CCI stuff
For images, your best bet would be this one. It's more complicated, but there aren't too many to go through remaining, and it's one that should've been cleaned long ago. Wizardman 19:35, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for that. Also, I have found an issue with an image (it will probably be deleted once you find this), but TinEye isn't finding this image, even though it is still on the internet. Is this something you have noticed before, because it could be potentially problematic if it isn't finding everything. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:47, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Files missing description details
are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.
If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 16:09, 9 July 2013 (UTC)West Catholic Preparatory High School
Under the activity section of our page, it looks like you were the one who helped me change the name/move the page. However, the new page does not have that graphic on the right side with all the details of the school. Did that just completely disappear? Stanglerw327 (talk) 16:38, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- It seems you deleted the Infobox in this edit, which I have restored. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Coordinates
I see that you have added inaccurate but overly precise coordinates to more articles. Please confine the accuracy to the arcsecond. This is a long-standing consensus. Abductive (reasoning) 01:40, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I mainly add things in cities, and because of this, they kind of need to be overly accurate for a reason. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:38, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Please, there is no way that you could know that the Lac-Mégantic derailment occurred at exactly 45° 34′ 41.18″ N, 70° 53′ 10.86″ W. Reliable sources give a general map (example) which is what I used. You must follow the consensus at WP:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Abductive (reasoning) 03:01, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- I actually used an image on Flickr which showed the crash location, although smoke obscured the true location of it. Still though, I was only off by fifty feet, so it wasn't that bad of a mistake. The reason I was overly precise is that if I didn't hit the rails, it could have ended up having it away from the crash site, so that wouldn't have been good. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:34, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

I didn't submit it the first time, but the first submission was with a fouled up end ref tag so it didn't display the refs, so I wanted to make sure it was reviewed again with the refs visible. As for notability, that will have to be handled by the first author.Naraht (talk) 02:13, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the notification! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:15, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Articles for Creation: Docker
Thank you for taking the time to review my proposed article on Docker.io.
Docker.io is a relatively new open source project, which has attracted a great deal of attention. (It is consistenty among the top projects on GitHubm and has attracted over 6800 GitHub stars, is a featured topic at large numbers of open source conferences, etc.)
My article has been rejected for lack of sources. However, there are 8 sources cited for an article of less than 182 words. The article does not make any marketing claims about the project, but simply states the verifiable facts (e.g. date created, platform, etc.)
The sources include:
- a)An article in the Wall Street Journal
- b)An article in InfoQ, a technology publication
- c)An article in ZDnet, a technology publication
- d)Information from the Linux Foundation website, a large, well respected, non-profit organization
- e)Information from the OpenStack Foundation website, one of the largest and most prominent open source organizations.
- f)The GitHub repository for the project itself, which should be considered the definitive source of basic facts about most open source projects
- g)A corporate blog from Atlassian, a well known technology company
- h)A corporate blog from Puppet Labs, a well known technology company
None of these sources have a direct relationship with either the project or the companies supporting the project.
There are also some citations from respected technology bloggers, which I am happy to remove.
I am somewhat at a loss as to what to do next.
Thank you for your guidance. Golubbe (talk) 16:12, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sources do not equal notability, especially if they don't mention the topic in question in depth. Additionally, blogs are not reliable sources. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:47, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Fritz Alwin Breithaupt
Re: afc Fritz Alwin Breithaupt. Hi, I am curious as to what kind of material constitutes a reliable reference for an article about a living academic. I have included three book reviews, two institutional websites, a recent press release, and newspaper archives. I can't think of anything else to support the information included in the article - please advise. Thanks! Abaileyhamilton (talk) 17:16, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- This page would be a good place to start, as I didn't really see anything popping out that could fit that criteria. Good luck! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:47, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the tip. I have added a bit more information, and I think that Breithaupt definitely meets a few of the notability criteria listed on that page. 1. The linked review to Jenseits der Bilder shows, I think that his work has "made significant in [his] scholarly discipline." 2. The awarding of the prestigious Humboldt Grant seems to meet the second criterion. 5. Breithaupt was the distinguished Remak Scholar at Indiana University in 2009-10. 6. Breithaupt is currently chair of the Germanic Studies department and interim dean of the Hutton Honors College at Indiana University. 7. It's not really a substantial impact, but he is known outside of academia for his column in the German magazine ZEIT. Let me know if you think that is sufficient, as I do, or if I can change anything else in the article to make that information come through more clearly. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abaileyhamilton (talk • contribs) 15:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- It looks as good as it might get, so I would submit it to see what others think. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:14, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Pixar Theory, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Up and Brave (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

