[edit] Ponder & Kegley, etc

Your recently created articles Ponder & Kegley, P&K SG338, P&K 76, Xander Arms have been marked for deletion because they may not meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. In addition, your username suggests that you are affiliated with (or perhaps you are) the subjects of these articles, which is generally frowned upon here. Check out WP:AUTO for more on this. If you'd like to register an opinion about the proposed deletion, please add some comments to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ponder & Kegley. Thanks- and keep up the good work with your other contributions. Staecker 01:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My message

Hey, I'm sorry about that article. A lot of people like to find pictures of realistic looking guns, rather than the truly real ones. Plus, there are plenty of other things on here that are pretty much an ad. Like the article on Madness Interactive. Its a Flash game...and its not purchaseable. Plus, these guns could be of use to others, for other Flash animations.

And plus, I made the note (not purchaseable) so someone wouldn't ask if they are real or not...so they could buy one or something. Ya never know what people will ask ya know......

Anyway, I don't mind if you delete it. I know it is an "amazing ad" as said in the Deletion list thing for this article.

Thanks for not getting overly shook up about this.

Hey no problem- and the images would actually be great if you uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons, a free repository for images that's a sister project to Wikipedia. Just a note- when you upload there (and here too, actually) you are granting permission for other users to use/modify your images for any purpose. If you want to retain copyright on them, you don't want them on Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia projects. Staecker 02:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Ah, ok...can do

[edit] HK 33SG/1

I've just redirected an article you started, HK 33SG/1, to HK 33. It seemed to me that the HK 33SG/1 is the same as the HK 33, with minor variations. If you think this model isn't appropriately covered in Wikipedia, a better idea would probably be to add material to the main article about different variations. That's more convenient for readers than several short articles.

If you're concerned about people searching for the variants, you can create redirects, like an automated see-also. Just ask if you need help.

And do sign your posts on talk pages by typing ~~~~. It just makes it easier to tell who's saying what. NickelShoe 21:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks Lkegley9 05:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barrett Model 98

Do you want this deleted? If so, let me know or write {{db-author}} in it, instead of just blanking it. Thanks. --W.marsh 05:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I threw a quick redirect link. I didn't know what else to do. Thanks Lkegley9 05:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Redirects are cheap and this one seems useful, no harm in leaving it up as such. --W.marsh 06:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

I see that some of the content in American 180 and Image:Barret-m98.jpg come from a Russian guns website - [http://world.guns.ru]. Do you have permission to put this content here, given that the copyright notice on the site itself explicitly says we need it? -- Aim Here 00:33, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

WHEW I completely forgot that. I'll quickly rewrite that in my own words. Sorry man Lkegley9 00:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem, just surfing the "new pages" and doing little fixes. Ciao! - Dyslexic agnostic 06:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Basr.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Basr.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 21:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, here, tell you what. Delete it right now, I'll go talk to the HKPro owner, and ask them for permission. Does that sound cool? Then once I get permission, I'll reupload it and state proof of permission Lkegley9 01:27, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I got this email.

Just courtesy of HKPRO.COM is fine.

What should I do here? The tag copyright thingy would be... Lkegley9 22:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, unfortunately we do not accept "only" with permission images here on Wikipedia because we want our content to be redistributable by others, even commercialy. However in this case I believe we can use the image under the fair use doctrine and the permission makes it a stronger claim I suggest you tag the image with {{fairusein|HK BASR}}{{withpermission}}, and then add a quick rationale like "I believe this can be used under fair use because it doesn't reduce the value of the original work (we have permission to use it). It's used to ilustrate the article about the weapon in question." or something like that. The {{Non-free fair use in}} tag is generaly the one you use unless the image is in one of the "blanket" categories (albumcover, bookcover, tv-screenshot etc). Images should also include a fair use rationale as explained on Wikipedia:Fair use, unless of coarse it's free licensed, but you very rarely find truly free licensed material on the net, often it is at least restricted to non-commercial use only, wich means not anyone can use them, so they are not "free enough" for Wikipedia. One question though: Do HKpro hold the copyright to that image? Looks like it's scanned from some kind of manual or something, and if they are only an unofficial "fansite" the image may not be theirs to give permission for in the first place. --Sherool (talk) 13:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Ah, well...I'm thinking they have copyright on the picture, since it doesn't say under the picture on their webpage "Courtesy to someone" or anything, so I really don't know. But I added that {{fairusein|HK BASR}}{{withpermission}} tag, so everything should be alright. Thank you very much for your help Lkegley9 02:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi there!

I see you welcome users as well, and just thought I'd send you a message to support your good work!

[edit] Stubs

Hi - I note you've recently created seven new stub categories. Did you realise that stub categories should normally be cleared by Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting before creation? That way they can be vetted to check that there are a viable number of stubs (a minimum of 50-60 stubs) and that the category does not cross the existing stub hierarchy before the stub is created. It also ensures that any new stub categories and templates have names in keeping with the stub template naming guidelines.

