Thanks for adding the picture to the [[Worcester, Massachusetts]] article.  It's an excellent addition.  I expanded the caption to identify the building as City Hall, based on my memory and your edit summary. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 15:28, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I added one sentence on [[Lake Quinsigamond]] to the Worcester article, and someone else did a stub on the lake, but you've now written a magnificent article on it.  Naturally, I couldn't resist editing it a little, but I didn't find any significant problems.  Well done! [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 06:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting the Lake Quinsig article after me.  I can't believe that I left so many mistakes in the article; its embarassing, really.  Ah well, I suppose such things happen when you're editing late at night whilst half-asleep : ).  I put a lot of research into that article, and I'm really proud at how it turned out.  Thanks again!  [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]] 01:53, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

:The effort you put into researching the article certainly showed.  As for the typos, etc., I find that, as a general rule, even someone who's wide awake is ill-suited to proofread copy that he or she has written.  The author knows what's supposed to be there, and human beings tend to see what they expect to see.  That's one virtue of the "many eyeballs" on Wikipedia.  I was honored to be the second set of eyeballs for such a fine article.  [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 04:57, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

== Captions ==
Many thanks for the help with the [[Calvin and Hobbes]] caption!  I hope you don't mind I went in and made it a full sentence.  (That seems to liven things up a bit and make it clearer for people who read the first paragraph and the captions only.)  Thanks again!  I'd sure appreciate your help with some [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing Captions|other captions]]. -- [[User:Ke4roh|ke4roh]] 10:12, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

==The Humungous Image Tagging Project==
Hi. You've helped with the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax]], so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, [[User:Yann/Untagged Images]], which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for ''at at'' and ''the the'', non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]]

== Image Tag Needed ==

Hi. This image uploaded by you needs an image tag [[:Image:Worcester,MA,FranklinAndMain-June7,2004.jpg]]. Thanks [[User:Evil Monkey|Evil Monkey]] → [[User talk:Name|Talk]] 06:50, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
:Thanks for the catch. I've tagged it PD-self. -- [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]] 19:55, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|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 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s 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 [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|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:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

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

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

== MB vs MiB ==

wrt [[Half-Life 2]]: one MB is a [[megabyte]], or 1000 [[byte]]s. One MiB is a [[mebibyte]], or 1024 bytes. In computing usually mebibytes are used, and thus this should be abbreviated MiB, not MB. The only exception I know of are harddisk sellers: they measure disk size in MB, not MiB, and therefore the disks are smaller than some users think.

The image is not "a screenshot of a copyrighted movie or television program". It is however a screenshot of a game, being a frame of the video that plays during the song (it appears in the middle of [[:Image:IIDX - Machine.jpg]], between the falling notes on each side). --[[User:SPUI|SPUI]] ([[User talk:SPUI|talk]]) 00:34, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Screenshot tag?==
I've noticed that you've been removing this tag from images I've uploaded; is it a redudant tag now? If so, why does it still exist? Or had I just duplicated the message?--[[User:Cyberjunkie|Cyberjunkie]] 02:43, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Ah, I see you're the one who uploaded the 'Fromthetorrens' image.  First, if you took this picture, let me congratulate you on your work.  It's a really nice image, maybe even featured pic material.  But it just doesn't look like a screenshot to me, so I removed the tag.  If it is a screenshot,the feel free to re-add the tag, but please also add some information on the image's source.

:I personally feel that [[Template:Screenshot]] is an obsolete tag, now that we have 5 subject-specific tags (film-, game-, software-, web- and wikipedia-screenshot).  I've made it my mission to recategorize the images in [[:Category:Fair use screenshots]] with the appropriate subject tag; that's how I stumbled upon your image.

