editing for wikiproject atheism
[edit]HI JMcDermott, I nabbed this nifty info box from the Digimon wikiproject, we could turn it into a good tool. Right now it has digimon stuff on it, but that can give us ideas, and help us out. Heres the template: [[1]]. If you could tell as many people as possible, that would be great. Perhaps we could replace the existing one at some point. Somerset219 08:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- hey hey, I noticed the new "template", it's a great template, however i think it would be best to consolidate everything into a "one size fits all" template, like the one being worked on in my sandbox. Considering it will be replacing the other ones. Please help with the above template so we may get things better organized. I know you mean well but the more obscure templates we make, the harder to organize all the info. Its one thing with a user box, It tends to be a little more touchy with an article template. At any rate, you're obviously anxious to help, please do, I offer my sandbox, but you could also use yours, perhaps collaborate, and then edit an awesome one! Thanks!

I note from Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics that you're a member of WikiProjects Politics and are based in the UK. I was wondering if you might be able to contribute to a peer review of Socialist Studies, a political group in the UK active since 1991. The request for peer review can be found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Socialist Studies (1989)/archive1. —Psychonaut 05:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Investors in People Logo.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Investors in People Logo.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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.

WikiProject Rock music invitation
[edit]Hello WikiProject Alternative music member.
WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.
Rock on.

Unspecified source for Image:Brock_totempoll.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Brock_totempoll.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}} 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 13:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 13:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
