I really have no idea why you deleted these pictures, I made sure that the copyright said that these were my own images but still I was getting comments that they were not mine and I needed a copyright on them.

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.

And to you as well. :)

That was fun. Thank you. Happy 1st day of Winter to you too!

kevin wong beach volleyball wikipedia page

Mifter,

Hi. My name is Sherry Harper Wong. I'm Kevin's wife. I tried to update his Wikipedia page because there is information on there that was incorrect and it also doesn't tell his entire bio. I also unsuccessfully tried to upload photographs but have no idea how.

Please help me.

Thank you. Sherry

I am contesting a dispute about an image I uploaded.

I recently went into my account and found a note about an image I uploaded claiming a copyright dispute.

The image is Image:Pianist Jonathan Batiste by BenoitAubry of Ottawa.jpg

The message is as follows:"Thanks for uploading Image:Pianist Jonathan Batiste by BenoitAubry of Ottawa.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like

(to release all rights),

I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses:

You may select the license of your choice.

(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well."

This was in error since I do own the copyriight of this image since it's a photograph I took. Please go to this link to confirm. http://benoitaubry.deviantart.com/art/Pianist-Jonathan-Batiste-91428616 Feel free to visit the rest of my gallery on this site. Specifically, the "Music" folder.

Please rectify this error ASAP and return the entry as originally entered.

The 3rd Great Wikipedia Dramaout

Coming soon to a Wiki near you...The Third Great Wikipedia Dramaout will be July 5-9. Please join us for serious content creation! Signup is here. You have received this message because you participated in The Second Great Wikipedia Dramaout.

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

School Block should have expired

Hello, I am a student at Windom Area High School and my school was put on a block that was set to expire on April 16. This created problems with the layout on wikipedia because everything was formatted incorrectly and no pictures would appear on screens. As of today, the block has not expired. Can you tell me what is wrong? Please leave me a message on my actual user account User:Ryan Vesey. Thanks 66.172.163.2 (talk) 16:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter

Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.

This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Can you check this user?

User:HXL49 has made a personal attack on my talk page. He also appears to be arguing in his edit summaries. Finally his user talk page, specifically once you press edit, appears to attack (for lack of better words) all other users. Ryan Vesey (talk) 01:19, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

I am unsure why my page COMUNE Clothing has been deleted I feel that all references were cited correctly and content was extremely unbiased. I would like to write and article on this topic but feel it will continue to be deleted. the article i previously wrote on COMUNE clothing sourced 22 published sites in which gave me my information. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billyisbusiness (talk • contribs) 00:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Recent edit

About the recent edit, the only content was a redirect to itself, it should be deleted. -75.173.147.186 (talk) 21:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I just deleted the page, thanks for the heads up :). Best, Mifter (talk) 21:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing :) Glad I could help. -75.173.147.186 (talk) 21:38, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

What about this?

User:Shrug-shrug/Testdirect1. There seems to be a triple redirect, but it's a user page. How is this resolved without violating the user's rights? Do you just take it off of the list? -75.173.147.186 (talk) 21:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Per what I can see here I would say just to leave it. Best, Mifter (talk) 21:56, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Me again

Sorry to bother you with this, but who do I contact to clear the Double redirect page? -75.173.147.186 (talk) 22:41, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy and unable to get to a computer for a few days. The page is a special page which means that it isn't an editable page and it is generated by the MediaWiki software, so it is only cleared when the software updates the page which to my knowledge is daily it can't be updated before that time as it isn't a regular wiki page.

Section break for Anon editor

There is nothing wrong whatsoever with that edit I am speaking the truth and stop doing this stuff I bet fi I made an account you wouldn't care less about that edit 86.45.202.75 (talk) 14:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia, I appreciate your contributions and your efforts to improve the encyclopedia, but as an encyclopedia we have to be verifiable, and in order for us to ensure we are publishing reliable content and no origional research, we ask that you cite the sources from which you obtained the information. Also, you are welcome to continue editing without an account, but there are a number of benifits to creating one. If you have any more questions or would like help adding sources for your information feel free to ask me :). Best, Mifter (talk) 14:51, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Ernst Lindemann correction being over ruled

Hello

When I read the article about Ernst Lindemann I noticed a small error, I've corrected it twice and twice it has been reverted to a previous edit. I would like to know why? My edit is a contribution of positive value as I corrected an OBVIOUS mistake. The Bismarck and Prinz Eugen left Gotenhafen (now Gdynia), Poland on 18 May and stopped off at Bergan, Norway (where Prinz Eugen refuelled but the Bismarck did not), neither ship were based in Norway on Operation Rheinübung, they simply stopped off at Bergan and were not based there as it states in the overview of the article. Furthermore I have noticed that there are two articles referencing Operation Rheinübung which state two different days for the operations commencement The German battleship Bismarck article says "She and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen left Gotenhafen (Gdynia) on the morning of 19 May 1941 for Operation Rheinübung," while Operation Rheinübung article says "the "Lutjens' force left Gotenhafen (now Gdynia, Poland) on 18 May." I would correct the mistake myself but I am pretty sure someone who has no knowledge of the events in question would, in there misplaced wisdom, ignore my correction and revert the article to a previous state.

Thank you for your time Michael ‘The Dominatormaximus’
