Argo (oceanography)

Please make sure to look at WP:COI. If you want to expand an article about your own organization, the best way to do that is to use the article talk page to make suggestions, rather than editing the article directly. It is difficult for somebody connected to the subject of an article to remain completely objective. In any case, your objectives will be better served if you can get other editors interested in the topic and work with them, rather than trying to do this by yourself. - Jehochman ^Talk 18:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Argo Float Network4.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Argo Float Network4.png. 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Argo

Hi Hjfreeland,

As it seems you may not be watching the talk page, I copy my recent post here:

Thank you for the explanation. It would be much better though if a document referring to Argo could be referenced that predates the 1998 publication using ARGO as an acronym. As it is, your note seems to directly contradict an Argo Science Team (old name of the Argo Steering Team) publication:

"This document describes some initial ideas for the design and implementation of Argo, a global array of autonomous profiling floats. The original concept grew out of two independent, but connected, initiatives, "A Proposal for Global Ocean Observations for Climate: the Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography" (ARGO)..."

If indeed the name Argo was conceived before the acronym, it shouldn't be difficult to produce some evidence to that effect. If, rather, the acronym came first, then I'm afraid wishing it would go away is not a sufficient reason (though it is an understandable one) for excluding it from the article. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source for unbiased information, not a branding tool. I'll leave the acronym out for now, but please provide a source if you can.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:20, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
