Wow--A name I recognize from agility! Welcome to wikipedia. I'd love to expand the dog agility history a bit but have only limited information. Thanks for the compliments, though. Now--here's your official welcome message:

[edit] ACDs

And I see that you already visited the cattle dog page. The main reason the stub message was still there was that, to be complete, the article really needs info on standard height & weight and any other descriptive summary of their appearance (without reproducing the breed standards but remembering that there are visually impaired people who might be *listening* to the site), health issues, longevity, stuff like that. If you're feeling ambitious, have at it. (Although most of our dog articles from the list of dog breeds aren't nearly as complete as they should be eventually.)

Also, if you have a nice photo of an ACD doing agility that would add to the article and that you could identify the photographer and release under GFDL (like the wikipedia text is) or to public domain, that would be awesome. IMHO. Elf | Talk 20:10, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! Good job. I also added your photos to the Wikipedia free-distr image gallery, here. A couple of tips:
  • There is a movement afoot to avoid putting a specific size on thumbnails and allowing them to default, so that later (or maybe now) anyone can set the size as part of their preferences, so if working on a smaller screen or if vision impaired they could adjust the size. The only times that I use specific sizes are if the photo itself is very small and I don't want it expanded, if the photo has detail that doesn't show up well at the default size, or in formalized places such as the breed tables, where it's always 250px.
  • To indicate your username/page, it's [[User:Jimhutchins]] rather than merely [[Jimhutchins]].

[edit] Visual systems template

Hmm, I don't get any message about it being locked when I go here: Template:Visual system. I can edit it--but usually (I think) I also see a message when it's locked to the general public. Double-check that link and see whether you still find it locked. If it is--It looks like all of the edits to this template so far were by User:Fuelbottle back in May, so I'd suggest playing it conservatively & contacting FB to point out your desired changes because there might then be a reason it's locked? Your changes sound reasonable to me and you're certainly qualified to know :-), but I hesitate to jump in without knowing the background. Let me know if you still don't have any luck. Elf | Talk 05:14, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've changed the template now, it wasn't really locked though, it's just that the edit link wasn't updated and went to the wrong place. Fuelbottle | Talk 12:11, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Magnocellular part

Hello, Jim. Magnocellular part is one of the articles that have been in cleanup for a year now, and it's still just a sentence. If I'm not mistaken, you are the principle contributor to lateral geniculate nucleus, which seems to be to most closely related article, so I was hoping that you have the knowledge to turn Magnocellular part into at least a decent stub. Thanks, and happy editing. Zocky 16:07, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Julie London

Hi Jim, sorry to say that I felt I had to decline Julie London as a nominee for Good Article status. As stated on the article talk page, I feel the list of movies she appeared in dwarfs the rest of the piece, and should be seriously condensed, perhaps to a "selected filmography" of bluelinked movies, with a greater discussion of her movie career in extended prose. Also, while informative the prose in the biographical main body of the piece does not quite hit the "compelling" mark. I also feel that the previous reason for declining GA status - "no refs" - was perhaps a bit curt given the consideration that should go into these things. Please let me know if you disagree with my opinion, while I have plenty of experience creating and editing WP articles, and much more as a writer in the real world, this is one of my first forays into the good article arena.

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Superior_temporal_gyrus.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Superior_temporal_gyrus.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Julie london.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Julie london.png. 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. Roodngis (talk) 01:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Julie london.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Julie london.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Roodngis (talk) 01:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Julie london.png

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Julie london.png. I noticed that 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 02:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Roodngis (talk) 02:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
