Construction cost on Klockner stadium was 3.4 million, not 1.2 million.
[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 23:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictorial help?
I've just found this site, so I'll repost here the pics requests that I had posted on the UVa discussion page--hoping that someone here might be able to help...
- picture of the "honor code"?
Hoping that some Hoos (or other people who've been to the university) will come across this page once in a while... Could you possibly take a picture of one of the signs with the honor code from one of the classrooms? (Or any other good picture visualizing the honor code or generally UVa traditions... :o)) If you could, uploading your picture directly to the Wikimedia Commons would be great. If not (if you have a picture and don't want to upload it yourself, don't know how, etc.), feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help you and/or upload it in your place. It goes without saying that you'll be attributed authorship of your picture in either way (unless you don't want that). Thanks a lot for your help!! --Ibn Battuta 20:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- ... or other pictures, esp. of the pavilions?
I've entered the German article into the current writing competition at the German Wikipedia. So if any of you has (or could take) pictures of other parts of UVa and would be willing to publish them on Wikipedia--thanks a lot! (I'd be esp. interested in the pavilions: I'm dreaming of getting pictures for each of them in order to set up a table structure representing the lawn and to point to the architectural differences etc. -- but nor do we have so far pictures of the North Grounds... etc. etc.) Please feel free to contact me for any infos, help, whatever! Publishing pictures here is easy, and I'll be happy to help you with the upload as well as choosing a license you like. In short: Go for it :o)) --Ibn Battuta 19:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[In case you wonder: Yes, I've tried to contact the library about the copyrights of some of their pictures of the pavilions, but haven't heard back from them, so I guess that isn't an alternative.]
Thanks for your help, Ibn Battuta 06:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
