Updates to Baylor University article

edit

I have been working on a number of articles and items related to Baylor University including the main Baylor University article. Also, I am still learning proper etiquette and culture here on wiki. Several days ago I edited in two places in the article the total number of staff, faculty, and students. I think you changed those numbers back to what they had been previously. I would like for us to arrive at the best way to get these numbers updated.

804 is the faculty number cited in several university reference documents, but those documents make clear that this number is for AAUP defined faculty and does not include library faculty. I included a reference to the 2006 Fall Facts [1] which shows that there are 31 additional faculty members from the library bringing the total faculty count to 835. The later referenced document in the article under reports total faculty and that is explained in the document. The same report that I cite above provides a ocunt of total staff at the university.

The student enrollment data that is now reported in the article is from the Fall 2006 enrollment information. New reports showing Spring 2007 enrollment figures have been released. I may well have cited the wrong report and numbers in my update. That doesn't really matter to me now. I just want to get the right info out there. This is the Spring 2007 enrollment report [2]. Is it most common to report total headcount on enrollment or total FTE?

I believe that it would be more accurate to reflect the numbers from the reports that I mention above within the article. I am looking for guidance and a way for us to avoid bouncing back and forth between the new and old numbers. Please excuse any malaprops that I may have made in this communication. As I said above, I am new to the environment and culture and appreciate any guidance. Thanks --RKWoodruff 02:17, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Space Shuttle Atlantis

edit

Hi, thanks for undoing Rebecca's revert of my date edit at Space Shuttle Atlantis. You may be aware of this, but she has promised several different editors that she will revert each such edits. If you look at her contributions, you will see that she has used the admin rollback tool to do exactly that.

Several editors are also complaining to her about incivility. See her talk page, and comments she has made elsewhere. Regards. bobblewik 18:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply


Tucson Toros memorabilia

edit

Hi, and thanks for stopping by my Talk page. I'm not aware of our having any Eusebio equipment, although there may be a cracked bat in there with his name on it. We bought a helmet and a few other things at the time of the name change, but I don't have rosters from 1993 and earlier for looking up numbers, so in some cases we never know whose stuff it was. I did have an Orlando Miller Javalinas jacket, but to my lasting distress I lost it somewhere about five years ago. A least one of the Jerseys is Chris Hatcher, but I don't really remember, if I ever knew, who else is represented. We started going to Toros games around July 1993, so we didn't have all that much chance to see Eusebio before he was promoted to Houston. Regards.

re: Mayonaise -> Mayonnaise

edit

The Smashing Pumpkins song is intentionally spelled as "Mayonaise" as opposed to Mayonnaise. I noticed this was changed on The Smashing Pumpkins discography. I'm not sure it it was changed on any other pages. Cjosefy 14:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for that. I've added that article to my exception list. Cheers, CmdrObot 15:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:The Metro Chicago.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Image:The Metro Chicago.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [3], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

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 [[ Talk:Image:The Metro Chicago.jpg|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 a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 23:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Mashed Potatoes (album)

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mashed Potatoes (album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Better source request for File:GeorgePShultz.jpg

edit

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic . Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
