User page

Hi, just wanted to drop a note that I generally like your work here at WP. Have you thought about making a user page? :) --Lowellian 19:13, May 21, 2004 (UTC)

All right, I have added three characters to my user page. --Rjyanco 10:52, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Ram-Man: I don't really care, so here you go:

   I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Multi-licensed into the public domain
I agree to multi-license my eligible text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under Wikipedia's copyright terms and into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions in the public domain, please check the multi-licensing guide.

Punctuation

I noticed you changed my edit to the Williams College page to put the comma inside the quotation marks. Please see this page for the Wikipedia consensus of how to treat punctuation and quotation marks (it's about half way down the page). I moved the comma back outside the quotes but kept your other changes. Thanks Chuck 23:07, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image:Holden ma map.png

Greetings. Did you make Image:Holden ma map.png yourself? If not, where did it come from? Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 19:43, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for splitting the Williams College article. You were right, the list of alumni was getting out of hand. It's much better this way.--Sophitus 20:56, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Trivial Edits

I don't know what to make out of you reverting trivial edits from more than a year ago. These are changes I agreed on with the 2 persons who initiated them. It is obvious that you either have a bitter taste in your mouth or malicious intentions to keep something that hardly anyone cares to remember. Rananim 01:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it is you Rananim that wants to bury the past, but you can not hide from the past. Trivial? Hardly. 24.95.48.161 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- relax, i've got more interesting and exciting things to do with my time. i stand by what i said 2 years ago though i should have been more diplomatic. either way, nobody but you cares about it. Rananim 19:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take it to your own Talk pages, gentlemen. -Rjyanco 01:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Bradford_college.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bradford_college.gif. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Notable old Bedalians (is that the correct term?)

Hi there - I noticed you were the guy who originally created the article on Bedales school and mentioned the clarinettist Gervase de Peyer. As it happens, his agent is also my father (see the agency website at <www.angelus.co.uk>. Could you tell me what you know of him? With permission from him and from my father, I will create a stub here on Wikipedia which would link to his page on my dad's website.--RichardHarrold 22:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC) (reply)[reply]

License tagging for Image:764px-Vanunu-Hand big.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:764px-Vanunu-Hand big.jpg. 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. 05:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Seung-hui Cho

This has been the subject of intense debate at the Cho Seung-hui discussion page. Please weigh-in there if you'd like, but the consensus appears to be in favour of Cho Seung-hui. -Scientz 06:09p, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

German Article about Worcester Academy

I uploaded two pictures of yours into Wiki Commons ([1] and [2]) so I could use them in the German article about WA ([3]). I hope your OK with that.

Re: Cheryl Bentov

I agree that it was a pretty crappy AfD result as I don't like deleting articles on notable people... however I have to close an AfD according to consensus, otherwise my head will be found on a pike somewhere. Normally I'd tell you to go to deletion review, but I see you've already recreated the article, and I don't care enough to delete it again. Cheers! east.718 at 02:47, November 28, 2007

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Vanuunu-Article.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Vanuunu-Article.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) 02:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Princeton ma map.png

Thank you for uploading File:Princeton ma map.png. 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of National Assessment & Testing

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on National Assessment & Testing 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Public Franchise League

The article Public Franchise League has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is no evidence that this league was notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
