Re: Chinese history

Why not go to read History of China and History of the People's Republic of China? They are different articles. I think that it's also good to keep the section of History in Agriculture in China and History of agriculture in the People's Republic of China separate. Please go to Talk:History of agriculture in the People's Republic of China, not my talk page, for discussion. Thanks. --Neo-Jay 15:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think this is to avoid the confusion between i and j. Some western go board omit i, not j.--Neo-Jay 22:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

WP:AFC

Heya, noticed your "clerk note" on an AFC submission, and just thought I'd let you know we don't do clerk notes, or notes like that generally. I removed it and put it in the proper box at the top, if you need to see all the proper templates, they're located at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Templates, and the full instructions of how to review and asses/close submissions is here. :) ArielGold 20:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

ah, thank you PhilB ~ T/C 20:15, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Anytime :) Good to see you around there! ArielGold 20:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Heya, I just removed another "comment" from an AFC, the submission was a request for a redirect, those don't require anything except to confirm that the subjects are related, and that the redirect makes sense under the Wikipedia:Redirect guideline (i.e. it is a likely search term). Also, could you please use the {{afc maybe|reason}} template when commenting, just because we don't use those "vote" symbols at AFC? That helps reviewers be able to see the grey boxes immediately to see what has been reviewed and what hasn't. Thanks dear! ArielGold 22:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Its kk! thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow! PhilB ~ T/C 15:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

That looks absolutely fantastic! Thank you very much! MelicansMatkin 16:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
You can find it at User:MelicansMatkin/userbox/Last word so you include it by typing: {{User:MelicansMatkin/userbox/Last word}}
Added it to your profile, I also cleared up the code, the easiest way to get a user box table is to type {{userboxtop}} and {{userboxbottom}} and it puts them all in a table
Hope I helped! PhilB ~ T/C 15:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much! I'd thought that it seemed cluttered, but I wasn't sure how to make it less cluttered. Thanks again! MelicansMatkin 16:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

RE: Dsylexia! :-(

Your userbox links to the right page anyway so I can't see the point of Dsylexia. Also, articles in the main namespace are meant to be serious (humourous pages go into the Wikipedia namespace) and therefore it is being speedy deleted. ChrisDHDR 15:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fine, leave it as a simple redirect??? ChrisDHDR 15:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Chiodos logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chiodos logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!
WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

  1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
  2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
  3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
  4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.

Articles for Creation Appeal

Articles for Creation urgently needs your help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2401 submissions waiting to be reviewed.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog.

File permission problem with File:Adam Balon.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Adam Balon.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