JETGO vs. JetGo
G'day from Oz; as far as I can find, there is still nothing indicating that JETGO is correct, other than Paul Bredereck's say-so - the airline's website still uses "JetGo" and the Australian Government business registration databases still show it as "Jetgo. What have you found to justify the page move? Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 06:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- The company has twice e-mailed OTRS asking that we fix it, and the last request was complied with as they sent along material confirming this. I see nothing wrong with doing this, as maybe their web team is behind in the times and they want to get it updated. I honestly don't care either way, and they seem to be offended by the idea that they're associated with the larger company, so I took that into account as well. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:29, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
- Righto, thanks. YSSYguy (talk) 06:52, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion declined: Ahladrama.
Hello, Ktr101. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ahladrama under criteria G3(Pure Vandalism), a page you tagged for speedy deletion. The reason for that was that the page is not pure vandalism. I used Google Translate to quickly translate the article which was written in arabic. I've tagged the article for speedy deletion under criterias G11 and A7 now. Thank you, ~XapApp(Talk·Contribs) 05:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the heads up. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Declined speedy
Hey, just letting you know that I declined the speedy on J.A. Redmerski. The sources (USA Today) and the assertion that she was a bestseller is *just* enough to where she'd squeak by on a speedy. That said, there isn't enough to assert notability per WP:AUTHOR from just what I saw on the article. I'll see if I can save it, but this looks like it'll probably be something best run through AfD. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:27, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Between that and people writing about "X was a best-seller on Amazon.com" with "best-seller" being a few thousand books in a week, I guess I was being hyper-vigilant, but thanks for the notification! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Eh, it's cool. I can honestly see where the confusion came from- I found that she was originally self-published and an Amazon "bestseller", but was re-published through another publisher and got onto the USA Today bestselling list. I'm also pretty dubious of people claiming bestseller status on Amazon since a lot of those tend to be in very specific categories (Bestseller> Romance > Aliens > Wearing Hats > On a Tuesday) or stem from people giving away e-books for free. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:42, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Lister technologies page review
Hi. Thanks for reviewing my page on Lister technologies. But I still see a notification on the page that it has not yet been reviewed. can you please do the needful so that the notification gets removed. Karthik (talk) 08:46, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I don't see what your issue is, as everything looks fine there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Declined speedy on Anthony Fucilla
I declined the speedy on him because it just barely and I mean BARELY passed because of the assertion of his books being in multiple libraries. I waffled, but the claim is just enough to save him from a speedy end. There are a few local sources, but not much. I honestly don't expect him to survive AfD. In any case, I wanted to let you know since you'd nominated him for a speedy. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:26, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm enjoying the IP reverting to a version that makes even less sense than what is there. Thanks again for the heads up, as I also commented on the deletion page. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 09:44, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah... I finally just felt bad for him and altered it to the version he wanted, while keeping the sources I'd added to the page. I think it probably would've been more humane to just turn a blind eye and speedy it. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:35, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm also fairly certain that the editor is the author himself, so I posted a warning. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
reinstating Kropotkins page?
Dear Kevin
I hope that we can reinstate the Kropotkins page.
RE third party confirmation of the interest (I was putting in on as it was deleted)
1. The group has been extant since 1994, and has 3 CDs available at all stores and online sources (ITunes, Amazon, Tower, etc)
2. I ran a playlist search yesterday on WFMU Radio, the foremost "alternative" station in the USA and found 330 plays.
3. There are articles on the group in the New York Times, Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, the New Yorker, etc. I can find urls and or send them if helpful in your decision.I put some quotes below.
4. Most of the members are well known and represented in other Wiki sites, including Maureen Tucker (Velvet Underground), Charlie Burnham, Dave Soldier (myself, granted), Jonathan Kane.
5. via Google there appear to be hundreds of blogs and other webpages about the group, so there is certainly interest about it.
with best wishes, and thanks for the consideration
Dave Sulzer
ds43@columbia.edu
Here are some 3rd party quotes:
The New Yorker: "OFF THE WALL. It takes a lot of guts (and a lot of brains) to try to imbue northern Mississippi fife-and-drum music with an anarchic spirit. The composer Dave Soldier, a neuroscientist, and the drummer Jonathan Kane, a downtown no-wave legend, perform as the Kropotkins, with an assist from, among others, the fine Mepmphis-based singer Lorette Velvette." (pick of the week, Feb 8, 2010)
