Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.

Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.

I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
You may want to add yourself to the New User Log
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Happy Wiki-ing. -- John Fader 18:43, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Summaries

Please add edit summaries when you make a change, even if it's minor. mat_x 16:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Categories and stub tags

Hello. When creating new articles, please include them in a category and, if it is a stub, add a stub tag. You can see all the available stub tags at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Category:Categories is the topmost category, where you can see all the other categories. Thanks. JoaoRicardo^talk 05:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Question for Kane5187; why are you changing tags on Categories for Osama bin Laden so that "bin" has a capital "B" instead of the lowercase "b" found in the official spelling of his name? -Syberghost 01:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Albumbox uniformity

This is a good endeavor, however I saw you change <br /> to <br>. Please don't do that since the former is correcting since the html entity must be escaped and that is how you escape single tags. Just to mae pages properly validate. gren グレン ^? 17:04, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

"Wikipedians by alma mater: Dartmouth College"

Nope, I definitely don't mind you adding me to the category. It's most of what I contribute in right now, so might as well. --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK^┐ 04:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Article creation

I have been looking through the list of unwatched pages (available only to administrators) and found 13 Stitches. I see that you created this but were not watching it. You may want to go to your preferences and under the "editing" tab turn on "Add pages you edit to your watchlist". This will enable you to keep an eye out for any edits that are made to pages you create and help to revert vandalism. If you do decide to turn it on can you please drop me a note on my talk page so I can cut down my excessive watchlist. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 02:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Big Three (universities) / Harvard-Yale-Princeton merge

Yes, I think they should be merged. Thanks for picking that up. The title doesn't matter too much as long as every reasonable entry is a redirect... I can't see anyone actually typing in either "Big Three (universities)" or "Harvard-Yale-Princeton".

What are your thoughts on the best title for the merged article? Dpbsmith (talk) 00:52, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the title. The reason why I was a little hesitant is because the two articles focus on very different aspects of the three schools: Big Three talks about the social and academic prestige, while the HYP focuses on the athletics; but I guess since they refer to the same thing (and use the same terms) they might do better together.

I only stumbled upon those articles today, so I'm not very familiar with it; I'm guessing some of you guys that are working closer to the articles should decide on the name. Nevertheless, I would probably support Harvard-Yale-Princeton since it's both more literal and also has a more solid grounding in an official agreement. Dylan 03:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I had Big Three on my watchlist, and noticed your edit indicating there was such a similar article (didn't know about the HYP article). I slapped a merge proposal on both, with a talk page explanation on each. They definitely need to be merged - even if they are referring to different aspects (athletics vs admissions), it's different aspects of the same thing. --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK^┐ 02:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

"Opiate" only about organized religion?

Hi Kane, I called your tiny yet important change to the introduction in question at the Tool talk pages. I'd welcome your input. =) --Johnnyw 18:32, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Tll.jpg

I noticed that you tagged the page Image:Tll.jpg for speedy deletion with the reason "No source information, no claim of fair use. The image (in the corner) claims a copyright to Steve Tackeff, whose website (http://www.nycmusicphotographer.com/) says that ALL RIGHTS are RESERVED". However, "No source information, no claim of fair use. The image (in the corner) claims a copyright to Steve Tackeff, whose website (http://www.nycmusicphotographer.com/) says that ALL RIGHTS are RESERVED" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use one of our other deletion processes, proposed deletion or articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks!

However, in this case, the image qualified for speedy deletion under CSD:G4, and has been deleted anyway. Stifle 20:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Jay Black

I think we should expand on this one--we should also note his career as a famous singer (see Jay Black and the Americans)--his comedic work was/is merely secondary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanley011 (talk • contribs) 21:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

