Hi Tnbyrnes. For your information, I have nominated the above article and some related articles, [[Dayne Habbib]], [[Stever Farrer]] and [[Luke Fiveash]]. This is not because the articles are not of a good standard, they are well written and presented, but because the subjects of the articles do not meet established Wikipedia guidelines for inclusion. Please see the relevant guideline for athletes [[WP:BIO|here]]. The articles will now be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Persick]] and you are welcome to have your say there. I would like to encourage you to hang around, and if these articles are not kept, to work on building up the articles on [[Canberra Knights]] and [[Australian Ice Hockey League]]. -- [[User:Mattinbgn|Mattinbgn]]/<sup> [[User talk:Mattinbgn|talk]]</sup> 05:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |

Thought you'd be interested
By your userboxes I can see that you're a fan of the New Jersey Devils, so I figured you'd be interested in joining the New Jersey Devils task force, a task force of WikiProject Ice Hockey to improve New Jersey Devils-related articles. BsroiaadnTalk 19:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Tnbyrnes! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim
Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim

Image use policy
I'm not sure if you got a chance to actually view the image page after you uploaded the image. Here is what the page said the second after you hit upload/save:
So basically, if the permission you got from the band was just a permission to use the image on wikipedia, then that is not acceptable because Wikipedia freely licenses its content and therefore images with such stipulations are not accepted. What you are going to have to do is get the band to either license the image under a free license (such as GFDL, or CC or SA) or get them to release it into the public domain. After that, this has to be verified. There either needs to be an official website of theirs that states the images are licensed as such, or you need to get a WP:OTRS verification. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission is the place to find out more about that.
You do have another option. You can also try to find already freely licensed photos (flickr has the ability to search for photos based on their license). Unfortunately, though, wikipedia's image use policy (and specifically the non-free image use policy) generally forbids the use of non-freely licensed images of living people. Anyway, hope this helps. If you have specific questions, I'd be glad to try to help more. If not, good luck in your image quest.-Andrew c [talk] 01:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Theemptiness.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Theemptiness.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

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.

There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.
Did You Know? By Maxim
Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:
Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion. |
