Orphaned non-free image File:CFF-logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CFF-logo.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:08, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Crops for the Future (CFF). Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question.

You need to improve article more than this or you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Here's an example of what happens to an article with minimal notability. Uʔ (talk) 08:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC) Uʔ (talk) 08:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Crops for the Future) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Uʔ (talk) 08:46, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

I would like to use this image in one of the article I was creating. Unfortunately, this new article is rejected. I'm now working to improve the article. Can this image be kept for longer period until my article is accepted? Thanks. Crops for the Future (talk) 02:22, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

No, per strict guidelines (WP:NFCC) unused non-free images are deleted....you can always reupload it when your article is ready. CTJF83 03:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

A renewed welcome

Hi there. I've noticed that you're kind of getting hit from all sides of late. I want to encourage you to hang in there. Wikipedia policies can be a bit of a pain in the backside, but if you're able to take a deep breath and adjust, I think (and hope) you'll find participating here to be really rewarding. I'm sure you have a lot to say and contribute, and I hope you stick with it and participate. Waitak (talk) 18:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

November 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you.
 
Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. Danger ^{High voltage!} 00:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

If I create a new user account, can I transfer my previous contributions to this new account? Thanks. Crops for the Future (talk) 08:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes. The way to do that is to ask for this account to be unblocked in order to change username. To do that, choose a new username which will represent only you as an individual person, and place {{unblock-un | user=new username | reason=your reason here}} below here. When unblocked, apply at WP:Changing username - read down to the bottom of that page and then click on "Simple". JohnCD (talk) 10:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

EduWiki Conference 5-6 September in Leicester, UK

I am writing to you as you have signed up to the Education Meetup at Wikimania 2012 and perhaps are interested in how Wikipedia links to education. Wikimedia UK is now running a education related event that may be of interest to you: the EduWiki Conference on 5-6 September in Leicester. This event will be looking at Wikipedia and related charitable projects in terms of educational practice, including good faith collaboration, open review, and global participation. It's a chance to talk about innovative work in your institution or online community, and shape the future of Wikimedia UK's work in this area!

The conference will be of interest to educators, scholarly societies members, contributors to Wikipedia and other open education projects, and students.

For details please visit the UK Chapter Wiki.

Please feel welcome to register or promote within your network.

Thank you, Daria Cybulska (talk) 16:20, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Name change question

Could someone perhaps explain to me how I can change the name of an article. For example, the English Wikipedia article for "yacón" should use the English spelling "yacon". How can I argue my case and make the change? Also, I find there is a general problem with many Wikipedia articles on the name of agricultural crops. Erroneously, these articles use the scientific name of the crop as title of the article, e.g. "Smallanthus sonchifolius" in the Spanish Wikipedia. This is for at least two reasons the wrong approach. It would mean that a specific crop has the same name in several languages, which is clearly nonsense. Secondly, the scientific name for a crop does not refer to the crop only but also to its conspecific wild relatives.

NusHub, if you feel that the name of a page really needs to be changed, you can be BOLD and simply change it yourself. This involves a page move. If someone undoes your change, just remember the tenants of WP:BRD and hold a discussion on the relevant talk page. As far as the plant names go, I would highly discuss the naming before moving, as there is undoubtedly a consensus that has been reached by one or more WikiProjects as to why that convention was chosen. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.. Primefac (talk) 16:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