That's definitely a different Jay Black. I'm going to revert your edits -- this Jay Black is in his thirties, tops. There's no way he was around in the '60s. Dylan 02:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Given that the Jay Black I'm referring to is far more famous than yours (just do a google search), I think mine should be the page that immediately pops up when you type in "Jay Black" and then on the top of the page it should say "For the comredian Jay Black, click here." What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanley011 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Moving the following section from my user page. Dylan 04:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I completely forgot that I left all that stuff dangling in there as a placeholder. Is this the only way for people to talk to each other, by editing their user pages? Any FAQ I could get on that topic would be appreciated. I'll delete the Scholder stuff now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregoryptm (talk • contribs) 00:47, May 21, 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Back in April you tagged the above article for notability. Nothing much seems to have come of it, so I wonder if you feel the tag should be removed - or replaced by a "wikify" template?LessHeard vanU 20:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, since nothing's come of it, then it should probably be put through AfD -- the idea of the notability template is that it notifies the editors that the article doesn't communicate its importance well, and allows them the opportunity to rectify that. Since no one has done so, it suggests to be that this professor isn't notable and that his article should be deleted. Removing the tag or adding a {{wikify}} won't really help it conform to the inclusion guidelines. I'll go ahead and put it through AfD if you have no objections. Dylan 20:07, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. Thanks for responding so quickly.LessHeard vanU 20:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

On 11 November, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Derek Freeman, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Image:SôberBand.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SôberBand.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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 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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok ☠ 06:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

KGOs edits on this page were awful. Again, I reverted them. The page is simply unreadable. Please examine yourself — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.0.12 (talk • contribs) 17:29, November 14, 2006 (UTC)

Those edits were atrocious. Do we have writing standards here or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.0.12 (talk • contribs) 00:59, November 16, 2006 (UTC)

If you wish to make contributions to Wikipedia, PLEASE PROOFREAD THEM CAREFULLY, both for grammatical errors and clarity. People use this encyclopedia for research. We really do try to maintain high standards here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.0.12 (talk • contribs) 07:48, November 17, 2006 (UTC)

"Grammaticality"

"Grammaticality" is not a word found in any English dictionary. Please cease using this word in Wikipedia. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.0.12 (talk • contribs) 12:20, November 17, 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Tubestock.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tubestock.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

Now that was just awesome

Haha. On Ralph Ignatowski, I copyedited it, slapped an uncategorized tag on it, and then went off to do something else. Then I realize that I've messed up the headers, so I go back to edit it. At the very end, I saw a bunch more categories - where did they come from? It ends up that you snuck in there in the three-minute timespan to add some categories and remove the tag. Now that was just awesome. Hbdragon88 07:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Mike Jeffries

What original research, you did not mention any on the talk page and having based this article on the cited articles, including the likes of Salon.com and TIME i have removed it.Qrc2006 02:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Pornotube

Claims of notability were not cited with reliable sources. Article was a recreation, as you clearly saw in the link you posted on my page, I was the fourth admin to delete this article. You can take it to WP:DRV, but see WP:SNOW. User:Zoe|(talk) 06:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I've commented on this on Zoe's talk page FYI Glen 08:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I've now posted this for others to review as I feel it was completely out of process, feel free to comment here Glen 16:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Pornotube has been recreated. I realise its not your newer version with the additional references at PornoTube, however, I would just paste your newer one over top of the current rather than pushing for the other as well at this stage. Sound good? Glen 22:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

a cappella

Thanks! By the way, I noticed that you prod-ed Harvard Din & Tonics, Raagapella, Tonal Ecstasy, and the Smiffenpoofs. I previously prod-ed those articles and the tags were removed. I was going to give them a week or so to get citations before nominating them for deletion. However, since the {{prod}} has been contested once, you should just nominate them directly, if you want to get rid of them faster. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 18:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

The rest of my prods went through so now we're down to 36 a cappella articles (with about a dozen pendings afds). Sounds about right (it was over a hundred when I first found that category months ago). Any, I thought I'd ask you to take another look at your nomination on the Smiffenpoofs. JDoorjam found a book that confirms they are the oldest women's group in the country. savid @n 02:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SlipperyWhenIII.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:SlipperyWhenIII.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

British Museum

Can you take a peek at British Museum. I don't think that objects in the museum should be described as "famous". It is an empty term, the best way to declare an abject famous is to have its own article in Wikipedia. Take a peek and let me know what you think. You can see in the history I have been removing the term, but a group opposes me. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:AlienAntFarm.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AlienAntFarm.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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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.
