[edit] JSG Basketball League

A tag has been placed on JSG Basketball League, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why JSG Basketball League is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:JSG Basketball League. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. -- TorriTorri 19:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

Yes, unfree material should only be used for critical commentary (see intro to WP:FUC). For club logos, this means they should only ever be used on the article about the club. ed g2s • talk 13:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Church of St. Joseph Reply

Yes, I did attend St. Joseph school. I graduated in 1995. I looked for an article about the church and/or school but couldn't find one. What is the link for it? We could merge them or just link to the school from the church article and vice versa. --Gnosbush 03:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Tony batista.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tony batista.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}}, 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 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. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 17:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the project or Wikipedia. Since you said you were interested in tedious jobs, I have an idea that I plan to pursue, but I'll need help from others to make it work. There are three articles with a lot of overlapping content, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. I'd like both the Minneapolis and St. Paul articles to exclusively cover information pertinent to within their respective city limits. Then use the Minneapolis-St. Paul article to capture things pertaining to the metro area but not within either of the two cities. I've worked on the St. Paul article quite a bit and feel as if it's pretty good. It's a current nominee for GA status, but the Minneapolis article is full of stuff that shouldn't be there. Does that sound like something you could help with? Appraiser 15:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Kevin garnett.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kevin garnett.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.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Morneau.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Morneau.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.

[edit] Template:MLB yearly infobox

First of all, this is in no way a problem. I was just wondering why the table of contents list appears on the article when this template is used when {{tocright}} or {{tocleft}} is not put in the editing of the page, when it doesn't appear to be a part of this template. Can you please explain this to me? Ksy92003 (Talk·Contribs) 01:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that was exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you. I am relatively new to Wikipedia (November, 2006), and am still learning some of the basics. Thanks for helping clear that up for me. Ksy92003 (Talk·Contribs) 06:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I am quite aware of "What Links Here." The template's vars should be of a consistence case, so I updated the template. I realize this will cause all articles using the template to be updated, that is the intention. — Linnwood 16:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I've got a problem now. For some reason, I was using this template for the 2007 New York Yankees season, yet for some reason it doesn't list the owner, manager, television network, and radio station on the template in the article. Do you know why this is and how to correct this error? Thanks. Never mind, I changed it. Linnwood made a change to the template that made it ineffective. I reverted it back to allow the template to be completely functional. Ksy92003 (Talk·Contribs) 01:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
The solution is to fix the articles, not leave the template ill formated. — Linnwood 03:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
