[edit] Images

I took a quick look at the letter. It looks like you mentioned only free licenses in your original query, and the librarian said we could use the images but did not tell us under what license. It would be ideal if the library actually used the phrase "We release these images under the GFDL license" or "We release these images under the Creative Commons license" or something similar.

I think we are on solid ground to use the images, but which license to apply is the problem. I think I would use {{cc-by-2.0}}. Most people think it is less cumbersome for images than GFDL. On the image page, you should also place info about the image such as its source. More info is at Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Adding_images. Images without a source may be deleted. You should also link to that permission letter from the Image page. There is also an e-mail address to which you should send the permission letter, but I can't find that at the moment. I will get back to you on that.

Following these guidelines is very important. We take this very seriously. There are even some users who take it too seriously and may hastily delete an image on a small technicality. I'd hate to see you spend a lot of time and energy finding and uploading images, only to have them deleted.

I'll look for that e-mail adress. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Johntex\^talk 22:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University of Wisconsin System

That map you added to the University of Wisconsin System article is very cool! Crosscountrycpjon 03:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notification of arbitration case

This is to notify you that I am making an arbitration request concernining the University of Wisconsin redirect at [Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration]. Miaers 00:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wisconsin Field House

I would move it to Wisconsin Field House, not The Wisconsin Field House as Miaers has redirected it to. When I did the rename it was as most people know it as (UW Fieldhouse) in casual conversation, as I could not find an official page at the time. But going by g-hits, Wisconsin Fieldhouse definitely outranks "UW Fieldhouse" and "The Wisconsin Field House". I leave it to others to debate this as I did the article name change very early in its infacy and much more information has been added since then. Nate 00:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Endowment

The economic impact is the amount UW receives from the society not what it gives. If you look at those numbers from UW website, you can see that they are the funding sources. The 300 million you want to use is obviously wrong. The endowment of both UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee are larger than that figure. It is ridiculous to see the total endowment of the system is less than that of an individual campus. Also the number from the UW website should be the authoritative and accurate. The source you pointed out is just an unkown organization on the internet that doesn't have any credit at all. Miaers 15:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, does my reply make sense to you? Miaers 21:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

That's odd. The endowment of the system should be the total of all the individual universities. What you just said basically sounds like that the Board of the system has an endowment of 300 mil. That will be ridiculous. Also the UW website provides its funding sources. It is totally appropriate to use it as a source for the endowment figure. Miaers 03:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Your logic is totally wrong. These foundations are part of the individual campuses which are also part of the system. What do you mean they are separate from the UW system. Miaers 04:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DEFAULTSORT

When you put the DEFAULTSORT template in an article, the article is sorted as if all the categories listed have something like "Category name|Smith, John" after them, even if they don't. So, if you have a lot of categories listed, rather than having "Category name|Smith, John" for each, just use DEFAULTSORT:Smith, John and the article will be sorted surname, first name in each of the category lists. It's a way of saving time; even if all the categories are already sorted, additional ones won't have to be. I noticed that a template had been created for faculty of the University of Wisconsin, and that the individual listed categories had been sorted by surname, but that the template-created ones had not, so I put DEFAULTSORT in those articles so they would be listed surname-first in those categories as well.

Any sorting listed on the actual categories takes precedence over DEFAULTSORT. Say if you got "DEFAULTSORT:Smith, John" and then later on "Category|John Smith": in that individual category the article will be sorted as "first name surname". Hope this helps. T@nn 04:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Green Bay Packers Newsletter

The Green Bay Packers WikiProject Newsletter

The Green Bay Packers WikiProject Newsletter! Volume 1, Issue 1 - March 30, 2008 Welcome! Welcome to the Green Bay Packers WikiProject. As you should know, we are a group dedicated to making the Green bay Packers not only the best team in the NFL, but also the best covered on Wikipedia. This is a great way to show your support for America's best small-town team. Right now, we are working on creating a solid base for the WikiProject, so that we will be able to easily coordinate our efforts to succeed in our main goal, expand the articles! Nothing is set in stone, and all users are on an equal footing, so comments, suggestions, concerns, and being BOLD is welcome! Please come take a look at the project page, and become part of our community. If you feel you can help out in coordinating certain parts of the project, or have some new ideas, please let us know! Article news Jack Clancy and Ryan Grant became the second and third Good Articles within the project's scope. List of Green Bay Packers head coaches was promoted to Featured list status. (nom) Snow Bowl (1985) is currently being discussed for deletion. (nom) Currently the project has 1062 assessed articles under its scope. Collaboration The Green Bay Packers Wikiproject has three specific collaboration efforts, and one open collaboration effort: Nominated Collaborations- As with most WikiProjects, we have an area for members to nominate articles that need attention. Featured and Good Content Collaboration- The Project also has a specific area for members to receive help with building an article up to GA-Class, FA-Class, or FL-Class. Every B-Class article within the scope of the project has been identified as a candidate for the area of collaboration. Nominations of new articles or of lower-class articles are also welcome in this area. Stub Collaboration- One major key to this Project is to make sure that no top-importance and ultimately high-importance article is a stub. This area of collaboration is for members to work on de-stubbing important articles within the project's scope. As with the other collaboration efforts, this area is open to member nominations. Special Collaboration- This last area is for special collaboration efforts. This area will not always be in use, but is usually used for collaboration efforts that focus on adding certain aspects to every page. Currently, the special collaboration is focused on adding an appropriate Infobox to every article that requires one. Hopefully, we will be able to get the services of a bot to automatically search our categories and create a list here, which will allow members to add the appropriate infobox to each article. Assessment Please assess any articles found in Cat:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles or Cat:Unassessed-Class Green Bay Packers articles! Currently, the project will employ the work of a bot, SatyrBot, to help the project tag new article with our project banner. Every two weeks, the bot will search every article in each Green Bay Packers category, and any article found to be in the category without a project tag will be listed here. Any article on this page should be tagged with our banner, making sure to assess the article by class and importance. A worklist showing each article under the project's scope by class and importance can be found here, with a log of changes of assessments found here, and the project's statistics can be found here. Members Currently the project has 32 members, vastly more than any other NFL team project. A full list of our members can be found here. The project coordinator is Gonzo fan2007. Any questions, comments, or concerns about the project or Wikipedia in general can be addressed to the Project's talk page or Gonzo fan's talk page. Please invite new members by either using a personal message, or {{InvitePackersProject}}. If new members join, please welcome them with {{WelcomePackersProject}} while also giving them a personal welcome.
