License tagging for Image:Sb-2004-dt-002-600.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Sb-2004-dt-002-600.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:

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. 01:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:CourtStSq.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 22:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Duplicate images uploaded

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Sb3.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Sturgescentersanberdoo3.jpg. The copy called Image:Sturgescentersanberdoo3.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 22:59, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

House1090

edit

A tag has been placed on House1090, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking 20:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with House1090. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Hi! I was looking at your uploaded images, and noticed that you've been removing deletion tags without fixing the problems. You may not do that. I've reverted your removals, please add a VALID license and, if necessary, a non-free image use rationale.

Thanks for uploading Image:Chsb02.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹnoɟʇs 20:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Some reading material

edit

Welcome back House. I see some of your new entries have been reverted. To edit seriously on Wikipedia, and it sounds like you want to, I have some recommended reading material that can help you on the Downtown San Bernardino edit that was not referenced. First, read the policy on verifiability. That will give you a better understanding of the importance of references. You can review other policies later to gain a gradual knowledge of how Wikipedia works. When you gain an understanding of the core Wikipedia policies your edits will be less likely to be reverted. Best of luck, Alanraywiki (talk) 05:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art

edit

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Loves Art preparations

edit

Are you read for WLA this Saturday? Here are some last minute preparations you should do before you arrive.

  1. Be sure you have a spiral bound memo pad or notebook (and pen) to take notes and to use for writing the accession numbers, which you then have to photograph (see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art/LACMA rules for details).
  2. Be sure to print out the scavenger hunt list at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art/LACMA rules/list. You may also wish to visit http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=onview1 to make a plan of attack.
  3. Since tripods and monopods are not allowed in the museum, consider making a string tripod (not as good as the real thing, but better than nothing).

Additionally, we will plan to eat out afterwards at a nearby dining establishment (TBD) -- hope you can join us for that. And finally, I was able to make arrangements for my daughter so I will be able to attend after all. Looking forward to seeing you there! howcheng {chat} 19:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello House1090. Thank you for the invitation to join the IE project. I will try to add what I can when I have a chance. I am still a Wiki novice, and will be limited on the amount of time I can spend. I enjoy doing research. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to look into, and I'll let you know if I feel I am the right person for the job. I do have a number of historical books, mostly focused on Riverside. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 04:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Did you start with a standard template for metropolitan areas? I am wondering how to decide when information should be placed in an article for a specific city or county instead of the metropolitan area article. Is there a standard or guidelines to follow? It seems we could end up duplicating a lot of information, if we are not careful. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 15:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • Sorry ... I didn't mean to imply there is a template, I was just wondering if you started with one. I'm interested in how you know what to put in a city article vs. a regional article, but I guess I can figure it out as I go. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 01:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

As per the non-free content criteria, non-free images may only be used in the article space, not in templates. Further, the fact the template is used in so many articles means that a non-free image, which is basically decorative in nature, is used many times, which should be avoided.

Re:Administrator

edit

I've seen a few editors who've bounced back from a troubled past to have a successful RfA. I think Rootology (talk · contribs) is a good example. Typically, at WP:RFA, people like to see editors who have made a considerable number of edits (there's no bottom threshold per se, but I haven't seen an editor with less than 3000 edits pass RfA in the recent future) and have an excellent track record for article and administrator-related work. Some areas where you can get involved in administrator-related tasks include WP:AFD, WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, WP:CSD, etc. At the moment, I'd recommend you continue your article work and slowly involve yourself in the administrative side of Wikipedia to get a feel of things. You might want to go at it a few months and ask for a editor review to get the community's impressions of your contributions. Hope that helps.

September 2009

edit

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on San Bernardino County, California. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. emerson7 05:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Inland Empire Categories

edit

Hi House. The implication of leaving the Inland Empire in the San Bernardino and Riverside county categories is that it should be added to all lower categories such as all cities in the Inland Empire. That will be a lot of categories. I'm going to go ahead and leave the IE in those to categories, but it logically doesn't make sense to me. I believe that an article should be placed in a category that is a higher level. If we start placing articles in a lower level, then every article could end up with a huge number of categories. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 05:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Another example would be Southern California. Southern California is a region, just like the Inland Empire is a region, but I don't think it would be appropriate to put the Southern California category into every county that happens to be in Southern California. Taking it to next next level, it wouldn't make sense to put the California category into every county category in the state. MissionInn.Jim (talk)
Given that there are only two counties in the IE, I don't see it as a big issue, so I am fine leaving as is. FYI ... I was using the word region in a generic sense. I see IE as a region of Southern California, So Cal as a region of California, and California as a region of the US, etc... MissionInn.Jim (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Redirect of SanSan

