[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 36% for major edits and 6% for minor edits. (Based on the last 148 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 22:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Occupation

Baon-n-jour! Nice work on the Occupation article. I've uploaded some more Occupation and Liberation images (from Jersey) to Commons - if you want to use any, they're in Category:Jersey. Mercie bian! Man vyi 14:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helpme

I am preparing a page for the Parisian park - Parc Monceau (which is referenced by a few places but is a red link) - I see that the French page fr:Parc Monceau has a photo of the park. My question is, how do I include the French photo in my English page. I have tried a few variations of the following without success, fr:Image:Roseraie parc monceau.jpg and have searched Help for clues too.

Hi! The image is uploaded to the French Wikipedia so there is no way to use it in the English Wikipedia. What you need to do is upload the image to the Commons (where all Wikipedias will be able to use it) or the English Wikipedia. To upload it you would first have to save the picture to your computer. When you upload it, it is very important to include all the original details provided.--Commander Keane 00:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels

Hi thank you for joining the WikiProject. There is still plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We are about establishing standards for Novel based articles and writing articles that meet our own and others high standards, and to improve Wikipedia's diet of articles on Fiction books, otherwise called Novels. If you have any questions, do ask. Please be very welcome. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 15:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:CastleCornet.png

Thanks for uploading Image:CastleCornet.png. 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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 06:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] [1]

Whether you agree with the move or not, reverting it with a cut-and-paste move is one of the worst things you can do. Please refrain from doing this again. —Nightstallion (?) 12:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== OK, I will refrain from doing this again - please point me in the direction of instructions as to the correct procedure. However, I suggest that you also leave the same message on User:David Warner's page, as he is the one who appears to be in most need of education in wikipedia guidelines. footie 14:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Help:Moving a page. If you can't move a page yourself, file a requested move. David did not per se violate the guidelines; he only moved the page because he thought the new title to be more correct, and he did not fuck up the edit history like you did. ;) No hard feelings, just trying to explain things. —Nightstallion (?) 14:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

That may be - but he did fuck up a perfectly sensible page title without discussion. footie 15:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Occupation of... etc. - I created a proper encyclopedic title to be consistent with all as 1) it defines who & when and 2) for some places/countries there was more than one historical occupation. Also, leading with the word "Occupation" distorts Internet searches. Hope this clarifies matters. David Warner 17:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

OK Nightstallion - what makes it OK for this pillock to repeatedly move this page to a longer and no less illuminating page name, and not me ? Or are you going to give him a bollocking too ? footie 19:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Stop it, both of you. I've reverted your changes and move-protected the page. If either of you wants to move the page anywhere, discuss it on the talk page first, and *don't cut and paste* it. This goes for both of you. Thanks. —Nightstallion (?) 16:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I object to your patronising tone with me, when you have left no messages on the page of the instigator (David Warner). If you had studied his discussion page you would have noticed that I am not the only one who objects to his vandalism - he has seriously pissed off contributors to the pages of the Occupations of Norway and Denmark too ! footie 19:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't meaning to be patronising, just trying to clarify that what either of you did was not really optimal, though I have to agree that David's actions were worse to a certain degree. —Nightstallion (?) 12:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Channel Islands/Isle of Man geography stubs

Hi Sgfoote - just a quick note to you and the other editors I know of in either IoM or the CIs that the old {{UK-crown-geo-stub}} and Category:Crown Dependency geography stubs has been split into separate stubs for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Not sure if you ever used the old template and category, but if you did, the stubs are now marked with {{ChannelIslands-geo-stub}} or {{IsleofMan-geo-stub}} and categorised in Category:Channel Islands geography stubs and Category:Isle of Man geography stubs.

[edit] The Three Little Words

Hi. I saw your vote on the Guernsiais move. Tell me -- do you speak/write in Guernsiais, or know of anyone who does? Reason I am asking is a little side project: How does one write "I love you" in Guernsiais? I know there are numerous "ILY" sites on the internet, but many seem to be carbon copies of each other, and according to some multilingual friends of mine, they are not always accurate. So if you could help me out, I would be grateful. If not, no matter -- but thanks for your consideration. Cheers. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 05:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article.

[edit] Re: William Le Lacheur

Hi, and thanks for our note about William Le Lacheur. First off, I'd like to point out that I don't give out "B's" by the bucket, so please take it in the spirit it was given. That said, there are some straightforward things you can do to get the article to the "high-b/good article" area.

First, take a look at this article: Domenico Selvo. The first thing you notice is that it has a nice meaty lead, following WP:LEAD.

That article has 5 or 6 pictures. It seems like there must be pictures around of stuff pertinent to Le Lacheur's life: the church he was married in, one of his ships, or a picture of a ship like he ran, the town he grew up in, a train line he built in Costa Rica, something like that. One caveat: don't use a picture of a stamp -- that will cause problems. But, if you can find pictures of the stamps, you can link to them in "External Links"

Notice the inline citations, following WP:CITE, and how they're split off from the references. It's up to you, but I've been using {{Cite book}} for my reference sections, and being sure to include the ISBN's.

Now, take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography#WikiProject_Biography_11_easy_steps_to_producing_at_least_a_B_article. You should do #4: add the Persondata template. He should probably go into more categories (#6). There are only about 10 links into the article, that should probably be higher.

Some quick opinions:

  • Merge "early life" with "family and children."
  • Turn "family and children" into prose. If the children's spouses aren't notable, consider omitting them.
  • It seems like "Contribution to Costa Rica" should have an opening paragraph: "Le Lacheur had a significant impact on the development of Costa Rica..."
  • I'd remove "Contribution to" from the three sub-heads.
  • It seems like there should be more "See also" and "External links."
  • The memorials section should probably be turned into prose.

I also suspect there's more to tell about him. But I don't know anything more than I've read here. Just off the top of my head, I'd think about adding 5 or 10 more paragraphs in the biography section.

I think at this point, you'd be close to a GA, and should start judging it against the good article criteria, and perhaps getting a peer review. I'm working on an article at a similar level, Andrew Furuseth, that might be easier to compare to than Domenico Selvo. If you have any questions, comments, or anything please feel free to ping me on my talk page, or on Talk:William_Le_Lacheur. Best of luck and cheers. HausTalk 00:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I would agree with the suggestions Haus gives above. I also got that feeling that "there's more to tell about him", but I don't know anymore then I just read. Other things that might help are: inline citations (and more references), also some of the prose is a bit "clunky", which causes some important points to be lost. If you don't mind I would like to have a go at some basic prose issues. (I don't want to step on your toes though, so I will wait for the go ahead from you.)--DO11.10 22:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crown dependancy place infobox

Hello, I've noticed you're a Wikipedian in or from the Channel Islands. There is a discussion found here regarding the possible use of the Template:Infobox UK place on settlement articles relating to the three Crown dependancies of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

It's a very strong infobox with alot of automation, flexibility and localised mapping, (examples are found at Kirkwall or Chew Valley) and though is entitled with "UK", wouldn't formally display the United Kingdom in any article. I'd welcome you to discuss if this is a good idea for these island's towns and villages. Hope to hear from you, Jza84 23:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations to our 225 new members
From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.
