[edit] Awards tables

When you get back... I created {{Infobox Awards}} to replace the use of tables for awards. I currently use it in Advancement and recognition in the Boy Scouts of America#Cub Scout advancement and in Distinguished Eagle Scout Award. It works well, but needs a bit of work. I cannot figure out how to implement the valign parameter to vertically align the text and image. I would appreciate any help. If you can think of any other features, go for it. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 18:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NewComer box

Hello, nice boxes ! A request: in the

Newcomer Please be nice and patient with this New Wikipedian.

can it say "the" instead of "this" so it can be used by newcomers but also as a part of the kindness campaign not only for newcomers self use? Or if you prefer to create a new box for asking others to be nice to newcomers? Jennylen 09:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BYU lead

There is a discussion going on at BYU's page about the lead. Since you took part in the last one, I thought you may want to have a part in this one. Let's work together to knock out a good, solid opening. Thanks, Wrad 03:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I noticed you told another guy how to include an image on a userbox. I was wondering if you could tell me how or give me the link to where it says how. Thank you so much for your help.--Dylanbforthree 23:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Well thankyou for putting it so bluntly...hmph! But yes, I guess they are. The think is when I created them, they all had images (hapily used elsewhere on wikipedia) that the copyright police decided were not acceptable for use in useboxes and thus deleted all the images. Thus - substandard userboxes. After they all got anihilated by the deletionists I gave up on bothering to make any more. If you can fix them it would be great. Also would appreciate your advice on how to fix the sports ones. If you look at my user page there are a whole bunch of clubs that I support and I tried to change them to have club logos, but once again the deletionists relaced the images with stupid three letter codes instead of the colourful logos that were there before.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pulpandpaper.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Pulpandpaper.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:EagleScout.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EagleScout.jpg. 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 01:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BYU Template

Hi NThurston. I understand that you're really good with conditional templates and ParserFunctions, so I'm hoping you can help. The BYU Userbox Template already has a switch to change the type of image used, which is nice, but I would also like to add a way to distinguish between current students, alumni, and fans (similar to UT Austin's and Missouri's). I tried some changes myself to no avail. Can you help? --Eustress (talk) 18:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
