Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments edit

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help!

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process...

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you. The Transhumanist    03:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

entries edit

Hi, i am sorry if i am contacting you incorrectly but yours was the first email contact i was able to find and i really don't want to spend all that time trying to find out who is the right person. So please forward this email if there is someone more approrpriate to take it on.

I just wanted to make a complaint/raise an issue. You might have a policy on this rendering my problem null and void, I don't know.

I like using wikipedia. I am a layperson but its good to come here for technical information or detailed information on technical subjects. The problem i have is that often the articles seem to be written for professional users rather than your average person. They are often difficult to understand and get any useful sense from when they are of a scientific nature.

It seems to me that when scientists and other specialists write the entries that they are writing for themselves or at least students in the field, someone with a fairly large degree of assumed knowledge.

It would be good if writers could be encouraged to write more for your average person.

Today's query was about glycogen. Last year i read some information about glycogen as an energy source and was interested in finding out about how we burn it for energy and how it helps regulate fat metabolism through exercise. but there was only a tiny paragraph on this aspect of glycogen. The other paragraphs were really quite technical i think.

When i looked up obesity ( i think it was) it was even more difficult to make sense of as a layperson.

I know you rely on volunteers but perhaps if the encyclopedia is intended for general use, tehn entries could at least contain a degree of information written in a manner that your average person with an interest could get something from it. I mean, i still want more than a summarising sentence, i want to how how the whole thing works but in language i can understand.

thanks if you can do anything about this problem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.236.37.111 (talk) 06:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC).Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Austin Toros logo.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Austin Toros 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. fuzzy510 04:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Admin coaching request edit

Hi, I'm GorillaWarfare and am hoping to receive some coaching to become an admin. If you'd like to coach me, please leave a message on my talk page. You can see my edit count here but don't be surprised when you see that I have 25 edits. That is because I recently forgot the password to my old account, User:Theunicyclegirl. Here is my edit count from my old account. I almost have 2000 edits. I frequently revert vandalism by watching Lupin's filtered RCs. I also like to expand stubs, particularly those relating to cats or dogs. I am very good with user warning templates and speedy deletion templates. I sometimes respond on AFD. Thanks for considering me! --GorillaWarfare talk 16:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use disputed for Image:Viktor Sanikidze.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Viktor Sanikidze.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 02:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
