[edit] New Sports Wiki/Community

I noticed you were a Braves Fan. My friends and I started a sports wiki/community that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news, opinion articles, and better integration of sports statistics. The site is located here: Check our baseball and braves section its pretty cool:


When you get the chance, let me know what you think.

Thanks!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Hibiscus Syriacus edit.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hibiscus Syriacus edit.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

[edit] Maybe you could help

Hello, CillanXC. Thank you for working on my images. I wonder, if you could reduce the noise in this . I have a raw file. Thank you.--Mbz1 17:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Thank you. Do you need a raw file?--Mbz1 17:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
      • I hope you've got the image.I've e-mailed it few hours ago.--Mbz1 02:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
        • It does look much better. Thank you.--Mbz1 15:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
          • Hello again. I've nominated my image at Wikipedia FP. I do not believe that uploading the image you worked on by me would have been fair toward you. That's why I have not uploaded your edit. If you still have your edit and you would like to nominate it as Edit to my original, please do. I doubt that any one of them will pass. Thank you.--Mbz1 05:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voice (rapper)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Voice (rapper), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Voice (rapper). tomasz. 21:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Redirect of List of Christian Music Videos

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on List of Christian Music Videos, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because List of Christian Music Videos is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting List of Christian Music Videos, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] My horrible picture

Thanks for your feedback on my first FPC, Balzac1901. I expected it would not be approved, for the reasons you mentioned. (That's why I put it up at peer review, without any real feedback.) However, I'd like to know what I can do to improve the image(s). Do you think any of the others hold more promise? I didn't get any feedback at the review, and I'd really like to do what I can to upload the best possible image of these important books. Thanks in advance. – Scartol • Tok 18:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. (The "horrible" description is mostly tongue-in-cheek, heh.) You're not a photographer? With 12 featured pictures? =) My biggest problem in the pictures of LCH is that it's hard to fit all of the books into one shot; how does one photograph 16 volumes at once? I'll take your comments into consideration, and thanks again for your kind reply. – Scartol • Tok 19:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