"In 1994, inspired by the fife-and-drum blues of northern Mississippi and the bluegrass inventor Bill Monroe, the iconclastic downtown composer and scientist Dave Soldier (he's a professor of neurology at Columbia) fromed the Kropotkins, named after the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin. While the group is conentional by the standards of some of Soldier's other projects (he once created enroumous instruments for a group of Thai elephants to play), it can nonetheless seamlessly weave a Charles Ives cover into a set of soulful, if sometimes angular, country- or blues-tinged originals. Besides Soldier, who plays violin and banjo, the sextet includes the co-founder Jonathan Kane on snare drum, the Memphis-based singer Lorette Velvette, and the sweet-toned violinist and singer Charlie Burnham. For this performance they'll be celebrating the rlease of "Paradise Square", an engaging collection of new songs named for a vanished nineteenth-century park in lower Manhattan." (pick of the week, Feb 8, 2010)
"postmodern pre-blues" (R. Christgau, Village Voice)
Village Voice: "Kropotkins left decorous in the dust. Nothing with drummer Mo Tucker, the thundergoddess behind the Velvet Underground, could be described as decorous. Soldier's banjo suggests that the high lonesome sound is an overtone series generated by the open strings of the Delta bottom. Kropotkins find common ground between the non-Western tunings and African beats of the old blues and the barbaric harmonies of early minimalism. Velvette wows with an iron determination to get through at all costs. Reality TV? This is reality music, man, and we need more of it." - David Krasnow, 2001
Entertainment Weekly: "New York avant-gardist David Soldier and a cadre of experimentalists take apart the Mississippi Delta Blues and reassemble them into a jagged, slightly nightmarish soundscape. The core instruments are fiddle, banjo, and drums (plus Lorette Velvette's flat-affect vocals). You would expect so self-consciously arty an enterprise to reek of pretensiousness; instead, The Kropotkins is funky and listenable."
Time Out: "Any self-respecting fan of downtown music could tell you that a project involving drummer Jonathan Kane, multi-instrumentalist David Soldier and violinist Charlie Burnham is bound to be both intensely eclectic and a whole lot of fun. Formed in the early '90s and recently resurrected, the Kropotkins purvey a wild, fantastical blend that draws equally on postmodern Tom Waits-ian clatter and Mississippi fife-and-drum music." (February, 2010)
East Bay Express: "The Kropotkins could be considered an alt-rock/underground supergroup: it's made up of Lorette Velvette (the Hellcats, Tav Falco's Panther Burns); avant-classical violinist Dave Soldier (the Soldier String Quartet, Elliott Sharp, John Cale); Moe Tucker (Velvet Underground); Jonathan Kane (Swans); jazz violinist Charlie Burnham (James Blood Ulmer, Ronald Shannon Jackson); and guitarist Dog (drummer/composer Samm Bennett). The Kropotkins use the vocabulary of Delta blues, old Southern backcountry fife-&-drum music, and raw rock 'n' roll, which ends up sounding something like a skiffle group from hell or Leatherface's back-porch string band. Scratchy fiddle, yowling electric slide guitar, drums that alternately sound martial then harmolodic à la Ornette Coleman, percussion coming over the shortwave from Jamaica and West Africa, and the deadpan stray-cat vocals of Ms. Velette lead you through areas of New York and the rural South that you'll never see on a tourism commercial. The '77-era Mekons-like "Seconds Past Midnight" seems to chronicle the last hours (or an S/M session) of some schnook ("they brushed his hair and beat him tenderly/ that fool thought death didn't know his name"), and the stark, swampy, slithering blues that is "Junior's Groove" might make R.L. Burnside join the priesthood. Their music doesn't merely draw upon the blues tradition for its mojo -- it draws upon the African roots of the blues, without ever coming off as wannabe ethnomusicologists."
AllMusic: A stunning follow-up to their self-titled debut, the Kropotkins' Five Points Crawl probes the subconscious of a parallel American landscape littered with truck stops and roadside motels. Their unique sound mixes the instrumentation of an American Revolutionary militia band (fife, field drum, banjo, violin) fused with a punk-inspired and historical sense of the Mississippi Delta blues. An eclectic mix of veteran musicians and accomplished songwriters (Dave Soldier, Charlie Burnham, Dog) create an atmosphere of twang and trash while the extraordinary and subtle Memphis singer Lorette Velvette drawls out surreal and sultry vocals, backed up by the driving rhythmic energy of Moe Tucker and Johnathan Kane. Highly recommended. " -Zach Layton
Tiny Mix Tapes: "the music is always pretext. Pretext for Lorette Velvette and Samm Bennett, whose vocals, sung with tender or ironic tones, outline scenes from outdated places and times, sketching the timeless failings of their fellow man, taking part in the constitution and perpetuation of a specific idea in the American myth." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.111.4.117 (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not the only user to agree with that rationale, and the person who deleted it is also a respected user, and I didn't see anything notable about it when I Googled it yesterday. Sorry, but the band isn't notable. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Declined on Dyme-A-Duzin
I declined the speedy on Dyme-A-Duzin. The contract is just enough to assert enough notability for an article and he'd gotten at least one review on his stuff. It might not pass notability guidelines overall, so this would probably be better as an AfD. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

