Welcome

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. Cheers! --maveric149

Hey Absecon, just wanted to let you know you're doing a kick-ass job. Keep up the good work. DanKeshet

Er, these "X v. Y" articles don't contain any information (except for the judge, sometimes). I hope you'll fill them up with some data? Otherwise, they're pretty useless... --Magnus Manske 19:17 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

Greetings! Long time not getting around to talking... Sorry about not filling up the pages on Supreme Court Cases so fast... will do soon. Thanks for the support, guys... I'll be hanging around. I fill them in once I get some information on them, and it's a piecemeal job while I myself learn about the cases. The fact is, there just isn't much anyone's doing on the Supreme Court Cases themselves, and the area needs some bolstering. So I figured I'd kick in whatever I can. --Absecon 59

Can I ask you to rethink your year in sports pages. The use of the word sports like this is never used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and much of the English speaking word. It's an American thing. We talk about sport rather than sports. Mintguy

Hello. I made a minor change on Brown v. Board of Education, where it was in my view innacurate. I discussed the point on the talk page. As you are the main author of the page, I leave a message so that you may check. Could you please tell me whether I am right? Feel free to write in english here (my talk page on fr wikipedia)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Images

Hi Absecon. I notice you've uploaded a bunch of images. Thanks! You need to provide more information about them, though. For example, you need to indicate where you got each image (if you made it yourself, say how! Scanner? Or what type of camera?). Also, you need to add a copyright tag ({{GFDL-self}} for images you made). Please drop a note at my talk page if you have any questions. dbenbenn | talk 20:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Image:1851-O GD.jpg

Thanks for adding the GFDL information to the above images. Would it be possible for you to use the tags listed at Wikipedia:Copyright tags, as I have now done on the upload page. Pages which do not employ one of these specific tags get included in a project tpo tag untagged images ... writing out the GFDL in full, as you did, would mean that your image gets caught up in that project, leading to unnecessary additional work. Check out the implementation of the tag in the text of the page by looking at it in edit mode, should you be uncertain how it all works. Thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Image deletion

The images I listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion are not used on the New Orleans Mint Page. The same images with different file names are on the Mint page. Check closely. You have uploaded duplicate images with different file names.

Some of the pictures used on the Mint page still have no source. Please correct this or they may be deleted in the future. Always tag images when you upload them. Thanks. Nv8200p 16:40, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:MississippiStateCapitol.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MississippiStateCapitol.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 16:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:BaileyMagnet.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:BaileyMagnet.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page to provide the necessary information on the source or licensing of this image (if you have any), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Ytny 22:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

For your fair use rationale, you wrote, "as a work of art, it is available for fair use under the accompanying license", but that only applies in articles that actually discusses the article itself, not the way you're using the image in Jackson, Mississippi. And there is nothing to indicate that the copyright owner has given permission for use (there's probably a copyright notice on the back of the postcard). Ytny 22:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, on Image:MississippiStateCapitol.jpg, you do not own the copyright to a postcard. It belongs to the publisher or the photographer of the postcard and fair use applies only when discussing the postcard itself, not what's pictured on the postcard. Cheers. Ytny 23:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:People with handlebar moustaches

Isn't rather trivial and unencyclopedic? I am minded to put it up if WP:CFD, but thought that I should first ask whether you might have an explanation of why you think it's worth including. --BrownHairedGirl 14:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Many people are identifiable by their distinctive facial features, including handlebar moustaches, in much the same way that people are identified by the fact that they are from, for example, a particular U.S. State. I mean, the fact that Rollie Fingers has a handlebar moustache is, in my opinion, no less important than listing the fact that he's in the category for Major league baseball players from Ohio. We can say in both instances "who cares?" but, this being an encyclopedia, I think part of the point of creating such categories is to identify the similarities people/things share with others. Absecon 59 04:02, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I will admit, it does seem rather trivial, but I love it, i say keep it, and create more on different types of moustaches maybe, i'd like to see a list of people with a Fu Manchu. or maybe even do one on mullets, I would like to find out how many famous people actually have mullets.

Keep up the good work --Jadger 23:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:2ndBankofUSSouthFacade.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:2ndBankofUSSouthFacade.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:1950 MS LP.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:1950 MS LP.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

License tagging for Image:PennText6.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PennText6.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Meridian, Mississippi

Hi Absecon. I'm not sure if you're still active, but I have a question. I've been working on the Meridian, Mississippi article for the past year or so, and I'm working towards getting it to FA status. This was ages ago (nearly 4 years), but you added some information about Media and Publishing in this edit, and I was wondering if by some amazingly awesome memory you remembered where you got it from? I live in Meridian, and the only newspaper I know of is the Meridian Star. I've never heard of ANY of the others that you added (which btw have stayed there ever since). Also, I was wondering if maybe you knew of a source that I could get information like this from. This section is the only one left that I have yet to expand, so it would be of great help if you could contribute! Thanks for your time! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 02:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow.. Duh haha. I've looked all over that site for a lot of information, but I didn't even think to look there for media information. The city's website only lists the Meridian Star and the East MS Business Journal, but I tried calling the EMBJ, and their phone number is not in operation. Also, their website is no longer active, so I think the journal is out of business. Also, there are several other errors on the city website such as listing the radio stations affiliated with "The Radio People" under the wrong section, so I'm not sure how recent the information is. Thanks for the suggestion, though! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 04:15, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:58, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge

Richard Montfort moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Richard Montfort, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jan Springer

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 Jan Springer, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "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 deleted 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. --Nahal^(T) 11:42, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Though I am not the admin who deleted this, I apologize on behalf of WP for this deletion, and I am glad that you persisted. to avoid this sort of erroneous deletion of an incomplete article , the best course is to add a tag reading {{underconstruction}} to the top of an article.