edit

The edit summary asked that editors read the article talk page for the reason to redirect. SanSan is not a place, it is a word coined the same time and in the same 1967 publication as BosWash and ChiPitts. Please read the talk page just linked and also the discussion at Talk:BosWash#Intention to rewrite article. There is not only consensus but unanimous agreement that the article should be about the term and not a poorly sourced collection of original research about which places should be included in BosWash, what a map of BosWash looks like etc. The same holds true for the other two terms. The BosWash article is not about the Northeastern United States, it is about the terms BosWash, ChiPitts and SanSan. None of them are used to any degree outside of discussions of the paper written by Kahn and Wiener, and only BosWash even has a dictionary entry where it is listed as "informal", or nearly slang. None of these words really deserves an article other than the fact that they might be searched for by people reading about Kahn's paper, so they are all placed in the single BosWash article to clarify that they are not real places. The article that you restored is not viable as it misplaces the meaning of the word as a geographic location definable by maps and lists of component cities. It has unfortunately been in existence under those false pretenses since since 2005. You have only edited it starting a few months ago, so you may be under the impression that it was a normal, acceptable article. It was not. Again, please see the linked talk pages for further rationale and consensus over this issue regarding the three terms. It's not that SanSan has anything to do with the northeast but rather through its relationship with and origin with the other two now outdated terms. BosWash is the most prominent of the three words in that it actually has a dictionary entry and receives far more Google hits, so that is where the article about all three terms resides. I am reverting your reinstatement of the erroneous text. Sswonk (talk) 23:13, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I know you have been editing for over two years, I was talking about your editing the article, which this tool says you started four months ago. I am glad that as a project founder you agree with the move. Thanks – Sswonk (talk) 23:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Box Springs Mountain

edit

Hi House: For your consideration ... I see you changed the Riv-SB Metro reference in the Box Springs Mountain article to refer to the entire Riv-SB Metropolitan Area, i.e. both entire counties. In the case of this particular article, the reference really does only apply to the local urbanized area. The sentence is referring to the broadcast signals transmitted by the radio towers on the mountain. Those broadcast signals do not reach everywhere in both counties. (If you have a response, you can respond here and I will see it.) MissionInn.Jim (talk) 03:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think it may only transmit to the SB-Riv Urbanized area but the mountain in the Riv-SB-Ont Metropolitan Area, thats why I changed it. If its talking location it should as I made the change but if its talking but if its referring to the broadcast signals, they you are correct. House1090 (talk) 03:38, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Undoing my edits at Talk:Riverside and Talk:Palm Springs

For starters, the Riverside edit you undid had absolutely nothing to do with WikiProject Inland Empire. As you can see in the change page, it was solely Cali. Palm Springs was both, but I'd like to think that a Cali or SoCal project guy can interchangeably (after all, IE should be a part of WP:CAL, and you list Cali as being a "parent" of IE) Purplebackpack89 (talk) 16:29, 28 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please see my comments at that thread. I seriously considered blocking you, but ultimately I decided that the encyclopedia would be better served by requesting input from a broader spectrum of users and following whatever consensus develops. You seem to be passionate about the topic of IE and to have put in the research to be able to contribute productively; this is great - the region (MSA) is beautiful, and thanks in no small measure to your edits I now know considerably more about it. You do, however, have an apparent tendency to couch your edits to other articles in the context of someone who is interested in the Inland Empire. Please when you edit such articles have as your mindset: someone is interested in articleX, I can improve the part of this topic which bears on IE rather than the IE is cool and relates to articleX and everyone obviously wants to know more about IE using this article as a jumping off point. - 2/0 (cont.) 20:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I suggested a possible remedy to this including you limiting to a single revert per article at the WT:CAL discussion. The purpose of three revert rule is to set a clear limit, but edit warring can also include you reverting each other over several pages, which is more of a long term pattern than any specific single page, with three reverts per 24 hours. Even if you start the talk page discussion, it doesn't make reverting the other person ok. Remember in edit wars both parties are going to think theirs is the right version. The world isn't going to end if you leave their edits in place for another day while you wait for more people to respond. In the end the Inland Empire articles are going to better, with people more accurately informed, which is the whole point. -Optigan13 (talk) 10:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

