[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the welcome! And I'm glad to see you liked the Lancaster box I showed you. I got started on editing my school district's pages- just updating the bad links so far. I'm not sure where I'll go from there. I can see how this is addicting, though!
--EE4E 21:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

And thanks for the userbox!! It ROCKS!!! You own one, too! You could use your own userbox ;)

[edit] Scuba userbox

Hi, I had made similar userboxes a while ago, also incoperated the logo's of the organizations, but had a Fair use rationale slapped on them. So I just made them out of plain text. Shall I remove myn as it looks like yours work?? Scubafish 11:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mutt lover userbox

Gr0ff,

I reverted your change to the established mutt lover userbox. I added the parameters here to show you how you can customize many of the boxes that include parameters in the code. RichardF 00:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

This user is a mutt lover.




[edit] Little context in Conestoga Valley High School

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Conestoga Valley High School, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Conestoga Valley High School is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Conestoga Valley High School, 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] Fair use rationale for Image:Acuc.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Acuc.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. -- STBotI (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SCUBA Newsletter Issue #1

Welcome
Since this is the first issue of the WP:SCUBA Newsletter, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you as a charter member. We are starting a project with the goal of organizing an enormous amount of information, but as participation in WP:SCUBA expands, so will our editing power through collaboration. Please feel free to invite other interested Wikipedians to join our project.
Categorization of WP:SCUBA Articles
I believe that we need to adopt a categorization system to begin organizing these articles. Some categories exist, such as Category:Diving equipment, and can be utilized. The end goal should be to have a set of general categories (less than ten I would hope) that can be used to categorize ALL articles that fall under the scope of this project. Subcategories can then be utilized where needed. This will also help us identify where work needs to be done to further the WikiProject as a whole. Please post comments at the bottom of this page and let me know what you think.
Article Rating for WP:SCUBA
As you are hopefully aware, we place the {{WPSCUBA}} template on the talk page of any article that falls within the scope of WP:SCUBA. It is a standard practice to use the Project Template to rate articles as stub, start, B, GA, A, etc. I invite you to research what is involved in setting up a rating and reporting system for WP:SCUBA as we currently do not rate our articles. This will help us identify the most important articles to our cause, and easily see which articles need the most work. Please feel free to post any questions on my talk page.
YMCA SCUBA
It has been my personal goal to start creating articles to cover all of the major scuba diver certification agencies, and categorize them as Category:Diver training agency. On the List of diver training organizations YMCA SCUBA links to YMCA (diving organization), which then redirects to YMCA. The problem is that the YMCA article doesn't discuss their recreational diving program anywhere. I would like to start a separate YMCA Scuba article using the information on their Official Site, and fix the redirect at YMCA (diving organization) to point to the new article. I invite you to post your thoughts and opinions on these actions on my talk page.

[edit] Thanks

[edit] Idea

Hey, what do you think of making a Tokyo Vertigo and/or 5 Skins article and then sending the link to the guys so they can beef it up?--EE4E (talk) 17:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Garden Spot High School

Hi Gr0ff. It has got out of hand recently. There are really three options: remove it in one go; remove it gradually over time; or delete the article. As someone has recently spent some considerable effort adding this info, I would suggest the middle option. The GSPA doesn't really belong in a separate article, due to its lack of independent notability. A quick look through Google, and the claims in the article, suggests that the school might have enough notability to survive an AfD, but this is worth investigating further, and adding the available references to the article. It is worth mentioning the policy on verifiability when editing the article. Sometimes inappropriate material can be made more appropriate by just cleaning it up. Sometimes it can be made appropriate by adding appropriate content to the article. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jacksonville, Florida

Please explain why you think the section of tallest buildings is trivia. According to Wikipedia:Trivia sections

  1. It is not a list of miscellaneous facts.
  2. It does not contain a disorganized and "unselective" list.
  3. Not all list sections are trivia sections.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to your response. Mgreason (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:TLP.JPG)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:TLP.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