:Generally, if you have a tag (such as screenshot, promophoto, etc.) then you don't ned to include the fairuse tag.  Otherwise, as you have said, you're just duplicating the message. &ndash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]] 03:15, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm not due any credit for the picture. Unfortunately, getting about to take photographs is not something I've managed to accomplish, so the best I can contribute is screenshots. I had labelled them screenshot, because they ''are'' screenshots of television broadcasts. I also labelled them free use because at the time I uploaded them, there was an ambiguity  about what a screenshot was - at least that's what I recall. However, I note your point that, as screenshots, I should have recorded the image source. I will attempt to set about doing so in the near-future.--[[User:Cyberjunkie|Cyberjunkie]] 04:21, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Actually, perhaps a [[Template:television-screenshot]] could be created to eliminate any vagueness, and confirm [[Template:Screenshot]] as a redundant label.--[[User:Cyberjunkie|Cyberjunkie]] 04:27, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== SocEur template ==

G'day, EagleOne, thanks for the message.  I'm still very new at this, so I'd appreciate any advice.

I emailed the webmaster specifically to ask permission for WikiPedia, and it was granted-with-credit in his reply (that's why it won't be found on the website!).  I don't know whether the site-owner would have said "okay" if I'd asked for them for commercial use, but I can ask.

But while I'm leaving messages, I have a question.  I've used SocEur templates for [[Christian Vieri]] and [[Radhi Jaidi]].  When I finished uploading the first image (C Vieri) I emailed the soccer-europe owner to ask him if he considered that sufficient.  As you can see if you visit the Vieri entry, he did not, and he added a copyright notice to the caption.  I don't know if copyright notices in captions is permissable on WikiPedia.

If so, (and if it isn't a non-commercial licence), I'll add a note to the template telling people using the images to put a copyright notice in the caption as well.  If not, I'll have to delete the images that're there.

Cheers,   --[[User:MarkGallagher|MarkGallagher]] 01:36, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
:Ok, I see.  Generally we do not allow images by permission only, as those tend to have restrictions on commercial use.  In keeping with the "free encyclopedia" theme, the higher-ups recently anounced a ban on non-commercial use images; if these images turn out to be non-comm-use, then we'll have to delete them and find free alternatives.
:Yes, copyright notices are acceptable in photo captions.  It is all about how you interpret the "with atrribution" part of the license; some require a notice just on the image description page, other require a notice with every use (that is, whenever the pic is used in an article).  If you intend to upload many more images from this site, then I suggest modifying the template to include a copyright notice, a la "Image copyright (©) http://soccer-europe.com/".
:While we're on the subject of modifying templates, may I suggest that you put a link to the license in the template itself?  You could put the text on your user_talk page (or a subpage).  Just make sure to get the webmaster's permission to post the email online ''before'' you do so; he/she may not want to have their personal correspondence available for everyone to see!

== [[Worcester, Massachusetts]] - external links ==

Before we get into an edit war over external links (which, by the way, I modified to those I believe are ''actually'' relevant to the article), there are some questions that I need answered to convince me that the links that I eliminated should be in the Worcester article:
#If the links are available in other articles, what special significance do they have concerning Worcester (and hence justify their need to be in the Worcester article)? Merely providing more publicity for a particular organization by placing it in several articles is a very bad reason for I don't believe Wikipedia should be a link farm (a search engine can easily do the job).
#Do the links have information about Worcester ''overall'' that isn't/can't be covered by the article itself?

I hope to have this issue resolved before it escalates. [[User:Pentawing|Pentawing]] 06:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

== Tags on [[:Image:ViewCVS.png]] ==

Hello. I'm a bit confused as to why you have replaced the existing {{tl|software-screenshot}} with {{tl|mac-software-screenshot}} and {{tl|web-screenshot}}.

The second one I can sort of understand, but the screenshot is not of a website. It is of a piece of software that just happens to have a web interface.

The first one I don't understand at all. Ignoring the fact that you've tagged it again as a type of software despite the web tag, what makes you think this is '''''Mac''''' software? --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 11:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

:Hi ParanoidOne, I tagged that image with mac-software-screenshot primarily because of the two interface elements at the bottom of the screen: the listbox and the button.  Generally I tag any webpage screenshot with both the web-screenshot and software-screenshot tags, unless it contains absolutely no interface elements (including scrollbars, status bars, tabs, menubars, toolbars, etc.).  When we license an image, we have to take into account everything in the image, including the [[look and feel]] of the software interface elements.  

