[edit] Copyright problems with Image:RLCH.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:RLCH.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for your hard work on Manhattan, Kansas and Kansas State University. No worries about the image, I have taken some more pictures of the courthouse and others which I will add to the MHK article shortly. Have a nice day! --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 04:12, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mutiple KY Coach Templates

Hi. You created {{UKWildcatsCoach}} and User:Rogerd created {{UKyFbCoach}}. You two should talk and try and sort out how to merge the information on the two templates since they disagree slightly. The naming preference is the previous. Once the info has been merged, please delete the other template. Thanks. MECU≈talk 13:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Template:UKWildcatsCoach has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. rogerd 04:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The only problem with this so-called "naming preference" is it does not mention what sport it refers to. There currently 10 UK Wildcats Head Coaches of various Men's sports, as well as 10 more Women's sports (which I admit my naming convention doesn't allow for). There is also a {{UKyBbCoach}}, and at the University of Kentucky, as well as some other schools (UNC, Duke, Indiana), basketball is more prominent than football. --rogerd 19:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings

Hi there.I don't really know what to say. It's hard for me and I assume it must be complicated for all the people in my situation to try a new language out. You see, I've been studying English language since 1995 but, for some reason, I still keep my doubts on the subject. I joined Wikipedia on July 26, 2006 —the Spanish version — and as for a sudden I became deeply acquainted with the English one. I cannot trust myself to do it better, but I would like to; believe me when I say that is my priority. Up to now I've written an average of 30 articles in the Spanish Wikipedia, most of which are based on English and American literature authors and movements. My best ones for so far are es:Frederick Douglass and es:William Shakespeare. On the same way I wrote one article for this wikipedia, originally a translation from Spanish into English. I also added further information to a geography stub. My intention is to help and take part of this wonderful experience, but to do that I may need a hand. Can we work together? Do you want to keep in touch with me? I'm on the web almost all the time. If I'm not here I'm there, always fooling around. Thanks for reading my terrible message. God save me, lol. --Gustavo86 20:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Del Close

I support your reversion of the article. I have no idea why people deleted that stuff (or some of the facts I added). When I came across the article it was very sparse, so I filled in some details, not knowing you'd already included most of them in your version. Not sure if we should add any of those details back. Anyway, by working on that article in the state I found it I was not supporting the deletions; I had instead made the mistake of not checking the history before starting to flesh it out. Thanks for your work on the article! --Kathryn NicDhàna 23:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kansas River

A couple of weeks ago you edited the Kansas River article to say that the State of Kansas was named after the Kansas River, not the Kansa Tribe. I'm wondering if you have a reference on that, since related sites just show that the state was named after the tribe. I'm just trying to keep the info consistent. Thanks!

[edit] re: Category:Date of birth missing

Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:GeorgeBrettStatue.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:GeorgeBrettStatue.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 20:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Willie_wildcat.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Willie_wildcat.gif. 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. Rockfang (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Asking for help on WiKUpedia project

Hi Kgwo,

My name is Jarrod and I'm currently working on a project called WiKUpedia, with the goal of providing the one-stop shop for all things KU. We've had a tremendous response from the community since we went live on Sunday but we need help organizing and improving the wiki. We decided to reach out to experienced Wikipedia editors with ties to the University. You can read a little more about our project in a news story in the Lawrence Journal World

Please feel free to take a look around our project and if this sounds like something that interests you, please respond on my talk page or by email. Thank you so much in advance. Jarrodm (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
