Yes, I do need help.

with the "The hudson utility coupe" article.

I'm sorry, we can't really help much unless you're a little more specific. What exactly about it do you need help with? sonia♫♪ 14:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
The hudson utility coupe could use some wikilinks and the subject at the start should be in '''bold'''; I'll do those things now, and other formatting; you'll see my edits in the page history soon.
To get more help with it, I suggest that you ask in requests for feedback. Best,  Chzz  ►  16:12, 14 July 2010 (UTC)


If you want to add some more images, there are some cool pics for "Hudson coupes" and "Hudson Car" on Commons. Shearonink (talk) 16:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Location of the "Move" button. Note that "TW" refers to a gadget called Twinkle that you may or may not have installed.
Regarding your question on my talk page, I have moved the page to Hudson Utility Coupe as you asked. As far as I can tell, you have the authority to rename a page (we call it "Moving" a page). To do so, locate the down arrow at the top of the page you would like to move, next to the links to Read and Edit the page. Hover over that arrow, and you should see a "Move" link. The picture to the right provides additional detail; this explanation assumes that you are using the default Vector skin. See also WP:MOVE.
If you ever need additional help, you can do one of the following:


The two B. Vance articles in Hudson Utility Coupe mentioned as being in LexisNexis/Academic Universe still need to be reliably-sourced, removing the dead Lexis-Nexis links won't be enough to bring up the References to WIkipedia standards. I am trying to get the information from someone who might have the actual original articles. Anyone with access to the LexisNexis database can look up the specific bibliographic information (especially publication name/place/page) on the two Hudson articles - "Hudson produced innovative light trucks"(September 14, 2000) and "A vehicle for gentlemen farmers:Ranchero was a pickup that was as luxurious as a car"(May 10, 2002).

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 05:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

School question

Hiya! I think the good people over at WP:SPI might be misinterpreting some usernames that have popped up; could you take a glance at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Leslie81285 please, and perhaps lend some insight? Looks to me like there are class projects at GA Southern U (how do you differentiate your initials from Georgia State?) and students have signed up with their class numbers as part of their usernames, leading to an assumption of sock puppetry. Thanks. --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

I've unblocked everyone. On behalf of our vandal-fighting community, I'd like to apologize for this misfire; there are a remarkable number of pests who delight in abusing Wikipedia, and in this case your students, through no fault of yours or theirs, were mistaken for miscreants. Wikipedia actually likes class projects, and perhaps you might find Wikipedia:School and university projects useful. At any rate, I hope no harm was done. Please let me know if you or your students are having any trouble doing what they need to do with Wikipedia; you can let me know here or on my talk page. --jpgordon::==( o ) 07:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
As the admin who made these blocks, i would like to apologize personally for this incident, since it was my own "Jump the gun" response that caused this entire situation to occur in the first place. I equally believe that i owe you an explanation as to what caused this: I tend to monitor the list of new users trough an automatically updating javascript script that shows the last 10 users names is a box on the left side of my screen. Normally this shows the occasional inappropriate name that merely attacks other editors or subjects, or an occasional set of accounts that appears to be extremely similar (I tend to write those down for later examination)
In this case however, my entire script was filled with apparently related user names, and even more were appearing by the minute. Due to the amount and the creation speed i initially believed some automatic process was creating a lot of accounts for some reason. Long story cut short, i went into "Defense mode" (if i may refer to it as such), and blocked all the accounts on the suspicion that they were being created for malicious purposes.
In retrospect it is quite clear that i overreacted, and i hope that this hasn't caused irreparable damage to your intention to use Wikipedia as a class project. As jpgordon mentions above, class projects are always appreciated as history taught that the results are often excellent. Besides the advice to have a look at the Wikipedia:School and university projects page (it is an excellent place to find some general information on school projects), I would equally advice that your students mark their user and talk pages with some information that they belong to a school project. Editors who see that a new account is editing constructively may be able to offer some advice or assistance, or they may simply wish to relay feedback (Or compliments :) ) regarding the school project.
Regardless, i give you my best wishes for this project, and i sincerely hope that the unfortunate start will not set the tone for the rest of the project. If you, or your students would have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. You can also use the Help desk, the {{helpme}} template or the IRC chat channel for assistance. Other editors will be happy to offer some assistance, and it may be a good way to reduce the reaching load of this course a little bit.
With kind regards, Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 21:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to User:Georgiasouthernlynn/test. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 18:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, now I'm signing my post. And I'm signing my post again. Please note this is my test page. You don't need to bitch at me about my test page. Please.

Welcome and introduction

Hi, Georgiasouthernlynn. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  16:12, 14 July 2010 (UTC)



  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

License tagging for File:AGateAttheStairs.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AGateAttheStairs.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

 Done! I added licensing information and a fair use rationale for this image. These steps are important to keep the image from being deleted; for better or worse the Wikipedia community is very sensitive to non-free images and tends to delete them rapidly if they do not have fair use rationales. If you click "edit" on the file page you can see what I did; Template:Book cover fur and Template:Non-free book cover do basically all the work and you just have to fill in a few fields on the book cover template. I also added the image to the book's infobox. Thanks for adding the image; additional pictures is in my opinion one of Wikipedia's greatest needs. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Need to create caption for Lives of Animals article

I've placed a photo of J.M.Coetzee on The Lives of Animals article, but cannot figure out how to create a caption. The caption needs to say: John Marks Coetzee is a Nobel Prize winner and a two-time winner of the Booker Award. Photo by Mariusz Kubik.