:Why specifically mac-software-screenshot, you ask?  Because the look-and-feel of the interface elements in the image is reminiscent of Mac OS X, thus the mac-specific tag. &mdash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]]\<sup>[[User_talk:EagleOne|Talk]]</sup> 18:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

::OK. So for the first point, perhaps a {{tl|web-software-screenshot}} template might be appropriate for software that only has a web interface. Saves having to use two templates which a) cause clutter and b) aren't quite correct.
::For the second point, that classification method seems illogical to me. The software itself is not running on an a mac as far as I know. Most likely it's some form of unix (Sourceforge would have more information). The screenshot itself was not taken on a mac. It's a screenshot of Opera on Windows and just happens to have a mac-like skin applied. Tagging things based purely on appearance just doesn't seem right to me. I understand that {{tl|screenshot}} is being deprecated, but what's wrong with just {{tl|software-screenshot}}? I'm going to revert the changes for the moment, and suggest the creation of web-software-screenshot at the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|Image copyright tags]] page. --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 20:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

==Skaggs family image tagging help==
Hi, I need some help with some copyright tag selection, please.  The article under construction can be found at "Skaggs Family".  There are three categories of image sources that have and I think I've only decoded one tag so far and it doesn't seem appropriate for what I'm trying to do. Taking this case first: I have a physical letter from the publisher of a report granting me permission to put 4 images on Wikipedia. It seems, however, that the {copyright} tag, appropriate for this category, now doesn't enable this permission(???) 

The other sources fall into websites and newpapers.  The websites are from Safeways, a Skaggs Health Center site acknowledging the Skaggs couple who set up the Center, and a site that covers the history of grocery stores, called groceteria. I have contacted the latter one to gain permission us use 3 images from there.

The images from newspapers involve one set from the early 1900s and one from the LA Times in 1988. Please
help me find the the appropriate tags for the websites and newspaper sources and help understand why I can't use the copyrighted material when I hold a letter giving permission to use 4 images in Wikipedia only.
My user name is Don Nielson but I'm new to this world.  Thanks.

:Hi Don, welcome to wikipedia.  Your question about copyrights is one that I've seen crop up quite a few times on the discussion forums.  Basically, since this is a "free" encyclopedia, we want all content to be licenseable under the GFDL or a similar license.  What this amounts to is basically allowing anyone to use the images for any purpose, including commercial interests, as long as credit is given to the original author.  Statements giving explicit permission to wikipedia used to be acceptable, but The Powers that Be changed that around May 2005.  The reason being that such stements allow for the images' use on wikipedia, but they do not account for third-party users (people who download images from here and use them for their own purposes).

:For the newspaper images, I'd say you can make a good case that the old images falls under the public domain, given its age.  If you can, upload the image's date of publication and the name of the newspaper in which it was published, so that this can be verified in case anyone challenges the its legality.  The newer image is probably still subject to copyright.  If I recall correctly, the copyright term in the US is 50 years after the death of the author.

:As for the website images, make sure that the websites actually hold the copyright to the images on their pages; since its very easy to duplicate images on the Web, you can't take this for granted.  Assuming that the websites do hold the copyrights, seek out the owners to see if they will allow publication of the images under a GFDL license. &mdash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]]\<sup>[[User_talk:EagleOne|Talk]]</sup> 01:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I have recently created a [[Star Wars: Obi-Wan]] userbox and would like you to have it on your userpage because of your edits in the beginning of the year to the article, [[Star Wars: Obi-Wan|Star wars Obi Wan.]] For editing well in that article, you might as well have this (if you want it).

<code>{{User:Scepia/Obi-Wan game}}</code>

== Image Copyright Tags ==

Hi, I need some help with determining copyright status of some as-yet-unloaded images.  I want to make sure I do it right the first time.  I'm planning to write an article about a well-known WWII Luftwaffe Sergeant.  He has since passed on, but his family wrote to me and told me they would be willing to pass along digital images of photos they have in their/their father's personal collection.  Some of these photos were included in a book about their father and the author (U.S.) of that book has also been contacted about allowing use of those photos for this project.   What tag goes on those photos then, or do I need to get additional info/permission from these kind people before I can proceed?  Many thanks.