If you can provide any information on why the stub was created, please add a note to entry for the stub at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries giving the reason for it. In addition, if there is any Wikiproject associated with the stub add that information. Thanks.

In the case of these stub types, several of the templates are badly named, since they are ambiguous. "Submg" could refer to quite a number of different things, and "sniper" suggests that the template is for articles about snipers, which it isn't. Furthermore, since there need to be 50-60 stubs in existence about a topic before a new stub type is created, it is extremely doubtful that any new stub types would have been created, especially since the Firearms stub category that they are subcategories of only has about 400 articles - a very low number in terms of stub sorting categories. Unless these categories goet close to the threshold of 50-60 stubs soon, it is quite likely that they will be proposed for deletion.

If you're interested in helping sort stubs, we're always looking for new members of the project - but please, in future, if you plan to create any new stub types, propose them first! Grutness...wha? 03:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey sorry, and actually, I am a member of the Stub sorting WikiProject. And I didn't read that regulation about proposing it first until after I created them. I'll get to work on making new stubs in that category too. I'm truly sorry for those, but I didn't know they had to be proposed until aftrer I created them... Lkegley9 18:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Whoa there, tiger. You'll also need a {{rifle-stub}} if you really wish to do that. It's a hell of a lot of work. Also, you will note that most people on wikipedia are too daft to realize that an M4 is not just a military weapon (dunno what the laws are where you are, but in va.us, I can own one, and I'm civ.) You may cause some re-confusion there (i created the firearms stub category for that specific reason). Good luck. Welcome. aa v ^ 20:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm in South Dakota, US, and I know we can get M16s for sure (semi auto of course). I'll make that rifle stub here. But do you have any other suggestions? Thanks by the way. Lkegley9 21:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! Though you have not edited many tropical cyclone articles, we are happy for any help you can give. The Atlantic Ocean is currently our biggest project, and we are currently working on bringing every retired storm to B-class standards; basically a full amount of information. We look forward to your contributions, and hope to see your works in the future. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to ask me or at the headquarters. See you around. Hurricanehink 14:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks. I might get another person in the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject. He tracked EVERY tropical system in the Atlantic Basic for the past 5 years. And he researched every other hurricane that he couldn't track (because he was too young at that time). He is a sophomore in high school, and he loves hurricanes. I know he will contribute a lot. Lkegley9 19:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Awesmome! Though the seasonal pages are done, hopefully you or he can help by adding more to some of the retired storms of the 2000's, like Keith, Iris, Lili, or Fabian. Good luck. Hurricanehink 19:26, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] excuse me...

do I know you? aa v ^ 16:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, not technically, but you were the one that told me about the firearm stubs, the {{pistol-stub}}, {{submg-stub}}, etc, about what I should do about it. Lkegley9 00:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah. Okay. I don't especially like Google. Feel free to IM me with AIM id avriettea. I'm online sporadically. Should you need to reach me more quickly, there are ways. aa v ^ 02:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article formatting

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,

As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.

  1. Infobox- Whenever possible, the infobox should have a picture for the tropical cyclone. The picture can be any uploaded picture about the storm, though ideally it should be a satellite shot of the system. If that is not available, damage pictures, either during the storm or after the storm, are suitable. In the area that says Formed, indicate the date on which the storm first developed into a tropical depression. In the area that says Dissipated, indicate the date on which the storm lost its tropical characteristics. This includes when the storm became extratropical, or if it dissipated. If the storm dissipated and reformed, include the original start date and the final end date. Highest winds should be the local unit of measurement for speed (mph in non-metric countries, km/h in metric countries), with the other unit in parenthesis. The lowest pressure should be in mbars. Damages should, when available, be in the year of impact, then the present year. The unit of currency can be at your discretion, though typically it should be in USD. Fatalities indicate direct deaths first, then indirect deaths. Areas affected should only be major areas of impact. Specific islands or cities should only be mentioned if majority of the cyclone's effects occurred there.
  2. Intro- The intro for every article should be, at a minimum, 2 paragraphs. For more impacting hurricanes, it should be 3. The first should describe the storm in general, including a link to the seasonal article, its number in the season, and other statistics. The second should include a brief storm history, while the third should be impact.
  3. Storm history- The storm history should be a decent length, relatively proportional to the longevity of the storm. Generally speaking, the first paragraph should be the origins of the storm, leading to the system reaching tropical storm status. The second should be the storm reaching its peak. The third should be post-peak until landfall and dissipation. This section is very flexible, depending on meteorological conditions, but it should generally be around 3. Storm histories can be longer than three paragraphs, though they should be less than five. Anything more becomes excessive. Remember, all storm impacts, preparations, and records can go elsewhere. Additional pictures are useful here. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its peak, use a landfall picture in the storm history. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its landfall, use the peak. If the landfall is its peak, use a secondary peak, or even a random point in the storm's history.
  4. Preparations- The preparations section can be any length, depending on the amount of preparations taken by people for the storm. Hurricane watches and warnings need to be mentioned here, as well as the number of people evacuated from the coast. Include numbers of shelters, and other info you can find on how people prepared for the storm.
  5. Impact- For landfalling storms, the impact section should be the majority of the article. First, if the storm caused deaths in multiple areas, a death table would work well in the top level impact section. A paragraph of the general effects of the storm is also needed. After the intro paragraph, impact should be broken up by each major area. It depends on the information, but sections should be at least one paragraph, if not more. In the major impact areas, the first paragraph should be devoted to meteorological statistics, including rainfall totals, peak wind gusts on land, storm surge, wave heights, beach erosion, and tornadoes. The second should be actual damage. Possible additional paragraphs could be detailed information on crop damage or specifics. Death and damage tolls should be at the end. Pictures are needed, as well. Ideally, there would be at least one picture for each sub-section in the impact, though this sometimes can't happen. For storms that impact the United States or United States territories, this site can be used for rainfall data, including an image of rainfall totals.
  6. Aftermath- The aftermath section should describe foreign aid, national aid, reconstruction, short-term and long-term environmental effects, and disease. Also, the storm's retirement information, whether it happened or not, should be mentioned here.
  7. Records- This is optional, but can't hurt to be included.
  8. Other- The ideal article should have inline sourcing, with the {{cite web}} formatting being preferable. Always double check your writing and make sure it makes sense.

Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.

[edit] Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #1

Number 1, June 4, 2006

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the activities of the WikiProject over the past month and upcoming events over the next month. In addition monthly tropical cyclone activity will be summarized.

You have received this as you are a member of the WikiProject, please add your username in the appropriate section on the mailing list. If you do not add your name to that list, the WikiProject will assume you do not wish to receive future versions of The Hurricane Herald. Sorry if the newsletter breaks your talk page formatting.

Storm of the month

Typhoon Chanchu near its peak intensity
Typhoon Chanchu was the first typhoon and first super typhoon of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season. Forming on May 9 over the open western Pacific Ocean, Chanchu moved over the Philippines on the 11th. There, it dropped heavy rainfall, causing mudslides, crop damage, and 41 deaths. It moved into the South China Sea, where it rapidly strengthened to a super typhoon on May 14, one of only two super typhoons recorded in the sea. It turned to the north, weakened, and struck the Fujian province of China as a minimal typhoon on the 17th. The typhoon flooded 192 houses, while heavy rainfall caused deadly mudslides. In China, Chanchu caused at least 25 deaths and $480 million in damage (2006 USD). Elsewhere on its path, strong waves from the typhoon sank eleven Vietnamese ships, killing at least 44 people. In Taiwan, heavy rainfall killed two people, while in Japan, severe waves killed one person and injured another.

Other tropical cyclone activity

New articles and improvements wanted

Member of the month

This isn't the generic barnstar, we just don't have a WPTC star yet…

The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.

Explanation of content

If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.

These two sections are decided by the community on the newsletter's talk page:

  • Storm of the month: This is determined by a straw poll on the page. While all storms will be mentioned on the newsletter, the selected storm will be described in more detail.
  • Member of the month: Nominations are made on the talk page, voting is by secret ballot; read the talk page for details. The winner receives the WikiProject's barnstar (when we make it).

The assessment scale

  • The cyclone assessment scale is one of the bases of the new assessment scale for Version 1.0 of Wikipedia. It splits articles into several categories by quality, to identify which articles are "finished" and which ones still need to be improved.
  • The assessment scale by itself counts of several grades:
    • FA: reserved for articles that have been identified as featured content only.
    • A: this grade is given to articles that are considered ready for Wikipedia:peer review. The way to get this grade assigned to an article is by asking other cyclone editors at the WikiProject's assessment page.
    • GA: reserved for articles that have passed a good article nomination.
    • B: these articles are "halfway there", and have most of the details of a complete article, yet it still has significant gaps in its coverage.
    • Start: articles that fall in this category have a decent amount of content, yet it is weak in many areas. Be bold and feel free to improve them!
    • Stub: these articles are mostly placeholders, and may in some cases be useless for the reader. It needs a lot of work to be brought to A-Class level.
  • The way to use these assessments is by adding a parameter to the WikiProject template on the articles talk page ({{hurricane|class=B}} as an example). This feeds the article into a category which is read and parsed to create an assessment table, summary and log.

[edit] Image:Am180.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Am180.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —xyzzyn 23:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Heckler & Koch HK WSG2000

I have nominated Heckler & Koch HK WSG2000, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heckler & Koch HK WSG2000. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:WSG2000side.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WSG2000side.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. BJBot (talk) 06:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:50 9x90 NATO.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:50 9x90 NATO.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
