[edit] Enrollment Figures

I was wondering what source you used for the 101 figure. I found a site giving 258. I don't really have any idea what their enrollment is but I thought it best to know where the 101 comes from. Thanks. 12.220.47.145 15:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

At some point we should probably start adding profiles for the EVSC high schools, or do you think that's unnecessary? I'm not sure.--YHoshua 18:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

  • do you mean their own individual profiles like the one for north? i think that's a good idea. i recently added a media overview to the main page, but kept it short and sweet so there wasn't a long list of radio stations. Randella 22:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes. I've also made one for Reitz. Since high schools seem to be fair game on Wikipedia we might as well have one for all of the local high schools.--YHoshua 19:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Award

For your very helpful work on the Evansville, Indiana page, I award you this Barnstar. --YHoshua 23:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Excellent pic of the EVV airport.--YHoshua 06:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Boneyard

There is an unregistered user who is constantly changing the Evansville, Indiana page to include a vanity link to his website. The user in question is Evansvilleboneyard and the website in question is Evansville Boneyard. Do you think it deserves to be there? I certainly don't and I think it's just the website's operator who keeps adding. There's no evidence to suggest it is encyclopedia worthy. I've asked for an administrator to help us but I thought I'd get your opinion on the subject as well. On a related note, I think this is a good reason to have at least one Evansville native as an administrator to keep people from constantly reverting things.--YHoshua 03:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

  • thanks for getting that under control... i posted a reply on the main discussion page. i don't really care whether it's there or not, it is an interesting site but it doesn't rank up there with the primary media or deserve to be bolded like he was doing. Randella 17:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Halston

Hi! I'm contacting you because you once contributed to the Halston article. Unfortunately, this page has been discovered to be a likely copyright violation from its creation, and will be deleted if no one can write a temporary article to replace it. I'm not sure how much you know about this subject, but feel free to create a new temporary article if you know about the subject. Thanks for your time!

[edit] Image Tagging

Thanks for uploading Image:Reitzmemorial.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 05:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

  • i think it was a publicity photo, but i can't remember where i located it. if i locate it again i'll make sure to add the appropriate copyright info. Randella 20:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyright

Thanks for uploading Image:Onbheadquarters.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. Shyam (T/C) 22:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

  • it appears you are mistaken. the copyright status for this photo is clearly listed on the file as "Press release photo provided by Old National Bank for media use. The copyright is owned by Old National Bank." Randella 23:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Indiana

I apologize for being quick to revert those edits. They are logged as being performed by an anonymous IP address, so without any rationale included I was suspicious that any information removal may be vandalism. If they had been under your account I wouldn't have reverted, as I've seen your good work on other related articles. I agree that a great place to get the article under control is the people list, and your work is great as long as those people are still present in the dedicated list of people from Indiana article. I am a little partial to the historical religious affiliation information (for comparison), but if you don't think it's appropriate, I won't stand in the way of that either. Sorry for the trouble, Craig R. Nielsen 05:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  • thanks for the response. and yeah, i forget to login sometimes so i'm sorry about the confusion. anyway, someone else also reverted my last changes, so i'm gonna let majority rule. if you see any merit in my last attempts, feel free to make any changes you see fit. but as of now it's the way it was and i'm backing out of this one. Randella 06:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Center/Centre

Hi, thanks for adding to The Centre article. Just wanted to make sure the correct spelling of that skyscraper in Hong Kong was C-E-N-T-E-R rather than -C-E-N-T-R-E. Thanks. Somnabot 21:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

  • dunno about 'the center' skyscraper. i didn't create it but the official page is directed to that spelling. when i originally created one for the evansville convention center, there was a redirect page from 'the centre' to 'the center' spelling. figured it was easy enough to include it on the disambiguation page.

[edit] Reordering Evansville Museum

Regarding your recent change to the Evansville Museum article: it's not a huge deal, but I do believe that according to Wikipedia standard order, the "See also" section comes before the "References" section. I'm not sure why this is so, or who decreed it; but if you look at a lot of articles, I believe you'll see that it's the norm. MdArtLover 02:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

  • i don't actually know if there is a policy on this or not... i've seen it both ways and just tend to prefer 'finishing' the article before sending someone to another page or site. Randella 22:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evansville photos

Please don't remove the speedy deletion tags. The template message says how to dispute the nomination. These photos are of a city - anyone can take a free photo of it. Therefore these nonfree images are replaceable by free images. According to WP:NFCC#1, we don't accept replaceable nonfree images on Wikipedia. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • all of the images in question were uploaded under the official terms at the time and were appropriately tagged as Wikipedia:Publicity photos. i'm not going to dispute new rules and policies that i don't think make sense. personally, i think any image that has been released in a press kit should suffice. wikipedia should not be in the business of worrying about others trying to use the image in a commerical manner. delete away zealot image police.

[edit] AfD nomination of Marcia Yockey

An article that you have been involved in editing, Marcia Yockey, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcia Yockey. Thank you. Brewcrewer 01:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

  • the article survived the test... people just try to tear stuff down rather than create or build. Randella (talk) 04:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Aztar logo.gif

You removed a speedy deletion notice which clearly gave the part of WP:NFCC#10c that wasn't satisfied: "The name of each article in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline." but you didn't actually fix the problem. Rather than just calling the bot a "nazi", it would be better to fix the issue it is reporting. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

  • you sir... are a nazi. delete for all i care. you should go work for the post office or irs. you obviously know i fixed the issue since you edited a 'spelling' mistake on it. don't come on my talk and lie about what actually happened. sick of nazis. Randella (talk) 03:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That's really not a productive way to handle things. The concerns being brought up for you are legitimate, and very important to the goals of a free-content project such as Wikipedia. We take these things seriously and are trying to be as respectful as possible; I'd appreciate it if you would try to do the same. – Luna Santin (talk) 03:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
      • this bot is alienating users. if you keep it up i for one will not only complain about editors such as the creator of this bot but also stop contributing. i entered all the information that was requested by WP:NFCC#10c and then some editor jumps on me for doing exactly what it requested. wikipedia needs to come up with a streamlined and consistent image posting process rather than changing the rules and creating nazi bots.
