Could you please not remove the {{Massachusetts-State-Highway-Stub}} until the SFD debate has concluded? Thanks. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 08:21, 6 November 2005 (UTC) You wrote:
Hi, sorry, didn't mean to delete it. Noticed the MA highway stub was up for deletion and wanted to start a new one for the articles I created (titled Massachusetts-road-stubs as was suggested). I see you're a road enthusiast too??
Yup... that's basically all I do on Wikipedia. Um... well as it stands now the stub won't be deleted, maybe just renamed. I'd wait on that until we figure out what will happen to all the road stubs. As for the NY highways template... we find that those templates only work for states with few highways... not for states like New York or California (the resulting template would be huge). Sorry about that though. If you have any questions you can talk to me here. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
- In regards to the MA stub you created... let's wait until next week to decide what to do since we don't know if the old one will be deleted or not. I'm not quite sure what to do with the Florida template though. Large templates are generally frowned upon on Wikipedia in favor of the page called "List of x numbered highways" where x is a state, as well as the category called "X state highways." --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:57, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Just a few suggestions: when you are inserting a template you can just type in {{Florida State Highways}} for example... you don't have to cut and paste. Also, I've redirected the "Hawaii State Highways" and such templates to "List of Hawaii state highways" (or whatever the list is called) since the only contents of the former were a template (that was copied and pasted). It's not a problem though, it does take a while to figure everything out on Wikipedia. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:45, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Templates
[edit]A concern I have: U.S. Highway 6 already has 2 state highway templates. We can't have this for highways like I-95 for example (15 states?) --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:DanaMA.jpeg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:DanaMA.jpeg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 05:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wilmasign.jpg)
[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Wilmasign.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Sue Anne 22:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Denver 2008
[edit]Hey, how's it goin'? I see you've joined a campaign I started here on Wikipedia; Wikipedians for Denver 2008. Thanks for your support. With your help and that of others here on the 'pedia, and abroad, we'll bring the DNC home to the west! I'm Editor19841 by the way, a Denver native and contributor since October 2005. If you've got any questions, comments, etc., always feel free to ask via my talk page. Anyhow, have a good one. Editor19841 22:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Denver 2008 - the latest
[edit]Hey, Wikicali00. I'm dropping by the talk pages of Wikipedians for Denver 2008 today with an update on the bidding process and where Denver's bid is currently at.
First off, Denver has a new, unofficial bid homepage up today: http://www.denverdnc2008.com/ , which you may want to check out for more info on the bid to bring the DNC to the Mile High City in '08.
Second, today the site-selection committee is expected to announce the final two cities in the bid for 2008. It's expected by most pundits and bloggers that Denver and St. Paul will likely be the two finalists, but many think that dark horse New York may edge out a seat in the final days of the bidding process.
Third, we're expecting an official site for Denver's bid to emerge within days from the mind of Colorado Democratic Party V.C. Dan Slater (founder and operator of the popular Colorado blog Demonotes).
Well, that's the basics of the day-after-Labor Day DNC update, from a dem from Denver (that'd be me). If your looking for more info on the process that this is all about, check out the premier blog for doing so, http://demconwatch.blogspot.com (a link is on my page: links section for both this blog, Demnotes, and Denver 2008). If you’re looking for more info on the Democratic Party straight from the donkey's mouth check out http://www.democrats.org the official site of the Democratic National Committee.
Anyhow, have a good one. Editor19841 (talk) 23:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Update
[edit]Denver has succeeded in it's bid for the DNC and will proudly host our party in 2008!!! I wanted to drop by and personally thank you for your support. Our support and the support of others made this one go big, and you were a part of it! Thanks again! Editor19841 (talk) 19:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Newington Mall
[edit]- Newington Mall, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Newington Mall satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newington Mall and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Newington Mall during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 18:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps the article (or a portion of it) could be incorporated into a greater New Hampshire shopping center page? We could consolidate them neatly without all the "fluff" that's already there. Just a suggestion. If nothing else, whereas most NH malls draw a lot of business from Massachusetts, Newington/Fox Run are situated conveniently next to the state of Maine, and depend greatly on Maine shoppers due to NH's lack of sales tax. It is also only one (out of two) malls that had Filene's as an anchor store which become a secondary Macy's after the Federated/May merger. Cape Cod Mall is the other. -J
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Debbifields.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Debbifields.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Not a problem.
[edit]I understand. Do what you have to do. If I posted a little more often, I'd probably be less likely to make these mistakes. I do have a few pictures I'm considering adding to articles in the near future (one is of the 2007 San Diego wildfires), and they're pics I've taken, so there won't be any copyright issues. Thanks for the notice. jeff (talk) 23:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Lee Marks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Image permission problem with Image:DanaMass.jpeg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:DanaMass.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jay32183 (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The Orange Lie
[edit]Hi WikiCali. I wanted to drop youa line about your recent additions of critical material to the Orange Line article. I have reversed them because they were controversial but unsourced. The orange lie thing had been added before, but the source was just a comment on a forum and so was unreliable. Please provide sources for material like this. If you don't know how, please drop me a line and I will suggest some possibilities. The at grade, not reducing traffic criticism also needs a source, some sort of expert/prominint critic or something. Thanks! Diderot's dreams (talk) 19:36, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

File:DYRHS.jpg needs authorship information.
[edit]The media file you uploaded as File:DYRHS.jpg is missing information as to its authorship (and or source) , or if such information is provided it is confusing.
Although images may not need author information in un-controversial cases, or where an applicable source is provided, such information aids those making use of the image, and helps verify the copyright status of an image.
If possible, please consider updating the media information page to make the authorship (and or source) of this media clearer.
If the media is your own work, please consider explicitly including your user name or using the {{own}} template on the media information page.

Speedy deletion nomination of George VII (disambiguation)
[edit]
A tag has been placed on George VII (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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 "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Disambiguation link notification for January 24
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cannabis (drug), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Washington. 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 image File:FoxRunMall.JPG
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:FoxRunMall.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:15, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Important notice
[edit]Hi Wikicali00,
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
In your edit to the article about Sam Bankman-Fried, it appears that you have combined sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. To avoid this from happening, please always provide reliable sources that directly support your claims.
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:10, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I included that because I noticed it says "List of American Expats" in the links at the bottom of the article with nothing to back it up. It was probably good to undo my edits however, because he's selling his grand penthouse, nullifying his Bahamian citizenship yada yada.... Wikicali00 36:0 02:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Your signature and linter errors
[edit]Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to '''[[User talk:Wikicali00|<span style="color:#008800">W</span><span style="color:#1234DD">i</span><span style="color:#869900">ki</span><span style="color:#BB2929">ca</span><span style="color:#EE4118">li</span><span style="color:#FF9923">00</span>]]''' ASAP.
The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature. See WP:SIGFONT for more info.
If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 19:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