I fixed the caption. You left an extra | at the end of the image.--v/r - TP 21:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania Scholars

Dear Gerogiasouthernlynn,

I work on the Global Development team at Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation aims to promote Wikimania 2012 and encourage contributors to apply for scholarship opportunities for next year’s event. You have been selected as one of the people I'd like to feature in a short bio write-up because of the areas you've greatly contributed to the Wiki-ecosystem. Based on the survey you filled out agreeing to provide your insight on the experience, I drafted a short write-up from your submission. As mentioned on the survey, the goal of the bio is to make the scholarship selection process more transparent by providing examples of the types of candidates who have been selected in the past.

If you would be so kind as to:

1) confirm that we may feature your bio by emailing me at syap@wikimedia.org

We would only list your Username (not your full name).
Can you confirm that you have also participated in the Global Education Program?

2) Review your bio below and submit any edits to it

3) Confirm that it’s fine to post a picture with your bio

4) (Optional) share a photo with me (syap@wikimedia.org), personal or one taken at Wikimania (via Commons with the link) by November 24th, 2011 (Thursday), that would be great (the sooner the better). We really appreciate your contributions to the community and helping us make this a greater global resource!

Please review this, send your edits via email and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Could anybody link me directly to a page where I can put my university courses into the higher education program? I've participated before but am getting lost in the many, many pages that explain how to do it and cannot find the page that just lets me set up the course and enter into the program.--Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 14:54, 4 March 2013 (UTC)Thank you in advance for your help.--Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 14:54, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I found the page and am removing my request for help.--Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 15:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
For interest, which page did you find? I was looking for an answer to your question, and was about to suggest Outreach:Education and WP:Assignments for student editors; but I agree, from not enough advice a year or two ago, there now seems to be rather a lot. JohnCD (talk) 15:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
JohnCD, the place I recommend pointing people to now if they are interested in Wikipedia assignments is Wikipedia:Training/For educators. That's where we've been focusing on consolidating as much of the basic getting started info as possible.
Georgiasouthernlynn, I'll assign you the instructor userright right now. Sorry about the confusing workflow involved with the instructor right request and the feedback. If you could elaborate a bit on why you ended up at the feedback page twice, that would be helpful; you're the first person to go through the training since we switched around the flow a little bit and integrated to rights request into the main body of the training. So any ideas about what flow would have made sense for you would be appreciated. The idea is to have the instructor leave their request for the instructor right before continuing on to the end of the training to leave feedback (and an indication that they completed it).
In answer to the issue you posted in your feedback, the reason you didn't have the right already is because this term is the first one we've used this new system. Good luck!--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 15:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey--could somebody unblock the University of Pikeville IP address? My students in the global education program are not being allowed to create accounts. My courses are duly registered with the global education program and everything. Please unblock us. I'm going to copy this message as an unlogged in editor so that you can see what IP I'm talking about.--Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 16:54, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Can anybody figure out what my course token is? My students are being asked for it.--Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 17:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

It looks like that IP has hit the limit for account creation in a 24 hour period (6 accounts per day per IP). You'll need someone (with the account creator right) to manually create the accounts, if it's important to have them today. If it's not critical to get them done immediately, I suggest having students either create them at home (if they are not still on the same IP) or spread them out over several days.
You can see your edit token at the bottom of your course page. (It's visible to you since you're an instructor, and you can change it by editing your course page.)--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


Could anybody refer me to a B-class or better article on a festival--any festival. I have a student writing about Pikeville Kentucky's Hillbilly Days, and I'm having a little trouble figuring out how he should organize it and what bases to cover and in what proportion.

I just saw how good of an article Gone Girl (novel) is. I would suggest running it through a good article review.

File permission problem with File:Arjun Sen, ZenMango.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Arjun Sen, ZenMango.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

  • years
  • commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
  • common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This applies to infoboxes, too.

Disambiguation link notification for July 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Colin Goldberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wire-frame. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:53, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Terms of Use update

Hi Georgiasouthernlynn. Just as a quick heads up, the Terms of Use were changed on June 15 to require disclosure from anyone engaged in paid editing. There is room to move in regard to how this is done, as you can do so on the talk page, your user page, or in the edit summaries, but you are required to disclose the employer, client and affiliation. None of this means that there has been any change in whether or not people can edit Wikipedia when being paid - the extsiting COI guideline continues to apply - but the new update si to require transparency when doing so. - Bilby (talk) 01:47, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Adnan Chilwan.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Adnan Chilwan.jpg, which you've attributed to A VRT notice was applied over 60 day(s) ago, but no message at VRTS has been found since this tag was applied.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Hi Lynn

Isn't getting templated by the photo rights volunteers dreamy? One of my least enjoyable things about this place... Maybe the worst of all, actually...

Anyway, I have been in contact with User:Lmccullough in connection with the deletion debate over the WP biography about her, Laura McCullough. She is a poet and an English professor in NJ. I've been preaching the Wikipedia gospel to her and she seems interested in making contributions to poet biographies in the future. It is outside my normal area of subject interest, so I'm trying to find someone for her to communicate with. She's very busy with an immense workload and not able to start until fall, but I did want to see if I could hook her up with somebody in the Poetry Project and found your name. Would you be interested in getting in touch with her and helping her get going?

I've already cautioned her about the noxious photo rights situation. If I can be of assistance to you in that regard, drop me a line. (God, those people are annoying...) best, —Tim Davenport /// Carrite (talk) 18:33, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tim,

Thank you for getting in touch and for your confidence in me. I am interested in the poetry project, but I'm going to pass on working with Laura. While I sympathize with her point of view, I am, as far as possible, running away from Wikipedia dramas, and she appears to be running toward the drama.

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 Gleeble Systems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
