[edit] WikiSchools

Welcome to the WikiProject Schools assessment team. If you need any help with assessing, please ask. Camaron1 | Chris 18:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome too.... however see my comments about B. Suggest you try a dozen articles and assess them and choose ones that are less than B. Also try to avoid any where you have an interest. Others will be pleased to help with those. Perservere 10/10 for boldness Victuallers 23:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry if you find this too tricky, but lets say i wanted to get an idea of the french google service[1] then I could do it like this[2] Victuallers 10:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC).

To join with the others, I'd like to welcome you to the team and voice my hope that you enjoy assessing as much as we do and decide to help out on a more long-term basis. And Just to extend Victuallers' example [1] Adam McCormick 20:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note about updates to the articles that you started. I haven't got any special software, I'm just quite familiar with the general format of articles (Wikipedia's Manual of Style) – no offence to you intended. In general, newcomers to Wikipedia usually get a welcome message as below – this gives them somewhere to turn to for help with editing and creating articles. I hope you find it useful. By the way, I'm also a Cantabrigian (started out as a NatSci but opted for CompSci after a year – I still reckon I'm a chemist at heart!). Cheers. -- [[User:MightyW

[edit] Space in articles

Generally, I would recommend that you avoid leaving blank lines in articles. In my browser the article appears set out differently to yours – and someone else could be looking at a different layout from both of ours. I think editors tend to place images down one side or the other to prevent text getting squeezed between two side and so appearing ugly. Another minor point: only the first mention of a term (eg. Henry Reed) should be blue linked; further mentions in the same article should usually not be linked (eg. Henry Reed). Carry on your good work! -- MightyWarrior 10:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:LTA logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:LTA logo.gif. 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) 23:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