San Diego metro in template

edit

Thanks for agreeing! We are having a heck of time with SD because of this confusion. It is congruent with the SD County article (would rather not resolve template to say that because it might cause confusion!) Our editors have either been slopping over to the Tijuana metro article which is fine when appropriate, but we have very little idea as to the validity etc of their statistics, so sharing a metro area with them (it does, blast it!) is quite confusing. Or just inserting it in the city article which is equally inappropriate. Anything you can think of to help editors resolve this at the higher level would be appreciated! There are a number of articles that refer to MSAs. I've become lost before wandering through them. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 00:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Good start! Allowing trusted editors to edit a piece in a sandbox is normalluy done only for controversial material. This isn't controversial. Just put {{stub}} at the bottom and move it to the correct name. Let us know under San Diego discussion when you have done this. Then all editors will develop it "in the open" with all other editors looking on. A very credible process. Student7 (talk) 13:40, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
It is your decision, but the longer you wait, with people "waiting" for it (which they weren't doing before!), the more likely someone is to stub it which just means it might have to be merged when you feel ready to publish it. BTW, here is my brilliant article on Huntsville Metropolitan Area. Nobody's whined yet!  :) 00:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Also, one of the most brilliant articles I started was a mere stub on something that I knew absolutely nothing about, but knew it "had" to be out there. After moving it, I put links in every other appropriate article I could think of. Geniuses found it and turned it into a magnificent article. Kind of like sewing a seed! Student7 (talk) 00:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Again, your decision unless someone else starts one first.
The people who are predestined to not like it won't like it if it is perfect. If it is eventually deleted, you may feel a lot better if you haven't put dozens of hours into it first. A stub is always acceptable for anything. I've never seen a stub that wasn't. For presidents, kings, Paris, France, anything. They all started out as stubs. Bios are different and sometimes have to have all qualifiers in them. The reason SD metro is less likely to be deleted than a smaller city - because it is recognized as important already. It's the importance of the article that is at stake here, not the quality of the content.Student7 (talk) 12:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reverts on Portal:Los Angeles and page moves

edit

Hi, I saw the latest round of edits on Portal:Los Angeles, and while it's a step in the right direction, there's still a few things you should consider.

  1. While you did go to Portal talk:Los Angeles/Other SoCal Metros after reverting, you still continued to revert. Once you found that User:SoCal L.A. wasn't responding, you should have tried a post to WT:CAL to get additional opinions on the material. He's new so a little patience in the matter will help things. The talk page posts seem to have gotten his attention though.
  2. When you suggest a page move which might be controversial please follow the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves, including applying {{subst:move|New name}} followed by a brief explanation and your signature. That allows it to be picked up by bots for all moves, and article alerts for relevant WikiProjects. Specifically I'm talking about Talk:Inland Empire (California) and if you are still considering something for Portal talk:Los Angeles/Other SoCal Metros.

Otherwise nothing worth escalating at this point. Please limit yourself to a single revert at a time, even if the user doesn't respond to talk page comments, and even if it is spread over two days. -Optigan13 (talk) 08:04, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Littleleaguewestsb.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Littleleaguewestsb.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

I noticed your edits on that page and i undid all of them. First of all it is a Cities sub page and thus doesn't need information about the metropolitan areas which you changed it to. You also added much duplicate information and added thumbs making the images much smaller. It is quite obvious that those pictures of cities are of those next to the cities. I modeled it after the SBFA cities sub page to which it correlates. It would be nice if you could start a discussion topic next time you want to make such a major edit.

Third Opinion

edit

Thanks for giving a third opinion on the Big Time Rush article! When you do give a third opinion, however, please make sure and remove that article from the third opinion page. I went ahead and did for you. Wikipediatoperfection (talk) 17:56, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Different topic, but still about a third opinion so I'll put my comments here. As Alanraywiki told you, he/she is not what Wikipedia considers a third opinion because they are involved in your article. A third opinion serves to give some outside perspective to the article. It's great that you have another editor who is involved giving an opinion, but the point is not to outnumber an opponent. The point is find consensus with a fellow editor who you disagree with. My outside perspective is to ask you, if the page stays with SoCal L.A.'s edits for a week while you guys work stuff out, who cares? And I would ask SoCal L.A. the same thing about keeping the article with your edits. As I said on the article's talk page, it's not like SoCal L.A. is a holocaust denier who has edited a page to say that Hitler was really a swell guy. You're discussing what to include in different articles about L.A. You can always request temporary page protection to stop an edit war. Just remember you're a part of that war. You both need to deescalate, stop treating the other person like they're the enemy, and work together. Wikipediatoperfection (talk) 01:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

My advice is to talk to SoCal L.A.. SoCal L.A. has add more stuff on the talk page, trying to make clear that he/she does not intend to leave mistakes in the article or have an edit war with you. Talk, talk, talk and assume good faith. SoCal L.A. is really not out to fight with you or have an edit war, but to make the article better.

