Userbox

Hmm... I'm not absolutely sure what you want me to do. I'm going to make a few changes. You let me know if that's alright.

Edit: Ok, it turns out you created a subpage under a new username. The subpage you created was called User:I'm Nonpartisan/Userboxes/La Leche League Leader. This is different than your current username, which is User:I'm nonpartison. Notice the capitalization of 'N' in the new page. That's ok. I've moved that page to User:I'm nonpartisan/Userboxes/La Leche League Leader. As you can see, the nonpartison is not capitalized.

For the userbox (ubx), I made the font slightly smaller. I'm not much of a coder myself. ;) I added the ubx to the Health section, as you requested. It's near the bottom. Let me know if you need help in anything else. :) W3stfa11/^{Talk to me} 23:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, just for reference, when you leave a comment on a talk page, you should sign your posts. Just a heads up. :) W3stfa11/^{Talk to me} 23:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I'm glad I could help. Send any questions my way when you have them. :) Cheers. W3stfa11/^{Talk to me} 05:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive!

WikiProject Biography is holding a three month long assessment drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unassessed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2007 – September 1, 2007.

Awards to be won range from delicacies such as the WikiCookie to the great Golden Wiki Award.
There are over 110,000 articles to assess so please visit the drive's page and help out!

This drive was conceived of and organized by Psychless with the help of Ozgod. Regards, Psychless ^{Type words!}.

Hello, thanks for your recent additions to the Baha'i House of Worship. Can you please also add the references for the newly added content. Thanks. -- Jeff3000 19:43, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Evanston

I don't disagree with you about the coverage of Pickett's death, but I think you misread what I was doing. Linkboyz deleted the entire section called "Controversy" with the edit comment "removed unsourced material--please include sources, how do we know any of this is true?" Although I did not write any of that material, I can assure you that as a 25-year resident of Evanston, the section is well-written, accurate and can be sourced through sources like the Chicago newspapers and the Evanston Review. I simply reinstated the entire section with the intent to go back soon and provide sources. I did not add the material back after you deleted it the first time; someone else must have done so since it was back in the article at the time Linkboyz came along. -- DS1953 ^talk 02:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I think we are on the same page. I don't think Wikipedia is the place to discuss local political issues in depth (pro or con) but the existence of general issues like development and the controversial role of NU in the community are worth noting in the Evanston article (with sources, of course). -- DS1953 ^talk 03:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Picture

Given that Kevin Locke is still alive, any picture posted on Wikipedia of him has to be under a free license such as the GFDL, or a subset of the Creative Commons licences (such as cc-by-sa). Images under Flickr are not usually under such licences, but if they are, they can be uploaded to Wikipedia. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 05:04, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

You have to be a little careful with Creative Commons licences since some of them are considered free by Wikipedia, and some aren't. For example, this image has a cc-by-nc-nd licence which is not considered free since it doesn't allow commerical use and doesn't allow derivative works. Licences that are cc-by (attribution) or cc-by-sa (attribution and share-alike) are the ones that allowed in Wikipedia. I couldn't find an appropriate one on Flickr, but maybe by contacting the photographers, they will release the image under a suitable licence.

Proposed deletion of The Real Truth About Success

The article The Real Truth About Success has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional, and does not meet the general notability guidelines - for inclusion, an article requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I cannot find such coverage.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Chzz  ►  01:02, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of The Real Truth About Success

I have nominated The Real Truth About Success, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Real Truth About Success. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  Chzz  ►  11:12, 7 October 2099 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:TheRealTruthAboutSuccess BookCover.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:TheRealTruthAboutSuccess BookCover.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Garrison Wynn.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Garrison Wynn.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:31, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Category:Native American Music Award Winner

Hi

I have proposed renaming or deleting Category:Native American Music Award Winner, which you created.

Your comments would be welcome in the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 25#Novelists_by_fiction_subject_area, where I have explained the reasons for this proposal. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Garrison Wynn

Hello I'm nonpartisan, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Garrison Wynn, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:Orangemike. This has been done because the page is a blatant advert that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "{{hangon}}" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:Orangemike. Thanks, - SDPatrolBot II (talk) on behalf of Orangemike (talk · contribs) 19:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Survey

Hi Candace!

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!

Wilmette Institute

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wilmette Institute, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://bahaikipedia.org/Wilmette_Institute.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Hello Bot, I am the author of both pages, as you can see by my user name and am substantially changing the content for Wikipedia.I'm Nonpartisan 17:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Wilmette Institute, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bosch (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:30, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wilmette Institute

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Wilmette Institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Jeff3000 (talk) 16:33, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
