[edit] Welcome from Redwolf24

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

Redwolf24 The current date and time is 12 June 2008 T 01:33 UTC.

P.S. I like messages :-P

[edit] FRB criticisms

I replied to your message on my talk page (I prefer to keep UserTalk conversations to a single page... usually where the first topical post was made). In brief, I support the move. Feel free to post any comments/replies to my talk page if you'd like. Feco 17:22, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brady Bonds and the other article whose name I forget

I just read your draft of the merge! Your article is way better than either of the current ones so I encourage you to replace one of the articles. Banana04131 01:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] orphaned articles

Why write completely orphaned articles on statistcs? I've just added two of your creations to the list of statistical topics. Was there in each case no other article you could find that could link to it? If so, you can still add it to the list. Michael Hardy 23:18, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Stanley_fischer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stanley_fischer.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

[edit] JEL codes

I've been thinking about categories for economics and it struck me that the JEL codes would be as obvious way to go. As you created the article, I thought I'd get in touch and see what you thought.

[edit] Kakutani's theorem

Hello, I changed the statement of the Kakutani fixed point theorem a bit, could you please double check that I didn't screw up? Thanks and cheers, AxelBoldt 04:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Robert d. mcteer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Robert d. mcteer.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.

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 ☠ 23:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Nyfrb.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Nyfrb.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kjetil r 15:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This needs to be solved

I have taken the "List of Companies" problem (what to do with an entire class of articles that get repeatedly submitted for deletion en mass?) for debate to two different places. This really needs to be solved once and for all (we can't keep debating the same stuff for eternity). Would you take a look at either the discussion on the Village Pump or the relevant wikiproject?

[edit] Speedy deletion of Center for Global Development

A tag has been placed on Center for Global Development, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g12.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Bfigura (talk) 18:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Better source request for Image:Janet_yellen.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Janet_yellen.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. MECU≈talk 17:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