Edit warring on Los Angeles metropolitan area

edit

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Los Angeles metropolitan area. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. -Optigan13 (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Another Gospel

edit

Hi House1090, thanks very much for providing a third opinion at Talk:Another Gospel. Could I ask you to be a bit more specific? What do you mean, are you saying Richwales (talk · contribs) should be encouraged to randomly add that tag to the article? Or are you recommending that he suggest sources to use to improve the article? Cirt (talk) 01:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please now see Talk:Another_Gospel#.28Over.3F.29using_a_single_source. Richwales (talk · contribs) refuses to stop making vague complaints without backing up his claims to alternative sources. Cirt (talk) 20:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I feel I am being characterized unfairly here. I am attempting, in good faith, to improve the article. I do not believe I am misusing the article's talk page as a general discussion forum. I do not believe I am making vague, groundless complaints in violation of policy. The fact that I have requested additional sources, or that it's taking me some time to find additional sources of my own, does not mean that I am ignoring your "third opinion" or that I'm intentionally abusing the talk page. (You did, after all, propose that I be given two weeks to come up with sources — and it hasn't even been half a day yet, and I'm already being stomped on.) I feel intimidated by Cirt's dismissive responses and what I am perceiving as attacks and even threats against my good standing as a Wikipedia editor. I really don't want to make a huge case over this, but I feel I'm being backed into a corner and am being forced to defend my position (in some appropriate forum). I need assistance from a neutral third party who is willing to see that the right thing gets done. What actions would you recommend I take at this point?

Multiple signatures

edit

Torritorri brought it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California, but I noticed it too and am wondering why you are using more than one signature. Usually you use House1090 and sometimes you use Salcan. This is especially disconcerting when there is a discussion thread and it looks like two different people want to retain the IE project, when in fact it is the same person. Any special reason for this change? Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 21:30, 6 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Not really I was experimenting with it last night as you can see on my signatures page and I guess I forgot to change it. Sorry, and I was in a hurry this morning, I didn't mean to make it seem as if there were two people, I will change it back. User:House1090 (talk) 23:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Can you keep your signature pretty close to House1090 given your past issues with multiple accounts. Also when you add additional comments to an AFD you've already expressed delete, keep, etc. don't add another Delete in response to someone else. So please just strike through the delete/merge and go with something like Delete/MergeComment. Admins will discount double deletes like that anyway, but it helps clean it up. -Optigan13 (talk) 04:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
You're free to make additional comments and discuss delete, etc with people, just that the nomination statement is an implied Delete so no need to add that part to any further comments you make. Just strike through the delete/merge not the comments that follow it. -Optigan13 (talk) 06:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just checking in

edit

Hi, saw your revert on the CSU LA page and how you followed up with the editor right away, which was great. The only other recommendation I would make is to maybe consider leaving the notice on the article talk, and not directed at any one editor. Glad to see you bounce back from the block and get back into work. The thing to take away from that encounter is once you've done the revert and seen it go back in to just post to the article talk page and say why you want x removed/added. That way you don't get stuck trying to explain why in heated little edit summaries and a back and forth between you and one other editor. When you post to the talk page it tends to open up in people explaining why, as well as having multiple editors involved so it isn't necessarily a 1 on 1 situation. Do you have any questions or concerns lately? -Optigan13 (talk) 11:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Okay thanks. I am currently working on expanding and getting the California State University, San Bernardino article into FA status eventually, but first into GA status. Any recommendations on how to do it so other editors wont suspect anything wrong. I'm using my sandbox and creating sections there, and once they are complete I'm adding them to the article. I wrote about on the talk page about expansion and I left a "construction notice" on the the top of the article. Do you think thats enough? I am following the model of University of California, Riverside and a link Alanraywiki gave me on his talk page. House1090 (talk) 21:31, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
What do you mean by "wrong", anything specific? I think the under construction tag is largely for when things might be out of place temporarily, or other formatting or cleanup issues while you work through it. I haven't take a serious look at it yet, but for now just work on it with Alanraywiki as you've been. Let me know when you get to a nice stopping point and if you want me to take a look through it. -Optigan13 (talk) 08:48, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Wrong as in anything suspicious, removing or adding stuff. I will let you know in a couple of weeks, as I think Alanraywiki and I are so far doing a good job. House1090 (talk) 23:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:66ers-acup.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:66ers-acup.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:66ers-acup.jpg.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:66ers-acup.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:66ers-acup.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Solid State Survivor (talk) 00:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Greetings House1090 --

