WikiProject Paintball News edit
  • The term "paintball gun" is no longer to be used in any article: please change this wherever you see it! We must use the term paintball marker at all times from here on out. Keep up the good work. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator
  • It has been strongly suggested by fellow member Three ways round that we add references and sources to our articles and make this our priority for now, as expansion and addition of articles has been slow of late. Go find an unsourced article and get some good references! Together we can make the WikiProject Paintball more authentic and encyclopedic. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator


Category News edit
  • The player positions pages have been renamed according to game type to be more accurate.
  • Two more subcategories have been created: Woodsball, and Speedball. If any new pages are created that are related to these, please use their respective category tags instead of [[Category:Paintball]]. Thanks!


Priority Tasks edit
To continue the project's drive toward FA status for the Paintball article, please review the project news and spend some time going over the article.
Sources: Articles such as Glossary of paintball terms have been tagged for not citing sources. Be sure to check around for more of these articles, and see if we can find some resources that can validate our information.
Current priority: The Paintball variations article needs to be synchronized with all other articles that mention variants of paintball games or paintball game types. Remember, to be consistent, that 'variants' are variants such as CTF, while 'game types' are woodsball, speedball, et cetera.

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:OldGrey-WhiteCat.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Knobcreeknightshoot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Knobcreeknightshoot.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-no-disclaimers}} 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 21:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 21:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Knobcreeknightshoot.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Knobcreeknightshoot.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. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted.

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiBIBLMenu

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiBIBLMenu, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wikipedia:WikiBIBLMenu fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Used WIKIPEDIA instead of TEMPLATE prefix, when this was intended to be a template. Blanked as well.


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wikipedia:WikiBIBLMenu, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:PB-familiar

[edit] Templates

Hi Ravenstorm. You can check out the general template documentation at Help:Template. Those type of templates will also make heavy use of parserfunctios, which are documented at m:ParserFunctions. Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. —METS501 (talk) 03:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 10 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Knob Creek Gun Range, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Image:Knobcreeknightshoot.jpg,

Hi, regarding this image which is listed on WP:PUI Was the quote you mentioned on the image page the exact wording? I can't check it out myself since my (static) IP is blocked from that site. (and I never been to that site before). The way it's stated does not mean the images are released under the GFDL. It also does not specify that the images can be modified. Could you perhaps clarify this? Thanks, Garion96 (talk) 20:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw you again uploaded those images, without answering my question. Did the photographer released those images into the public domain? (which is different then releasing it for the public) Or did he spefically stated he released those under the GFDL license? Otherwise the image will be deleted again.

[edit] Re:Ghillie suit

I was being bold! But then I closed another tab on an article and didn't realize that the ghillie suit one was in the same broweser window and it got all deleted. I had spent 20 minutes and didn't want to do it again. I decided to ask if it should have it's own article first before I spent all that time again. Thanks! Deflagro 01:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Interesting that I stumbled upon you. I don't use Wikipedia much. Anyway, I saw the image you made, logicalfallacy.gif. I am impressed that you are only 16. (Almost 16, anyway.) Interestingly, I am an evangelical Christian who plays paintball and Counter-Strike. I also do a lot of programming. Same with my younger brother, who is actually your age. He also calls himself a pyromaniac. Are you into apologetics at all? Email me if you like: razzendahcuben [at] gmail [dot] com Razzendahcuben 01:04, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spyder Rodeo

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Spyder Rodeo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Spyder Rodeo. -- Swerdnaneb 17:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
