Southern California WikiProject

[edit]

Based upon the goal that you've declared on your user page, you may be interested in the Southern California WikiProject. Please take a look at the project's page and see if there is anything that interests you. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me. BlankVerse 20:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote an article on a San Diego landmark, Chicano Park. I don't suppose you'd be able to contribute any information or perhaps a photo? I know there's some great imagery there, and I'd take one myself but I don't get down there that often.--Rockero 05:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Savanna elephant

[edit]

Move done. Thanks for the request.--File Éireann 23:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC). Sorry, still not done correctly.--File Éireann 23:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I made the cardinal mistake of cutting and pasting. I forgot the history must follow the text. This can only be done by an administrator (as the page Savanna elephant already exists as a shortcut - if it did not I could have moved it myself). So someone (correctly) moved the text back and it still awaits a move. I've learnt a valuable lesson--File Éireann 20:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained reverts

[edit]

Hi. When reverting article, please can you make it clear in your edit comments, along with reasons why. Many thanks, --Rebroad 18:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:DickMurphy.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:DickMurphy.jpg. 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 07:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Kpbsnewslogo.gif

[edit]
Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kpbsnewslogo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 05:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: Image:DickMurphy.jpg

[edit]

Image:DickMurphy.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:Dick Murphy.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Dick Murphy.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 07:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Jonathan-Drummond-Webb.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jonathan-Drummond-Webb.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 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. Stifle (talk) 14:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