New England
Kevin, thanks for taking the initiative to organize the organizational meeting.
I don't know whether you accomplished what you wanted to accomplish, but I think we are on our way to form a user group, which can then, over time be taken to the chapter level if the user group is sufficiently successful.
Can you tell me who picked up the tab for lunch? (I now see that WM DC did) Our host (not using real name in case I shouldn't) Or was I supposed to chip in and missed it?
I just glanced at the online meeting notes. I kept my own notes, and thought I might add something. However, rather than add it to the etherpad site, I thought I would copy the notes as is to a subpage of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/2nd_Annual_Wikimedia_New_England_General_Meeting, then add my comments to that page, so that we could keep track of contributions. I don't want to do this if you were already planning on doing something else.Kevin, thanks for taking the initiative to organize the organizational meeting.

Oh and thanks for taking pictures, and uploading them. I brought my camera for that purpose, but forgot until we were breaking up, so your pictures are better.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:59, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

My action item list in the minutes is incomplete in two respects:
- In some cases, someone volunteered but I didn’t get the full name, for example, I think John agreed to help with the legal aspects, but there was more than one John, and I’m concerned I am misremembering, so I did not fill it in.
- I think some other items were agreed to but in the flurry of wrapping up, I may have missed them.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

The Unvisited App
Hi, this is the guy that takes a bunch of pictures for Massachusetts articles. And here's my secret... :)
I didn't get a chance to show it to you at the meeting, but I've written an app that finds articles with coordinates but that don't have pictures, and plans routes to get as many pictures as possible in a short time. It's still kind of a beta version, so I welcome feedback from anyone. I can also generate and email itineraries if anyone needs one.
I noticed you're in Barnstable. Here's an example of a trip the App planned in Barnstable that passes 11 photo opportunities on a 15 mile bike ride. Cape Cod still needs a lot of photos. Clicking the tour link pulls up a map of the tour on Google Maps.

