Manu Chao

I'm not sure where you are, but Manu Chao is making one of his "exceedingly rare" US appearances at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. on August 1, 2006.[1] Maybe they're not so rare after all 8)--Rockero 19:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed he is performing in the Bay this year; however, this does not change the fact that his performances in the US are rare. A quick Google of the term "manu chao "rare US" concert" yields over one hundred hits, though most are to Lollapalooza press releases. Still, the last US performance I could find mention of was a handful of dates in Los Angeles in 2000 [4], pretty scarce for an artist who tours so extensively.HumbleGod 19:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't challenging the claim. I was just excited. I bet the government here discourages him from performing. PAZ, --Rockero 19:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting the upper case in the title of this article.

My bungled AfD of Maths A

Thanks for the reminder! I think I got confused and messed up the steps because (a) it was my first multiple AfD nomination, and (b) I added it to the List of Australia-related deletions, which made me think I had done Step 2! Regards, Canley 09:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Israel

is it not a fact that Israel is considered by the UN to be a sovereign nation???

Revert of good anon edit

Hi. My session dropped, and I seem to have been not logged on when I just made a grammar correction in Johnny Cash. I made it with an accurate edit summary: "none" takes a singular verb, which is correct. You reverted me with vandalproof. Please be more careful, I find that most anonymous edits are actually positive contributions, and this one was no exception. Thanks for your consideration. -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, edit summaries are helpful. Anyway, in this case: "none of these friendships was/were about politics", don't we rephrase as "not one of these friendships was about politics", to see how it goes? -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No hard feelings, I don't doubt your intentions at all. Still, could you explain the rule to me, so I'll know better in the future? I don't understand: ""none" traditionally takes the number of the word in which modifies it. What does that mean, in this case? -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:51, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; I get it now. -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User page edit

Hello, that wasnt no content removal which you guys call vandalism. Me and Pi were having a personal talk. There was no wiki content in that. Was just cleaning up MY user page discussions. I dont think there is anything wrong in that?!! You there? I think the edit should not have been reverted. Whats going on? Kind of a newcomer right now. Thanks. Further, if i registered now, will all my previous posts be converted to my new name??? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.91.203.71 (talk • contribs) 22 July 2006

Hey, that particular message from pi was not a warning, it was a conversation I was having with him. I had a chat with pi about his warning. So, where is the question of misleading anyone about a conversation with pi and that would be a miscontruetion. I dont want to keep that converstation part on discussion, so dont I have the right to edit or delete my user page discussions?? I dont see how that is harming anyone! I would like to keep a clean slate and have already sorted it out with pi. If you want I can add POV to his warning. You mind if I clean up the page? I just like to keep things clear. Do I have the right to revert to the page as you saw it and add pov to pi's warning to make the point?? or maybe you have the right and should revert it back to its state. Thanks. I dont see why anyone should bother about the conversation and I want to clear it?

Are the warnings of you guys totally impersonal and everyone gets them a lot?? 219.91.203.71 21:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the revert to this guy, see my talk for further info. Cheers muchly Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 23:06, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of pop punk bands and List of straight edge groups

I was looking these over and was about to close them as "categorize" when I realized the insane amount of work that would dump on me. Are you willing to take it on? In the future, it would probably be better to boldly create the category and then nominate the list for deletion as redundant... or even just redirect it. Mango juice^talk 16:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been trying to get a hold of Mangojuice, but if HumbleGod will respond (if you are working on the Category:Pop punk groups). Basically, i'm suggesting that we keep both the Category and the List of pop punk bands. I wrote some arguements for support on the talk page on the List and in the debate which was closed only after 6 or so votes. Anyway please consider this. Thanks!

Damn you're seriously into a lot of music hahah. I'm not as broad as you are in terms of music, but I also like listening to underground rap. I'm not really into rock though, but that song "Twisted Transistor" by Korn gets my blood pumping. Ridiculously good song. I love funk music though. I watched Undercover Brother and I really like the soundtrack, so i started to dig into funk music. How's that Quannum template coming along? I just kinda got into doing stuff on wikipedia.

vandalism of Changes/warnings on L0b0t's user page

It's good form to provide links to such archives on your talk pages. It is certainly not my place to decide what goes on someone's talk page, but Wikipedia policy is pretty clear on this: removal of warnings from one's own talk page is considered vandalism. Please refer to WP:VAND. -- H·G (^words/_works) 19:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are warnings on WP:CIVIL, WP:OR, and WP:3RR, to say nothing of the {{wr0}} warning I placed advising you to not remove material from your Talk page. This is pretty unambiguous. I have not, nor will I, decide what is appropriate for your Talk page; Wikipedia guidelines make the decision themselves. -- H·G (^words/_works) 19:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion of Roy Moore article

I've been working on an expansion of the article on Roy Moore for about a week. At the moment it can be seen in my user talkspace. Please feel free to raise objections or suggest changes/additions to the draft in this space. However, as the draft is still in my user talkspace, please do not alter it at this time. Thanks! -- H·G (^words/_works) 03:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The draft looks like a very solid article with much more on his judicial career which is, of course, his claim to notability. Good work. A fewminor points which have bothered me: First, both the existing article and this version label the links as "pro" and "anti". I think it would be worthwhile trying a version without subcategories for "pro" and "anti". Links to the Foundation for Moral Law and to his campaign site are self-explanatory. If the opinion pieces are notable enough for inclusion as WP:External links, those opinions could surely be introduced in the text and linked as references. Second, your section on "campaign and election" quotes Moore without citation. It appears that your account of the campaign could be expanded, especially since Rove's participation brings wider interest. (also, you left the "t" out of "significantly"). Third and last, the section on Homosexuality and child custody should probably be renamed, as it may be misleading in the context of a biography. Though I know it is not your intent to mislead, perhaps using the name of the case would be more neutral. I think the section would read better if it began with the sentence "Chief Justice Moore issued an opinion in a 2002 child custody case which expressed his belief that the State should rightfully use its powers to punish homosexual behavior."... The style of introducing a separate thread that only later ties into the story is characteristic of a chapter in a book, not a section in an encyclopedia.

With or without these suggested changes, your improvements have my support. --Dystopos 06:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Moore gov.jpg

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.

Unspecified source for Image:Apsci.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Apsci.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 09:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Supremelyricism.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that 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).

Image source problem with Image:Chiefxcel.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Chiefxcel.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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 12:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 12:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Moore_campaign2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Moore_campaign2.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 14:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:07, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Moore plaque.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Moore plaque.jpg, which you've attributed to OTRS ticket is not valid. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:34, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.
