[edit] Welcome

Hello Cuppysfriend and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Good luck!

Hi! Next time, instead of moving articles with mispelled titles by creating a new article and putting a redirect on the wrong-spelled page, just use the "Move this page" link in the column on the left side of the page. It keeps the edit history of the text, and automatically creates the necessary redirect. Keep up the good work! Cheers! jengod 00:24, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I was just about to say the same thing in regards to Errett Lobban Cord. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 22:10, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image license

Hi Cuppysfriend,

I've added {{GFDL}} to

Please see Special:Upload, which says

By uploading a file to which you hold the copyright, you agree to licence it under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.

The GFDL requires that you be credited anyway, which is the requirement you specified.

Thanks for adding Richard Dillingham and putting him on the list of Quakers. Logophile 09:49, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know?

Did you know has been updated
and a fact from the article Metallurgical Laboratory, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

[edit] Quezon and Jews

Amazing! I never knew that Quezon helped the Jews. Actually I've never seen any Jew in the Philippines. There used to be a synagouge though.--Jondel 00:29, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Francis B. Sayre

The article said he was a professor at Harvard Law School. So I put academic, since there is no stub classification for "professional diplomat". Do you have any suggestions, then? Otherwise, I will change it back to {{bio-stub}}. Jaxl | talk 00:41, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

It's alright. I might have been a bit careless myself. I will change it back to {{bio-stub}} and maybe propose a new stub for diplomats (I've seen quite a few that need their own category, actually). Sorry about that. Jaxl | talk 00:52, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I have another solution for the time being. What nationality was Sayre? If he was a natural-born American, I can sort him under {{US-bio-stub}} instead. Jaxl | talk 15:30, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the information. I'll list him under {{US-bio-stub}} then. Jaxl | talk 20:02, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Per Anger

Of the existing stub types, poltician comes closest, since we don't really have one for government functionary, and besides, generally one doesn't rise (at least in the US) to the rank of ambassador without playing some in the field of politics. As for the SfD discussion, that's over renaming the stub type from {Swedish-politician-stub} to {Sweden-politician-stub}. With 72 stub articles (71 if Per Anger wasn't counted) there's more than enough to justify keeping the type, but the name doesn't follow the usual rules which are to use the country's name and not its adjective in stub template names.

[edit] Daniel Kirkwood

Hi, Cuppysfriend! By all means, please make the necessary corrections :-). I am glad that you caught that. I've been through Bloomington, Indiana so many times (live in Louisville and work in Northern Indiana) that my brain just stopped on that obvious detail!!! I am going back through any redirects I made to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (there were only a couple out of 250 edits) to make sure I didn't mess those up either. Your assistance is truly appreciated. Best regards, >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist • E@ 20:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Elias Hicks

Thanks for adding the picture of Hicks. I like your user page very much, by the way. Logophile 07:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Freeman Field Mutiny

I really don't think that the sub type of B-25 in this case is pertainant to the article, so that is why I changed it. It is usually perferable to use internal links when possible. There is, however, info about the J model in the B-25 Mitchell#Variants and Design stages section. This section has the same external link that I removed. If you want, you could change the link to B-25J and it would link directly to that section --rogerd 00:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New FSA/OWI template

Yeah, I just tried to describe the collection in the same careful, complicated way the LOC was doing on its site. As far as I know, the FSA was an independent agency, and never had any connection to the FDA. I think the use of the "Migrant Mother" image for the template is an excellent choice, as it's certainly the most recognizable icon of the FSA effort and very much characterizes the collection.--Pharos 00:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tysto

Thanks! --Tysto 07:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Look (policy)

Thanks for expand... writing the New Look (policy) article. -HiFiGuy 05:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alamo bolide impact

Good job with Kentland.. Sorry about the edit conflict. Please vet my amateur effort at the Alamo bolide impact. --Wetman 23:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kentland

Damn, I knew about the Kentland Crater and didn't mention it? ThanksM dorothy

[edit] your message

hi Cuppysfriend, thank you for your message. I have send you an email back, hope it works out. with kind regards Gryffindor 00:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Shadrach Minkins

I see you added [1] the name Shadrach Minkins to those buried in the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec. His biography would be of interest based on your description. However, the cemetery has no record [2] of him. Could you please provide the source of your information. Thank you. Marco Thomas


Thanks for the information. Do you have any other biographical stuff that might be used to make an article? Marco Thomas

What you did already is excellent but please do your intended full article as this is a worthwhile and interesting story. Good work and many thanks. Marco Thomas

[edit] Image:Time Cover William L Clayton.jpg

To meet wikipedias fair use criteria the photo needs to be doing more than than just showing what he looks like in ar article that isn't about him. It is fine in his article, but not really OK in the Interim Committee article. Have you looked for an image showing all of them together, the image on this page appears to show most of them, and looks better than the individual photos.--Peta 23:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

In the Paul McNutt article, there is a free alternative, fair use images shouldn't be used to illustrate the appearance of an individual when there is a free image. You should read WP:FU and WP:FUC if you need more information on where and when to use fair use images.--Peta 23:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5th Indiana Volunteers (?)

This is the only reference to the unit that i know of: Mahlon Dickerson Manson. --evrik 04:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chamberlin Observatory

That looks great, thanks!! I don't suppose you would mind working your magic on Western State College of Colorado. I seem to have had a infobox/image conflict there as well. The picture that I thought of adding is Image:Western State College Gunnison, CO.jpg. Thanks a bunch!--DO11.10 05:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mussels and P

I'm no expert in phosphorus yet, and I would never be when it comes to invertebrates, but I am just a few clicks away from hundreds of people who are, so here's what they have to say.

I guess you're thinking of zebra mussels, but what I can offer is probably still relevant if you're not. A partial skim of a scientific database come up with almost 100 hits on "phosphorus and mussels," mostly on zebra mussels in NAmerica. I saw no suggestion that more P meant fewer mussels. On the contrary, I did see more P associated with more mussels (causal pathways goes both ways, it seems). I also saw that when zebra mussels invaded various NAmerican lakes they sometimes (though not always) reduced the total amount of algae (so greater water clarity), and also may have changed the balance of the species of algae favouring a more noxious one. It appears the way mussels alter the trophic status of lakes (how "healthy" the lakes are) varies among lakes. This all seems like a relatively popular area of research, probably because of the spread of zebra mussels on top of eutrophic lakes through NAmerica.

Does this help? Daniel Collins 03:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Auburn Indiana Logo.png

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Auburn Indiana Logo.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nicolette Larson Very Best 1999.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nicolette Larson Very Best 1999.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:24, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ross_Lockridge_Jr_1947.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ross_Lockridge_Jr_1947.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Rettetast (talk) 16:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fluvial landforms of streams

I see you have a history of working on the article Fluvial landforms of streams. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since June 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give. Jeepday (talk) 14:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

One reference is a great start and meets the goal I was striving for on this article. I did put a {{onesource}} so that hopefully someone will come along later and do more. But you have met the goal of Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles. Thank you :) Jeepday (talk) 02:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
