WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

The WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

Issue III - June 2008

From the editor: This is the third edition of the WikiProject Ohio newsletter. If you have any project announcements feel free to drop them by the NewsDesk. It's request that you watchlist our talk page; so you can chime in on current discussions. Have a great June! The Ohio Portal The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images. Getting the Project Moving WikiProject Ohio as an entity doesn't have as much action as other state projects. For this reason it has been proposed that the inactive WikiProject Ohio Townships be added as our taskforce. There is a !poll going on at WT:OH and your opinion is essential in the matter! Stepshep has also proposed sending an invite to everyone in Category:Wikipedians in Ohio with an invite to join the project. If you are already a member you would not receive the notice of course. Once again, please note your opinion on the project talkpage. Selected Article: Central Avenue Historic District (Dayton, Ohio) The Central Avenue Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located at 201 to 338 Central Avenue in Dayton, Ohio. It consists of late 19th and 20th Century Revival-style houses as well as late Victorian-style houses, which were all originally single-family residences. On December 16, 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Each month a new Ohio related stub is the selected article. If you have a new stub created feel free to nominate it at the NewsDesk. Article Assessment Reedy Bot and ShepBot are currently hard at work tagging all of the Ohio articles. We may need to have an assessment drive when the bots are finished. Think of it as a late spring cleaning. Please note your opinions on the project talkpage if you would be interested in helping! 'Over 15,000 articles have been tagged with {{OH-Project}} We have 5,000 articles that need to be assessed for class!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Losttapes.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Losttapes.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, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image:APC-logo.svg

I have tagged Image:APC-logo.svg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

UP College of Social Sciences and Philosophy

Hello, Alex43223! I am sure you mean well to revert my last edit to UP College of Social Sciences and Philosophy. However, before I am accused of vandalism, I would like to invite you to look at the nature of my edit. I was merely replacing the text with the proper templates found here:

{{University of the Philippines, Diliman}}

which produces this:

A Previous Editor put the content of the template instead, which is why the lost text was so long.

Hello, and my name is Gopal81 and I would like to nominate you for adminship. Looking from your edit history, it seems that you are not already an Administrator. If, however, you wish to not become an admin, you can withdraw before I nominate you. Thank you!!Gopal81

Hi Alex! Well it's been a month now since I nominated you, so I just wanted to know how are you doing. Looking at your edit history, I think you should reconsider your option to not be an admin. If you say yes, then the page will be created for you. Or, if you stick with your decision, then leave me a message! Gopal81^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 01:26, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

You reported me for vandalizing the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_greatest_ever

I was pointing out vandalism. Or do you really think that Will Ferrell movie "Elf" from 2003 deserves its prestigious spot on the 1958 Brussels World fair list of important cinema?

You might want to be a little more careful with your anti-vandalism tool. -Craig —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.196.23 (talk) 08:22, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

First, thanks for commenting on the issue. However, starting a discussion in the middle of an article is not the way to achieve anything. If you think a statement made is false, and it is unsourced, place a {{fact}} tag at the end of the sentence. Then, start a discussion on the respective article's talk page. Check out Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines for more info. Cheers! – Alex43223 ^{T | C |E} 08:42, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

And the article is still wrong, and I have less interest in contributing to Wikipedia than ever. It's fascinating how fixated you are on your editorial process, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by75.168.196.23 (talk) 08:54, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Out of Here

Alex,

My apology for what appears to be vandalism. It is not intended to be. I am attempting to delete the refence on this page because it uses a real persons name. When I created the account there is no way of knowing the edits and comments are permenant. The comments bear no relevance to the content of the article. It is most appreciated if you could allow this deletion. I think the text itself can be read an shown to be irelevant. It you would be so kind. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.197.23 (talk) 01:58, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
