June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Larkin Grimm. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The edit history of the article (click here) clearly shows that you were the one who deleted the AfD notice. It's one thing to delete AfD notices, but then to not be truthful about it once you're called on it is quite another. If you are seen as dealing in bad faith, you aremore likely to be blocked. I may disagree with PhilKnight on the deletion of this article, but he's far too experienced at Wikipedia to not know about deleting AfD notices, so don't try to pin this on him. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I think that Samantha555 is not referring to her removal of the AFD notice, but rather PhilKnight's edit which removed the {{db-band}} tag. As a relatively new user, she may be unaware of the distinction between speedy deletion and Articles for deletion. Michael Slone (talk) 02:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Michael Slone. I am relatively new here, although I have created three other articles that I never had trouble with. I deffiantly do not think I should be blocked, as I never meant to pin anything on anyone. I just meant that a few days ago PhilKnight removed the speedy deletion tag. I thought that was the last I would hear about any problems with this article. If anything I've praised PhilKnight, and if you go to history, you will see he added references to the Larkin Grimm page, as well as the removal of the speedy deletion tag a few days ago, and I thanked him.

Larkin Grimm

Thanks for starting the Larkin Grimm article. As a Memphian, I very much appreciate the effort and time you put into it, especially considering all that you had to deal with. I hope the whole ordeal didn't throw you off of Wikipedia. Some editors tend to hound specific individuals and demonize the work they're trying to do, which I think violates the Wikipedian ethic altogether. Keep up the good work! Icarus of old (talk) 22:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the kind comment. I by no means leaving Wikipedia. I have contributed a dozen articles thus far and will continue doing so. I never had a problem with creating articles until the Larkin Grimm one. Very odd! Thanks again!! Samantha555 (talk) 01:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

You've uploaded File:Parplar.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: II (April 2010)

Sociology Project • News • April 2010
Spreading the meme since August 2006
The Sociology WikiProject is conducting a roll call (or min-census, if you prefer). More then five years down the road, we have over 50 members, but we don't know how many of them are still active in the sociology area. If you are or want to become once again an active contributor to the sociology content on Wikipedia, please move your name from the inactive to the active list on our roll call (or add yourself to the list if you haven't joined yet!). In other news, we have reactivated the newsletter :) At least, for this announcement. We also have a new, automated to do listing, an active tag and assess project (which has identified about 1,800 sociology articles on Wikipedia, and assessed about 1,3000 of them), and three new userboxes for your self-identification pleasure :) On a final note, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.
You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a recipient of WikiProject Sociology Newsletter (Opt-out). • signed

WikiProject Sociology membership

You are listed in the Category:Wikipedians interested in sociology, probably due to the use of "This user is interested in sociology" userbox, but you have not added yourself to our official member list for WikiProject Sociology. This prevents you from, among other things, receiving our sociology newsletter, as that member list acts as our newsletter mailing list (you can find the latest issue of our sociology newsletter here). If you'd like to receive the newsletter and help us figure out how many members we really have, please consider joining our WikiProject and adding yourself to our official member list. Thank you, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 13:24, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Survey

Hi Samantha!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Orphaned non-free image File:Faces in the Rocks.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Faces in the Rocks.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:42, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
