Vicky Hamilton

If you are working directly with her, you have a major conflict of interest. Wikipedia policy very strongly discourages anyone from writing an article about themselves, or having someone write one about them. The subject of an article, or someone in his or her employ, is not likely to be an objective judge of whether or not someone meets out notability standards. Furthermore, he or she is not likely to present a fair, balanced, neutral point of view about the person, including any information which may portray the subject in a negative light. I strongly suggest you stop working on this article right away, and let someone who has no connection with Hamilton write an article instead. Otherwise, the article may be seen as self-promotion, and subject to deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Ryan Hamilton for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Ryan Hamilton, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Hamilton until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:41, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks I left this message on the talk page.

Ryan Hamilton if he had made the Eagles team, or any NFL team. However since he did not make the team he does not need a WP page. I started the page I don’t have anything invested in it, a page can be started if he has does something worthy of it. Delete it.

Welcome to Assessment with Wikiproject: U.S. public policy

Thank you for assessing with the PPI, assessing with this project will probably be different than assessing with other projects in Wikipedia. It's different because the many of the articles are stub, start, or C class, and we are not working to assess long lists of articles, but will have multiple reviewers assessing the same set of articles. We are looking for Wikipedians who want to take a more in depth look at assessment and help define what is article quality. Please go to the WP:USPP Assessment page to find more details and your assessment page with the first group of articles for you to evaluate. Thanks and happy editing, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 21:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MDSanker, recently you signed up to help with assessment on Wikiproject: United States Public Policy. This project is probably different than other assessment drives you have worked on, it involves more assessment of lower ranked articles, it has input and staff from the foundation, and specific goals to improve and measure content of public policy articles. It also involves collaboration from some university classes, we are using an experimental assessment rubric, and most articles will be assessed by multiple reviewers to get a range of scores for each article. It's a lot to digest, and totally understandable if it's not what signed up for. However, there are also some exciting perks to this project: 1) your assessments are part of research that is attempting to increase credibility of Wikipedia in academic circles, 2) there is a great group of assessors involved in discussion of what is article quality and how to measure it, 3) WP:USPP is also piloting the Article Feedback tool, so those involved in assessment on the project will be asked to help improve and rate this tool as well, 4) subject matter experts are assessing articles alongside Wikipedians and comparisons of results will provide some insight as to the rigor of Wikipedia quality rating, and 5) other interesting benefits you will find with participation.

The first group of articles requesting your assessment has been posted. I was hoping to do a preliminary comparison of the data on 8 October 2010. The second assessment request, which is part of the same comparison, will go out about the same time. To help with organization, if you haven't posted any assessment scores on your assessment page by 8 October 2010, I will delete your assessment request and you will not receive further requests. I hope the unusualness of this assessment research does not discourage your participation; if you are not interested working in the research I hope you will continue to assess articles within the project. If possible let me know on my talk page if you don't wish to be a part of the research, or perhaps if there was some confusion or bad communication; what the public policy team, and I, in particular, can do to make it more positive for volunteers. Remember, I am new to Wikipedia and trying to learn the best way to research this project, to hopefully integrate the amazing resource that is Wikipedia onto more university campuses and classrooms. Thanks, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 22:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USPP, still interested?

MDSanker, you signed up to assess with WP:USPP. If you are interested in public policy or assessment, check out your assessment page, because there is a lot happening on the project. Most of the recruitment for the assessment team was targeted, so I know you have a lot to offer to the research goals of this project. I posted the second assessment request and there will now be a weekly update on the project assessment page. If you are no longer interested in working on this project, I promise this is the last message you will get, but I hope you decide to check it out. Regards, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 01:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please assess with PPI

Hi MDSanker, you expressed interest in assessing articles with WikiProject: U.S. Public Policy on my talk page last month. Your participation is very welcomed and will contribute to the research in the Public Policy Initiative. The project has been pretty exciting; there are over 25 university classes signed up for spring semester. This project is about more than public policy; it is about using Wikipedia as a teaching tool and recruiting (and hopefully retaining) college students as editors. Please jump in, you can join the ongoing assessments [[1]] and [[2]]. Look for new assessment requests in the blue box of the [assessment page]. I am the research analyst for the project, feel free to contact me. Hope you had a great holiday season, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 23:21, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Randy Piper WAS.png

Thank you for uploading File:Randy Piper WAS.png. 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. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 19:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- What do you mean by "Personal Photograph 2011"? Have you made the photo? If not who? Has this person given permission to use this file on Wikipedia? Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 21:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Perry Wallace.png

Thanks for uploading File:Perry Wallace.png. 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) 16:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John Anderson

The information added here is WP:COATRACKing. The album itself didn't win Anderson any of those awards, so the information is best suited for the songs' articles. If the article for Swingin' didn't mention the award, add that info there instead.

Also, do you notice that things like Horizon Award are redlinked? Do you really think individual CMA and ACM awards will be relevant enough to ever have their own pages? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 02:53, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
