[edit] Army of Freshmen
Do you mean how to physically remove the tag from the page? Or do you mean how to rewrite the article to a standard where it can be considered to not need those tags? If you don't know how to remove the tags, you need to look at the welcome template that I gave you above - have a look through the links, take the tutorial, and look through the Help section. The part you're talking about involves templates. To get rid of the tags, you just need to remove the lines
{{Unreferenced|article|date=June 2007}}
{{npov}}
from the top of the article. However, I suggest you only do this once you have satisfied the guidelines relevant to those notices. If you're doing a major rewrite, consider placing one of these maintenance templates at the top - for instance, type {{inuse}} or {{underconstruction}} at the top of the page. If you need any more help, ask me again. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 16:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Great! Well done, it's certainly looking good. Now try wikifying some of the text and checking that various elements from the Manual of Style are included. You could also try searching around for a free image of the band to add to the infobox already on the page. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wadsworth Falls State Park
This sounds like the correct title ^^above^^, so I would suggest that you open both pages (Wadsworth Falls and Wadsworth Falls State Park) in separate tabs or windows (depending on your browser) then copy any useful information from the first into the second. When you've finished that, save the second page (the one you've copied the useful content into). Now edit the old page (Wadsworth Falls) and put your cursor (the blinking | bar) into the text area. Hold Ctrl and press A on your keyboard - this selects all the text. Then press backspace to remove it. Now in the space left, click the 
button. This will place the text:
#REDIRECT [[Insert text]]
into the page. Then you just need to type the name of the new article (Wadsworth Falls State Park) in between the double brackets and save the page (with an appropriate edit summary of course). This has now created a redirect page - whenever anyone visits Wadsworth Falls they will be bounced off to Wadsworth Falls State Park instead. See Wikipedia:Redirect for more help with redirecting. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Get Happy Tour
I might do a little more work on it, if I have the time.
Thanks so very much for that message though...I've never known anyone other than myself give out things like that. Niceness for the sake of niceness is rare on Wikipedia. You truly are a charming person and a great asset to Wikipedia. **Shakes hand** (The Elfoid 14:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
You sound kinda new :P. Images are good provided we can give a fair use policy, or they get deleted quickly.

Skim those pages to see what needs doing. To be honest I always found it somewhat confusing...better option is read it and get a rough idea how to do things. Then just look at other images and see what people did to get them put up and imitate them (e.g. look at other tour posters).
Don't be afraid to revert my changes, just cuz I've been on Wikipedia a while makes me no expert! What I suggest though, is we create a section for the history of the tour - how it started, how it grew, any information on who's ideas it was, number of concerts + the dates for each of the tours. We could then shorten the opening section to leave it as a more minor introduction. Finding citable sources to reference from is a must though - I'm assuming links to official websites for the bands will have information we can use?
I haven't been to the Get Happy Tour before. I saw Bowling for Soup at Download Festival (here in the UK it's very different from the one you get in North America though) and Army of Freshmen were on the supporting bill when I saw Reel Big Fish at my local uni (only about 400 people - it was tiny and I was at the front!). I must say I found Freshmen a bit boring, but I loved Bowling for Soup. (The Elfoid 16:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
Oh and I just thought of one final point: If you work on providing a way we can use images, and providing any information on the tour's history (find out if the bands added to the lineups had toured with Bowling for Soup and Army of Freshmen before, any notable events - scheduled and un-scheduled ones - and changes to the tour as it has evolved)...I'll work on some other stuff. Tourdates, some kind of template to stick at the bottom of the page, page layout etc. I'll do.
If you want, that is. That's just my suggestions :) (The Elfoid 16:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
When I said you seemed new, I was thinking of the eagerness. And the way you made it seem like other people editing pages was something you hadn't quite got used to yet. You seem about right about the images thing....for Van Halen I had to upload some stuff several times, experimenting till it stayed up. It's silly.