I noticed that you have been very helpful on improving pages related to the Inland Empire, so I wanted to let you know that I created a new page for Norco College. Norco College is still part of the Riverside Community College District, but is now a fully-accredited 2-year college, not a satellite campus of Riverside City College.

This is my first attempt at anything more than fairly minor Wikipedia edits, so (if you have time) I wanted to invite you (and any other experienced Wikipedians with an interest in the IE) to have a look and make/suggest any corrections/improvements. I did try to get up to speed with the Wikipedia documentation before starting this project, but would be glad for any tips/advice/corrections.

Many Thanks! Jcoverdale (talk) 22:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I would love to help, I'll take a look at the article and let you know of any recommendations. Happy editing, House1090 (talk) 07:42, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Cut-and-paste move

Just letting you know that I am tagging World Trade Center San Salvador and Talk:World Trade Center San Salvador to have their edit histories merged, because it seems you did cut-and-paste moves from Torre Futura and Talk:Torre Futura.

St Ana's Cathedral

edit

The article Gothic architecture is about genuine medieval Gothic architecture. It isn't about Gothic Revival architecture. In other words, it begins in the 1100s and finishes in the 1500s and doesn't include 19th and 20th century revival architecture.

I also want to point out that just because there is a space, it doesn't mean that it has to be filled with a pic. The layout of many articles (on art and architecture) has been very carefully arranged so that the pics tell part of the story in a consistent way. At the top of that article there two photos. They are the same part of the same building viewed from inside and outside, in order that they can be compared. Anyone who is reading the article carefully is going to get down to the third picture, which is unrelated and of entirely different scale and think "What is the message here?" The key to effective editing is to look and read before adding, so as to know whether your edit is appropriate to the place, the paragraph or the particular article.

What Flickr source? You first uploaded this image as File:First Family of El Salvador (Funes).png; it was deleted as an obvious copyright violation; then you re-uploaded it here as File:Primera familia de El Salvador.png. You claimed it was your "own work". That was a lie. How could a lie be an "honest mistake"? And what do you mean by "it did not"? It did not do what? Fut.Perf. 08:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I also found the image on flickr after looking for it. And what I meant was that I clicked on the upload flickr link but it took me else where apparently and it did not work. I'm sorry it wasn't supposed to be a problem. The picture is a government picture by the way so does that not make it eligible to be on wikipedia? Like I said this was not intended, this is the first time in over 4 years I have been blocked but wikipedia has change the upload form so I was confused. None of my edits are pro-problem, and I'm just trying to improve the El Salvador article so I needed a picture of the president. Thanks, House1090 (talk) 08:33, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Several things. (a) The image isn't a government picture, but credited to AFP, a commercial news agency [6]. (b) No, even if it were a government work, government works are not automatically freely licensed. (c) If you found it on Flickr, then why didn't you just name Flickr as its source? And why aren't you giving me the link to the Flickr source now? (Please do.) (d) Flickr sources can also sometimes be deceptive, as many people upload copyright violations there too, so we'd have to check this one; it's likely unreliable. (e) After your extensive history of warnings for bad image uploads, what on earth made you think it was okay to simply put an "own work" tag in when it wasn't your own work? Fut.Perf. 08:39, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
I told you already (see previous responses) that I did click on the flickr link but for some reason it directed me to the own image page but I did not notice until it was done. I don't know if I can delete or "take back an image" on wikipedia. I first tried it on wikicommons but it didn't work either as I could not find the flickr license. This got way out of hand. Second of all, the only problems I had with images were back, way back again, four years ago! I've come a long way. Thanks for clarifying the government images part, I appreciate it. Now the link is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39818035@N05/6889882945/ . Thanks again for looking at my case, I appreciate it! House1090 (talk) 08:45, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Español" de El Salvador (Castellano-Español.jpg)

edit

Hi, I just saw the map on the use of "español" or "castellano" to denote the Spanish language region by region, and I just wanted to mention that in El Salvador the majority's usage is by far "español" and not "castellano", pursuing to your edit from October 10th, 2011 where you changed El Salvador to a "castellano" country.

