Woodstock Opera House

Are you from Woodstock? I was just there recently. It's a pretty nice little town. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 04:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, I've lived here all my life. I'm actually in the process of doing a show at the Opera House right now. Williamnilly 05:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw those bird house things and almost bought some raffle tickets. But then I thought about hauling that thing around. The Square when lit is beautiful. Go Marian Central Hurricanes, right? Oh well, cheers. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 05:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Office episodes

Hey thanks for doing what you're doing! When creating those articles we should probably be adding a link to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) episodes under the See also heading, right? Just a reminder :) Mrtea (talk) 01:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good thinking! Williamnilly 01:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, your thinking is even better! :) The infobox is great. I'm not sure if you're aware, so I'll point you to some related discussion here. Mrtea (talk) 13:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, I moved Diversity Day to Diversity Day (The Office episode) to keep with your pattern. Jfing ers88 22:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but I was only doing that for episodes that had names that were shared with other entries. I appreciate the help, but at least start a message thread *before* just doing something like that. Williamnilly 22:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about your Hot Girl article? Should that be moved too, if just to keep the pattern? Jfing ers88 22:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose, but all the second season articles have already been established, so this should be the last one. Thanks. Williamnilly 22:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Office

Just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for all your excellent work on all The Office related pages. Excellent work on adding all that trivia, and all impeccably referenced. Good work! Qutezuce 07:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm working towards maybe one day getting a page featured, hence all that proper citation jazz. :) Williamnilly 19:47, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Wow, you're really doing a great job with the related office templates and article edits. Just something to keep in mind: Your edit summary usage is 88% for major edits and 7% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace. [1]

Edit summaries let other users easily tell what changes you've made, and let them easily decide if it's worth looking at the article's diff. Obivously none of your edits are malicious, but everyone loves an edit summary. Thanks again for your good work, Mrtea (talk) 21:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I tend to get sloppy when it's a minor edit and honestly, most of the minor edits (spelling, grammar, adding a capital or a period, etc.) aren't worth a look. But I'll try to remember that everyone's curious at new edits, big or small. Thanks for the kudos! Williamnilly 22:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving talk pages

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that you should archive old discussions rather then just deleting them. Qutezuce 02:32, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I actually moved most of them to their appropriate pages, mainly Characters from The Office (US). Actually, I don't think I moved any to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) episodes. When I went to put in the FAC notation, I got the message at the top that said the page was getting too long. I didn't realize I could archive the old articles. Again, my apologies. Williamnilly 02:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I realized that you probably didn't know about archiving so I left this note for you. Cheers. Qutezuce 02:41, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem

Thanks for your uploads. You've indicated that the following images are being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why they meet Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page an image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --06:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Herrmeetshare.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Herrmeetshare.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Non-free rationale for File:Voicesthatcarechoir.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Voicesthatcarechoir.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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. 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, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

We noticed though that when you edited Sammy Davis, Jr. at Town Hall, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jerry Ross, Robert Wright and George Forrest (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Non-free rationale for File:Retrosnicholsmay.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Retrosnicholsmay.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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. 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, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Show (American TV series) (March 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Show (American TV series) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
