Your Pet Peeve

I was tempted to add some love to your user page, just wanted to drop a line as a fellow black-and-gold (or blue-and-gold on saturdays) bleeder. Bravo on taking on all Sports broadcasts and everyone outside the 412/727 on it being PGH and not PIT. I always hated that the FAA used that for the airport until I found out that the train station has PGH for Amtrak. Now if only we could Europeanize the USA we could get all those folks making transfers at Penn Station get the hint its PGH. Thanks for being proud of our H, sounds like a good Usebox Idea!

WPXI

I didn't think that Sinclair owned 10% of WPXI, but wasn't completely sure, so I put up the "citation/reference" tag beside it. Thanks for finally getting to the bottom of that:) - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Toil)} 02:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much

You have done so much great work on the Moon High School article; I really appreciate that! OK, so for the movie thing, what we need is something - anything that mentions it. Is a Moon High School sign really visible in the movie? If so, that would satisfy me, but it would be nice to have something written that says that. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 03:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Cornell district logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Cornell district logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

{{Erie-stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 06:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Use of abbreviations

Just a note that I've undone this edit to WERG. The same edit was reverted at Erie SeaWolves. Per WP:MOS, when abbreviations are used, "[t]he standard writing style is to spell out the acronym or abbreviation on the first reference [...]." Likewise, WP:ABB indicates that "[t]he U.S. postal codes, such as TX for Texas, should not be used to stand in for their states in normal text." If you have any stylistic questions, feel free to consult the Manual of Style. Thanks! --Kinu ^t/_c 07:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh well, he will screw up....and I will be there waiting and watching. - SVRTVDude ^(VT) 02:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Then simply go by the criteria

instead of making up your own.[1] There is NO criterion anywhere in Wikipedia policy that says, "Local television news anchors do not warrant enough credibility to receive individual pages." If you think there is, please simply post a link to the policy alongside your quote. And simply reading the criteria for AfD would tell you that this is not a valid criterion for deletion.

Make a case about THIS television anchor, not about ALL local television anchors, especially when your case is NOT policy.

This creates problems in AfD because articles that should be deleted are kept for bogus reasons, when they are offered up for deletion with criteria that don't exist and aren't part of the deletion process. In the amount of wasted energy expended with User:TREYWiki spamming every page he can with comments about the supporters, failing at Community Bans because of lack of process, failing at RFCU because of lack of process, vandalizing these users' talk pages with his bogus vandal tags, when he's the vandal, what exactly am I to conclude when the whole mess started by you making up some criterion for deletion? I have no idea what is going on, but it's hard to assume good faith, when the criteria for deletion are clearly and plainly put out for everyone to see, you've offered up multiple pages for deletion, and other users are making false accusations against two users who simply disagree with you, and seem to think that users can't edit their own talk pages. What exactly should I conclude but that something else is going on designed to consume tons of space and time and get nothing done, precisely the end result?

If these users are problems, let them be the problems, don't make greater ones in an attempt to "get" them, because that doesn't work. The article falls or stands on its own merits, regardless of the notability of other local television news anchors (one of my local one wrote a book). Badly behaved editors who create disruptions on Wikipedia are easily aided by other editors who contribute worse disruptions in the attempt to go after them. Nothing was gained in this. KP Botany 04:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

KP Botany says "If these users are problems, let them be the problems" -- great to know that nothing is done about problematic people. It sounds like you're Ok with having users like Kd ruin Wikipedia. Lame duck. Also...local television news anchor pages -- no cited sources and don't have anything worthy therefore they should be deleted. --Write_On_1983 talk | contribs 01:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Write On 1983. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Logo-anim.gif) was found at the following location: User:Write On 1983. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 05:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ERIsticker.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ERIsticker.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. BetacommandBot 18:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:C Wolf.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:C Wolf.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.

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 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 04:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Erie, PA recently passed GA! I need your clarification about WP:ERIE/WP:NWPA. Other editors (pat) think only Erie County articles should be tagged for the project. I am under the impression it is about Northwest PA not just Erie County, so I tagged Crawford and Warren county articles too. Technically there not in the Erie Metro (its just the county) but I think they should be included in the project after looking at others (including Allentown's). I would think we want to expand and add more articles but he seems to think we want less and only Erie County. Please give us your opinion as you created the project. --T.

Replaceable fair use Image:C Wolf.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:C Wolf.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. fuzzy510 21:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

KDKA

I added the "news branding" to show that the "News" part was only used for newscasts. I tend to add too much information, mostly for the users who don't know that much about radio and television.

Proposed deletion of Peach Street

The article Peach Street has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable street

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

WikiProject C-SPAN?

Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):

• Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
• Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
• Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at Wikipedia:External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
• Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as {{C-SPAN|laurabush}}, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
• What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics.

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