It's true that the constitution in its 62th article declares the official language is "castellano", but as a native from the country I can assure you this is not what people normally use. I'd suggest to change the map, and return it to its previous state with El Salvador marked as an "español" country.--Serafín33 (talk) 04:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

We're going by official usage and funny because I'm a native and we use castellano in school and everything. House1090 (talk) 06:28, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
We're not going by official usage, some of the countries on that map don't even mention having an official language. What are you a native of? Are you from El Salvador? You don't even list Spanish as one of the langauges you speak... I'm from El Salvador, and I almost never see or hear references to the language as "castellano", I've barely seen that name in some agendas (published in other countries).--Serafín33 (talk) 19:36, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Edits in Voseo

edit

Hi. I've been seeing what you have been doing in the article Voseo. I've been reverting your edits because the sources in the article (specially from Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Doubts) states that it coexists with tuteo (in a three-tiered system: usted, , vos), unlike Nicaragua and Costa Rica where tuteo doesn´t exist is spoken language, but in written. Even the sources that you have put in the article, also states that too.

  • First source:

En el cuestionario se pedía seleccionar entre oraciones con el verbo terminado en −ste or −stes, para determinar cuál de las dos formas se utilizaba más el informante. Los resultados muestran que la forma con la desinencia −ste es la que se emplea con más frecuencia, ya que el 70% de los informantes escogió esta terminación, mientras que sólo el 30% escogió la desinencia −stes.
Estos porcentajes sugieren que en el pretérito indefinido predomina el uso de las formas verbales correspondientes a .
(...) En el sunjuntivo se nota la misma tendencia que se da en el pretérito indefinido, ya que las formas de segunda persona del singular se emplean con mayor frecuencia (60%) que las formas correspondientes a vos (40%).

— El Voseo en El Salvador Pages 84-85

5.3.9 Intensidad de uso de vos, y usted

Para saber cúal es la forma que se emplea para el trato de confianza, se preguntó el pronombre que el informante empleaba para dirigirse a sus hermanos y amigos. Los resultados muestran que el uso del pronombre vos es el más frecuente. Además se preguntó con cuál pronombre se sentía más cómodo el informante y al comparar los porcentajes, se puede constatar que el predominio de la forma vos, según se detalla a continuación:
...................... tú ......... vos .......... usted
amigos................ 20% ........ 51% ........... 29%
hermanos.............. 16% ........ 70% ........... 11%
se siente más
cómodo usando......... 20% ........ 38% ........... 39%

Los datos antes mencionados presentan evidencia de la coexistencia del tuteo y voseo como pronombres de confianza, lo cual coincide con lo que se ha informado en estudios anteriores (Páez 80, Lipski Central 111).

En las escuelas se enseña la conjugación con el pronombre y las formas verbales correspondientes. Esto puede verse en el libro Idioma nacional de Ana María Nafría, que se utiliza para la enseñanza del tercer ciclo (7° a 9° grado), en el que aparecen oraciones como: "Dime Berta, ¿es verdad que aprobaste?", "Tú estudias computación." (144), "Tú te bañas." (147). La información que aparece sobre el voseo no ofrece una opinión negativa, pero tampoco menciona que es la forma que más se emplea en El Salvador.
(...)
Los profesores en general, no hacen mención del uso de vos, pues se sobreentiende que este pronombre se emplea solamente en el habla informal. Debido a esto, cuando se explica la gramática se pone énfasis en el uso de los pronombres y usted.

— El Voseo en El Salvador Pages 100-101

5.6 Valoración social de vos
(...)

a) vos indica familiaridad........... 74%
b) vos es elegante................... 17%

vos no es elegante................ 77%

c) vos es cariñoso................... 49%

vos no es cariñoso................ 45%

d) el uso de vos debería:

enseñarse en las escuelas......... 10%
eliminarse........................ 15%
usarse solo en casa y con amigos.. 69%

e) tiene prestigio el uso de vos..... 23%

el uso de vos no tiene prestigio.. 61%
impreciso/imprecisa............... 16%
usarse solo en casa y con amigos.. 69%

(...)

