WP:AOW

Hi, I'm a new member of WP:AOW. I've noticed that the stub templates have been proposed for rename ... no problem, but the stub categories have also been nominated for deletion. Could I get your help to oppose the category deletions (here: Wikipedia:Stub_types_for_deletion/Log/2011/February/15) --Hutcher (talk) 17:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing; I'll look into it in a moment! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 23:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rescaled

Hi, when tagging rescaled non-free files, please use five tildes, not four, as the template can't understand a timestamp with a username in it and dumps them in Category:Rescaled fairuse images with invalid timestamp. Thanks. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Wikipedia Ambassador Program

Hi Wilhelmina!

Congratulations! Your application to join the Wikipedia Ambassador Program as an Online Ambassador has been accepted.

First off, I apologize for the following info-dump. If you're wondering how to get started or are wondering what's going on, please contact me.

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Guidelines

The "mentorship process" section lays out approximately what will be expected of you as a mentor. If you'd like, you can also volunteer to be the coordinating online ambassador for a class or two.

Please add yourself to the top of the list of available mentors, and note the number of students you think you'd like to mentor next term (it doesn't have to be a final answer, this is just to help with matching students and mentors once the students start getting active) and if you'd like to take on the coordination role for any classes note that as well: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Mentors (Don't add yourself to the lower "Additional online ambassadors section; that's for ambassadors-in-training and ambassadors who are already mentoring all the the students they want to take on.)

To coordinate between Online Ambassadors and Campus Ambassadors, we've been using a Google Group as a mailing list. It's not required, but almost all the ambassadors are on it. Would you like me to subscribe you? Email me with your email address if so.

You can catch with what's been going on so far with the first major message this term, with details about what the group should and shouldn't be used for: Wikipedia_talk:Ambassadors#Information_for_Ambassadors_about_January_-_May_2011_term

You can also check out the first two ambassador newsletters, which have more detail about what's going on right now. You'll get future editions delivered to your talk page.

If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup.

Finally, please help us find more mentors! Because the number of students, and their involvement with mentors, is increasing so much for this term, we're going to need a lot of solid Online Ambassadors. Please take a few minutes to think of several other editors you know who would make good mentors, and invite them to apply the the Wikipedia Ambassador Program. The key things we look for are: regular activity (so that we can be confident they'll keep up with their mentoring role for the whole term), friendliness, and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones). You can point them to Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors for information on how to apply and what to expect.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Image tagging for File:Ejzl2h.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ejzl2h.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

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

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Foo Fighters Wasting Light Album Cover.jpg

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

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:06, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive Needs Your Help!

Please help!

The February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive is almost complete. Please help, as the backlog is still very large. Still exceeding 20,000 articles! The goal is 18,000 or less. Lets see if we can do it! We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please remind your friends to help as well.Thank you for all your help thus far!

Mentoring

Hello, I'm looking for a Wikipedia mentor. Would you mind helping me? Manilapacman (talk) 15:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Typo Team Work

Hi. You're doing some great typo team work, making lots of corrections, so thanks from me (and, I'm sure, the rest of the team and the whole community). Could I ask you to be careful of one thing though? When you update the Wikipedia:Typo Team/works completed list, can you remember to keep it in chronological order with new additions always made to the end of the list, rather than grouping all of your own changes together - it gets archived in date order, so that's the way it really needs to be kept. One other suggestion - most people tend to group their total daily work into one line rather than adding a new line per typo corrected, so that the list doesn't grow too long and unwieldy too quickly, and I hope you might consider doing it that way - you can see the way people generally do it. Best regards, and keep up the good work. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Public Policy Initiative Recruiting Assessors for Spring

Hi Wilhelmina Will,
I saw that you are in the Wikification Leaderboard of February 2011 and I would like to ask you if you want to participate in an initiative [Public Policy Initiative (PPI)] carried out by Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Public Policy. If you are interested in research and want to experiment with article assessment or just want to help out, please, join our group of assessors because we really need your help. If you have questions or need more information, please check out the discussion on the assessment tab and the WPUSPP Assessment department, or contact ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk · contribs), who is the Research Analyst for the project. Also, if you know valuable and trusted editors who are expert in USPP and/or articles assessment, please invite them to participate to this project. The work to be done is not so much, and will start next spring. Your help would be much needed and greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance and all the best. –pjoef (talkcontribs) 10:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Wikify's Newsletter

Hello Wilhelmina Will! Just a quick note to ask if you would like to write an editorial for WikiProject Wikify's March Newsletter. Since you Wikified an astounding 270 articles, it seemed proper that you be asked first. If you do not want to or don't have the time, don't worry about it. Thanks!

Replaceable fair use File:12thPlanetPressPhoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:12thPlanetPressPhoto.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. —Bkell (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please be the mentor for the students working on Sable Communications of California v. FCC and USTA v. FCC

Hi Wilhelmina! I'm currently trying to assign mentors to all the remaining groups in Professor Obar's class. Would you be the mentor for the group of students working on Sable Communications of California v. FCC and the group working on USTA v. FCC (which have not been created yet)?

Check Your Area of Study

Hello, I have updated the Project Page you are mentoring on with usernames for all the students in your Area of Study. Please send them a message introducing yourself and let them know you are there to help.

As always, please let me know if I can be of assistance. Take Care...NeutralhomerTalk10:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I presume you mean contact them on the project page, in the appropriate section? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 01:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the slow reply, I hit the proverbial "wall" about 6pm and just woke up for a couple. I was meaning contact them via their individual talkpages and just watchlist them. What I do for a mass post is write it down, copy it and paste it to each person. That way you have a good post and don't have to keep typing it. :) - NeutralhomerTalkCoor. Online Amb'dor06:00, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I believe I've already done so. At least, I contacted everyone who had listed themselves in the sections on the two projects I was asked to mentor for. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:42, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okie Dokie. I just wanted to make sure everyone was notified that I had updated all the sections with usernames that weren't put in place by the students. Some were, some weren't, so I wanted to make sure. Take Care...NeutralhomerTalkCoor. Online Amb'dor08:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello this is Nick from Michigan State University. Thanks for getting a hold of my group, we look forward to working with and getting your advice in the next few weeks and month as we begin our page. We haven't created the actual page yet but we're going to work within one of our sandboxes first so we'll send you the link soon so you can stay updated. Please feel free to send us and advice if you want.