==Re: George Mason article==
I found it a little messy that some 24 characters had various types of disambiguation in their brackets:  Some had (24), some had (character), some had (24 character).  I though they should all be consistent.  Look at all the characters articles for [[Prison Break]].  They all have the same disambiguation. --[[User:T smitts|T smitts]] 18:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== "Fixed an LDAP link" on [[Automounter]] ==

Out of curiousity, what was broken?  I do think it ''improved'' the link, as it now gives an expansion upon rollover, but it wasn't actually broken.  I only bring this up as it might be a symptom of an incipient urge to [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not change links to redirects that are not broken|fix wikilinks that aren't broken]].  Cheers,[[User:NapoliRoma|NapoliRoma]] ([[User talk:NapoliRoma|talk]]) 20:22, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
:So the real issue here is my use of the word "Fixed" in this context, instead of "Improved".  OK.  I chose that word for the sake of expediency.  It takes less time to type "Fixed".  Your point is valid, that it technically wasn't broken; however, I just don't care.  As for "fixing links that aren't broken", I do on occasion check for pages that link to "LDAP" the redirect page and point them to the article.  I do this mostly when I'm bored, and because I believe that articles should link directly to the intended page, not a redirect page.
:Your implication is that I shouldn't "fix" links that aren't broken.  I ask, "what's the harm"?  I will continue to "fix" those pages that link to "LDAP" whenever I get bored; though, maybe I'll start writing "Improved an LDAP link" in the edit summary to settle the anal-retentive crowd. &mdash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]]\<sup>[[User_talk:EagleOne|Talk]]</sup> 21:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


::Sorry, I seem to have touched a nerve here, which was not my intent. As I said, I recognize that adding the pipe in this case is a net goodness, since it provides an expansion of the initialism if someone rolls over the link.
::However, I didn't mean to imply that in general, unbroken links shouldn't be fixed; I was actually hoping to be very explicit about this.
::In some cases (and acronym/initialism expansion is the only one I can think of), it's acceptable; in most cases, at best it's editing churn -- especially since what's the "real" article name and what's a redirect can and does change.  At some point in the future, someone may consider that no one ever says "our Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server must be down" and change the name of the article to "LDAP" -- is it then ideal to update all the articles that linked to the former name, even though it still exists as a redirect? In other cases, you may be circumventing an article name that later becomes an article of its own.
::That's why I included the link to [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not change links to redirects that are not broken]], which covers "what's the harm?" In the greater schem of things, though, it's not the most egregious crime on WP; carry on if you must.  But I did want to point out it goes agsinst guidelines, for what seem to be decent reasons.  But again, I didn't mean to be contentious about it.--[[User:NapoliRoma|NapoliRoma]] ([[User talk:NapoliRoma|talk]]) 19:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

== Deleting Green IT link on Green Computing page ==

Hi - I have tried to add the Green IT Event link to the Green Computing page.   You have deleted it as 'it is blantant advertising'.

I don't quite understand why an event dedicated at all issues of Green Computing is not worthy of being linked to, in comparision to say:

Software
LocalCooling - a free power management tool for Microsoft Windows from Uniblue Labs that allows users to optimize their PC's energy usage. 
SusiClimate - a Mac OS X application which calculates the PC's current CO2 emissions in realtime

In the case of LocalCooling this software just does what the OS can do but with Uniblues branding all over it!

Also Green IT http://greenit.net/ - is a consultancy!

I am starting to lose faith with Wiki as events are always logged as spam whereas companies are regulary listed.   I also cite that CES in Vegas is listed in Wiki - that's an event.

Green IT Event is going to be very important for raising awareness in the UK over Green issues.

I would also submit that the event includes involvement from
Microsoft
Forrester
VMware
Dell
ComputerWorld UK

And the content includes debates, seminars, workshops, government awareness raising activity etc.

Most of whom are listed in Wikipedia.

The event link by the way will not become redundant as the event is annual and will includes a directory of suppliers, news, white papers etc all year round.

Yes - it is companies responsiblity to advertise their products but in business companies deal with other profit making industries and as this thread talks about mainly business issues (virtualisation) so most relevent links will be to businesses?

So with all the discussion above I submit my case for the entry to stand.  I submitted twice by the way so as to attached my login to the submittal so you know it's me who submitted.

yours faithfully

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]].  I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:List of speech recognition software]], and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: [[:List of commercial speech recognition programs]].  It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.  If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on [[User talk:Coren|the maintainer's talk page]].

