[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Abercrombie (Congressman), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Woodmen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free media (File:AtlantaDream.png)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:AtlantaDream.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 11:35, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hi,
I wanted to try and start a dialogue with you about some of the information you are introducing into biographical articles. Your edits today (19:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)) appear to all be citing information from the interfraternity council's blog. I don't believe this to be a reliable source, myself, and initially confused your editing for linkspamming.
I also have some concerns about WP:UNDUE, given that sometimes the information you add is nearly as long as the entire rest of the "early life" or other section you place it in. For biographies where fraternity membership does not appear to be an otherwise publicly-meaningful part of their life or career, I wonder if there is a better way of notating someone's membership without introducing clutter or weight issues.
I will watch your talk page, so feel free to either post on mine, or here. If there is guidance on this already that I am not aware of, please feel free to point me in that direction. -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ]# ▄ 19:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- To clarify, i wasn't saying it's not relevant information. in some people's lives/careers/public-faces it clearly is. And I want to encourage you to continue to add useful information. I am not in any way attempting to discourage you from your clearly motivated and good faith efforts to improve WP. when i said "have a conversation" i really did mean it. I think it's worthy of doing a bit more research on, on both our parts, to find out relevant precedents, guidance, etc here on WP. It is an interesting issue.
- And just FYI, i just found out that WP has a whole separate page, list of policies, that collects (presumably) all core content/behavior policies into one place. I think WP:RS is one of the more relevant ones to the blog posts, and possibly the yearbook thing as well. again, happy to discuss it further. -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ]# ▄ 23:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think there's nothing more I could have asked than looking-into-it-more.
- There appear to be several discussions (more available) about the use of high school yearbooks, and it's not just me that is uncomfortable with them, though for clear and unambiguous statements of fact that seems like it could be ok. There is possibly a related issue of notability, because if the person's membership in a fraternal organization is not mentioned by reliable sources then it stands to reason that that membership would not be considered notable.
- This is definitely something that I will follow with interest. I can make inquiries myself but i also wonder whether it might not be more useful for you to make them, since it's your interest? It doesn't appear that you've used the noticeboards at all in your time here, and so since you clearly have a lengthy history and personal investment in editing, it might be helpful for you to get a sense of how that sort of thing is done, navigating the noticeboards and policies and such?
- I hope that doesn't come off as condescending, I've been here for much less time than you have, clearly. I'm also happy to make inquiries to try and sort things out. I just think there might be more benefit from someone with a genuine interest in the material to be the one asking the questions. I'm more interested in the policy details, myself.
- If you want some suggestions for where to start searching/asking i'd be happy to try and help, too. -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ]# ▄ 00:13, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think you can be in any way faulted for not reading the policies, especially if noone's ever followed up with you about your edits; I don't think wikipedia eve had policies when you started editing!
- Anyway, best of luck with school, I am in much the same boat, though a different kind of program. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ]# ▄ 00:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Queen Project
[edit]Hi Lbr123, I noticed that you are listed as a participant on the Queen WikiProject. The project is currently inactive, which I think is a shame as such a great band should be recognised with equally great Wiki articles! You were one of the few participants who is still an active editor, and I was wondering if you still have any interest in this project? I definitely think it's a project worth reviving, your involvement would be much appreciated! GingerTheMinx (talk) 14:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Notable people lists
[edit]In order to put someone on a community's Notable people list, their bio has to have sourced content showing their connection to the community or you have to add a reliably sourced reference to that fact in the list (per WP:USCITY and WP:NLIST). Your recent addition to Ross, California didn't and it was removed. John from Idegon (talk) 02:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
[edit]![]() |
US Banknote Contest | ![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |
