[edit] Indiana University
Hi
I see that you have done a great deal of work on the Indiana U athletic teams. What whould you think of moving the page to Indiana Hoosiers? Many of college athletic programs pages are done in that style Smith03 21:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- I noticed that and had considered it. I was following the lead of the Kansas schools, but I think you're right and "Indiana Hoosiers" would be more appropriate. Feel free to change/merge it, but obviously be sure to correct the existing links to the other page. Thanks for helping. --YHoshua 21:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Update: I went ahead and did it. Thanks again for the suggestion.--YHoshua 22:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Nice work. Lambertman 20:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DYK
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Mike Davis (coach), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
[edit] Mike Davis article
I notice that the text of the Mike Davis article that you created bears striking similarities to the CollegeSports.com article found here. Does there perhaps need to be a reference made here? -Maaya 05:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- It is only portions that use facts released by the university. Most important, the school's biography is a perpetual press release created to be used by the media and similar bodies for the very purpose of "fair use." The school's bio can be referenced for additional information, and that may be helpful, but it need not be referenced for copyright or fair use purposes. --YHoshua 05:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Maaya 05:32, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hey Joshua Wassup!
How is it going Joshua Clayborn? How the sports at Indiana? I like your website, and your blog is very interesting.
I think it is a shame they deleted your article - I think you are just about notable. But, the good thing is that it got you interested in wikipedia.

[edit] Evansville
Okay, I've blocked him (I prefer blocks over protecting pages). Tell me if you need anything else. --King of All the Franks 03:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- I reverted the vandalism and warned him a few minutes ago with {{spam1}}. I just checked the block log, and Merovingian did block him indefinitely for the spamming. If he comes back (maybe under another account, or just editing from an IP) and vandalism persists, I suggest listing him at WP:VIP after giving the necessary warnings. I also have the article on my watchlist now, so I can help out with reverting any additional spam to the article. (However, due to final exams this week, I might not be editing as much as usual until Sunday.) --Idont Havaname 04:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Many, many thanks.--YHoshua 13:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

- He's now been unblocked by Jareth, since he has said he intends to be a major contributor and has stated that he is not intending to sell anything. He sent an email to me about his site and intentions; I can forward that to you, if you want. I think that his edits to Evansville, Indiana, were largely in good faith; he mentioned to me that his competitors, such as Evansville Living, are allowed to have their links there. This should probably be discussed on Talk:Evansville, Indiana; you made a revert due to "consensus", when in fact the topic had never discussed on talk. This should tell both of us, and Merovingian, to more careful; some of the terms that have been thrown around regarding including his site made him upset with us. Hopefully, we can remedy that. --Idont Havaname 20:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, I didn't say a consensus had been reached. I told him to move it on the talk page until one had been reached. However it is worth noting that he was the only one adding the link and numerous people had been removing it.--YHoshua 22:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Also worth noting is that he has not made other contributions. The only contributions he has made, and made repeatedly, are links to his own site.--YHoshua 22:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rex Mundi
I've created a stub on Rex Mundi at Rex Mundi High School. Only thing I know about it is that both my Aunt Donna and Bob Griese went there. Please add anything you might know about it.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Persinger.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Persinger.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. Stan 03:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indiana University disambig
I imagine this is a perennial subject, but after a rv war between myself and another user, the subject of changing Indiana University to redirect to Indiana University Bloomington has resurfaced here. Given your edits to the articles in question, I thought you might want to weigh in. Cheers! -- Merope 20:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Trmusic.jpg
I've now replaced this image with Image:JacobsSchoolofMusic.jpg. The fair use image you uploaded is now orphaned, and is to be deleted. Thanks for uploading it, but we need to have free licensed imagery where possible. --Durin 17:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Iuaud.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Iuaud.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 16:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Trgates.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Trgates.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.
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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 16:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello there,
I noticed your note on the category in question. Agreeing with it wholeheartedly, I nominated it for deletion. If you would like to voice your opinion on it, you can go [1] there.--Thomas.macmillan 00:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cat:Wikipedians in Evansville, Indiana
Hey there,
First congrats on earning your J.D. As I'm sure you are aware, it's quite a significant accomplishment and I respect anyone who has the ability and makes the effort to obtain such a distinction. I have considered law school from time to time, as I'm currently a grad student at USI, but I think I'm going to work for my Ph.D in philosophy instead and go into teaching.
I created a category for Wikipedians in Evansville, and I saw your comments on the Evansville entry talk page and thought I'd do a little promotion.
It's nice to "meet" you, and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Kelvin-pic.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Kelvin-pic.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Usi.gif. 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.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Mbrand.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mbrand.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 22:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
