California State Assembly

Hi! I noticed that you've started List of Members of California State Assemblymen. The list is already at California State Assembly though. You might want to check to make sure your efforts aren't duplicated. -- Jonel | Speak 04:59, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I just noticed what I did. But I do like the job I did on my page better than the one that is active right now :-). Do you think we should/could replace the existing one with what I have? If so, how would you go about doing that?

Thanks

Cmdrbond 05:07, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yours is definitely much nicer to look at. My recommendation is to merge your list into the California State Assembly page - basically replace the list on that page with yours. One thing to watch out for is that a lot of the links to individual members actually point to other people, as the names are common. Then, redirect the List of Members of California State Assemblymen to California State Assembly. If you need help with this, let me know and I can assist you. -- Jonel | Speak 05:10, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply, I merged the 2 pages together but after clicking edit on one section, it seems to have messed up the section right after it. How do I fix that? the colours seem to be stretched. Also, how do I do that link manipulation you were talking about? The first person, Patty Berg, is also a golfer and the golfer's website is showing instead of the assemblywoman's

Cmdrbond 05:21, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've found out what happened - your table was closed with |-) instead of |} - when a table isn't closed it tends to do very screwy things to the whole article (I've done that myself more times than I'd like to count). The link manipulation by using what's called the "pipe trick" after the piece of punctuation used - the "|" symbol. Inside a wikilink, the portion in front of the pipe is where the link actually goes while the portion after it is what is displayed. Thus, if I put Patty Berg (politician)|Patty Berg in brackets instead of apostrophes, it would do this: Patty Berg. I've done this for all of the assemblymen and assemblywomen that needed it. You can take a look at the syntax to see it in action. Hope this helps! -- Jonel | Speak 05:29, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, now the page looks good. So should I delete the original article that got me into this trouble and if so, how do I go about doing that?

Cmdrbond 05:40, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've already gone ahead and made it a redirect. Only admins (that is, not me) can actually delete a page, but deletion usually isn't necessarily. Especially when there is an article that has the information that someone might be looking for. If you ever need to make a redirect, clear everything on the page and type in #REDIRECT: [[target]] where "target" is the name of the page the redirect points to.

Let me know if you have any other questions or problems. Happy editing! -- Jonel | Speak 05:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Just a little help

I am looking at the articles you are posting. Just a tip. You should always wikilink dates. So if it says "(April 23, 1855 - May 8, 1856)", "April 23", "1855", "May 8" and "1856" should all be wikilinked. Just a tip. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 07:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

And and, {{California-politician-stub}} is the stub tag to use for California politicians. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 07:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Good job! Looks like you are catching on. :) Only other thing is that we have a page for Mayor of Los Angeles, California and for all of the Congresses, so you can link those if you'd like. Or one of us can do it after you've left the article. :) Either way works. --

Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 07:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

This is OLD information. Dates are not wikilinked any more unless really and truly germane to the article. Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 22:42, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Truman Reeves

He is listed as dying in 1872, but was supposedly treasurer from 1899 - 1907 please resolve this. TheRingess 04:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Frederick F. Houser.gif

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Frederick F. Houser.gif. I notice 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 argue that 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 as fair use, 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 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. Thank you.Rossrs 11:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I tend to agree that a fair use claim can be made for this image. I wasn't specifically targetting this image - it was on a list of untagged images that I have been gradually working through. I've added a "Politicalposter" tag to the image page, and I've also added a fair use rationale which I think is sufficient. regards Rossrs 09:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Citybird.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Citybird.gif. 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 02:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Please do a basic grammar and spelling check before posting articles

It's frustrating to have to clean up issues that the author should be paying attention to. --James 05:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Category:California politicians

Do you think creation of a Category:Los Angeles politicians as a subset of the California politicians category would be a good idea? User:Zoe|^(talk) 19:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Biographical articles and categories

Hello. I noticed you created a couple of California politician stubs (Victor V. Veysey, William P. Baker) and added them to a category. If the title of an article is a person's name, you should use a sort key when putting them in a category, so that people in the category are listed by last name. Example:

[[Category:U.S. Representatives from California|Baker, William P.]]

This will sort Mr. Baker in the "B" section of the category rather than the "W" section. (Note that the category I used as an example has been moved to Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives from California. I'm in the process of changing all the other categories also.)
— Feb. 21, '06 [01:53] <freakofnur_xture|talk>

I've moved the Versey article to Victor Veysey. Middle initials are generally not supposed to be used for biographical article names unless needed for disambiguation. John Broughton 14:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Historical Charts of California State Legislators

Hi Cmdrbond, I agree with your idea although I don't think "California State Legislature Delegations" works since I've always understood delegations to be a group of officials representing a portion to the whole. "California State Legislature Delegations from Orange County" would work, for example. What do you think of Members of the California State Legislature or List of members of the California State Legislature? OCNative 03:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Lacitycouncildistricts.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Lacitycouncildistricts.JPG. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC).

James Stuart McKnight

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article James Stuart McKnight, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. B.

Image copyright problem with Image:G8 2008 logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:G8 2008 logo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

AfD nomination of Money factor

I have nominated Money factor, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Money factor. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. flaminglawyer^c 03:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created, Money_factor maybe deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Money_factor.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

1. You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
2. You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
   
3. When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
   Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
   Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
4. You can merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 09:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Lacounty_originalseal.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lacounty_originalseal.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 03:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Sirhan mug.JPG)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sirhan mug.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. B (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

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 Galvanina 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 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 "Click here to 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.

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 deleted 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. Aviartm (talk) 15:12, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
