[edit] NBA Draft (s)

If you look at the NBA Drafts that have been worked on already, there are only two formats going. All of the drafts done are the same except 1989 NBA Draft. The 1970 NBA Draft and the 1998-to-2004 Drafts only do the first two rounds and have this format:

Pick Player Nationality NBA Team College/HS/Club Team
1 Bob Lanier USA Detroit Pistons St. Bonaventure University

Now, the table is "old" HTML, which should be converted to Wikistyle instead.

The 1989 draft only does round one and looks like this:

  1. Sacramento Kings - Pervis Ellison, F/C, Louisville

I would vote for doing the first two rounds in a formal table, and then just list the other rounds like I entered them last night. What do you think? I also propose listing the PERSON first, it is what is most important, not the NBA team, which changes with every trade, people before teams, response? This looks like some project, with all of those teams, schools, and players, we need some kind of "bot" to convert at least the teams and schools to Wikilinki's, that would help.

(After you have read this, feel free to cut & paste it to the 1986 NBA Draft talk page. We should probable move it to the Talk page of List of NBA Drafts...???) WikiDon 20:26, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sky Lopez VfD

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I was poking thru VfD and I noticed that you nominated an article for deletion. I've got no opinion on the article or its deletion, but I noticed that you did not actually create the nomination and its vote page in the technically correct way, using templates. Please look at the bottom of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion for instructions on how to nominate a page using templates so that all the correct sub-pages and links are created. Happy editing. Soundguy99 16:04, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Al Bruno III

I have placed a tag on the article Al Bruno III, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. I did this because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Al Bruno III is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Al Bruno III. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. Please do not just remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 04:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anakin Solo

Hey, you added this bit to the 'Dead or Alive?' section:

Lucasarts has confirmed that a version of Anakin—either Solo or Skywalker—will appear in the forthcoming Legacy of the Force series. It has not been confirmed if this will be as a Force ghost, clone, or some other iteration.

Not saying you're lying, but can I see the source for this? I must see this with my own eyes...Probably Skywalker though. If it turns out to be Solo, it'll too good to be true... —Mirlen 17:45, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I went back and looked for it, and it turns out that "confirmed" actually means "probably" (Force ghost) and "possibly" (Anakin). Time does strange things, I suppose. Stilgar135 01:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[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 7% for major edits and 12% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 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 23:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

you might want to go back and fix that incase I messed something up for you, sorry about that.

[edit] Swarthmore clubs

could you move the swarthmore club stuff back? i moved that to other page because it's fairly trivial invormation that most people don't care about when they want to read about swarthmore college. if they want to see it, they can look at the clubs page. maybe that page should be retitled to "swarthmore college clubs and organizations" instead of "list of...", though.

thanks. -Easytoremember 02:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

nevermind. just read the deletion thing.

If you want to start a comprehensive "Student life at Swarthmore College" page, I don't think you'd get too much grief from other Wikipedians. Anything starting with "list of", however, is immediately suspect, and when people feel that the essential information can be put somewhere else, there's not too amenable to keeping it around.

[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 16:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Boys

Thanks for trying to clear up the sourcing of the Ennis quote but the link you added doesn't work. I tried a few variations and nosing through their site but I'm getting nothing. If you could double check it then that'd be great. Thanks (Emperor 14:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

That's rgeat - thanks for digging that out. It is the key quote and (as I suspected) it was probably dramed up as a promotional slogan (possibly for their pitch of the series) and so it was provngtricky to track down and that interview goes one better than just pinning down its first use - discusses their thinking behind it. It really helps. (Emperor 00:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Capitalization for Jessica Drake

As you can see at k.d. lang and bell hooks, Wikipedia uses lower-case capitalization for proper nouns in cases where the subject chooses to be known in that way. An editor received an e-mail from a woman claiming to be drake [1]; her official website [2] and her production company's website [3] both list her that way. Stilgar135 18:05, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia generally uses whatever name most people would expect to find an article at. Three of the four external links in the article spell her name with capitals (admittedly I have no idea how reliable IAFD or AFDB are, but IMDB is usually pretty good and they spell her with capitals and kd lang in lowercase, for example) and most of the first couple of pages on Google do the same. But frankly it's entirely unimportant and if you want to change it it doesn't bother me at all. --Cherry blossom tree 18:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:HelpingtheWorldtoSee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:HelpingtheWorldtoSee.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] regarding Something Awful

As you might imagine, the paragraph in question has a kernel of truth -- SA members have a large Eve presence, and they're pretty unpopular in the game. But the deleted stuff was baseless garbage. Even if the bit about the alliance's collapse were true, can you imagine a citation that would allow the article to fairly claim "bad online attitude and unsportsmanlike game play"? That's pure opinion. In short, don't worry so much about how it looks to keep the article factual; avoid false balance. Twinxor t 18:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lincoln article

  • on this of yours, "A strict application of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 could have required return of fugitive slaves to their masters. Initially this did not occur as the slaves were classified as contraband of war, though Lincoln was unhappy with this because it implied that the Confederacy was an enemy state and thus had legitimacy." what actually was Lincoln unhappy with? that the slaves were classified as contraband of war? if so, who classified them as such? further, what was it that implied that the Confederacy was an enemy state? if this whole thing is true, it needs a much better paraphrase or a direct quote from Guelzo. i dont know what you're trying to say, which is why i restored a previous version. Stevewk 21:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • check my rewrite. if wrong, feel free to correct. Stevewk 03:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Thomas Menino.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Thomas Menino.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok ☠ 03:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:King of Skiffle.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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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.

[edit] Image:Meltwithyou.jpg

I have tagged Image:Meltwithyou.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 09:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Einsteinonthebeach.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Einsteinonthebeach.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flickr & Alan Light

Hi,

You can actually see the license for every individual Flickr picture, if you look right under "Additional Information" in the right column. I'm pretty sure Light cc-licenses everything, but it can't hurt to check before uploading. A few notes:

  1. Make sure you start out with the largest copy of the photo: you'll see a link above the picture that says "all sizes".
  2. Also, double check it hasn't been uploaded already; a lot of his stuff has.
  3. If you upload it to Commons (which I recommend), would you mind adding it to the "Alan Light" category? I've been trying to keep all of his stuff in there for easy reference.

Hope this helps. —Chowbok ☠ 03:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of New Gold Dreams

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on New Gold Dreams, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because New Gold Dreams is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting New Gold Dreams, 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 contact the bot operator 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.

[edit] Yankees Suck

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Yankees Suck, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 endorse 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 the page. Moyabrit 06:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Availability for Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anthropology/Collaboration_of_the_month

The probable sorry state of 'core anthropology' articles on Wikipedia has been recently identified here

[edit] AfD nomination of List of destroyed Star Wars planets

An editor has nominated List of destroyed Star Wars planets, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of destroyed Star Wars planets and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:TomPettyAnthology.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TomPettyAnthology.jpg. 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) 08:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Somberlain.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Somberlain.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. Undeath (talk) 17:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