Hello, Ktr101, and thank you for your contributions!
An article you worked on Marine Corps Air Facility Newport, appears to be directly copied from http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=5432. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.
It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Marine Corps Air Facility Newport if necessary.Template:Z120 MadmanBot (talk) 23:03, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Re: Bwmoll
To start, the Marine Corps Air Facility Walnut Ridge issue is a reverse copyvio. I can tell since the site you note mirrors the current state rather than his full additions, and it shows a submission of May this year. I'd have to look more closely at the article you had an issue with, but it looks like right now the Encyclopedia of Arkansas is just yanking out stuff without attribution. Wizardman 03:00, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's what I thought, but this page is from 2009, while the text was added in 2011. This version of the article from the date the source was archived shows that there is a huge difference in text, so that's why I became concerned. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hm, in that case that does appear to be a clear issue with the Newport one. An investigation might be needed if there's more to be found, though I have to admit I hope this is a one-off because he's got a lot of edits to look through. Wizardman 03:24, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, this would be an absolute nightmare to tackle. Walnut Ridge on that site dates back to 2007, and considering where the images on the Wiki pages are sourced to, it is a bit concerning. In terms of things that we could search for, I'm going to keep mining that page to see what else comes up, as it is a lot easier than going through all of those edits. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:36, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Here's another one that has text on Stuttgart Municipal Airport's page. Should we contact Brent about this, as he might be willing to help clean up this stuff and save us thousands of queries. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:42, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- I would try contacting him to see if he's willing first before going the CCI route; hopefully he is able to. (I just checked and he has over 100k mainspace edits! I really, really hope most are automated or minor...) Wizardman 18:25, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Deerfield Valley Transit Association

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Deerfield Valley Transit Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Deerfield Valley Transit Association

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Deerfield Valley Transit Association, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Sorry for the editing mishap. It was definitely not intentional. I have a Chrome extension, Simple Profanity Filter, which puts asterisks in place of profanity.

BHS Marching Band
Hello Kevin, my name is Brendan Clark, I am currently a Freshman Member of the BHS Red Raider Marching Band. The current director, David Schroeter has employed me to write a history of the band. Your extensive work already completed was an excellent help and I wanted to thank you for it. I am curious, how did you find out about the earliest periods. In order to do so, I had to go through the yearbooks in the main office. Anyway, I was curious if you knew anything else about the marching bands history, as well as if you had any artifacts. We are currently creating a collection for the school. Any help at all is appreciated. Kindest Regards, Brendan W. Clark

Article Feedback Tool update
Hey Ktr101. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 22:07, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Boston Globe, February 24, 2008.jpeg)
Thanks for uploading File:The Boston Globe, February 24, 2008.jpeg. 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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 19:15, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Middle Georgia Raceway
Hi. In this Wiki entry that you created, there is a sentence that begins: "A few years ago..." Unfortunately, that kind of wording is useless as time goes on, and the state-of-the-world regarding the raceway and the intentions of its owners has continued to evolve since you wrote that sentence. I was considering deleting both that sentence since it is too vague regarding the date, as well as the sentence following it because it is actually no longer relevant, but I thought I would ask you to do it instead. Thanks for considering it. Bmankin1 (talk) 16:29, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
if you might...
At the deletion discussion about the article The Pixar Theory, the topic seems to have met the GNG though a lot of (recent) coverage.... BUT my own research indicates the the base concept of "The Pixar Universe" has been recognized in media at least as early as 2003, making this later "theory" notable only in it making enough recent waves to be considered a "viral meme". Toward addressing the earlier concept, I began work on User:MichaelQSchmidt/The Pixar Universe, but upon further reflection, perhaps best that my little sourced article might best be folded into the main topic Pixar so that we'd have a suitable redirect target for The Pixar Theory? Think it worth doing? And would you care to assist? Thanks, Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Help test better mass message delivery
Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here: testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! --MZMcBride (talk) 05:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Please intervene
Hi Kevin, I see that you have added the course instructor right to the account of LeshedInstructor. I would appreciate it if you would have a look at this discussion on Meta-Wiki between myself and this "instructor" and intervene before this gets out of hand. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 21:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Kevin, thanks for your help. I am not sure why Augur is so angry with me. I don't even know what a Meta-Wiki is. I am just trying to have my students edit articles as part of a course project. Thank you. LeshedInstructor (talk) 00:52, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
- I have responded there accordingly. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:24, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Camp Bartlett, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 26th Division (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wiki-PR
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wiki-PR requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Oddbodz (talk) 17:39, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

The article Wiki-PR has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive 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.