Al analizar los resultados de las preguntas, se puede llegar a la conclusión de que el uso de vos no tiene un prestigio manifiesto. Así lo indica el 61% de los informantes, quienes no consideran el vos como un trato prestigioso, ya que después de usted, es el trato que se percibe como la forma más educada (72%). Estos resultados concuerdan con la investigación de Lipski, quien informa: "...there has traditionally been a learned reaction against the voseo, which has been considered vulgar, plebian, antiliterary..." (Central 103)

— El Voseo en El Salvador Pages 102, 103

La información obtenida en la encuesta, permitió investigar preliminarmente todos los objetivos que se habían figado y los resultados se resumen a continación:

a) Vos es el pronombre que se emplea con mayor intensidad para el trato de confianza entre familiares y amigos.
b) Todavía existe el uso de las formas habés y habís del verbo haber.
c) Las formas del furturo de desinencia −és parecen estar desapareciendo del habla salvadoreña.
d) Existe el uso del tuteo en El Salvador, lo cual es evidente en las formas verbales del futuro del indicativo, en las del presente del subjuntivo, y en las formas pronominales de término de complemento. Los resultados muestran que existe el uso frecuente de usted incluso para el trato de confianza y que después de vos, el pronombre que se emplea más es usted.
e) Los factores edad y género influyen en la selección de los pronombres, pero el nivel educativo no parece influir en la selección de la forma pronominal.

f) En cuanto a la valoración social, vos no parece gozar de un prestigio manifiesto, pero tiene aceptación como una costumbre propia del país.

— El Voseo en El Salvador Pages 105-106

Por nuestra parte, hemos comprobado la preponderancia que tiene el uso de vos para el trato de confianza en El Salvador, la existencia del tuteo y la tendencia que existe en el país al uso frecuente del pronombre usted.

  • Second source:

This source is a study about Honduran and Salvadorian people in Western U.S. from first to third generations, but it also states that tuteo occurs (in a lesser way, but it occurs) in the spoken Spanish language of the Salvadorian people studied.

In spite of these findings, as Lipski (1988) states, vos remains the pronoun of maximum familiarity and solidarity, while usted expresses distance and respect. Tú, when used, corresponds to an intermediate level, expressing familiarity, but not confianza or deep trust. This is confirmed by Kapovic (2007:80) who states that el tuteo salvadoreño “significa amistad pero sin la confianza que requiere el vos.”
(...)
Benavides (1993), Castro (2000), Lipski (2000), Micheau (1991) y Ridenour (2004) point out that the phenomenon of the voseo that is observed in Central America and to a certain extent in the United States can be organized as a three-tiered system, as proposed by Pinkerton (1986) and Baumel-Schreffler (1995), in which tú serves as an intermediate step between vos and usted. Castro (2000:20-71) elaborates on this concept of a three-tiered system by categorizing the basic uses of each pronoun in Honduras as follows:


VOS........................... TÚ............................ USTED
1. Vos of solidarity....... As written form of vos......... Usted of distance
2. Vos of confianza........ of sophistication....... Usted of respect
3. Vos of undue confianza.. as intermediate......... Usted to difer social class
4. Vos of offense.......... of acommodation......... Usted of deference
5. Vos of agression........ of hypercorrection...... Usted of sarcasm
6. Vos of anger............................................ Usted of anger
7. Vos of intimacy......................................... Usted of intimacy
8. Vos derogatory.......................................... Usted of cariño
9. Vos impersonal manner................................... Usted of persuasion

Many of these uses have been confirmed for Salvadoran Spanish as well (e.g., Hernández 2002, 2009), and are observed in some of the findings for the present study.

  • Third source:

El voseo en El Salvador
Empecemos con el aspecto morfosintáctico más significativo, el empleo de los pronombres

personales de segunda persona singular (Baumel-Schreffler 1989, 1994, 1995; Castro-Mitchell 1991; Gaínza 1976; Lipski 1986c, 1989b; Pinkerton 1986; Rey 1994, ms.; Solano 1986; Vargas 1974; Villegas 1965 para Centroamérica; Lambert y Tucker 1976, Brown y Gilman 1960 para casos generales). El Salvador, igual que los demás países centroamericanos, es una nación eminentemente voseante, es decir que se prefiere el empleo del pronombre vos (y las formas verbales correspondientes) frente al tú que aparece como único ocupante del paradigma pronominal de segunda

persona singular en los manuales de gramática. A diferencia de algunos otros dialectos centroamericanos, el habla salvadoreña presenta un sistema pronominal que da cabida a los tres pronombres singulares del castellano: tú, vos y usted.

