an un-related article. I checked for other edits made from that address, which showed me the changes to Wouldn't It Be Nice. Now, I don't know anything at all the Beach Boys, so I didn't know about the accuracy of the changes made - which is why I posted a request on the talk page - so that someone who did, could check the changes you made.

When you edit under a username, problems like these won't happen - as people can't share the same username - but they can share the same network address!

I hope I haven't caused you too much worry or confusion - enjoy being a Wiki-editor :) -- Chuq 08:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice one!

As a Beach Boys fan, I'm impressed with the number of blue links I now see in the List of Beach Boys songs article. I hope very soon I can help you in getting these up to full article quality. Thank you! Bobo. 21:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank You from the CVU

On behalf of the Counter Vandalism Unit, I would like to thank you for your valuable contributions to Wikipedia. As a New Articles Patroller, I read through a long list of recently created articles and am apalled by the worthless content I find and have to delete or edit. It is a relief to see your important, thoughtful contributions that have greatly added to the value of the encyclopedia as a musical reference. I would like to, therefore, award you this barnstar of high culture to thank you for your work.

Hi, I see where I misunderstood the information now, doh! I've tweaked it a bit by adding "for both songs" after the time to make things clearer. I think it helps :) porges(talk) 11:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

WP A-League players

Hi Sahafan!

I just wanted to let you know about the big WikiProject A-League 2005–06 player project. It is an attempt to bring the articles on every player who played in the A-League in 2005–06 up to standard. Check out the main page for the player project to get the full list of players as well as useful links and stats to help out. Hopefully we can get the full list done before the beginning of the 2006–07 season. Don't forget to update the counts (they will automatically update the status bar) as you go. Thanks!

License tagging for Image:Good Vibrations single.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Good Vibrations single.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:

A-League 2006-07 Newsletter I

Introduction
The first ever Wikiproject A-League newsletter is here! The 2006-07 A-League season will bring the usual enjoyment and fanaticism that only football/soccer can create. This new season also means a lot of (currently-open) tasks that require completion throughout the course of the next 21 weeks.
Position Ladder
A Position Ladder will be placed on each team page, which will provide an up-to-date visualization of the current A-League standings. However, problems may occur when Position Ladders aren't updated with the new statistics that don't involve matches of the team whose page the Position Ladder resides on. To remedy this, a base Position Ladder will be created, which will be located at {{2006-07 A-League Position Ladder}} (link). Please update this as soon as possible after the match has ended, as this will keep the Wikipedia community informed.

A few notes regarding the base Position Ladder:-

  • Please do not substitute the Position Ladder template on the team pages, as it won’t get automatically updated if you do.
  • Please only update the Position Ladder at the end of a match, and if there is any large dispute about the result, do not add it, but instead wait for an official report by the A-League confirming the result.
  • When updating, make sure to adjust all of the below fields:-
    • The played field – add one (eg. 13→14 etc.)
    • Either the win, loss or draw field, depending on the result for that team.
    • The points field – either add 3 points (win), 1 point (draw) or leave the same (loss)
    • The for and the against section
    • Make sure you repeat this process for both teams – not just the team you follow!
Summary Tables
Each team page will have a Summary Table added to it, which will provide an at-a-glance look at the results of the team throughout the season. We ask that, at every chance you get, you fill in the results of these Summary Tables – it only takes a few seconds, but it will help keep the uninformed "in the loop" – it is an encyclopedia we’re writing, after all.

As with the Position Ladders, a few notes about the Summary Tables:-

  • Please place the winner in bold text (using '''winning team''').
  • With the crowd figures, please only place a comma if the attendance is over 10,000 people (eg. use 8648 instead of 8,468 and 11,482 instead of 11482).

Rock and Roll Music

I don't think we need to create separate articles. We just need to add more detail about Chuck Berry's version and make that the lead section, followed by the Beach Boys information. One example of a song article that covers more than one notable version is Shake Rattle and Roll. 23skidoo 17:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

List of songs by The Beach Boys

Good continuing work on this one. All the article needs now is some inventive rowspan and colspan hypertechnologies to eliminate empty rows. Kudos. Bobo. 06:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Sahafan said: Hi I was wondering what you meant by "All the article needs now is some inventive rowspan and colspan hypertechnologies to eliminate empty rows". Thanks

All it needs is for the rows and columns to be lined up in the correct manner as per the columns on the table and the songs in the list. Some of the columns are matched up wrongly to the sections, but this is workable. We can make the same song line up with four different columns, while using just one cell, if it's on four different albums, for example. Bobo. 19:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Song stubs

Please do stop making them. Unless a song is notable, we really shouldn't have an article on it. - brenneman {L} 08:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Project News
  • The Player project has been moved, overhauled and refined. It now is not limited to the 2005-06 player list. However, only 10% of articles are considered "complete", and hopefully we can get this figure to approach 100% by the end of the season.
  • Major changes to the layout of the 2006-07 A-League season page have taken place recently, and an infobox created. A table for attendances, as well as top scorer etc. are now in place. All users are encouraged to update the scores for completed matches as they come in.
  • Recently, Perth Glory F.C. was moved to Perth Glory FC after no objections were raised at the Wikiproject talk page. All links to the old page (including various templates) were changed.
  • The project requires pictures of games and stadiums to help improve articles. Any pictures are much appreciated.
  • The A-League Portal has been set up. Feel free to update the scores, and make sure you check out the selected article and picture each fortnight.
  • The football (soccer) barnstar has recently became the official award of the Wikiproject. Feel free to hand it out to anyone you see making excellent contributions to all things A-League related.

Beach Boys songs vocals.

Hi, I'm assuming that you credited Dennis Wilson for the lead on Surfer Girl on Good Timin', which is the CD of the Knebworth concert, if I recall correctly? I only have the DVD, and the lead on Surfer Girl, including that gruff middle-8 is actually Brian, not Dennis. Denny did sing the lead at least once, in Michigan in 1966, but since that wasn't recorded I didn't include it. I didn't want to be rude and just change it without consulting you.;-)

Thanks!

Fair use rationale for Image:Rugby league ball.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rugby league ball.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 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. Alexj2002 12:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


Expansion of WP:A-League

Hi Sahafan,

Just thought I'd let you know there is currently a proposal to expand WikiProject A-League to include all areas of football/soccer in Australia, including the NSL, A-League, Socceroos, state leagues and more. A more formal proposal page can be found here. Please indicate whether you support the idea or not at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject A-League, and also add your 2c about what the new project should be called. Cheers! – AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 04:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rikki Sheriffe.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:Eric Djemba-Djemba.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link.