== LDAP Software - clients... ==

DirectoryMark uses LDAP, yes, but it is not actually *useful* for its stated purpose. I.e., as a directory benchmark suite it is worthless. It also hasn't been updated in years, there's no value in referencing it.

It is single-threaded, so it doesn't generate enough load to indicate the actual performance of the target server. Generally its load-generator scripts use a broken random number generator, so it doesn't actually test across the full range of entries in a given database. And of course, the load generators are pure perl code, so they're extremely slow. There's at least a 100:1 difference between using the pure perl vs e.g. Net::LDAPapi which provides perl wrappers for the C API.

DirectoryMark should be dropped from this page and never mentioned again.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Highlandsun|Highlandsun]] ([[User talk:Highlandsun|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Highlandsun|contribs]]) 22:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:"...never mentioned again"?  Sure sounds like you have a grudge or something against DirectoryMark.  Even if that's not the case, the last update brought around LDAPv3 support, which makes it compatible with the most recent version of the protocol.  I think we should keep it on the [[List of LDAP software]] article, because it LDAP software, and I still find it useful for it's intended purpose.  Let the reader decide if directoryMark is a good fit for their needs.  I'm not in the business of making up other people's minds, which is what you're asking by completely taking DirectoryMark off the list. &mdash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]]\<sup>[[User_talk:EagleOne|Talk]]</sup> 01:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

::Their package hasn't been updated since 2003, and as I already mentioned, nothing that it claims to measure bears any relation to reality. If you look at their published reports, the last LDAP server they tested was Netscape 3.0. They still quote that they adhere to draft 00 of the LDIF spec, even though LDIF was finalized as an RFC years ago.  It has no relevance to LDAPv3 today, they don't even reference the RFC4510-xx series of specs. If you think you're getting meaningful results from it, you're seriously deluded. If your aim is to provide a high quality of information here, then even suggesting that DirectoryMark should be used is derailing your goal. [[User:Highlandsun|Highlandsun]] ([[User talk:Highlandsun|talk]]) 17:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

:::While I don't appreciate you calling me deluded, there's no denying that DirectoryMark has not been updated for many years.  Whether the data it produces bears any connection to "reality" is your opinion, and you're welcome to it.  I still say we should let the readers decide whether DirectoryMark is a good fit for their needs.  I'm willing to compromise with you and move DirectoryMark into a "Historical" section or else mark it as such, if you're willing to lay off the insults. &mdash; [[User:EagleOne|EagleOne]]\<sup>[[User_talk:EagleOne|Talk]]</sup> 21:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

::::Everything I've listed for its shortcomings are facts, not opinions. DirectoryMark is full of bugs and is technically obsolete, these are facts. The numbers that it yields are much smaller than real world applications will observe, and that is also a fact. Its stated purpose is to measure the performance of directory servers - that is also a fact. The bugs in its load generators and their overall poor implementation prevents it from accurately measuring a directory server's performance - this is a fact. What is insulting is that you ignore all these facts and label them as opinion. "Letting the reader decide" is valid when the choices are reasonably equivalent and readers are already cognizant of the ramifications of each choice. But unless you've used each of these packages extensively, as I have, you aren't going to be sufficiently cognizant, and on technical merit the choices are far from equivalent. Of course, if you already knew the pros and cons you wouldn't need to be reading a Wikipedia article. Marking it as "Historical" is a start, but that's still too mild. The LDAP world has left it behind, for numerous solid reasons, and you haven't even hinted at any of them. [[User:Highlandsun|Highlandsun]] ([[User talk:Highlandsun|talk]]) 22:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a [[Wikipedia:Wadewitz Tribute Edit-a-thons|worldwide series of tributes]], New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Redline (API)]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Redline (API)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing [[Wikipedia:General notability guideline]] and the more detailed [[Wikipedia:Notability (software)]] requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and [[WP:ECHO|ping me back]] through [[WP:ECHO]] or by leaving a note at [[User talk:Piotrus]]. Thank you.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Redline (API)|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 10:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
