[edit] response to your comments

Hi., i have responded to your review comment on FL Candidature of 2007 NFL Draft. The article underwent revision based on your comments. Please let me know if the changes reflect your initial comments. Kalyan 20:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i have ensured that Brady Quinn's fall was mentioned in the lead para as a surprise, as i had indicated in the FLC comments earlier. Please revisit the FLC ratings. Kalyan 08:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] userpage

You might consider editing your userpage a bit. I feel that it could fall under WP:UP#NOT and Wikipedia is not a soapbox. I can tell that you have very strong opinions, but I am not sure that wikipedia is the place to articulate them. Awadewit ^Talk 10:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay, Sorry about that. I haven't really looked at standards for user pages since I usually just edit articles, but I'll change my userpage to align with the rules. Professor Davies 01:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It's hard to read all the rules - there are so many! I just wanted to alert you to those. Awadewit ^Talk 01:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your GA nomination of Patrick Henry College

The article Patrick Henry College you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Patrick Henry College for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review.

• Overall, the article is pretty good, but not quite there yet. See my notes on the talk page. I also changed the talk page notices to {{ArticleHistory}} - so it will be easier for the next reviewer to see the process the article has gone through. Good work so far! Yours, Smee 23:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC).
  • Again, it would be best if whatever new images are to be uploaded, are to WikiCommons, instead of Wikipedia. That way, they can be cross-posted across sister projects. Smee 05:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Patrick Henry College GA Review

Congratulations - this article has been judged (albeit only by me) to meet the good article criteria, and I have listed it in the appropriate places. I shall also notify the WikiProject on your behalf to upgrade their ranking.

I would recommend seeking a Peer Review to get input on how it can be further improved, since, as a frequent editor of the article, it can be difficult to always see any faults. Nonetheless, well done. --Fritzpoll 07:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ambassador_press05.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ambassador_press05.JPG. 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. MER-C 09:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advent Film Group

Okay, done. I added a brief mention of the film next to the blip on Hannah Rosen's book in the history section of the PHC article, as well as a link to their site in the external links section.--DebateLord 21:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Flame(Rapper).jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Flame(Rapper).jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 15:27, 7 August 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.
