[edit] Image Tagging Image:Deadmarsh la.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Deadmarsh la.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 argument 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 {{Non-free fair use in|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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 15:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I already explained why this image was acceptable under fair use guidelines. May need to review that explanation next time. Bsharkey 20:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you need to review Wikipedia:Image use policy and try posting the image again. -Nv8200p talk 04:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category sorting

Please refrain from editing category sorts in the manner you did at John Blue (ice hockey) [1], among other articles. People are to be listed in categories by their last names, so "Blue, John" is the correct format, not "John Blue". Thank you. Skudrafan1 03:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the catch on the disambiguation issue. I have fixed it now. Skudrafan1 04:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Bsharkey/Archive! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in October, there have been many new changes. I'm hoping to make this newsletter a bit more regular; Kaiser matias and Skudrafan1 asked for a new issue a week ago, but sadly, I've been a bit lazy and committed to other things hence this other delay. --Maxim(talk)

New recognized content

Wayne Gretzky; this picture is featured

By Maxim
There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements:

Task forces

By Maxim

There was a new taskforce created within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Boston Bruins. It was originally founded as a separate WikiProject, but was quickly turned into a taskforce within WikiProject Ice Hockey. The list of participants is located here. Located at WP:BRUINS, the taskforce's goals are to make Boston Bruins and Bobby Orr featured articles. Good luck!

New Administrators

By Maxim
Since October, there have been three new admins promoted within the project:

A previously admin-only feature has been made available for all users. The rollback feature allows a user to quickly revert vandalism with one click. If you wish to have rollback, contact an active admin or post a request to WP:RFR.

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY.

Notes

  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. Maxim doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Feel free to nominate features at Portal:Ice hockey/Suggestions.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!

[edit] Re: Vandalism

You're welcome. What tip on my user page do you mean? --Geniac (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rookie! :-)

If Bsharkey is the "BSharkey" I know, he'll know the significance of the title of this section. :-) Do you I know you? -- Gmatsuda (talk) 23:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

But, of course... just watch out for that 'akirules' guy. Bsharkey (talk) 19:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah...what a hoser he is!! :-) -- Gmatsuda (talk) 20:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