La situación de los pronombres personales en El Salvador es más matizada, pues además de la

dicotomía pan-centroamericana vos-usted, existen casos de tuteo interno, es decir entre interlocutores salvadoreños sin pretensiones extranjerizantes (Baumel-Schreffler 1989, 1994; Lipski 1986c, 1989b). Algunos salvadoreños--pero no todos--aceptan el empleo ocasional de tú como variante intermedia: significa amistad pero sin el grado de confianza que requiere el voseo. Este trato tridimensional se encuentra sobre todo entre los individuos de mayor preparación escolar, pero se puede afirmar que el uso esporádico de tú no es tan ajeno a las normas salvadoreñas como el mismo pronombre en territorio nicaragüense. Kany (1969: 114) nota que `El Salvador no constituye excepción en lo referente al voseo popular. De hecho, el voseo está allí enormemente extendido en la conversación familiar. Menos general que en Argentina, su uso (no sus formas) es tal vez más comparable con el de Chile. En las clases altas se usa ocasionalmente "de una manera velada," si bien el uso social educado impone el tú. Kany (1969: 116) también observa la alternancia de formas propias de tú y vos en el habla salvadoreña popular. Páez Urdaneta (1981: 79-80) afirma que `Nacionalmente, el tuteo ... es raro ... En comparación con Guatemala y Nicaragua y Costa Rica, El Salvador y Honduras presentan

cierto tuteo verbal que sin ser intenso no deja de ser algo evidente. En el trato familiar, vos es "universal" ... el voseo es intenso en cada una de las clases sociales salvadoreñas.

    • Royal Spanish Academy : Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Doubts

2.3.5. América Central
a) En Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua y Costa Rica, el voseo es un fenómeno general en todas las clases sociales. A excepción de Costa Rica, donde el tuteo connota pedantería, en el resto de los países citados las clases escolarizadas suelen utilizar un sistema ternario, en el que vos es el tratamiento familiar o de confianza, tú el tratamiento de formalidad intermedia y usted el tratamiento más formal. La modalidad más generalizada es la de voseo pronominal y verbal de tipo rioplatense, con algunas alteraciones —como las terminaciones en -rés del futuro en Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras (v. cuadro) o el tuteo pronominal frecuente en Guatemala—.

Thanks for using the talk page, the source states it is used more than in guatemala and honduras, plus it states usted and vos is used more than tuteo. El SAlvador is in between . House1090 (talk) 03:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Mandurah and Australian English spelling

edit

Hi House1090. As a courtesy, I am letting you know I reverted this edit of yours on the article about Mandurah. Your edit, while in good faith, was not in keeping with Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English which states that "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the English of that nation." Mandurah, of course, is an article on an Australian topic and therefore should use Australian English spelling. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Spelling provides some guidance about the differences in spelling in different national varieties of English. Cheers, Mattinbgn (talk) 02:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Moving pages

edit

Hi House, please don't move pages in ways that reverse consensual RMs unless it's been discussed in a new RM. Any such moves should be treated as controversial and discussed on the article's talk page, per WP:RM. I was confused to see you supporting the move of Devore, San Bernardino, California to Devore, California in July 2010 just to see you move it the other way in December 2011. If you made some discovery that changed your mind, a notice on the talk page would have been a courteous minimum, but the move really should've been discussed. --BDD (talk) 17:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

sbX cut/paste move

edit

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give San Bernardino Express a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into San Bernardino Express (sbX). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of José Belarmino Jaime

edit

The article José Belarmino Jaime has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. -- Patchy1 REF THIS BLP 08:04, 11 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to 2015 San Bernardino shooting, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:09, 4 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

San Bernardino

edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on San Bernardino, California. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
It's BRD, not BDR. There are people's names in your edit. Default on contested material containing names of living people is out until a consensus is reached. Even if only I disagree with you, which is not the case as one other editor publicly thanked me for my revert, you do not have consensus. I will open the discussion for you as you seem to think it is below you or that no one has the right to dare go against your desire on this article. Further replacement of this without discussion will earn you a trip to a noticeboard. Oh and for Petes sake archive your talk page. No one should have to wade through 10 years of your crap to leave you a message. John from Idegon (talk) 08:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:35, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

edit

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile!

2019 US Banknote Contest

edit
US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