I'll see what information I can find and give you all the links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Elfoid (talk • contribs) 18:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Salemfallscover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Salemfallscover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] RE: Salem Falls
Sure thing. A useful link that'll make it a lot easier when uploading images that need is fair use rationale is Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. •97198 talk 06:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picoult
I removed an unsourced bit about her getting criticized for comments she made about comics fans, as it seemed of tangental notability and was unsourced. Phil Sandifer 00:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Army of Freshmen
Hey Chrissypan, the quote about the next album was a self proclaimed discussion. No magagazne interview, just general chit chat after a show at the local bar hah. 805wally 23:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh for sure they are, I've been supporting them for about eight years now, so I know just how random those guys can be. It's a shame that the Ventura music life isn't the same as it used to be. 805wally 02:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cedar Hill noteables
Are you planning to create this category? If so, let me suggest that you go ahead and create it, then add the articles that belong to it. As it is now, you have inserted a red-linked category in numerous articles, which are subject to deletion. A second point: When you refer to "Cedar Hill", are you referring to the cemetery? If so, the category should not be "Cedar Hill noteables". That sounds like people from a town, Cedar Hill. Perhaps "People buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery". Ward3001 (talk) 18:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- Copy format of Category:Burials at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale). Suggest Category:Burials at Cedar Hill Cemetery (Hartford) or Category:Burials at Cedar Hill Cemetery (Hartford, Connecticut) (there seem to be a lot of Hartfords). -- roundhouse0 (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List of NHLs in CT etc
Hi Chrissypan, saw your note at Talk page of List of National Historic Landmarks in Connecticut. It would be great if you would take pictures and help develop the list-article!
By the way, I just quickly browsed your contributions, and noticed Image:CedarHillPyramid.jpg. It's really a very nice pic, but I notice the date recorded is wrong, i bet you meant October 2007.
Also I think that picture was uploaded within the English Wikipedia. If you will be creating more pictures, it is preferable that you upload them to Wikimedia Commons, instead. From there they can be linked to just the same, and they are available to other wiki projects, and it will save time of others who might move your pics to there, and i think there are other reasons why that is preferred, too. To start on Commons, you need to open an account there too (use same name Chrissypan). Then it is easy to upload there, just click "Upload now" at left.
Also, please visit WP:NRHP and feel free to ask any questions at its Talk page. You'd be very welcome to join up, too. And please feel free to announce your new photos of NRHP places in the new photo announcement box on the main page. Cheers, doncram (talk) 17:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again. Saw you added yourself to WP:NRHP. Welcome! Also saw your note on Talk page of Buttolph-Williams House, that you are sometimes not too far away and may be able to take a picture of that site in particular. It's one of the NHLs in CT. In case you're not clear on this yet, all NHLs are automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but there are many more Registered Historic Places (which we call either NRHPs or RHPs). Nationwide there are about 79,000 NRHPs of which about 2,400 are NHLs. Take a look at List of Registered Historic Places in Connecticut. The wikiproject WP:NRHP addresses all of them, but I and some others have been focussing on the ones that are further designated NHLs. We are about 90% of the way towards creating an article for each one of the 2,400 NHLs, and have at least one photo for about half of them. For many we have only old black and white photos provided by the Historic American Buildings Survey--and i am just adding notice to its article that one is available for Buttolph Williams--but for those we certainly also would like recent, color pics. Pics of the whole house, and a pic or two of any interesting outside details, and inside pics too if possible, would be all be great to get and to enable expansion of the article. doncram (talk) 23:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] reg your article
Thanks for your note! The article looks great now. I probably jumped the gun on this one, but the initial version that I saw presented no context for keeping the article and hence the tagging. Best of luck with the article. Prashanthns (talk) 15:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RE: A little help?
"Would you know to revert the vandalism back to the previous version by the user named Ashton?" Not quite sure I understand. Please explain further. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I reverted it. If you look at the page history and click the most recent diff, you can undo that by clicking undo, but only on the most recent one. If there have been other edits after that, it won't work. You can revert a string of edits as long as you include the most recent one by viewing "compare selected versions" to include all of them, then click undo. Don't know if this makes any sense. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Ward3001 (talk) 18:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
